HORIZON EUROPE REGULATION PROGRESSES Members of the European Parliament have adopted the Horizon Europe regulation, while the European Council and the European Parliament have reached a partial agreement on the structure of the regulation.

The EU bodies have agreed on the three-pillar structure proposed by the Commission, supported by a transversal part aimed at addressing the under-representation of lower R&I performing member states. The institutions also agreed on five missions and eight partnership areas, which will be finalised by the Commission in the Strategic Planning.

SEA Europe's secretary general, Christophe Tytgat, said: “SEA Europe welcomes this partial agreement on Horizon Europe and particularly the fact that the cluster “climate change, energy and mobility” will be kept together.

“SEA Europe has lobbied very hard for this result since we believe that it will be the only way for the maritime technology sector to fully implement the Strategic Research

MONOPILES IN TRANSIT

Seagull Maritime Onboard training provider Seagull Maritime announced that it has acquired a majority of the shares in Tero Marine. Tero Marine, headquartered in Bergen, Norway, has developed fleet management software for the shipping industry for more than three decades.

The company’s flagship, TM Master, is recognized as one of the leading brands in the business. Today, TM Master is a crucial tool for shipowners, not only as an instrument for planned maintenance.

Piriou The French shipbuilder and repairer continues its international development and is locating in Abidjan on the Ivory Coast, by acquiring the majority stake in Marine Industrie Service (MIS), rebranded Piriou Côte D’ivoire.

Created in 1991, MIS offer ship maintenance and repair services, as well as industrial maintenance.

8 Transport monopile foundations aerial view

Belgium's Jan De Nul Group has reached an important milestone on the Formosa 1 Phase 2 OWF project offshore Taiwan, with all 20 foundation monopiles leaving the EEW SPC yard in Germany.

Both heavy load transport vessels set sail to Taichung port, the marshalling harbour for the OWF project in Taiwan. This transport is an important step in the procurement phase of this project. Now that these substantial components for the OWF construction are mobilized, the

installation phase will soon begin Apart from the overseas procurement and services, Jan De Nul Group has finalized various service and subcontract agreements with local entities in Taiwan. After having appointed Taichung Port as marshalling harbour for the project, Jan De Nul set up its local supply chain, which includes quarry rock production for the foundation scour design, rock load-out operations, storage and transport of the foundation structures,

installation of transition joint bays and land cables installation.

Philippe Hutse, Offshore Director at Jan De Nul Group: “Our local integration has been ongoing for years. In the past months, we have signed several agreements with local suppliers for this project in Taiwan. These engagements fit perfectly in our philosophy of involving the local supply chain as much as possible.”

EIVA A/S REPORTS STRONG RESULTS

stronger growth and results than expected, resulting in more than 38% growth in gross profit and 77% growth in EBITDA. All product areas have grown, comprising Eiva software and hardware, rental and our third-party equipment sales.'

Eiva's strategy of increasing investment in its own product development in line with install base growth has led to the expansion of their team in 2018 as well - resulting in even more

product capabilities to sustain future growth. For 2019, this means the release of more new products and more features, both towards existing customer segments and expanding into new ones.

'Eiva's 2019 prospects are therefore positive with expectation of further growth based on current market conditions, not least due to encouraging developments seen in the various market segments,' said Jeppe Nielsen.

Damen loss Damen Shipyards Group has posted a net loss of 17 million euro for 2018. This is the first time in 15 years that the Dutch shipbuilder has announced losses. Damen reports that its financial situation stems from a sustained period of difficulty in a number of maritime sectors and investments it has made in its future.

Notably, despite rising oil prices, the offshore hydrocarbon sectors continue to present tough trading conditions. The harbour towage sector, a key market for Damen, is also underperforming as competition in the marketplace exerts downward pressure on prices and tug operators seek to consolidate their operations.

The UK Harbour Masters' Association (UKHMA) has announced the imminent appointment of a new Executive Officer in the first change in the Association's secretariat in over 20 years.

Long-standing Executive Officer, Peter Moth, is set to retire in June, having taken over the post as a 'temporary stand-in' in 1998 following the sudden illness of his predecessor. During his tenure, the UKHMA has developed from a modest group of regional harbour masters into a nationwide professional body that contributes at the highest level of governmental and regulatory decision making and is now regarded as the leading resource for port marine operational policy and practice.

Following an exhaustive selection process, Captain Martin Willis, presently Harbour Master, Port of Blyth, will be appointed in June as the new Executive Officer (XO) when he will also undertake the additional formal duties of Association Secretary. The XO office will move to a new location in the North East while the main administrative and membership functions will remain with Sue Clark, the UKHMA Membership Manager, at the existing Farnborough office. The popular Autumn and Spring Seminar series will continue to be managed by Maritime Intelligence Ltd, of which Peter Moth remains a Director.

Commenting on his appointment, Capt. Willis remarked: “It is with great personal pleasure and honour that I accept

NEW EXECUTIVE OFFICER FOR UKHMA

the opportunity to succeed Peter as Executive Officer of the Association. As a long-time Member of the UKHMA, and as current Vice President of the Association, I have a vested interest in maintaining the professional recognition and industry-wide appreciation of the responsible role undertaken by harbour masters.

“Knowing I have 'big shoes' to fill will help me to continue to deliver the Association's aims and objectives as we look to enhance the UKHMA's professional relevance and membership benefits into the next decade. I would like to take this opportunity to wish Peter all the best for his retirement and would like to thank him on behalf of the Association's

membership for his unstinting dedication and hard work over the previous 21 years in creating the professionally recognised Association of today”.

Looking back over his term in office, Peter Moth reflected, “It is with great pride and satisfaction that I will hand over the Association to Martin. The UKHMA has matured into a professional body with authority in both national and international maritime sectors and provides significant levels of reassurance and guidance to harbour masters in ports large and small, throughout the British Isles.

“Of particular note during my tenure, has been the development of an MCA-recognised Harbour Master Certificate and the introduction of a Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

programme, both of which contribute significantly to the professional standing of harbour masters in the overall maritime community”.

Peter Moth is best known around here though for setting up Maritime Journal back in 1987.

Capt. Willis will officially take over the XO responsibilities at the UKHMA's Annual General Meeting, which will be held, according to recent tradition, adjacent to and concurrently with Seawork International on 12 June in ABP Southampton.

CRANE VESSEL FLEET EXPANSION FOR SPLIETHOFF Spliethoff Group has expanded with four multipurpose tween deck vessels and six heavy lift vessels to increase its capabilities in the multipurpose, project and heavy lift markets All vessels were taken over from Hansa Heavy Lift. Early in 2019 the Spliethoff Group acquired mv Hudsongracht (HHL Elbe) and mv Humbergracht (HHL Tyne), both abt. 12.750 dwt and a combined crane capacity of 300 mt, as well as mv Heerengracht (HHL Amur) and mv Houtmangracht (HHL Mississippi), both abt. 12.750 dwt and a combined crane capacity of 360 mt.

These vessels were added to Spliethoff's H-Type series, now consisting of five vessels in total. At the same time heavy lift vessel mv Prinsengracht (HHL New York) was acquired.

Within the Spliethoff Group a total of over 70 multipurpose and heavy lift vessels are available for the breakbulk, project and heavy transport markets More recently Spliethoff has taken over an additional five former Hansa Heavy Lift vessels. The P8-Type series, abt. 20,100 dwt, equipped with two holds and cranes with a combined capacity of 800 mt, consists of earlier acquired mv Prinsengracht and one additional vessel, named Pietersgracht (HHL Kobe).

The P14-Type series - abt 19.450 dwt, two holds and a combined crane capacity of 1,400 mt - consists of mv Pijlgracht (HHL Lagos), mv Poolgracht (HHL Fremantle), mv Pauwgracht

(HHL Richards Bay) and mv Paleisgracht (HHL Tokyo). All vessels are or will be reflagged to Dutch flag/register.

Within the Spliethoff Group a total of over 70 multipurpose and heavy lift vessels are available for the breakbulk, project and heavy transport markets. These vessels are operated in close cooperation between worldwide dry cargo specialist Spliethoff and heavy transport operator BigLift Shipping.

MRE Managing Director Eric Briar commented 'We have the capability at our Portland facility to build and/or refurb several vessels at a time; when these vessels were put up for sale we immediately saw the potential and once we strip them both down, totally re-engine and increase the overall length by 3 metres, we will basically own two brand new vessels in just over 8 weeks time”.

8 MPI Cervantes, one of the vessels recently bought by Manor Renewable Energy

Fast turnaround for CTVs Crew Transfer Vessels, the MPI Cervantes and MPI Cardenio have been purchased from Offshore Support Vessels BV for an undisclosed sum by Manor Renewable Energy (MRE) Ltd. Designed and built by South Boats in 2011/ 2012, the 17 metre vessels will be transported from Teesside to Portland, where they will be fully reconditioned.

In 2017 MRE built the Manor Venture, which is one of the largest CTVs currently operating within the offshore renewables market and towards the end of this month they commence on the build of her sister vessel, to be delivered in 2020.

DNV GL additive manufacturing scheme DNV GL has released the first manufacturer approval (AoM) scheme for additive manufacturing producers wishing to supply products that comply with its rules and standards.

As part of the application for AoM, manufacturers must firstly undertake a proof of concept to demonstrate that they have feasible technology and products.

“AM is a technology that holds a great deal of promise for the maritime industry,” said Knut Ørbeck-Nilssen, CEO of DNV GL - Maritime.

“Our responsibility as the world's leading classification society is to give manufacturers a clear path they can take to offer their innovative

products, while ensuring that our customers can have the same confidence in an AM product as they do in any other that has undergone approval by class.”

For manufacturers, the release of the AoM programme could potentially open up new opportunities for both producers and users of these products, creating potential efficiencies in logistics and supplies chains, as well as in on-board maintenance and repair.

DNV GL has been investigating the opportunities and challenges posed by AM since 2014. In 2017, it published the first guideline for the use of AM in the maritime and oil & gas industries.

