EMISSIONS REDUCTION To comply with future environmental regulations, improvements of ships’ emissions are urgently required. LNG as a ship’s fuel will reduce NOx to clearly below

Tier III level, SOx and particulate matters to about zero and CO2 by 20 to 30% without any treatment of combustion gases. Main challenges of the usage of LNG, however, include the safe storage and processing of the liqueﬁ ed gas as well as the bunker infrastructure, procedure and equipment.

Smaller tanks can be pressurized to the required gas supply pressure. The cost impact of the higher tank design pressure is fairly small and there is a benefi t of easy operation and reduced numbers of rotating equipment. When using vacuum insulated tanks, a bottom outlet will feed a tank vaporizer just forced by density (see fi gure 3). Typically the operation pressure would be around 7 bar g. By means of the tank pressure the LNG is pushed towards the LNG vaporizer. Usually all tank connections and the tank vaporizer are enclosed in a “cold box” as Figure 3: Schematic diagram of fuel gas system with vacuum tank and cold box Image: TGE a secondary barrier. A fuel gas heater will be employed in order to provide vapour at the right temperature via fuel gas master valve to gas valve unit (GVU). The GVU reduces pressure to the required value of the engines and is usually part of the engine manufacturer’s supply. One option for this simple system is to use a small in-tank pump to feed the tank vaporizer, thus avoiding the bottom outlet. However, this is only possible for single shell type C tanks with foam insulation. As mentioned above, when using larger tank volumes high design pressure will increase the cost signifi cantly. Including a screw compressor in order to pressurize the fuel gas is one option to reduce design pressure from typically 10 barg to 4 barg, see fi gure 4. Vaporization will then take place at a lower pressure level, a small amount of pressurized vapour is returned to the tank to push the liquid to the vaporizer. The compressor system also allows for other operations like fuel gas supply from tank vapour phase, warming-up of the piping Figure 4: Schematic diagram of fuel gas system with compressor Image: TGE system and tanks with hot gas and increasing loading rate without vapour return using a BOG absorber. Finally, two stroke engines require another modifi cation of the system due to high injection pressure of 300 bar g, see fi gure 5. On LNG carriers this can be achieved by using BOG compressors but for other ships, this will only be a viable solution in some particular cases due to high CAPEX, power requirements, size and weight of such equipment. High pressure pumps and high pressure vaporizer and heater are the preferred alternative in order to achieve the required pressure level. Tanks will usually be equipped with small intank pumps or pressure built-up vaporizers to feed the high pressure system.

Safety systems Safety always results from the best combination of technical and procedural measures. Therefore crew training is one basic element of safety on the technical side. There are several safety systems in place Figure 5: Schematic diagram of high pressure fuel gas system for two-stroke engines that will allow controlling any situa- X Image: TGE

ENERCON Aiming for both sustainable and efﬁ cient transport, the German wind-turbine manufacturer Enercon recently put the E-Ship 1 into service to deliver its products to wind parks around the world. The innovative cargo vessel uses rotor sails to harness wind energy, which supplements the power provided by the diesel-electric propulsion system. This, along with other efﬁ ciency-enhancing features, makes operation of the E-Ship 1 especially economical and environmentally friendly.

Waste-heat recovery The Danish company Aalborg Industries supplied the E-Ship 1 with a Mission™ WHR-GT forced-circulation waste-heat recovery boiler whose water tube has an extended heating surface. The boiler uses the mixed exhaust-gas heat from the seven propulsion and onboard power supply generators to make superheated steam that runs a turbogenerator for energy production. Using waste heat to operate a steam turbine is a further example of the vessel’s highly sophisticated technology. The turbine also provides heat required for the absorption refrigeration system, which supports the conventional climate control system. Extensive control and monitoring units for the cooling water as well as the exhaust gas are indispensable for the installation’s safe and reliable operation.

