New alliance goes ahead
Crowley Maritime Corporation’s solutions
group and PB Towage Ltd, part of the
2CEKſE $CUKP 5JKRRKPI )TQWR HQTOGF C
business alliance on 8th February.
The new union combines the companies’
respective services and regional positioning
to collectively broaden their project
management, marine project cargo and
logistics capabilities in Southeast Asia and
Oceania. It will enable them to provide
comprehensive project management, project
cargo transportation, logistics, ocean towing,
offshore support, salvage support and bulk
cargo transportation solutions to oil & gas,
mining, and Engineering, Procurement
and Construction Management (EPCM)
customers undertaking major infrastructure
projects in that region.
Charlie Kocherla, PB Towage Group
managing director, said: “We believe that the
alliance provides an excellent opportunity.
With continued growth in infrastructure

Asia, we will be able to draw on each other’s
strengths, skills and experience and be well

and quality, end-to-end logistic services.”
“We are very pleased to have formed
this alliance with PB Towage,” said Greg
Detiveaux, vice president of Business
Development, Crowley’s Solutions Group.
“PB Towage provides a great deal of synergy
in terms of aligning our project management
expertise and ocean towing and barging
capabilities with their regional leadership in
towing and barge transportation. This joint
effort will allow our companies to provide
customers with fully integrated turnkey
solutions for their special projects.”
The alliance will also provide customers
with representation and a seamless marine
cargo and logistics solution in and around the
US and Southeast Asia and Oceania, since
Crowley’s solutions team is based in Houston
and PB Towage operates in Australia and
New Zealand, both in harbour operations and
in project and ocean towage through its PB
Sea-Tow brand.
More yards for Brazil
The approval of a contract for 26 drilling
rigs in Brazil heralds the construction of
new shipyards in the country.
Petrobras announced in February the result
of its negotiation with Sete Brasil and Ocean
Rig, which had submitted offers for the
charter and operation of drilling rigs to be
manufactured in Brazil.
The company approved the contract for

ASD would operate the Ketchikan Shipyard (KSY) as the Alaska Ship &

Laying down the law for tug and OSV sectors
6JGſTUVNGICNCFXKEGUGTXKEGFGUKIPGFHQT

/CEKPPGU..2CPGYEKV[NCYſTO
TugAdvise (www.tugadvise.com) was
founded by Simon Tatham, who has been
working in these sectors for more than 30
years and wanted to bring top legal advice
within their reach.
Tatham said: “It’s a great industry to work
in, entrepreneurial, brave and good fun, but
it’s been overlooked by the law for too long;
no-one is really looking after their corner,
dedicated to them. On top of that, the cost of
legal advice in London has reached heights
that are simply driving good clients away.
We aim to change all that.”
To date, the TugAdvise team includes
Mike Lacey, who is stepping down as general
secretary of the ISU to return to the law;
Richard Harvey, former head of Admiralty at
QPGQHVJGDKI.QPFQPſTOU/KMG#NNGPYJQ
is chairing the +65 Convention in Barcelona
in May; Capt Tony Tye, who is one of the
most highly-respected and experienced ‘wet’
men and investigators in the market; and the
LLP’s managing partner, Alex Macinnes,
who started his career as a naval architect and
trained as a class surveyor before entering the
law. Together, they have more than 150 years
of hands-on experience.
“This is a full legal service and part of
Tatham Macinnes but it is very tightly
focused,” added Tatham. “Bright, capable
and commercially-minded assistant solicitors
will allow us to handle heavier matters,
supporting the consultants and the partners to
give the best service to clients.
“As well as handling the big matters,
we’re at the end of the phone to help on
day-to-day issues, assisting with drafting
or problems under contracts, from newbuild to SUPPLYTIME or TOWCON, to
WRECKCON or LOF. We also deal with
claims and disputes, in fact, all areas where
English law may apply.”
If meticulous drafting is required or an
arbitration has to be fought, Tatham Macinnes
LLP can step in.
Alex Macinnes said: “We give our
consultants the support and back up of the law

Tug Fairmount Summit has delivered a
newbuild drilling rig from the Persian
Gulf to offshore Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The voyage was over a distance of 10,625
miles and was performed with an average
speed of 6.0 knots. The drilling rig 1&0
Delba III is a semi-submersible drilling rig
for deepwater operations, built in Abu Dhabi
for Odebrecht Drilling Services, part of
Odebrecht SA.
Odebrecht contracted Fairmount Marine to

ESG plans to expand its existing
shipbuilding, vessel construction and repair
and industrial steel fabrication operations to
Port St Joe. ESG will continue its operations
in Panama City and Allanton. ESG’s Port
St Joe facility is immediately adjacent to
one of only 14 state-authorised deepwater
ports in Florida. The Port St Joe facility
will enable ESG to meet its current and
emerging contracts for vessel manufacturing
requirements and has the potential to create
many new jobs in Port St Joe. In order to
perform these contracts, ESG is already in
the process of hiring 500 new employees who
will join ESG’s current workforce.
Brian D’Isernia, president, Eastern
Shipbuilding Group, said: “The hard and
diligent work of our current workforce has
earned Eastern Shipbuilding Group the
manufacturing contracts that necessitate
our expansion to Port St Joe. Eastern
Shipbuilding Group remains committed to
manufacturing the highest quality vessels our
customers demand in a global market.”