Earlier this year DNV GL opened the Global Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence in Singapore, an incubator and testbed for the research and development of additive manufacturing technology for the oil & gas, offshore and marine sector.

Additive manufacturing is a term that covers industrial processes that create three dimensional objects by adding layers of material: It includes such technologies as 3D printing, rapid prototyping (RP), direct digital manufacturing (DDM), layered manufacturing and additive fabrication.

PROFILE

CORNELIUS VON DER HEYDT HYDROGENIOUS

Hydrogen as a fuel for support vessels?

“People worry about safety,” said Cornelius von der Heydt of German company Hydrogenious.

However, there is a form “that's even slightly easier to handle than diesel... and it's liquid at room temperature” he told MJ. No cryogenics, no 300bar tank necessary.

The answer, he explained, is binding hydrogen with a chemical - like toluene derivative DBT - by introducing a little pressure and heat. Once locked in, “it's stable for years”, he said. Adding heat again releases it for use: a process that could take place onboard, especially “as you don't need the safety zones necessary for compressed or liquefied hydrogen”. Moreover, after it's used, the DBT can be reclaimed.

It's a neat trick and one that fascinated Von der Heydt who became interested in Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology while working as a consultant for Anglo American, a global mining company interested in backing sustainable solutions. However, big business' loss was innovation's gain: “I soon realised that this could really make a difference.... so, I jumped across,” he said, landing as Hydrogenious' first CCO.

Interestingly, his original employer is still a partner in the venture, alongside Friedrich Alexander University.

The convincer, for him, was potential availability: “We know we need to switch to cleaner fuels - but we keep using diesel because it's there,” he pointed out. However, hydrogen is a rising star: it's can be created by electrolysis and windfarm providers (such as Siemens, Shell, TenneT and others) “are already considering hydrogen output” as a way of evening-out electrical production peaks and troughs.

It takes just one more step to create LOHC. This has a multitude of applications, but in Von der Heydt's view, it could have particular significance for the renewables industry itself.

Given a H2 supply and landside kit to bind it to the carrier, “and it could be used to propel the larger support vessels that serve the wind parks”, he explained.

So, the company has been working on a 2MW to 4MW solution for those with a duty cycle of a few weeks “which couldn't work with traditional liquid or compressed hydrogen as it would take up too much space”. Admittedly, LOHC is not as energy dense as diesel, “but

Hydrogen is a rising star: it’s can be created by electrolysis and windfarm providers (such as Siemens, Shell, TenneT and others) “are already considering hydrogen output” as a way of evening-out electrical production peaks and troughs taking the higher efficiency of fuel cells into account, you arrive at a system that will give you around 1MWh net per m3”, he explained.

The idea is quickly gaining recognition.

According to Von der Heydt, Hydrogenious' energy concepts are already drawing interest “and things are moving pretty fast now”. This January saw the company making the prestigious Cleantech 100 list for a second year running.

While he admitted he “took a risk in stepping away from security” he concluded: “We have to change: I'm in this because I believe LOHC could be a realistic alternative.”

HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEY

MACARTNEY DELIVERS PORTABLE SURVEY SUITE FOR CORSICA MacArtney France recently delivered a portable hydrographic suite, specifically designed for small vessels, to a government organisation of Corsica, France, says Helen Atkinson The CollectivitĂŠ de Corse represents the interests of the community of the Mediterranean island of Corsica, off the south coast of France. The island is an area of outstanding natural beauty and has a unique cultural heritage. Over 40% of the territory is designated as part of the Regional Natural Park of Corsica, which not only protects its natural landscape but also the local population and cultural heritage of the region too.

With 1,000km of coastline, the island attracts many tourists and cruise ships necessitating regular, accurate hydrographic surveys to ensure visiting vessels can securely navigate its harbours and to monitor the seabed to control the quality of dredging, identify obstructions on the seafloor and verify underwater installations such as the quaysides and hexapods in the Corsican harbours.

However, in addition to the data quality, it was also essential that the multibeam echo sounder (MBES) and associated equipment procured for Corsica was sufficiently small, versatile and portable to be transported between the island's many harbours by road. In seeking a solution, MacArtney France worked with partners Kongsberg, Valeport and SBG Systems to ensure that the system not only met the project-specific needs, but also the standards required by International Hydrographic Organization (IHO).

Previously, the CollectivitĂŠ de Corse conducted hydrographic surveys using a single beam echo sounder which resulted in longer survey times and less accurate data. The new bespoke hydrographic suite, comprising a Kongsberg Mesotech M3 sonar, SBG Navsight inertial navigation system, Valeport miniSVS

sound velocity sensor and a 4G modem for receiving RTK corrections, will not only improve survey times and accuracies, but also expand the survey area reach. In this instance the Mesotech M3 sonar will be used in the profiling mode, however, the unit's sonar head can also be freely orientated forwards to activate the imagery mode without further software or license.

As part of the robust integrated solution, MacArtney also supplied a deployment pole, Hypack acquisition and processing software and onsite installation and training.

Unmanned vessels gather 2,000 hours of bathymetry Subcontracted by Meritaito (Finland), 4DOcean (UK) and XOCEAN (Ireland) have successfully completed over 2,000 hours of unmanned bathymetric survey off the coasts of Scotland and England.

Between December 2018 and March 2019, the companies deployed two different unmanned surface vessels (USV) at multiple nearshore locations as part of UK's Lot 2 Civil Hydrography Programme (CHP), administered by the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA). Both vessels operated independently, without a mothership, although 24/7 monitoring and watchkeeping was maintained throughout. The USVs were used to map the shallow uncharted waters, while a manned vessel surveyed the deeper areas. A single survey team collected and processed data from both unmanned vessels.

USV surveys offer significant advantages

including the efficiencies offered by 24/7 operations, enhanced safety afforded by personnel remaining onshore and the environmental benefits of ultra-low emissions which, together, also result in significant economic savings.

World Hydrography Day 2019 The Monaco-based International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) has chosen 'hydrographic information driving marine knowledge' as the theme for this year's World Hydrography Day (WHD).

As in previous years, the theme provides a broad range of opportunities to publicise the work undertaken, and services provided, by

hydrographic offices, industry stakeholders and the scientific community. Adopted by the UN in 2005, and celebrated annually on 21st June, WHD aims to increase public awareness of the vital role of hydrography in everyone's lives.

This year marks the centenary of the first Hydrographic Conference at Trinity House, London. There, just a year after the end of World War I, representatives of 26 countries discussed and agreed upon future technical cooperation in hydrography, paving the way for the establishment of the IHO in 1921.

Topics for discussion at WHD 2019 events across the IHO's 89 Member States may include: the increasing need for marine data for sustainable development of the blue economy, environmental protection and the mitigation of marine disasters and climate change; global significance of the public and private hydrographic sectors; and ongoing efforts to address current deficiencies in seabed mapping through the GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project.

TUGS & TOWING

Z-TECH SUCCESS CONTINUES FOR RAL Robert Allan Ltd has provided details of the recent flurry of orders and deliveries of its successful Z-Tech series of tugs

Credit: RAL

Credit: RAL

Tugs & Towing has been reporting on the flurry of news of this specific design of tug from the Canadian-based naval architect for several months now and the latest details concerns completion of the first of ten Z-Tech 30-80 marques for US principals and a second Z-Tech 6500 built by a Turkish shipyard for Turkish owners.

Mark E. Kuebler is vessel number one of a series of five 3080 class under construction at Gulf Island Shipyards, five of which are on order for Bay Houston Towing Company through its operator, Galveston-based G&H Towing Company.

The Z-Tech 30-80 has evolved from the previous Z-Tech 7500 design for the same owner where the design team and client have addressed operational challenges the vessel will face, a main feature of the design involving incorporating RAL's RAstar sponsoned hull form into the existing Z-Tech design.

Computer simulations estimated escort performance of the new tug would be significantly increased generating 100t steering force at 10 knots.

Principal dimensions include a length overall of 30.02m, beam moulded 13m and depth moulded 5.03m with an ITC gross tonnage of 411t and US Regulatory gross tonnage of 297t.

Mark E. Kuebler meets ABS class rules with the notation +A1 Towing Service, +AMS, Escort Service, Fire Fighting Vessel Class 1 and all applicable US Coast Guard regulations.

Propulsion is provided by two Caterpillar 3516E EPA Tier 4 certified main engines, each rated 3,386bhp at 1,800rpm and driving Schottel SRP 510FP Z-drives with 2,800mm diameter propellers with sea trials achieving a bollard pull ahead of 81.5t and ahead speed13kn. Two Caterpillar C18 engines drive separate FFS 6200gpm fire pumps and the electrical plant consists of two John Deere 6068AFM85 gensets with power outputs of 125eKw 480V, 3-Ph, 60Hz. A comprehensive fender arrangement is included with 36” OD cylindrical fenders at the main deck and 16” thick double loop soft fenders between main deck and knuckle at bow and along the main deck sheer lines along with 16” OD cylindrical fendering at the stern. The master and chief engineer's cabins along with galley and mess are located on the main deck with two double-berth cabins on the lower deck.

Following the successful construction and operation of its first Z-Tech 6500 tug, ICDAS Turkey followed up that success

with the decision to build a second example, the new vessel, bearing the name Kara Yusuf-2, to operate in Canakkale Turkey.

Z-Tech tugs are particularly designed for shiphandling duties with vessels having extreme flares at each end and particulars of this example include: LOA 27.4m, beam moulded 12.2m, depth moulded 5.05m, maximum draught 5.25m and gross tonnage 352t. This example for ICDAS conforms to Class NK rules and carries the notation NS* (CS) (TUG) (IWS)/MNS*.

On this occasion, propulsion is provided by two MTU 16V4000M63 main engines each rated 2,000kw at 1,800rpm driving Rolls-Royce US 205 FP, 2,500mm diameter propeller Zdrives with trial results delivering a bollard pull of 65t ahead and free running speed ahead of 12.5kn. The electrical plant comprises two Deutz BF6M1013M gensets each with a power output of 112eKw 400V, 3-ph, 50Hz Deck machinery includes a DWF 35x130H hydraulic towing winch forward equipped with 200m of 65mm diameter tow line.

