SIGNIFICANT SMALL SHIPS of 2009 W
elcome to another edition of Significant Small Ships...and what a year it has been! The maritime market has suffered along with other industries in what has been a very challenging year for all. While many shipyards and equipment manufacturers are cutting back on staff and other resources some are deciding to ‘diversify’ which is leading to some interesting trends in ship design – the likes of which are listed in this publication. One area that is receiving a lot of attention is hybrid propulsion. Foss Maritime Company, based in Seattle, USA, launched Carolyn Dorothy – believed to be world’s first hybrid tug, combining smaller main engines with electric propulsion generators with energy stored in batteries when not in use. This design received much praise among the leaders of the industry. Designs that minimise fuel consumption, such as the two catamaran ferries by Wang Tak, Ba Fong and Hai Yu, show that the Asian market is catching up Europe and USA when it comes to green issues. One area that is not as badly affected as commercial shipbuilding is the offshore market. Many shipyards are turning to offshore designs thanks to the price of oil being fairly high at around US$70/bbl. Some of the more interesting smaller vessels to be delivered in 2009 include Far Samson, believed to be the most powerful offshore multipurpose vessel on the market at the moment. This vessel features no less than four main engines, four auxiliary generators, two gearboxes, two electrical propulsion motors, two alternators, two propellers and six thrusters of various types! Adams Challenge is the largest, most complex offshore support vessel to have been built and co-designed by Balenciaga yard in Spain. This vessel features a low freeboard to facilitate the immersion and retrieval of divers when air diving, as this vessel was designed

for underwater surveying, pipeline construction and maintenance tasks for owner, Adams Offshore (UK) Ltd. Another interesting offshore vessel to be delivered in 2009 is Kogalym, an ice-class anchor-handling tug supply (AHTS) vessel built for Russian gas giant, Lukoil. This vessel is capable of performing supply, duty and rescue operations in temperatures as low as -20°C and ice-thickness of up to 70cm. Lest we not forget the advance of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vessels in the small craft market. Troubled German shipyard Lindenau has delivered an impressive eco-friendly small cargo tanker to the Seychelles, Seychelles Paradise. During the design and optimisation process of Seychelles Paradise more than 20% savings of power demand for propulsion and ships service were achieved, resulting in a significant reduction in operational costs during the lifetime of the ship. Another vessel featured in Significant Small Ships of 2009 that carries LNG is Moldefjord. The difference here is that Moldefjord is LNG-fuelled and built according to strict Norwegian classifications and featuring the Clean design award. The breadth of designs to come out in 2009 was astonishing. One vessel type that has seldom been included in Significant Small Ships is seismic. WG Columbus is a 12-streamer seismic vessel built for Western Geco and the first of its type to feature Ulstein’s famous X-Bow shape. It is also the first design outside of Norway to feature the X-Bow shape. Significant Small Ships wouldn’t be the same without a smattering of tug designs to inform (and hopefully entice!) the reader. Costante Neri & Corrado Neri, two highlyefficient azimuth stern drive (ASD) sister tugs built by Gondan Shipyard for Fratelli Neri in Italy are highly manoeuvrable thanks to each
featuring double azimuth thrusters and boasting a very high bollard pull for vessels of their size. Pilbara Thor, the first of two terminal support tugs for Australian multinational mining group, Rio Tinto, was delivered at the beginning of 2009. The vessel is thoroughly outfitted to Fi-Fi 1 class with Counterfire pumps and monitors, fire-fighting pumps and round-the-pump type inductor. Seaspan Resolution is an example of another impressive tug build from 2009. The vessel is equipped with Tier II compliant main engines and generators, and the generators are sized large and small so that in times of low electrical demand the smaller engine can be operated – saving energy. Returning briefly to the subject of LNG, Spanish yard Union Naval Valencia has delivered the first in a series of four LNG support tugs, SMBC Monterrey, to its Mexican owners Servicios Marítimos de Baja California. This tug exceeds the bollard pull requirements set out by the owner, has remarkable stability and the added benefit of low levels throughout the accommodation and control spaces of the tug. Lastly, another Spanish yard, Freire Construcciones Navales, delivered its LNG escort tug, Svitzer Kilroom, to Svitzer – Milford Haven Services in January 2009. This vessel was designed by Canadian naval architects Robert Allan Ltd, and like SMBC Monterrey (also designed by Robert Allan) features low noise levels throughout. She is the largest and most powerful of the RAstar series of tugs designed for this type of operation. This is just a taster of some of the vessels featured in this esteemed publication. With a variety spanning patrol vessels, tugs, LNG carriers, seismic vessels, fireboats and passenger ferries, this could well be the most diverse issue yet! Angela Velasco Editor

dams Challenge is the latest delivery from Balenciaga, and the fourth vessel built for the same owner, Adams Offshore (UK) Ltd. Adams Challenge is also Balenciaga’s largest and most complex delivery for the offshore support vessel market, a field in which the shipyard has been gaining a strong foothold over the last decade. As for the previous ships built for this ship owner, the Adams Challenge will be engaged in underwater surveying, pipeline construction and maintenance tasks by means of divers as well as the use of ROV. In addition, the Adams Challenge is fitted with a 12-man saturated diving system which will enable works to be carried out up to a water depth of 300m. The concept design came from Balenciaga’s in-house naval architect, with the remaining design work developed by Cintranaval, in close cooperation with the owner. Points of note in the vessel design are its low freeboard of the main deck, to facilitate the immersion and retrieval of divers when air diving, and also the high superstructure to house the large number of crew that she is designed to accommodate in comfort, as well as the Survey rooms typically found on a diving and survey vessel. Other outstanding features include the large subsea crane, the A-frame aft and not least the helideck above the wheelhouse forward. The hull lines forward are sharpened to end in a quasi-submerged bulbous bow for improved running economy over the long haul trips. The stern is of the transom type to afford the largest possible working deck area, and there is a removable stern gate for performing works over the stern. Adams Challenge has been equipped to dynamic positioning 2 (DPS2) standard and has been equipped with a Kongsberg Simrad SDP21 Dynamic Position System interfaced with a cJoy independent joystick. The equipment fitted includes the following external position reference systems: two taut wire systems, two DGPS, a Fanbeam laser and one HiPap 500 and one HiPap350 hydro-acoustic systems.
The majority of the pumps fitted on the vessel have been manufactured by Bombas Azcue. The vessel is also capable of performing small supply tasks of water cargo for which a dedicated pump has been fitted. In water depths greater than 50m the working time on the bottom is greatly reduced, and decompression times of the divers using surface air techniques become prohibitively long. To exacerbate the problem air becomes narcotic at depth. To counteract these restrictions, continuous diving operations at depth are possible utilising a 12-man saturation diving system using mixed gas. This enables safe underwater work to be performed continuously 24 hours per day up to a depth of 300m. Twelve divers are housed under pressure in the living quarters, where they eat and sleep, in two interlinked decompression chambers located on the deck of the vessel. After transferring to the diving bell a team of three divers are lowered to working depth through the vessel moonpool, and rotate working in the water for up to an eight hour shift. The bell returns to the surface and locks onto the surface system every eight hours, and the divers change out for a fresh team. The divers remain under pressure throughout and only decompress to atmospheric pressure at the end of a 28-day period. In the event of a major emergency the saturation system is also fitted with a hyperbaric rescue craft, which allows for the divers to be removed from the vessel, while still under pressure, if the vessel is in threat of sinking. After transferring to the rescue craft it can be lowered with the entire dive team into the sea and floats free to be decompressed at a safe location. To enhance the divers’ safety, the dive control rooms are fitted with communication to all important positions on the vessel and direct priority communication to the vessel bridge. All diving systems are built to class standards (ABS) and are operated and maintained under IMCA (International Marine Contractors Association) Guidelines for Diving Operations. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

trategic Marine Mexico, a shipyard of the Strategic Marine Group headquartered in Western Australia, recently launched its first 52m crew boat, Aramara, for Arrendadora Ocean Mexicana (Blue Marine). The official naming ceremony for the vessel was scheduled for 28 September 2009 and was held at the company’s shipyard in Mazatlan. Aramara has an all-aluminium hull and superstructure and her deck is constructed of aluminium and timber. She was designed using Maxsurf, AutoCAD and Solidworks computer-aided design (CAD) software. The vessel is a significant milestone in Strategic Marine’s history. Managing director of Strategic Marine, Ron F Anderson, said: “This is the first vessel to be delivered by our Mexican shipyard, and it is also the first Strategic Marine vessel destined for the Gulf of Mexico...A goal that has been 5 years in the making.” The 52m crew boat is one of two vessels (the other being sister Lluavi) contracted to Blue Marine, both vessels will be operated by Blue Marine as part of a long-term contract with national oil giant PEMEX (Petróleos Mexicanos).
The construction of Aramara and Lluavi form part of the plan for renovation and modernisation of the fleet of PEMEX Exploration and Production; these vessels will provide support for platforms from the home port in Ciudad Del Carmen. Strategic Marine and joint venture partner Servicios Navales E Industriales SA de CV (SENI) remain focused on establishing a strong foothold in the Americas shipbuilding industry. A move that was recently confirmed when SENI were recently awarded a contract to construct two 35m buoy tenders for the Mexico Ministry of Communications and Transport. The crew boats are based on Strategic Marine’s Deep-V high-speed planing hull and will be operated by a 10-man crew with a 60 passengers-capacity in addition to 100tonnes of cargo at a cruising speed of 20kts. The design and construction of the vessel was both a challenging and rewarding project for Strategic Marine, and is the relatively young Mexican yard’s first vessel to be launched.

