PoRt neWs Thames ship discount for environmental high performers Port of London Authority creates low emission discount The Port of London is set to become the first UK port to recognise ship owners committed to progressively improving their environmental performance, as part of a wider approach to reduce the port’s environmental impact. The Port of London Authority (PLA) is set to introduce a discount on port charges for vessels with lower emissions that meet an Environmental Shipping Index (ESI) score of 30, or above. The ESI, developed by the World Ports Climate Initiative (WPCI), ranks ships’ environmental performance based on factors including emissions of nitrogen oxide, sulphur oxide, and carbon dioxide. It gives a ready reckoner rating for ships that perform better in reducing emissions than the current International Maritime Organisation emission standards. Christopher Rodrigues, PLA Chairman said:

Shipping is the most environmentally friendly method of moving large volumes of goods and materials. Nevertheless, more can be done to make shipping even cleaner. As ships represent a substantial capital investment, we want to encourage faster adoption of new green technologies by giving an added incentive to adopt cleaner technologies. As Custodians of the tidal Thames, introducing this discount is one of the first things we are doing to recognise the uptake of new and green technologies. Our overall goal, set through the Thames Vision project, is to reduce the port’s environmental impact and this initiative is the start of that journey. Developed over the last 18 months, the Thames Vision sets out a plan for the river’s development over the next 20 years. It identifies potential for increased river use, alongside progressively improved environmental and habitat conditions.

David Balston, UK Chamber of Shipping Director of policy said:

Fer van de Laar, WPCI Director said:

The shipping industry is committed to leading the way on improvements in environmental performance and as such we wholeheartedly welcome the Port of London Authority’s approach to rewarding those investing to increase their fleet efficiency and lower their emissions impact.

The ESI provides a measure of the environmental performance of ocean going vessels. We are excited to see the Port of London utilising the ESI for one of its intended purposes, by encouraging shipping lines to improve environmental performance and to reduce the port’s environmental impact.

The Port of London is the country’s second biggest port, with 70 terminals, handling supplies of life’s essential: food, drinks, consumer goods, fuels, grain, cars, steel, building materials and more. More than 10,000 large commercial ships call on the Thames every year, carrying in excess of 45 million tonnes of cargo destined for consumers and manufacturers in the south east and across the UK.

THOME REVIEWS CYBER SECURITY PROTOCOLS There has been a lot of publicity recently about the need for the shipping industry to wake up to the very real threat of malicious cyberattacks.

IMO Ballast Water Convention entering into force in September 2017 BIMCO is “deeply concerned” that the IMO Ballast Water Convention will enter into force leaving shipowners without treatment systems approved for global use. Lars Robert Pederson, Deputy Secretary General at BIMCO said today: “The shipping industry need no longer speculate on a possible future date for the IMO Ballast Water Convention. It will come into force on 8 September 2017, requiring ships to be fitted with approved treatment systems to prevent the spread of invasive species via ballast water.” “BIMCO is deeply concerned about the prospect of our members having to install treatment systems now which later may not be approved for use in US waters. This is because the US has not yet approved treatment systems that comply to its own, more stringent, national standards.” “Shipping will have to invest significantly in the installation of ballast water treatment systems by next September – only to find the investment is wasted if their system does not meet US standards.” “BIMCO is also concerned that systems approved to the present IMO standards are not robust enough to ensure that systems onboard real ships perform to the regulatory requirements to treat ballast water. “ “We therefore call upon IMO to expedite the revision of their G8 guidelines for approval of ballast water treatment systems.”

Thome takes cyber security very seriously and continuously monitors its protocols and procedures to keep up to date with the ever changing cyber threats and technological advances in cyber security. “A significant portion of cyber threats arrive in the form of email so we have invested in a layered approach in our network security systems to weed out these increasing sophisticated attacks,” said Claes Eek Thorstensen, President of the Thome Group. “Communication to our personnel on the potential dangers is also key. We educate crew in best practise protocols and emphasise the importance of every individual to exercise due diligence when online either during the course of their working day or relaxing when off-duty. Moving forward additional security measures, such as USB control, are being introduced without compromising our day to day business operational efficiency,” he added.

UK Government Praises London International Shipping Week The UK Government has expressed its support for the bi-annual London International Shipping Week. In his speech titled ‘Maritime critical to UK’s future success’ at the UK Chamber of Shipping’s Inaugural Summit this week, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Transport, spoke about the event with enthusiasm. “Many of you will recall the incredible success of London International Shipping Week 2013 and 2015,” he effused. “I am delighted that we are already working closely in partnership with the industry to deliver a truly innovative and high profile week of events next year.” “London International Shipping Week 2017 (LISW17) will bring leaders from across international maritime industries together in London for a dynamic and exciting week. They will consider the challenges and opportunities facing the global sector as well as attending the many industry and Government events.” After setting out the Government’s aspirations to meet the challenges and to make a success of the opportunities ahead, Lord Ahmad encouraged the audience to seize the opportunity that LISW17 presents and to help make it the best event yet. LISW17 is a ‘must attend’ event in the global maritime calendar with up to 160 industry functions and unique networking opportunities predicted for the week in 2017 for leaders across all sectors. Scheduled for 11-15 September 2017, the week will culminate in the prestigious LISW17 Conference and Gala Dinner which will attract in excess of 1,000 guests.

ICS PILOTAGE, TOWING AND MOORING SURVEY 2016 NOW UNDERWAY The role of the pilot in mitigating the potential economic and environmental risk from todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large vessels is one of the most important in maritime safety. In recognition of this, the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has embarked upon its first comprehensive survey of pilotage, towing and mooring services provided in ports and terminals around the world. The aim of the ICS Pilotage, Towing and Mooring Survey is to evaluate the extent to which established best practice is being followed, such as that recommended by the latest ICS Bridge Procedures Guide. Masters and Bridge Teams are being encouraged by ICS to highlight examples of good practice which make particularly valuable contributions to safety, environmental protection and the efficiency of ship operations. The survey also provides an opportunity to suggest any locations where existing practices may be of concern. John Murray, ICS Marine Director explains:

Our aim is to establish an objective view of pilotage and related services worldwide, which will then inform our work on further enhancing application of existing industry best practice. The balanced feedback from the survey will provide invaluable assistance with our goal of continuous improvement.