An independent anchor windlass is located on the aft deck with a rescue boat and davit provided on the bridge deck.

As with the US-built Mark E. Kuebler, this Turkish Z-Tech example has a particularly well equipped fender arrangement.

At the bow, one tier of 800mm OD shiphandling fendering is provided with 400mm OD cylindrical fendering at main deck level. 480mm x 300mm W-Block fenders are below the cylindrical fender and 300mm x 300mm D-type fenders are provided along the sheer line of the main deck and finally, 400mm OD fendering is used at the stern.

Kara Yusuf-2 has been designed to the highest standard of outfitting, a hallmark of RAL-designed vessels and has accommodation for a normal operating crew of six, similar to the aforementioned US-built example with two officer's cabins along with galley and mess on the main deck and two double cabins located on the lower deck.

8 Both Z-Tech tugs are now in service with ICDAS Turkey

TUGS & TOWING

ENCOURAGING LOCAL TUG CREWS IN SOUTH AFRICA Encouraging young people into the shipping industry is a topic of concern globally which TNPA is addressing head-on with its training of locals with skills to qualify as tug masters where previous success has seen some embark of careers as harbour masters and marine operations managers, qualifications in high demand internationally.

Recently, Port of Ngqura celebrated the intake of seven marine cadets representing a group of ten out of a national group of 31 who recently completed academic and sea-based training before being employed for three years to complete their tug master training. The remaining three are being similarly employed by Port of Richards Bay with 21 cadets still in the process of completing their cadetship ashore and afloat.

An important aspect of the programme for TNPA is “uplifting surrounding communities” with various interventions in place to attract and develop these highly-skilled local people. It begins at previously disadvantaged high schools where bursaries are offered to deserving applicants at adopted schools nationally. The marine career awareness programme includes: media exposure, career exhibitions, visits to schools, allowing learners to visit TNPA ports and partnerships with various stakeholders in the education world.

The seven Port of Ngqura trainees, five male and two female, were initially recruited from schools in the Eastern Cape and have returned home after being away completing academic and sea-based experience elsewhere.

Port of Ngqura tug master Sibusiso Dlamini says: “The Tug Master Trainees are trained to handle and manoeuvre tugboats within port limits and in rare cases they will do coastal voyages

Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) is contributing to the development of local skills for crewing its tugs with its cadet training programme

between ports. The training also includes the managing of crew and ensuring that tug maintenance is done effectively.”

Siphokazi Magetuka, HR manager at Port of Ngqura added: “This initiative is more than just bricks and mortar or the latest technology. None of our strategic plans can succeed without having the appropriate pipeline of maritime skills, knowledge and experience in place. At the heart of this programme is the need to continuously improve the operational efficiency of our ports, to remain globally competitive and in the process lower the cost of doing business, offering our customers quality service.”

8 Seven of the Transnet cadets training to be tug masters in South Africa

Technology group Wärtsilä is evaluating the operational results from its propulsion system installed in two tugs operated by the Turkish Directorate General of Coastal Safety.

The two tugs for the Turkish Directorate General of Coastal Safety, Kurtarma 11 and 12 were built in Eregli under project management by the Yutek Shipyard and its site team. The order for Wärtsilä's element of the project was placed in 2017 and with both vessels now in service on the Bosphorus Strait of Istanbul, all involved have had the opportunity to review the operational results of the pair.

The conventional measure of a tug's pulling power is its bollard pull figure and the results of tests, certified by the Turkish Lloyd classification society have returned a figure of 75 tonnes, a figure described as “outstanding” by Wärtsilä.

The performance was achieved through a

8 Wärtsilä has been able to evaluate performance results from two Turkish tugs

combination of a six cylinder Wärtsilä 26 main engine connected to a Wärtsilä WST-24 steerable thruster controlled by a Pro Touch propulsion remote control system. Wärtsilä state that to achieve 75 tonnes bollard pull an eight cylinder engine would normally be required and that by reaching this level of pulling power with fewer cylinders results in a positive impact on both Capex and Opex costs.

Described as “compact and light” the '26' series of engines have 280mm cylinder bores

resulting in minimal space requirements in the engine room while the WST steerable thruster range offers eight thruster types ranging from 700kW to 3,200kW. The Pro Touch propulsion control system comprises a system of levers and touch screen interfaces available for both newbuilds and retrofits.

Murat Ergen, general manager, sales, Wärtsilä Marine said: “The combination of improved performance with compact equipment is already proving to be a great success for these 32 metre long tug boats.

Wärtsilä is committed through its Smart Marine approach to enabling the highest possible efficiency for owners and operators, and this is one more prime example.”

Wärtsilä’s marine division covers a broad spectrum of vessel types and is a particularly well-known name in the world of tug construction supplying both diesel engines and steerable thrusters.

TOWLINES

8 “It's not about the boats we offer, it's about the crews that operate them” the motto of Carmet Tug Company as it celebrates 30 years on the Manchester Ship Canal.

Carmet's original founder was approached by the MSC harbour master about providing towage services on the canal and despite initial apprehensions the service was eventually established. It is a testament to the familyowned company's resilience that the venture is successful in maintaining ageing vessels to a high standard and is currently in talks with Peel Ports about adding another 15 years life into the fleet. This would include major overhauls for the engines and generators and while admitting it would cost a lot of money Carmet state it will continue to expand and build its reputation.

8 Boskalis has reported an increase in revenue from its Towage & Salvage segments, up from €100.5m in 2017 to €131.7m in 2018.

The two largest contributions to this revenue were the salvage and damaged cargo removal from the container ship Maersk Honam and oil removal from the SSL Kolkata. In 2018 the three harbour towage joint ventures were adversely affected by increased competition and pricing pressure, in particular resultant of the consolidation trend in the container

shipping industry, developments that led to a “critical evaluation” of the book value of these joint ventures.

TUGS & TOWING

GHANAIAN ORDER FOR TURKISH TUG BUILDER On the back of the growth and subsequent expansion, Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority has entered into an agreement with the Turkish TOR Group of Companies for the construction of three new tugs to meet the increase in demand. TOR Group has in turn contracted Robert Allan Ltd for the design of the tugs which will be RAstar 3300 class vessels.

The trio are scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2019 and with a LOA of 32.8m, beam of 12.9m and a depth of 5.37m will be substantial vessels by any measure. Cummins will provide the main engines in the form of a pair of QSK 95 variants, in turn driving Rolls-Royce US2555 P30 FP azimuth thrusters. The drives will have 2,800mm diameter propellers in nozzles and the power combination is designed to provide a bollard pull of 80t or greater and speeds up to 13kn.

The V-16-cylinder, 95-litre main engines will each develop 3,600bhp (2,685kW) at 1,700rpm, were introduced by Cummins several years ago and they have found acceptance in highspeed applications such as catamaran crew boats and fast ferries and were subsequently found also to be well suited for powering shiphandling tugs.

Cummins will also supply three auxiliary engines, a QSK38M 1,595bhp (1,190kW) engine will power the fire pump to meet fifi1 standards including water spray. The ships' electrical supply will be via a pair of Cummins QSB7DM-powered gensets on each tug producing 170Kw, 136kWe, 50Hz at 1,500rpm.

A dramatic increase in traffic in the Ghanaian ports of Tema and Takoradi has led to port expansion projects and in turn the requirement for additional shiphandling tugs

Towing arrangements will include a Rolls-Royce hawser winch forward and a Mampaey quick-release hook aft for occasional conventional towing jobs and the tugs will be classed by BV for unrestricted navigation.

A recent report by the Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority recorded a 13 percent increase in total cargo traffic for both ports (Tema and Takoradi) registering 22,086,626 tonnes in 2017 compared to 19,459,834 tonnes in 2016 along with a 32 percent increase in transit cargo. Container traffic for both ports increased from 942,463teu in 2016 to 1,009,755teu in 2017 registering a seven percent increase.

8 Traffic increases in Ghanaian ports has led to orders for three new tugs

The longstanding cooperation between Schottel and McAllister Towing continues with an order for two propulsion units for a newbuild escort and harbour tug.

The order for the German Schottel Group involves two SRP 490 Rudderpropellers for American tug operator McAllister Towing to power a new escort and harbour tug being built by Washburn & Doughty in Maine USA. The Rudderpropellers will each be provided with an input power of 2,525kW from Caterpillar 3516 engines operating at 1,800rpm and delivering an expected bollard pull of around 82 tons and speed of over 14kn. The thrusters will have fixed-pitch propellers 2,800mm in diameter and the standard range includes Schottel ProAnode enhancing corrosion protection, Schottel HTG (High Torque Gear) technology and high performance nozzles.

Schottel's Rudderpropellers including the SRP 490 and SRP 460 models have a maximum power rating for tug duties of between 2,350kW and 2,550kW per engine and are among the company's azimuth

20 | MAY 2019

thrusters that have undergone several technical updates to offer state-of-the-art design, construction and economical operation. The SRP 460, formerly SRP 1515 was first delivered in 1999 and has been continuously updated for two decades making them suitable for the 80 ton bollard pull class of tug, an indication of the gradual increase in power of modern harbour and escort tugs.

The new tug extends further the longstanding relationship between McAllister Towing and Schottel dating back 30 years when McAllister became Schottel's first customer in the US since when more than 70 azimuth thrusters have been delivered to McAllister.

Captain Steven J. Kress, vice president operations at McAllister Towing said: “Schottel, with its experience and customized solutions, not only meets but often exceeds the requirements in today's modern maritime industry. Besides highly efficient products, Schottel's competent advice and good service make the propulsion experts a reliable partner when it comes to providing our vessels with the best propulsion efficiency at all times.�

MARINE RENEWABLES EXTRA

DUAL SUB COMBINES WIND AND WAVES A Swansea, UK-based wave energy company has unveiled plans to combine a floating wave energy device to make it suitable as a base for a floating wind generator Wave energy technology developer Marine Power Systems (MPS) has revealed its plans for expansion into the floating offshore wind sector with two devices that offer a viable solution to wind energy generation in deep water locations.