The vessel, delivered in April 2009 is a fuel-efficient
high-speed catamaran ferry that has been proven to be a good solution for low cost operations and features very low fuel burn. The loaded speed is more than 27kts, which is very impressive considering that she is only powered by two engines, MTU 16V2000 engines at 1040kW each. A
comfortable ride is achieved with the Deep-V hull shape and the vessel also boasts low vibration. The noise level on the main deck has not exceeded 65dBa. Ba Fong was built according to China Classification Society classifications and the ferry is built to export quality according to the designers. The passenger space layout accommodates 194 passengers on the main deck and 37 VIP on the upper deck plus a private VIP room and 1 x 2 berth and 1 x 4 berth crew cabins. This vessel has been built in Guangzhou (Canton) China by Guangdong Hongshen Shipyard, which is a joint venture between Wang Tak and a local shipyard. This shipyard has been operating for many years prior to building its first passenger catamaran. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

D
uring the first quarter of 2009, the entry to service of what is believed to be the world’s first hybrid tug, Foss’ Carolyn Dorothy, marked the introduction of a new kind of environmentally sound, cost effective technology designed specifically for the maritime industry. The innovative tug design was jointly developed by Foss Maritime and Aspin Kemp and Associates (AKA). Carolyn Dorothy is based on the Robert Allan Ltddesigned Dolphin class and was built at the Foss shipyard in Rainier, Oregon. It has received high praise from industry analysts and environmental officials alike, winning the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Air Excellence Award for Clean Air Technology. The hybrid system employed on Carolyn Dorothy combines smaller main engines (compared to a conventional vessel of equal capability) with electric propulsion motor/generators. It permits engines to shut down when not required and keeps engines at or near their design points when running. Energy stored in batteries is used to meet low-end power requirements and bridge transient periods when power is required, but engines are not yet at speed. The hybrid tug has two main diesel engines, shafted to azimuth stern drives (ASD). Motor/generators are AC machines which function both as motors, when required to provide mechanical power, and as generators, when needed to provide electrical power back to the system. The system also incorporates two auxiliary diesel generator sets to supply electrical power for propulsion, hotel services, and battery charging. One or both auxiliary generators can provide propulsive power; the number of generators in operation is determined by the demands of the propulsion system, hotel and miscellaneous other loads (e.g. the deck winch). The propulsion system is designed to work in either hybrid or conventional mode. In normal operation the vessel operates in hybrid mode, but conventional mode is available for emergencies. In hybrid mode, full
propulsion power is available to the operator, under four separate readiness levels; Stop, Idle, Transit and Assist, established from operations reviews, engine operating data and history, boat activity logs and discussions with crew members and shore-side personnel. The Stop level, used when the vessel is secured alongside, disables motor/generators and removes the throttle reference from the hybrid control system, as well as shutting down the main engines. At this level, power for hotel loads and battery charging is provided by shore power, or batteries if shore power is not connected. The Idle level is used when the vessel is stopped at sea. No engines are running at Idle, and the batteries are providing power for hotel loads and minimal station keeping. A generator will automatically start up and come online to recharge batteries when needed, and pushing the throttles past a threshold will cue both main engines and both auxiliary gensets to start, engine clutches to close and power to rise to meet the throttle setting. At Transit level, the EMS starts one auxiliary generator set, if none is currently online, to provide power for hotel and a 'harbour-speed' of approximately 6knots. Advancing the throttle beyond this setting will immediately start a second generator, with batteries providing "ride-through" power until the second generator is online. The Assist level is intended for most ship-assist work. When Assist is selected, the EMS starts both main engines and both auxiliary generators. The hybrid tug uses auxiliary generators and batteries to augment main engines as sources of propulsion power; compared to a conventional boat, it therefore has vastly increased flexibility in machinery configuration. A hybrid can, for example, cruise on a single auxiliary generator or allocate power from one main engine to both propellers equally. There are 32 possible configurations of battery, auxiliary generators and/or main engines. Hybrid technology is a cost effective solution to reduce all forms of pollution. Most pollution reduction technologies can reduce one form of pollution but often increase other pollutants. Hybrid technology addresses both criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases through more efficient combustion and lower fuel consumption, respectively. This patent pending technology is scalable and is appropriate for both newbuilds and retrofits to existing vessels. The economic benefits of operating a hybrid harbour tug are realized through fuel savings and reduced maintenance costs for the major equipment. Reduced idling and improved efficiency are the main sources of fuel economy. Maintenance cost savings are
12
SSS 09 - p12+13.indd 12
expected to accrue from the fact that, with main engines shut down most of the time, the elapsed time between engine overhauls is increased significantly. Soft cost gains are significant and are realized in improved crew rest and endurance from lower levels of machinery noise. The increased capital costs associated with this technology are recouped in less than five years under current market conditions. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

ung Teh Shipyard, the leading yard in high-speed vessel construction, has designed, constructed and delivered the first of three 30m steel patrol vessels to the Hong Kong Marine Department in August 2009. To perform its primary law enforcement duties and patrol and search in the Hong Kong waters, the boat is designed as a V-shape hard chine and transom stern with good resistance, seakeeping, manoeuvring, low noise and vibration performance in weather conditions up to Sea State 5 and to provide an effective observation platform for crews engaged in continuous operations without giving rise to excessive crew fatigue. CE2 is designed and constructed as a steel hull with a 2-tier aluminium deckhouse. Scantling of hull structural members is determined in accordance with the Lloyd’s Register’s ‘Rules for Classification of Special Service Craft’. The vessel is equipped with two Caterpillar 3516C main engines, two ZF7550V reduction gears and two
fixed pitch propellers to perform the high speed and low speed mission in HKSAR waters. The air-conditioned wheelhouse located on the second tier of deckhouse is designed for six officers and in a configuration to provide three consoles including steering, engine monitoring and communication. All the consoles are an ergonomical configuration with the more frequently used controls grouped within easy reach of a man of normal Asian stature in the sitting position. The crew mess and pantry rooms are arranged on the main deck. Five crew cabins including one female cabin are arranged under main deck with toilets and shower. One 6m aluminium heavy duty rigid hull inflatable boat for 10 persons is arranged on the after main deck with a rapidly launched/ recovered single arm rescue boat crane system. One maritime surveillance system with day & night sensors is arranged and the MSS can provide covert detection and observation of all types of targets in poor visibility, in the total darkness or bad weather and at a distance far beyond the limits of normal human vision. After successful sea trials in Taiwan and Hong Kong waters, CE2 is delivered to Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department and entered into service to execute the sea patrol. Another two vessels were scheduled to be delivered to HKMD in September and November 2009. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

ity of Portland is a state-of-the-art fire-fighting vessel built by AF Theriault & Son Ltd of Nova Scotia, Canada and designed by Robert Allan Limited of Vancouver, Canada for Portland Fire Department in Maine, USA. The vessel has an ice-strengthened aluminium hull and a Bondstrand fibre-reinforced plastic firefighting system piping. City of Portland also has a complete medical centre duplicating a road ambulance layout. The design will allow emergency medical technicians to board the vessel and provide the same level of care to patients as they could in a land-based ambulance. City of Portland is an all-weather emergency vessel built to serve the city of Portland, as well as surrounding communities on Penobscot Bay. Fire-fighting equipment onboard includes both remote- and manually-controlled water cannons using 3000gallons/minute pumps, as well as fire-fighting foam capability. The layout of the vessel includes four control
stations: wheelhouse in port/starboard, aft deck, fly bridge and diving platform aft. Also onboard is a large fire-fighting equipment room in hull under the wheelhouse and hot water space heating system with a diesel furnace in the engineroom. Regretfully, City of Portland was involved in an accident during a rescue mission in November 2009 that resulted in a broken propeller, shaft and a damaged rudder. She entered Gowen Marine repair yard and is expected to re-commence operations within the first few months of 2010. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

ostante Neri and Corrado Neri are double azimuth stern drive (ASD) offshore terminal escort tugs built by Astilleros Gondan shipyard in Asturias, Spain for Fratelli Neri SpA, a subsidiary of the Neri Group, in Livorno Italy. The tugs are fully automated stern drive tugs designed in response to a worldwide demand for a highly-efficient class of ship-assist/oil and gas terminal tug. Highly maneuverable, with two azimuth thrusters, Costante Neri and Corrado Neri are dedicated for maximum efficiency in the performance of ship-handling, tank escort and related terminal support activities services. Costante Neri and Corrado Neri are equipped with two completely independent escort towing winches (each) forward allowing to switch from towing to pushing within seconds and heavy bow fendering for ship-assist and escort work; on the main deck aft is fitted a double drum waterfall type winch for anchor-handling and deep-sea towage purposes. Each drum is equipped with a complete tow line giving redundancy. Thanks to very high bollard pull performance and to the fact that it is the first application of FiFi II equipment on such a kind of vessel, these tugs represent a very leading case in this market. Although this vessel is intended as dedicated terminal support/escort tug for the offshore oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) off-loading tankers, the tugs can be deployed for the following services:
• • • • • •
Tanker escort service; Fire-fighting activities; Anchor handling/supply activities; Anti-pollution services; Salvage operations; and Transportation of spares/cargo to and from the offshore terminal.