State representative Marti Coley said:
“Eastern Shipbuilding’s growth is continued
evidence of the growth of our State’s diverse
economy. Brian D’Isernia’s vision and
leadership for Eastern Shipbuilding will
create opportunities for Eastern’s suppliers

our industry. BC’s shipyards will have great
opportunities, and Allied is poised to take
advantage of this historic decision.”

Lack of stability blamed for capsized tug

Fairplay 22 has been published by the

bulbous bow of Stena Britannica in 2010,
resulting in the loss of two crew members.
On 11th November 2010, tugs Fairplay 22
and Fairplay III were deployed to assist the
ro-ro passenger ship Stena Britannica in a
mooring procedure at the Hook of Holland
pier, as there was concern over a strong
gale-force southerly wind. The captains of
Fairplay 22 and Stena Britannica agreed to
use two towage connections: one connecting
the starboard stern of Stena Britannica
to Fairplay III, and another connecting
the starboard bow of Stena Britannica to
Fairplay 22. The report indicates that the
captains of Fairplay 22 and Stena Britannica
agreed on a speed of seven knots while
performing the towing line manoeuvres.
Fairplay 22 moved close to the bow of
Stena Britannica to take in the heaving line,
which was to be thrown from the bow of
Stena Britannica to the tug. To avoid having
to cast the line into the wind and to prevent
the tug being blown into Stena Britannica,
the tug was positioned on the passenger
ship’s portside.
Upon manoeuvring close to the bow of
Stena Britannica to take in the heaving line,
Fairplay 22 collided with the bulbous bow of
the passenger ship, and found itself broadside
in front of Stena Britannica’s bow. The
collision caused the tug to heel to port and
take on water, and it capsized shortly after.
The accident resulted in the deaths of two
people and one person was slightly injured.
The stability of Fairplay 22 was also
addressed in the report, as the vents of the
vessel’s engine room and a door leading to
the after deck were open. This enabled water

approximately 35 degrees.
A number of recommendations were
released from the Dutch Safety Board,
including the advice for Fairplay to develop,
preferably in consultation with the ETA,
a risk assessment for sailing close to
assisted vessels’ bows and making towage
connections. A further recommendation was
also given to Fairplay, to monitor the speed
of its tugs and the closing of openings.
Advice was also given to Stena, which was
told to set out written agreements with tug
companies, including safety criteria.
The Port of Rotterdam was given a series
of recommendations by the board, with the
port’s harbourmaster advised to establish
and enforce maximum speed for towage
connections. Further instructions were
given, stating that the Port of Rotterdam
harbourmaster should put an emphasis
on training in relation to tug assistance

to achieve another two ships from Damen
of this modern design. With the special
wave-piercing bow and the extremely slim
waterlines, these ships will have an increased

plant in the country’s north-west for
RUB1.8bn (US$61.8m). The agreement will
enable USC to build ice-breaking vessels
at the newly-acquired plant which utilises
about 100ha of land on the coast of the Gulf
of Finland.
The double-decked icebreaker, meanwhile,
will feature improved performance, taking
into account the operating experience of two
icebreakers from the 21900 project during
winter navigation in the Gulf of Finland.
With a length of 116m and beam of 26.5m,
the vessel will be equipped with a helipad and
will be able to cut channels through ice of up
to 1.5m thick.

‘Miracles are possible’
On a foggy evening in IJmuiden, Michiel Wijsmuller unravelled his family
saga for Dawn Gorman, and expressed his hopes for the future of OSD.
Michiel Wijsmuller says his involvement
in the maritime industry is ‘hereditary’,
and certainly the Wijsmuller name has
been associated with tugs and towage in
IJmuiden, near Amsterdam, Holland, for
more than 100 years. In fact, the changing
fortunes of the family would make an
excellent novel or TV drama – one
which, on reaching the present day, has a
satisfyingly happy ending.
It all dates back to 1906, when Michiel’s
grandfather started a towage company. He
died in the early 1920s, leaving a wife and six
small children, and in the economic crisis of
the time, the business was sold – the biggest
tugs to Smit, and the company to Goedkoop,
which provided harbour towage services in
Amsterdam. The name Bureuau Wijsmuller
was retained. When they grew up, nearly all
the brothers went to sea, and after the war
joined forces to start Wijsmuller Brothers,
a ship delivery company (now known as
Redwise). This was quite successful, while
Bureuau Wijsmuller, under the guidance
of Goedkoop was not, and the Goedkoop

brothers to become its managing director.
A few years later, another brother became
managing director of Wijsmuller in IJmuiden.
In 1958, the brothers began building
their own new tugs, which they chartered
to Bureuau Wijsmuller, and in 1963, they
repurchased the company from Goedkoop.
So far so good... but there was more to come.
Michiel’s father died in 1958, so once more a
Wijsmuller widow was left to bring up small
children – four boys – although in this case,
they remained shareholders in the company.

