A contract has been signed for a new $11 million tug, plus two container straddle crane orders worth $2.5 million. Port Otago is fully consented to begin its channel-deepening programme, between Port Chalmers and Taiaroa Head, and will by November be making a decision as to what extent dredging may be undertaken. During the past decade, Port Otago had spent about $90 million on infrastructure, largely on a new tug and two Chinese-made container cranes. During that period, 100% owner the Otago Regional Council was paid almost $80 million in dividends. Port Otago chief executive, Geoff Plunket, said yesterday the company was embarking on the ''first phase'' of about $100 million of infrastructure spending during the next decade, much of it aligned with its ''new generation'' dredging programmes for bigger ships. ''There's the new tug, the channel- deepening project, then over more than 10 years there's warehousing and some developments in Dunedin,'' Mr Plunket said. The ''immediate spend'', of a total $14 million, on the tug and straddle cranes, included about $400,000 for a scientific study into the dredging project. ''Once that study is completed, by about the end of November, a decision can be made on dredging,'' Mr Plunket said. One of the new Damen Group tugs, to be built in Vietnam for Port Otago. The contract for the new tug was signed with Netherlands-based Damen Group representatives yesterday, at Port Otago. Damen will have the tug built in a Vietnamese boatyard in Da Nang, to be completed by next June for its 30-day delivery voyage to Port Chalmers, by July or August next year. The 250-tonne tug, which will be the 63rd of its type made, is slightly larger than the 10-year-old Otago. It will be 24m long and 11.2m wide, and have a bollard pull of 68 tonnes, as opposed to the Otago's 56-tonne pull. Port Otago chief pilot, Capt Hugh Marshall, said pilots would appreciate the more powerful tug as a ''better tool'' for manoeuvering large container ships around the harbour. ''As ship sizes get bigger and bigger, the extra power will be appreciated,'' he said. The vessel, operated by two staff, was popular in New Zealand and Australia, he said. Maersk, Port Otago's largest container ship customer, has made some recent changes to its Southern Star shipping schedule. Some larger vessels with a capacity of up to more than 4000 containers will visit the port. The tug Otago was delivered a decade ago from a Whangarei yard, at a cost of about $8.5 million. The port company's near 40-year old tugs, Rangi and Karetai, will be put up for sale, Mr Plunket said. The two Kalmar cranes can straddle three stacked containers while carrying one. They will bring Port Otago's complement to six of that size. The Port operates 15 straddles in all. The new Kalmars will switch from diesel to diesel/electric power, and will be delivered by the end of the year, for assembly and commissioning.

I know Kees from his first trip we have made together in 1971 when he was a tow rider on a rig that was under tow by the tug Poolzee, I was A.B by then. Kees as well as the Poolzee were making there maiden voyage for Smit International. We have met each other a few times after that on some other trips. We lost contact after I left Smit in 1978. A few years ago we met each other again, and a lot of old 4/24 14TH VOLUME, NO. 34 DATED 16 JUNE 2013 stories were told of course. Also Kees saw a few of the paintings I've made, and I promised to make one for him. We decided that the painting should be the SmitWijs Singapore. Kees made the maiden voyage as a Chief Officer and a lot of times as Captain on the SmitWijs Singapore. He was the last Smit International Captain who sailed the SmitWijs Singapore under that name before she was sold to Svitzer, and was renamed Singapore. A few months ago he sailed on Svitzers Singapore, towing a barge from Honolulu to Galveston where the Singapore was sold, and renamed Global Succes I. Last week I handed over the painting I've made on Kees request. I hope that Kees will enjoy the painting of "his" ship for many years to come.

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.

Consequently, the position and ultimately survival of the owners is intensely influenced with the freight rate cycles, which in turn depend on demand and supply of ships. As historically proved, the higher the freight rates, the more orders for new ships are secured by shipyards. Most Shipping industry of the factors that impact shipowners’ decisions, especially those related to placing the orders, thus Freight rates extend their influence towards shipyards’ operations and earnings. Competition among shipyards Shipbuilding to ever attract more shipowners and secure more new orders or higher value orders, results in Newbuilding prices expanding their facilities, shortening delivery dates, making their ships’ design more appealing, lowering prices, etc. Observing fluctuations of the market and understanding impact factors on the freight rates’ segment and on shipbuilding segment therefore, is a crucial occupation accompanying executive decision making process for both, shipbuilders and shipowners.

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.

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.

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.

For large, stable ships, they will set sail with long journeys Transport, Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam and large cargo lots. The following article will introduce the shipbuilding industry in Vietnam today. According to statistical reports, Vietnam currently has about 120 shipbuilding and repairing factories Phuoc Quy Phong Nguyen with a tonnage of over 1,000 tons, with 170 lifting and lowering works. The total design capacity of Ho Chi Minh city University of the plants is about 2.6 million tons / year, but the actual capacity is only 800,000 - 1 million tons / Transport, Ho Chi Minh city, year.
