Lowering CO2 output is one of the biggest challenges of the shipping industry

IMO Secretary-General Sekimizu:
“We have a good story to tell”
Koji Sekimizu, the new secretary-general of the International Maritime Organization
(IMO), has been in office for
about nine months now. He
gave an interview expressing his appreciation of the
progress made by the ship-
ping industry towards more
sustainability. “I’m more than
happy to talk about the activities that the regulator of the
international shipping industry has taken, as IMO has a
very good story to tell in this
respect,” he said.
Mr Sekimizu, what has the
shipping industry done to help
lower CO2 output?
SEKIMIZU: Mandatory measures were adopted by governments within IMO last year and
will require, once they have en-
tered into force in 2013, a progressive improvement in vessel
efficiency and a consequent
reduction in CO2 emissions.
But they leave it to the industry
to determine exactly how the
targets will be met. There are
plenty of innovative

technologies that the industry can adopt to improve vessel
efficiency and reduce CO2 output. It will be interesting to see
which ones find favour.
What concepts do you envision
for dealing with sulphur emissions, especially in ports?
SEKIMIZU: Sulphur emissions
are regulated in MARPOL Annex VI, a revised version of
which entered into force on
July 1st 2010. It requires a progressive reduction, globally, in
emissions of SOx, NOx and
particulate matter, and introduces the concept of Emis-
SMM DaIly neWS | CLASSIFICATION
sion Control Areas (ECAs) to
reduce emissions of those air
pollutants further in certain
designated sea areas.
To address air quality issues
in a specific sea area, such as a
busy port, any party to MARPOL Annex VI may propose
the designation of an Emission Control Area based on
criteria and procedures laid
down in that treaty. Under
the revised MARPOL Annex
VI, the global sulphur cap is
reduced initially to 3.50 per
cent (from the previous 4.50
per cent), effective from January 1st 2012; then progressively to 0.50 per cent, effective from January 1st 2020,
subject to a feasibility review
to be completed no later than
2018. The limits applicable
in ECAs were reduced to 1.00
per cent, beginning on July
1st 2010 (from the original
1.50 per cent); being further
reduced to 0.10 per cent, effective from January 1st 2015.
Again, these measures do
not prescribe exactly how the
emission limits should be met,
which should allow innovation and technical advances to
flourish. But, in essence, the
shipowner has to either burn
cleaner, low-sulphur, fuel, or
employ a method of cleaning
the ship’s exhaust gas to meet
the required standards.
Regarding LNG and alternative
energy sources: What, in your
opinion, are the most promising
technologies to achieve better
protection of the environment
and more efficient ships?
BV-classed fleet
exceeds 10,000
vessels
The international classification
society Bureau Veritas (BV) announced at a press conference
on Tuesday that the BV-classed
fleet now numbered 10,055
vessels totalling 93.4m gt. In
addition, 1,790 inland water
vessels have been classed by
BV. It attributed the growth to
strong deliveries of newbuildings and a strong inflow of
vessels in service attracted by
BV’s range of services.
X IMprInt
Koji Sekimizu, the new secretary-general of the IMO
SEKIMIZU: IMO’s approach
is not to regulate in favour of
any one technology or energy
source, but rather to set efficiency targets and leave it to
the industry to find the best
ways to meet those targets. In
this way, innovation is encouraged. However, IMO is engaged
in the development of a code
for gas-fuelled ships, as LNG
has proven to be a good alternative marine fuel, in particular in Emission Control Areas.
Photo: IMO
Although we can all hope for
a technological breakthrough
that would solve the issue, or a
new zero-carbon fuel to come
on the market, there will be
no magic bullet or single solution. Hull shape, improved
diesel engines and propulsion
systems, to mention but a few,
will continue to be the focus,
besides speed reductions,
which may prove to be the
single most important issue in
energy efficiency.

BV is the world’s second-largest classification society by
number of vessels classed and
has about 20 per cent of the
world newbuilding order book
by number of vessels. A total of
38.1 per cent of its fleet is made
up of bulk carriers, followed by
18.7 per cent tankers, 12.8 per
cent container ships, 7.9 per
cent cargo ships, 7.4 per cent
gas carriers, 4.5 per cent passenger vessels, 2.6 per cent offshore units and 8 per cent other
kinds of ships. Significant new
services launched by Bureau
Veritas in the recent past include a suite of environmental
tools and a simplified online
certification system.
The society’s energy efficiency
services include voluntary conformity assessment, technical
assistance, consultancy and
training. The company can deliver Energy Efficiency Design

and allows yards and owners to
model and test the effect of different design, equipment and
operational changes.
BV has put in place a completely
new IT-based certification and
ship status system. It is aimed
at reducing the workload of
shipowners and operators and
simplifying access to ship information and status. A ship’s classification certificate has grown
from one simple page into a
document with many pages and
annexes that consist of both
printed and handwritten entries.
BV’s new certification system
once more makes the ship’s Certificate of Classification a simple
one-page document. Everything
else is online in a standardised
and easy-to-access format.