Right: The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) Bridge Procedures Guide.

p8 | www.dockyard-mag.com | October 2016

The ICS Pilotage, Towing and Mooring Survey is being distributed via ICS member national shipowner associations to ship operators worldwide and will be available online until 16 October 2016. The survey is anonymous to encourage the widest possible participation, and covers a range of topics including the availability of pilot exemption certificates, conduct of pilotage

and familiarity with electronic navigation aids, towage and mooring services, as well as any incidents or near misses.

ARC WELCOMES COMMENTS HIGHLIGHTING RESPONSIBILITIES FOR KEEPING SHIPS SAFE IN WEST AFRICA Management company Africa Risk Compliance (ARC) has welcomed recent comments highlighting the issue of who should be responsible for ensuring the security of ships operating in West Africa. It was reportedly stated on the sidelines of the Safety At Sea Conference, that if Navies in the region can’t take all measures to provide security to ships then private companies should be allowed to do so. Following on from these comments, Michael Wingate, CEO of ARC - a management company that offers full operational support with specialist expertise in maritime security in West Africa - has praised the industry for raising the issue, and believes that shipping needs to act in support of the provision of security in the region.

I agree with the comments p10 | www.dockyard-mag.com | October 2016

made, that we need to look at other alternatives to ensure the safety of ships in West Africa. The cost of the provision of security is being driven down by security companies competing for business, the shipping industry is going through a difficult period and then you have the added factor of the cost also being driven down by shipping companies, which ultimately means a lack of investment in security at a time when the industry is demanding exactly that. We are all responsible for the environment in which we operate and it is important that this is a collective effort across the shipping industry. Ultimately no one has the money to provide security to shipping. The security sector needs shipping to build longterm partnerships with relevant companies to enhance security provision within the region.

West Africa has seen an increasing number of security companies expand their operations to West Africa following the official reduction of the High Risk Area (HRA) off East Africa in December 2015. This has resulted in fierce competition between businesses trying to offer shipping companies the most competitive prices to gain a foothold in a new area of operation, which has had a pressing effect on the local businesses and the Navies. With four years’ experience of maritime operations in West Africa with roots in security, ARC was set up to offer shipping companies in West Africa an alternative. By diversifying its business it is able to offer full operational support and logistic services, shipping agency support, and a variety of brokerage services in support of local businesses and the authorities in the region.

New wave-piercing vessel for Belgium is ground-breaking for Baltic Workboats The first patrol vessel in an advanced new wave-piercing design has been completed at Baltic Workboats in Estonia. “Zeeleeuw” (Sea lion) is a 22-metre wavepiercing aluminium vessel that will serve as a multi-function patrol boat for Belgium Customs. Her unique hull design enables high speed travel through the most challenging sea conditions. The delivery of Zeeleeuw marks the successful expansion of Baltic Workboats’ product range and could open up further export opportunities for the company. Jüri Taal, Sales Director at Baltic Workboats, said: “The design and build of Zeeleeuw is an important step for Baltic Workboats. She demonstrates the advanced expertise of our workforce and the growing capabilities of our yard. We believe she will be the first of many patrol craft in our series of wavepiercing vessels”. Zeeleeuw has successfully completed sea trials in the Baltic Sea and will now join Belgium state fleet DAB VLOOT.

Noise levels have also been reduced for those working onboard. The maximum noise recorded in the wheelhouse was 62 dBA at full speed and 60-61 dBA at speeds between 19 and 21 knots. The vessel is highly fuel-efficient and consumes only 133 litres per hour at a standard patrol speed of 20 knots. She is powered by twin Volvo Penta D16MH marine diesel engines, each generating 405 kW @ 1800 rpm to rotate 5-blade fixedpitch propellers through ZF 665V marine gearboxes. This powertrain propels the Patrol 2200 WP to a maximum speed of 22 knots, comfortably exceeding the contract speed of 20 knots. Zeeleeuw is well equipped for her future requirements with Belgium Customs. This includes the installation of two radars – Simrad ARGUS radar for sea use and a special Furuno river radar. Both are viable on twin 24” widescreen displays also used for ECDIS. She also has a special office corner for the Customs procedures and a variety of rescue equipment for saving lives at sea.

The new type of vessel for Baltic Workboats is named Patrol 2200 WP and can be tailored to the unique requirements of customers around the world. It has an overall length of 21.97 metres, a maximum beam of 6.40 metres and a draft not exceeding 1.75 metres. The displacement at full load is approximately 40 tonnes, including 3000 litres of fuel, 500 litres of water and waste, and a 300 litre bilge water tank. The vessel’s innovative design includes a central wheelhouse so that a 5 metre rigid inflatable boat (RIB) can be launched from the aft ramp at speeds of up to 8 knots. There is also an underdeck messroom with a pantry and wc/shower room. Phone: +372 45 21 144 E-mail: info@bwbee

