a 14-terminal tug contract between the twocompanies, whose working relationshipspans more than 25 years.
This substantial contract consists of twovessel types, representing Damen’s newest,as well as their most established, tug design.The deal comprises nine units based onthe successful Damen ASD 3212 model,
examples of the trusted ASD 2810 design,providing 50 tonnes bollard pull. The newtugs will be assisting tankers at nearshoreloading terminals and at the new single-point

ZF Marine Krimpen BV, based inKrimpen aan de Lek, the Netherlands, has
become the global competence centre forcommercial azimuth thruster technologywithin the ZF Marine Business Unit.
One of the company’s latest deliveriesin Europe is Anna-B , a versatile multi-purpose workboat with advanced dynamicpositioning capabilities. The vessel was builtat Neptune Shipyards in the Netherlands forStemat Marine Services. Anna-B is a so-called ‘Eurocarrier’, designed for harbourconstruction, offshore applications, anchor-handling, and supply, tug and standbyactivities for jack-up vessels and oil rigs. Thisrange of functions makes it truly versatile.
Instead of conventional shaft installationscombined with thrusters, Anna-B is solelyequipped with four ZF azimuth thrusters.The bow is equipped with two shallowdraft thrusters, type ZF SDT 4010 FP, each250kW, which are driven by electric engines
and an electric drive specially built at ZFMarine Krimpen. The stern has two well-
mounted azimuth thrusters, type ZF AT6311 WM-FP, of 1,140kW each, driven byCaterpillar engines.

On arrival at the offshore site, the units mustbe connected to their permanent mooringspread. The mooring spread is pre-laid priorto the arrival of the unit in such a way that

A highlight will be eco-friendly tugprojects, including the Rudderpropeller (SRP)series SRP 3000 and 4000 with PTI (powertake in). With the SRP PTI series, Schottelpresents a hybrid solution, reducing fuelconsumption and emissions considerably.The PTI is a PEM electric motor providing460kW at 1,100 rev/min for manoeuvringand transit operation up to 10km with the
main diesel engine turned off. The PTI ismounted on the upper water gearbox of theSRP opposite the input power train.
Since tugboats are required to perform awide variety of tasks across the entire powerspectrum, they are rarely, if ever, assuredof continued operations at or near the highpower levels required for optimum engineperformance. The PTI solution adapts tothe task at hand. It eliminates the part loadoperation from the combustion engine andtakes over for transit and idling. The systemfacilitates easy switch between engine andPTI during tug operation.
The power of the PTI can be added to thediesel engine in ‘boost mode’ for maximumbollard pull or high torque requirementsat partial loads. Moreover, the system doesnot need a battery, making the main engineconsiderably smaller in size, which in turn

Uzmar Shipyard has announced thedelivery of two diesel-electric shallow-draft river pushboats to owners Hidroviasdo Brazil SA. A total of eight pushboatswill operate in the Parana River, SouthAmerica, under a long-term iron ore bargetransportation contract with VALE.
The Robert Allan Ltd-designed pushboats
are customised for stringent requirements onrange, crash-stop distance, speed and heavyfuel oil operations. The aim is to shortenvoyage transit times with sophisticated powermanagement technology, and also to reducefuel consumption.
these newly-designed vessels, totallingapproximately 48,000dwt each, will operateon the extremely circuitous Parana Riverroute, so crash-stop ability is a key factor.The vessels have a minimum 2.1m draft, andthe higher installed horsepower and greatermanoeuvrability provided by three Z-drives
their 2,500km range at a high average speed.
The vessels measure 45.6m LOA, with abeam of 16.5m. They have a maximum draftof 2.5m fully loaded and are powered bythree Wärtsilä 9L20 diesel HFO generators,
each developing 1,800kW at 1,000 rev/min.This power is transmitted to AC direct-
controlled asynchronous electric motors forvariable propulsion, with three Schottel SRP1215 FP propellers of 2,150mm diameter. Thediesel-electric propulsion system is supplied
(a subsidy of Imtech). This arrangement
provides a bollard pull of 63 tonnes aheadand 57 tonnes astern, and a free-runningspeed of 13.2 knots.