Established over 10 years ago, MPS is in the final stages of development for its wave energy device, WaveSub which is a device designed to addresses the challenges of wave energy generation at sea.

WaveSub's stability in deep ocean water prompted MPS to explore its suitability for use as a platform for wind turbines, particularly in locations where wind speeds are high but water depths make a fixed base turbine too costly to install. Initial tests revealed that WaveSub offered a strong, stable platform on which a turbine could be installed, enabling the simultaneous capture of wave and wind energy from the ocean.

Essentially the WaveSub can be adapted to be a floating wind turbine and wave energy device in one.

As we moved into the final stages of development for our WaveSub wave energy generation device, it became apparent that many of its features make it well suited to the needs of the floating offshore wind sector Following further research and development MPS has developed two new devices, DualSub that captures both wave and wind energy, and WindSub that captures wind energy only.

These devices have successfully completed prototype stability tests, detailed computational simulation and cost of energy modeling. Positive results have led MPS to accelerate the development of WindSub and DualSub to a scaled up prototype to bring them to the point of market readiness.

“As we moved into the final stages of development for our

22 | MAY 2019

WaveSub wave energy generation device, it became apparent that many of its features make it well suited to the needs of the floating offshore wind sector”, commented Dr Graham Foster, the Chief Technology Officer at Marine Power Systems. “With extensive testing and computational modelling complete, we're confident that our wind energy offerings, DualSub and WindSub can offer a market leading solution to the challenges of wind energy generation in deep water. This is a hugely exciting time for MPS and we look forward to further developing our offshore wind technologies alongside our WaveSub device during 2019.”

The device is based on a tubular steel lattice structure that is kept afloat by floatation chambers and which is moored in position by means of a tension leg system similar to that used in the offshore oil and gas industry. In the wave generating mode this lattice structure supports the wave generating capsules which float under the surface. The lattice structure has been strengthened to support the lattice tower that is turn supports the wind turbine pylon and the wind generator. The WaveSub captures the wave energy through the oscillating movement of floatation devices that are located below the surface allowing the oscillations to turn the turbines. With most of the structure below the sea surface it is less liable to damage by extreme seas.

The UK currently generates 8% of its electricity from offshore wind with around 70% of the offshore wind farms located along the East Coast of the UK where the seas are shallower and fixed base turbines are easily installed. DualSub and WindSub will undoubtedly open new areas of coastline in the UK where wind speeds are higher but water depth is greater and the installation of fixed base wind turbines are deemed prohibitively expensive.

Having been successfully tested at quarter scale, and now under development at full scale, MPS's WaveSub device has been financed through a mixture of public and private investment including WEFO (European Regional Development Funds) and Innovate UK.

AiP FOR WIND TURBINE SHUTTLE DNV GL has presented China Merchants Heavy Industry (CMHI) with an Approval in Principle (AiP) certificate for a wind turbine shuttle (WTS) developed to install offshore wind turbines (OWT) at wind farms.

The certificate confirms that DNV GL has assessed the design according to class rules and found no significant obstacles exist to prevent the concept from being realised.

“CMHI and DNV GL have been partners in strategic cooperation for many years. Together, we both aim to not only set industry standards in ship and offshore unit designs, but contribute to safer and more environmental-friendly operation,” said Norbert Kray, DNV GL's regional manager Greater China.

SWATH DESIGN Unlike other installation vessels, the WTS has a small waterplane area twin hull (SWATH) design. This results in very low resistance at the design draught (16m) and excellent seakeeping performance, good motion behaviour characteristics, and high transit speed of 14 knots, said DNV GL.

assembled wind turbines or two wind turbine foundations at a time, the vessel has a highly redundant dynamic positioning system installed and the wind turbine hoist tackles are equipped with an active system to compensate for the heave motion of the vessel.

The WTS can provide a "one-piece" installation service for OWT, as well as jacket foundations, piles, and other components, added DNV GL.

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) is leading a new panEuropean project, Ocean Power Innovation Network (OPIN), which aims to accelerate the development of the ocean energy sector.

With a three year budget of €2.6 million, SEAI will partner with organisations in the UK, Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands to explore ways to unlock the potential of this renewable energy resource.

Commenting on the launch, Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Richard Bruton, T.D. said: “Projects like OPIN that enable European collaboration are critical to us unlocking opportunities to advance the development of our ocean energy sector.”

HVAC REPAIR AGREEMENT TenneT has awarded a framework agreement to Jan De Nul Group for repairs of TenneT's offshore high-voltage cables in the German Bight.

TenneT's mission is to ensure a reliable and uninterrupted supply of electricity in its high-voltage grid and therefore, Jan De Nul Group has been appointed by the leading European electricity transmission system operator to mobilize in the event of high-voltage cable system faults or failures within the contractual period.

Jan De Nul Group has already initiated the preparatory engineering works required to perform the cable repairs. In the event of a HV cable system fault or failure, Jan De Nul will immediately mobilize one of its offshore cable laying vessels, either Isaac Newton or Willem de Vlamingh The scope entails repairs of all TenneT's existing HVAC cable systems connecting individual wind farms to the offshore convertor stations or directly to the onshore grid, as well as repairs of all TenneT's HVDC cable systems connecting the offshore convertor stations to A new single point mooring system platform for floating wind turbines that features many unique properties has received funding from the EU Commission Horizon 2020 writes Dag Pike.

The PivotBuoy is a consortium of nine partners which is led by X1 Wind who plan to deploy a prototype of their PivotBuoy at a test site at the Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands (PLOCAN). The consortium will integrate a part-scale prototype of the PivotBuoy into a downwind floating wind platform designed by X1 Wind at the test site.

A spokesperson for X1 Wind said, “The plans are to have the system installed by 2020, and to have other innovations relating to the assembly and installation which will also be validated. The project will officially start on 1 April and will last for 36 months.”

The PivotBuoy is a unique mooring system that allows a 'platform attached to it to 'weather vane', thus maintaining the position of the turbine in relation to the wind direction. This keeps the turbine blades in position downwind and removes the need for a rotating turbine mounting. The turbine itself is mounted on a triangular lattice structure. Once proven, the technology claims to be able to reduce platform weight by as much as 80 per cent and

the onshore grid. In addition, any future connections commissioned within the duration of the agreement will be added to Jan De Nul's scope. The contract covers a period of 24 months with two optional extensions of 12 months each.

Jan De Nul Group has already initiated the preparatory engineering works required to perform the cable repairs. In the event of a HV cable system fault or failure, Jan De Nul will immediately mobilize one of its offshore cable laying vessels, either Isaac Newton or Willem de Vlamingh.

In 2018, the Willem de Vlamingh installed HV cables to connect the Trianel Windpark Borkum and Borkum Riffgrund II wind farms to TenneT's DolWin Gamma and Alpha offshore convertor stations. These cables are also subject to this framework agreement.

8 Jan De Nul's cable laying vessel Willem de Vlamingh

Jan De Nul Group has executed several cable installation projects in Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, Iceland, Egypt, Canada, Mexico, Russia, Taiwan and in the Middle East. In addition, Jan De Nul has installed multiple cable joints over the past years, including the cable joints for an urgent cable repair in 2017 in Iceland by means of the Isaac Newton.

Wouter Vermeersch, Manager Offshore Cables at Jan De Nul Group: “We are delighted for Jan De Nul Group to be selected as the cable repair contractor for TenneT's HV cable system. This agreement continues our trusted relationship with TenneT and furthers Jan De Nul's position as a reliable and experienced cable installation contractor.”

PIVOTBUOY FLOATER FUNDING SECURED The plans are to have the system installed by 2020, and to have other innovations relating to the assembly and installation which will also be validated. The project will officially start on 1 April and will last for 36 months

costs by 50 per cent, savings that should help make floating wind competitive.

The project aims to validate the benefits of the PivotBuoy system and other key innovations to reduce installation, operation and maintenance costs, paving the path to achieve €50/MWh in commercial-scale wind farms.

First backed by EIT InnoEnergy, Europe's sustainable energy innovation engine, the platform can operate at an increased water depth, compared to other floating solutions,

opening up hundreds of sites, which were previously technically or commercially inaccessible, according to X1 Wind. The system is said to combine advantages of Single Point Mooring systems (SPM) with those of TensionLeg Platform systems (TLP) and a more efficient downwind structural design, enabling a radical weight reduction in floating wind structures compared to current spar and semisubmersible systems.

Alex Raventos, the CEO at X1 Wind, commented “In the last decade, a number of prototypes have successfully proven floating wind is technically feasible, but costs need to be reduced by at least 50%.”

VESSEL LAUNCH

TEN-MONTH TURNAROUND FOR CATAMARAN FERRY UK shipbuilder Wight Shipyard Co has worked to a tight deadline to complete its third and largest vessel for MBNA Thames Clippers, the first Hunt Class Mk3

8 External vinyl wrapping by Indigo Graphics was chosen instead of paint because it is so much lighter

The 38m Venus Clipper has been built to a ten-month build schedule and is reflective of the increased business the yard has previously predicted in the fast ferry sector.

Peter Morton, CEO, Wight Shipyard, said: "One of the most important elements that strengthens this sector is that it is cushioned against the effects of the 2020 low sulphur cap and is actually in a better position than the conventional ferry market.� “This is because it does not have to worry about finding the increased capex to fit scrubbers or face a huge surge in costs by changing to low sulphur fuel, as fast ferries already run on low sulphur fuel. When fuel costs go up for conventional ferries for low sulphur fuel post 2020, fast ferries will be in a much more competitive position."

THE BUILD MBNA Thames Clippers had some very particular requirements for its latest newbuild. Importantly, the new Clipper had to be able to transport passengers between numerous floating piers at a speed not less than 25 knots at full load draft. The vessel's catamaran hullform uses twin symmetric hulls and has been designed by Australia's One2three Naval Architects. Its hull structure is designed for frequent and repeated berthing at London's floating piers with particular attention paid to potential contact with obstructions in the water and harsh weather conditions.

