This is something that the industry hasn’t even contemplated since 2014.” As “compelling evidence of improving market conditions,” Thigpen pointed to the recent three-well contract for the warm-stacked Deepwater Asgard drillship. Compelling indeed.

Why is it so hard to find workers?

Coming out ahead

have a simple theory about why our industry is having such a hard time finding workers: pay and benefits. This pandemic has forced people to stop, look around, and re-evaluate their professional choices. For many it was a real eye-opener. I’ve heard the port engineers and company management personnel complain and moan for years about finding “good people.” It’s a bunch of bologna. Stagnant worker wages for decades and insufficient health and welfare benefits are the real problems. Why would a young person want to invest four to six years of their life to become a journey tradesperson and work in a hazardous environment, when they are taking home the same pay (or close to the same) as someone who works in a Starbucks? It’s unrealistic. Time and time again, I have seen commercial marine companies take this path. They’ll offer the same wages to office staff (who are much easier to replace) that they offer to shipyard workers. Basically, it’s a scam, and when they’re called out on it they make up lies and false equivalencies to deny their responsibility for creating this problem. Well, the cat is out of the bag.

n Capt. Alan Bernstein’s May 2021 column (“Should we be optimistic about 2021?”), my father told my brothers and sisters the same thing. (When you are in business you need to put a smile on your face, be cheerful and be nice to people. Most of all, you must respect your customers’ needs and wants. If you do this, then you’ll come out ahead every time.) They have been operating two grocery stores in Copemish and Honor, Mich. I am the only one not in the grocery business. They are selling one store but keeping the other one. Unfortunately, I think that these ideas have been lost today. Covid-19 has something to do with this.

On the Water

Sleep and the back watch By Joel Milton

s the year’s longest days arrive in the Northern Hemisphere, on either side of the summer solstice, we enter the worst time for standing the back watch. Why? Sleep, or the lack of it, on an unnatural timetable that defies all we know about human physiology, the need for rest, and the negative effects of not getting enough of it. In short, for getting the sleep we need, sun exposure at the wrong time is bad, especially for the back watch. The back watch has historically been from 0000-0600 and 12001800 daily — the “wrong time” being prior to going to bed. Traditional six-on six-off watches are brutal schedules for humans, even in a low-stress work environment that isn’t safety sensitive and doesn’t demand a high level of attention and skill. Operating a tug or towboat? It’s none of the above. This schedule becomes significantly worse when you consider that during this time of year, the last hour or more of the night watch is actually spent being exposed to increasingly brighter morning twilight, dawn, and then the rising

Captain’s Table

Sharing our nation’s waterways safely By Capt. Alan Bernstein

he 2021 recreational boating season is upon us. With Covid-19, pleasure boating has become an extremely popular means of escape. Sales of recreational boats have skyrocketed, which means the number of novice boaters on our nation’s waterways will likely increase as well. This raises serious questions about safety, boater education and general boating knowledge. I support operators of recreational vessels. This is an important industry and a popular form of recreation for our citizens. But it is very important that all recreational boaters take a course in safe boating that will give them a solid understanding of the rules of the road. Unfortunately, many recreational boaters do not have this important foundation and, as a result, are a danger to themselves and others around them, including commercial vessel operators. For example, when I operate the Belle of Cincinnati on a busy weekend afternoon on the Ohio River in Cincinnati, I must carefully steer this 1,000-passenger H-boat through a cascade of recreational boaters that are scattered across the river. This includes racing sculls, jet skis, houseboats, speed boats and others. Many of these boaters appear to have little or no understanding of the rules of the road. It is not uncom-

sun. The unavoidable effect of this is to trigger the release of hormones that make it harder to sleep, precisely at the beginning of the back watch’s normal primary sleep period of 0600-1200. It’s pure genius if the goal is to maximize fatigue. And this comes right after spending most of the watch in a performance degrading circadian low window. It’s no surprise that this period is notorious for an increase in inexplicable accidents. There is a simple way to allow the back watch to get more sleep. Simply adjust the watch schedule seasonally to align with the length of the day by rolling watch relief times back, as needed, to get the back watchstanders below decks and in the bunk before the sun turns their own body chemistry against them. About 30 to 45 minutes before sunrise will do it. It’s really that simple. And what about captains on the front watch who just don’t care? Remember that your own personal safety off watch depends directly on the rest quality of the back watch. Joel Milton works on towing vessels. He can be reached at joelmilton@yahoo.com.

mon to find several of these vessels anchored in the channel, and some operate recreational boats at night without lights. When you add barge tows, two or three excursion vessels and several harbor boats to the mix, you have the potential for real chaos. As I have written before, the experience and skill of licensed mariners is why we have been able to avoid serious accidents. This is why the Passenger Vessel Association (PVA) is working closely with the Coast Guard and organizations such as BoatUS, the National Boating Safety Advisory Committee, and the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) to promote the need for broader education of the recreational boating community to encourage the safe use of our waterways. PVA is committed to working with all of these groups to educate boaters and prevent accidents. I encourage other maritime organizations to join us in this effort. Together, we can improve the knowledge of our recreational boating community. We in the commercial marine sector want to share our nation’s beautiful waterways with everyone, but we must do it safely. Education is the key. Alan Bernstein, owner of BB Riverboats in Cincinnati, is a licensed master and a former president of the Passenger Vessel Association.