DNV | A new crude oil concept vessel, named Triality, has been developed through an innovation project pursued by Det Norske Veritas (DNV). As its name indicates, it fulfi ls three main goals: it is environmentally superior to a conventional crude oil tanker, its new solutions are feasible and based on well-known technology, and it is fi nancially attractive compared with conventional crude oil tankers operating on heavy fuel oil. The concept vessel is fuelled by liquefi ed natural gas (LNG), has a hull shape that removes the need for ballast water and will almost eliminate local air pollution. Furthermore, it re- covers hundreds of tonnes of cargo vapours on each voyage and is said to represent a major step towards the new environmental era for the tanker shipping industry.

Profitability When it comes to the additional cost of building a vessel like Triality and the reduced cost of operating it, DNV says it is possible to develop an environmentally superior ship and to be proﬁ table at the same time. The best estimate is said to be an additional capital expenditure of 10-15% for a Triality VLCC newbuilding compared to a traditional VLCC. Even with this extra cost included, DNV estimates a reduced life cycle cost equal to 25% of the newbuilding cost for a traditional VLCC.

Improving propulsion efﬁ ciency

PROMAS Shipowners today are very aware of the energy efﬁ ciency of their vessels. While fuel costs are a major aspect of the operating expenses of most ships, the reduction of emissions is becoming even more crucial. With Promas (Propulsion Manoeuvring System), Rolls-Royce is offering an innovative system for the increase of propulsion efﬁ ciency.

During a scheduled drydocking, the ship was recently fi t- ted with Promas Lite. Rolls-Royce will supply two rudder bulbs that will be welded on to the vessel’s existing rudders. Two fairing cones will be attached to the existing Kamewa 157 XF5/4 propeller hubs, and four Promas-adapted blades will be provided for each of the hubs. It is calcu- lated that the fuel savings from integrating the propellers and rudders in this way will be at least 10%.

With the all-in-one system, it is possible to watch TV, play games, surf the internet, make telephone calls and listen to music or the radio as well as handle computer work and control lighting and climate. The universal hardware basis for this multifunction device is a custom- conﬁ gured “oceangoing” embedded Box PC from Kontron.

OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION | Norwe- gian operator Eni Norge has chosen design and engineering specialists Sevan Marine’s circular Floating Production Storage and Offl oading platform (FPSO) Sevan 1000 for the production of oil and gas in the Barents Sea starting in 2013. This FPSO has been designed specifi cally for rough arctic conditions and will be deployed in the Go- liat fi eld offshore Hammerfest in northern Norway. The fl oating platform meets strict environmental requirements and will be electrifi ed from onshore, thereby reducing

CO2 emissions. Sevan 1000 technology is designed to be fl exible and allows fast de- ployment. The platform, which has a characteristic cylindrical shape, is fully encapsulated to protect both crew and equipment from the cold and extreme weather in the Barents Rendering of the FPSO Photo: Eni Norge Sea.