Venus Clipper is classed by Class Lloyds Register / DNVGL and obtains the notation DNVGL +1A1 HSLC Passenger R4 HSC (A) EO meeting the delegated survey requirements for capacity and seating for a minimum of 220 passengers, with space for two wheelchairs.

The two main diesel engines are Scania DI16 077Ms, fitted one to each machinery space, rated to 662kW (900hp) @ 2300rpm. They are of the four-stroke water cooled type, turbocharged and with charge air cooling. With regards to propulsion, the vessel is equipped with two Rolls Royce/Kamewa 40A3 waterjets fitted to each hull. The waterjet system comprises RR/Kamewa proprietary control and monitoring system complete with docking joystick and backup controls. To complete the power and propulsion system, there

26 | MAY 2019

are two ZF2000 series reversing marine gearboxes fitted, directly coupled to the main engines.

Arrangement of the wheelhouse is in accordance with Survey Requirements having all round vision for safe navigation in confined waters and frequent berthing. The outfit includes forward control and monitoring console incorporating all engine and waterjet controls, alarms and navigation equipment, monitoring panel and electrical panels.

External vinyl wrapping by Indigo Graphics was chosen instead of paint because it is so much lighter.

With a high emphasis on safety, the vessel is equipped with two Zodiac 151-person open reversible life rafts, fitted in forward position with two RFD Ferryman 30 and 85 person open reversible life rafts in aft position. Both yard and operator had to complete a safety evacuation test as a standard requirement for a first in class vessel. The drill required at least 110 passengers safely disembarked onto lift rafts within 17 minutes, which it passed with flying colours achieving evacuation in just 12.

Wight Shipyards is thankful to its neighbours Aluminium Marine Consultants for its support with the build.

Wight Shipyard completed its first two vessels for MBNA Thames Clippers back in August 2017, the 35 metre low wash catamarans Mercury Clipper and Jupiter Clipper. At the time the builds were announced in October 2016, it was the largest fast passenger ferry order for a UK shipyard in over 25 years.

All the new vessels have been designed and built to accommodate the unique tidal conditions of the River Thames, allowing them to navigate its shallow reaches and pass under London's famous but sometimes low bridges. The role of the vessels is to provide rapid passenger transport services on the River Thames in Central London on various routes ranging from Putney in the west to Royal Woolwich Arsenal in the east.

MBNA Thames Clippers now has the largest fast commercial passenger fleet operating solely in English waters.

The River Bus service, which operates seven days per week for up to 20 hours per day, saw 4.2 million passenger numbers in 2018 and conducted over 568,000 berthings for its scheduled services alone.

SEAWORK DEBUT FOR BAUDOUIN 12M26.3 WITH SCR The IMO III compliant 12M26.3 engine from Moteurs Baudouin will be shown for the first time at Seawork International 2019 The heavy duty, four stroke electronic diesel is the most compact and competitively priced of equivalent IMO III EPA IV standard engines. This is due to its modular design and integrated Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, which gives operators greater flexibility in installing the engine to the boat.

The redesigned 12M26.3 with SCR provides a cleaner, quieter engine with superior fuel economy and no loss of power; it also offers low speed torque for better manoeuvrability and increased acceleration, while an up to 2% reduction in fuel consumption delivers an extended range of between 2800 and 4700 nm. The M26.3 with SCR electronic range is available in power settings from 331kW (450hp) to1214 kW (1650hp).

In the M26.3 range Baudouin has addressed the challenges posed by the latest IMO and EPA standards to achieve cleaner shipping by delivering a practical, affordable and fully compliant propulsion system “In the M26.3 range Baudouin has addressed the challenges posed by the latest IMO and EPA standards to achieve cleaner shipping by delivering a practical, affordable and fully compliant propulsion system”, said Neil Taylor, Head of Sales for Proteum, the UK & Ireland distributor for Moteurs Baudouin.

The UN's International Maritime Organisation's Tier III of the IMO NOx regulations aims to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx) by approximately 70 per cent compared with Tier II. On January 1 2016 IMO Tier III came into force impacting every new vessel over 500 gross tonnes and with engines more than 130kW. These regulations apply to vessels in North America,

SAFETY, SURVIVAL & TRAINING

PROPULSION SOLUTION FOR FIRST ELECTRIC FREEFALL LIFEBOAT Torqeedo has provided the integrated propulsion system for the world's first electric-powered freefall lifeboat, which is being built by the Dutch builder Verhoef The vessel recently passed its final drop tests, making it the first fully functional electric lifeboat in the world.

Verhoef and Torqeedo engineers have developed and tested a fully integrated emission-free propulsion system consisting of a 50kW, 80 horsepower-equivalent, Deep Blue inboard electric motor powered by three 30.5kWh Deep Blue batteries with technology by BMW i. The rugged system is designed to withstand the heavy g forces of freefall launch and provide 30 minutes at full speed, followed by 10 additional hours at 50 percent of maximum speed. The electric system also includes an inverter to drive a water spray pump, which is a requirement in case the craft drives through burning oil on the water's surface.

One of the primary motivations behind the switch to electric power is to reduce the high maintenance costs of diesel engines currently in use, according to Verhoef. Experience has shown that diesel lifeboat engines require a great deal of ongoing maintenance and repairs. Soot accumulation in the seldom-run engines can cause internal damage and negatively affect the performance and reliability of the evacuation system.

Electric propulsion also eliminates the need to transport, store and handle diesel fuel.

Verhoef estimates that the electric propulsion system will reduce operating costs by about 90 to 95 percent compared to combustion-powered lifeboats. The built-in connectivity function will enable remote monitoring of the condition of the electric system from shore. The system also comes with a nineyear battery capacity warranty.

Verhoef CEO Martin Verhoef commented: “This is what the industry has been waiting for to reduce their OPEX and carbon footprint. We are convinced that electric propulsion will be the

wave of the future for lifeboat technology. While we are focusing initially on applications like oil platforms, which have shorter distances to travel to reach shore, we believe this technology will also ultimately transform the shipping and cruise industry as well.”

The first of the new Verhoef aluminium 32-passenger lifeboats will be deployed on an offshore platform in the new Valhall Flank West oilfield project in Norway. The contract includes an option for similar lifeboats in the future.

A new, state-of-the-art, purpose built maritime simulation centre is being constructed near Portsmouth, UK for launch this July.

The centre is an expansion of the Maritime Skills Academy's (MSA) training portfolio serving the Solent region, and is designed to meet the specific simulation training requirements of cruise, ferry and superyacht clients. MSA Solent is part of the Viking Maritime Group, headquartered in Dover, England.

The software being used for the simulation suite has been developed by Transas, a Wärtsilä company, who will also provide technical and maintenance support to the project. The order with Wärtsilä was booked in March 2019.

The new facility will be uniquely positioned to service the needs of its targeted clients. It

will be the world's only commercial training centre to have a fully integrated Wärtsilä Nacos Platinum system within the full mission bridge simulator and associated course provision.

Wärtsilä will also deliver the software solutions for a full mission engine room simulator with a customised cruise ship model and various other training aids.

“Collaboration with partners and customers is central to realising Wärtsilä's Smart Marine vision, and this is a classic example of how it can work to serve the needs of the industry. Thanks to our joint collaboration efforts, this centre will deliver exceptional training possibilities through the use of our solutions. This also supports the very modern and popular “as-a-service” concept” says Alex Ponomarev, Sales Expert for Wärtsilä Voyage Simulation and Training.

Prior to the centre's implementation phase, the desired simulation specifications were

SOLAS 360 TESTING AND OVERHAUL PROGRAMME GATHERS PACE Maritime safety equipment supplier and Seawork exhibitor Survitec has registered increased interest in its SOLAS 360 service in the run up to the entry-into-force of amendments to SOLAS The SOLAS 360 service, launched last year to ease the operational burden of ship operators by keeping vessels' regulatory compliant, is gaining traction as the industry gears up to meet the revised rules governing the frequency of safety and survival equipment maintenance.

IMO Resolutions MSC.402(96), MSC.404(96) and MSC.409(97) were adopted in 2016 and will become mandatory on the 1st January 2020. MSC 402(96) is particularly important as it revises the requirements for maintenance, thorough examination, operational testing, overhaul and repair of lifeboats and rescue boats, launching appliances and release gear.

The revision to SOLAS permits authorised multi-brand service providers to carry out the work, reducing the number of suppliers and simplifying training and service regimes.

Robert Wallace, Global Technical Sales Manager, Survitec, said: “We launched our SOLAS 360 concept in September last year very much with the regulatory revisions in mind. The concept completely covers an operator's safety equipment needs, from procurement, servicing and replacement, while reducing risks and optimising service costs. SOLAS 360 aims to reduce the operational challenges that shipowners and crews face in meeting the new requirements.�

The benefit of SOLAS 360 in helping operators meet the revised rules is that the concept maps out a full inventory of a ship's safety equipment and then manages the due dates for servicing and inspections, alerting the ship's master and operator at 90, 60 and 30-day intervals in the run up to the deadline.

Survitec then ensures that equipment is maintained, serviced, inspected and certified. The company can also replace liferafts, which have lengthy servicing times, with newly-overhauled and refurbished rafts.

As a fixed rate is agreed at the outset, depending on the scope of equipment, Survitec offers price predictability through SOLAS 360. Typically, ship managers source suppliers at the

port, compare prices, travel charges, spare part costs etc and coordinate inspections. Survitec's SOLAS 360 removes this complexity and uncertainty.

Each year, accidents and work-related illnesses cost billions of euros in needless business expenses, and according to specialist Hogan Assessments the best way to combat this is at the recruitment stage.

In 2017, Europe lost more than €476 billion an amazing 3.3 % of the European Union GDP. That figure can be reduced with better occupational safety and health strategies, policies, and practices.

According to Dr Robert Hogan, the easiest way for companies to reduce these costs is to assess and predict potential candidates' likely workplace safety behaviour during the recruitment process. In traditional job interviews, candidates present the best versions of themselves, and this may not accurately portray their day-to-day behaviour. In safety conscious industries, such as the commercial marine industry, being able to evaluate and predict a candidate's safety behaviour is crucial.

