PoRt neWs PORT OF FELIXSTOWE CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF CONTAINER TERMINALS The Port of Felixstowe has launched a year of celebration to mark the 50th anniversary of the UK’s first operational container terminal. The year of celebration was launched at a customer function on 12 December 2016 by Lawrence Yam, Commercial Director of the Port of Felixstowe. Firmly established as the UK’s largest container port, Felixstowe’s history has been marked by a succession of firsts. Originally known as the New South Quay, the first dedicated container terminal opened in July 1967, initially with just 500ft (152m) of quay and a single Paceco Vickers portainer crane. Clemence Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of the Port of Felixstowe and Managing Director of Hutchison Ports Europe, said:

The Port of Felixstowe has come a long way over the last 50 years. From a single-berth operation with one crane we now have nine berths providing over 3,000 metres of deep-water container quay serviced by 33 ship-to-shore gantry cranes.

Felixstowe was chosen in 1967 because of its proximity to the main shipping lanes and the main ports of Northern Europe. That remains a key differentiator but the position today has been improved by the development of road and rail links that are second to none. Change has been another constant at Felixstowe over the last 50 years. Landguard Terminal was completed in the 1970s followed by Trinity Terminal, the UK’s first post-panamax facility, which was built in phases through the 1980s and 1990s with the final phase completed in 2004. Since then growth has continued. The most recent phase of development, Berths 8&9, was opened in 2011 and extended in 2015. The creation of the newest terminal involved the reclamation of additional land from the River Orwell but also includes the site of the New South Quay, bringing the story full-circle and ensuring that the largest container ships in the world are handled where the very first container ships visited 50 years ago.

The operation today bears no real resemblance to those early years. The scale and level of technical innovation have grown beyond recognition. But not everything has changed.

Working on water Student takes on Thames maritime work experience A student from Graveney School in Tooting has gone afloat for work experience with the Port of London Authority (PLA) to get a taste for the maritime industry and to learn how the UK’s busiest waterway is kept running safely. Having seen the PLA patrolling the river while rowing in Putney with the Explorer Sea Scouts, Eleanor Pettem decided to get in contact with the navigational and safety authority to see if she could get some hands-on work experience. The PLA Harbour Service manages traffic during river events and bridge works, inspects riverside facilities to ensure ships will be able to berth safely, and supports recreational users making the most of the river in safety. Joining the hydrographic department midweek, Eleanor boarded Maplin, the PLA’s new survey boat. She explained: “The team showed me all their survey equipment which uses radar that reflects sound off the river bed to identify the depth, which is something I learned about in my geology class. They are able to produce colourful 3D models of anything that is found in the river like ship wrecks.” Data collected by the hydrographic team is fed into maritime charts that allow the world’s largest ships to navigate up the Thames without running aground. Eleanor finished off the week in Port Control, which is like air traffic control of the river, they monitor ships across a 600 square mile area, making sure ships are travelling safely 24/7, 365 days a year. The team based in Port Control helps plan the arrival and departure of ships, arrange for pilots to bring ships in and out of the port, and monitors vessel transit to make sure ships are travelling in the correct channels throughout their journey. p6 | www.dockyard-mag.com | January 2017

ALEWIJNSE MARINE OPENS NEW FACILITY IN DEN HELDER

Charles Cleghorn Ltd Charles Cleghorn Ltd can now quote for axial flow marine DC fans in BRUSHLESS form. These robustly engineered units, made by the long-established ENAG company in France, are designed and produced to BV standards specifically for marine workboat applications. The new BRUSHLESS motors allow skippers and owners to install a fan with a life expectancy similar to AC mains powered units - ie tens of thousands of hours, thus almost eliminating maintenance issues. This is a significant benefit for vessels where there is no AC genset. The standard BRUSHLESS fans come in 24v DC form but can be supplemented by a converter to allow fans to be run on 110v DC, which is still the principal power supply on many UK & Irish fishing vessels. A variable speed version is also available. The new design features bore sizes from 165mm to 700mm, with performance ranging from 800 cu.m/hr to 20,000 cu.m/hr. Motor power extends from 0.12kW on the smallest models up to 3kW at the top of the range. The first of the design to be sold in the UK is being supplied to a South Coast shipyard for fitting to a pilot vessel. In addition to the target market of working vessels, the fans would also be ideal for the larger oceangoing yachts and motor-yachts, where down-time is undesirable and charter work demands longterm reliability.

System integrator Alewijnse Marine has opened a new service and maintenance facility in Den Helder to support its activities at the Dutch Royal Naval dockyard and Damen Shipyards Den Helder. This new facility will allow Alewijnse Marine to deliver its expertise in all types of electrical systems more quickly and efficiently to naval and commercial vessels. Alewijnse Marine has been working successfully in Den Helder for several years, on contracts with both Damen Shipyards Den Helder and the Dutch Royal Navy. What began with providing service on hybrid tugboats, expanded rapidly into delivering larger service and maintenance contracts, particularly for naval vessels. The increasing number and complexity of assignments, has led to the establishment of a formal service hub, which was a logical step. Shipyards For many years Alewijnse has a strong relationship with Damen and operates at a number of its ship repair yards, like Dunkerque, Vlissingen, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Den Helder. Beside the facility in Den Helder, Alewijnse has operational facilities in Vlissingen and Dunkerque. In the latter, Alewijnse is mainly involved in servicing the full range of cross-channel ferries, as the yard is well-positioned for the many passenger and freight ferries operating between France and the United Kingdom. In Vlissingen, Alewijnse’s operational deployment focuses on 24/7 service for temporary facilities on offshore vessels.

THE PRINCESS ROYAL BEGINS FESTIVE SEASON WITH THE MISSION TO SEAFARERS The Mission to Seafarers Annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols took place last week at its headquarters at St Michael Paternoster Royal Church, London. Once again the charity had the privilege of its President HRH The Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence attending. Not only did Her Royal Highness read the first lesson, the congregation were fortunate enough to meet with the charity’s President at the post-service drinks reception in the sumptuous setting of Skinners’ Hall. The other readers at this years’ service included: Admiral Lord West, Chancellor Southampton Solent University; Commander Peter Snow, former Mission to Seafarers Regional Chair, Oceania; Ms Susan Dio, Chief Executive Officer, BP Shipping Ltd; The Most Rev. Fredrick James Hiltz, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada and Chairman MtS Canada; and the Rt Hon John Hayes MP, Minister of State Responsible of Maritime, Department of Transport. The Revd Andrew Wright, Secretary-General of The Mission to Seafarers said: “I offer my profound thanks to all our supporters who helped made the annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols a resounding success. We are delighted to have had the support of Ince and Co., BP Shipping and Harris Pye, whose financial contribution will help The Mission continue its vital work around the world. At Christmas we rely on seafarers to ship our much anticipated Christmas gifts, often not realising those very seafarers will be apart from their loved ones at this special time of year.” The service gave an opportunity to reflect on seafarers who will be working away from home and their families over Christmas. The Mission’s teams around the world, the army of Chaplains, staff, ship visitors and volunteers will be doing all they can to share hope and peace to ensure seafarers have the best possible Christmas far away from those dearest to them.