he deepwater Gulf of Mexico may have some catching up to do but it remains poised to regain its moxie as the year progresses, with independent operators continuing to do much of the heavy lifting. “The Gulf of Mexico remains an important cash engine and a platform for higher return opportunities,” said Gregory Hill, president and COO of Hess Corp., which is set to return to active duty after taking a sabbatical during Covid-wrecked 2020. In the first five months this year, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) issued 16 new well drilling permits for waters deeper than 1,000', with all but seven awarded to independents. By contrast, majors obtained 11 of the 21 new well permits during the same time period last year. However, 15 rigs were active in the Gulf as of May 14, up three year-over-year, according to Baker Hughes. “Gulf of Mexico activity is expected to increase with several projects starting late this year and in early 2022 with awards expected in the next several months,” Jeremy Thigpen, president and CEO of deepwater drilling contractor Transocean, said in a May 4 earnings

The contract, which includes a 20-Oct one-well option, stipulates day rates of Nov-20 $240,000 for the first two wells and $280,000 Dec-20 for the third.

on a major development campaign in the deepwater Green Canyon. The project is on track to achieve first oil in the first half of 2022. Meanwhile, Talos Energy, among the Gulf’s leading independents, has had no problems acquiring drilling permits, despite President Biden’s posture toward 12 to obtain fossil fuels. “We continue 11activities in permits for operational 12 the ordinary course consistent with the 13 timing we saw in previous administra14 tions.

fter posting a small loss in April, the WorkBoat Index rebounded in May, increasing 3% or 94 points. Winners topped losers 18-7. Kirby Corp. posted a small gain during the month, despite reporting a $3.4 million net loss during the first quarter. The Houston-based tank barge operator cited the severe winter storm that hit the Gulf region in February and a pandemic-related drop in demand for barging services.

Now, however, Kirby’s various business lines are seeing higher activity levels and market conditions that continue to improve. David Grzebinski, Kirby’s president and CEO, said the first-quarter loss wasn’t a surprise but he believes “the second quarter will show a modest improvement as activity continues to build and we are optimistic there will be a meaningful improvement in pricing and utilization levels in the second

half of the year.” Barge utilization climbed to 85% in April and Kirby expects it to increase further to the high 80% to low 90% range as the economy recovers and refineries and chemical plants return to full operations. Such increased production bodes well for the inland market, and positive economic signs are everywhere as refineries are now profitable, airlines are hiring pilots, consumer confidence is up, cruise lines can start operating in July, and Kirby is hiring mariners, he said. Meanwhile, the cost to place equipment back into operation, rehire charter boats, train new hires and maintain vessels as Kirby ramps up operations will increase. “It’s going to take a while to get that up,” he said. “We’re going to have to expend some money.” Grzebinski said he expects inland market conditions to continue improving through the rest of the year and into 2022. — David Krapf and Pam Glass

Insurance Watch Start with the exclusions By Chris Richmond

hen a boatyard makes an investment in purchasing a building, most likely the company will have the structure insured. But just because you purchase property coverage does not mean that your building is insured for all potential hazards. Two big exclusions on property insurance forms are flood and earth movement, both of which can pose a significant threat to your building. First things first. (This is a long but important sentence.) The insurance definition of a flood is a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land area or two or more properties from overflow of inland or tidal waters, rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source, mudflow, collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or similar body of water as a result of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents or water exceeding anticipate cyclical levels that result in a flood as defined as above. If you have a bank loan on your property, most likely the bank will require you to have this flood coverage for at least

the loan amount. Coverage can be provided through the National Flood Insurance Program. Your premium will vary depending on what flood zone the property is in. While people talk about earthquake coverage, in the insurance world it actually is referred to as “earth movement,” with earthquake being just one of many categories. Besides earthquakes being excluded the earth movement list includes landslides, man-made mines, earth sinking and volcanic eruption. Depending on your location, coverage for this can be either bought back from your carrier or as a stand-alone coverage through a specialty broker. Sage advice when looking at your insurance policies: Start with the exclusions. While it is important to know what your insurance covers, it is equally important to know what your policy does not cover. Don’t think that just because you have an insurance policy that everything is covered. Have a conversation with your agent about your coverages to make sure you have what you need.