New Ships – Ship&Off shore weekly

NO 5 INSIDE REPORT 31 JANUARY 2011 The French government will seek bidders soon to build the country’s fi rst major offshore wind- power farms, a project requiring total investment of 10 billion euros, President Nicolas Sarkozy said. | The tenders will be issued in the second quarter of 2011 for power-generation projects to supply 3,000 megawatts of electricity, Sarkozy said. “This new sector will represent 10,000 jobs,” Sarkozy said. The government hopes the tenders will come from French companies, he told workers as he visited a shipyard. The projects represent the fi rst half of the 6,000 megawatts of offshore wind energy that France plans to have in place by 2020. The president said the government will take time to create the offshore wind-power industry. Wind turbines are planned for fi ve sites off the country’s Atlantic coastline. The government will announce the winning bids by the beginning of 2012, Sarkozy said. Paris-based EDF Energies Nouvelles and Alstom signed an agreement this month to develop sea-based wind projects in preparation to bid to take part in the government programme. International inside report for the shipbuilding industry Under the agreement, Alstom, based in the French town of Levallois- Perret, would supply the sites with 6-megawatt turbines, the company said. Brazilian state-controlled oil company Petrobras has denied a report it is seeking to reduce use of Brazilian shipyards and Brazilian equipment because prices are not competitive. | An energy ministry offi cial also denied that Petrobras had approached the government about the matter. The newspaper Folha de S.Paulo said delays and high prices had led the oil company to consider reducing orders from Brazilian yards. “The story is completely false. Petrobras is trying to increase the local content of its purchases,” a Petrobras spokesman said. The company is seeking to build New Ships is an exclusive, weekly bulletin carrying concise reports and new items that detail billions of dollars of deepwater drilling rigs and offshore platforms in Brazilian shipyards as part of a plan to channel oil revenue into economic development and avoid the imbalances suffered by oil- exporting nations such as Venezuela and Nigeria. Critics say this will increase the cost of developing the offshore reserves, cut Petrobras’ profi ts and slow the overall development of Brazil’s oil sector. Petrobras offi cials say development of the vast offshore oil reserves in a region known as the subsalt clearly and precisely the most signifi cant new developments in the worldwide shipbuilding will depend on how fast local industry can expand production of the offshore equipment. Folha said Petrobras was seeking to cut local content requirements to 35 percent from 65 percent. It said Petrobras offi cials had asked the government to modify the so-called nationalization targets - the minimum share of local content for Petrobras supplies. “All of the meetings we have had about this issue have focused on increasing local content, and none of them have been about decreasing it,” industry. The main section of the bulletin consists of worldwide reports on “Prospects and said Mr Marco Antonio Almeida, Brazil’s oil and gas secretary for the Mining and Energy Ministry. The company plans to spend US$224 billion into 2014 to develop massive deepsea oil fi nds. Timely supply of equipment will be key to its efforts to nearly double oil production in Brazil by 2020. Drydocks World, the shipyard subsidiary of debt-troubled group Dubai World has agreed a new Orders” for new shipbuildings. US$200 million loan. | The shipbuilding arm of Dubai World said last year it was in talks with banks to restructure US$1.7 billion in debt due for payment in November 2011. Dubai World, the Gulf emirate’s fl agship conglomerate which has restructured US$25 billion in debt, has said Drydocks World was not included in its restructuring as the ship and rig builder had suffi cient fi nancial capacity to service its own debt. Drydocks World is likely to complete its debt talks in coming months. “This These are backed by such vital details as the names of appropriate contacts and how to reach (loan) facility is an important demonstration of the ongoing support for Drydocks World from our key banks,” Dubai World chairman Mr Khamis Juma Buamim said in a statement. “It will enable the company to continue to provide high quality services to its customers from its yards in Dubai, Singapore and Indonesia.” Drydocks signed a US$2.2 billion loan in October 2008, involving 15 lenders. them. For decades now the shipbuilding supplies industry has been gaining exclusive news The Croatian government said a purchase bid for one of its major shipyards 3. Maj had been abandoned, a step which might slow down the pace of European Union entry talks, in which the cutting of subsidies to ailing yards is a key demand. | The government said it would open a new tender to sell the 3.

Their four engines have a total power of 18,000 kW and propulsion power of 13,000 kW. These vessels are designed for extreme environmental conditions in the Sakha- lin area. They will be operating in thick drifting ice in temperatures as cold as minus 35C˚. The main purpose of these vessels is to supply the gas production platform and to protect it from the ice. The icebreaking capability of the vessels is said to be extremely high; they will be developed for operating independently in 1.7m-thick ice. As multipurpose vessels, they are capable of carrying various types of cargo and are equipped for oil-combating, fi re-fi ghting and rescue operations. The The icebreaking vessels will be able to operate in up to 1.7m-thick ice rescue capacity is for 195 persons.

EMSA | The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) recently signed a contract to provide pollution response capacity using the Cyprus-based tanker Alexan- dria. The 94m-long vessel considerably strengthens EMSA’s oil-spill response coverage of the eastern Mediterranean Sea, a sensitive area given its proximity to major oil transport routes through the Suez Canal and originating in Black Sea and Middle East ports. EMSA selected Petro- nav Ship Management Limited, a Cypriot company, to provide pollution response capacity with its tanker Alexandria.
