ThyssenKrupp did not disclose the value of the contract. Reports in Brazil said the vessels will cost in total about US$1.6 billion. With ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems’ leader- ship and its naval systems expertise, the Águas Azuis Consortium companies will now form a specific purpose company (SPC) for the construction phase of the programme. The vessels are scheduled for delivery between 2024 and 2028 and will undertake escort role to counter possible threats, ensure the protection of maritime traffic, and control the Brazilian jurisdictional waters, the so-called Blue Amazon, which totals over 4.5 million square kilometres. The corvette programme will bring benefits to the Brazilian economy, ThyssenKrupp said. Brazilian content will be more than 40% during shipbuilding and there will also be Brazilian development of vessel equipment systems. This will involve generation of more than 1,000 direct jobs and approximately 4,000 indirect jobs. The programme contemplates an extensive transfer of technology in the naval engineering sector for military shipbuilding, combat and platform management systems.

Student number: 4415493 Report number: 2020.MME.8412 Project duration: May 1, 2019 – February 29, 2020 Thesis committee: Prof. dr. ir. R. R. Negenborn, TU Delft, chair Dr. ir. W. W. A. Beelaerts van Blokland, TU Delft, supervisor Ing. D. Mense, Damen Shipyards An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/. Preface This thesis is written to fulfill the graduation requirements of the University of Technology Delft course Mechanical Engineering with a specialization into Transport Engineering and Logistics. I was engaged in researching and writing this thesis from May 2019 to February 2020 in collaboration with Damen Shipyards in Gorinchem. My passion for vessels and marine operations are partially inspired by both my grandfather’s who unfortunately passed away during the establishment of this thesis. The research was difficult, but conducting extensive investigation has allowed me to answer the question that we identified. Fortunately, both Danny Mense and my tutors from the University, dr. Beelaerts van Blokland and prof. dr. Negenborn, were always available and willing to answer my queries. Thanks to Arnout Jorritsma and his commitment to continue this field of research within Damen.

She also can be seen at www.hansbreeman.nl Advertisement ULUPINAR 14 HANDED OVER TO SMS TOWAGE One of Sanmar’s most popular tugs is the neat, compact and yet surprisingly roomy Ulupinar Series. Some 15 of this exclusive and versatile ASD model designed by the Robert Allan Limited team with considerable input from Ali Gurun, project director at Sanmar, have now been built. However, Ulupinar 14, although having been completed back in July 2012, has only just been handed over to its new owners, the UK’s SMS Towage with the new name of Statesman. The vessel had spent the intervening six months on a successful charter with Egyptian interests. Measuring 24.40m x 9.15m with a maximum draft of 4.40m, there are various power options available on the Ulupinar Series but this version, utilising a propulsion arrangement comprising a pair of Caterpillar 3512 diesels, each developing 1230kW at 1,800 rev/min and driving Rolls-Royce US 155 FP azimuthing thrusters gives bollard pulls, both ahead and astern, of approximately 45 tonnes and a free-running speed of 13 knots.

Summary Nature of the research Due to increasing cost pressure, disturbances from customs and an opportunity seen in reducing costs by increasing the procurement and construction in the Far East, Damen Shipyards Gorinchem is changing the requirements for its supply chain. Changes to the supply chain however not only inflicts a large number of stakeholders, but the cost reduction through procurement in Asia gives an intrinsic difficulty: on one hand the costs of the components potentially decrease, but on the other hand the cultural differences and larger distances from the headquarters increase the cost and effort in assuring quality of the procurements.
