Luxury travel for luxury yachts |
WÄRTSILÄ WILL supply the 19.7MW power plant for a yacht carrier on order at the Yantai Raffles Shipyard in China by Dutch heavy transport specialist Dockwise Shipping.
The 205.34m (length) by 32.2m (beam) by 5.80m (operational draught) vessel carrier will be equipped with a 19 680kW diesel-electric plant for propulsion, ancillary electrical power and shipboard electrical services.
The plant will be powered by two Wärtsilä 12V38B main diesel generating sets, two Wärtsilä 6L20 auxiliary generating sets and a 300kWe emergency/ harbour generating set. The generating sets will supply twin Lips CS3500 pull thrusters for propulsion. This is one of the first vessels to be equipped with Lips pull thrusters.
The two 5.1MW azimuthing pull thrusters specified, will each be equipped with a 4m diameter Lips skewed pulling controllable pitch propeller and Sternguard MK2M shaft seals. Manoeuvrability will be further enhanced by a 1.64MW Lips CT225 transverse bow thrusters. The main and auxillary engines will incorporate common-rail fuel injection for zero visible smoke emissions, a key concern when transporting luxury yachts. The vessel will have a service speed of 18kts and will be employed in carrying yachts primarily across the North Atlantic with monthly sailings between Florida/ Caribbean and the Mediterranean. The yacht carrier is expected to reduce existing transatlantic transit time from 15 days to eight.
The cargoes of yachts themselves will be loaded by floating them over the deck, which measures 165m long by 31m wide, while the vessel is ballasted down. To protect the yachts, the cargo deck is equipped with high side walls.
The vessel, due for delivery autumn 2006, is understood to be the first to be designed and built for carrying luxury yachts. Dockwise presently has a fleet of four converted semi-submersible vessels dedicated to this business. A 19.7MW power plant will power the yacht carrier on order at Yantai Raffles Shipyard

AIMS scientists join seep marine life search |
Scientists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) have joined a team of researchers on board the national research facility Southern Surveyor to investigate natural gas and oil seeps in Australia’s Timor Sea. The research site is located in the north west Oceanic Shoals, about 550 km north west of Darwin.
AIMS said that its organic geochemist Kathy Burns is anxious to find these seeps and study a unique community of exotic organisms that get their energy from methane gas and oily hydrocarbons. It is an area of dramatic algal and coral formations that rise up 400m above the sea floor in waters at the very edge of the Australian continental shelf.
Marine scientists believe the surveys near the seeps will reveal unusual marine life, perhaps with genetic and biochemical traits of ancient lineage or novel compounds of interest to medical science.
“As well as searching for specialised animals visible to the naked eye, we will be sampling microbes that degrade the oil and make the hard carbonate seafloor,” Dr Burns said. “The more we know about the biodiversity of this region the better able managers are to conserve it.”
AIMS biogeochemist Gregg Brunskill and his team will be taking sediment cores (at depths of 300m to 500m) that will contain the history of the last 8,000 years of Timor Sea productivity, dust and ash falls, submarine volcanoes and climate change. Dr Brunskill said that: “We will attempt to sample the water and gases flowing out of the seafloor into the Timor Sea, and probably into the atmosphere.”
This study will attempt to estimate the rate that greenhouse gases (methane and carbon dioxide) flow from the sea into the atmosphere, as it contributes to the natural greenhouse gas account for Australia. The team will also try to estimate the rate of burial of organic matter in the deep sediments, which is part of the budget for the removal rate of fossil fuel carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Low-speed co-operation |
MITSUBISHI Heavy Industries (MHI) has developed a new lowspeed marine diesel engine, the UEC50LSE, in co-operation with Wärtsilä Switzerland.
The six-cylinder 6UEC50LSE is the result of a joint development agreement entered into in November 2002. After verification testing of performance and reliability on land, MHI will begin marketing the new engine.
UEC-type marine diesels, originally developed by MHI, are characterised by low fuel consumption and reduced consumption of cylinder lubricant, and provide power outputs ranging from 2080kW to 46 800kW. The LSE series was added to the UEC line-up in September 2001.
In developing the UEC50LSE, major specifications were set to target installation on Panamax and Handimax bulk carriers and feeder containerships. The cylinder bore of the new UEC50LSE engine is 500mm, with a maximum power output of 1660kW per cylinder. MHI claims that output is up to 15% higher compared to conventional engines of similar size.
he engine is designed to accommodate the SIP (Swirl Injection Principle) cylinder oil injection system, developed by Hans Jensen Lubricators in Denmark (and described in the February 2004 issue of SW&S), in order to enhance operating efficiency. The system has been show to greatly reduce cylinder oil consumption and minimise wear of cylinder ring liners.