North Sea Trawler Receives Quick Turnaround Turbocharger retrofit takes just five weeks from enquiry to execution. MAN Diesel & Turbo recently completed a noteworthy job, carrying out a turbocharger retrofit with just five weeks from first enquiry to turbocharger commissioning. The vessel in question, Faeroese trawler, ‘Sjurdaberg’, was constructed in 1985 and has successfully operated in the North Sea for over 30 years. Equipped with a 1984-built MAN 9L28/32A Alpha engine and NA34/K turbocharger, the trawler has accumulated more than 115,000 operating hours in one of the world’s major fishing grounds. Gottfried Eberle, Head of Turbocharger Retrofit – MAN Diesel & Turbo – said:

During the retrofit, we replaced the original axial MAN NA34/K unit that had served so well with a modern, radial MAN TCR20 turbocharger. The main advantages of the new turbocharger are its small size and efficiency, and its short reaction time in the event of load changes. The Sjurdaberg has really gotten a new lease of life! Background Fishing trawlers rely on especially powerful engines and turbochargers, which are a prerequisite for competing in the highly competitive, global fishing industry. On the occasion of a large-scale overhaul of the Sjurdaberg’s engine, it transpired that a turbocharger retrofit would be a convincing, long-term solution for this particular vessel. The work was carried out in Denmark by MAN Diesel & Turbo, Frederikshavn, in close cooperation with Turbocharger p8 | www.dockyard-mag.com | January 2017

In these pictures: MAN Diesel & Turbo have carried out a turbocharger retrofit in only five weeks. Retrofit in Augsburg, who report that the modification from axial to radial was particularly challenging due to the necessary adaptations of the fundament and installation of new intermediate pieces and pipes. Additionally, the exhaust-gas pipe had to be fitted to the new turbocharger. All of the assembly pieces were manufactured on-site in Frederikshavn in a very short time with the retrofit itself realised in a mere 10 days. The bollard-pull test, during which the vessel is moored to the pier and operated on full load which is simultaneously measured, delivered convincing results. The trawler owner was highly satisfied with the retrofit and the subsequent benefits from increased performance and reliability, high spare-parts availability, containment safety and reduced maintenance costs.

Coastal security tops maritime agenda

Concerns about UK coastal security are to be raised with Government Ministers following a meeting of an influential Parliamentary maritime group.

National Maritime Information Centre, Royal Navy, the Association of Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities (IFCA) and the voluntary sector.

Joint venture partners TMG and State 21’s delegation also included TMG Partner and Director Les Chapman and State 21 Managing Director Richard Rowland.

The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Maritime and Ports is to seek assurances from Immigration Minister Robert Goodwill MP about measures to bolster Great Britain’s inshore borders in the fight against such threats as people traffickers, organised crime, illegal fishing, terrorists and drugs smugglers.

Captain Parrott and Mr Birr raised potential solutions for discussion, including a new single Government agency, a single command and control structure, central intelligence gathering and analysis, and a central process for deploying resources.

TMG Managing Director Malcolm Parrott said after the meeting: “The scale of the problem around our coast is becoming enormous.

It is also to copy the letter to Shipping Minister John Hayes MP.

MP and Lords at the presentation included co-chairmen Lord Greenway and former Shipping Minister Jim Fitzpatrick MP, Lord Wrigglesworth, the Earl of Cork and Orrery, Dover and Deal MP Charlie Elphicke and North Wiltshire MP James Gray.

A centralised command and control structure, multi-agency operations and co-ordinated intelligence gathering were among the issues raised at the meeting at Westminster. They came after a joint presentation to the Group by international consultancy The Maritime Group (International) Limited (TMG) and resilience management specialists State21 Limited, titled ‘How secure is our coastline?’ Former First Sea Lord Admiral Lord West of Spithead, said that a centralised capability of command and control to improve inshore security was ‘exactly what was needed and something he has proposed in the past’. TMG Managing Director Captain Malcolm Parrott and State 21 Business Director Tony Birr outlined the multiple agencies involved in coastal security. They include the Border Force, the Police and the National Crime Agency as well the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, p10 | www.dockyard-mag.com | January 2017

Nearly 50 people attended the presentation, including senior figures from marine companies and organisations Jim Fitzpatrick, Co-Chairman with Lord Greenway, said the presentation was very ‘valuable’ in raising questions about coastal security, co-ordinated activity, command structures and intelligence gathering. “I suggest the All-Party group writes to the Minister and puts the questions raised by very senior members of the Group.” The reply will be reported back to the All-Party Group. The meeting came hot on the heels of concerns from the Independent Reviewer of Terror Legislation, David Anderson QC, about British borders being weakened by poor records kept by ferry firms.

“Our presentation successfully raised questions about the issue which members of the All-Party Group and attendees carefully considered and proposed ways forward.” Mr Birr added: “Great Britain has excellent agencies with world class reputations and we hope the meeting was valuable in contributing to the debate about how these can be better utilised to secure our coastal borders more effectively.” TMG is an international consortium of maritime services companies, marine consultancies and marine management companies with its headquarters in Seattle and regional offices in London and Honolulu. Founded by former police officers, State 21 is resilience management consultancy delivering training, exercises and debriefing for the maritime sector. The UK has about 13,900km of coastline. The maritime sector’s direct contribution to the economy is estimated at about £13.8billion. For more details visit:

LOGISTICS ACADEMY GAINS INDUSTRY RECOGNITION AHEAD OF ITS SECOND YEAR

PD Ports has won the People Development Award in the International Bulk Journal (IBJ) Awards for its work with the Logistics Academy in a bid to tackle the shortage of young people entering the sector. With Stockton Riverside College, PD Ports helped to establish the North Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Logistics Academy in 2015 in conjunction with NETA Training Trust, Think Logistics national charity, Career Ready and local employers.

Winning this award reflects our ongoing efforts and commitment to help bridge the skills gap within the logistics sector. This initiative gives local young people the chance to understand the careers available in logistics and improves the perception of the sector in the eyes of the younger generation. Following the success of the first year we will continue to work closely with all of the partners involved to ensure the initiative and the opportunities it creates deliver real value for both the young people and the logistics sector for years to come.