with the intention of later joining the family
company. For his BSc, he designed what we
would now refer to as a PSV (then it was
simply a ‘supply boat’), and then he mastered

a corporate planner with KNSM, the Royal
Netherlands Steamship Company, but just 18
months later, in 1980, he joined Wijsmuller in
IJmuiden. Together with KNSM, they bought
Goedkoop Harbour Towage. KNSM were
themselves later bought out by Nedlloyd, but
not before they sold the other 50 per cent of
Goedkoop harbour towage to Wijsmuller.
Michiel smiled: “That was very nice of them
because Nedlloyd was the main shareholder
of Smit in those days. If they had not done it,
then Nedlloyd and Smit would have been in
Amsterdam, which we wouldn’t have liked!”
At around this time, Michiel’s cousin, who
was then Wijmuller’s managing director,
started the company’s innovative heavy
lift transport arm with self-propelled semiUWDOGTUKDNG DCTIGU ſTUV VJG 5WRGT 5GTXCPVU
and then the Mighty Servants. Then Michiel
was sent to Curacao to further develop the
company’s international harbour and terminal
towage business.
“I won a contract at an oil terminal in Sint
Eustatius, one of the islands of the Dutch
Antilles, and I got two contracts in Columbia.
We also had an operation in Argentina, just
before the Falklands War, which was an
interesting time...”
He went to Curacao a bachelor, but after
18 months married his girlfriend, and the

another company based in Singapore, owned
by Irishman, David Moody. That 50-50 joint
venture was CW Marine.
“That was quite a successful operation. We

When he returned to The Netherlands in 1988,
the Wijsmuller company was in dire straits.
“We were technically bankrupt as we had
over-invested in heavy lift vessels, as had
many others, so there was overECRCEKV[CPFYGYGTGſPCPEGF

dollar collapsed, so our income
in guilders was a lot less.
The two things together were
terrible. The heavy lift vessels
were repossessed by the banks.”
The family decided that
Michiel had to succeed his
cousin and he was duly made

managing director. The company still had
negative equity and a huge bank debt, but
Michiel made a deal with Heerema, a big
offshore company with crane vessels, to
repurchase the heavy lift vessels. A couple
of years later, and still with negative equity,
Wijsmuller sold its stake in those vessels and
the company was again viable.
“We then focused successfully on our
international harbour and terminal business.
At the end of the ’70s, we had established
our own technical department, with design
capabilities, and in 1980 we started Wijsmuller
Engineering as a separate operating company
for ship design. We designed all our own
new building projects. In ’90, we more or
less ended our long-distance towing activities
since they were in competition with our heavy
lift work.”
However, the company still received a lot
of enquiries for wet tows, so Michiel’s cousin
started a brokerage department.
“Because we got the enquiries but we didn’t
have the tugs, we sourced vessels elsewhere.
That company was Marman.”

Heerema had been a 50 per cent shareholder
of Wijsmuller Group since 1989, but they sold
their share to a number of investors in the early
1990s, from which time the family owned 55
per cent of the company, so was completely
independent again.
Eventually, Wijsmuller was able to take
over Cory Towage in the UK and almost
double the size of the group, with activities in
the UK, plus international projects in Oman,
Yemen and Venezuela.
“That made the company a lot bigger and

OSD had an R&D project a few years ago
together with Iskes and Smit, subsidised by
the Dutch government, to develop a green tug
which runs on liquid hydrogen, giving exhaust