Inland Insider

New Coast Guard museum to feature inland waterways industry By Pamela Glass, Washington Correspondent

he Coast Guard plans to include the role it plays to keep commerce flowing and secure on the inland waterways as part of a new museum that will trace the history and varied missions of the nation’s smallest military service. Currently under development, the museum will be located close to the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn. It’s estimated opening date is in 2024. The facility will unfold around three themes and five story lines, including Safety and Security, Enforcers of the Sea, Lifesavers across the Globe, Champion of Commerce and Protectors of the Environment. Inland waterways and ports will be part of the Champion of Commerce section. It will highlight the close cooperation that has developed over the years with the inland towing and barge industry to ensure that products move seamlessly and safely on the rivers despite bad weather, high and low water, shoaling and other impediments to navigation. “Seven-hundred million tons of cargo is delivered by barge each year, and 550 million of that is delivered on the rivers,

which is $135 billion worth of products,” Jennifer Carpenter, president and CEO of the American Waterways Operators, said at a recent webinar organized by the National Coast Guard Museum Association to discuss the inland waterways portion of the museum. “So, it really is important.” She said the industry works closely with the Coast Guard to not only deal with resolving pressing navigational problems, but also to take the long view on improving vessel safety and implementing measures to prevent future crises. “Partnerships are based on trust,” Carpenter said. “You don’t want to wait for challenges or crises. You try to get together while the sun is shining and plan for rain.” The Coast Guard is the only branch of the military not to have its own museum that showcases its heritage and honors its service members, and supporters of the concept wanted to change that. Planning began several years ago with the goal of raising more than $100 million. But the project, which had an initial opening date in 2017, has been dogged by fundraising hiccups, missed deadlines and environmental problems with the museum’s planned site on the waterfront of downtown New London.

Offshore wind for California? By Kirk Moore, Contributing Editor

he Biden administration’s May 25 announcement that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management will open two new offshore wind energy areas off California to leasing invigorated industry advocates. But the prospect of floating, anchored wind turbines — including one potential 399-square mile area off Morro Bay — alarms the state’s commercial fishermen, and even some environmental advocates — in a state where protecting marine mammals is a policy and political priority up there with renewable energy. One key step forward was the Navy dropping its previous objections to the Morro Bay area. Top Navy officials during the Trump administration foresaw a loss of training areas but have decided to work with BOEM on planning. Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed $20 million for the state budget that he said will expedite environmental review for renewable energy projects. BOEM scheduled a June 24 task force meeting to publicly discuss the Morro Bay and Humboldt wind energy areas. Scheduling it for the same day as the Pacific Fishery Management Council’s regularly scheduled meeting was seen as a slap by commercial fishing groups, who have been scrambling to keep abreast of BOEM’s rapidly evolving West Coast wind plans. “It is inexcusable that BOEM, who has claimed to engage closely with the Council, would schedule a Task Force meeting during the Council’s meeting,” complained the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations. “Floating wind turbines have not been deployed in the scale being considered off the California coast. Far too many questions remain unanswered regarding potential impacts to marine life which is dependent on a healthy ecosystem,” said Mike Conroy, PCFFA’s executive director.

Emotional distress as a form of damages By Tim Akpinar

hen it comes to maritime injuries, the tendency is to think in physical terms. If a watertight door closes on someone’s arm, a court will look at the X-rays. It’s all very tangible. When it comes to injuries of a psychological nature, that’s when the law becomes murkier. Showing that you suffered emotional distress is not quite as straightforward. This was

Even environmental groups, always solidly behind California’s renewable energy initiatives, appeared to take some pause from the speed that offshore wind is gathering there. “We must remain vigilant in our efforts to ensure offshore wind is a net positive for California by also implementing robust environmental protections,” said Kristen Hislop of the Environmental Defense Center, founded in Santa Barbara after a severe 1969 offshore oil spill there. The half-century since then has left California with probably the strictest environmental policies in the U.S., including a focus on marine mammal protection. For the state’s Dungeness crab fleet, that’s imposed new rules for state wildlife officials to impose closures for avoiding gear entanglement with humpback whales. The close-to-zero tolerance policy shut the fishery down a month early. Among fishermen’s other concerns is that offshore wind construction will displace migrating whales closer to shore, with the potential for still more conflict, said Conroy. In a May 19 blog posting, Rebecca Loomis and Francine Kershaw of the Natural Resources Defense Council – a resolute supporter of offshore wind – spelled out a cautionary note, and even sounded a little like fishermen. “Once potential floating offshore wind sites are identified, decisionmakers should conduct comprehensive ecological studies of these areas. Such studies provide more information on the appropriateness of a site and establish multi-year baseline ecological data for assessing the effects of an offshore wind project going forward. Sites should be studied and monitored before, during, and after all stages of project development, construction, and operation to continuously assess ecological impacts.” Contributing Editor Kirk Moore was a reporter for the Asbury Park Press for over 30 years before joining WorkBoat in 2015. He has also been an editor for WorkBoat’s sister publication, National Fisherman, for over 25 years.