FAR SAMSON: The most powerful offshore multipurpose vessel from by Rolls-Royce Builder’s name................................STX Norway Offshore, Langsten Designer............................Rolls-Royce Marine, Ship Technology Offshore, Ulsteinvik Vessel’s name................................. Far Samson Owner/operator..................... Farstad Shipping Country...................................................Norway Flag ................................................. Isle of Man Total number of ships already completed........0 Total number of sister ships still on order.........0 Contract date.........14 June 2006 (yard/owner) Delivery date.............................. 24 March 2009 ar Samson is the most powerful offshore vessel ever F built, according to designer Rolls-Royce Marine of Ulsteinvik, Norway. This impressive vessel was initiated
by owner, Farstad Shipping of Norway, and realised by Rolls-Royce in close co-operation with the owner. Rolls-Royce developed the special design based upon Farstad’s requirements, working in close cooperation with the owner and charterer. The UT 761 CD has been built by STX Europe Langsten (formerly Aker Yards Langsten), and is now on a long term charter. Far Samson has a continuous bollard pull of 423tonnes with all three auxiliary thrusters operating and 377tonnes under main propellers alone. The UT 761 CD design is a multifunctional vessel capable of carrying out heavy ploughing operations for pipes and cables on the seabed, subsea installation work in ultra deepwater, remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) operations, towing, and other challenging subsea operations. The specification calls for ploughing to a cut depth of 2.5m in the seabed in water up to 1000m depth. Meeting the various demands means a large vessel, 121.5m long overall, 26m beam, 15,620gt, the hull strengthened to Ice Class 1B, having also De-Ice Class for operation in iced waters and harsh conditions. Hull lines are optimised for the required 12-17kts transit speed range, allowing the ship to mobilise efficiently for operations anywhere in the world. The top speed is approximately 20kts. The draught is more than 8m to give sufficient immersion to the large propellers. The hullform incorporates a bow bulb and stern sections designed to give a clear flow of water to the propellers to satisfy the requirement for an extremely high bollard pull. During design and construction of this Clean Design vessel, utmost attention was paid to internal and external environmental aspects as well as the safety conditions for vessel and crew. An unusual feature of the UT 761 CD is two working deck levels. The space over the main deck houses the winches and is open at the stern, allowing wires to be run over a stern roller. It is flanked by workshops and winches for the A-frame and crane, provided by National Oilwell Varco. Above it is the working/weather deck fitted with a track system and transportation skids provided by AxTech for deploying either of the two massive ploughs offshore. An A-frame delivered by AxTech with a 250tonnes safe working load (SWL) offshore and active heave compensation winch is mounted at the aft end of the deck. Between the working deck and the accommodation is a large ROV hangar. A 7.2m x 7.2m moonpool is provided amidship with a hatch in the work deck and with a closable hatch at the bottom to prevent sea water pumping at the high transit speed. Equipment can be deployed through the moonpool using the offshore crane from National Oilwell Varco, which is rated for a 250tonnes lift up to 35m outreach and 3500m working depth.
Far Samson has a hybrid propulsion combining diesel electric and diesel mechanical transmission to give optimal operating flexibility, fuel economy and minimum exhaust emissions. Depending on the type of operation, the UT 761 CD can run in any of six principal propulsion modes. This flexibility means that the widely varying power requirements are efficiently catered to, there is a high level of propulsion redundancy, and engines are run at an efficient part of their load range, minimising exhaust emissions. All Bergen engines meet Clean Design class rules without further exhaust clean-up, but catalytic converters are additionally fitted to the gensets, giving 95% NOx reduction. One major role for the new Farstad vessel will be pipeline trenching. The charterer is a leading specialist in this type of work and has developed a new generation plough that is capable of cutting a 2.5m deep trench in the seabed, compared with the 1.5m typical previously, allowing for larger pipe diameters and giving the pipe better protection. A distinctive feature of the design is a double deck bridge layout. The navigation wheelhouse follows current UT-Design principles, with a semicircular bridge front and the main forward facing control station for transit and navigation placed for optimum sight lines. On the deck below is a second set of consoles enjoying a good view over the working deck, from which ploughing and other winch operations can be controlled. DP3 and other controls are also slaved to this position. On the same deck is a plough/control/survey space, an instrument room, suites of offices and a conference room. Far Samson will be responsible for picking up the ploughs and use the first period of work for commissioning tests and mobilisation. Various projects such as subsea support, ROV support and craneage work have been scheduled in between the ploughing operations. This is a large, expensive and complex vessel. With a bollard of 280tonnes this is a less powerful vessel, but it has for many years handled deep water ploughing giving great satisfaction, trenching to what has been up to now the normal depth of cut of 1.5m in up to 500m water depth.

arasan is one of two 69m Austal high-speed vehicle/passenger catamaran ferries delivered to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in April 2009. With the capacity to carry 650 passengers, 50 cars and 15 trucks, the two aluminium catamarans are part of a group of four Austal vehicle-passenger ferries ordered by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Finance in 2007. Farasan and Jazan are operated by The Maritime Co. for Navigation from the port of Jazan in the south of Saudi Arabia along a 25 nautical mile route to Farasan Island. As the island’s main link to the mainland, the vessels’ multi-purpose design features a vehicle deck carrying capacity typical of much larger platforms, with space for 15 7tonnes trucks and maximum axle loads of up to 10tonnes. There is also space for 50 cars with trucks or 74 cars without trucks. Austal has designed and installed both bow and stern vehicle ramps to ensure efficient vehicle transfer and reduced port turnaround times, meeting the client’s need for “drive-through” capability. Suited to the short distance of the intended route, each vessel has a cost effective service speed of 32knots, with power from four MTU 16V 4000 M73L diesel engines producing 2880kW each. Utilising advanced design technology, the vessel’s hull forms have been optimised to ensure maximum fuel efficiency, which, along with the cost-effective service speed, deliver fuel consumption of
only 2.21tonnes/hour (including generators). The high passenger density expected on the service meant Austal’s interior design team worked closely with the client to develop a highly practical seating arrangement for 650 passengers that maximises space and accessibility. All seating is situated on the upper deck, with seating density deliberately maintained at a passenger-friendly level of no more than three seats per row. Facilities located on the passenger deck include a boutique gift store, food preparation and service area and a dedicated VIP lounge overlooking the bow. In consideration of the cultural requirements of the route’s predominantly Muslim clientele, the passenger deck features a dedicated seating area for families and children, as well as both men and women’s prayer rooms and a children’s play room. Farasan Island’s relatively small port means that vessel manoeuvrability was another important design consideration. Electric bow thrusters installed on each hull improve vessel manoeuvrability at slow speed in harbour, while passenger comfort is assured with the installation of Austal Ride Control, incorporating two interceptors and two forward T-foils. A state-of-the-art bridge deck features the Austaldeveloped Marine Link ship control and monitoring system, allowing extensive monitoring of core onboard equipment as well as providing a comprehensive on-line system to manage all user manuals as well as ship drawings and documentation.

T
he Port of London Authority (PLA) has invested £2 million (US$3.1 million) in a fleet of five new, specially designed harbour patrol launches to patrol the Thames River. The first vessel, Lambeth, was delivered to PLA in September 2009; three months after sea trials had taken place. Lambeth is a deep-V catamaran hull and her ‘Wave Length’ design was developed in conjunction with Newcastle University and tested in the towing tanks at the University. The characteristics of a deep-V hull form allows for low resistance and good sea-keeping. Her structural design has been optimised in order to reduce the overall weight of the boat thereby enhancing performance and as a result allowing her to achieve a top speed of 21kts with just 400bhp of installed power, making her one of the most environmentally friendly harbour patrol boats in operation.
Lambeth has a comfortable wheelhouse with a galley, a WC and seating for 12 passengers, as well as ample working deck space and two ‘step down’ platforms aft for waterborne recovery operations or diver support. She is also fitted with pilot boarding steps which can be removed when she is not engaged in pilot duties and a lowering mast for low air draught bridges. The design of the new launches is the product of five years of careful research and development, aimed at equipping the harbour and pilotage services with the most modern and efficient vessels for the job. The vessel and her four sisters will produce substantially lower exhaust emissions than other vessels of their type, reduced fuel consumption, reduced wash wave generation, easier maintenance and operation due to their design and improved reliability and availability using innovative engineering to design out known sources of equipment failure. Lambeth and her sister patrol boats will be used in the middle and lower districts of the tidal Thames, between Putney Bridge and the North Sea. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

October 2007 Delivery date......................................April 2009 amnalco Sana'a, the first in a series of four new L high-performance terminal/escort tugs, was delivered by Med Marine of Turkey to Lamnalco
Group of the United Arab Emirates in April 2009. Two of the other sister vessels Lamnalco Aden and Lamnalco Mukalla were delivered later in 2009. Lamnalco Sana'a is the latest in a series of RAstar tugs being built for liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal operations worldwide to new designs developed by Robert Allan Ltd., naval architects of Vancouver, British Columbia. This powerful escort tug is equipped for typical ship-handling and escort work, with a Plimsoll model PC-HAETW/CDDG-26-50/250 double-drum hawser winch on the fore deck, with a capacity for each drum of 300m, 64mm diameter plus 150m of 80mm UHMWPE synthetic hawser. The escort-rated winch is driven by a twin-pump electrohydraulic set, and features a two speed drive system, capable of line recover/rendering at 50tonnes line pull at 20m/minute, or 16tonnes at 60 m/minute (first layer). The aft deck is fitted with a heavy duty towing winch, a Plimsoll model PC-HTW/SD-80/150, fitted with 750 m of 52 mm diameter SWR, with a brake capacity of 150 t. The aft deck is also fitted with Plimsoll pneumatic towing hook with rated load of 100tonnes and a large knuckle boom crane. Accommodations are to a very high standard for a crew of up to ten persons. Two spacious officer's cabins on the main deck each have private en-suite facilities, while two of the four double cabins below deck also have private en-suite facilities. The fully equipped galley serves a large common lounge/mess area, equipped with the latest in video and audio entertainment systems. Attention was paid throughout the design process to mitigating the propagation of noise and vibration
through the essential resilient mounting of the main engines, isolation of all exhaust system components, and the extensive use of visco-elastic floating floor systems throughout. The wheelhouse is designed to provide maximum all-round visibility from a single split type master console. Lamnalco Sana'a is built in accordance with Bureau Veritas regulations for a 1 Hull, Mach Escort Tug, Fire Fighting Ship 1 with water spray, AUT UMS, unrestricted service. The fire-fighting capability is provided by a pair of FFS main-engine driven pumps, each rated 1378m³/ hour, which serve a pair of FFS-1200SB water/foam monitors, each rated at 1,200m³/hour, and the selfprotection waterspray system. Electric power is developed by three 315kW diesel gensets, and by a third harbour/emergency genset, rated at 90kW. The main propulsion components include a Wärtsilä 9L26 rated at 3060kW at 1000rpm at 100% MCR and LIPS Model CS300-S1WN-K Z-Drives with an input power of 3060kW at 1000rpm. The RAstar design hull form incorporates a significant sponson on the upper hull sides. When the tug is heeled over under influence of the towline during an escort operation, the "downhill" sponson is submerged and a large righting force is generated to improve the stability, thus increasing the towline force. In addition, the hull has a large foil-shaped skeg, also designed to increase indirect towline forces. The RAstar hull form also provides dramatic reductions in roll amplitude and roll accelerations, thus providing a safer and more comfortable platform for crews, who are now being asked to conduct docking operations at LNG terminals and similar installations in up to sea-states of 3.0m significant wave heights.