“The new C175-16 features a number of
enhancements that will improve overall
engine life while reducing the cost of
ownership.”
Michael Braun, segment manager, Tug
& Salvage, added: “I think the C175 is a
new generation of high-powered tug,
salvage and also OSV engines. The focus
during development of these engines
was totally on high up-time and low
operation costs. For example, we are
talking about 33 per cent longer on
the total overhaul times.”
Durability is also key.
“We have, for example, lowered
the piston speed of the engine to give
the customer more up-time and low
operation costs. On top of this, the
C175 has been designed to improve the
VQVCNXGUUGNŏURTQſVCDKNKV[D[RTQXKFKPI
durability and higher power output to

a market niche for marine applications that
are evolving to require more power than they
have historically.
“We are seeing many tug designs require a
bollard pull capability of over 100 tons. The
C175 offers a 14 per cent power increase
over our existing high speed products. In
addition, the C175 has been designed for
increased durability. This includes cast
titanium turbo impellers that offer longer
high cycle fatigue life, a single centered
camshaft, cross-bolted main bearing caps
that offer a robust structural connection to
limit crankshaft movement and increase
bearing life, and straight fracture split rods
that make for a more durable rod to rod cap
connection. All which will add up to a ‘bestin-class’ time before overhaul.
“The C175 is also designed with a common

of marine applications, the QSM11-CP
is designed, integrated and assembled by
Cummins newest manufacturing facility, the
Commercial Marine and Offshore Oil & Gas
Center of Excellence. It can be used for prime
power generation in push boats, crewboats,
OSVs and PSVs. It can also be used for
emergency power in PSVs, crewboats and
other offshore support vessels.
As marine operators become increasingly
global and vessels are more transient, it
is essential that onboard machinery is
supported anywhere in the world the vessel
travels. With that understanding, Cummins
has offered a factory solution for ship’s
prime and emergency power for more than
a decade.
“Since their introduction in 2001,
Cummins C Power products have set the
standard for electric power generation in
the marine industry,” said Jenny Bush,
general manager, Commercial Marine. “The
opening of the Commercial Marine Center

is often not given high-enough priority by
XGUUGNDWKNFGTUUQKVKUEQOOQPHQTWUVQſPF
that not enough space was allocated for the
HVAC system, which can lead to a range of
secondary problems.”
According to the company, determining
HVAC capacity can also present issues.
“It is essential during the initial stages of
design that a thorough and correct evaluation
of the intended operating conditions and
vessel location is established. A complete
analysis that captures both latent and sensible
heat loads is also required to maintain
proper interior levels of heating, cooling and
humidity control.”
Whatever the requirements for HVAC,
the availability of specialist suppliers such
as Dometic Marine to offer sound and
expert advice should make accessing the
correct air conditioning system an altogether
easier process.
Todd concluded: “Poor planning of the
HVAC system’s design, placement and
capacity requirement can also negatively
impact the system’s performance. For these
reasons we urge builders to involve us as
early as possible during a vessel’s design

We hope that future tug masters can use this
TRB to assist them with their training and to
log performance of various towing tasks, use it
to prove their competence and be assessed by
an appointed assessor or an in-house company

that the right candidate progresses to take

additional training by use of simulators.
Now, coming to the point of the existing

SALVAGE
Third in a row for Super tug
Ż In demand:
Fairmount
#NRKPG.
Fairmount Marine’s tug Fairmount Alpine
has performed escort services for a bulk
carrier at the request of Smit Salvage. The
bulker had suffered structural damages
while in Brazil.
Smit initially contracted Fairmount Marine,
in December, for stand-by, and the company
mobilised Super Class tug Fairmount Alpine
from Jamaica to Brazil. When it arrived, the
vessel was ordered to be on stand-by as a
safety precaution. It also assisted the salvage
team with cargo runs.
After almost two months, Fairmount
Alpine was then requested to escort the bulk
carrier during its trans-Atlantic voyage from
Brazil to Walvis Bay, Namibia.
The stand-by and escort services were the
third salvage operation in a row for the DutchƀCIIGFVWI'CTNKGTVJGXGUUGNCUUKUVGFKPVJG

US Navy contract
Titan Salvage, a Crowley Maritime Corp
company, has been awarded a contract to
serve as the commercial marine salvage
and engineering support contractor for the
Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA),
the division of the US Navy responsible
for engineering, building, buying and
maintaining Navy ships and submarines
and their combat systems.
In this new role, Titan will provide
the Navy with marine salvage, salvagerelated towing, harbour clearance, ocean
engineering and point-to-point towing
services in the event of an emergency
or incident.

in 1976, and since then has been almost
exclusively the sole service provider. Now,
Titan will continue the tradition.
Titan’s vice president, Rich Habib, said:
“We are pleased that the US Navy has
entrusted Titan with this contract and look
forward to providing the Navy the same high
level of service that Crowley has provided for
the last 34 years.”
“As a salvage industry leader, Titan is well
positioned to take on this contract. Titan’s
long record of global salvage, wreck removal
and response to natural disasters prepares us
well should the Navy call.”
Is knock for knock always bullet-proof?
When it comes to the loss of a tow at sea, the following story takes some beating.
It’s also a sad tale, since damages for total loss and a wreck removal came to
around US$20m. Simon Tatham takes up the narration...
Reminiscent of an Alistair Maclean novel,
but without the heroes, this is a very short
summary of what happened when a 1981
US-built pusher-tug was hired to tow an old
North Sea rig to Singapore via Cape Town.
The pusher-tug, rated at 15,200bhp, was
TGEGPVN[ QWV QH NC[WR CPF TGENCUUKſGF CPF
the rig was laid up near Rio and heavily
fouled underwater.
In the (pre-2008 version) TOWCON, the
tug’s bollard pull and length of tow wire were
overstated, whilst its working rev/min was
never fully established. These tugs do not