The Logistics Academy pilot scheme started with a cohort of 14 students from Stockton Riverside College with an aim to help engage potential talent in a drive to inspire more young people to consider a future career in logistics.

Each of the 14 students attended the Logistics Academy sessions which offered an introduction to the sector involving master classes as well as a unique insight in to logistics businesses across Teesside, including visits to Clipper Logistics, AV Dawson and KP Snacks. One-to-one mentoring with industry experts also played a critical role in the programme.

Nationally the sector needs to recruit approximately 1.2 million new workers by 2022, a target which will prove difficult to achieve if the struggle to recruit school leavers in to the industry continues.

GLOBAL SHIPPING INDUSTRY SLAMS EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT PROPOSAL TO IMPOSE REGIONAL EMISSIONS TRADING SYSTEM The global trade association for shipowners, the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), says that a unilateral decision by the European Union to incorporate international shipping into its regional Emissions Trading System (ETS) will polarise and impede current discussions on additional CO2 reduction measures at the UN International Maritime Organization (IMO).

and the development of a mechanism for delivery. But threats of EU unilateral action will do nothing to help this complex process.”

“Non-EU nations will be disappointed and very concerned by yesterday’s vote in the European Parliament Environment Committee following IMO’s adoption just a few weeks ago of a comprehensive road map for action,” said ICS Director of Policy and External Relations, Simon Bennett.

“The EU ETS has been an abject failure. Its unilateral application to global shipping would create market distortion while generating trade disputes with China and other Asian nations, as happened when the EU tried unsuccessfully to impose its ETS on international aviation,” said Mr Bennett.

“But we hope that EU governments and the European Commission will see sense and recognise that threats to their trading partners will not serve the development of the global solution which both they and the shipping industry want and need.” Mr Bennett continued: “ICS is confident that IMO Member States, most of which are developing nations, will adopt a CO2 reduction strategy in 2018 that will include ambitious CO2 reduction goals

p14 | www.dockyard-mag.com | January 2017

ICS says that emissions trading, which has been developed primarily for industries such as power generation and cement and steel production, is completely inappropriate for international shipping which mostly comprises SMEs typically operating less than 10 ships.

The position of ICS is that if IMO Member States should decide to apply a market based measure for CO2 reduction to international shipping, the preference of the industry would be for a global fuel levy. ICS says that shipping fully accepts responsibility for reducing its CO2 and building on the 10 per cent reduction already achieved by the sector during the

last five-year period for which IMO data is available (2007-2012). But ICS asserts that if IMO decides to develop a fuel levy, this would require the full support of developing nations which are worried about the potential impact on trade and economic development.

Even if market based measures are found necessary to achieve the objectives which IMO sets for the sector, threatening non-EU partners with unilateral action is not going to help them to overcome their legitimate concerns. The only forum in which to have this debate is at IMO. Said Mr Bennett. ICS is working closely with the European Community Shipowners’ Associations (ECSA) to persuade the plenary of the European Parliament, as well as EU Member States and the European Commission, to reject the EP Environment Committee’s report. The plenary of the European Parliament is expected to vote on the Committee’s report in early 2017.

The company has developed a high performance design which we now have applied to a standard range of propellers. These propellers are produced in quantity to make the manufacturing price competitive. They are based on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning

C-Foil design and are manufactured in Nickel Aluminium Bronze to deliver efficient performance combined with excellent corrosion resistance. These propellers will save fuel costs and will last longer than manganese bronze propellers.

Rapid Replacement Service Unlike the majority of propeller companies Teignbridge Propellers has the complete design and manufacturing process in house. Combined with its sophisticated design and manufacturing methods it is able to fast track the production of new propellers to replace damaged ones very quickly and to return a vessel to operation again. In the majority of cases, if the original propellers were not supplied by Teignbridge the customers will enjoy an improved performance from their new propellers.

The Propellers supplied by Teignbridge not only saved my holiday and the rest of the boating season, they increased the performance of my Princess 56, decreased my fuel consumption, all for less than half the cost of the original propellers. Right: John and Yvonne Fisk pictured with Pendragon their 3 year old

Princess 56 whose boating season was saved by our Rapid Replacement Service. The propellers were designed and manufactured within one week.

Grupo TMM places order for Damen ASD Tug 3212

In these pictures: Damen ASD Tug 3212 for TMM Colima.

Leading Mexican maritime operator, Grupo TMM, has signed a Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance with Damen Shipyards Group for a 70 tonne bollard pull ASD Tug 3212 named TMM COLIMA. The tug will operate in the Mexican port of Manzanillo on the Pacific Coast. Ongoing port modifications and changes in port authority requirements were the driving force behind the deal. Founded in 1958, Grupo TMM has become one of the largest integrated logistics and transportation companies in Mexico. The group provides a dynamic combination of specialized maritime services, port and terminal management and integrated logistics services to an extensive Mexican and international client base. The ASD Tug 3212 will join Grupo TMM’s first Damen Tug, purchased in the 1990s, and will become part of a fleet of 42 vessels. The tug will operate in and around the port of Manzanillo, where the organization is expanding its operations. In order to continue improving

p18 | www.dockyard-mag.com | January 2017

the good services already offered by Grupo TMM and to exceed the demand of their clients, the need for additional efficient vessels with the power to handle larger ships has been brought to the port. With 70 tonne of maximum static bollard pull and strong maneuverability features, the ASD Tug 3212 will bring enhanced capability to TMM’s fleet. The tug is expected to arrive in Manzanillo by the end of this year. In addition to the performance and features of the ASD Tug 3212, another factor influencing the deal was Damen’s ability to guarantee a fast turnaround and punctual delivery. Luis Ocejo, Senior Managing Director, commented:

In addition to the ASD Tug 3212 being what we were looking for technically, we also returned to Damen due to our confidence in their systems and scheduling capabilities. The fact that this specific vessel is built in series, allows us to access a proven platform in record speed.

Iceni Defender’s launch and naming ceremony signals start of sea trials Alicat Workboats Limited, has launched its latest 23-metre workboat. The vessel, that was officially named Iceni Defender earlier this morning, will now begin extensive sea trials before being formally handed over to its owners, Iceni Marine Services, later in January. The official vessel naming ceremony and launch marks another milestone for both Iceni Marine Services and Alicat Workboats long-standing commitment to the offshore energy sector. Following the completion of sea trials, the workboat will join the growing fleet of dedicated offshore energy support vessels, owned and operated by charter firm, Iceni Marine Services. The offshore energy support company that was formed in 2009, currently operates a fleet of 8 vessels from Alicat Workboats Ltd and sister company South

p22 | www.dockyard-mag.com | January 2017

Boat IOW Ltd, in UK and European coastal waters. The fleet varies in size from 12 to 23 metres. The completion of the Iceni Defender will see that fleet grow to 9 with another vessel to follow on later in the first quarter of 2017.