amen Stan Patrol 3507, Mako Shark, is the first of a series of 10 patrol vessels that Damen has built for The Singapore Police Coast Guard. This ship is constructed entirely of aluminium and has a propulsion system existing of three MTU 16V4000 engines driving Hamilton waterjets. The total propulsive power is 7500 kW, which results in a top speed op 35+ knots. Mako Shark PH 51 patrol boat was officially handed over by Dutch shipbuilder, Damen Shipyards Group, from their Singapore yard to the Singapore Police Coast Guard (PCG) at the PCG Brani Base on 3 February 2009. The guests-of-honour, police commissioner, Khoo Boon Hui, and managing director of Damen Shipyards Group, Erik van der Noorda, signed the handover certificate at the ceremony, signalling Singapore Police Force’s (SPF) acquisition of its first second-generation coastal patrol craft. CP Khoo, SPF leadership group members, and the top personnel of Damen Shipyards Group were then invited onboard the Mako Shark PH 51 for a short journey along Singapore’s south coast. The guests were also taken on a tour of the boat, during which
they were shown how it operates, much to their delight and awe. Being a high quality build, the Mako Shark PH 51 boasts several exceptional capabilities. Requiring 15 men to operate, the patrol craft can travel at an impressive maximum speed of 40kts, or up to 75kph. It also packs features a fully automated firing control system. The firing control system will automatically track targets at sea, and fires at a rate of 100 to 200 rounds per minute, with an accuracy of approximately one hit for every five rounds fired. With a displacement of 140tonnes and a length of 35m, Mako Shark is the largest patrol vessel to enter service with the PCG, and will undertake patrol duties of the country's territorial waters. The vessel is capable of speeds of up to 35kts, and is armed with a 25mm Rafael Typhoon and 2 CIS 50 12.7mm machine guns. Sergeant Teo Zi Qiang, chief radar plotter onboard the Mako Shark PH 51, was more than impressed with the new patrol craft. He said: “The Mako Shark PH 51 is evidently bigger than the previous craft I worked aboard. Efficiency is also much higher onboard the new boat, as almost everything is automated and there is much more equipment available for us to carry out our duties. Of course, our living quarters are more spacious, and everything is new, so living conditions are significantly better as well.” TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

P
olish shipyard Remontowa has successfully delivered a double-ended liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fuelled car/passenger ferry to owner Fjord1 MRF AS headquartered in Florø, Norway in December 2009. This complex vessel was co-designed by LMG Marin and Remontowa using Autocad/Cadmatic software and model tested in CTO Poland. The hull superstructure of Moldefjord is constructed of mild steel. Remontowa shipyard has more than ten years experience in designing and construction of car passenger ferries of different types and capacities for the west European market – and Norwegian clients are one of the key and perspective clients for the yard. Moldefjord and her sisters have been designed in cooperation between Remontowa Design Office and LMG Marin. The project represents a new generation of vessels, gas fuelled, which of course is very important for environmental protection and which fulfills very restrictive international regulations concerning the level of unacceptable emissions. The ferries will be included in a public transport of passenger/cars in Norway in the area of Molde. Moldefjord has a symmetric, double-ended hull with continuous deck for private cars and trucks – with access via hydraulically operated ramps and additional tween deck with two car lines on starboard side. The passenger lounge, HC restroom and number of passenger restrooms are provided. The propulsion system is of gas/diesel-electric type with azimuth thrusters mounted on each end of the vessel. The electricity will be produced by three generating sets: two of them LNG gas fuelled and one spare – regular diesel type. The vessels are highly automatic and optimized in respect of number of crew and fuel consumption. The deck equipment onboard Moldefjord includes 2 Hydroster/Rexroth hydraulic power units, 2 HCV30kN
SEC capstans, 1 HADW75KN SEC windlass and 2 bow ramps of 12m x 2.8m also by Hydroster. Bridge electronic equipment onboard Moldefjord is mostly supplied by Raytheon Anschütz of Germany apart from the GMDSS which is by Sailor, the global positioning system (GPS) which is by JLR and the automatic identification system which is by JHS. Moldefjord will be operating in the Molde-Vestness area of Norway. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

outh Boats Special Projects Ltd (SBSP) has successfully delivered its largest catamaran to date, and most significantly one of the most important crew vessels to be built for the offshore renewable sector. MPI Don Quixote is a South Catamaran 20m alloy wind farm service vessel and measures 20.9m loa, 8.5m beam, has a draught of 1.2m and has a lightship displacement (including fluids) of 54tonnes. The boat is the most capable boat yet built by SBSP and the vessel is equipped with a vast array of equipment to ensure that she can fulfil many diverse tasks on wind farm projects that are traditionally fulfilled by many smaller vessels. MPI Workboats Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of MPI Offshore Ltd. who own and operate the world’s largest self-propelled jack-up wind farm construction vessel, the MPI Resolution. MPI Workboats currently operate three South Catamaran 15m Wind Farm Service Vessels, the MPI Sancho Panza, MPI Rosinante and MPI Rucio that are currently working on the West and East Coasts of the UK. MPI Don Quixote is currently contracted to Siemens and is working on the Lynn & Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farm project from Grimsby. Ben Colman of SBSP, said: “We are delighted with the quality and performance of this vessel; we don’t believe there is anything with her capabilities in service and we are grateful to MPI for their valued order and commitment. MPI have already ordered further vessels and we look forward to working with them on these new and exciting projects”. The vessel follows standard South Boats design principles with symmetrical under water sections and asymmetrical wet deck knuckles and spray deflectors. The design includes a high buoyancy bow and triple internal spray knuckles to maintain a suspension of air/water to dampen pitching moments particularly in heavy weather. In addition the hulls maintain a parallel waterline beam through the length of the vessel allowing for good weight distribution around the vessel. The design offers class leading sea keeping, stability, fuel efficiency and manoeuvrability. The sea
keeping in particular has been proven in service operating in excess of 2.5m significant wave height. MPI Don Quixote is constructed of aluminium and is generally in accordance with Lloyd’s Special Service Craft Rules with all metal of marine grade 50830 and 6082T6 extrusions meeting the requirements of Lloyd’s Register of Shipping and Det Norske Veritas. Metal thicknesses vary to suit panel construction but typically 15mm at the keel, 8-12mm bottom flat, 6mm to the chine, 8mm chine bars, 5mm topsides and 5mm wheelhouse. To avoid edge to edge welding with differing sheet thicknesses, chine bars are used extensively to increase structural strength and avoid any thermal distortion and welding stress. Shell plating is spaced away from the frames at certain points to avoid stress points and all chine bars are slotted with radiused corners into the framing. The substantial framing and shell plating ensures maximum durability in an industry where vessel down time cannot be tolerated. Synergic, MIG & TIG welding practices are adopted and all welds are inspected and die penned prior to signing off. All hull transitions are fitted with a welded aluminium tube and flange bolted though a stainless flange insulated with Nebar gasket before stainless steel lever valves and Lloyd’s approved hoses. The vessel features an ‘Island’ superstructure forward with a 64m² working deck aft and 24m² working deck forward. The vessel has an open transom to enable easy access to the jet platforms and for loading heavier items without the need to lift over the bulwarks. The crane dominates the transom of the vessel but at the bow there is a MkIV bow loading platform to enable the vessel to work on offshore wind farms and also a Hercules Hydraulics rope and anchor handling capstan. The vessel is also fitted with an integral fuel transfer system to refuel wind turbine generators and has the ability to carry 10tonnes of fuel bunkers for transfer. The system has pumps rated to 40m pressure head and has a 40m hose reel and fuel nozzle stowed on the forward deck. The vessel is fitted with twin MTU 10V2000 M72 1205hp main engines close coupled to ZF3000 1.5:1 reduction ratio gearboxes driving a carden shaft through a gas tight bulkhead seal to the Ultra Dynamics UJ575 water jet units. This propulsion package offers the vessel a sprint speed of 27kts (with nearly 30kts recorded on trials at times) and a 24kt cruising speed at 2000rpm (combined 300ltrs/hr). At low cruising speeds (18kts at 1900rpm) the vessel offers a frugal fuel consumption of 200litres/ hour. At full 60tonnes displacement with full compliment of passengers, crew and 10 tonnes of deck cargo the vessel can still achieve speeds in excess of 24kts, well in excess of yard and client expectations. The fuel tank spaces are forward of he engine rooms and each is fitted with a 3000litres and 2000litres aluminium fuel tank fitted with a 2.5inches cam lock