issued to underwriters by warranty surveyors.
The distance to Cape Town is around 3,400
miles and it was estimated that speeds of 2.5-5
knots would be achieved. The tug bunkered,
but not fully, in preparation, and the tow got
under way. The tug struggled, and speeds of
less than 2 knots were achieved. Very soon,
and certainly by day seven, it was clear that the
tug would run out of fuel in the South Atlantic,
well short of Cape Town. At least 3-4 knots
was required. But still they pressed on.
A month before the Cape Town ETA, the
VWIYCUKPUGTKQWUFKHſEWNV[CPFVJGPVJGVQY
was released. The rig eventually grounded on
www.tugandosv.com
the island of Tristan da Cunha and was later
removed and scuttled. The tug was eventually
refuelled by a sister vessel and headed up
to Dakar (no doubt sensibly avoiding the
famous ship arrest regime in South Africa).
The TOWCON’s standard terms provided
that the tug owner would exercise due
diligence to make the tug seaworthy and use
best endeavours to perform the tow. Making
his judgment, Mr Justice Teare (the former
.NQ[FŏU#TDKVTCVQTYCUJKIJN[ETKVKECNQHVJG
VWI QYPGT ſPFKPI VJCV VJGKT HCKNWTG QP DQVJ
counts caused the loss.
The TOWCON, however, contained its
well-known knock for knock clause (clause
18 – since reinforced in the 2008 version).
Under this, loss or damage of whatsoever
nature, however caused or sustained, to
the tow, is to be for the sole account of the
hirer. Indirect and consequential losses are
also mutually excluded and the right to limit
liability reserved. The tug owner invoked the
protection of these provisions. Clearly this was
the real battle ground – could the hirers and
their underwriters break through the knock for
knock in such a case? Most would agree that
this was a tow that should never have left port,
or even have been contemplated.
To the chagrin of subrogated underwriters,
ŸSimon Tatham.
the judge followed precedent: that the knock
for knock agreement “is a crude but workable
allocation of risk and responsibility” and
should be upheld despite the tug owner’s
failure to measure up to the fundamentals
of their primary obligations. Commentators
continue to hold to the view that the clause
will be effective even in cases of the most
serious breach, but further challenge does
seem inevitable.

OFFSHORE INNOVATION
Innovative solutions for offshore applications
As the major engineering partner to
the Allseas Group, Bosch Rexroth has
developed and engineered the drive and
control system solution for the world’s
largest mobile lifting mechanism for
offshore installations.
The special vessel equipped with this
VQRUKFGNKHVKPIU[UVGO
6.5Pieter Schelte,
can lift and transport topsides of offshore
platforms with a weight of up to 48,000 tons
in one piece.
To disassemble topsides of offshore
platforms, workers used to have to manually
disassemble the structure into transportable
individual parts on the high seas – work that
is both time consuming and hazardous. In the
future, the new special vessel from the Allseas
Group will completely lift the platforms from
their steel ‘jacket’ and transport them on to
land, making disassembly considerably safer
and more cost-effective.
Meanwhile, the market for wind energy
puts challenging additional demands on
traditional jacking systems for installation
and maintenance vessels and platforms.
Bosch Rexroth meets the latest demands
with a new standard in jacking: the high
performance continuous jacking system.
Besides the increasing the load capacity,
working at higher jacking speeds, and
CP CFXCPEGF EQPVTQN U[UVGO URGEKſECNN[
integrated features lead to more reliability,
safer operations and a considerable reduction
of required power.
The jacking cylinders are equipped with
CIMS (Cylinder Integrating Measuring
System), which provides the most accurate
signal required by the control system to
evaluate the status of the system in relation to
the precision, motion pattern and levelling of
the vessel or platform. The cylinder rods are

New base in thriving region
Star Information Systems (SIS), a supplier
of software and services for technical ship

thriving offshore sector.
The company has sent Hans-Kristian
(LCGTGOQPGQHVJGſTOŏUOQUVGZRGTKGPEGF
consultants, to lead the operation, recruit
a local team, and service SIS’s growing
portfolio of customers in the region.
The pace of economic change in Brazil –
now the sixth largest global economy – has
been accelerated by the discovery of huge
oil and gas reserves in the country’s pre-salt
basin, opening up an array of opportunities for
national and international offshore operators.

