SEKIMIZU: Mandatory meas-ures were adopted by govern-ments within IMO last year and will require, once they have en-

tered into force in 2013, a pro-gressive improvement in vessel efficiency and a consequent reduction in CO2 emissions. But they leave it to the industry to determine exactly how the targets will be met. There are plenty of innovative

technologies that the indus-try can adopt to improve vessel efficiency and reduce CO2 out-put. It will be interesting to see which ones find favour.

What concepts do you envision for dealing with sulphur emis-sions, especially in ports?

SEKIMIZU: Sulphur emissions are regulated in MARPOL An-nex VI, a revised version of which entered into force on July 1st 2010. It requires a pro-gressive reduction, globally, in emissions of SOx, NOx and particulate matter, and intro-duces the concept of Emis-

sion Control Areas (ECAs) to reduce emissions of those air pollutants further in certain designated sea areas.To address air quality issues in a specific sea area, such as a busy port, any party to MAR-POL Annex VI may propose the designation of an Emis-sion Control Area based on criteria and procedures laid down in that treaty. Under the revised MARPOL Annex VI, the global sulphur cap is reduced initially to 3.50 per cent (from the previous 4.50 per cent), effective from Janu-ary 1st 2012; then progres-sively to 0.50 per cent, effec-tive from January 1st 2020, subject to a feasibility review to be completed no later than 2018. The limits applicable in ECAs were reduced to 1.00 per cent, beginning on July 1st 2010 (from the original 1.50 per cent); being further reduced to 0.10 per cent, ef-fective from January 1st 2015.Again, these measures do not prescribe exactly how the emission limits should be met, which should allow innova-tion and technical advances to flourish. But, in essence, the shipowner has to either burn cleaner, low-sulphur, fuel, or employ a method of cleaning the ship’s exhaust gas to meet the required standards.

Regarding LNG and alternative energy sources: What, in your opinion, are the most promising technologies to achieve better protection of the environment and more efficient ships?

SEKIMIZU: IMO’s approach is not to regulate in favour of any one technology or energy source, but rather to set effi-ciency targets and leave it to the industry to find the best ways to meet those targets. In this way, innovation is encour-aged. However, IMO is engaged in the development of a code for gas-fuelled ships, as LNG has proven to be a good alter-native marine fuel, in particu-lar in Emission Control Areas.

Although we can all hope for a technological breakthrough that would solve the issue, or a new zero-carbon fuel to come on the market, there will be no magic bullet or single so-lution. Hull shape, improved diesel engines and propulsion systems, to mention but a few, will continue to be the focus, besides speed reductions, which may prove to be the single most important issue in energy efficiency.

BV-classed fleet exceeds 10,000 vesselsThe international classification society Bureau Veritas (BV) an-nounced at a press conference on Tuesday that the BV-classed fleet now numbered 10,055 vessels totalling 93.4m gt. In addition, 1,790 inland water vessels have been classed by BV. It attributed the growth to strong deliveries of newbuild-ings and a strong inflow of vessels in service attracted by BV’s range of services.

BV is the world’s second-larg-est classification society by number of vessels classed and has about 20 per cent of the world newbuilding order book by number of vessels. A total of 38.1 per cent of its fleet is made up of bulk carriers, followed by 18.7 per cent tankers, 12.8 per cent container ships, 7.9 per cent cargo ships, 7.4 per cent gas carriers, 4.5 per cent pas-senger vessels, 2.6 per cent off-shore units and 8 per cent other kinds of ships. Significant new services launched by Bureau Veritas in the recent past in-clude a suite of environmental tools and a simplified online certification system.The society’s energy efficiency services include voluntary con-formity assessment, technical assistance, consultancy and training. The company can de-liver Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) file preparation, verification and attestation, Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) preparation, validation, SEEMP notation, SEEMP monitoring and review, and ISO 50000 auditing and

certification. Consultancy also provides Energy Efficiency Op-erational Indicator (EEOI) cal-culation with energy perform-ance indicators calculation and voyage consumption / emission simulation and reporting. Ret-rofitting of energy-saving de-vices efficiency assessment is facilitated by the calculation potential of BV’s relationship with HydrOcean. Together they provide high-level CFD calcula-tion and modelling of design changes to the vessels’ hull form or propeller to model the best energy-saving compromise for newbuildings or retrofitting.Energy efficiency performance prediction analysis can be car-ried out using BV’s new soft-ware tool SEECAT (ship energy efficiency calculation and anal-ysis tool), which provides a full model of a ship’s energy flows

and allows yards and owners to model and test the effect of dif-ferent design, equipment and operational changes. BV has put in place a completely new IT-based certification and ship status system. It is aimed at reducing the workload of shipowners and operators and simplifying access to ship infor-mation and status. A ship’s clas-sification certificate has grown from one simple page into a document with many pages and annexes that consist of both printed and handwritten entries. BV’s new certification system once more makes the ship’s Cer-tificate of Classification a simple one-page document. Everything else is online in a standardised and easy-to-access format.