filler fitting. The tanks have electric level gauges and also have calibrated dipsticks. The vessel is also fitted with 500litres of fresh water, 300litres of black water tanks, 80litres hot water calorifier, 150litres hydraulic tank, a 22kW Onan generator set and various air conditioning and fuel transfer pumps. All compartments are fitted with bilge level alarms, electric KPM Bilge Predator pumps and the engine and fuel tank spaces are fitted with a STAT X smoke and fire detection and suppression system. MPI Don Quixote has been inspected by the MCA with drawing approval, stability book and build checks and certified to operate under MCA Workboat Code to Operate in Category 2 Waters (60nm) for 12 passengers, 3 crew and 10,000kg’s of deck cargo in normal operation. For heavy lift operations the vessel has been inclined to check to carry up to 25tonnes on the after deck. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

wedish pilot and patrol boat builder Dockstavarvet has delivered a new 16.5m very high-speed police/ patrol craft design to multiple buyers. The new craft is an improved and upgraded version of the highly successful Interceptor Craft (IC) 16 M type of which a total of close to 30 units are already in service/in build for customers in Malaysia, Mexico, Poland and Russia. The standard IC 16m with 2 x 810kW main engines and axial flow waterjets has a sprint speed of 50+knots. The Mexican Navy version has been configured as a landing craft with a bow ramp and seating for 18 soldiers instead of the normal crew accommodation. The new IC 16.5m design has been enlarged and optimised to carry engines up to 2 x 1100kW and waterjets of the mixed flow type to be able to achieve speeds of over 53kts. Main dimension are 16.5m x 4.00m with a draught of 1.2m at a lightship displacement of 21tonnes. The accommodation can be laid out for a crew of 4 to 6 persons and the wheelhouse will be resiliently mounted to get a
comfortable noise level inside even at full speed. Technical installations will be to the highest standards developed by Dockstavarvet while building totally almost 300 high speed police/patrol/attack crafts of the CB 90 H and IC 16 M types over the last 20 years. Accumulated running hours are well over one million. The first two units based on the IC 16.5 M concept are laid out as VIP launches for a Middle-Eastern customer and have already been delivered. The new design will now be marketed as a top-of-the-line highspeed interceptor while the existing IC 16 M will continue as the landing craft alternative. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

hipyard Hijos de J. Barreras of Vigo (Barreras shipyard) has delivered the second in a family of four ferries, Passió per Formentera, to shipowner Baleària during a private ceremony held in September. Both Baleària and Barreras shipyard have each contributed their vast experience and know-how to this ferry’s design and construction. The construction of Passió per Formentera involved an investment of €42 million (US$62.9 million) and involved 1,400,000 hours of work carried out by the shipyard’s staff and the auxiliary industry in Vigo. Passió per Formentera is part of the new series of vessels that Baleària ordered to the shipyard, the first of which – Martín i Soler, is fully operating since January 2009. Martín i Soler is larger in size than Passió per Formentera, but is of very similar design. Just like Martín i Soler and the two vessels still under construction, Passió per Formentera adapts to the peculiarities of the different ports and marine traffic perfectly well. The hull of the vessel was constructed at Barreras shipyard but completed at Portuguese shipyard Estaleiros Navais de Viana do Castelo (ENVC). Passió per Formentera is also a tourist slogan for the smallest of the Balearic Islands. In keeping with the slogan this passenger ferry – the smallest one of the series – was designed to optimise the port infrastructures of the island and to deal with the traffic between Formentera and Ibiza and between Formentera and mainland Spain. The project was developed by the technical departments of Barreras shipyard and Baleària through a resource and development and innovation programme. The ferry has six decks, two of them being designed for cargo purposes. Passió per Formentera is 101m loa and 17m beam, has a capacity for 800 people – crew and passengers included, and can house 80 cars and eight trailer
trucks combined. Furthermore, a modular system allows 304 lane metres for trailers or 540 lane metres for cars in the hold. Thanks to the ramps located at stern and bow, loading operations can be made easily and quickly. Like in the other vessels of the series, the energy consumption has been optimised. Propulsion has been solved with two main motors of 4500kW each – 9000kW in total, that allow a service speed of 20kts. These state-of-the-art motors have been supplied by Norwegian manufacturer Rolls-Royce Bergen. This way, the level of emissions has been minimised and is very much below the one required by the environmental regulations. Lifts and a mechanical ramp allow easy and quick access of passengers from the hold or from the dock to the passenger areas. Just like the other vessels of the Baleària + series, the interior design is impeccable and so are the seat design and ergonomics. The vessel has spacious exterior terraces where to enjoy the navigation comfortably. Company Oliver Design – specialised in ships architectural projects and Valencian decorator Jorge Belloch collaborated in this project. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

P
ilbara Thor is the latest of the RAmparts 3200-class tugs to be built from a design by Robert Allan, Vancouver, Canada. Delivered by New Zealand-based Shipco Marine Constructors of Whangarei in December 2008, Pilbara Thor is the first of two new terminal support tugs for Australia’s Rio Tinto. The vessel entered service at the Pilbara ore terminal near Dampier, Australia in January 2009. Robert Allan worked closely with the Rio Tinto’s representatives, Trevor Cosh and Associates and Edwards Marine Services to establish the final specification and vessel layout for the demanding service of this 32m x 11.6m tug. The hull form reflects the double chine form that characterises all Robert Allan designs, with a sweeping ‘chined’ stern. A large escort skeg is fitted forward to enhance the indirect towing capability and to provide enhanced roll stability. On trials the vessel performed well, achieving a sustained mean bollard pull of 70.5tonnes ahead, and 67.5tonnes astern at full power and a free-running speed of 12.8kts ahead and over 12kts astern. Features of the RAmparts 3200 design include a half-raised forecastle running nearly half the length of the tug to provide a high standard of accommodation and a good sea-keeping capability for operation in exposed conditions. The fore deck is served by two line-handling winches and a double aperture staple. The vessel has been outfitted to the highest standards
for a crew of up to six people, although the normal operating crew is three. The main deck features a ship's office and a spacious crew mess/lounge, served by a fully equipped, modern galley. The wheelhouse is designed for maximum all-round visibility with a single control station providing maximum visibility to both fore and aft deck working areas. Noise levels below 60dBA were achieved throughout the accommodation and control spaces of the tug by utilising advanced methods of isolating main propulsion machinery, as well as high grade insulations and floating floor techniques. Main propulsion for Pilbara Thor comprises a pair of Niigata 6L 28HX diesel engines, each rated 1838kW at 750rpm, and each driving a Niigata Model ZP 41 fixed pitch Z-drive unit, through a Niigata HLP80Y type slipping clutch and Stromag Flex Coupling, all in ASD configuration. The electrical plant comprises two identical Volvo Penta diesel gensets, each with a 415V/50Hz. power output of 120kW. Fire-fighting is to Fi-Fi 1 Class, using Counterfire pumps and monitors. The two pumps are driven from the front of the main engines through Kumera PTOs. The port pump is rated 1500m³/hour, which includes the required deluge capacity, and the starboard pump is rated 1200m³/hour. Foam is injected into the system via a round-the-pump type inductor. The main hawser winches forward, manufactured directly by Shipco Marine Constructors are single drum type, each containing 100m x 88m polyester eight plait with a 15m by 68mm sacrificial UHHMPE tail. On the aft deck there is a capstan for line-handling and a knuckle-boom crane for stores. Ship-handling fenders at the bow comprise a cylindrical fender above a row of 450mm ‘W’ block fenders. A ‘D’ fender provides protection at the main and forecastle deck sheer lines, and ‘W’ block type fendering is used again at the stern. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

amson Maritime and Strategic Marine, two Western Australian companies, have cooperated to set new design and construction standards for two multi-million dollar high-speed utility and crew vessels built specifically for the Australian offshore market. Fremantle maritime support solutions company Samson Maritime ordered the two 40m fast utility vessels from Henderson-based Strategic Marine in July 2008, with the first of the vessels launched in early May 2009 at Strategic Marine’s Singapore yard and the second vessel launched in August. Samson Supporter and Samson Supplier have a top speed in excess of 25kts, business class seating for 50 passengers with the ability to increase passenger numbers to 100 by the use of a modular interior, accommodation for 12 crew members, 120m² of deck space, as well as a central deck house. Some of the unique features of the Samson vessels are their use of dynamic positioning to allow the vessel to remain on station for extended periods and conduct accurate ROV work, and a 1m² moonpool to allow hydrographic survey equipment to be deployed in a secure housing.
Samson Supporter and Samson Supplier also have an A-frame crane installed on the aft of the cargo deck and Fi-Fi 1 for fire fighting, including a vessel deluge system. Samson Maritime director Jeremy Williams said these features were not required by industry standard crew boats, meaning the two vessels were truly unique. Williams said: “This brand new design combines the best of established maritime design principles with leading edge technology. Importantly, these new vessels are built to the stringent requirements needed to operate them on the Australian coast. He added: “These boats have the inbuilt flexibility to allow them to perform a wide range of both inshore and offshore maritime support tasks, including high speed supply runs, crew transfer, safety support and intervention and inshore and offshore survey tasks.” Strategic Marine delivered the vessels ahead of schedule and within budget.

D Eva is a customized version of the standard Damen “Sea Axe” fast crew supplier 3307 (FCS 3307). Since the first Damen Sea Axe vessel was launched at the end of 2006, 23 vessels with this remarkable hull form, varying in length between 33m and 50m, were sold by Damen. The Damen “Sea Axe” Fast Crew Suppliers were developed as crew boats or fast suppliers for the offshore industry. SD Eva however is an exception. This ship will be used for the Royal Navy for transferring people to and from submarines, which has to be done on open sea. For this purpose, SD Eva is fitted with a specially designed waterline fendering installation and a brow for establishing a bridge between SD Eva and a submarine. Diverging from the standard Damen ‘Sea Axe’ Fast Crew Supplier design, SD Eva only has two shaft lines instead of three, as the required speed of 22kts could be reached with only two installations.
SD Eva is part of a large new build order of 29 vessels from SD Marine Services to Damen, which when introduced into service, will be operated by Serco in support of its 15-year PFI contract with the UK Ministry of Defence to provide marine support services to the Royal Navy. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

SEASPAN RESOLUTION: Tier II-compliant dynamic tractor/escort tug for Seaspan Builder’s name........

