FIRE-FIGHTING & POLLUTION CONTROL | 3534 | FIRE-FIGHTING & POLLUTION CONTROL

Tug orders are a boon to fire-fighting suppliers

FiFi 1 fire water monitors can be part of an integrated and

containerised package

Suppliers of FiFi systems have adapted their products for tugs at a time when orders are at rock bottom in the offshore vessel sector

A greater number of tugs are being built with specialised fire-fighting equipment to FiFi 1 class standards as owners need their vessels to be prepared for tackling emergencies. Tugs are increasingly seen as multi-

purpose vessels around harbours and terminals with the capability of supporting fire-fighting in emergencies. Thus the majority of newbuildings have at least FiFi 1 integrated systems on board.

Jason Engineering has developed fire-fighting technology in response to the challenging tug and offshore support vessel markets. Demand for fire-fighting products to any FiFi standard in the offshore oil market has fallen significantly due to the slump in new vessel orders. But there has been more orders for FiFi systems on tugs.

To manage the challenging market and change in demand focus, Jason has reduced the footprint of its above deck systems and lowered the power requirements for smaller vessel installations. “We have the ability to react rapidly to changes in the market and adapt to its new demands,” explained Jason Engineering sales manager Vegar Lie.

“The recent decline in demand for offshore supply vessels and the reduction in shipbuilding has hit us hard. It is a challenge to compensate. But we have taken appropriate counter measures.” He continued: “We have reduced the power consumption to meet the green challenges in today’s market. We have also reduced the footprint of our pumps, clutches and gearboxes to stay fully aligned to the challenges that come from space constraints on tugs.”

Most of the equipment that Jason Engineering had designed for offshore supply vessels are also suitable for other vessels, including different types of tugs. The main difference is the size of equipment installed on tugs compared with the larger support vessels. Most of the tug fire-fighting systems are to a FiFi 1

standard, which means there needs to be two monitors, each with a capacity of 1,200 m³/h. They need to throw water to a length of 120m and height of 45m. FiFi 1 systems also have one or two pumps with a total pump capacity of 2,400 m³/h.

Jason Engineering’s monitors have an undivided waterway, for a single flow path, said Mr Lie. They have electrical and hydraulic remote controls, so they could react to different fire conditions. He added: “These are good advantages to the owners and end-users in terms of durability and reliability. Competitor systems use electric controls, where there are costing savings, but this reduces the durability and reliability.”

Jason Engineering has developed multi power-take-off transmissions as part of a wide range of purpose-built transmissions that are suitable for most FiFi applications. It also offers deluge systems, foam generators and telescopic elevating masts, all in accordance with class notations. Mr Lie said its FiFi systems are designed for low lifecycle costs, easy servicing and component replacement.

Fire Fighting Systems (FFS) also provides total fire-fighting solutions to various FiFi classes on tugs and other workboats. The complete package comprises equipment such as water monitors, pumps and controls, plus services in accordance with all class society requirements. It has a production plant in Åmål in Sweden and engineering centres in Norway and Singapore.

FFS’ product range includes pumps with drivers, gearboxes, monitors, foam mixers, deluge systems, remote control systems and related equipment. FFS designs its own FiFi 1 pumps, which are manufactured in a nickel-aluminium bronze or nodular cast iron casing and duplex stainless steel. It is available as a standalone unit or integrated with transmission. TTB

Vikoma unveils skimmer and boom technology

DESMI and Meritaito join forces in pollution control

South Africa boosts marine pollution control resources

Vikoma International has developed equipment for removing oil from seawater in emergency response. It has introduced a high-capacity multi-skimmer, a mass-oil weir skimmer and instruments for protecting the environment during ship-to-barge oil transfers.

The latest development is the weir boom and skimming system, which combines a weir skimmer within a containment boom. It was designed for mass oil recovery from fast oil flows and uses a water ballast tube to ensure a constant seal to the surface of the water. Vane pumps are built into the boom to allow both containment and recovery of spilled oil. This could be used for recovering oil from wrecks, said Vikoma sales director Paul Rayner.

The first of these weir boom and skimming systems was tested in front of class society DNV GL with an oil collection rate exceeding 130 m³/hr. It was shipped to an Asian customer in February this year.

Higher oil recovery rates have been recorded by using Vikoma’s recently introduced Komara Multi skimmer. This combines a weir skimmer with three optional oleophilic interchangeable recovery cassettes. This can recover 98 per cent of oil at a rate of 150 m³/hr.

Mr Rayner said this equipment can handle oil with a range of viscosities because it uses multiple recovery methods. The system is supplied with a diesel-hydraulic power pack, which is fitted with a spark arrestor and over-speed shutdown device, and 20m hose.

Vikoma has also introduced the Vikoseal that can be used to prevent oil dispersion during transfers between ships and barges. It has two compact H-shaped booms that seal against ship hulls. Mr Rayner said this should ensure the containment of any spilled oil during transfers. He introduced these products at the International Salvage Union conference in London in March.

Komara skimmers can handle oil with a range of viscosities, especially heavy oils

Scandinavian oil spill response and survey companies DESMI Ro-Clean and Meritaito have formed a joint venture to provide solutions for harbour and coastal pollution control. Odense, Denmark-based DESMI Ro-Clean brings its oil spill solutions and spill response vessels to the partnership.

Finnish marine surveyors Meritaito will offer its SeaHow oil spill response and prevention services. It has experience in protection, response and prevention of spills of oil and hazardous and noxious substances. Meritaito has built up a product range of oil spill recovery products after a six-year development campaign and also supports oil spill response in Finnish waters by providing nine multipurpose vessels.

DESMI Ro-Clean’s products comprises of booms and oil skimmers including disc, mop, weir, belt, brush, drum and vacuum systems. Each of these skimmer types is available in a range of sizes.

Tug operators can use radar-based systems to detect oil on water. Miros recently unveiled its oil spill remote sensing technology. Its radar provides continuous local surveillance of an oil spill enabling tug operators to deploy pollution control and clean-up services. The radar uses the difference in radar wave returns to detect oil patches on water and can be upgraded with a thermal imaging camera for night operations.

South Africa’s Department of Transport has contracted African Marine Solutions Group (AMSOL) to provide comprehensive marine pollution prevention and control services. Under a five-year contract, AMSOL is deploying a purpose-designed high-speed tug kitted out with pollution control equipment and a specialised South African crew.

AMSOL will operate a standby tug for proactive marine pollution prevention and control measures. Managing director Paul Maclons said the tug and its crew will meet multiple Department of Transport objectives: “The purpose-designed tug and our support services are required to safeguard South Africa’s marine environment and ensure proactive protection from the impact of pollution caused by incidents at sea," said Mr Maclons.

The standby tug is available year-round to respond to marine emergencies and has the ability and inherent power to deal with the biggest seagoing vessels. It was designed to operate in the challenging weather and sea conditions that prevail off South Africa. The tug will also be used for training and developing South African seafarers.

AMSOL is owned by a consortium representing management, employees, Pan-African Capital Holdings, the Mineworkers Investment Co and RMB Ventures. It acquired Smit Amandla Marine in December 2016. TTB