SMM DaIly neWS | SMM OPENING

Germany’s federal minister of economics and technology, Dr Philipp Rösler, officially opened SMM (shipbuilding, machinery & marine technology interna-tional trade fair) in Hamburg on Monday evening. “The shipbuilding trade fair SMM is a powerhouse of the world economy. Our shipyards, suppliers and marine technol-ogy industry are impressively demonstrating here that they’re well positioned for global com-petition,” Rösler said. “I’m pleased that Hamburg’s mari-

time industry trade fair is now taking place for the 25th time under the umbrella of SMM.”Rösler said the international exhibition of top technology showed that the maritime in-dustry had a bright future. Such major challenges as climate change, Germany’s nuclear power phase-out and secure supplies of raw materials cannot be mastered on land alone, he noted. Consequently, he added, a huge market for new tech-nologies was rapidly develop-ing, for example in the field of offshore wind energy – ranging

from wind farm foundations to installation-, maintenance- and transport ships as well as base and service ports.“The maritime industry is mak-ing an important contribution to successful reorganisation of our energy supply,” Rösler said.Bernd Aufderheide, chairman of the board of Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH, wel-comed some 800 invited guests from business and politics on the eve of the first exhibition day. The list of speakers at the 25th anniversary celebration

included not only leading rep-resentatives from the maritime industry but also Olaf Scholz, mayor and president of the senate of the city of Hamburg. All in all, the SMM special events programme will offer roughly 150 top-flight work-shops, symposiums and confer-ences, including events such as the Turkish Maritime & Naval Summit and the CIMAC (Inter-national Council on Combus-tion Engines) Circle 2012 on September 6th, and the Marine Coatings Conference on Sep-tember 5th.

SMM DaIly neWS | FILTER SySTEMS

A new provider of ballast wa-ter treatment (BWT) filters is introducing itself at SMM 2012. “Moss Hydro filters, which will hit the market in Q4 this year, have been designed specifically for the treatment of ballast water – to meet the challenges of the environment in a way that our competitors can’t,” said Stein Foss, CEO of the newcomer. “There is a genuine need – a hunger – for our products,” remarked Foss. “Current bal-last water treatment filters are prone to blockage, threatening the operation of BWT systems and therefore the ships that use them. Added to that, there aren’t enough filter suppliers in the market, meaning there will be huge bottlenecks as IMO ballast water mandates come into force up to 2016.”To meet the highest require-ments, Moss Hydro is using a self-adjusting pressure-bal-anced cleaning head that trav-els around the filter screen, re-moving any detritus. Increased backwash fluid velocity rinses the system clean with focused force, while its closed nature ensures that external compo-nents won’t get stuck.“It’s the best available tech-nology on the market,” Foss

asserted. But how can a new company promise to meet the demands of the “super-hot” BWT market?“Through clever collabora-tion,” explained Eric Leegwater, Moss Hydro’s vice president of Sales & Marketing. Leegwater said the company had struck an exclusive manufacturing agree-ment with a leading European producer of stainless steel pres-sure vessels, giving Moss Hydro

access to a state-of-the-art pro-duction facility of 20,000m² along with 200 staff members and a huge workload capacity.“These resources give us an ex-tremely short turnaround time for orders,” Leegwater said, “a crucial point of difference as the approaching regulations threaten ever-larger supplier backlogs in the sector.”According to Foss, Moss Hydro believes that its filter housings

will benefit from a super-duplex stainless steel construction rath-er than the traditional carbon steel casings. This innovation gives the company’s filters sub-stantial weight advantages over rivals (they are 50-70 per cent lighter), making them easier to install, with less need for foun-dation work and support.

A technological leader in heat transfer, separation and fluid handling, Sweden’s Alfa Laval Group focuses on energy opti-misation, environmental pro-tection and food production.

At this year’s SMM, Alfa Laval is showcasing a wide range of maritime solutions aimed at such key areas as boosting efficiency and reducing op-erating costs. The trade fair is the launch pad for three new products by the manu-facturer:

PureSOx – a cost-effective exhaust gas cleaning unit, PureDry – an innovative waste fuel recovery system and a paradigm shift in separator design,and the AlfaNova fusion-bonded plate heat exchanger.

Further fair highlights include the PureBilge unit, the ballast water treatment system PureBallast 2.0, the Aalborg boiler series, waste heat recovery and ther-mal fluid systems, and inert gas systems.

Visitors will also be able to receive detailed information about the AQUA freshwater generator, the fuel-conditioning module (FCM) and advanced cooling system (ACS), filters, and the extended service net-work created by the union of Alfa Laval and Aalborg Industries.

Alfa Laval at SMM: Hall A1 / Stand 228Efficiency was the watchword

at classification society Ger-manischer Lloyd’s press con-ference at SMM on Tuesday. A multi-tier market in which owners and operators of op-timised vessels hold a sig-nificant advantage over those running older tonnage is on the horizon, a top executive from the company said.

CEO Erik van der Noordaa ex-amined how research and de-velopment, innovation efforts and state-of-the-art software from the GL Group would con-tinue to minimise sea transport risks and emissions, increase

vessel availability, lower life-cy-cle costs and bring operational improvements. The benefits of an interdiscipli-nary approach and the syner-gies that have arisen through integration at the GL Group were pointed out by COO Torsten Schramm, who looked at how GL has been able to lev-erage its expertise by merging its offshore competencies. GL’s head of Research and Rule Development, Dr Pierre Sames, gave an update on LNG, show-ing how it was emerging as a viable alternative to HFO, es-pecially in Emission Control Areas (ECAs).