The use of simulators in the shippingindustry is becoming increasingly widespread.Technology is becoming so accurate atmodelling hydrodynamic forces and vesselperformance that modern simulators are able
to introduce sailors to many of the situationsthey might meet out on the ocean.
Despite this, the philosophy of traininginstitutes seems to be something of a matter of
taste. Is training used as a means of preventingaccidents, or as ‘repair work’ after somethinghas gone wrong? How does training addressboth the need of the shipowner to make a
safety? We need to understand more aboutthe relationship between technical perfectionand so-called ‘soft’ skills, such as bridgeresource management.
To address this issue, K + S projectsdecided to study the person to whom all theseefforts are directed: the sailor. Stress and highworkload cause problems in many ways: theytake away control from the decision-making
process, and in the long-run affect health. Tolook at the complex system of the brain inextreme situations, an ambitious project withacademic and industry partners was initiated.
In the study, test subjects will be connectedto an EEG (electro-encephalogram) during atraining session in a ship-handling simulator,where they are asked to execute manoeuvresas the responsible tug master of a harbour tug.Similar tests will be conducted during ITS2014 to demonstrate the subject’s changingworkload. The results will support the designof individual and standardised training, incombination with modern management tools.

The neuroscience of safety
URAG-Industries has developeda new concept for detecting andremoving water, consisting of aturbidity sensor and vacuum dryers.
Water in hydraulic and lubricatingoil systems not only reduces the service
of the machine components and theentire system. Risks include corrosionof metallic systems components,
the chemical breakdown of additives.The URAG-Industries turbidity
sensor enables fast and reliable detectionof moisture in oil in lubrication andhydraulics applications. It can be usedin on-line moisture monitoring and asa control device, enabling separatorsand oil driers to be started only whenneeded. The transmitter measuresmoisture levels by detecting wateractivity and temperature levels. Thewater activity level indicates whetherthere is a risk of free water formation,and the measurement is independent ofoil type and age.
The probe can be inserted andremoved directly into lubrication oilthrough the supplied ball valve withoutdraining the system. In combinationwith the URAG-Industries vacuumdryer family of products, water can beremoved immediately.

Voith is currently working on thedevelopment of a new generation of VSPs.

type, the electric motor engages directly atthe bevel gear of the VSP as a power take-in (PTI), meaning that there is no need fora separate mechanical hybrid transmission.Voith has used similar technology inminehunters to ensure silent running, but thetechnology can now be applied to tugboats,where it enables cost savings compared toclassic hybrid solutions as well as furtherreductions in mechanical issues along theentire shaft line.
Another new development, in connectionwith the Voith electronic remote control, isa ‘sleep mode’ for VSPs driven by electricmotors, where one VSP moves into standbymode and does not rotate. Due to the uniqueX/Y thrust control of the technology, just oneactive VSP can keep the water tractor or OSVin position while it is in waiting position or in
dynamic positioning (DP) mode. This furtherreduces fuel consumption and wear.
For water tractors in sea operations, Voithalso offers Voith roll stabilization (VRS),
which reduces rolling motions by about70 per cent. The Netherlands researchinstitute MARIN carried out comprehensivemodel tests using the JIP SafeTug II.

A key advantage of the SGFsystem is its modular nature, enablingexact customer requirements to beimplemented. SGF couplings transmit
which reduces the mechanism’s totalweight. The link element solutionrequires less space for installation,and the volume of rubber required forshock absorption is also reduced.
In many cases, installation of thecoupling can take place even if themotor generator or transmission hasalready been installed. Maintenancecan be carried out without removingthe entire system, since all that isrequired is to replace the link elements
on the system. This applies bothto the initial installation, and whenperforming maintenance or repairs,