Richard Thurlow, Director, Iceni Marine Services, added,

The launch and naming of a new vessel is always an important moment for any shipyard and its customers.

This South Boat IOW 23m built by Alicat Workboats Ltd, has been developed over a long-standing relationship to bring about a highly capable British built and British operated Crew Transfer Vessel.

For Alicat Workboats Ltd, this is another milestone that underlines Alicat’s ability to build and support the European offshore energy market. Alicat have set themselves up with sufficient build capacity and facilities to support the expected market growth. It is operators like Iceni which help to shape this future. Simon Coote, Director, Alicat Workboats Ltd.

Iceni Defender is the project of two local Great Yarmouth companies.

Alicat operates one of the UK’s most capable small vessel build and repair facilities in the UK. Alicat Workboats, along with its sister company South Boats IOW Ltd has constructed 35% of all offshore wind crew transfer vessels in Europe, equating to five times more vessels than its nearest competitor.

suPPlieRs & seRviCes Mooring Buoys for the Port of Rotterdam This case study gives an overview of mooring buoys and moorings supplied to the Port of Rotterdam by MOBILIS, specialist manufacturers of navigation equipment. Hydrosphere has a long-standing relationship with MOBILIS as their distributor into the UK since 2001. The Port of Rotterdam is Europe’s largest seaport. In the last three years’ throughput amounts have increased from 440 million tonnes in 2013 to 466 million in 2015. Approximately 30,000 seagoing vessels and 110,000 inland vessels visit the Port of Rotterdam every year. MOBILIS were the natural choice to design and install a bespoke mooring system as they have had a close association with the Port of Rotterdam for over 20 years. The Brief • To design a modern mooring buoy with more capacity to handle the steady increase in vessel numbers and size. • To replace existing single point mooring buoys with larger multi point mooring buoys. • To provide simple and easy mooring and release of ships whilst ensuring the security of mooring operation staff. The Solution MOBILIS worked with the Port of Rotterdam to ensure that the technical specifications required were met by the new bespoke design. The mooring buoys are manufactured from flexible polyethylene UV16-20, High Strength Steel S355 with a 5 layered protective coating including a final bio anti-fouling layer, which are easy to maintain and fully recyclable. All materials used were selected for strength, flexibility and resilience. Extensive testing was carried out before launching to study the behaviour of materials in the environment. It was agreed with the Port of Rotterdam 2016 pp24 24 | www.dockyard-mag.com | September January 2017

that mechanical devices such as ‘Quick Release Hooks’ would be avoided due to concerns of corrosion. Service and safety were fundamental to the project’s success Port of Rotterdam opted for a customdesigned mooring system. The 4 point mooring system with eye/bollard combination allows for a quick release operation without using quick release hooks; the first of its kind on the market. This provides a solution suitable for use globally. The safe working load increased from a single point 90 Tonne Safe Working Load to 4 x 108 Tonne Safe Working Load per buoy. This has resulted in a mooring buoy that has been designed to be as ergonomic as possible, ensuring maximum safety and efficiency in all weather conditions. This new mooring buoy provides an easy mooring and release of ships whilst ensuring the safety of mooring operation staff. This new buoy is the MOBILIS AMR 14000. It’s features include: • High submergence: 94 Kg/cm. • Floats made of polyethylene. • 4 mooring points allow a quick release operation on the eye and bollard combination. • SWL: 4 x 108 tons. • High strength steel S355 with a 5 layers coating including a special final layer: a bio anti fooling. • Polyethylene chosen is a flexible polyethylene UV 16-20 without heavy metals and acts as a fender. The Result The Port of Rotterdam’s custom-designed AMR 14000 mooring buoy was launched in early 2015, fulfilling the brief and meeting the ports requirements. A Port of Rotterdam representative commented “The new mooring buoy now makes the process of securing and releasing vessels quick and efficient....Mobilis PE buoys offers many advantages compared with our old steel mooring buoys.”

MOBILIS’ reputation for providing quality products with low maintenance costs was a key driver in the Port of Rotterdam’s decision to use MOBILIS. It was also very important that MOBILIS were willing to design a specific mooring buoy for this project. The outcome is a product that is 100% effective and all partners are satisfied with the result. MOBILIS attributes the success of this project to the willingness of all parties to collaborate and work together throughout the research, design and testing process.

New Tritex Multigauge Thickness Gauges for Surveyors

Dorchester based, Tritex NDT have launched a new range of thickness gauges specifically for ship and small craft surveyors. These include the new Multigauge 5650 Surveyor thickness gauge, for measuring both metal and GRP, and the Multigauge 5300 GRP thickness gauge for just measuring GRP. Both gauges are based on the already very popular original Multigauge 5600 and have new features specifically designed for marine surveyors. The Multigauge 5650 Surveyor gauge can be used with existing standard soft faced probes for measuring metal thickness through coatings, up to 20mm thick, to give the same high standard of performance as the Multigauge 5600. However, by simply exchanging the probe, the gauge automatically switches to GRP measurement mode which uses single echo. This can be used to assess the condition of GRP when checking for osmosis and delaminations. Either probe can also be used in echo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; echo mode, if required, by easily selecting the option from the keypad during measurement, with no special probes required for this function. For metal measurement, the gauge utilises the Multiple Echo technique to ignore coatings up to 20mm thick p26 | www.dockyard-mag.com | January 2017

and just measures the metal substrate. No grinding or removal of the coatings is required, significantly reducing preparation time and ultimately saving both time and money when carrying out inspections. All probes have Intelligent Probe Recognition (IPR), which automatically adjusts settings in the gauge when connected, resulting in a perfectly matched probe and gauge for enhanced performance. Also, the Automatic Measurement Verification System (AMVS) used with multiple echo ensures only true measurements are displayed, even on the most heavily corroded metals. The Multigauge 5300 GRP gauge has been specifically designed for marine surveyors to check for osmosis, blistering and delaminations in GRP hulls. GRP measurement has traditionally been difficult to achieve but Tritex NDT have developed their gauge to use a single echo technology with a special probe for excellent performance. Both gauges have large modern colour displays and an easy to use clear graphic menu. They have been designed in line with Tritexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concept of Simple, Accurate and Robust. Intuitive menus allow for easy navigation. There are also datalogging versions of each gauge

available which allow the user to store measurements on the gauge in either a grid, string or combination of both, giving complete versatility. The datalogging function is wireless which means that real time measurements can be displayed on a PC or laptop up to 1km away. Templates can be setup before carrying out the inspection Only single crystal probes are used, which have a number of advantages when measuring on curved and corroded surfaces. Tritex NDT is a leading manufacturer of thickness gauges. All gauges are designed and manufactured in the UK and supplied as complete kits, ready to use, with a 3 year warranty and free annual calibration for the life of the gauge. An optional leather case protects the gauge in even the harshest of environments. For further information, please go to:

Norled upgrades passenger ferries with LED lighting solutions from Glamox Norled, one of Norway’s largest shipping companies, has carried out a major upgrade of the lighting systems on three of its passenger ferries with new stateof-the-art LED lighting solutions from Glamox. MV “Dronningen”, MV “Kongen” and MV “Prinsen” are three identical passenger ferries owned by Norled. Glamox supplied a variety of LED lighting systems to all three vessels. The three passenger ferries are all gaspowered vessels. However, in addition, they can also use marine diesel power or a combination thereof. The three ferries are equipped with low emission engines and by choosing state of the art LED lighting systems from Glamox, Norled has taken another important step in reducing its carbon footprint.

The replacement of conventional lighting to LEDs has had several positive outcomes, including reduced maintenance costs, lower power consumption and better light output on board the ferries. Sindre Stølan, Area Sales Manager, Glamox International. Lighting control The lighting solutions supplied by Glamox includes lighting control systems for passenger areas. This is another method of saving energy, as the control system

adjusts the balance of artificial lighting to natural light from large windows on the passenger ferries. In addition, Glamox supplied a number of different LED lighting products, including the DL60 range of LED downlights. These are designed to provide maximum light quality with better colour rendering than fluorescent and halogen lighting. All DL60 components are custom engineered to work optimally together in order to provide maximum light output and minimum glare. Compared to halogen lighting solutions, the DL60 can reduce energy consumption by up to 80% with the same light level. In cabin areas, Norled selected the AL60-SQ range of compact, robust LED luminaires from Glamox. Designed by young Norwegian Designer Hans Bleken Rud, the AL60-SQ is an elegant, indoor, wall- or ceiling-mounted square cabin light. The AL60-SQ comes in two different sizes, 290 x 290 mm and 340 x 340 mm, in grey, white or black. Several decors are available. The light technique ensures the luminaire provides a very good quality, homogenous light output. Due to its LED technology, the AL60-SQ is energy efficient over a long lifetime. Norled also installed the TX60 range of LED light fittings from Glamox. These enable rapid, easy replacement of existing T8 fluorescent light fittings without requiring any additional design or installation changes. The LED system with new advanced IC driver technology

provides the TX60 with a class-leading operating life of 100,000 hours at Ta +45°C, with no system lifetime limitations from the driver. As well as being maintenance-free over 100,000 hours, the TX60 also reduces energy costs, providing 30% energy savings compared to conventional T8 HF fluorescent lamps. The TL43 is a classic style light from Glamox that is energy-efficient. The TL43 is a wall or corner-mounted luminaire supplied with an uplight for mounting low on walls or with no uplight for mounting in the corner between a wall and ceiling. The luminaire provides excellent diffusion in corridors and is an energy efficient lighting solution for floor spaces. For outdoor areas on the ferries, Glamox also supplied its TL60 range of LED outdoor lighting fixtures and its MIR LED range of outdoor lighting fixtures. These LED lights save energy and reduce maintenance costs due to their extremely long lifetime. For more information, please visit:

SOLAR SOLVE BLINDS ON NEW CARBON FIBRE HULLED FAST FERRIES South Shields based Solar Solve Marine recently supplied a consignment of 5 SOLASAFE anti-glare roller sunscreens and 6 CASSLITE blackout blinds for the bridge windows of a newly constructed vessel at the BRØDRENE AA, shipyard in Hyen, Norway. They also supplied 55 DIMMLITE roller blinds for the passenger areas of this 40 metre carbon fibre catamaran named Jin Zhu Hu, the first of 2 fast ferries ordered by Guangzhou Liuanshan Port Passenger Transport Co. Ltd, Hong Kong. A similar consignment of 66 Type Approved roller screens and blinds has also been supplied by Solar Solve for the sister vessel. Equipped with 2x MTU 16V2000 M72 engines and the new S63-4 waterjets from Rolls Royce, the 270 passenger Jin Zhu Hu achieved a top speed of 35 knots, carrying 30 tonnes of dead weight. A floating floor has been installed to reduce noise level, and during trials an average of only 66 decibels on main deck and 59 decibels on the upper deck was recorded. BRØDRENE AA is a world leader in the construction of vessels made of carbon fibre composites and are known for pioneering the use of them for fast ferry applications. Carbon fibre reinforcement provides high strength and rigidity at extremely low weights and are mainly used in aircraft construction. Jin Zhu Hu is the first vessel to be built with Brødrene’s brand new exterior design which has been developed in cooperation with Oslo based Hareide Design. The main benefits for use in fast ferries are the savings in running costs due to the reduction in expensive fuel being burned, the extra speed that can be achieved and the fact that carbon fibres do not rust or corrode like metals. John Lightfoot, Solar Solve Marine’s Chairman commented,

Just about every week at least one consignment of our Brand Leading p32 | www.dockyard-mag.com | January 2017

products is destined for an innovative vessel of some description, to benefit the personnel who work on the navigation bridge mainly. With these 2 pioneering fast ferries the passengers will also benefit from the DIMMLITE roller blinds installed at the windows in the passenger areas to protect them from the sun. Shipowners and builders who are involved in developing and operating the world’s most revolutionary vessels work with reliable subcontractors to supply them with the first class products needed to successfully fulfil their demanding specifications and the Solar Solve Marine team are very happy to oblige.