Albrecht Grell, head of GL’s Maritime Solutions, evaluated new opportunities in the ship-ping markets. Given the current circumstances, sailing speeds have been reduced across the board and fuel efficiency has become the biggest lever to in-crease cost competitiveness, he noted. Investors with the abil-ity to finance new vessels in the current economic climate could lock in significant competitive advantages over the existing fleet. In a multi-tier market that differentiates between vessels based on their efficiency, this will result in significantly im-proved employment opportu-

nities and earnings. These ben-efits stem from three sources, Grell said: the design of new vessels for lower speed, the utilisation of state-of-the-art optimisation technology and services, and significantly lower newbuilding prices. According to GL research, the financial benefits are so substantial that a newly built, fully optimised vessel will be more economical to operate than an existing ves-sel even if the existing vessel’s capital costs are removed from the calculation.

Geodis Wilson establishes hamburg baseAs both its cruise-related and cargo vessel supply business-es grow, the Marine Logistics division of Netherlands-based Geodis Wilson has ramped up its presence in Hamburg. Geodis Wilson is part of the SNCF Geodis Group, the global freight management arm of France’s SNCF. At SMM 2012, it is showing its tailored trans-port and logistics solutions for the cruise and merchant ship-ping industries.

Geodis Wilson’s Marine Logis-tics division has established one of its global “control tow-ers” in Hamburg. Initially, this was to facilitate successful man-agement of two projects at the

German port, in May and June, for Crystal Cruises. The Marine Logistics team handled trans-port and logistics management of an array of spare and replace-ment parts as well as other supplies involved in the over-haul and refitting of the Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony at the Blohm & Voss dry dock.Hamburg is now well-estab-lished as a cruise hub, and its importance as a regular port of call for liner vessels (both container and break-bulk) as well as being a major port for liquid and bulk cargoes make it a critical focal point for the delivery of Geodis Wilson Ma-rine Logistics’ rapidly expand-ing services.

In addition to being a source of the skill sets and expertise required, Hamburg’s diverse marine activity provides syner-gy with Geodis Wilson’s three sectors of Marine Logistics op-eration. The division’s cruise business is well-established through its headquarters in Miami; the Hamburg loca-tion extends this into Europe. The commercial sector, which handles scheduled vessels such as container ships, and the industrial sector, involv-ing vessels such as tankers and

bulkers that usually trade on the spot market, are also well represented at the port.With the help of the Hamburg “control tower”, Geodis Wilson aims to cope with this variabili-ty in demand via a consolidated approach to service provision and visibility throughout the supply chain, thereby maximis-ing efficiency and minimising costs for customers in all three trading sectors.

Ease of rope handling and op-timising rope performance are the themes of the Lankhorst Ropes stand at this year’s SMM in Hamburg.

In addition to the Lankhorst A3 rope splice, the stand features the Tipto winch line and Chal-lenger-coated Lankoforce rope. Introduced in 2010, the A3 splice has an efficiency of 100 per cent, which means there is no loss in rope strength due to splicing, the Dutch company says. It also makes rope handling easier as there is no doubling of the rope or splice stiffness in the main line as commonly experienced with traditional rope splicing. The A3 splice is a standard fea-ture of the Tipto winch line – a dedicated floating winch line

developed for use on single-drum, self-tensioning winches. The load-bearing, seven-strand core combines high strength and low elongation. The Tipto winch line has a breaking force of 785 kN with the A3 splice, compared with 682 kN without the A3 splice. Lankhorst Ropes has developed an innovative, abrasion-resist-ant coating for its Lankoforce mooring and towing ropes, si-multaneously improving abra-sion resistance and making the ropes easier to handle. The Challenger coating is an al-ternative to the protective jack-et normally used to safeguard the rope during handling.

hans-Joachim Stricker, vice-admiral (ret) of the German navy and chairman of the MS&D conference

In the following interview, Hans-Joachim Stricker, chair-man of this year’s MS&D (Maritime Security & Defence) conference and vice-admiral (ret) of the German Navy, ex-plains that the gathering cov-ers all security and defence is-sues relevant to the maritime sector, including maritime safety, climate change mitiga-tion and the new dynamic in

the offshore sector. Stricker sees holding the MS&D in the framework of SMM as “a very appealing feature”.

Admiral Stricker, which subjects of the MS&D conference 2012 do you, as chairman, regard as particularly important?

STRICKER: The change in the maritime environment, the security of maritime logistics and the development of future maritime capabilities will be the key issues for us this year. A subject I’d like to emphasise in

three questions for …

Hans-Joachim Stricker, vice-admiral (ret) of the German Navy Photo: HMC/Zapf

particular is “A Changing Mar-itime Environment”, because developments in this area have a special impact on everything in the maritime industry. Mari-time safety, climate change and the new dynamic in the offshore sector are issues that will concern us particularly in the short- to medium-term fu-ture.