Hogan Assessments has been developing

selection solutions for companies worldwide since the early 1970s. Hogan provides different assessments for different business needs; organisations wanting to recruit safety-minded staff will benefit hugely from the company's Safety Assessment. The associated Safety Report evaluates candidates' suitability for employment in safety-critical work environments.

The Hogan Safety Assessment aims to

improve workers' safety awareness and behaviour by scoring applicants on six components of safety-related behaviour.

Safety conscious individuals are compliant, resilient, cheerful, vigilant, cautious, and trainable. Individuals who are safety risks are defiant, panicky, irritable, distractable, reckless, and arrogant. The Safety score predicts the likelihood that an applicant will engage in certain behaviours that tend to make accidents more likely.

Dr Robert Hogan, President of Hogan Assessments, said: “Without the proper workplace safety culture, a company puts its employees and revenues in danger. The Hogan reports allow organisations to identify safetyminded candidates and recognise and repair safety-related gaps in the company culture. As a result, the assessment saves clients time and unnecessary costs while making the workplace a safer environment for everyone.”

Hogan has assessed more than 40,000 people across Europe specifically with a focus on safety-related behaviours.

STABILITY MONITORING SYSTEM ON TRIAL For boats that work at sea loading and discharging cargoes or equipment, the changing weights on board can affect the stability of the vessel and hence introduce the risk of a capsize notes Dag Pike.

Fishing boats are at particular risk because not only are they adding weight but there is the pull on the gear being towed to consider. There has long been a need for a system to not only indicate when a vessel has reduced stability but also to give the crew some warning.

British company Hook Marine has been working on a solution for many years and has now got to the stage of conducting sea trials on its SeaWise stability monitor. This equipment has been developed to continuously measure the roll period of a vessel during operations.

Changes in the roll period are indicative in changes in the vessel's stability but it has not been easy to find the right solution.

Movements of the vessel due to the sea state have to be filtered out and there have been other factors that have to be considered to get valid readings. Ken Smith of Hook Marine commented, “We are now at the end of the development stage and it is undergoing final

sea trials and we are looking for interested skippers to participate in these.”

The SeaWise unit aims to provide a continuous measurement of the metacentric height of the vessel when it is at sea. The metacentric height is the distance between

MOTORSHIP MOTOR SHIP

the centre of gravity and the centre of buoyancy of the vessel and both can change when cargo is loaded or unloaded at sea. With a high metacentric height, the vessel will be very stiff and hence stable with a quick rolling period. When the metacentric height is low the vessel will have reduced stability and have a slow rolling period and it is when this occurs that the vessel can be nearing capsize. So measurements of the changing rolling period can provide an indication of the vessel's stability.

The SeaWise unit comprises a compact box that is attached to the vessel and this is hard wired to a display unit that would normally be pilothouse mounted. This display shows the stability situation graphically and can sound alarms.

COASTLINK CONFERENCE

A STRONGER FUTURE FOR SHORT SEA SHIPPING As shipping gets smarter and more sustainable, the Coastlink conference addresses how short sea and container feeder shipping can best secure a stronger future The changing European logistics landscape, managing transport procurement and service, and the impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) will be the focus of the 2019 Coastlink conference, which aims to offer diverse insights into the challenges and opportunities that these issues bring.

2019 is the first year the conference will be delivered by its new owner, Maritime Journal’s publisher, Mercator Media Ltd and will take place on 12-13 June in Southampton, UK, alongside commercial marine exhibition Seawork International on 11-13 June.

Andrew Webster, CEO of Mercator Media, says: “Mercator is a great, new home for the Coastlink Network events.

“It fits very well with what we do and complements our magazines that overlap this marketplace; Maritime Journal, The Motorship and Port Strategy as well as our events, GreenPort Congress, Propulsion & Future Fuels and the wellknown commercial marine exhibition, Seawork.”

COMPETITIVE SUPPLY CHAIN The conference was originally formed to create a neutral panEuropean network dedicated to the promotion of the short sea and container feeder shipping sector and help create a more competitive supply chain. As the port sector is a key stakeholder in this chain, Clive Thomas, head of commercial & property at ABP Southampton, will deliver the Coastlink welcome address.

Session one of the conference’s first day will look at adapting to the changing economic demands for transportation in Europe’s logistics landscape. As part of this session, delegates will learn about the strategic importance of short sea shipping in the Port of Antwerp from Justin Atkin, the port’s UK and Ireland representative. His talk will focus on Brexit as a catalyst to the re-engineering of supply chains and the modal shift it could create from accompanied trailers to containers.

This session will also look at the challenges around the European road haulage industry and the global shortage of staff in logistics.

The 2019 Coastlink conference will focus on logistics, procurement and China’s Belt and Road Initiative COST-EFFECTIVENESS Session two of the conference’s first day will consider how to manage transport procurement and service, looking at the best cost and delivery solutions, while reducing the environmental footprint of operations.

Improving efficiency is a continuing priority for ports as well as other industry stakeholders, and panellists for this session will include Richard Ballantyne, chief executive of the British Ports Association (BPA) and Alex Veitch, head of multimodal policy at the Freight Transport Association (FTA).

Andrew Ellis from DP-World owned Unifeeder UK will be delivering the keynote talk for session two. Unifeeder provide the largest feeder and shortsea network in Europe, while sister

38 | MAY 2019

company Unimed Feeder Services is a leading feeder operator in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. On the agenda for session three on day two of the conference is the BRI and how Chinese initiatives and investments are influencing European short sea shipping.

The session will be moderated by Nick Lambert, director of NLA Ltd, while joining the panel discussion will be Mark Hamson, international trade adviser at the UK government’s Department for International Trade.

As part of the session, Krzysztof Zalewski, marketing & international relations specialist at the Port of Gdansk will offer his insight into China’s growing business in Europe through the BRI.

NEW PORT TARGETS A SUSTAINABLE ARCTIC The development of a new Icelandic port that could enable sustainable development of the Arctic and help to make emergent shipping routes safer is set to offer multiple natural benefits

Bremenports recently partnered with Icelandic companies to sign an MoU which will enable the formation of the Finnafjord Port Development Company (FFPD). bremenports will initially hold a 66% share in FFPD, while EFLA will have a 26% share and the remaining 8% will be held by the Icelandic municipalities CHANGES AHEAD The Arctic is expected to undergo considerable changes, amongst other things because of the changes to shipping routes. If the North-East Passage between Asia and the USA becomes navigable all year round, the journey times between these continents will be reduced by more than two weeks.

Finnafjord would therefore be the ideal location for a basic hub for a universal port, from which containers could be redistributed to the different destination regions.

In addition to the ample hinterland, other benefits of the planned port site include space for the construction of 6km of

One of the key drivers for the project at Finnafjord, in the north-east of Iceland, is the potential for creating new prospects for the local population because of the industrial uncertainties that climate change brings. Although full implementation of the project could take more than 40 years, the proposed site offers several environmental benefits including more than 1200 hectares of flat hinterland on which to develop port-related industries which can be supplied with energy from local renewable energy sources.

Robert Howe, managing director of bremenports, which has a majority share in the project, stated: “Climate change will lead to economic development in this region. It is of global importance that this development is based on very strict sustainability criterias.”

quays and a water depth of 20m. The remote location also means that the greater part of the required building materials can be extracted directly from the ground.

Currently under consideration is the construction of a plant to produce hydrogen, which could also play a key role in the development of sustainable shipping in the future.

Safeguarding and upgrading the local social infrastructure is also a priority.

Port of Rotterdam to partner on green hydrogen study BP, Nouryon (formerly AkzoNobel Specialty Chemicals), and the Port of Rotterdam have joined forces to explore the opportunity of making “green hydrogen” via water electrolysis for BP's refinery in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, which has the potential for significant reductions in CO2 emissions.

The refinery currently uses hydrogen made from hydrocarbons, to desulphurize products. Replacing this entirely with green hydrogen produced from water using renewable energy could potentially result in a reduction of 350,000 tonnes of CO2

emissions per year based on current circumstances.

The parties have signed a memorandum of understanding to study the feasibility of a 250-megawatt water electrolysis facility to produce up to 45,000 tonnes of green hydrogen yearly using renewable energy. It would be the largest of its kind in Europe.

The Port of Rotterdam would facilitate local infrastructure and investigate options for further development of a green hydrogen hub in the area. The partners intend to take a final investment decision on the project in 2022.

PORT, HARBOUR & MARINE CONSTRUCTION

DREDGED EASTERN CHANNEL OPENS IN COWES HARBOUR Cowes Harbour Commission (CHC) on the Isle of Wight, UK has opened a new, dredged, Eastern Channel Cowes Harbour is a Trust Port, designated and recognised by the Department for Transport, and as such, these dredging works are considered a stakeholder dividend project under the Government's guidance.

The dredging works to construct the Eastern Channel were commenced in January 2019 by CHC's contractor Jenkins Marine, and the project completed on time and as planned, before the close of the MMO (Marine Management Organisation) consented window that ran to the end of March. The dredging could only be done over the winter due to the presence of eel grass beds off East Cowes.

Capt. Stuart McIntosh, Cowes Harbour Master, said: “I am very pleased to declare the new Eastern Channel open for harbour users. The dredged Eastern Channel provides a more direct, all tide route to the Solent than the previous Small Craft Channel, and allows smaller vessels safe access to and egress from Cowes Harbour, reducing potential conflict with the ferry and commercial traffic movements. Our contractor Jenkins Marine has impressed with their performance throughout the project, and we thank them for their assistance in the successful delivery of the dredging works.”

Small craft, up to 20m in length, approaching from or departing to the north or east can now use the Cowes Harbour Eastern Channel and avoid the busy main harbour entrance, thereby de-conflicting small craft from the larger commercial vessels. The 35 metre wide Eastern Channel is dredged to 2.25 metres below chart datum, therefore the minimum depth of water in the Channel is equal to the height of tide plus 2.25 metres. Small craft leaving the Eastern Channel when proceeding into the Inner Fairway should give way to vessels in the Inner Fairway and converge with caution.