OWNERS MUST ACT NOW TO REDUCE THE COMMERCIAL IMPACT OF 2020 F-GAS REGULATIONS ON REFRIGERANTS The cost of refrigerant and regulatory compliance in the next five years will become as commercially important to vessel operations as regulations governing sulphur emissions are today, warns Robert Chesters, Managing Director Oceanic Technical Solutions. “If shipowners fail to make their plants gas-tight, they could face refrigerant cost increases of up to 20% when stringent EU Regulations on Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases (F-Gas) enter in to force in 2020,” he says. From now until 2030 there will be a phased reduction of the amount of virgin ozonedepleting hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HFC) placed onto the market. HFCs with a global warming potential (GWP) of 2,500 or more will be prohibited from January 2020 in new systems and for topping up of existing systems, although recycled refrigerants will be permitted until 2030. “Compared to the outlawed R22 refrigerant, which cost around US$3/kg, new refrigerants, such as R404a, can be as much as $25/kg. But this is likely to be dwarfed by the cost of the next generation hydrocarbon-type refrigerants manufacturers are developing to meet the new requirements, making refrigerant a commodity that really should be retained. “With a typical Air Conditioning (AC) plant aboard an LNG carrier needing a refrigerant charge of 600kg, refrigerant costs could escalate if the plant is not efficiently maintained. Owners must be aware that refrigerant is not a consumable in the same way as, say, lubricating oil, and should not need to be replaced. If systems are being constantly recharged then there’s a problem.” Chesters says that for many reasons the refrigeration plant currently falls low on the list of maintenance priorities but this will become a compliance issue within the next few years as owners become mandated to reduce refrigerant leak rates – as much as 90% in some cases. This will mean regular leak testing and greater preventative maintenance measures are required. “Owners do need to look now at how the p16 | www.dockyard-mag.com | October 2016

F-Gas rules will affect the bottom line. If they are already spending thousands of dollars on refrigerant, then this needless expense will certainly increase by 2020. But if refrigerant loss is not dealt with the cost of compliance will far outweigh the amount owners are currently paying for refrigerant.” With the anticipated increase in the cost of refrigerants the only guaranteed way to reduce refrigerant costs is containment. Owners can do a lot to reduce their refrigerant consumption by installing fixed leak detection systems, carrying out routine leak testing onboard and implementing full refrigerant reduction programmes. Chesters went on to highlight that recent marine refrigeration inspections carried out by Oceanic engineers suggests in some cases even basic maintenance is not being carried out. “We found that some vessels were experiencing repeat failures and a significant loss of refrigerant to atmosphere due simply to worn valve gaskets and ‘O’ rings, while other leaks were reoccurring because temporary repairs were being incorrectly regarded as a permanent fix.” Chesters also noted that some operators were running their plants with only 50% charge to limit the impact of increased refrigerant loss due to leaks and system faults and reduce costs. “But this is a false economy as it results in increased energy consumption, increased cool down time, increased wear on main system components and in some cases premature compressor failure.” The UK-based specialist also draws attention to hermetically sealed compressors usually found in packaged AC units. Dave Lloyd,

Oceanic Technical Solutions’ Technical Director, explains: “If there is a compressor burn-out, the motor windings will produce an acid which if not cleaned up correctly will attack the internal windings of the new compressor which will result in subsequent compressor failure. We have found this on a number of vessels suffering repeat compressor failures, but this can be avoided with the correct system clean up and burnout kits. “Generally, it is the lack of available time to carry out effective maintenance that is hampering refrigeration plant optimisation and this will become more acute as this part of ship falls under increasing regulatory scrutiny.” Chesters attests: “The new F-Gas Rules will place marine refrigeration high on the environmental agenda in the same way that MARPOL Annex VI and the Ballast Water Convention has changed the way in which vessels operate. The priority is on containment to carry out full plant inspections and optimise maintenance regimes, but this has to be proactive rather than reactive if owners are to reduce refrigerant consumption, emissions and associated costs.” Oceanic Technical Solutions recently carried out extensive inspections of refrigeration plants aboard three NYK-LNG Vessels and 15 MOL LNG operated LNG carriers, and is now planning to carry out remedial modifications for these vessels. Robert Chesters will be attending SMM and invites journalists to an informal meeting to discuss further the implications of the new rules.

LIFTING & DECK EQUIPMENT Nautilus Hook – The New Safety Standard NAUTILUS Rigging (UK) Ltd are the leading innovators of safe lifting equipment, the patented “Nautilus Hook” design incorporates unique safety features which significantly enhance personal safety for all general lifting hook applications. Setting a new workplace standard. Nautilus Hooks are widely recognised as the “next generation” of general lifting hooks, the unique design takes the evolution of lifting hooks to a peak level of development and sets a new standard for personal safety in lifting hooks. The integrated safety handle and side mounted locking mechanism eliminate the risk of, potentially serious, pinch and trap hand or finger injuries while providing the user a simple, easier, and ergonomic one handed operation. These patented safety features were the deciding factors in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers awarding the Nautilus Hook design as worthy winners of their prestigious, Best Mechanical Engineering Award at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston.

Managing Director, Bill Toon advised “We are delighted at the response and positive feedback that we constantly receive from organizations who have adopted Nautilus Hooks as the absolute safest type of lifting hook. Users of Nautilus Hooks recognize the immediate operational and safety benefits of the patented design features, in particular the combination of a separate safety handle and unobstructed handle space together with the side mounted, thumb operated, lock actuator provides a unique operating mode “in the plane of the hook main face” which changes the fundamental operating method of the hook, from the forward wrist bending motion of traditional hooks, to an ergonomic rotational wrist motion. In practical terms this makes the Nautilus Hook very easy to operate, giving the hook a “light” feel which is particularly beneficial in the larger size/rated hooks which, although a heavy piece of kit, remain an easy one handed operation to open the hook. Users comment how easy and quick it is to discharge the master link or sling from the Nautilus Hook, this is due to the unique internal profile of the load bearing portion which self-discharges the link or sling as the hook is fully opened thereby eliminating any need to “jump” the link out of the hook which is a known contributing factor to the wrist strain associated with the use of the outdated “latch lock” style traditional hooks.

The company has produced excellent short videos detailing the unique operational and safety benefits of the innovative Nautilus Hooks which can be viewed from the home page at: www.nautilusrigging.com Nautilus Hooks are available with SWL from 4t to 22t, with swivel, eye, or clevis tops to suit all applications. Nautilus Hooks are manufactured to international standards and the company provides fully certified chain or wire assemblies customized to your requirement or bare hooks to retro-fit existing equipment. For quotes or enquiries email: sales@nautilusrigging.com Nautilus Hooks are the cost efficient solution to eliminating risks associated with the use of traditional hooks, proven to significantly improve operational safety the Nautilus Hook is the new safety standard in general lifting hooks. By adopting Nautilus Hooks organizations can align best practice with the stated objectives of their corporate safety policies, and meet the regulatory requirements of PUWER 98 to provide the safest possible equipment that reduces risk, with the common goal of reducing risk and improving workplace safety.