the business, sees massive potential for the
market, and for SIS itself.
He said: “We have had activities in Brazil
for some time, but we felt the exceptional
growth of the market, particularly with regard
to the oil & gas sectors, meant that the time
was right to commit to a permanent base.
“We’re looking to build a full-service
company there providing all the services that
we currently provide from Norway – that’s
advisory services, project management,
support, implementation, training and
sales across all of our software modules.

looking forward to that challenge.”
Wind of change
Voith has teamed with the Schramm
group to develop special vessels for
transfering staff and material to wind
farms in the North and Baltic Seas.
This pooling of expertise means
operators of offshore wind farms
will have one point of contact for all
technical and service issues. In addition
to vessel design, Voith will supply the
propulsion systems. The Schramm
group will contribute all services, from
supervision during the vessel-building
process to vessel management.
Service technicians sometimes
have to enter wind turbines in waves
of up to 4m to carry out repair or
maintenance work, and the Voith
Schneider Propeller (VSP) is the ideal
propulsion concept for added safety,
ensuring the vessels can precisely keep
their position, even in high seas, and
dampening vessel movements.
The Voith and Schramm group
specialists have evaluated the seaway
data prevalent in the areas of operation
and have found that a single-hulled
vessel with a length of 30-35m is ideally
suited to meet the demands of wind
farm operators. With a maximum speed
of 15 knots, the vessel can serve the
farms close to the shore. Those further

New strategy and an eye on top Nordic spot
Damen Shiprepair Götaverken is
raising the bar for its Gothenburg
shipyard with the aim of
becoming the top Nordic yard.
Under a new strategy that puts greater
focus on environmental initiatives,
investments and new jobs, the longestablished Swedish shipyard Götaverken
Cityvarvet is changing its name to Damen
Shiprepair Götaverken (DSGö). The
company has been part of the global
Damen Shipyards Group since 2000. The
group is based in the Netherlands and has
a turnover of 1.3bn euro.
Damen Shipyards Group has more than 35
shipyards and related companies around the
world, eight of which are dedicated to repairs,
conversion and maintenance. Götaverken is
the third largest of those eight. The company
is one of the largest specialist ship repair
yards in northern Europe.

built up over the years, together with the
many opportunities that the Damen Group
offers for meeting customers’ demands, give
us a very solid foundation on which to build.
We will also need to take on around 25 to
30 new employees over the next two years,”
said Jos Goris, managing director, Damen
Shiprepair Götaverken.
The aim of the new strategy is to take the
number one ranking in the Nordic region
– something which has also led Damen

Goris said: “The global economic crisis
has hit shipping and the shipbuilding industry
hard in Scandinavia as well. Combined with
high fuel prices, this has meant that ship
owners have been holding back on repairs
and maintenance. The effect for us has been
stiffer competition for customers. This makes
it especially important that we now invest
strategically in order to meet customers’
needs as effectively as possible.”
The offshore industry does not seem
to have been hit so hard by the economic

Damen’s increased order book for offshore
(wind) vessels. This applies especially to
fast crew suppliers, twin axe support vessels
(able to transfer crew on to wind turbines
in 2.5m wave height) and PSVs. Therefore,
Damen Shiprepair Götaverken expects to see
increased revenues from the Norwegian and
Scottish offshore industry over the next two
or three years.
The company is also investing more

The simulator, which is part of a 1,300m2
simulator park, is one of the most advanced
of its kind, offering fully-integrated training
on offshore vessel operations for crew and
operator training in addition to mission
planning applications.
The new SimSea training centre was
QHſEKCNN[ QRGPGF D[ FKTGEVQT IGPGTCN QH
Shipping and Navigation at the Norwegian
Maritime Directorate, Olav Akselsen, who
said that the SimSea initiative is very positive
for the maritime and offshore industry.
Also present, Kongsberg Maritime’s
executive vice president, Ole Gunnar
Hvamb, said: “We are proud to be a part
of this initiative and trust that SimSea will
contribute to increase crew competence and
enhance safety in offshore operations.”
The new SimSea facility is based on
a 360-degree visual Kongsberg offshore
vessel simulator with interface to a range of
specialised task simulators for team training
of complex offshore operations. This enables
SimSea to offer courses covering the whole
spectrum of offshore operations including
basic and advanced dynamic positioning;
anchor-handling; aft bridge; forward bridge
navigation; offshore loading, tandem and buoy;
ROV, ECDIS and BRM/CRM to STCW; and
drilling platform ballast and stability. The DP
simulator is integrated with the Kongsberg
-2QU &2 U[UVGO CPF HWNſNU VJG 0CWVKECN
Institute’s DP training requirements, allowing
a reduction in training time at sea.
Also included in the delivery is an

SimSea can provide individual operators
and teams with realistic training and
valuable pre-operational procedural testing,
which is a new capability emerging in the
offshore training arena, driven by Kongsberg

added: “The Kongsberg offshore vessel
simulator at SimSea shifts the focus from
single task training to a more holistic
approach where crew work together to safely
operate a vessel during hazardous operations,
such as anchor-handling or loading and
unloading. This method of training supports
the on-going efforts of owners and operators
to enhance competence for the entire crew.