AHC Upgrade Of LARS To Japanese Research Vessel Done In Only 3 Days Scantrol is proud to have successfully upgraded a Saab Seaeye Leopard ROV LARS to have Active Heave Compensation in only 3 days. The retrofit allows the customer, a Japanese marine science company, to continue working in tough weather conditions by increasing operational time of the vessel and reducing the risk of damage to the system. First AHC upgrade of Leopard ROV LARS When our partner in the UK, Hydramec, got a request from Saab Seaeye to upgrade an existing Launch & Recovery system, Scantrol was contacted to supply the AHC controls. Even if though we have done several systems together in the past, this was the first time an upgrade of a Leopard ROV LARS system has been carried out, explains Senior Design Engineer Rolf Krogh Hjelmeland, responsible for the offshore segment. The project was carried out in Japan in May where Hydramec and Scantrol took up the task of retro fitting Active heave compensation to an existing LARS 1055, a 3000 meter rated Leopard ROV Launch and recovery system. Testing and research was done at the Hydramec facilities to find the optimal and most cost effective way to perform the upgrade of the LARS systems. Increased operation window and reduced damage to the system Kaiyo Engineering, a Japanese marine science company, is using the Leopard to explore the feasibility of seabed mining. Adding AHC to the ROV LARS means that the client can work in tougher sea conditions as the system keeps the tether management system stable relative to the ROV while docking and undocking. This results in increased operational time for the vessel. Scantrol AHC also focus on safety, ease of use and efficient commissioning. AHC retrofit in only 3 days The requirement from the Japanese client was to achieve AHC in a 3 meters swell over an 8 second period. The ability of the system was run through the Scantrol analyzer before the job was undertaken and it was found that the winch could

compensate for up to 4 meters in 10 seconds. This in turn meant that the system only needed the minimum of hydraulic modifications to allow the system to have AHC fitted. The project was started and completed in 3 working days meaning that the downtime to the client was minimal. After the modifications, Dyna-tests were carried out on the winch to ensure that the compensation level met the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specification. Good results and high performance were witnessed by the client and signed off once completed. The system is now operational and all feedback from the client has been positive, said Danny Church, Managing Director at Hydramec. Smart tools for design, testing, operation and support Scantrol has developed a set of supportive tools that is used during the design, testing, operation and for remote support. The Scantrol toolbox ensures adequate AHC winch capacity, large timesavings in testing, intuitive monitoring of operations and rapid, cost effective support independent of where the vessel is located. It is the toolbox that makes it possible for Scantrol to complete a retrofit within 3 days.

LIFE CELL ACHIEVES SOLAS CERTIFICATION Life Cell Marine Safety is pleased to announce that it buoyancy device, Life Cell, has achieved SOLAS certification. The certificate of Type Approval as a Novel LifeSaving Appliance was granted by Lloyds Register under the IMO resolution A.580 (13) and the LSA code regulation I/1.2. Under the rules and regulations, Life Cell is classified as a Throwable Buoyancy Device and has the capacity to support 1-4 people depending on the model. Life Cell is suitable for installation up to a height of 30 metres above the waterline and can now be used on ships bound by the International Convention of SOLAS. In addition to buoyancy, the added advantage of the Life Cell is that you can store all essential safety equipment to notify authorities and ensure survival at sea. One of the inventors of the Life Cell product and now a Director of Life Cell Marine Safety, Scott Smiles, is extremely proud that his innovative product developed after a real life accident at sea, has been approved internationally at the highest level. p34 | www.dockyard-mag.com | January 2017

My experience made me realise how quickly things can go wrong and how critical it was to have a buoyant device, signalling equipment and an effective way of keeping everyone together once you are in the water. My mission has always been to save lives and I am pleased that this certification will allow Life Cell to be used more widely on vessels internationally. The Life Cell Product range will be exhibited at the London Boat Show from Friday 6th - Sunday 15th January 2017 by: ADEC (stand A061), Jimmy Green Marine (stand B039), Marine Super Store (stand A026) and TCS Chandlery (stand B051).

SEA FIRE EUROPE LTD Writing on behalf of Marine Fire suppression manufacturer Sea-Fire with reference to Safety at sea. Firstly a fixed based automatic fire system fitted within the engine compartment with a manual release cable is the only way to protect a vessel and its crew from such an event, allowing for early preventative action to be taken rather than the potential devastating effects of using the wrong form of fire protection or no fire plan at all! Marine Insurance policies are clear that a vessel must be fitted with adequate fire protection for the insurance policy to be valid. Utilising a fire-port (A small hole for a dry powder extinguisher to be fired into the compartment) into the machinery space means that potentially damaging dry powder can be ingested by a running

engine or generator with devastating results. It is not uncommon for the resulting effects of dry powder inside a running engine to require new engines or a major re-build of expensive machinery. The resulting mess is impossible to clear up and harbours corrosion if left. The FM-200 or Novec1230 Automatic/ Manual system is a small relatively inexpensive piece of essential safety equipment that will be a fraction of the price of the latest piece of navigation wizardry. Clean, safe and unbelievably quick the fire will be out with no clean up or resulting damage to machinery. Can you imagine a vessel fire in heavy seas with the owner/skipper staggering around the vessel with a manual dry powder fire extinguisher trying to squirt it through a small engine compartment hole only to find that the skipper forgot

to give the extinguisher itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual shake making it useless! Our systems are simple and easy to DIY fit and are properly sized to the exact volume of the engine space.

Health & saftey issues - ports & harbours Health and Safety issues in and around ports and harbours is complicated by the interface of marine and terrestrial legislation. To add to the mix is the fact that the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) enforces marine safety legislation and terrestrial rules are the province of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). To assist in deciding which organisation will take the lead in an investigation there is an operational agreement between the HSE, the MCA and the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB), which outlines the key principles to be adopted by each organisation when selecting the lead organisation for health and safety enforcement and accident investigation. To assist those subject to regulation the agreement provides a range of scenarios, advice and guidance on which organisation will take the lead following an accident or incident. However, whether working on land, or on board a vessel, the provision and use of work equipment is regulated under both European and UK law. Whilst different legislation and guidelines are in place for the use of equipment on ships as opposed to on land or fixed structures, the principles are the same and a breach of the relevant legislation can result in criminal prosecution, as well as the potential for invalidating any insurance policy p36 | www.dockyard-mag.com | January 2017

that may be in place. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations are commonly known as PUWER, whether on land or at sea. Work equipment and machinery is equipment that is used every day in the workplace and can include small appliances and work tools, through to larger appliances, such as lathes, machine tools, cleaning equipment and indeed any machinery, appliance, apparatus or tool or installation for use at work. On land, the regulations are known as the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and came into force on 5 December 1998. At sea they are known as the Merchant Shipping and Vessels (Provision and Use of Work Equipment (Regulation 2006)) and came into force on 24 November 2006. Guidance for the terrestrial environment can be obtained from the Health & Safety Executive website and in the marine environment, reference should be made to Marine Guidance Note 331(M + F). In accordance with the EC Directive, the regulations do not prescribe exact measures to be taken by employers but place the onus on the employer to ensure that all work equipment is appropriate for its intended purpose and is safe to use. At the same time, the employer must also have regard to the general provisions of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 or in the marine environment,

the Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Health and Safety at Work) Regulations 1997, which set out the general requirements for health and safety at work. In addition, as on land, there are additional regulations relating to lifting operations and lifting equipment (LOLER), again, with specific legislation relating to LOLER on land and again at sea. Appropriate guidance can be obtained from the HSE website or in the marine environment, under Marine Guidance Note 332. Basic principles of PUWER include appropriate inspection of work equipment at regular intervals; regular maintenance; appropriate training for its use; appropriate marking as to safe working loads or particular work uses; and, the appropriate planning and risk assessment of operation or considerations. All of the above should, of course, be properly recorded so that evidence of compliance can be demonstrated. New sentencing guidelines for Health and Safety breaches came into force in early 2016 and we are already seeing that breaches of health and safety legislation including PUWER and LOLER are resulting in increased penalties, including personal liability for directors and in the most serious cases, imprisonment for such individuals. It is therefore vital that those who supply work equipment are not only fully aware of their responsibilities but carry those responsibilities through.