S
easpan Resolution completed trials and was delivered to Seaspan, by builder JM Martinac Shipbuilding of Tacoma Washington, six weeks ahead of its scheduled delivery on 30 June 2009. Once in operation this new 6000hp tractor/escort tug became the keystone of Seaspan’s ship assist tug fleet partnering with Seaspan Discovery and will undoubtedly become the escort tug of choice in the port. Seaspan’s new tug is the third of its class built by JM Martinac Shipbuilding with the first two vessels delivered last year, being operated by Foss in Puget Sound and San Francisco Bay. The design is by local Vancouver naval architecture firm, Robert Allan Ltd who were also the designers of the Cates 2400 series tractors and the Seaspan Hawk and Seaspan Falcon. Tractor tugs are now considered the standard platform for ship assist work both in harbour and in escort, and in the last five years there has been large numbers of these vessels built and ordered as replacements for the aging, outdated, harbour tug fleets worldwide. An additional capability now purposely built into modern tractor tugs is the ability to produce dynamicassist forces, in excess of its rated static bollard pull, to a vessel underway. Tugs specifically designed to do this are called escort tugs and increasingly they are becoming a common part of ship assist services in ports and constricted waterways. To do this, new tractor designs like the Seaspan Resolution are fitted with large fixed skeg keels opposite from the propulsors
that allow the hull to generate dynamic lift while tethered to another ship that is underway. This is done almost exactly in the same way a water skier would boost their speed, by whipping outside the towboats wake and pulling at an angle to the relative direction. These forces can be large and so the main winch and towing gear have to be capable of anchoring those forces. In the case of Seaspan’s new tug, a 250hp dynamic escort winch rated at 130tonnes indirect line pull performs that job. This new winch also has a unique capability, within our fleet, in that it can operate in a render recover mode. What that means is that the winch can be set to a specific line force pull, if the pull on the line exceeds that force the winch will automatically slip, paying out line until the pull goes below the setting (render) and then winch the line back in while under tension (recover). This can be of significant benefit when operating in rougher conditions where coming up hard on the towline has done damage to both tug and assisted vessel in the past. Purposely designed as a workhorse, Seaspan Resolution has also been carefully designed and outfitted to be a safe and comfortable vessel for its crews with a fully functional galley and mess area on in the lower deckhouse complete with a lounge and eating area, modern flat screen TV/DVD setup that can also display information from ECDIS electronic chart plotting system. The deckhouse features a separate washroom/shower, first aid room and ship’s office. The main diesel engines are resiliently mounted to reduce the production of structure based noise and large critical grade silencers were squeezed into the exhaust casings to reduce on deck noise created by the powerful main engines. To further isolate engine room noise from the deckhouse and wheelhouse the casings are separated from the forward spaces by a breezeway corridor athwartships on the main deck. The machinery space also is fitted with a large watertight door between the Z-drive compartment and the engine room making access between the spaces easy and efficient. Both the lower deckhouse and the upper wheelhouse have independent air conditioning systems to provide a comfortable working temperature, even on the hottest of days. Seaspan Resolution is equipped with Tier II compliant main engines and generators, and the generators are sized large and small so that in times of low electrical
54
SSS 09 - p54+55.indd 54
demand the smaller engine can be operated. A sewage treatment system is also fitted, as is an oily water separator unit. To assist in crew access and safety the vessel is equipped with bulwark gates for safer and easier boarding of the vessel with stores and supplies, and a man over board davit and recovery system, now standard on Seaspan tractor tugs, as well as life raft launching rails and a workboat. Also a first in the Seaspan fleet, Seaspan Resolution is fitted with dual direction navigation lights so it can operate in either direction allowing the ability to tow in a winch aft configuration at night.

SEYCHELLES PARADISE: Eco-friendly small cargo tanker from German yard Builder’s name......................... Lindenau GmbH Designer.................................. Lindenau GmbH Vessel’s name................... Seychelles Paradise Owner/operator..............Seychelles Petroleum Company Ltd (Seypec). Country.........................Republic of Seychelles Flag .............................Republic of Seychelles Total number of sister ships already completed.........................................................0 Total number of sister ships still on order.........0 Contract date....................... 2 September 2008 Delivery date...........................31 October 2009 T Seychelles Paradise is part of a concept from M the Government of the Seychelles to improve the maritime infrastructure and to protect the sensitive
islands against oil pollution and gas accidents. In October 2009 Lindenau shipyard delivered Seychelles Paradise to Seypec Ltd. Lindenau shipyard is a German shipyard well-known for the construction of large double-hull tankers optimising overall-economy, safety and environmental compatibility. These ships have an excellent global reputation and have received 14 international awards for their excellent qualities (such as in companion publication Significant Ships in the years 1997, 1999, 2005 and 2006). This is the company’s latest move into the smaller craft market. Seypec Ltd. is the national oil and gas company of the Seychelles and owns the most modern tanker fleet in the Indian Ocean. These ships ensure the domestic supply and also participate in the global seaborne market for oil and chemicals. Seychelles Paradise was developed in order to supply the Seychelles islands with oil and liquefied gases (LPG), to supply foreign vessels with bunker fuel at the anchorage of Victoria and to serve as a crew training vessel for the education of officers and seamen for the national fleet. The ship has a redundant propulsion plant with excellent manoeuvrability, consisting of 2 resiliently mounted main engines, 2 controllable pitch propellers, 2 rudders and a bow thruster. This concept ensures unique small turning circles, soft power control and maximum safety against casualties. The tactical diameter of the turning circle is only 40% of the IMO-limit, which is an outstanding performance result for a bunker vessel qualified for ship-shipberthing. A double hull surrounds all cargo- and fuel tanks. Six epoxy-coated cargo tanks with smooth surfaces
and four frequency-controlled screw pumps with a simultaneous discharge rate of 600m³/h are provided. Cargo flow meters, oil spill recovery units, special fenders and a manifold crane 5t-16m are supplied for bunker service. Furthermore a 102 m³ LPG-plant with 2 pumps a’ 20m³/h is installed on deck. Main dimensions and hull form were optimised to allow a flexible bunker service with changing drafts and slack cargo tanks. High hydrostatic stability was required to avoid roll resonance in the Seychelles sea (area 69) and to compensate the top-weights of the spacious deckhouse and the LPG tanks. Permissible bending moments for longitudinal strength are 62% above class requirement resulting in a comfortable margin for partial load service. Utmost efforts were invested to minimize fuel consumption and any kind of emission. More than 20% savings of power demand for propulsion and ships service were achieved during the optimisation process in the design phase resulting in a serious reduction of operation costs during the lifetime of the ship. The slender hull form, computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-optimisation of ship lines and shaft inclination, low propeller loads (120kg/m²) and a power management system contributed to this result. Integrated computer systems for cargo handling and monitoring, engine control and navigation are part of the crew training program and minimize the risk of human error. Seychelles Paradise is a trend-setting pilot project in respect to safe, ecological and economical transport of oil and gas, which will probably be copied for other domestic services in the world.

U
nión Naval Valencia (UNV), a member of Boluda Shipyards Group (Grupo Boluda) delivered the RAstar 3200 class tug, SMBC Monterrey, to its owners SMBC in February 2009. SMBC Monterrey, which has been built in the Unión Naval Valencia installations, will carry out tasks of port towing, escort, waste collection, and fire protection. In order to do so it has two propulsion units and can attain 2000rpm, thanks to its two diesel engines. SMBC Monterrey is the first of a series of four liquefied natural gas (LNG) support escort tugs, expressly designed to work at the Costa Azul LNG terminal on the northwest coast of Mexico, at a terminal exposed to fully developed Pacific swells. The basic requirements for the tug design stipulated that the tug and its winch must be able to sustain a line pull of 75tonnes throughout the entire terminal approach in a +2 metre significant swell. The resulting winch, described in detail later, is massive and extremely powerful; accordingly it dominated every aspect of the vessel design. In addition, SMBC required that the entire design be less than 500grt, which was a challenge to the intended vessel configuration. In order to cope with the predominant sea conditions, Robert Allan Ltd. chose to utilise the new RAstar hull form for best sea-keeping. The 500grt constraint forced some minor modifications to that concept, and also forced a shortening of the forecastle. The tug’s basic hull form reflects the double chine form that characterises all Robert Allan Ltd. designs, with a
sweeping chined stern. A large escort skeg is fitted forward which in conjunction with the sponsoned hull shape enhances the indirect towing capability and provide much enhanced roll stability. During sea trials SMBC Monterrey performed exceptionally well, achieving a mean bollard pull of 82.5tonnes. Low noise levels throughout the accommodation and control spaces of the tug are achieved by utilising advanced methods of isolating main propulsion machinery, as well as high-grade insulation and floating floor techniques. On of the most distinctive features of this series of tugs is the main hawser winch on the fore deck. The most obvious difference to a normal ship-handling tug winch is the fact that this winch is arranged in a waterfall configuration. This solution, proposed by Robert Allan Ltd. to the winch manufacturer, put the drums in line, making escort operations through a single staple much easier. The Markey DESDF-48WF winch fitted is claimed by the manufacturer to be the most advanced high-performance electric hawser winch in the world. This 521kW winch features dual drums each with a capacity of 200m of 80mm UHMW-PE soft line for use against a bollard pull of 75tonnes. The unit was designed to perform close escort service in conditions up to Sea State 5 with 3m significant wave height with a 14 second wave period. Using Variable-Frequency electric drives, dynamic motor braking and water-cooled disc brakes, this winch is capable of asymmetric render/recover operation that will maintain constant line tension under such rough sea conditions. The hawser winch is accompanied by a 7.5kW WEPC-14 anchor windlass and a 15kW CEP-60 stern capstan also by Markey Machinery Co. The aft deck is served by a large H-Bitt and a vertical capstan for general line-handling. Shiphandling fenders at the bow comprise two parallel rows of 900 x 450 cylindrical fenders. 350 x 350 hollow "D" fenders provide protection at the main and forecastle deck sheer lines, and around the stern. UNV has built the remaining three sister tugs, SMBC Tijuana, SMBC Mexicali and SMBC Rosarito and they are all operating from their destination port in Ensanada, Mexico. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