A newly-developed hydraulic lifting yoke
from Danish-based Fyns Kran Udstyr
(FKU) can be ready to lift 370 tons in 10
minutes. It previously took an hour to get
ready to lift heavy offshore wind turbine
foundation parts (transition pieces, or TPs)
from dock to vessel and from vessel on to the
offshore monopiles. And only one person is
needed to handle and adjust the TP.

adjusts the TP near to the centre of gravity.
Since the TP is now plumb and level, the
risk of tilting when it is placed on to the
vessel is minimal. The same safety remains
on sea, where it is even harder to handle the
enormous foundations, when they are lifted
into place over the monopiles.
The yoke was developed by Danish
engineers from Fyns Kran Udstyr, and is

The engineers have documented every
detail of the unique construction in accordance
to EN Norms. The goal was to improve the
safety and working conditions compared to
the known method with Pad Eyes, and at the
same time speed-up the process and thereby
save money at every lift.
“Both improved working conditions and
enhanced safety are of great value for our
customers, but also the large time savings of
approximately 50 minutes per wind turbine
is a strong argument,” said Torben Kofoed,
sales manager at FKU.
“Storms can put the work on sea on hold,
but now even short breaks in the storm can

Findings from Project Horizon, an 11-partner

The project made pioneering use of bridge,

FGEM CPF GPIKPGGT QHſEGT XQNWPVGGTU
participated in rigorous tests at Chalmers
University of Technology in Göteberg, and at
Warsash Maritime Academy at Southampton
Solent University, to measure their levels of
sleepiness and performance during the most
common watchkeeping patterns: four hours
on and eight hours off (4/8) and six hours on
and six hours off (6/6). Some volunteers were
exposed to a ‘disturbed’ off-watch period,

experience additional workloads as a result
of port visits, bad weather or emergencies.
The project provided detailed empirical
data on the sleepiness levels of watchkeepers
working within those realistic scenarios,
enabling researchers to analyse the impact of
tiredness on decision-making, reaction times
and other key elements of performance.

At least one occurrence of sleep was

per cent on the 1800hrs-0000hrs watch;
Such incidents of sleeping on watch were
found within both watchkeeping patterns,
and they mainly occurred during night and

Participants in all the groups reported
relatively high levels of subjective sleepiness

depending on whether off-watch periods
were disturbed or not. Overall sleep duration
for those on the 4/8 pattern was found to be
relatively normal, with around seven-anda-half hours a day for those in team one at
Chalmers and about six hours for team two;
Participants working 6/6 watches were
found to get markedly less sleep than those
on 4/8, and data showed a clear ‘split’
sleeping pattern, in which daily sleep on the
6/6 pattern was divided into two periods: one
of between three to four hours and the other
averaging between two to three hours;
Reaction time tests, carried out at the
start and end of each watch, showed clear
evidence of performance deterioration – and
the slowest reaction times were found at the
end of night watches and among those on the
6/6 patterns;
Watchkeepers were found to be most tired
at night and in the afternoon and sleepiness
levels were found to peak towards the end of
night watches;
The 6/6 regime was found to be more
tiring than the 4/8 rotas and ‘disturbed’

diagnosis, as the ‘voyages’ progressed;
Researchers also noted a decline in the
quality of the information being given by the
participants at watch handovers as the week
progressed.
Graham Clarke, project co-ordinator, said:
“Seafarer fatigue is one of the biggest safety
issues in the shipping industry, and this
research has taken our understanding of the
way in which the quality of sleep off-watch
affects the sleepiness of watchkeepers on
watch to a new and much deeper level.”
Researchers have been able to use the
data to develop a new fatigue management
toolkit for use by ship owners and managers,
seafarers, regulators and others, to help
arrange working schedules to mitigate risks
to vessels, seafarers and the environment.
“It is hoped that the fatigue management
toolkit will be a lasting legacy for the sector,
providing a resource that, by establishing
improved working patterns, will help to
enhance the safety of ships and passengers,
and the welfare of seafarers,” added Clarke.