illustrated in a recent case involving the tragic Deepwater Horizon disaster. When the BP oil rig exploded in April 2010, distress calls were picked up by three people fishing on a boat about 15 miles away. Arriving at the scene, they were met with the sight of people, lifeboats, and fiery debris in the water. Due to the intense heat, they couldn’t get much closer than 100 or 200 feet. Running low on fuel after spending about five hours at the site in their rescue efforts, the three fishermen left. They later sued BP for negligent infliction of emotional distress. The fishermen sustained physical injuries that included burned faces, singed hair, scratches, bruises, and a smashed hand. But they also claimed injuries for emotional distress 13

due to what they experienced during their rescue efforts. BP moved to dismiss for failure to state a claim. The lower court granted BP’s motion. In other words, BP said there’s no case here, and the court agreed with them. The case was then appealed. Let’s look at the two tests applied by the courts. The first test was the Physical Injury Test. A plaintiff could recover for emotional injury if there was some physical contact. The contact had to be more than just “trivial.” The other test applied was the Zone of Danger Test. Here, a plaintiff has to show they were at “immediate risk of physical harm.” This includes both objective and subjective components. The plaintiff must “objectively be within a zone of danger” and subjectively “fear at the time of the incident that his life or person was in danger.” In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs argued that they were ob-

jectively under a threat of another massive explosion while carrying out their rescue efforts. They spoke of explosions every few minutes on the rig. They heard rumbling sounds deep beneath the surface of the water. Even the boat’s powder coating had melted in some places. However, the higher court upheld the decision of the lower court, siding with BP. What does this show? Cases involving emotional trauma can be difficult to establish.

PVA members wary of proposed SMS rule

Will SMSes be mandatory for passenger vessel operators?

assenger vessel operators want the Coast Guard to consider a number of options as it weighs possibly requiring safety management systems (SMS) that would affect the whole industry. SMSes are documented companywide procedures for ensuring safety in everything from vessel operations and equipment maintenance to incident responses and accident reports. Operators also say tools already are in place to reduce marine casualties, and, when existing rules are followed, vessels operate safely. More regulation is not necessarily a match for human error. And the cost to businesses, especially seasonal operators, could be steep. The comments are in response to an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) evaluating whether to mandate the systems on U.S.-flag passenger vessels. Long sought by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the move comes after several major marine fatalities — most recently the 2019 Conception dive boat fire that killed 34 people. Relatives and friends of those who died said an SMS would help save lives. Any SMS “will and does not guarantee flawless system implementation nor oversight,” said Capt. Dave Anderson, director of operations, Fire Island Ferries, Bay Shore, N.Y. “A responsible owner/operator does not need an SMS to conduct a safe and efficient operation.” “Hiring one more employee to implement an SMS does not sound like 16

a big deal, but for a small company such as ours, it would be a huge burden,” wrote Capt. Kevin Stier, who with his wife, Carrie, operates the 149-passenger riverboat Twilight in Scales Mound, Ill., which cruises the Upper Mississippi River. “We are currently having trouble simply finding bartenders and waitstaff, let alone an SMS ‘outside expert.’ ” — Dale K.

Initial California offshore wind lease sale set for 2022

he Interior Department announced in May an agreement to advance areas for offshore wind off the northern and central coasts of California that will culminate in the first California offshore wind lease sale in mid-2022. This is part of the Biden administration’s goal to create thousands of jobs through the deployment of 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind by 2030. These initial areas for offshore wind development could bring up to 4.6 GW of clean energy to the grid, enough to power 1.6 million homes. The Department of the Interior, in cooperation with the Department of Defense and the state of California, has identified an area called Morro Bay 399 that will support 3 gigawatts of offshore wind on roughly 399 square miles off California's central coast region, northwest of Morro Bay. The Interior Department is also advancing the Humboldt Call Area as a potential Wind Energy Area (WEA), located off northern California. These identified areas will enable the build out of a significant new domestic clean energy resource over the next decade or more. The announcement comes after years of collaboration between the departments of Interior and Defense to find

n May, the Maritime Administration (Marad) named 27 Centers of Excellence for Domestic Maritime Workforce Training and Education (CoE). The CoE designation recognizes community colleges and training institutions that prepare students for careers in the U.S. maritime industry. These academic institutions are located in 16 states and one U.S. territory. One of the CoEs, and the only one in Louisiana, is Delgado Community College. The New Orleans-based school boasts a state-of-the-art maritime training facility — the Delgado Maritime and Industrial Training Center. “This designation has been a work in progress for a few years,” said Rick Schwab, the training center’s senior director. “I am very excited about the opportunities to develop partnerships with Marad and other designated centers to strengthen training programs for professional mariners nationwide.” Simulators at Delgado’s maritime center provide hands-on training to inland towboat, tug and

VIRTUAL REALITY Delgado’s newest training tool is its 32-hour, Coast Guard- and Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW)-approved advanced firefighting course for those who already have taken the full basic firefighting course. The new course provides both classroom and an immersive experience using virtual reality simulation to prepare mariners in the inspection and maintenance of firefighting equipment and systems, as well as command and control of a fire situation with the final goal of extinguishment. “This is not for the greenhorns,” said Schwab. “This is for those that are already in or working their way into the wheelhouse.” The course is conducted over a four-day period, utilizing classroom instruction and the Netherlands-based XVR Simulation’s training www.workboat.com • JULY 2021 • WorkBoat

New boat will operate around the inner harbor of Tampa Bay.