New downlight for fire approved ceilings The new DL42 LED downlight from Glamox is specifically designed to be integrated into B0 and B15 fire approved ceilings. These are the most common fire resistance classifications for ceilings on board a vessel or offshore installation. The installation of downlights on board normally involves mounting heat caps inside the ceiling in order to meet fire regulations. This cumbersome process is made redundant by the new Glamox LED downlight. DL42 withstands the B0 and B15 fire tests: Additional heat caps will not be required when the downlight is installed in B0 or B15 fire approved ceilings. Excellent heat management It is the use of fire resistant materials combined with a unique heat sink solution that makes this downlight a perfect choice for B15 ceilings. DL42’s innovative heat management system transfers the heat via the mounting ring down

to the ceiling panel, eliminating the need for an additional heat sink. Easy installation DL42 is designed for easy installation. It comes equipped with self-tapping screws and pre-fitted cable and connector. This means reduced installation costs. Optional functionality The DL42-R77 comes with an integrated HF driver. Analogue dimming, night light or emergency light functionality is optional. DL42 is available with four different chromed aluminum décor rings. About fire classification In marine and offshore installations, requirement to fire resistance for the ceiling may be specified. The most common is B0 and B15 class. To complete the facility, light and ventilation are needed for the rooms. Those installations require cut-outs (recesses) in the ceiling

elements. A recessed unit has to be constructed from approved non-combustible materials in accordance with relevant requirements. The lighting fixture as a separate unit cannot be fire approved. It is the complete ceiling with all installed units that has to withstand the fire load test.

Lankhorst Ropes and DSM Dyneema Aid The Ocean Cleanup Project Technology Collaboration supports clean up of World’s Oceans Two of the Netherlands’ leading maritime and materials technology companies are playing a key role in tackling one of the world’s largest environmental challenges – removing waste plastic from the world’s oceans. Maritime ropes supplier, Lankhorst Ropes, and synthetic fibre specialist DSM Dyneema have collaborated in supplying Dutch foundation ‘The Ocean Cleanup’ with synthetic mooring ropes for a prototype ocean cleanup system. The Ocean Cleanup was founded with the aim of developing advanced technologies to remove waste plastic from the world’s oceans. The Ocean Cleanup The Ocean Cleanup’s cleaning technology makes use of long floating barriers which act as an artificial coastline. The V-shaped boom uses the ocean’s current to drive plastics along the barriers towards the center of the array, where they become concentrated and easier to extract. The system is powered by the ocean’s natural currents. The Ocean Cleanup has developed a prototype 100 meter long barrier segment to be installed in the North Sea, 23 km (12 NM) off the Dutch coast, where it will remain for one year and help validate the survivability of the system. Sensors will track every motion of the prototype and the loads it is subjected to. The data gathered will enable engineers to develop a system fully resistant to severe conditions during the cleanup of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. At the North Sea test site, conditions during a minor storm are more severe than those in exceptionally heavy storms (occurring once every 100 years) in the Pacific Ocean.

conditions. The barrier segment is held between two mooring buoys. Two types of Lankhorst rope are being used to withstand the mechanical loads and abrasion expected when securing the 1.2m diameter and 1.3m high barrier: Lanko®force and Euroflex®. Lanko®force is made with Dyneema®, the leading brand of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber. The 12 strand braided rope is as strong as steel wire rope but weighs seven times less. The unique properties of Dyneema® make it an invaluable part in the mooring system’s safety and performance. It forms the main line running beneath the barrier, connected to the barrier’s subsea bridal through a series of short lengths of Lanko®force, that transfers all loads to the barrier lines connected to mooring buoys. This rope provides the strength and stiffness needed to withstand the expected loads on the barrier. Euroflex® is used to connect both barrier ends to two mooring buoys anchored to the seabed by two mooring chains. The rope provides the flexibility and high energy absorption required for the system’s mooring combined with the high abrasion resistance needed for the tough environmental conditions of the North Sea. Lanko®force safety lines are also installed between the barrier and the buoys.

For Life’ sustainability programme,” says Hans Pieter Baaij, Commercial Director, Lankhorst Ropes Maritime Division. “In addition to extending the service of life of maritime ropes, it also includes the maritime industry’s first rope recycling scheme which more and more shipping companies are signing up to.” “At DSM, sustainability is our core value. We are continuously seeking new ways to improve the quality of life for people today and generations to come. To support this great initiative with our knowledge and technology feels like a natural fit. We have been committed to this industry for decades and will continue to do so,“ says Edwin Grootendorst, Business Segment Director Commercial Marine & Sports, DSM Dyneema. Through Life, For Life Lankhorst Ropes’ ‘Through Life, For Life’ rope programme gives operators a portfolio of rope service life support and sustainability benefits unmatched in the industry. From development of a mooring plan to rope selection and management through predictive service-life rope testing and training, Lankhorst provides complete ‘through life’ rope service with the benefit of longer rope service-life, easier handling and safe operation.

Lankhorst is also supplying a range of heavily discounted hardware including triangle plates and shackles which form an integral part of the mooring system.

‘For Life’ combines Lankhorst Ropes’ commitment to Green manufacture with extended rope service-life, and ultimately rope recycling, providing levels of sustainability that make a significant contribution to customer environmental policies.