Operation Atalanta has not been able to completely solve the problem of pirate attacks and hijackings of ships off the coast of Somalia. How do you assess the effectiveness of this operation?

STRICKER: The effectiveness of an operation can always be judged only with respect to the mission assigned to it. The mission of Atalanta is to get the ships of the UN World Food Programme safely to Mog-

adishu. Since the hijacking of the Danish merchant ship Danica White in 2007, there have been no further hijack-

ings of ships of the UN World Food Programme following the start of Operation Atalan-ta. So we can describe Opera-

tion Atalanta as very effective. And the number of hijackings in the Gulf of Aden has also been substantially reduced by

the EU, NATO and interna-tional operations. It has been shown that, provided the cap-tains keep to the recommen-

dations and regulations given, relatively safe passage can be ensured. But it is also evident that the naval operations are only combating the symptoms and cannot eliminate the un-derlying causes of piracy.

What chances do you see of the knowledge discussed and obtained at the conference having an impact on security efforts?

STRICKER: The MS&D confer-ence is of course not a body that can make binding deci-sions. But it does give partici-pants a wide range of subjects, solutions, experience and in-sights, which will then be in-corporated in key areas of their everyday work. I believe that is a decisive effect of the con-ference, and that is very much what the organisers want to achieve.

“It is evident that the naval operations are only

combating the symptoms and cannot eliminate the under-

lying causes of piracy.”

For well over 50 years, Inter-schalt maritime systems AG, headquartered near Hamburg, has been developing, manufac-turing and marketing maritime systems, electro-technical equipment, automation and information technology for the shipping and shipbuilding in-dustry. Product highlights the company is presenting at this year’s SMM range from its new TROP trim optimisation software and IMO-compliant ship monitoring system to satellite communications and service solutions.

The new TROP trim optimi-sation solutionThe maritime shipping indus-try has been forced to contend with the key issues of energy efficiency and sustainability. Optimising the trim of a ship is a good way to achieve lasting reductions in fuel consump-tion. In fact, trim optimisation has been an object of investiga-tion since the 1990s. Based on the findings, Interschalt added a ballast optimisation tool to its MACS3 loading computer system. The new TROP trim op-timisation module is now fully integrated into Interschalt‘s proven MACS3 loading com-puter system.

Bluetracker and Bluefleet – online connections Interschalt will also present its Bluetracker solution for com-

plete, integrated remote moni-toring of vessels. Whether it is inefficient vessel operation causing excessive fuel con-sumption, malfunctioning ship systems or the current status of fuel bunkers, Bluetracker’s sys-tem of automatic acquisition and transmission of operation-al data provides an almost real-time picture of exactly what is happening on board. At regular

intervals, Bluetracker automati-cally queries data from vari-ous onboard systems – such as engine room monitoring and control systems, automation systems and bunker fill-level sensors – collects them and then saves them in an SQL da-tabase. The data are transmit-

ted to shore, where the ship’s owner can view them by means of a web application without having to install any additional hardware. Different modules allow these captured data to be displayed, processed, analysed and exported as required. The fleet management system Bluefleet can be configured from a planned maintenance system to a fully equipped

ISM fleet management system. With only one SQL database for the entire fleet, the user re-ceives a fleet-wide overview of the technical stature of the ves-sels. Bluefleet can be enhanced with additional modules such as those for controlling, crew management and risk assess-

ment, making it truly a com-plete suite of software for com-prehensive fleet management.

Bridge navigational watch alarm systemWhat has been mandatory for new ships since mid-2011 will now also be required for en-tire fleets by July 2014, as per IMO resolution MCS 128(75): a bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS). The good news is that Interschalt‘s BNWAS can be seamlessly ret-rofitted into existing systems. If desired, a ship’s onboard tech-nicians easily and quickly in-stall the BNWAS system them-selves.

All-in-one satellite com-munications solutionsAIRTIME – A global Ku band solution for ship-to-shore com-munication with an intelligent 1m VSAT antenna is a further highlight to see at Interschalt‘s stand. A small-diameter Ku band antenna, it is compact enough to be installed on any ship. The comprehensive Ku band solution includes airtime, hard- and software. Interschalt‘s intelligent Ku band solution is scalable and can be customised to meet specific user needs, from regional to multiregional satellite coverage all the way to global service.

Germany-based Voith is dis-playing numerous new and further developments at this year’s SMM in Hamburg. Eye-catchers are a full-scale Voith Schneider Propeller and full-scale Voith Inline Thruster. In addition, Voith is presenting the new SteamTrac waste heat recovery system, a functional model of a new control stand and the Voith Radial Propeller.