JW Fishers Develop New Underwater Metal Detector JW Fishers Mfg., a company specializing in the design and manufacture of underwater search equipment for almost 50 years, is introducing a new underwater metal detector for 2017. The SAR-1 Search and Recovery metal detector was developed as a result of significant customer feedback and extensive product testing. This new detector was specially designed for use by public safety dive teams, law enforcement agencies and military units that need to locate metal objects in poor visibility underwater environments. The SAR-1 alterts the operator to the presence of metal by vibration which is transmitted through the handle. Even in zero visibility, the user can feel the intense vibration conducted through the detector’s handle and into the diver’s arm. In addition to vibration, the detector also has a high intensity LED display which is directly in front of the diver’s face and easy to see in all but the worst conditions.

Other key features of the SAR-1 are it’s “snareless” design with no external wires or cables, rugged construction, streamlined configuration, and bright yellow search coil which helps guide the operator to the target in low viz environments. The 8 inch search coil has excellent detection capability on a range of targets from small shell casings to weapons and explosive devices. Larger targets can be detected at more than 5 feet. The material between the search coil and the metal object does not affect the detector’s range. Whether detecting through air water, silt, sand, sand, mud, or rock, the detection range remains the same. The SAR-1 was first introduced at the 2016 DEMA Show, the largest diving exhibition in the US, and a show attended by thousands of industry professionals including those working as law enforcement and public safety divers. Many teams expressed great interest in acquiring one of the new detectors as well as several FBI dive units. The new detector has identical performance characteristics to Fishers popular Pulse 8X detector, which was rated #1 by US Homeland

Security in a comparison test of the top 8 underwater detectors on the market. The SAR-1 not only appealed to the police and public safety divers at the show, a number of marine archaeologists and commercial diving companies were also excited about the possibility of using this new detector in their search operations. The SAR-1 has rechargeable batteries which power the detector for up to 12 hours. Use the detector all day long, recharge overnight, and you’re ready for another full day of detecting. Unlike some manufacturer’s that void the warranty on their detectors if the housing is ever opened, Fishers allows batteries to be field replaceable by the customer should it ever be required. The SAR-1 comes with 120 volt AC and 12 volt DC battery chargers, and a heavy duty Cordura nylon carry bag. Fishers is now accepting orders for this incredible detector, and will be shipping the new model in January.

Wind farm workers who can also save lives Paramedics who double as technicians are set to be introduced to offshore wind farms in an initiative backed by an innovation funding pot. Experienced life-savers are being trained for operational duties on remote turbines so they can carry out a combined maintenance and medical role. The pioneering concept is being brought to the emerging wind farm hub of East Anglia by SSI Energy, thanks to a £50,000 grant from the SCORE (Supply Chain innovation for Offshore Renewable Energy) scheme which promotes new ideas and efficiency improvements in offshore renewables. Under the venture, fully-equipped technician paramedics will be able to tackle medical emergencies such as strokes, heart and asthma attacks and anaphylactic shock, as well as the full range of traumatic p42 | www.dockyard-mag.com | January 2017

emergencies including open fracture, and falls from height. It provides a significantly higher-grade service to that offered currently. At present the only medical cover is provided by fellow technicians who are required to undergo only the two-day GWO (Global Wind Organisation) first aid course, compared to the four years of paramedics. This service enables patients and casualties to get expert help in the first “golden hour” which is vital to boosting chances of recovery. The requirement to have a medic has been typical in the oil and gas industry for the last 30 years, with a medic, or in some cases a doctor, based on the platform, rig or vessel. With wind farms being built further offshore than ever before, the need for having greater medical protection is exactly the same. Earlier this year SSI medic technician Peter Lane saved a colleague who was taken ill at a wind

turbine training centre in Ireland. The medic spotted the symptoms, realised it was a heart attack, and drove him to a filling station seven miles away to rendezvous with an ambulance. The casualty twice went into cardiac arrest at the garage, but Mr Lane had grabbed a defibrillator from the training centre, shocked him back to life and gave CPR resuscitation until the casualty was sufficiently stabilised to be able to able to be moved to hospital. The casualty has made a full recovery after having stents fitted to his heart. SCORE offers grants to help companies across England to develop new products, processes and ideas – from patenting a product to exploring concepts that offer new ways of solving problems and driving efficiency in offshore renewables. Grants are available to start-up and established companies for up to 40% of eligible costs or £50,000, whichever is the lower, with a minimum grant of £2,500.

First award from £6m offshore renewables grant fund One of the most exciting projects breaking new ground in cost-cutting and greater efficiency in offshore wind has won the first award from a new £6m grant fund. GreenSpur Renewables has been awarded £50,000 from the SCORE fund to fuel its vision to have its low cost direct drive permanent magnet generator (DD-PMG) in test at the 10MW plus level by the early 2020s. The fund’s first grant panel meeting at renewables hub OrbisEnergy in Lowestoft was so impressed with the progress of the company’s ‘USP’ – using ferrites to create the magnetic field instead of expensive rare earth sources currently used – it awarded it the largest grant. Ferrites are abundant, accessible and cheap to source, promising huge savings for the sector. Using ferrites could also eliminate the industrywide reliance on Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB), the scarce and expensive, rare magnet used in existing generator designs. The cash injection will now allow GreenSpur to build a 50kW generator, 25 times bigger than its original 2KW prototype, created two years ago with the help of an earlier SCORE grant. It plans to have completed its 50kW generator by early 2017. The company then plans to focus on fasttracking its development to reach the 1MW level. This is seen by the industry as a key stepping stone to much larger units in the 6MW to 15MW range, which GreenSpur plans to have available from the early 2020s onwards. Andrew Hine, co-director of the Southendbased company, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded the new SCORE grant, which will enable us to demonstrate the scaling potential of our technology. We are now building a 50kW unit and leveraging the knowledge gained from our 2kW prototype unit. Going from 2kW to 1MW without any steps in between is not practical. Starting at the 50kw level is a sensible step. It will help us de-risk future scaling initiatives.” His co-director and inventor of the technology, Hugh-Peter Kelly, is a recognised international expert in electro-magnetic design, who has had over 70 patents granted in international markets. They informed the panel that their DD-PMG will provide a cost effective solution for developers seeking to upscale output and accelerate growth.

