  • Safety Considerations and Approval Procedures for the Integration of Fuel Cells on Board of Ships
    SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS AND APPROVAL PROCEDURES FOR THE INTEGRATION OF FUEL CELLS ON BOARD OF SHIPS Vogler, F.1 and Dr. Würsig, G.2 1 Risk Assessment & Mechanical Engineering, Germanischer Lloyd AG, Vorsetzen 35, Hamburg, 20459, Germany, [email protected] 2 Risk Assessment & Mechanical Engineering, Germanischer Lloyd AG, Vorsetzen 35, Hamburg, 20459, Germany, [email protected] ABSTRACT The shipping industry is becoming increasingly visible on the global environmental agenda. Shipping's share of emissions to air is regarded to be significant and public concern lead to ongoing political pressure to reduce shipping emissions. International legislation at the IMO governing the reduction of SOx and NOx emissions from shipping is being enforced, and both the European Union and the USA are planning to introduce additional regional laws to reduce emissions. Therefore new approaches for more environmental friendly and energy efficient energy converter are under discussion. One possible solution will be the use of fuel cell systems for auxiliary power or main propulsion. The presentation summarizes the legal background in international shipping related to the use for gas as ship fuel and fuel cells. The focus of the presentation will be on the safety principles for the use of gas as fuel and fuel cells on board of ships and boats. The examples given show the successful integration of such systems on board of ships. Furthermore a short outlook will be given to the ongoing and planed projects for the use of fuel cells on board of ships. 1.0 EMISSIONS IN SHIPPING 1.1 Emission in Shipping Global warming, acidification and degradation of air quality are environmental impact categories high on the international agenda.

  • Role of Classification Society in Arctic Shipping
    ROLE OF CLASSIFICATION SOCIETY IN ARCTIC SHIPPING Seppo Liukkonen, Station Manager, DNVGL Station Helsinki Abstract The core mission of a classification society is “to protect human lives, property and the environment”. In first place the classification societies are fulfilling this function in marine environment, because the classification business in its current form started within sea transportation and shipping. Since then the function of the classification societies has widened to comprise shipbuilding, different kinds of off- shore activities and also some on-shore activities. When fulfilling their function the classification societies are using their own classification rules as their main, own tool. Additionally, the classification societies are often fulfilling their above-mentioned function by working together with and on behalf of the flag state administrations. Here the so-called IMO instruments such as the SOLAS and MARPOL conventions, for instance, are the main basis of the work. Also, international standards, such as the EN-ISO and IEC standards, for instance, and other national and international regulations, such as the Finnish-Swedish Ice Class Rules and Canadian Arctic Pollution Prevention Regulations, for instance, are used by the classification societies. Basically, the work of the classification societies is to ensure that the object in question, e.g., a ship, an off-shore structure, a quality management system, etc., is in compliance with the above-mentioned relevant rules and regulations. In practice this can be done, e.g., with plan approvals, supervision of manufacturing, surveys, inspections and audits. This presentation gives an overview about the role of the classification societies in ensuring and developing the safe Arctic shipping.

  • International Association of Classification Societies
    International Association of Classifi cation Societies Roy Nersesian and Subrina Mahmood I. Introduction Th e International Association of Classifi cation Societies (IACS), headquar- tered in London, is made up of ten classifi cation societies: Lloyds Register (LR), American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Bureau Veritas (BV), China Clas- sifi cation Society (CCS), Det Norske Veritas (DNV), Germanischer Lloyd (GL), Korean Register (KR), Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (NK), Registro Italiano Navale (RINA), and the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS), as well as the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS) as an associate member. According to the Maritime International Secretariet Services (www.marisec.org), there are 47,700 vessels in the world trading fl eet made up principally of general cargo vessels, bulk carriers, container ships, tankers, and passenger vessels. If vessels smaller than 100 gross tons are included (too small to venture on the high seas or participate in international trade), the world fl eet numbers close to 100,000. Most of the world’s trading vessels – nearly 41,000 in 2008 – are registered with classifi cation society members of the IACS. Th e remaining vessels are covered by non-IASC member classifi cation societies. Classifi cation societies develop and implement technical standards for ships and fl oating off shore oil production and storage facilities. Th ese societies set rules to ensure the structural strength and integrity of the ship’s hull and its internal structure, cargo holds, bridge superstructure as well as the functional aspects and reliability of propulsion, steering systems, power generation, cargo handling, ship control, communication, navigation, emer- gency and other auxiliary systems.