Brent Delta Solar navaid system completed in eight weeks by Pharos Marine Sims Systems

Navigational aids specialists Pharos Marine Sims Systems has completed the design, manufacture and installation of a bespoke solar navigation aid system for one of the most iconic North Sea platforms. The Great Yarmouth team completed the project in just eight weeks as part of the decommissioning process of the Brent Delta, one of four platforms on the Brent field off the Shetland Islands, which is currently being decommissioned. The leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of specialist and bespoke marine and aviation warning systems produced and installed a customised solar-generated system of lanterns and radar warning system to lighthouse the platform. The team worked closely with operator Shell to interpret regulations that govern the marking of offshore structures during decommissioning to design the most costeffective, safe and efficient solution. Pharos Marine Sims Systems can cut the design-to-installation time further by keeping standard products and equipment in stock to mobilise swiftly once systems have been customised to suit clients’ individual needs. It is the latest bespoke solution offshore structure designed and made by the specialist company, which has completed more than 15 decommissioning projects with more in the pipeline in the SNS, North Sea, Norway and Netherlands. p32 | www.dockyard-mag.com | October 2016

David Mann, Navaid Service Manager, said the system was another Pharos Marine Sims Systems project delivered on time, safely and within budget to the clients’ requirements. “One of our greatest strengths is interpreting the DECC regulations that govern the marking of man-made offshore structures - IALA 0-139 and standard marking schedule, during decommissioning to design the best solution for the clients.” Systems must meet DECC regulations including, marking requirements, battery autonomy, solar and wind calculations, availability criteria laid out by the light house board of aids to navigation to determine reliability in order to determine MTBF (mean time between failure). “Our solar skids and systems are designed, engineered and built by skilled and experienced engineers. Normally this would take 8-10 weeks. “All systems are designed and manufactured and installed by our own engineers, with our systems being fully tested at our premises prior to shipment.” During the installation and commissioning phase of the project the Pharos Marine Sims systems engineers worked in tandem with the Shell offshore team to complete work to deadline. In the Brent Delta navigation aid (AtoN) system, two 10-nautical mile marine lanterns – with two more as secondary back-ups - were installed on two of the platform’s opposite corners giving

360-degree white light visibility. A Racon system- a radar beacon that transmits on X and S band to alert vessels of the structure - and aviation obstruction lights were installed on top of the two flare stacks on the platform. The AC inverter system will allow visiting maintenance workers on the Delta to have AC power. Pharos Marine Sims Systems has a long history of designing bespoke integrated systems for oil & gas platforms and, now, for the growing decommissioning market on redundant and mothballed platforms. As well as marine lighting, Racon and standby electrical power supplies, the company – based on Riverside Road, Gorleston, specialises in CAP 437 helidecks TDPM and Atex certified explosion proof enclosures including battery boxes. Darren Webster, Operations Manager, said: “The use of a standard design also allows for continued stock availability and to achieve turnaround times of a shorter duration. The seven week deadline for this project was short but completely achievable.” “We are now in the position where we can offer accelerated delivery because of the designs and equipment being available from our stock. “It is possible we will get 90% of the engineering design done in advance of receipt of client order which enables for fast tracking from design to production.”

Underwater Video Aids Aquaculture and Marine Researchers Many aquaculture farms are discovering an underwater video system is a must-have tool for their operations. The camera transmits live video to the surface for viewing and recording allowing the aqua farmer to check the health of the finfish or shellfish, as well as the condition of the tanks, cages, or area where they are being cultivated. Operators can instantly see how the population is fairing, if nets need repairing, if predators have entered, the condition of ropes and anchors, the amount of waste material present and other important environmental factors. This allows the farmer to make quick decisions to keep his stock healthy, intact, and profitable. One company employing this technology is Grieg Seafarms in Newfoundland, Canada. The company recently received approval from the provincial government to begin construction of what will be the largest and most modern salmon hatchery in the world. In addition to the land-based hatchery, Grieg will also construct a number of sea cages in Placentia Bay where fish will mature until ready for harvest. The $75 million project will be a blessing for the area’s economy creating more than 1,800 jobs. One of first tools the company acquired to assist in this project is JW Fishers DV-2 drop video system which has a high resolution color camera mounted in rugged, corrosion-proof housing equipped with two high intensity LED lights. The camera is lowered from a topside vessel or platform and continuously transmits live video to the surface for viewing and recording. The subsea picture can be displayed on a TV, video monitor, computer, or Fishers VRM-1 which has a built-in ultra-bright LCD monitor and digital video recorder. The system will allow company officials to oversee the underwater construction process and prove instrumental when the aquafarm goes into full operation. Another Canadian company involved in p34 | www.dockyard-mag.com | October 2016

aquaculture is SIMCorp with offices in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland. The company offers clients a full range of services including environmental management, site remediation strategies and waste management plans. They have considerable experience working with licensing and environmental regulatory agencies, as well as extensive knowledge of environmental compliance monitoring, waste management and new site applications in each of the respective jurisdictions. “Our teams have worked with a variety of species including Atlantic salmon, Arctic char, Rainbow trout, Atlantic halibut, Atlantic cod, green sea urchins, blue mussels, sea scallops and sea cucumbers”, says Founder Bob Sweeney. SIMCorp’s clients include many of the marine finfish operators in the Atlantic region. The company employs teams of professional marine biologists and technicians who are fully equipped to work on all stages on production. One of the tools the teams employ is Fishers drop video system. SIMCorp biologist Janelle Arsenault routinely works with the drop system and reports, “it produces a great picture of subsea environment and helps make our job a little easier.” Aquaculture farmers are not the only ones getting help from these underwater cameras. CH2M, a multi-billion dollar company with offices around the world, offers a diverse range of environmental, engineering, management, and consulting services. They are ranked as the world’s top environmental firm and have a long history of solving clients most challenging and complex problems. On a recent project in Puerto Rico, a team of CH2M divers assisted government regulators by collecting sediment samples from the ocean bottom and sending live video of the procedure to observers on the topside support vessel. The camera system the team acquired for this job was Fishers DHC-2 diver-held video system with 300 feet of

umbilical and a VRM-1 recorder and monitor. CH2M biologist and AAUS Scientific Dive Safety Officer Lora Pride reported, “we are very pleased with the equipment purchased from Fishers. The video quality is great and the camera and monitor are easy to operate.” A few of the many other environmental groups and marine researchers using Fishers underwater video systems are Envitech Middle East and Environmental Agency Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates, California Dept. of Fish and Game, University of Maine, Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, Aquafact Environmental Consultants in Ireland, United States Environmental Protection Agency Atlantic Ecology Division, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab, Bahrain Center for Studies & Research, Virgin Islands National Park, Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation, NOAA Office for Coastal Management, Delaware Dept. of Natural Resources & Environmental Control, Flathead Lake Biological Station in Montana, Tampa Bay Aquatic Preserves in Florida, and Taiwan University’s National Institute of Oceanography.