| Data Buoys |
PLANET OCEAN has developed a number of data buoy platforms. This comprehensive range of ‘offthe- shelf’ hulls incorporates a number of features that make them attractive and cost effective as platforms for environmental instrumentation in all operational conditions.
The buoys range from the lowcost 1.24m DB-124 inshore buoy to the open ocean DB-300, 3.0 m buoy. All incorporate high specification radar reflectors, self-contained solar-powered navigation lights, through hull deployment tubes, solar panels and integral equipment housings. The buoys are foam filled and unsinkable.
The larger buoys can accommodate service personnel on board and are extremely stable platforms. The modular design allows buoys to be broken down for transport, and includes a removable top section that contains all of the electronic systems which can be removed from the hull without disturbing moorings.
A comprehensive range of telemetry modules, instrumentation packages and buoy location monitors are available if required.

| European scientists collaborate in €17.9 Million project to develop fouling-resistant nanosurfaces |
A group of leading European laboratories are collaborating in a recently launched Integrated Project funded by the EC under its Framework 6 programme. The aim of the project is to take advances in nanotechnology and apply them to the development of new types of coatings with properties that can resist the adhesion of fouling organisms in marine and freshwater environments. The project, called AMBIO (Advanced Nanostructured Surfaces for the Control of Biofouling), started on March 1 st and runs for 5 years. The total value of the contract is €17.9 Million of which €11.9 Million is provided by the EC.
The project has 31 Partners drawn from 14 countries across Europe. There are15 companies (including 10 SMEs), 10 universities and 6 research organisations.
The project is led by its Coordinator, Professor James Callow in the School of Biosciences, University of Birmingham. Professor Callow explained: "We expect AMBIO will make breakthroughs in the application of nanotechnology to the development of new polymers or surfaces that will form the basis of a new generation of antifouling coatings for application to ship hulls, oceanographic instruments, heat exchangers, membrane filters and aquaculture equipment. For example the incorporation into polymers of very small particles about 1/1000 of the diameter of a human hair- gives those polymers very different properties.The new types of coating will not release any harmful chemicals into the environment."
The AMBIO project is an example of a large scale, trans-national project that could not be mounted without the funding provided by the European Community. As a result of the AMBIO project, European industry will benefit from the improvements in technology that will lead to the introduction of new, value-added products into a competitive world market. Furthermore, the new technologies are more environmentally friendly. Professor Callow explained: “EU companies are world-leaders in anti-biofouling coating technology with 70% of the global market share. However, many of the technologies in use are subject to restrictions due to increasingly stringent environmental protection criteria, so the aim is to eliminate the current biocidal technologies. Nowadays, there are no generally applicable alternative non-toxic coating technologies, so that new research is needed to overcome this technology gap and to provide the EU companies with the fundamental science necessary to maintain their position at the forefront of the marine coating market.”

| The IMarEST Granted IOC Observer Status |
The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) has been granted official observer status of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO. The Institute was represented at the 23rd Assembly held at UNESCO in Paris 21-30 June by its Director General, Keith Read, CBE: "We hope this will be the beginning of a long relationship that will provide benefits for both the IOC and the IMarEST, with our membership contributing the professional marine users' view to the debate," he said.
“The delivery of effective oceanographic observing, monitoring and forecasting systems is the theme of the Operational Oceanography stream at the major marine event, the 2006 World Maritime Technology Conference (WMTC 2006), being hosted by IMarEST next March in London," says Keith Read. "WMTC 2006 features a ten-stream technical conference, and I know that the steering group for the Operational Oceanography stream has tabled a session on 'Industry and Government Applications for Operational Oceanography'; a subject heading that is bound to see the extension of tsunami warning systems being discussed. The full WMTC 2006 programme will be available from early October, and organisations working actively in the field of data gathering about the oceans and seas of the Earth will be taking part in the associated exhibition.