  • Detentionlist 01 2016
    SHORT GUIDANCE TO THE MONTHLY LIST OF DETENTIONS OF THE PARIS MOU • INFORMATION IN THE LIST The monthly list of detentions of the Paris MOU contains information about ships which were detained in the Paris MOU region during the month under review. An alphabetical index on ship’s name and an index on IMO number are provided with the list. The information listed for each ship is conform Annex 4 Publication of Information related to Detentions and Inspections. (As referred to in Section 5.2 of the Memorandum) http://www.parismou.org/Organization/2010.12.27/Memorandum_of_Understanding.htm Some of these items require an explanation: RO related deficiencies: a ‘Yes’ in this column indicates that one or more of the deficiencies mentioned under ‘Reasons for detention’ are the responsibility of the Recognized Organization which has issued the relevant certificate(s). This is not necessarily the Recognized Organization mentioned in the list (see below)! Port and date of release from detention: details of detentions are entered in the information system of the Paris MOU after the ship has been released. Therefore, the details on a detention of a ship detained in September but released in October are only available in October. Recognized Organization: the Recognized Organization mentioned is not necessarily the party issuing the certificates relevant for all deficiencies which were reasons for detention. ‘Ship allowed to sail to nearest repair yard for repairs’: in general, a ship is not released from detention before all necessary repairs have been made. However, sometimes it is not possible to repair all defects at the place of detention.

  • Shipping Made in Hamburg
    Shipping made in Hamburg The history of the Hapag-Lloyd AG THE HISTORY OF THE HAPAG-LLOYD AG Historical Context By the middle of the 19th Century the industrial revolution has caused the disap- pearance of many crafts in Europe, fewer and fewer workers are now required. In a first process of globalization transport links are developing at great speed. For the first time, railways are enabling even ordinary citizens to move their place of residen- ce, while the first steamships are being tested in overseas trades. A great wave of emigration to the United States is just starting. “Speak up! Why are you moving away?” asks the poet Ferdinand Freiligrath in the ballad “The emigrants” that became something of a hymn for a German national mo- vement. The answer is simple: Because they can no longer stand life at home. Until 1918, stress and political repression cause millions of Europeans, among them many Germans, especially, to make off for the New World to look for new opportunities, a new life. Germany is splintered into backward princedoms under absolute rule. Mass poverty prevails and the lower orders are emigrating in swarms. That suits the rulers only too well, since a ticket to America produces a solution to all social problems. Any troublemaker can be sent across the big pond. The residents of entire almshouses are collectively despatched on voyage. New York is soon complaining about hordes of German beggars. The dangers of emigration are just as unlimited as the hoped-for opportunities in the USA. Most of the emigrants are literally without any experience, have never left their place of birth, and before the paradise they dream of, comes a hell.

It is reasonable to expect that those in the industry will maintain the safety of personnel and protection of the marine environment in accordance with Australian and international standards. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) assists in ensuring these expectations are met through continuing to deliver a rigorous port State control (PSC) program, supported by the Australian government and other maritime industry stakeholders. AMSA has been able to see the benefits of this program through analysis of PSC data over a number of years, with a clear improvement in the overall standard of foreign flag ships and a general decline in average deficiencies per PSC inspection. We recognise that this is only partly a result of the efforts and professionalism of the AMSA Marine Surveyors, systems and support staff; the efforts of the users of shipping coming to Australian ports to employ quality tonnage are also to be applauded as are the efforts of ship crews and managers.

Owners gain an ultimate profit from dismantlement. Most of the offshore platforms sent to be demolished since the beginning of the year are semi-submersible rigs. This type of rig weighs 10 to 15,000 t, i.e. a gain for the last owners of 2-4 million $ on the current purchase price from shipbreaking yards. Seen in the scrapyards: Bangladesh: DB 101, Saint-Kitts-and-Nevis flag, 35.000 t. Nobi, Saint-Kitts-and-Nevis flag, 14.987 t. India: Ocean Epoch, Marshall Islands flag, 11.099 t. Octopus, 10.625 t.
