SHOW DAILY NTSB got help looking at El Faro

Sub M regs are already causing important changes

he National Transportation Safety Board could not have determined what sank the El Faro with her crew of 33 had it not been for help from experts in deep ocean exploration, said Brian Curtis, director of the agency’s marine safety office. “We never found any personal items from the crew,” Curtis said of the 2015 sinking of the 790’ ro/ro containership in Hurricane Joaquin. “We had no vessel, we had no survivors.” All that the NTSB and Coast Guard had in those first days was a recorded phone call from El Faro captain Michael Davidson to ship operators TOTE Maritime in Florida, telling them the vessel was in imminent danger. But investigators knew the El Faro carried a voyage data recorder that would have at least 12 hours of crew conversations on the bridge. “Now, we’re looking for something the size of two basketballs in the ocean, and we don’t even know where the ship went down,” Curtis recalled. The deep-sea collaboration that followed brought the Coast Guard and NTSB into close partnership with the

Coast Guard and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Two missions to the area of the sinking east of the Bahamas by the Navy salvage ship Apache and the Woods Hole research vessel Atlantis located the wreck of the El Faro in 15,000’ of water, the upper decks of the house torn off in the sinking, and finally the VDR itself. Retrieved in a third sortie by the Apache, the VDR was brought ashore and 26 hours of conversations analyzed – the key evidence for an investigation that brought 53 safety recommendations. — Kirk Moore

spection that reveals the vessel is not in compliance. “If there is a marine casualty, the vessel can be subjected to a Subchapter M on the spot,” he said. “Inspections are more rigorous than expected, and tugboats can be inspected at any time. I don’t think tug operators had expected that.” Under Subchapter M, operators must have a Certificate of Inspection from the Coast Guard to maintain fleet operations. Two options are available to help them reach compliance: under the Towing Safety Management System option, routine inspections of vessels will be done by an outside auditor based on a safety system tailored to a fleet’s needs. For operators preferring not to develop their own safety systems, they can opt to have the Coast Guard do the inspections. Smith said given the diversified nature of Stevens Towing’s business and the heavy paperwork involved in compliance, they chose Coast Guard inspections, “preferring to get third party inspections with no agenda.” — Pamela Glass

till-developing technology and markets for autonomous vessels could take the infant sector in unexpected directions, two leading-edge providers said Wednesday at the International WorkBoat Show. Thinking about mating solar energy panels and electric drives to autonomous patrol boats raises the prospect of picket vessels with ultra long endurance, said Chris Allard, CEO of Metal Shark, which unveiled its first Defender-class patrol vessel equipped with ASV Global technology recently. “If you take away the two to four gallons per hour for stationkeeping, we’ve done scenarios where it’s startlingly close to infinite,” said Allard. Autonomous functions will complement navigation bridge crews, effectively extending eyes and ears with their sensors, said Michael Johnson, founder

t’s only been four months since the new federal inspection program, Subchapter M, was officially implemented, requiring towing vessels to comply with a host of new rules to improve safety in the tug, towboat and barge industry. But vessel operators say this new regulatory regime has already caused important changes in the way they do business. The shifts are many: a decline in the number of towboats in the fleet as older boats that can’t be brought up to Coast Guard standards are retired; more expensive and extensive repairs to get boats into compliance; a drop in value of vessels not passing inspection and many being sold; and a rise in construction of new vessels to meet new requirements and replace those retired, Benjamin B. “Bos” Smith, vice president of operations at Stevens Towing, Yonges Island, S.C., told Tugs and Coastal Towing Program attendees on Tuesday. “This is what we’ve seen so far under Subchapter M,” he said. Under the new regime, which was published in 2016 after years of delays and public hearings, operators had until July 20, 2018, to get their vessels in compliance, but the required Coast Guard vessel inspections to check compliance are being phased in over four years. This has resulted in some confusion in the industry, Smith said, causing many companies to wrongly think that they can put off compliance until the Coast Guard inspection is done. But in reality, their vessels must be in compliance as of July 20 of this year. Some are discovering this the hard way. Should a vessel be involved in a marine casualty that involves dry docking, this can spark a Coast Guard in-

Bronswerk: Complete HVAC-R solutions for commercial and military vessels

Metal Shark to build 3,800-hp towboats for Florida Marine Transporters

ronswerk brings complete HVAC-R solutions for commercial and military vessels. With its know-how and expertise, Bronswerk manages the entire process from concept to commissioning including installation and through life support. The company’s portfolio includes all vessel types from tugs and ferries through LNG containerships and combatants. Some recent successes include Crowley’s Commitment-class LNG ConRo vesels at VT Halter Marine, the Olympicclass Washington State Ferries at Vigor, various tugboats, and the Alaska-class Ferries for Alaska Marine Highway System. Extending into Canada and internationally, Bronswerk is a Tier 1 partner to programs like AOPS, OOSV, frigates, corvettes and UK’s Dreadnaught Submarine. Bronswerk’s own OEM product line includes mil-spec equipment for the U.S. Navy. Bronswerk owes it success to innovative approaches. Involvement starts with Bronswerk’s in-house engineering staff

collaborating with stakeholders early in the design phase. This encourages a holistic approach and allows smart systems to be incorporated into the contract specifications. For example, Bronswerk’s Onboard Climate Controls, written by Bronswerk engineers, optimize system load by monitoring and adapting each compartment while communicating with modular equipment. Bronswerk has authored many white papers aimed improving safety, reducing energy, and decreasing costs of shipbuilding.