CI Boats, Port Townsend, Wash., has delivered a new 32'×11' aluminum catamaran support vessel to the Tampa Bay Pilots Association. Designed by Foil Assist Cats with a 2' draft, the asymmetrical foil assist catamaran YBOR was designed for speed, fuel efficiency, and low wake wash for the Tampa Bay Pilots’ small boat program. It will be used as a support vessel around the inner harbor of Tampa Bay. Main propulsion comes from a pair of 300-hp Yamaha outboards with Yamaha controls in the wheelhouse. The steering system is made up of a 2.4 hydraulic helm pump, SeaStar power assist pump, and outboard steering cylinders. The boat has a cruising speed of 28-35 knots with a top speed of 40 knots. Not only is the asymmetrical foil catamaran designed to help reduce wake wash, it will provide fuel efficiency of 1.2 NM/gal. at cruising speed. The electronics suite consists of a Furuno Navnet TZT Touch 3 radar system, Furuno 24" NXT Radome, and external GPS antenna.

ith a contract in place to build a $330 million wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) in South Korea for the European and Asian markets, Eneti Inc. says its next goal is a Jones Act-compliant WTIV for U.S. waters. “We believe it to be one of the most exciting renewable energy markets on the planet,” said Eneti managing director David Morant during a May 13 conference call with reporters. “We are very focused on the U.S. ... and in advanced discussions with U.S. shipyards.” Formerly Scorpio Bulkers, the Monaco-based shipping company announced in August 2020 it was beginning a transition from the dry bulk sector into renewable energy and changed its name in February. Eneti co-founder and chairman Emanuele A. Lauro said they are following the global trend toward wind power — and bigger, more powerful turbines to be built farther offshore. “With this growth comes increasing maritime complexity,” said Lauro. “We’re making clear our intention to enter the U.S. wind industry.” The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is looking at as many as 16 proposed wind projects off the U.S. East Coast — close to the biggest metropolitan load centers — potentially making it “one of the most substantial offshore wind build-outs ever seen,” said Lauro. Eneti’s new WTIV will be built by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering, with delivery expected in the

Eneti has an option for a second vessel — looking forward to the widely predicted shortfall in WTIV availability, and escalating day rates as more projects are planned. Eneti's 485'×183' vessel, designated NG-16000X by designers GustoMSC, will carry a 2,600-metric-ton capacity encircling crane from Huisman, with capability to install future turbines of projected 15- and 20-megawatt capacities — lifting the generator nacelles up to 600' above the sea. The vessel is being designed for future conversion in liquid natural gas or ammonia power, with shore power connections for clean running in port, as Eneti’s wind power customers are looking to reduce their own emissions and fossil fuel use. The design calls for 4,400 KWh of battery capacity to reduce engine and generator cycling. “They are also deeply about what I would call the ergonomics of the vessel,” said Cameron Mackey, Eneti’s chief operating officer. With professional mariners, technicians and equipment suppliers all working onboard, safety and accommodations are critical factors, he said. The revenue potentials of such newbuild WTIVs are enticing. With projections of up to 5,000 turbines installed world-

wide by 2026, average global demand for WTIV services could provide work for 15 vessels annually from 2021 to 2026, and 20 vessels a year beyond 2026, said Morant. “The under-investment in this supply chain is becoming acute,” said Morant. “With day rates now around $200,000 Eneti can foresee them climbing to $225,000 in the near future and beyond,” he added. — Kirk Moore

Group, said that approval of the second ship was expected based on progress on FFG design efforts, as well as the company’s demonstrated commitment and follow through on capital improvements. “While it is good to have additional work lined up for our shipyards, I believe the most important aspect of this decision is that our customer believes that together we are a strong team focused on delivering a capable and adaptable ship that will serve well into the future,” Deste said in a prepared statement. “We made substantial investments in our system of shipyards in Wisconsin, so that we can solidify our position as a surface combatant center of excellence.” The shipyard received the initial FFG(X) contract on April 30, 2020, for the lead ship and options for nine additional ships valued at $5.5 billion. With a 26' draft, the FFG(X) will have multimission capability to conduct air warfare, anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare, electronic warfare, and information operations. Specifically, FFG(X) will include an Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR) radar, Baseline Ten (BL10) AEGIS Combat System, Mk 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS), MK 57 Gun Weapon System (GWS) countermeasures, and added capability in the EW/IO area with design flexibility for future growth.

The new frigates will have a combined diesel electric and gas hull, mechanical and electrical propulsion system, also known as CODLAG propulsion. The system will include a GE LM2500+G4 gas turbine and four MTU 20V4000 M53B diesel gensets. The diesel engines will generate a total of 12 MW at 1,800 rpm for propulsion and onboard power supply. The frigates will have a range of more than 6,000 nautical miles at a speed of 16 knots. The new ships will have accommodations for 200 — 24 officers and 176 enlisted crew. Another Fincantieri shipyard, Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding (FBS), is preparing to upgrade its shipyard equipment and facilities to assist with work on the Navy’s new guided-missile frigate. Although the improvements will be within its current shipyard perimeter, FBS is working with the city of Sturgeon Bay and the state of Wisconsin to ensure all growth is understood and fully compliant ahead of construction. “This opportunity to continue and expand the work we are doing for the Navy with the frigate is exciting for many reasons,” Todd Thayse, FBS’s vice president and general manager, said. “It gives us the ability to continue delivering naval vessels for the Navy and Coast Guard as we’ve done throughout our history.” — K.