“The Mammoet brand stands for quality,innovation and engineering knowledge,”said Halfweeg, “as well as access to a vast
job done at minimal cost and for maximum
see how the company constantly invests inenthusiastic colleagues and new equipment.”
To keep up with market demand,Mammoet is constructing 28 new heavy-dutychain pullers, designed in-house (various
parts, such as the cylinders, control units andsteelworks, were manufactured externally).Assembly takes place at Mammoet’s ownyard in Schiedam, the Netherlands, ensuringfull control over the delivery process.
Mammoet has also added a fullycontainerised modular submerged directionaldrilling system (SDDS) to its equipment base.
The system, currently installed on MammoetSalvage’s own barge MSB3301 , consists ofa drilling machine, stinger, derricks, mud-mix installation and a control unit, and was
entirely designed and constructed in-house.The SDDS pinpoints the exact position todrill underneath any wreckage from one sideto the other in order to install wires or chains.
Fokko Ringersma, director, said: “Ourexpansion, together with growing demandand the complexity of the numerous projectswe execute, means that more emphasis isrequired on dedicated equipment, as well asthe organisational aspects of such projects.”
An example of such a project is the awardfor the salvage of the wrecked car carrier
Baltic Ace by the Dutch department ofpublic works. The wreck and its cargo need
to be removed because they pose a threat tothe environment and to shipping on thebusy route towards the Port of Rotterdam.Execution of the project is expected tocommence during 2014, and will becompleted before the end of 2015.
Arjan Herrebout, managing director, said:“One of our guiding principles, next to safetyand project delivery, is performing jobs inthe most economical manner – not only inmonetary terms, but also time-wise.”
Mammoet Salvage has expanded steadily
over the past seven years, and has a strongfootprint in Europe, Asia and the Americas.The company operates in both the wreckremoval and emergency response markets.
Mammoet Salvage has positioned specialised emergency response equipment at airportsin strategic locations around the world.The company believes that highly-skilledpeople and dedicated salvage equipment, incombination with locally available tugs andbarges, can make the difference during anytype of response.

still do happen, and of coursethey will do there as well.
way. For everything there isa solution.”
The point, however, is partof a bigger element of theglobal salvage picture: that ofwho is prepared to undertakesalvage work, wherever itmight be. Although certainstates have ETVs (emergencytowing vessels), the majority
of pollution prevention workglobally is done by commercial contractors.This point was acknowledged by StephenHammond MP, the UK shipping minister,who gave the keynote address at theconference. He added that the success of theparbuckling of Costa Concordia showedthat the salvage industry is “innovative andcapable of meeting the most demandingchallenges at sea”.
In fact, the innovation, the research anddevelopment – for techniques such as, forexample, hot tapping, transfer methods andbespoke solutions for individual cases –such as Costa Concordia – are done only bycontractors, and the biggest of those, at that.
Muller said that in Europe, there are somany commercial salvors available, a shipwould never be left ‘stuck on the beach’because there is no alternative source of
assistance. He continued: “I think themajority of the governments in Europe arehappy with the response of our membership.I think in general we have very good contactswith all the governments, and we can servethem, we can solve the problems. And ofcourse that’s commercially driven, we allneed to make money.”
Hammond was also outspoken about
the need for places of refuge – particularlypertinent at the time, with the stricken44,000dwt tanker Maritime Maisie still atthe mercy of the seas, fully laden with cargoand fuel, without being offered a safe port byKorea or Japan.
Speaking generally on the subject, Mullercommented: “There are no internationalagreements on how to cope in those caseswhere you have several countries involved.We have the IMO guidelines, and there is anEU directive – we think they function well aslong as people comply with them. I don’t think
it’s really necessary to have
new rules, but people must beaware that it’s necessary tocomply with the directives.
“As we have seen with the Prestige , if something goeswrong, there are probablymore countries affected thanonly one. Then they all havethe problem. The incentive tooffer a place of refuge shouldbe that you limit the chance ofpollutants getting everywhere.It’s not certain that if a shipseeks a place of refuge that
pollution will occur. It’s onlythe risk of pollution.“In my experience with vessels we have
brought in, governmental bodies, whether theport authority or regional authority, ask forguarantees from the ship owner. And if, inthe event, pollution occurs, they can clean itup and they can deal with it. They will makemoney – there is an incentive if somethinghappens, but if nothing happens, then theyhave shown their best will. It should not beabout money, it should be about concernabout pollution in a wider area.
“If you go back 20 years, communicationswere totally different to how they are today.Today you communicate more openly, and Ithink as long as you communicate well, youshould be able to bring the vessel in, andmember states of the EU should at least listento what the situation is – there should be no