Voith is unveiling its propri-etary control system for the steering and propulsion of vessels equipped with Voith Schneider Propellers or Voith Radial Propellers. The func-tional model of a control stand includes all bridge components such as joystick, steering wheel and propulsion lever, showing SMM visitors just how fast and precise the new control system operates. It will be installed for the first time in a double-ended ferry at the end of the year and go into series production by mid-2013. One eye-catcher at this year’s SMM is the size 36 Voith

Schneider Propeller (VSP), which is about 6m high. A new Voith Radial Propeller (VRP) of the second size class, with a diameter of 3.8m, is also being presented at the show. Having an input power of 4,500 kW, these VRPs are particularly suit-ed to drilling vessels and drill-ing platforms that are generally equipped with six to eight pro-pulsion units. The company is also displaying two Voith Inline Thrusters (VIT) as well as a Voith Inline Propul-sor (VIP), known as RIM drives, which support vessels during manoeuvring and dynamic po-sitioning but can also be used as main propulsion systems. They combine electrical, me-chanical and hydrodynamic ele-ments and ensure low vibration, extremely smooth running, excellent hydrodynamic char-acteristics as well as an environ-mentally friendly, compact and low-maintenance design. Voith will present a VIT with a propel-ler diameter of 1m along with the new, currently most power-ful VIT 2300 - 1500 thruster with

an internal diameter of 2.3m and power of 1,500 kW. To date, this RIM drive technology power class is unparalleled. Further developments present-ed by Voith at SMM include the SteamTrac. During combustion of fuel in diesel engines, about 60 per cent of the energy is converted into waste heat. The Voith SteamTrac enables re-use of some of this energy, result-

ing in an increase in propulsion energy and simultaneous de-crease of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The SteamTrac is currently undergoing long-term testing on board the push boat Veerhaven X, which runs daily between Rotterdam and Duisburg.

compliance with Ballast Water Management convention

The International Convention for the Control and Manage-ment of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Conven-tion) is expected to enter into force in 2014 at the earliest. To help shipowners comply with the upcoming regula-tions, a number of guidelines have been developed. They

include “Ballast Water: The Guide”, recently published by the UK-based service provider Fathom.

It is estimated that the mer-chant shipping fleet transports up to 12 billion tonnes of bal-last water around the globe an-nually. To prevent non-native

species from invading alien ecosystems, in 2004 the IMO adopted the International Con-vention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention). It requires ships to conduct a ballast water ex-change or meet a concentration-based ballast water discharge

standard in accordance with a gradually implemented sched-ule linked to the ship’s build date and amount of ballast on board. Since vessels have not been designed and equipped to treat ballast water, instal-lation of a ballast water man-agement system is necessary to ensure conformity with the strict water quality standards set in what is known as Regu-lation D2. However, the BWM Convention has yet to reach the required number of signa-tories for formal ratification. Entry into force will occur 12 months after ratification by 30 states representing 35 per cent of world merchant ship-ping gross tonnage. There are many installation challenges to overcome, such as compatibil-ity with existing ballast pumps and tank stripping ejectors, as well as space, power and safety concerns. Careful con-sideration must also be given to how performance may vary as operating conditions – e.g. sediment content, algae, salin-ity and temperature – change. Initial purchase and installa-tion costs are obvious factors, but operating costs over the life of the vessel need to be calcu-lated, too. In cooperation with the classification society ABS, UK-based Fathom, a provider of market intelligence pro-

Globally 68,000 ships need to get ready for compliance with the BWM Convention. However, it is questionable whether shipyards, equipment manufacturers, class societies and oth-ers will be able to meet the demands on time. To demonstrate the risk of possible bottlenecks in the installation and retrofi t of ballast water treatment systems, the classification society Lloyd’s Register has created the following diagram, showing the upcoming global demand for treatment systems:

It says the guide is an essential tool for shipowners in ories: mechanical, physical and chemical.The ballast water management system may be installed at vari-ous locations throughout a ves-sel. The acceptability of the lo-cation and arrangement depend

on the type of treatment system under consideration, the instal-lation specifications and the type of vessel involved. Each installation must be carefully evaluated to verify that poten-tial safety concerns and pollu-tion hazards are adequately ad-dressed, according to Fathom’s guide.

Knaack & Jahn Schiffbau GmbH, a piping and fire-fighting sys-tems specialist with headquar-ters in Hamburg, is presenting its KJ FireOff water mist fire protection system for RoRo fer-ries at SMM 2012. KJ FireOff is the brand name for effective fire protection on ships. The special water mist sprinkler system is available in a wet and a dry version. Both have been tested as per MSC1/Circ.1272, which replaced the earlier IMO test standard MSC/Circ.914. The regulation includes approval scenarios and tests of system perform-ance in fire suppression. In simulated fires on RoRo car and truck decks, the reliability and durability of the nozzles

were tested. They also operate with seawater and are corro-sion-resistant.

KJ FireOff OHM-PX1 auto-matic nozzles are for wet system detection with glass

bulbs. Detection by means of the bulbs is extremely fast and reliable – their aesthetic design is combined with high functionality.KJ FireOff OHM-OPX1 is the open nozzle for deluge sys-tems. This newly designed nozzle is for dry applications. The release functions both automatically and manually. Deluge systems will be the preferred solution on decks at risk of freezing.The Knaack & Jahn system and all individual components fulfil all relevant shipbuilding industry requirements, and all marine approvals are avail-able.

the new diesel engines by Moteurs BaudouinMoteurs Baudouin is a subsidi-ary of China’s Weichai Power Company, a global diesel en-gine provider for the indus-trial, heavy vehicle and marine sectors whose European R&D centre is located at Moteurs Baudouin’s headquarters in France. Moteurs Baudouin is presenting two new products from its electrical power so-lutions portfolio at SMM in Hamburg: the 4W105S marine generator set and the 6M19.3 marine diesel engine.