MIKO HOLDS FAST TO MAGNETIC TECHNOLOGY Working in an industry that absorbs new science like a paper towel, the Oslo-based design hot shop of Miko Marine shows an unexpected commitment to one of the oldest phenomena known. The power of magnetism has been used for centuries yet Miko’s understanding of its properties means that it is continually finding new uses for it in the offshore and marine industries. Launched in 1997, Miko’s magnetic patches have been responsible for saving many ships and offshore structures from loss or expensive recovery. Strong, flexible and incorporating a powerful magnetic layer, the patches act like a sticking plaster. If a platform or a ship is damaged below the water line the hole can be quickly sealed by the rapid application of a Miko patch. When some cracks recently appeared in the hull plating of the FPSO Abo operating off the Nigerian coast Miko magnetic patches were used to quickly seal the leak. Normally the FPSO would have been taken off the field and the cracks repaired in dock. However, tests revealed that the Miko patches on the outside of the hull could withstand the temperature of the cracks being welded inside and the FPSO was able to receive permanent repairs while remaining on station. Powerful permanent magnets are also an important part of the company’s product range as they have so many uses. They need no electricity supply yet can be switched -on and off by hand and are available in versions with holding

Below: Miko MAM 003 magnet can hold 450kgs.

power of just a few kilos up to a massive 2 tonnes. They are used daily around the world by divers and subsea engineers who can employ them for tasks as varied as fixing guide lines, attaching instruments to subsea structures or anchoring ROVs.

Similar closures had already been supplied for Odfjell Drilling for use on its Deepsea Stavanger semi-submersible platform and their success proves them to be a practical and cost-effective option for such work.

Magnets recently played a vital role in the design of four sea chest blanks that Miko manufactured for Teekay Shipping to use on the former shuttle tanker Randgrid, currently in Singapore being converted into the Gina Krog FSO (Floating Storage and Offloading) vessel. Miko designed the sea chest closures so that they are quick and easy to fit yet guarantee the safety of personnel working inside. The blanks are shaped to fit the hull precisely and they are held in place by Miko magnets. They are fitted quickly and precisely over the sea chests by divers or ROVs and after use the magnets are released so the closures can be simply lifted out of the water and stored for re-use.

Below: Miko magnetic patches of various sizes.

As a company with expertise in magnetic sealing it has been a natural evolution for Miko to move into other aspects of leak closure. Now with products for sealing leaking fuel storage tanks or high pressure pipes, Miko ingenuity makes it an important ally to the oil and gas and marine industries.

Poltramp Yard selects non-weld sealing solutions Poltramp Yard S.A. in Świnoujście, Poland, used the new Roxtec SPM seals for the BoDo Constructor – a newly built offshore cable laying barge-pontoon. Poltramp Yard needed to seal the openings for a substantial amount of pipes onboard the large vessel, but in many places welding was not possible due to safety regulations. Poltramp Yard therefore decided to use the certified Roxtec SPM seal which does not require any welding. Fast and easy installation was another reason for the shipyard to choose Roxtec. Certified protection The Roxtec SPM seal can be used with any kind of metal pipe onboard marine or offshore structures to ensure protection against fire, gas and water. The solution makes it easy to ensure safety and operational reliability – without any downtime or cost

New Code of Practice: Cyber Security for Ports and Port Systems On the 16 August 2016 the Department for Transport and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency released a new Cyber Security Code of Practice for Port and Port Systems (‘the Code’). The Code covers the potential effects on a port or port facility of a breach of cyber security, including where it results in a loss, or compromise, of one or more of the four main types of asset found at a port (buildings, linear infrastructure, plant and machinery, and information and communications systems). Highlighting the potential to impact upon: a) the speed and efficiency at which the port can operate; b) the ability of the port to be able to safely carry out particular operations; and c) the health and safety of staff and other people impacted upon by

p40 | www.dockyard-mag.com | October 2016

In addition it contains specific advice on a range of areas, including: • Developing a cyber security assessment and plan for important assets, processes and potential vulnerabilities. • Devising the most appropriate mitigation measures. • Having the correct governance structures, roles, responsibilities and processes. • Handling security breaches and incidents. • Highlighting national and international standards used and the relationship to existing regulation. The Code advocates a coherent, port-wide based approach. It should be used as an integral part of an organisation’s overall risk management system and subsequent business planning. It is designed to complement existing Port Security Standards (e.g. the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, which was incorporated by the European Commission (EC) into EC Regulation 725/2004 and maritime security regulatory material published by the UK Department for Transport) by providing

additional guidance on the cyber-related aspects. The Code is intended for use by those with responsibility for protecting the port / port facility and ships (when docked or berthed), persons, cargo, cargo transport units and ship’s stores within the port from the risks of a security incident. It will also be of interest and relevance to those individuals involved in: a) the financial and operational management of the port / port facility; b) contractual arrangements with third parties; c) determining policies relating to acceptable staff behaviour; d) the specification, design, construction and maintenance of ports; e) the specification, design, development, integration, commissioning, operation and maintenance of port systems, including associated software and technologies; and f) management of specific security tasks, including incident response and the handling of security breaches.