SALVAGE
acted for Selco (as it was then known) aswell as one or two smaller but regular LOFsalvors. Salvage arbitrations were a monthlyoccurrence. As today, they were pushedthrough the system at remarkable speed,salvors seldom having to wait more than ayear for their awards, with cases capable ofsettlement being disposed of yet faster.
We had a managing clerk camped almostfull time in a hotel in Singapore, beforeEnglish solicitors were permitted to practisethere, taking evidence. He used to send, whensober, the salvage masters’ statements back
Some of these were very lengthy, covering
operations, and these statements were themain evidence relied upon in the arbitration.
These were the days when salvors operatedmore independently, less accountably, lessunder the scrutiny of coastal authorities andbefore the days of SCRs, daily reports and theother more open-book communications thatone sees today and which are, in my view,welcome developments. We used to turn upwith our document bundles and with counselbefore the Lloyd’s arbitrators, who to meappeared to be venerable gentlemen withidiosyncratic habits. The Appeal Arbitrator,the late and greatly respected Gerald DarlingQC, smoked a pipe and had the habit oftalking so softly through clenched teeth thatif the birds were singing in the gardens ofthe Inns of Court in London, as they oftenwere, those seated like myself at the far endof the long table simply could not hear whathe was saying.
One or two others were well known forhaving a tendency to drop off to sleep in theafternoon, causing much suppressed hilarityamong us youngsters, as counsel making hissubmissions would clear his throat rather loudly
and pretend not to have noticed while then
Calling LOF: Are you alive and well?continuing “… and, yes Sir, as I was saying…”.
The job was one that one learned, on one’sfeet, from practice and experience, as with thelaw of salvage. The main salvage text booksrelied upon today, Kennedy and Brice , hadyet to be published. Among my colleaguestoday at TugAdvise who recall those times,we can probably count among us more thana thousand salvage cases. The remarkablepoint is that each case is different and eachhas its – often fascinating – nautical features.
At the time of writing, as with manyreaders, I am looking forward to attending ITS2014 conference in 1994, which was held that yearin Southampton, a major topic for discussionwas salvage, and in particular salvage underLloyd’s Open Form (LOF). Some 140 LOFswere being signed annually at that time andno cure-no, pay salvage awards formed amajor part of the ISU companies’ revenue,
bottom line. Times have changed, however,and in past few years the number of LOFshas barely exceeded 50. So what explains thedecline in the usage?
Firstly, it is clear that no competing contracthas gained acceptance at LOF’s expense. Infact, apart from the Japanese Form, whichremains well-used locally, national variants,such as found in France or Norway, havefallen into disuse, while the notorious TurkishForm (where the arbitrator takes a percentageof the award) is a rarity. When one speaks tothe leading hull underwriters, they will all saythat if a case has to be dealt with on salvageterms, LOF is still the preferred contract. It is
range of cases, and is also constantly underreview: for example, the current proposalto formalise the attendance of a propertycasualty representative on site to protect theinterests of the salved parties.
No, there is nothing intrinsically wrong
with LOF. Put quite simply, the principal
reasons for the lower uptake are moderncommunications, falling ship casualtiesand increased competition between tug andsalvage operators. Combined with this,today’s underwriters are smarter, and able to
rate terms whenever they can. Shipownersand ships’ masters are risk-averse, and moreinclined to regard salvage as somethingunknown and therefore best avoided,although in some cases, where cargo valuesare much higher than hull values, savvyowners will still opt for LOF, as this willforce cargo to contribute directly to thecost of the salvage operation, avoiding amore laborious recovery of a contribution inGeneral Average.
One third of LOFs today are signed withSCOPIC invoked. This is a fairly sure signthat values are going to be low and, as thecost of the operation will then fall principally
to discourage agreement. Notwithstandingthese developments, the ISU companies’collective income from salvage has notgreatly declined: around US$175m over bothof the past two years of complete statistics.However, this is greatly exceeded now bywreck removal revenues.
So, to conclude, LOF is in rude health, andoperating well when needed. It is just notneeded so often.