River Recovery By Pamela Glass, Washington Correspondent

ith the country’s economic recovery from Covid-19 well underway, spurred by rising vaccination rates, massive federal aid and renewed consumer confidence, the inland barge industry is seeing a welcome uptick in business. After a gloomy year that forced a redirection of business plans, imposition of across-the-board safety and health protocols and for many sectors of barging a steep decline in demand for their services, the industry appears to be turning the corner. As the U.S. economy gains steam, demand for export grains like corn and soybeans, which have remained relatively steady throughout the pandemic, continues to be strong, keeping dry cargo barges busy. In early May, the Department of Agriculture reported that total barged grain

movements reached a record high of 14.5 million tons, 47% higher than last year and 33% above the five-year average. The increased rate of vaccinations and government relief payments has encouraged Americans to drive, fly and spend in ways not seen for more than a year. This has put refineries and chemical manufacturing back into business, pushing oil prices up and helping the liquid barge sector get its fleet back working on the rivers. Meanwhile, imports through New Orleans during the first quarter of 2021 increased across all industries, with improvements in steel and steel products, fertilizer, iron ore, aluminum, salt and bauxite, all of which are moved largely by barge to their final destinations. Overall, firstquarter imports were up 28.4% from the previous year, according to River Transport News.

After a tough year, the barge industry is ready to rebound.

KIRBY POSTS FIRST-QUARTER LOSS

irby Corp. reported a net loss of $3.4 million during the 2021 first quarter, citing the severe winter storm that hit the Gulf region in February and a pandemicrelated drop in demand for barging services. David Grzebinski, president and CEO of the Houston-based tank barge operator, said the loss wasn’t a surprise as the company was hit by declining volumes and pricing during the first four months of the year, while an unprecedented winter storm that produced freezing temperatures forced prolonged shutdowns of many customers’ operations. “These disruptions resulted in a significant decline in liquids production and volumes for the quarter and in some cases extending into April,” he said in a statement announcing Kirby’s 2021 firstquarter results. The company’s inland tank barge fleet transports bulk liquid products including petrochemicals, black oil, refined products and agricultural chemicals. The company’s inland barge business was enjoying a steady improvement in demand, which pushed barge utilization to near 80% by mid-February as the U.S. began to recover from the economic fallout of the pandemic. But that progress was abruptly halted when Winter Storm Uri struck Texas and Louisiana, causing the collapse of the Texas electric grid and forcing refineries and chemical plants to

POST-PANDEMIC PUSH “Our industry very quickly pivoted to the circumstances of the pandemic, just like we pivot to circumstances of high water, low water, ice or whatever. We tweaked policies and procedures to keep people safe and we were able to keep commerce moving without missing a beat,” said Jennifer Carpenter, president and CEO of the American Waterways Operators, Arlington, Va. “So, the safety situ-

close, many not resuming full operations until April. “During this time, refinery utilization along the Gulf Coast plummeted to near 40 percent, and as much as 80 percent of the Gulf Coast petrochemical complex was taken offline,” Grzebinski said. “Overall, these disruptions significantly reduced our volumes and operating efficiencies during the quarter. When combined with the impact of lower pricing, seasonal winter weather, and high-water conditions on the Mississippi River, inland operating margins sharply declined.” These factors pulled down inland revenues to $301 million compared to $403.3 million for the first quarter of 2020, while operating income was $1.9 million, compared to $50.7 million for the 2020 first quarter. Barge utilization, normally upwards of 85-90%, was in the mid-70% range for the quarter, after having plunged to the 60% range at the end of 2020. Kirby’s various business lines are now seeing higher activity levels and improving market conditions, Grzebinski said. “We believe the second quarter will show a modest improvement as activity continues to build and we are optimistic there will be a meaningful improvement in pricing and utilization levels in the second half of the year.” Barge utilization climbed to 85% in April and is expected to increase further to the

high 80% to low 90% range as the economy recovers and refineries and chemical plants return to full operations. Such increased production bodes well for the inland market, and positive economic signs are everywhere as refineries are now profitable, airlines are hiring pilots, consumer confidence is up, cruise lines can start operating in July, and Kirby is hiring mariners, he said. Meanwhile, costs will increase to put equipment back into operation, rehire charter boats, train new hires and maintain vessels as Kirby ramps up operations. “It’s going to take a while to get that up,” he said. “We’re going to have to expend some money.” Grzebinski said he expects inland market conditions to continue improving through the rest of the year and into 2022. Since there has been little construction of new tank barges and few barge retirements occurring across the industry during the pandemic, an increase in spot market pricing

ation and the operational situation were positives over the last year, but there’s no question that demand for cargoes moved by the industry took a real hit.” Barging “took an economic punch in the gut and we are now beginning to see improvements that we hope will continue as economic activity resumes nationwide,” said Carpenter, whose association will be holding its annual summer meetings in-person this year in Chicago after doing them virtually last year. “We’re really seeing this (economic) marching trying to crank up,” said Ken Ericksen, senior vice president and head of client advisory development at IHS Markit, Memphis, Tenn. “The covered barge fleet has done phenomenal with grain export growth and rising crude oil growth that will attract more production in the U.S. to reopen.