These include: new arm and footrests;

easier seat height adjustment with a lever to
operate the gas struts); clearer indications of
the seat’s functions and adjustable nature;
and a narrower overall chair width (to give
more room between operational consoles).
“We’ve worked with our customers to

also features an integrated alarm buzzer to
keep the user alerted to vital information.
A single AIS transmitter and three AIS
receivers ensure maximum target reception
even in congested waterways.
The AIS950 features seven serial data
ports (four bi-directional) for connecting to
Raymarine and third-party navigation systems
as well as other shipboard peripherals, such as
DGPS receivers, gyrocompasses, and ECDIS
systems. For commercial ship applications,
the AIS950 features a front-mounted pilotplug connection.
All of the e-Series displays feature
Raymarine’s HybridTouch™ touch screen,
providing a choice between touch screen
or keypad operation. Every c-Series and
e-Series display has Wi-Fi connectivity,
enabling the streaming of live video to iPads
or iPhones, in order that anyone onboard can
view charts, sonar, radar, and even thermal
night vision, transforming the device into a
navigation viewer.
Training guide on
WUGQH'%&+5
The Nautical Institute will be
publishing a guide to address
training issues on ECDIS.
The Industry Recommendations
for ECDIS Training has been issued
by an industry group made up of
leading international shipping industry
organisations and organised and coordinated by The Nautical Institute.
In January, ECDIS training came
into force as part of the STCW 2010
Manila amendments.
The industry has emphasised the
need for watch-standers to demonstrate
CNN +/1KFGPVKſGF EQORGVGPEKGU
and to maintain these competencies,
including familiarisation with any
updates or alterations.
James Robinson, president of The
Nautical Institute, said: “ECDIS is
a complex system and will be one of
the most essential tools for supporting
mariners in their efforts to ensure the
safety of navigation and protection of
the marine environment. Ship owners
must not assume that an ECDIS course
EGTVKſECVG KU GPQWIJ VQ GPUWTG UCHGV[
and ship masters should work with their
bridge teams to ensure that ECDIS best
practice and company procedures for
familiarisation and use of the ECDIS
are continually maintained.”

This fact may have a crucial impact on
companies’ business goals.
Tests have shown that the smoothening
effect of Oceanic under normal conditions
will compensate for the roughness created
from mechanical damage. This makes
Oceanic a natural choice because the

reduce fuel consumption when the vessel
is in operation. Since antifouling paints are
designed to be used below the waterline
as well as for long periods of service, it is
extremely important to have a paint system
with excellent elasticity that can also resist
multiple volume variations.
Oceanic can be applied on top of most of
today’s antifouling products. Since a tie coat
is not needed at subsequent drydockings,

Furthermore, if companies wish to change the

also be done without using a tie coat.

As the Harbour Authority for the crude
oil and gas port of Sullom Voe, the Council
placed the construction contract for two of
the Spanish shipbuilder’s own in-house
escort Voith water tractor tug design early
in the second quarter of 2007. The port is a
major deep water harbour and the Council
has been operating a tug ƀeet of ſve vessels
to serve shipping in the area, including very
large tankers and LPG trafſc. Four of the
existing ƀeet are VWTs.
5QNCP and $QPZKG are identical sisters
each measuring 40.00m x 14.00m with a
maximum draft of 6.50m. Propulsion is
provided by MAN type 9L27/38 diesels,
each developing 3,285kW at 800 rev/min,
driving Voith Schneider 36R5-250-2, ſve
blade cycloidal propulsion units with a blade
orbit of 3,600mm.
The tugs both have three generator sets
installed – Volvo Penta units each of 184kW

and all the diesel engines are cooled via GEA
Bloksma box coolers. Sperre provided the air
start compressors, Hamworthy the sewage
treatment plant and pumps from Bombas
Azcue are to be found throughout the engine
room. Forward of the Voith units, up a
couple of steps, is an extensive switchboard
control room, a laundry and a drying room.
Stairs lead up to the forward end of the
main deck accommodation area. There are
cabins for chief engineer and mate, the latter
also having a Pullman berth if required,
and a further twin for the crew. All have en
suite facilities. The galley, generous mess
room and ship’s ofſce are also on this level.
Access to the aft deck is through a changing
room with WC compartment. The master’s
en suite cabin is on the forecastle deck
forward of the AC Room.
The wheelhouse, which is raised some
925mm above the bridge deck, has control
stations fore and aft. Both have parallel
consoles arranged either side of a tracked
helmsman chair, manufactured in each
case by Cleemann (Dolphin model) and
face exceptionally broad, ƀoor-to-ceiling
windows to ensure perfect visibility – the
view of the aft winch is outstanding. The

to 13 crew members while Lamnalco only
needs to house a total of nine. The two twinberth cabin area below main deck on the
earlier boats has been replaced on the latest
two vessels by various stores (including a
very large freezer store) and a laundry.
On the next deck up (below main deck)
the layout is virtually unchanged with
three twin berth cabins (one with en suite
facilities) and a single cabin, also with its
own WC/shower.
On main deck there are single en suite
cabins on the port side for captain and
chief engineer opposite the galley and
mess room. There is a centrally located
head with quick and easy access from the
wood-clad aft deck.