All mariners are advised to see Cowes Local Notice to Mariners No. 10 of 2019 - Dredged Eastern Channel, for full details, including buoyage, navigation light characteristics, safety and navigation information.

Cowes Harbour Commission is the statutory harbour authority for Cowes Harbour on the Isle of Wight. The Commission's vision, strategic objectives and guiding policies for the future of Cowes Harbour are set out in the Strategic Plan 2016-2021.

Cowes Harbour is a Trust Port, which means it has no shareholders or other owners, but is managed for the benefit

of its users, or 'stakeholders'. The port is run by an independent Board of Commissioners, appointed through a public selection process, who give their time on a voluntary basis.

Cowes Harbour Commission's main function is to be the Statutory Harbour Authority for Cowes and to undertake commercial marine activities so that it can be self-financing. As the Commission has no shareholders, any surplus funds raised through its activities are reinvested back into the harbour and its facilities, to the benefit of its harbour users, or 'stakeholders'.

PORT, HARBOUR & MARINE CONSTRUCTION

WILHELMSHAVEN HARBOUR PROJECT UNDERWAY The first phase construction has begun on a project to deepen and modernise the Alter Vorhafen in Wilhelmshaven, reports Tom Todd The Alter Vorhafen is in Wilhelmshaven's deep-water outer port area on the Jade Delta and used to be part of the main access to Germany's third largest port. It is now used for island ferry traffic to Helgoland and for port excursions, but when pile-driving in the Alter Vorhafen began this year, Lower Saxony Economics Minister Bernd Althusmann tipped a bigger role for the facility in future.

He said the ports in the coastal north German federal state needed secure and efficient handling infrastructures and that a modernised Alter Vorhafen would help meet those demands. He also drew attention to the important handling possibilities in the Alter Vorhafen for coastal protection and sea rescue operations.

The work on the modernisation of the harbour includes initial deepening of the harbour basin from 4m to 6.7m, the demolition of old structures on the Helgolandkai south side and renovation work on the Wangeroogkai north side of the Alter Vorhafen The work on the modernisation of the harbour includes initial deepening of the harbour basin from 4m to 6.7m, the demolition of old structures on the Helgolandkai south side and renovation work on the Wangeroogkai north side of the Alter Vorhafen.

The Helgolandkai has been only minimally used in recent years because of its condition and this year's initial work will “comprehensively remedy that” at a cost of €5 million up to December, officials declared.

A new wave barrier sheet pile wall is being driven, anchored and back-filled in front of the existing sheet pile wall of about

100m in length. The quayside head will also be built by the end of the year along with steps, railings, access ladders, bollards and berthing and mooring dolphins.

Work on the renovation of the Wangeroogkai opposite is expected to begin before completion of the work on the Helgolandkai side, the officials added. Contractors are the Ludwig Freytag/TAGU Tiefbau group of companies.

Wilhelmshaven Port Manager Mathias Lüdicke said the entire Alter Hafen project including the work on both the Helgolandkai and Wangeroogkai would last about two and a half years. It is reportedly costing a total of about €10 million.

Niedersachsen Ports (NPorts) owns and operates the port of Wilhelmshaven as well as four other seaports, seven island supply ports and three regional ports on the German North Sea coast. It is Germany's largest public seaports operator.

The Port of Milford Haven has completed a series of improvements to its lock gates at the entrance to Milford Marina, enabling a more flexible and faster access arrangement for its marina and dock customers.

Since one of the sets of mitre lock gates sustaining damage during Hurricane Ophelia, the port has been working collaboratively with Royal Haskoning and Pressure Design commissioning them to undertake a detailed study and to design a more modern and robust system. The upgraded operating system has shortened the lock time to five minutes and enabled the lock gates to operate 24/7 with the tide.

SHIP & BOAT BUILDING

INTERMARINE UK GROWS PORTLAND SHIP REPAIR FACILITY Just over a year after relocating to Portland Port in Dorset, the maritime engineering company Intermarine UK has continued to grow Intermarine UK, which is part of the Polish owned Inter Marine Group, took a 20 year lease of its new facilities in the spring of 2018. It also invested about £450,000 in new equipment, including bending machines, welding sets, CNC plasma machines and laser cutters.

These are housed in a 2,400sqm fabrication and welding facility, where operations started in March last year. The company added 20 positions to its payroll at this point and it plans to employ 60 additional staff over the next two years.

Slawomir Kalicki, president of Inter Marine Group, said that the company wants both to offer afloat repair services to shipping at its new location that served as a naval base in the past, plus to work with shipyards around the UK to offer repair, engineering and manufacturing services.

The company’s arrival in Portland Port was welcomed by Richard Drax, MP, who said after a visit to Intermarine UK’s facilities: “A specialist company working in the world of shipping is exactly what we hoped to attract here, bringing with it the promise of skilled jobs and exciting and rewarding careers.”

Intermarine UK’s strategy to seek cooperation with other shipyards has borne fruit as it has worked on the aircraft carriers HMS Prince of Wales, currently under construction in Rosyth in Scotland, and HMS Queen Elizabeth that was commissioned in 2017, which are the largest ships the Royal Navy has ever had Some two months later, in July, Kalicki and Drax visited then Minister for Business and Industry Richard Harrington MP in the House of Commons. “Through our modern Industrial Strategy and National Shipbuilding Strategy, we are working with the sector to attract more investment like this and secure a viable future for UK’s maritime sector,” the minister said after the meeting.

Intermarine UK’s strategy to seek cooperation with other shipyards has borne fruit as it has worked on the aircraft carriers HMS Prince of Wales, currently under construction in Rosyth in Scotland, and HMS Queen Elizabeth that was commissioned in 2017, which are the largest ships the Royal Navy has ever had.

The next step forward followed in late August, when Intermarine UK won a contract worth more than £1million to fabricate more than 10 tons of piping for RRS Sir David Attenborough, an Antarctic research vessel Cammell Laird in Birkenhead is building for the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).

Investment has continued, so that by near the end of 2018, the company had spent £650,000 in new machinery. At the end of November, the company employed Mark Bowden in a new position of production manager, with responsibility for the dayto-day operations of the facilities in Portland Port. He joined the company from A&P Falmouth, where he held the position of procurement manager.

Finally, in early April this year, Intermarine UK appointed the shipping agent Olimpic as its representative in Greece and Cyprus. Kalicki said at the time: “I have known Olimpic’s owner Georgios Orfanos for many years through his Polish operations in the Port of Gdynia and we are confident we can offer ship owners a very strong ship repair and spares package at Intermarine’s base in Portland.”

SECOND E-FLEXER FLOAT OUT

8 Stena Edda just before the water started to fill up the dry dock

Stena Line has achieved another milestone in its fleet investment program with the 'float out' ceremony of the second vessel in its new generation E-Flexer series.

The second vessel will be named Stena Edda and follows the Scandinavian heritage decided for the five new vessels that are being constructed at the Avic Weihai Shipyard in China.

Stena Edda is scheduled to enter service on the Belfast-Liverpool route in spring 2020. This is the second of three new E-Flexer vessels bound for the Irish Sea during 2020 and 2021 and represents a significant multi-million

48 | MAY 2019

investment by Stena Line in the region. The 'float out' ceremony started at 13.18 hrs local Weihai time and at 18.00 Stena Edda floated out of the dock. These timings were chosen especially because 18 is a number of good fortune in China.

Stena Line CEO Niclas Mårtensson said: “It's very exciting to follow the building process and this is another very important milestone in our rolling construction programme. This investment underscores our commitment to our operations on the Irish Sea and our determination to deliver the best possible freight and travel experience for our customers.

This is a very exciting time for our business and I'm proud that as Europe's largest ferry company, Stena Line continues help shape the industry for the next generation of freight and leisure passengers.”

At 215 metres, all three vessels being built for the Irish Sea will be larger than today's standard RoPax vessels and will provide freight capacity of 3,100 lane metres and the space to carry 120 cars and 1,000 passengers and crew. For Belfast - Liverpool capacity will increase by almost 20% compared to today. The next

generation vessel is also well in line with the Stena Line strategic commitment to Sustainability and will be extremely fuel efficient to reduce emissions. They will also feature a digitally enhanced customer experience.

In addition to the three Irish Sea bound EFlexer vessels, Stena Line has also ordered a further two E-Flexer RoPax vessels with a larger design, to be deployed within Stena Line's network in 2022. These larger ships will be 240 meters long with a total freight capacity of 3,600 lane metres, and passenger capacity of 1,200. Stena Lines sister company Stena RoRo is managing all the E-Flexer building projects that are ongoing on Avic Weihai Shipyard.

This is a very exciting time for our business and I’m proud that as Europe’s largest ferry company, Stena Line continues help shape the industry for the next generation of freight and leisure passengers

Seacat Services, has signed a multi-millionpound contract to build a new Chartwell 24 catamaran for deployment in the offshore wind sector.

Seacat Weatherly, designed by Southamptonbased naval architect Chartwell Marine, will be constructed by Isle of Wight firms Diverse Marine and Aluminium Marine Consultants (AMC) in Cowes, providing a boost to the renewable energy supply chain on the South Coast. The contract includes an option for a further vessel, which would see Seacat Weatherly joined by a sister vessel in the Seacat Services fleet.

With unprecedented demand for specialist vessel support as large-scale offshore wind farms are brought online throughout the UK and Europe - and emerging opportunities in international markets such as the USA and Asia the industry has been calling for a new generation of OESV designs that meet the evolving requirements of project development and operation. Capitalising on lessons learnt from the most effective vessels currently in operation, and refining this formula, is an essential requirement as the industry scales up.

Scheduled for completion in March 2020, Seacat Weatherly is set to be the first Chartwell 24 catamaran to enter service. The Chartwell 24

FIRST CHARTWELL 24 FOR OFFSHORE WIND SECTOR

8 One of Windcat Workboats’ existing diesel powered fleet

vessel design has been developed by Chartwell Marine off the back of ten years of offshore wind vessel design and experience, alongside extensive dialogue with high profile stakeholders, including Seacat Services and leading wind farm owners and turbine manufacturers.