CHRISTENING CEREMONY HELD TO LAUNCH HIGH TIDE ADVENTURE PD Ports has christened the latest vessel in its fleet, High Tide Adventure, with Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council leader, Sue Jeffrey, proud to take on the role of its ‘godmother’. The Harbour Master launch was named after the High Tide Foundation, a charity co-founded by PD Ports to help raise the aspirations and awareness of job opportunities for young people on Teesside. Based at Teesport, it will also provide river trips along the Tees to school children, politicians and businesses to see the multi-million pound investments made.

This is an excellent craft for engaging stakeholders to promote the River Tees as a major hub of industry and a key driver of the economy. The Foundation has been providing a fantastic range of courses over the past four to five years engaging 4,000 young people and connecting them with companies across Teesside. This vessel is here to be used to promote the river and Teesport.

PD Ports’ CEO, David Robinson, who is also chairman of the High Tide Foundation this year, said:

Previously used as a wind farm support vessel, the High Tide Adventure was gutted and remodelled by a team led by naval architect Andrew Ridley from PD Ports’ Conservancy department.

www.pdports.co.uk

Redcar MP Anna Turley, Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council Chief Executive Amanda Skelton and Middlesbrough Mayor Dave Budd were among the invited guests at the ceremony who then sailed on board High

Tide Adventure to the mouth of the River Tees. Made a godmother for the first time, Councillor Jeffrey said she was delighted to have been chosen for the role before she cut a ribbon to break a sacrificial bottle of champagne over the bow.

The responsibility is a privilege and an honour. I think it the river is really awe-inspiring and with the help of the High Tide Adventure we will be able to show people what’s at the heart of the Tees Valley. The High Tide Foundation’s unique selling point is its collaboration between businesses and that’s very much what we are about in the Tees Valley because we know that none of us can make the area a success on our own.

ALE PERFORM LOAD TEST OF WORLD’S LARGEST CAPACITY LAND BASED CRANE The world’s largest capacity land based crane, the AL.SK350, has been rigged for the first time and successfully load tested. The crane was load-tested in preparation of its first lifts on a FPSO (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading) module integration project in Brazil. ALE’s AL.SK350 crane has been rigged in its current biggest configuration, with 49m ballast radius and 4,000t ballast. The main boom is a 130m long A-frame design on a very stable 18m wide base. The crane is equipped with a 4,000t main winch system and 600t auxiliary quick winch system. For loads up to 5000t a strand jack lifting system can be installed. ALE will use the AL.SK350 crane to lift and install approximately 40 modules onto the P-74 FPSO vessel in the South of Brazil. With its 354,000tm load moment capacity, it is the largest capacity crane in the market by a significant margin and it’s huge lifting capabilities enables clients to construct equipment for lifting weighing

heavier than ever before. Cees Segeren, one of the designers of the crane, commented:

By using ourinnovative cranes on other FPSO integration projects showcases our capabilities of the equipment in this sector. It’s fantastic to see the revolutionary AL.SK350 crane rigged for the first time. Now we have completed our final testing, we are looking forward to the first lifts. The AL.SK350 crane was launched in 2013 with a lifting capacity of 5,000t and a load moment of 354,000tm. The AL.SK cranes are also available in AL.SK190 and AL.SK700 configurations, achieving capacities up to 4,300t and 8,000t respectively. Furthermore, the cranes can be equipped with a 3,400t capacity heavy duty jib. The jib will be used on the next FPSO module integration project in Nigeria in the first half of 2017.

US Coast Guard type approval application filed for Alfa Laval PureBallast ballast water treatment system After successful completion of land-based tests with marine, brackish and fresh water – all using the current ballast water treatment system design – a test report package for PureBallast has now been finalized by the independent lab DNV GL. Consequently, Alfa Laval has filed its type approval application with the US Coast Guard for the PureBallast 3 family. Alfa Laval is headed for US Coast Guard type approval in ballast water treatment. As expected, the company completed all tests of PureBallast during the summer of this year. These were performed using the CMFDA/FDA (staining) method approved by the US Coast Guard and were conducted at DHI in Denmark. It is significant to note that the testing involved the same hardware, power consumption and flow as the already market-leading IMO-approved version of the PureBallast 3 family.

We were confident that PureBallast would deliver high-performance results without any change to its components or system design. Test results have now been submitted and they conclusively demonstrate that PureBallast provides reliable biological disinfection at full flow in all water salinities. The system has also met the rigorous mechanical and electrical testing verification schemes required by the US Coast Guard and IMO. Anders Lindmark, General Manager, Business Centre PureBallast. Alfa Laval has now filed its type approval application, including the CMFDA/FDA test results, with the US Coast Guard. The company looks forward to supporting

customers globally in complying with their ballast water management obligations as determined by US Coast Guard legislation and the newly ratified Ballast Water Management Convention. Meanwhile, Alfa Laval continues to support the efforts to validate the Most Probable Number (MPN) method, which the company sees as a preferable alternative to the CMFDA/FDA method for UV treatment systems. Alfa Laval’s decision to proceed with CMFDA/FDA testing was based on the importance of providing customers discharging in US waters with a type-approved solution as quickly as possible.

CARGO LIQUEFACTION A PROBLEM FOR BULK TERMINALS, WARNS ABTO CHIEF

Above: ABTO Chief Executive Ian Adams speaking to ICHCA members in London in September this year.