A
stilleros Armon SA successfully delivered escort/ terminal tug Spinola to owner Tug Malta in July 2009. The €10.7 million (US$14.6 million) tug was primarily designed to operate in the Maltese harbours and their approaches. The tug is fully equipped with Fire-Fighting Class 1, oil recovery and salvage equipment, in order to be prepared for any emergency that may occur in Maltese waters, or off port in the Mediterranean. The vessel is equipped with Voith Schneider propulsion and twin MaK main engines able to give a total power of 7180bhp, resulting in the powerful bollard pull of 80tonnes. The winch installed on board the tug is a double drum in waterfall arrangement, having the upper drum for long distance purposes with a drum capacity of 1000m steel wire rope. The tug also has a lower drum divided into two sections, one for escorting purposes (capacity 250m of synthetic rope) and one for harbour towing (capacity 150m of synthetic rope). The vessel has a clear deck area of around 90m² (without the towing staple) or 9m x 10.8m. Spinola is a near sister to Messico (Armon Hull 651). Main differences are a redesign of the aft hull to accommodate a stern roller and flush mounted Karmoy tow pins and shark jaws. Custom fendering allows the vessel to still perform harbour and escort duties off the aft main working deck. The escort
towing staple is removable to maximize aft deck space for deck cargo or anchor handling assist work. Deck is rated for 5tonnes/m². The vessel was delivered to Malta from Spain under the command of Capt. Herman Thornton, Tug Malta’s Operations Manager and manned by a Maltese crew. She will be based in Malta and will carry out both harbour towage services and salvage/off port towage services. It is believed that Tug Malta intends to apply for RINA’s comfort class notations COMF-NOISE C and COMF-VIB C, but at the time of writing this could not be confirmed. Spinola is the latest addition to Tug Malta’s present fleet of six modern tugs. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

afehaven Marine, based in Ireland have just delivered Spitfire the first of two of its Interceptor 55 (16.5m) pilot/patrol boats ordered by VT Critical services who will be leasing the vessels to the ABP Port of Southampton, one of the UK's largest and most prestigious ports. They will replace their current old Halmatic FRC vessels. Safehaven Marine was awarded the contract to build the two new vessels against stiff competition from other UK and International yards. The first vessel Spitfire was delivered just prior to the Seawork 2009 workboat show in Southampton where she was displayed to much acclaim for her fine lines and high build quality. The two vessels will be used as patrol boats on Southampton waters and also as pilot boats alongside their existing Nelson 48/50.s. As one of their primary roles is providing 24hr cover on Southampton waters they are equipped with full live aboard 'hotel facilities' and are fitted out to a very high standard, featuring an 8,000btu air conditioning unit, a 6.5kW, 1500rpm generator providing 240V throughout the vessel, full galley facilities with a 240V electric hob, microwave, hot and cold water. There is a large, separate heads with showering facilities, holding tank and pump out facilities. One of the advantages of the Interceptor design which has the engines mounted just aft of the LCG is the spacious forward accommodation area providing twin bunk berths, a large seating area and table, full galley with an abundance of locker storage. A midships cabin provides 10 individual full height crew lockers and storage holds for specialized oil spill response equipment the vessel will carry. Spitfire’s main cabin features a new glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) moulding specially developed to suit the crews preference for a port side helm position, designed
to encompass the helmsman with all navigational equipment, engine controls and instrumentation easily visible and falling quickly to hand providing a focused driving environment. Spitfire has a central access to the forward accommodation and a crew position featuring its own dedicated console to starboard. Behind the helm is a second larger dedicated navigation position with a large work top, angled instrument console and storage lockers allowing the navigator to monitor ship movements with a full paper chart assisting navigation throughout Southampton's busy waters. Opposite are two pilot seats for when the vessel is operating in pilotage duties. At the aft of the cabin she features a VIP area with a large, circular seating area with a table between to port and a second large 'L' shaped settee to starboard, allowing comfortable seating for when she is used to carry dignitaries. The cabin has been finished correspondingly to a high standard with walnut effect wood laminate, a teak and holy cabin sole and corian effect work tops to provide a high-class ambiance throughout. Spitfire is powered by Scania D16 engines through Twin Disc V drive 'Quick Shift' gearboxes which allow precise fingertip control of the vessel at slow maneuvering speeds, and allow creep speeds of les than 1kts, an advantage when operating in close quarters maneuvers. The vessel has a 25kt max speed at a 25,000kg displacement. Scania D16 V8 engines were chose due to their compact nature and proven service record. Engine removal is facilitated via an large opening hatch on the aft deck which is capable of being opened for maintenance quickly without breaking a silkaflex seal, and will allow the engines to be lifted straight out of the craft without the need for further lengthwise maneuvering of the engines. The vessel has a flush aft deck which provides a seating area. This has been incorporated in to the engine ventilation boxes which also feature emergency engine room escape access on one module and storage locker space incorporated into the other module. One of the vessels roles will be the removal of floating flotsam such as trees, pallets and other debris that often finds its way into the channel and becomes a hazard for boat users. To facilitate this she is fitted with a large stainless steel basket that can be lowered down 400mm below the surface to recover flotsam. In addition the platform doubles as an MOB recovery system. The basket is hydraulically operated via a stainless steel ram and has a 200kg lifting

SSS 09 - p64+66.indd 64
capacity. The aft cockpit area allows the carrying of recovered objects to shore. Her hull design is twin chine deep-V, with a full length keel; this gives her a soft ride into head seas, tremendous stability running beam on in big seas with little rolling and great directional stability downwind. She will be fitted with a Safehaven developed ride control Interceptor / trim tab system which lowers running trim to a wave splitting 1.5 degrees for fast head sea work allowing her to punch trough 2m seas at 20kts. Being able to adjust running trim keeps her sharp (55deg deadrise) bow immersed into head seas and lifts the bow in following seas preventing her burying in to the back of waves. This, coupled with an exceptionally low VCG gives her exceptional levels of sea keeping. She was delivered by sea by Southampton’s crew who were very impressed by her very low noise and vibration levels and comfort as well as her responsive handling and sea keeping during their 140nm Irish Sea leg in 2-3m seas.

Guard Service on 10 August 2009. Sprut is the next development of a series of environment protection vessels designed by German company Abeking & Rasmussen. Three partly outfitted hulls with successive building numbers (6457, 6458, 6459) which includes Sprut (6457) have been built for the German customer by Yantar shipyard during 2001 to 2003. This series of patrol vessels features a displacement of 900tonnes and is distinguished by high fuel economy due to the use of MTU engines with output of 5500kWt. Sprut and the rest of the series can reach a high speed of 22kts. The patrol vessel has an operational endurance of 30 days and has hull lines similar to fishing vessels, giving her the possibility to come close to potential poachers and/or trespassers. Assembly of the vessel’s hull began on 16 June 2003 and the first vessel was launched at the end of that Significant Small Ships of 2009

year. The second order for the Russian Border Guard Service was laid on the building berth in November 2004. Four more environment protection vessels of the series were then planned. On 12 October 2007 Yantar shipyard conducted the launching ceremony for Sprut. Representatives of Frontier Service of Federal Security Service of Russian Federation, Concern of Medium and Small Shipbuilding (Moscow) and of the government bodies of Kaliningrad took part in the ceremony. Special purpose environment protection patrol vessel Sprut, was built in series for Frontier Service of Federal Security Service of Russian Federation, and was constructed on the grounds of German design, finished by FSUE Central Design Bureau ‘Almaz’ according to special requirements of Frontier Service of the Russian Federation and requirements of Russian Ship Register. Sprut and the rest of the series have already been commissioned and are on permanent duty in the Baltic Sea. With an endurance of 30 days and capability to replace, complement and replenish food and water at sea via a helicopter, the ship can perform as a floating base for fast patrol craft or a flagship of tactical task force. Sprut is a modern example of the sort of ‘newgeneration’ patrol vessels to come from Russian yards. During planning stage this vessel was realised as an idea to essentially decrease crew numbers due to the application of the most advanced technologies and computer-aided facilities onboard. The vessel is equipped with diesel-electrical propulsion system and one propeller. It considerably increases endurance and cruising range of ship. This vessel has automatic engine control from main control post.