A robust infrastructure initiative approved by Congress will also help business by offering opportunities to move construction products like asphalt, he said. “We all had a rough time through this pandemic,” Grzebinski said. “I would say that the mood music from all our customers is about as positive as we’ve seen in years.” — P. Glass

into 2022.” He said the worst month for cargo on the waterways was last June, when a slowdown in demand started to hit river transportation. “June was an inflection point for the inland river system,” Ericksen said. “After June, total volumes started to increase.” Such positive economic indicators are encouraging barge operators to ramp up services, put towboats that were tied up back in operation, and hire and train new personnel. At Kirby Corp., which was hit hard by a pandemic-related drop in demand from the oil patch coupled with a crippling winter storm in February, barge utilization climbed to 85% in April, and barge spot pricing is improving, CEO David Grzebinski said during the Houston company’s first quarter earnings call in April. “We’re extremely busy. There’s a lot of good news out there. Our customers across the board are returning to profitability. You can see the refiners are making money now.

a slow and steady pace,” said Austin Golding, president of Golding Barge Line Inc., Vicksburg, Miss., which ships mostly oil and gas products. “Based on what happened in the first quarter (of 2021), we’re looking at improvements, but I think it will probably be a much longer recovery compared to how sharply things fell apart.” Additionally, he said, tax increases proposed by the Biden administration and more federal regulations will discourage business expansion and risk taking. NEW CONGRESS, NEW OPPORTUNITIES Beyond barging economics, the industry has a full plate of issues to deal with moving forward. There are many new members of Congress to educate about the inland waterways and the importance of funding them well, and the industry wants to make sure it is included in any infrastructure plan that emerges from Congress. Although the Biden administration is a strong supporter of the Jones Act, pressure is expected from opponents to weaken it or permit waivers. There will be new opportunities to participate in development of offshore wind farms, and compliance with Subchapter M towboat inspection regulations will continue to ramp up. The industry is working with other maritime stakeholders to secure $3.5 billion in federal funding for grants that would help ports and the maritime industry pay financial costs associated with the pandemic. Meanwhile, experts predict that the coronavirus will be circulating for a long time in the future, so barge lines must continue protocols that assure the health and safety of their crews. “A lesson learned from the pandemic is that resiliency still matters, patience wins out, and you’ve got to be nimble,” said Ericksen of IHS Markit. “The pandemic was global, not isolated to an area or region, and the barge industry has learned a lot and is better prepared.” www.workboat.com • JULY 2021 • WorkBoat

2021 POWER GUIDE

By Ken Hocke, Senior Editor

n 2021, the name of the game for diesel engines continues to be compliance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Tier 4) and International Maritime Organization (IMO Tier III)) requirements for what’s released into the air from these marine engines. MAN has added five new power ratings to its D2676 diesel lineup — 395 hp, 450 hp, 500 hp, 560 hp and 600 hp — to meet the new regulations. The new engines are targeted at wind farm vessels, patrol boats, pilot boats and ferries. MAN’s SCR (selective catalytic reduction) unit, which removes nitrogen oxide from the engine's exhaust gases, doesn’t take up too much space 38

in the engine room, MAN officials said. At the beginning of the year, RollsRoyce’s MTU 16V 4000 engines achieved Tier 4 certification. The company has been working on this engine for more than five years, with over 10,000 hours of field testing with SCR units. Jeff Sherman, MTU America’s senior sales manager, told WorkBoat at that time that, “all 10,000 hours have been without major incident.” Nevertheless, as part of MTU America’s 2021 engine list was this message: “The models/ratings ... for MTU America have not all been certified to the applicable U.S. EPA regulations under 40 CFR 1042, nor are they certified to the IMO requirements, and thus are not

available for sale until U.S. EPA and IMO certification is obtained. U.S. EPA certification is planned for 2021. Some of these models/ratings may be certified by the time this is published, so please contact the noted MTU America representative for further details on the actual availability of the model/rating you are interested in.” You can’t be more honest than that. Cummins had planned to introduce an EPA Tier 4/IMO III version of its QSK60 engine and a new engine — the B4.5 — at the 2020 International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans. The show was cancelled due to Covid-19 but Cummins went ahead and debuted the engines earlier this year.

Power Up By Michael Crowley, Correspondent

ummins is introducing its latest generator package this fall. It’s based on the Cummins B4.5L engine, a Tier 3, in-line 4-cylinder diesel that when matched up with a Stamford alternator produces a fixed-speed 76-kW to 129-kW generator or variable speed 172-kW generator. “It’s like a little brother to our QSB7 genset,” said Brian Pinkstaff, Cummins director of marine business, which has been a big seller in North America, especially for tugboats. “But we needed something smaller,” a generator that would fit into the limited space available in a lot of commercial vessels, whether in a newbuild or in an existing vessel as a repower.