The Association of Bulk Terminal Operators has warned that cargo liquefaction – an issue commonly associated with the seaborne transportation of unprocessed mineral ores and concentrates – is also an issue which bulk terminals need to pay attention to. Speaking at the ICHCA ISP76 panel meeting in London, ABTO Chief Executive Ian Adams, said:

The liquefaction of bulk commodities is a serious issue which can and should be managed effectively shoreside. However, allowing ship’s crews access to stock piles to assess solid bulk commodities such as Bauxite and nickel ore is not the answer in view of the fact that stock piles have been known to collapse. Tests should only be carried out when the cargo has been moved for loading onto the vessel. At the 3rd session of IMO’s SubCommittee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers (CCC), it was agreed to draft new IMSBC amendments classifying coal as a Group A&B cargo and to push through amendments specifying that the “shipper shall be responsible for ensuring that a test to determine the TML... and that the shipper shall be responsible

for ensuring the sampling and testing for moisture content”. Referring to the on-going amendments to the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code, Adams told ICHCA members: “There has been a significant amount of time at IMO debating the IMSBC Code and exploring the use of a modified Proctor/Fagerburg test for coal as a viable way of detecting and preventing cargo liquefaction. Australia, Brazil and China have done a tremendous amount of research into the test methodology and we are now nearing the point of conclusion.” This test procedure details the laboratory determination of Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) for coals up to a nominal top size of 50mm. The procedure is based on a modification of the Proctor/Fagerberg test involving testing of a coal sample of up 170kg. While the IMSBC Code applies primarily to the seaborne carriage of cargoes, Adams said there is a “definite crossover,” but bulk terminal operators are often left behind during the regulatory decisionmaking process which, given that five billion tonnes of bulk commodities are transported annually, needs to change. “There has to be greater representation at IMO. Liquefaction remains a serious concern for all sectors of industry but there is no international

legislation governing the storage, segregation, handling and monitoring of such cargoes at the terminal – only guidelines,” he said. Turning to the issue of HME classification (cargoes harmful to the marine environment under Marpol Annex V), Adams pointed out that there is no definitive list of HME cargoes, and in his opinion, quite rightly so. “It remains the responsibility of the shipper to declare whether a cargo is HME and to source the necessary cargo residue and wash-water reception facilities,” he said. The certification of HME cargoes was also considered problematic, with ICHCA members commenting on a perceived increase in the number of falsified Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) Certificates. This, many agreed was due to the lack of mandatory procedures for carrying out TML tests and full depth sampling of stockpiles, which ports will restrict for obvious safety reasons. Richard Brough, O.B.E., Technical Adviser to ICHCA, said: “The tragic loss of the Bulk Jupiter, which sank off the coast of Vung Tau, Vietnam, in 2015 carrying a 46,000t cargo of bauxite, highlighted the need for all those involved in the supply chain to take responsibility in assessing the solidity of bulk cargoes. But it should not take a tragic event like this to be the harbinger of much needed change.” October 2016 | www.dockyard-mag.com | p47

RED JET 6 PRE-LAUNCH Red Jet 6, the latest addition to the Red Funnel fleet, was revealed on Wednesday 25th May as part of a large marine logistics operation in the solent. Williams Shipping was responsible for supplying a barge and tug boat to move the vessel from East Cowes on the Isle of Wight to Southampton docks. Red Jet 6 was then lifted off the barge via 2 large cranes, and slowly lowered into the water. The Joli L tug then transported her back to the Isle of Wight. The operation was a great success and brought together many of the solentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading marine businesses.

New Industry Report Confirms KVH’s Continuing Leadership Position in Maritime VSAT Market Northern Sky Research report shows KVH with double the market share of its nearest Ku-band competitor. The mini-VSAT Broadbandsm service of KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI), has once again been cited as the market share leader in maritime VSAT units in service, in a newly published report. “Maritime SATCOM Markets, 4th Edition,” by Northern Sky Research (NSR), a leading maritime industry analyst firm, reports that KVH’s mini-VSAT Broadband customers account for 29% of the vessels using Ku-band services, which is more than double the 14% share of the nearest competitor, as of the end of 2015. KVH’s mini-VSAT Broadband customers also account for 21% of the vessels using combined C/Ku-band services, with the nearest competitor at 15% share. KVH launched mini-VSAT Broadband in 2007, and has steadily grown the service to a dominant position in the maritime VSAT market. The company recently shipped its 6,000th VSAT system, as reliance on fast and reliable satellite broadband connectivity has spread throughout the maritime industry. In 2012, the mini-VSAT Broadband service first became the maritime VSAT market share leader according to leading market research reports, and has since that time reconfirmed that position in subsequent report updates.

We are thrilled to be recognized by one of the most highly regarded research firms in the satellite communications industry for our success in the maritime VSAT market. Martin Kits van Heyningen, KVH’s Chief Executive Officer. “We’ve always listened intently to the market and have continually improved our service to provide our customers with the connectivity and content services they need to meet their high expectations. I’m confident that our innovations in technology, service, and business practices will keep us on the forefront in maritime VSAT.” With its analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, the report presents a complete picture of the maritime market, including trends, issues, and the latest SATCOM developments. “As connectivity becomes a must-have in the commercial maritime industry, we expect a steady rise in VSAT-connected vessels by 2025,” says Brad Grady, NSR senior analyst, who co-authored the report with NSR analyst Dallas Kasaboski. “For both operations and crew welfare, maritime operators are likely to become more and more reliant on broadband for their vessels.” The NSR analysts also described an emerging trend toward maritime VSAT service providers developing value-added services and a range of web applications

to meet the increasingly complex systems and demands of commercial vessels. The range of web applications likely to be in demand by maritime markets, according to the report, includes apps for streaming media, e-Learning, network configuration, crew calling, and weather. KVH already has apps in place for most of these applications. For example: • The IP-MobileCast content delivery service provides large multimedia entertainment and operations content via multicasting technology to be streamed to devices onboard without data transmission costs. • Videotel, a KVH company, is a leader in e-Learning, with its maritime training services used by 12,000 vessels around the world. • KVH’s network configuration services include the CommBox Network Manager, which is built into every TracPhone V-IP series satellite antenna system, designed exclusively for use with the mini-VSAT Broadband service. • myKVH provides a highly visual webbased portal for network management that enables mini-VSAT Broadband customers to configure onboard networks and manage onboard data usage. • Delivery of high-resolution weather data from AWT is included as a standard part of the IP-MobileCast subscription.