etal Shark Alabama, Bayou La Batre, Ala., was awarded a new contract recently to build three 120'×35' river towboats for Florida Marine Transporters Inc. (FMT), Mandeville, La. The four-decked, welded-steel, Subchapter M-compliant towboats, designed by John W. Gilbert Associates Inc., Hingham, Mass., will be powered by twin Caterpillar 3512C Tier 3 marine diesel engines rated at 1,911 hp each. Construction is underway at Metal Shark Alabama, with deliveries beginning in 2019. The contract marks Metal Shark’s expansion into the steel shipbuilding sector and formal entry into the inland towboat market following the company’s June acquisition of Horizon Shipbuilding, now Metal Shark Alabama. With that purchase, Metal Shark, known for its welded aluminum vessels, assumed ownership of a fully developed 35-acre Alabama shipyard with the goal of expanding its steel shipbuilding efforts. “The first step in bringing our Alabama facilities online was to implement the

technology, production and project management methodologies, and engineeringdriven processes developed and perfected during the course of building over 1,000 vessels at our two Louisiana shipbuilding facilities,” Metal Shark’s CEO Chris Allard said in a statement announcing the contract. “Now with systems in place, multiple new steel vessels under construction, and strong demand for our refit and repair services, we can proudly say that Metal Shark Alabama is fully open for business.” Metal Shark is aggressively recruiting in both Alabama and Louisiana to expand its workforce.

he use of synthetic rope is increasing in the maritime industry, replacing traditional steel lines for a range of applications. Vessel crews are putting these man-made ropes to the test on tugs and workboats, with many examples from harbors around the world, including on the U.S. Pacific coas. Modern harbor operations are fastpaced, with more than 125 container ships docking in Seattle each month, representing a 15.6% increase in the volume of cargo entering the port compared with a year ago. Cortland’s high-performance synthetics must stand up to the test of a varied workload and are always designed to perform as equal to or better than steel. As a global ropes and accessories specialist, we have been working closely with tug and barge operator Foss Maritime. Our Plasma lines are on board the largest tanker escorts in the fleet, the Lindsey Foss and the Garth Foss. These ropes are used for daily tugboat operations, crew training and emergency response. The lines are strong, yet light enough to float, and can be maneuvered with greater ease than steel. This increases safety by lowering manpower requirements per job and reducing the need for additional handling equipment. Plasma lines are manufactured to a patented design using an advanced highmodulus polyethylene (HMPE) fiber construction. This has better internal abrasion resistance when compared to alternatives, meaning it can safely withstand operations in the harshest environments.

New ABS model offers quantitative cyber risk assessment for marine Assets

Duramax Marine keeps it cool with revolutionary keel cooler design

BS has developed a ground-breaking new methodology to measure cybersecurity risk associated with operational technology, providing marine and offshore clients a calculated risk index for vessels, fleets and facilities. The index quantifies cybersecurity risk and gives owners and operators an actionable strategy to reduce cyber risk onboard a vessel. The development follows ABS’ twoyear research collaboration with the Maritime Security Center at Stevens Institute of Technology, the Department of Homeland Security and the Coast Guard. Until now, cyber risk assessment methods were largely qualitative estimations of risk based on three fundamental elements: consequences, vulnerabilities, and threats. While these elements are useful in conceptually understanding risk, they are not readily observable or quantifiable. To represent consequences, vulnerabilities and threats as calculable factors in a mathematical cybersecurity risk equation

for maritime operating technology, we refactored them as “functions, connections, and identities” (FCI), respectively. The result is ABS’ new FCI model (patent pending) that helps owners proactively gain control over observable contributors to cybersecurity risks. These risks in turn drive specific requirements, engineering decisions and resource commitments. The model focuses on identifying solutions that are computationally engineered, highly detailed and in context with the risks to be managed.

uramax Marine has engineered a unique keel cooler design that is expected to make a big splash at the 2018 WorkBoat Show. Duramax believes it is the most efficient DuraCooler keel cooler ever built. It can deliver more than double the cooling efficiency of their existing DuraCooler in half the hull space. The SuprStak DuraCooler is the latest addition to the Duramax Marine long line of custom engineered heat exchanger solutions, and the best answer for the marine industry’s ever increasing cooling requirements due to the introduction of Tier 4 engine designs. In addition to Keel Cooler technology, The Duramax self lubricating, pollution-free DuraBlue Composite Rudder Bushing will also be on display at its booth at the show.