The Cummins B4.5L engine is the basis for a new Cummins generator coming out in October.

While not as large as the QSB7, the B4.5L doesn’t give up any power to its predecessor. The B4.5L’s footprint is smaller (40" long × 34.6" high × 31.5" wide and 1,200 lbs.) than the QSB7 but it produces the same power. Pinkstaff attributes that to technological advancements, including the latest cooling and fueling systems. “There’s a lot of features on it, so you can spend your time operating and not maintaining.” He describes the B4.5L as “a dense power package,” meaning a lot of power for its footprint. The B4.5L generator also has longer service www.workboat.com • JULY 2021 • WorkBoat

Cummins

Generator manufacturers are offering new products with new systems.

KOHLER The key for Kohler to significantly expand its role in the workboat market just might come down to one word — PGEN, which stands for paralleling generation. It’s Kohler’s built-in system for automatically transferring loads between generators. Kohler generators were the first marine generators with built-in paralleling controllers and Kohler remains “the only company that can parallel generators without traditional switching gear,”

Kohler

intervals than earlier generators, due in part to its electronic fuel system. Depending on the amount of fuel that’s burned, the B4.5L’s life expectancy should be in the neighborhood of 20,000 hours, whereas five to 10 years ago a comparable generator would have been good for only 12,000 to 15,000 hours. Based on the B4.5L’s size and power density Pinkstaff feels it will see a lot of use on tugs as an emergency/harbor generator and operating at 99 kW would meet EPA Tier 3 standards. Currently, a B4.5L generator is being field tested on an American Commercial Barge Line towboat operating along the Mississippi River. Field testing started in September 2020 and by the end of May the B4.5L had about 1,300 hours. “So far the customer has been very happy with it,” Pinkstaff said. On another note, the more you can monitor your generator the better the chances of catching potential problems before you end up hauled out at the local boatyard for major repairs. That’s what you will gain with Cummins PrevenTech Marine, a digital remote engine monitoring system that’s due to be launched in mid-2021. If there’s a filter that’s plugging or anything else is going wrong with the Cummins engine, the problem is digitally analyzed and notifications are sent via the cloud as an email or text message describing the performance issue. You receive recommendations for the cause of the problem, performance impacts, service recommendations and how much time you have to act.

Kohler is upgrading its 500EOZCS generator with an aftertreatment system for IMO Tier III approval.

said Patrick Kline, Kohler’s regional manager. PGEN has been available about six years but only received ABS approval in late 2020, which, said Kline, opens “the door for us in the offshore and wind farm markets,” where there’s more of a need for paralleling generators. The ability to offer paralleling generators without the need for switch gear “will save boatbuilders and operators on cost,” since PGEN is a fraction of the cost of switching gear. PGEN, with a single communication wire, parallels up to eight Kohler generators of varying sizes. If a generator’s load is light, the second generator drops off. In contrast, if a lot of power is required, the second generator automatically fires up to meet the additional load demand. When one generator shuts down the other genera-

www.workboat.com • JULY 2021 • WorkBoat

tor automatically starts. That feature would come in handy in a towboat that suddenly loses both power and steering. “Instead of someone running down and manually switching over,” said Kline, “our generator has the ability to

automatically transfer the load in 10 seconds.” An upgrade to the Kohler generator lineup is the recently released 350-kW and 500-kW generators with aftertreatment systems that allowed the generators to gain IMO Tier III approval in early 2021. They come with Scania engines. For diesel-electric and hybrid power applications that Kline noted are “popping up everywhere,” a variable speed DC generator with a Scania engine became available in early 2020 that produces between 425 kW to 750 kW. Its part of Kohler’s TOPS (Total Onboard Power Solutions) program designed for fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, backup power and better propulsion response time. Kohler is currently working on what Kline refers to as “a couple of new products” that will likely be introduced at the 2021 International WorkBoat

er, a ferry loaded with vehicles and passengers, an offshore wind crew-transfer vessel or any other vessel working the inland or coastal waters, it’s imperative that critical information regarding your operating systems is easily accessible. That’s what you get with Northern Lights TSC Control System, introduced in January 2021, which monitors Northern Lights generators up to 99 kW. “We saw a need in the market for a control panel that would give the end user more useful information. It’s made for people who need all the information in one place,” said Adriene Riordan, Northern Lights marketing designer. On an LCD screen, the TSC Control System displays data critical to the operation of a Northern Lights generator, including but not limited to oil pressure, engine warnings and fault codes, customized warnings and shutdowns, engine hours and engine temperature. The TSC Control System comes with an emergency stop and a tracking log for up to 150 events. It’s passcode protected for the boat’s security, and in case of a major problem there’s an emergency stop feature. The TSC Control System panel can be set up on the generator, a remote panel in the wheelhouse to interface with a vessel’s multifunction display or set up several wherever you need them. The remote panels allow the generator to be turned on or off as needed. www.workboat.com • JULY 2021 • WorkBoat