The company says the 6M19.3 high-pressure, common rail (HPCR) marine diesel engine offers reliable and economical propulsion for the marine and inland shipping industries. Specially developed for typi-cal marine cycles, the 6M19.3 achieves outstanding specific fuel oil consumption in its category down to 192 g/kWh in towing speed / max power. The engine’s increased effi-ciency simultaneously allows high power availability in-

cluding high torque at inter-mediate and idling speed. The six-cylinder inline 6M19.3 engine covers a power range from 331 to 425 kW at 1,800 to 2,200 rpm. The electronically control-led engine also ensures lower airborne noise, significantly reduced NOx and particulate values and offers optimised operating costs at extended maintenance intervals, ac-cording to the manufacturer. The 4W105S marine generator

set adds an 85 (105) kVA – 50 (60) Hz prime power solution to the company’s portfolio. Based on a four-cylinder, in-line diesel prime mover with mechanical injection, the 4W105S consolidates Moteurs Baudouin’s comprehensive power range up to 845 (875) kVA. The 4W105S is also avail-able with standby power rat-ings of 95 (115) kVA.

handbuch Schiffssicherheit – Erkennen, Bewerten, Entscheiden, Handeln (“Ship Safety Manual – Recognising, Assessing, Deciding, Acting”)

THE MARITIME BOOKSTORE RECOMMENDS X

The second edition of the “Ship Safety Manual” pro-vides comprehensive, up-to-date information on how to effectively develop and implement the safety man-agement required on sea-going vessels, and particu-larly on how to deal with imminent dangers during the operation of a vessel. Working through the man-ual’s major topics such as fire protection, grounding, water ingress and hazard-ous materials – with exam-ple calculations and cases – the student / ship’s officer can acquire the professional expertise necessary to rec-ognise and assess poten-

tially dangerous situations in advance, and to organise the appropriate protective measures for conceivable emergencies. A chapter on averting dangers / security – currently of great interest – was newly added, with im-portant suggestions on how to defend a ship against threats, e.g. pirate attacks. There is also an extensive chapter, including many dia-grammatic representations, on surviving emergencies at sea. The diverse objective and subjective factors in each phase of a rescue pro-cedure are described, and proposals are made for the proper responses.

Experts are already touting liquefied natural gas (LNG), which meets International Mari-time Organization (IMO) fuel sulphur limits, as the ship fuel of the future. Hamburg-based Technolog GmbH, a partner of the German engineering alliance IPP (Ingenieur Partner Pool), has put the first design for an LNG dual-fuel powered container ship on the market.

Beginning in 2015, ships in Emission Control Areas (ECAs) may only operate with fuel having a maximum sulphur content of 0.1 per cent. LNG is completely sulphur-free and contains less carbon than bun-ker oils, which also reduces ships’ emissions of carbon di-oxide (CO2). Most shipping companies remain very scepti-cal of the new fuel, however, because LNG supply in ports is not yet ensured and operating LNG-powered ships is more expensive – or so they assume. Technolog begs to differ.“By switching to LNG opera-tion, shipping companies can not only offer environmentally

friendlier ships, but also save costs and minimise business risks,” said Hans-Jürgen Voigt, Technolog’s managing director.IPP partner Technolog recently put the first design of an LNG dual-fuel powered container ship on the market. Its “Stream 4200 LNG” concept was jointly developed over several years with such well-known compa-nies as the classification society Germanischer Lloyd (GL), TGE Marine Gas Engineering, the Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA), Cargotec, and MAN Diesel & Turbo.The design, already tested and approved by GL, is applicable to container ships with capaci-ties ranging from 3,000 TEU to wide-bodied vessels carrying 5,000 TEU. With breadths of 32.2 to 37.4 m, Stream ships are meant for global deploy-ment. All of the engineering and construction – from the dual-fuel propulsion technol-ogy to a waste heat recovery unit, optimised hull design and open cargo holds without hatch covers, allowing individ-ual stowage – were efficiently

matched. LNG supply on board is ensured worldwide by means of an innovative and flexible tank arrangement consisting of both fixed and mobile bunker tanks. The con-tainer tanks can be taken on and off board with the normal container loading and unload-ing system. Achieving fuel sav-ings of up to 33% compared with conventional newbuilds, a Stream container ship with a capacity of 4,200 TEU emits as many as 500,000 fewer tonnes of CO2 in its lifetime, depend-ing on its operating area.Stream stands for “Sustainable Transport, Reliable, Economi-cal and Ambitious”; it can also be adapted to other types of ships. The first Stream design

for an LNG dual-fuel powered offshore transport ship has been contracted by China’s Jiangsu Hantong Ship Heavy Industry. Delivery is scheduled for April 2014. The vessel, to be operated by the shipping company owned by the Jiangsu Hantong Group, will service the route from Nantong, Chi-na, to Wilhelmshaven, Ger-many, and transport founda-tions and components for the construction of offshore wind farms. According to Technolog, the ship has a range of 22,000 nautical miles, so it is possible to make a round trip without refuelling.