GreenSpur are now actively engaging with the market with the objective of establishing a formal development partnership to take the technology to the multi-MW levels. Rob Bush, SCORE Project Manager, said the Green Spur project was one of the most exciting “game changers” in current offshore wind research. “Using ferrites would have a huge impact on the cost of offshore wind and the research in this project is unique. The panel was so impressed with the research so far and the potential is immense. “It was a unanimous decision for GreenSpur to have the first award of the maximum SCORE grant of £50,000.” SCORE (Supply Chain innovation for Offshore Renewable Energy) offers grants of up to £50,000 to help companies across England to develop new products, processes and ideas – from patenting a product to exploring concepts that offer new ways of solving problems and driving efficiency in offshore renewables. Grants are available for up to 40% of eligible costs or £50,000, whichever is the lower, with a minimum grant of £2,500. Companies can also access up to 12hrs of subsidised business support from Nwes to help grow and develop their business. GreenSpur’s first SCORE grant two years ago was for a proof of concept project, Mr Hine said. “It enabled us to conduct fundamental research on the design concept, which led to the construction of our prototype.” Using ferrites as an alternative to NdFeB promised huge savings. Security of NdFeB is a major risk issue. Almost 95% of global rare earth market production originates from China and is in high demand from other powerful industries, including defence, aerospace, electrical vehicles, medical, computing and mobile phones. GreenSpur’s objective at the outset was to research, design and build a direct drive permanent magnet generator that could deliver comparable output at a comparable weight to existing DD-PMGs. Mr Kelly said: “I was convinced that if we could accomplish this that we would be able to deliver significant cost savings. We have achieved our

initial objective and have confirmed that ferrite magnets now provide a viable alternative for direct drive permanent magnet generators!” “Our generator has been designed for low cost, high volume manufacture and will be brought to market via strategic relationships with global manufacturing and supply chain partners.” Winning a SCORE grant encourages the confidence of private investors, Mr Hine said. “Investors are not short of people approaching them with great ideas. You have to make your proposition attractive and where technology is involved some sort of industry endorsement is invaluable. We had some private investors interested in our technology, but things changed for the better when we obtained our original SCORE grant. It enabled us to close our first funding round.” “The message to small companies is that by utilising SCORE and the support of OrbisEnergy you make yourself an attractive investment proposition to the business angel and seed investor communities. As an SME trying to bring an innovation to market this financial and practical support is invaluable. Without it I doubt that we would have been able to get our project started” *Find out more about the SCORE project at an information event at Beacon Innovation Centre, Beacon Park, Gorleston, on January 12.

industry round-up

Leading experts at BIMCO seminar say maritime crime increasing Our vision is to be the chosen partner trusted to provide leadership to the global industry. Our mission is to provide expert knowledge and practical advice to safeguard and add value to our members’ businesses.

Industry security experts have concluded that maritime crime will not be stopped any time soon – and that cyber incidents would continue to expand in frequency and severity. This was the consensus at BIMCO’s first ever Maritime Security Seminar in Copenhagen yesterday.

A key note address was given by Jim Bergeron, the Political Advisor to the Commander NATO Maritime Forces at a reception hosted by the Secretary General of BIMCO, Angus Frew. Giles Noakes, Head of Security at BIMCO, said:

BIMCO’s four core service areas provide value and trusted support to our members:

There was further consensus that regional instability in the Horn of Africa confirms the need to retain legacy systems such as the Maritime Security Centre – Horn of Africa (MSCHOA) and the Shared Awareness and Deconfliction (SHADE) initiative to continue to deter piracy.

It was extremely valuable to gather leading security experts together at BIMCO to discuss these global issues.

1. Our products include BIMCO’s world leading standard contracts and clauses for the shipping industry and our contract editor IDEA. We also run the BIMCO Shipping KPI System which can be used to benchmark ships’ operational performance. 2. Regulation: BIMCO takes an active role on behalf of shipowners during discussions and decisions with global and regional regulators. We work towards a level playing field for shipping – including fair trade and open access to markets. 3. Information and advice: we deal with 10,000 member queries every year on many issues and see over three million page views on our website each year. Our staff share their expert knowledge with members, giving practical advice to safeguard and add value to their businesses. 4. Our training activities include faceto-face courses, eLearning, webinars and tailor-made courses for companies.

The seminar gathered together a large cross section of leading stakeholders involved with the maritime security domain to address a broad range of topics focusing on piracy, terrorism and other illegal maritime activities, including attacks on cyber security. Representatives from the shipping industry and their CSOs had the opportunity to discuss key security issues with the interested and supporting government agencies from the US, France, the UK, Denmark and Norway. The discussion ranged across insurance, legal, military, flag state, private security and intelligence worlds, focusing on current threats and the most pressing issues.

The message was clear: the maritime industry must not to take short cuts when implementing security procedures. It’s crucial to keep sharing information to encourage all stakeholders to maintain maritime domain awareness and to train personnel to recognise threats - this will reduce the severity of future incidents. About BIMCO BIMCO is the world’s largest international shipping association, with 2,200 members in around 130 countries. Our global membership includes shipowners, operators, managers, brokers and agents.

CWIND PROVIDES ROV SUBSEA INSPECTIONS FOR E.ON AT AMRUMBANK WEST CWind, a leading provider of services to the offshore wind industry, has completed a key project for E.ON, site wind farm owner, to undertake inspections of the monopiles, scour protection and cables at a number of locations at Amrumbank West offshore wind farm off the coast of Germany. The V8 Ocean Modules Inspection Class ROV was deployed from one of CWind’s

22 strong-fleet to conduct the survey. The ROV was fitted with a super high definition camera and provided clear survey results, even in poor conditions and low visibility. CWind subsequently provided comprehensive reporting on the findings for E.ON.

We have worked with E.ON on a range of contracts in the UK and this contract extends our working relationship to support

their operations in Germany. CWind has well developed subsea survey capabilities and we were happy to support E.ON on this project by providing detailed information which will enable them to make sound decisions on the future O&M requirements at the site. Lee Andrews, Managing Director CWind.