For Seacat Services, the vessel - which can accommodate 24 industrial personnel, alongside 4 crew - will directly support its commitment to deliver the highest standards of safety performance, technical availability and

ultimately 'time on turbine' for offshore wind technicians.

Seacat Weatherly will boast one of the largest foredecks on the market, enhancing her cargocarrying capacity, and has been optimised for safety, with designated walkways, handrails and safety sliding rails positioned for safe, repeatable crew transfer. Skippers will benefit from a unique wheelhouse configuration that provides total control and complete visibility during complex logistical and crew transfer operations.

These innovations have been introduced without compromising on vessel performance, with Seacat Weatherly's hull and engine configuration designed to provide superior transit speed and manoeuvrability, alongside high bollard push and frictional holding force - both of which are critical attributes for vessels 'pushing on' to offshore wind turbines and other infrastructure.

Perhaps most significantly, the vessel design will offer high levels of operational familiarity for crews and technicians.

GERMAN RESCUE CRUISER UNDER BUILD Construction is now well underway in Germany on a search and rescue boat for the maritime rescue service DGzRS, writes Tom Todd.

The 28.9m long and 6.2m wide cruiser Hamburg is being built at Fassmer Werft in Berne on the Weser, some 50kms inland from Germany's second biggest universal seaport Bremerhaven. Fassmer Werft and Tamsen Maritim shipyard east in Warnemünde on the German Baltic, are the newbuild and repair yards of choice for the DGzRS. Hamburg, still officially called SK40, will see service out of the German East Frisian island of Borkum from about spring next year and is due

A sister ship to Hamburg – currently tagged SK41 - is currently under construction at Fassmer Werft and is also for delivery in 2020. Its completion will bring to five the number of new 28m Class boats introduced over the past few years to replace 27.5m units from the 1980s

for launch in Hamburg in April 2020. It will replace the 27.5m cruiser Alfried Krupp, which was built by Lürssen and has served for 30 years.

Hamburg will also be the first DGzRS boat to carry that name for 35 years and only the fourth in the 150 year history of the DGzRS. The reason for revealing the name early is to thank

Hamburg - Germany's biggest port city - for its support and to encourage further help.

A sister ship to Hamburg - currently tagged SK41 - is currently under construction at Fassmer Werft and is also for delivery in 2020.

Its completion will bring to five the number of new 28m Class boats introduced over the past few years to replace 27.5m units from the 1980s.

The new Hamburg will draw 1.95m and displace 120t. Boasting an operational range of 600-800 sea miles, it will have a top speed of 24 knots developed from a high-performance propulsion system comprising two MTU 16V M72 engines of combined 2,880kW. Also on board are two ZF 5000D456 gearing plants with trolling mode and a 75kW bow thruster. Other on-board power units listed include a Deutz 1013 diesel engine and a Whisperpower SQ25 diesel generator. The 8.2m by 2.9m tender on Hamburg draws 0.8m, displaces 4.3t and its single Steyr SE 236 E40 engine of 170kW develops 19 knots.

The 28m Class SAR boats and their tenders are constructed in the tried and tested netframe system using marine aluminium and are all self-righting. They are “well-equipped for safe service” the DGzRS says, also boasting state-of-the-art navigation, communication and rescue equipment.

CONTRACT FOR HYDROGEN POWERED CTVs Wind farm major Vattenfall has signed a contract with Windcat Workboats for the provision of crew transfer vessels (CTVs) to service the Hollandse Kust Zuid 1&2 offshore wind farm.

Under this agreement, Vattenfall will be one of the first users of Windcat's hydrogen-powered vessels that are currently being developed.

Windcat has pioneered many innovations in the crew transfer vessel sector and this use of hydrogen power represents a major step forward particularly as it appears likely that the hydrogen will be produced from surplus electrical power developed from wind farms.

Windcat is working closely with Belgium based CMB Technologies on the development of these innovative vessels with the first of these craft expected to be completed by 2020. CMB is a major shipping company and it will be their research and development arm that will undertake the development of the new hydrogen fuelled vessels. CMB has considerable experience in the use of hydrogen as marine fuel and in the long term this

development is aimed at using hydrogen as a fuel for the company's ships.

In 2017 CMB Technologies was responsible for the design and development of the Hydroville which is claimed to be the first hydrogen fuelled passenger vessel with class approval. This vessel was built in the UK by BWSeacat Ltd and was powered by a pair of engines totalling 441kW with the option of operating on hydrogen or diesel fuel. The hydrogen is stored in 12 stainless steel 205 litre tanks at 200 bar and the engines on this 14 metre long catamaran give a top speed of 27 knots.

The development and operation of Hydroville

8 One of Windcat Workboats’ existing diesel powered fleet

should give Windcat sufficient confidence to upgrade the same technology for use in a Crew Transfer Vessel for operation from the Vattenfall base at Ijmuiden which has been selected as the home base for O&M activities for the 700MW project. No information has been released about the size and type of engines that will be specified for these new CTVs Hollandse Kust Zuid 1&2 will be the world's first offshore wind project to be built without public subsidy. The project, located 22km from the coast, is expected to be commissioned in 2022.

Increasingly, shipyards function as integrators between multiple parties in the design process. To flourish in this role, they need efficient and effective software to successfully drive a project from inception to completion.

To help Meyer Turku make and implement its shipbuilding decisions more effectively, Napa and Prostep have combined their respective expertise.

OFFSHORE VESSEL EQUIPPED FOR BIGGER PARTS Jan De Nul Group has ordered its third Offshore Jack-Up Installation Vessel with crane capacity of over 3,000t to enable it to handle increasingly larger offshore wind parts.

The Voltaire is specifically designed to transport, lift and install offshore wind turbines, transition pieces and foundations. In addition to its main crane being able to handle more than 3,000t, the vessel has an operating depth of approximately 80m, a payload of about 14,000t and is equipped with a DP2 system. The vessel has four legs to lift itself above the sea level and, including the extended main crane, has a total height of 325m.

Philippe Hutse, offshore director at Jan De Nul Group: “Upon her delivery in 2022, we will be capable of efficiently installing the next generation of offshore wind turbine generators and foundations.”

TALL ORDER The next generation of offshore wind turbines can be more than 270m high and are fitted with blades of 120m long. Offshore installation vessels currently available on the market are facing increasing difficulties to install these types of turbines due to the turbines' sizes and installation heights, as well as the ever-increasing foundation dimensions.

Jan De Nul Group designed the Voltaire to run on gasoil, but it features a Selective Catalytic Reduction

8 One of Windcat Workboats’ existing diesel powered fleet

(SCR) system and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). It also has almost 100% more deck space than Jan De Nul's two other jack-up vessels, the Vole au vent and the Taillevent. This will enable efficient installations at sea, alongside lower fuel consumption and emissions.

The Voltaire will be the very first seagoing installation vessel of its kind to be an Ultra-Low Emission vessel (ULEv) and EURO STAGE V certified.

STRENGTHENING THE THANET COASTLINE Two coastal projects, led by Thanet District Council, Kent, UK are set to take place along sections of both the Ramsgate and Margate sea fronts to improve resilience from the sea writes Dag Pike

8 Coastal defences at Thanet

The coastline around the District of Thanet embraces a wide variety of coastal types from chalk cliffs to open sandy beaches and includes the two harbours of Ramsgate and Margate. The Technical Services team at Thanet District Council is responsible for coastal management along 16 miles of Thanet's 19 mile coastline.

Work on the first scheme has started in Ramsgate and will last for approximately 16 weeks. This scheme is focusing on improving existing flood defences which lie to the north of Ramsgate Harbour and which are designed to protect the sea front which is the main leisure area at Ramsgate.

A spokesperson for the council commented, “Specifically, this work involves re-facing to the concrete seawall along Granville Marina and Esplanade and raising the height of the existing groyne. In addition, this scheme will see the installation of a new 80cm high wave wall to deflect water away from Granville Marina which is the sea front road. This will raise the flood defences at Granville Marina to a 1 in 200 year level of protection from flooding. Further work will involve alterations to the highway to improve access.”

The second project is a refurbishment scheme which will strengthen flood defences between the Westbrook Groyne and Nayland Rock. This area of sea front lies to the west of Margate Harbour and like the section at Ramsgate it is the main

Specifically, this work involves re-facing to the concrete seawall along Granville Marina and Esplanade and raising the height of the existing groyne. In addition, this scheme will see the installation of a new 80cm high wave wall to deflect water away from Granville Marina which is the sea front road beach and leisure area of the town. The work to be carried out here will involve the refurbishment of a dilapidated groyne that helps to stabilise the beach and the stone sea wall that runs along the promenade.

This work is fully funded by the Environment Agency and the work is estimated to last for six weeks so that it will be completed before the start of the main holiday season.

Thanet has 11 miles of concrete sea walls which protect the land behind from erosion or flooding by the sea. The team at the Council undertakes continuous maintenance of Thanet's sea walls and promenades and carries out programmed inspections to monitor its condition and identify necessary repair work.

Veripos contract extension Veripos, part of Hexagon's Positioning Intelligence Division, has announced a multiyear contract extension to supply GNSS services to UTEC, a global surveying company in subsea services group Acteon, on a worldwide basis.

Under the terms of the agreement, Veripos will upgrade existing GNSS hardware with their

56 | MAY 2019

latest multi-constellation, multi-frequency receivers and supply UTEC with a full range of proprietary positioning services, including its latest Apex5 signal corrections and Quantum GNSS visualisation software.

John Macleod, General Manager of Veripos EAME said “We are pleased to extend our relationship with UTEC to support their offshore

endeavours. A key area in our discussions with them was our continued development of GNSS positioning technology and solutions. As offshore operations are now encountering more incidences of intentional and nonintentional GNSS interference, our latest anti-jamming technology is designed to ensure the highest levels of signal integrity.”