Germany-based MAN Diesel & Turbo, a provider of large-bore diesel engines and turboma-chinery for marine and sta-tionary applications, highlights some of its current areas of focus at this year’s SMM in Hamburg.

WHR: MAN Diesel & Turbo offers highly efficient steam and gas turbines as part of its innovative waste heat recovery (WHR) system portfolio. The company is a package supplier that can integrate a WHR sys-tem – including economisers, steam/power turbine generator and condensing unit – into a vessel and guarantee the per-formance of the complete WHR system cycle. It can also deliver a package that includes the shaft generator/motor system, which provides substantial flexibility for a complete WHR cycle.

Dual-fuel engine: The com-pany’s development of its new, medium-speed, four-stroke L35/44DF engine continues the expansion of its product pro-gramme with a dual-fuel engine based on common-rail tech-nology. The engine is a high-efficiency unit with a specific power output in accordance with IMO Tier II emission lim-

its in diesel mode, and fulfils fu-ture IMO Tier III emission regu-lations in gas operation with a high degree of fuel flexibility (HFO, MDO, MGO and natural gas). With an output of 530 kW/cylinder, the inline 35/44DF engine is available in 6- to 10L-cylinder configurations that im-ply a power output range from 3.2 MW to 5.3 MW, the highest power output in the segment. The 35/44DF has been specially developed to accommodate the retrofit of the 32/44CR-T2 en-gine, using a high level of com-ponent synergies and the same crankcase, which can be rema-chined on board.

G-engines: During a cer-emony in Shanghai in April 2012, CMD (CSSC-MES Diesel Co, Ltd) officially signed a con-tract to construct the first Chi-nese-built MAN B&W design Green Series 7G80ME-C9.2 en-gine. Due for delivery in June 2013, the engine is bound for a 319,000-dwt, ABS class VLCC (very large crude carrier) to be built by Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co, Ltd (SWS) for Maran Tankers of Greece.

Kappel propellers: On March 20th 2012, MAN Diesel & Turbo approved the takeover of Kappel Propeller – including designs,

software, and intellectual prop-erty. The companies’ collabora-tion goes back to 2004, when MAN Diesel & Turbo supplied highly efficient Kappel CP pro-peller blades as part of extensive refurbishment of two Scand-lines ferries. MAN Diesel & Tur-bo aims to mature the energy-saving propeller technology and implement it in a greater variety of customer solutions, including the hydrodynamic integration of rudder bulbs, high-efficiency rudders, hull flow-guiding de-vices and ducts.

The US-based Federal-Mogul Corporation designs, engineers, manufactures and distributes technologies to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and enhance vehicle safety. As an exhibitor at this year’s SMM in Hamburg, the company is presenting a range of tech-nologies designed to boost the efficiency and lower the emis-sions and fuel consumption of diesel engines in the shipping industry.

For over seven decades, Federal-Mogul has specialised in devel-

oping, designing and manufac-turing piston ring technology for large-bore reciprocating en-gines. The company’s product range of compression and oil rings, which will be on display at SMM, starts at a diameter of 145 mm and covers ring solu-tions of up to 1,080 mm. While the same set of requirements applies to most combustion engines, each application may still require individual ring properties. This is why the com-pany has dedicated engineering capabilities for large-bore en-gine rings. In addition to ring

materials, Federal-Mogul offers a substantial portfolio of high-performance coatings, such as GDC (Goetze Diamond Coat-ing), CKS, chromium, plasma

coatings, PVD (physical vapour deposition) and twin-layer coatings.

Federal-Mogul at SMM:

Federal-Mogul serves the marine industry

lKZ Oil ring comparison Federal-Mogul’s patented LKZ oil control ring, unlike conventional or standard oil rings, combines a stepped surface and taper on its contacting edge, or “land”, and reduces oil consumption by up to 50 per cent and friction by up to 15 per cent, thereby improving fuel economy and emis-sions. Depending on the level of wear resistance required by en-gine manufacturers, Federal-Mogul can apply a variety of sur-face treatments, or “coatings”, to minimise wear or even further reduce engine friction

Visitors at SMM 2012 have the opportunity to see the new Voy-ager 4, the latest development of the automated chart manage-ment system from Thomas Gunn Navigation Services, the British navigational chart and equip-ment specialist.

Packed full of new applications, Voyager 4 is said to offer an easy-to-use, cost-effective and high-quality database of navigational data neatly displayed using an interactive map interface with

Admiralty information overlay that can be customised to in-dividual voyage requirements. Thomas Gunn said it had incor-porated a number of industry firsts into the new Voyager. The new route-planning func-tionality will enable the opera-tor to plot an optimum route and then automatically receive a tailored list of corrections for that route alone, while the dig-ital loose-leaf application de-livers digitised updates straight to the vessel. Thomas Gunn is

also very proud of its partner-ships with organisations such as Shipping Guides, Regs4ships and SPOS, and of new features such as ENC display and touch-screen technology, which have been developed in response to customer feedback. Voyager 4 will ensure the bridge has access to the specialist navigation tools essential for a safe and efficient passage, the company said.