imek AS has delivered its newbuilding platform supply, rescue and standby vessel to Simon Møkster Rederi AS in Stavanger, Norway and is designed by Havyard Maritime AS, according to type Havyard 832 CD RS. The design is specially adapted to the job as a standby safety vessel in the North Sea. After its delivery, Stril Mariner changed flag from Norwegian to Faeroese and went into a 5-year charter for BP in the southern part of the North Sea. Stril Mariner is the first Havyard designed vessel to be delivered from Simek AS and the first vessel built by Simek to be delivered to Simon Møkster Shipping. The hull for Stril Mariner was built in Gdansk, Poland, as 5 steel blocks together with the superstructure being block no. 6. The blocks were transported to Flekkefjord on a barge for assembly in Simek AS’ heated building shed after blasting and painting in the separate blast and paint hall. The superstructure was assembled separately and partly fitted out before lifted on after launching of the hull 15 August 2009. The vessel is divided into watertight compartments and has double hull to comply with the Clean Design Class and SF for damage stability. Clean Design means that no fuel oil or any other liquids that are dangerous to the environment are in direct contact with the vessels shell. Between the sea and the harmful liquids there is a minimum of 760mm, containing sea or fresh water. This means that if a minor collision or grounding should occur, there will be no spill or danger to the environment. To avoid pollution to the air, the main generators exhaust system has been fitted out with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) exhaust gas cleaning system, cleaning the environmentally hazardous carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NOX) and hydrocarbons (VOC) in the exhaust with ammonia, and the nitrogen oxides of the exhaust gas becomes environmentally natural substances water (H2O) and nitrogen (N2), thus reducing the NOX with approx. 90%. Significant Small Ships of 2009
SSS 09 - p71+72.indd 71
The cargo deck of aft of the superstructure is 714m2, and lined with pinewood. On the main deck can be carried various deck cargo like pipes, containers, pallets etc. to the offshore installations. The cargo deck is protected at each side by safe haven with passage on top. Aft on main deck and amidship on the safe haven are loading and discharge stations, with the connection points for the liquid cargoes and bulk hoses. Aft on main deck is on starboard side a small house for hydraulic central and cargo manifold and various equipment. On top is arranged a winch zone where it is possible to lift personnel to helicopters, and during oil recovery operations, a Transrec oil skimmer is to be installed. On main deck are installed container sockets for fastening of oil booms and various containerised equipment during oil recovery. Oil recovery equipment is standardized and stored ashore at various locations along the Norwegian coast. If an accident should occur and a rescue operation is necessary, survivors will be taken onboard at the rescue zones amidships on each side. On A-deck, each side a MOB boat, with 230hp engines and waterjet, make GTC 7000 FRB, supplied by Mare Safety AS. The boats can do a speed of 3kts. Each MOB-boat is launched by davit, supplied by TTS Marine AS. Aft of the MOB-boats are one deck crane each side, supplied by Hydramarine AS. One of the deck cranes operates a Dacon scoop, which can take onboard personnel from the sea. The bridge deck gives an excellent view for manoeuvring the vessel. Forward are installed all the latest nautical equipment needed while steaming, sitting in the captain's chair supplied by Sørlandets Aluminium Produkter AS. Aft is another captain's chair within easy reach of the manoeuvre handles necessary for operating the vessel with the stern to the rig, discharging liquids and bulk and deck cargo. Discharge of liquids and dry bulk are monitored from the aft command via the Havyard IAS, Integrated Automation System, pump and valve control system supplied by Havyard International AS. On the bridge is the Rolls-Royce Marine AS supplied PosCon joystick system installed. Stril Mariner is also fitted out with a dynamic position, DP2, system of Rolls-Royce Marine AS make, type ICON DP2. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS

vitzer Kilroom was delivered from Freire shipyard in December 2008 to her owner at the Dragon LNG terminal in Milford Haven, UK. Svitzer Kilroom is the largest and most powerful of the ‘RAstar’ series of tugs designed by Robert Allan Ltd for this major terminal operation. This ‘RAstar 3900’ class tug completed trials in early December 2008. In addition to this 39m tug, a series of five smaller nearsisters, the ‘RAstar 3400’ class tugs are also being built by Freire for this demanding service. Svitzer Kilroom is equipped for typical ship-handling and escort work, with a Rolls-Royce model TW 3000/1000H single drum hawser winch on the fore deck, with a capacity for 250m of 76mm diameter high strength towline. The escort-rated winch is driven by a twin-pump electro-hydraulic pump set, and features a three speed drive system, capable of line recovery at 100 tonne line pull at 5.2m/min or of rendering at 150tonnes at 8m/min in the first speed range, or of recovering at 24tonnes at 18m/min and rendering at 50tonnes line pull at 28m/min in the third speed range. The aft deck is strengthened for an aft towing winch, but that is not presently fitted. In common with the majority of Robert Allan Ltd. designed tugs, a great deal of attention was paid throughout the design process to mitigate the propagation of noise and vibration. This includes the essential resilient mounting of the main engines, isolation of all exhaust system components, and the extensive use of visco-elastic floating floor systems throughout. The shipyard executed all these requirements exceptionally well, and the reward was an extremely quiet ship throughout. Svitzer Kilroom is built in accordance with Lloyd's Register of Shipping requirements for a 100A1 Escort Tug, Fire Fighting Ship 1 (2400m³/hr) with water spray, LMC, UMS, 1BS, NAV1 notation, and also in

compliance with the UK MCA regulations. The firefighting capability is provided by a pair of main-engine driven pumps, each rated 1400m³ cubic meters per hour, which serve a pair of Kvaerner water/foam monitors and a self-protection waterspray system. Main engines are a pair of General Electric 7FDM 16 diesels developing 3050kW each at 1050rpm at 100% MCR. These are coupled to Schottel SRP 3030 CP azimuthing thrusters. Svitzer Kilroom successfully completed trials in Spanish waters, delivering performance beyond all expectations during trials with a bollard pull of 117tonnes maximum and 113tonnes sustained ahead and 113/107tonnes astern maximum / sustained. Free running speed ahead was 15.7kts. The ‘RAstar’ design hull form incorporates a significant sponson on the upper hull sides. When the tug is heeled over under influence of the towline during an escort operation, the ‘downhill’ sponson is submerged and a large righting force is generated to improve the stability, thus increasing the towline force. In addition, the hull has a large foil-shaped skeg, also designed to increase indirect towline forces. The ‘RAstar’ hull form also provides dramatic reductions in roll amplitude and roll accelerations, thus providing a safer and more comfortable platform for crews, who are now being asked to conduct docking operations at LNG terminals and similar installations in up to sea-states of 3.0m significant wave heights. Svitzer Kilroom also features low noise levels in the deck levels and cabins. The recorded noise levels are as follows: • Bridge Deck: Wheelhouse 65 dBA • Main Deck: Galley 64 dBA Mess/Lounge 64 dBA • Master's Cabin 58 dBA • Chief Engineer Cabin 60 dBA • Lower Deck: Engine Room 110 dBA MCR 74 dBA • Crew cabins 58-60 dBA Svitzer Kilroom has numerous features for operating in LNG service including; such as gas sensors, the ability to positively pressurise accommodation and deck electrical equipment either safety rated or has ability to be de-energised from bridge. The fire-fighting capability is provided by a pair of main-engine driven pumps, each rated 1400m³/h, which serve a pair of Kvaerner water/foam monitors and a self-protection waterspray system.

hipyard Hijos de J Barreras of Vigo, Spain (hereafter Barreras shipyard) delivered 3D, 12-streamer seismic vessel WG Columbus to company WesternGeco after the trial period she was subjected to. This is the first one of a series of four vessels that WesternGeco has ordered from the shipyard. WG Columbus is the first seismic vessel built outside Ulstein Verft to feature Ulstein’s X-bow shape. WG Columbus is also the first seismic vessel with inverted bow shape ever to be built in Spain, and therefore is another milestone in the field of innovation and new technologies for shipyard Barreras. This vessel – which is of great technical complexity and very high added value, undoubtedly means the consolidation of the shipyard within a very competitive and highly committed to environmental protection offshore market. The seismic vessel contains state-of-the-art equipment, and the vessel has advanced dynamic positioning equipment. The diesel/electric propelling plant has been specially designed to make the fastresponse compatible with smooth movements of the vessel. It has six main generator sets of 1719kW each consisting of a 1000rpm, 1800kW diesel engine. WG Columbus has a heliport and accommodation space for Significant Small Ships of 2009
SSS 09 - p75+76.indd 75
69 people. The vessel was built in compliance with the regulations and under special monitoring by DNV, in order to achieve level 1A1 SF, EO, DYNPOSAUTR, CLEAN DESING, COMF-V839, ICE-C, NAUT-AW, and HELDK. WG Columbus is currently in operation in the Gulf of Mexico carrying out seismic operations. Ship owner WesternGeco, a business unit of Schlumberger Group, is the world's leading geophysical services company. This vessel and the three twin ones that have either been built or are currently under construction at shipyard Barreras are designed to prospect oilfields in any place in the world, studying the extraction feasibility of such whether gas or hydrocarbon fields –as regards both quantity and quality. WG Columbus, which is 88.8m loa and 19m beam, is the result of a technically very advanced project –the Ulstein SX124, carried out in close collaboration between Barreras shipyard’s technical department, the ship owner and Norwegian company Ulstein Design.

F
ire-fighting escort tug, Willy T, was constructed by Astilleros Zamakona Pasaia for operations in the harbour of Barcelona, Spain. The vessel’s main duties are port manoeuvres and towage, and additionally high sea towage when required. Due to the specific design by Seacor, the thrusters are located diagonally opposite one another. This ensures excellent manoeuvrability, and along with the flat bottom, a bollard pull of 78tonnes is achieved. The vessel is equipped with a marine control drive (MCD) from Twin Disc to allow Fi-Fi operation. Fi-Fi and water spraying is performed via two pumps of 1356m³/h each. Water is directed by two monitors and the water spraying circuit. Regarding Fi-Fi Significant Small Ships of 2009

capabilities, the vessel’s internal design includes a foam tank (4.8m³). Dispersant booms are also deployable for pollution control. To reduce operation of the gensets when the vessel is on standby, either in the harbour or outside waiting for a vessel, solar panels supply the vessel with the basic power required. Once in operation at least one of the gensets is initialised. The deck machinery has been supplied by Carral. The fendering system is from Schyler, manufactured with second-hand tyres on one hand, plus classical fenders from Norrubber. Kongsberg has supplied the station-keeping gear. TECHNICAL PARTICULARS