Autronica Fire and Security is a Norway-based fire and gas safety systems manufacturer. The company is showing its entire portfolio, which is rel-evant to the merchant, tanker, offshore and passenger ship markets, at this year’s SMM.

There are several new systems on display, including a new flame detector and gas panel solution, both of which offer a number of improvements over existing solutions. Fire suppression technology is an-other highlight at the Autroni-ca stand due to the growing trend of some vessels to move

away from traditional CO2 fire suppression to water mist sup-pression.

Significant benefitsWater mist systems such as Autronica’s FlexiFOG provide significant benefits, e.g. they can be activated the moment a fire is detected, rather than having to wait for personnel to clear and seal the area before a fire can be suppressed. Upgrades to Autronica’s Autro-Master ISEMS (integrated safe-ty and emergency management system), which enable safety officers to ensure completely integrated incident manage-

ment processes, are also being highlighted. The system – used by some of the largest passen-ger vessels – continues to be ex-panded with new features and

functionality that Autronica is also showing at SMM 2012.

Germany’s maritime industry co-ordinator visits DVV Media Group

During an opening day tour of SMM on Tuesday, a delega-tion headed by Hans-Joachim Otto, the German federal gov-ernment’s maritime industry co-ordinator, stopped by the stand of the DVV Media Group, publisher of the SMM Daily News. The delegation was greeted by Dr Silke Sadowski, editor in chief of the German-language shipping magazine Schiff&Hafen and its English-language sister publication, Ship&Offshore. She gave a brief overview of the compre-hensive, advertisement-rich trade fair daily and of other DVV publications as well. For Otto, SMM is a high-tech window that opens every two years. “Whoever wants to get an idea of the global shipbuild-ing and marine technology markets should look through this window,” he remarked. And the specialist media are an indispensable aid.

Well known internationally for its outstanding and revolution-ary ship designs, the shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen, locat-ed near Bremen, is present-ing its latest development at this year’s SMM in Hamburg: SWASH@A&R.

SWASH (small waterplane area single hull) is a 20 m boat and further development of the shipyard’s successful SWATH (small waterplane area twin

hull). For greater stability, the SWASH has two outriggers on either side, similar to a trima-ran. The outriggers provide a further advantage: “With them we get a plane surface required to berth safely,” ex-plained Karsten Fach, head of sales and marketing at A&R. “In principle the SWASH type works as well as a SWATH boat.” But in contrast to a SWATH, the SWASH is a monohull in which the entire

propulsion technology – die-sel engine, generator, gearbox, propeller shaft and thruster – is located. This means that more space is available on deck, which accommodates up to ten people. The lifting hull is placed approximately 3m under the water surface and is connected to the deck area via struts. “For us, the SWASH development is a stabilised single hull, where the lifting comes from the middle tube,”

Fach said. The main propul-sion will be provided by a 900 kW diesel engine powering a pitch propeller that brings the boat to respectable speeds of up to 18 kn.The first trials are expected to be conducted this autumn, at which time interested parties can have a closer look at the finished boat.

Optimarin, a leading provider of ballast water treatment (BWT) systems, announced its current turnover figures at SMM on Tuesday. The Norwegian com-pany is showing a robust 3rd quarter, with revenue climbing to NOK 150 million (EUR 20.5 million). This is a more than 100 per cent increase over last year’s aggregate turnover of NOK 77 million. But Optimarin says the shipping industry has to act faster to meet IMO bal-last water regulations taking effect in 2016. “We estimate that only 5 per cent of the some 77,800 BWT-applicable ships in the world fleet have ordered their sys-tems. Hundreds of shipown-ers are stalling decisive action, which will severely affect future operations and earnings,” said Pål Sanner, CEO of Optimarin. Approximately 18,200 general cargo vessels, 6,400 passenger ships and 6,300 offshore ves-sels must meet IMO’s BWT cri-teria by 2014. A large number of vessels, including 9,000 bulk carriers, 14,000 tankers, 19,500 chemical carriers, RoRo and combination vessels and 4,900 container vessels must meet the 2016 BWT deadline. “There can be a serious bot-tleneck when shipowners

scramble to meet global BWT regulations in a few years’ time. With the US Coast Guard now pushing its own ballast water regulation, global shipowners must ramp up their BWT deci-sion-making processes,” San-ner said. If all shipowners plan a BWT retrofit during a vessel’s five-year survey, about 11,000 retrofits will have to be com-pleted between 2013 and 2016. Market observers estimate a peak in 2017, with 16,500 ves-sels needing to be retrofitted

that year – an average of 45 sys-tems per day. “We are facing a very strong demand in the next months, but the big question is whether the supply side will be able to handle future BWT sys-tem demand,” Sanner said. Optimarin recently signed a major fleet-wide retrofit ballast agreement treatment contract with Saga Shipholding for NOK 100 million and celebrated a second contract, valued at ap-proximately NOK 25 million, with Evergreen Marine Corp

for ten newbuild container ships. Total Evergreen contracts with Optimarin stand at nearly NOK 70 million. The company’s current order book comprises 130 confirmed orders. In all, some 180 type-approved Optimarin Ballast Systems (OBS) have been sold and about 35 systems are now installed on ships around the world.