Germany’s federal minister of
economics and technology, Dr
Philipp Rösler, officially opened
SMM (shipbuilding, machinery
& marine technology international trade fair) in Hamburg
on Monday evening.
“The shipbuilding trade fair
SMM is a powerhouse of the
world economy. Our shipyards,
suppliers and marine technology industry are impressively
demonstrating here that they’re
well positioned for global competition,” Rösler said. “I’m
pleased that Hamburg’s mari-
time industry trade fair is now
taking place for the 25th time
under the umbrella of SMM.”
Rösler said the international
exhibition of top technology
showed that the maritime industry had a bright future. Such
major challenges as climate
change, Germany’s nuclear
power phase-out and secure
supplies of raw materials cannot
be mastered on land alone, he
noted. Consequently, he added,
a huge market for new technologies was rapidly developing, for example in the field of
offshore wind energy – ranging

Moss hydro – a new provider of
ballast water treatment filters
A new provider of ballast water treatment (BWT) filters
is introducing itself at SMM
2012. “Moss Hydro filters,
which will hit the market in Q4
this year, have been designed
specifically for the treatment
of ballast water – to meet the
challenges of the environment
in a way that our competitors
can’t,” said Stein Foss, CEO of
the newcomer.
“There is a genuine need – a
hunger – for our products,”
remarked Foss. “Current ballast water treatment filters are
prone to blockage, threatening
the operation of BWT systems
and therefore the ships that
use them. Added to that, there
aren’t enough filter suppliers in
the market, meaning there will
be huge bottlenecks as IMO
ballast water mandates come
into force up to 2016.”
To meet the highest requirements, Moss Hydro is using
a self-adjusting pressure-balanced cleaning head that travels around the filter screen, removing any detritus. Increased
backwash fluid velocity rinses
the system clean with focused
force, while its closed nature
ensures that external components won’t get stuck.
“It’s the best available technology on the market,” Foss

Protect your valuable equipment
Eric Leegwater, Moss Hydro senior vice-president, Sales & Marketing
asserted. But how can a new
company promise to meet the
demands of the “super-hot”
BWT market?
“Through clever collaboration,” explained Eric Leegwater,
Moss Hydro’s vice president of
Sales & Marketing. Leegwater
said the company had struck an
exclusive manufacturing agreement with a leading European
producer of stainless steel pressure vessels, giving Moss Hydro
access to a state-of-the-art production facility of 20,000m²
along with 200 staff members
and a huge workload capacity.
“These resources give us an extremely short turnaround time
for orders,” Leegwater said, “a
crucial point of difference as
the approaching regulations
threaten ever-larger supplier
backlogs in the sector.”
According to Foss, Moss Hydro
believes that its filter housings

will benefit from a super-duplex
stainless steel construction rather than the traditional carbon
steel casings. This innovation
gives the company’s filters substantial weight advantages over
rivals (they are 50-70 per cent
lighter), making them easier to
install, with less need for foundation work and support.

Seizing opportunities
through greater efficiency
Efficiency was the watchword
at classification society Germanischer Lloyd’s press conference at SMM on Tuesday.
A multi-tier market in which
owners and operators of optimised vessels hold a significant advantage over those
running older tonnage is on
the horizon, a top executive
from the company said.
CEO Erik van der Noordaa examined how research and development, innovation efforts
and state-of-the-art software
from the GL Group would continue to minimise sea transport
risks and emissions, increase
vessel availability, lower life-cycle costs and bring operational
improvements.
The benefits of an interdisciplinary approach and the synergies that have arisen through
integration at the GL Group
were pointed out by COO
Torsten Schramm, who looked
at how GL has been able to leverage its expertise by merging
its offshore competencies.
GL’s head of Research and Rule
Development, Dr Pierre Sames,
gave an update on LNG, showing how it was emerging as a
viable alternative to HFO, especially in Emission Control
Areas (ECAs).
Albrecht Grell, head of GL’s
Maritime Solutions, evaluated
new opportunities in the shipping markets. Given the current
circumstances, sailing speeds
have been reduced across the
board and fuel efficiency has
become the biggest lever to increase cost competitiveness, he
noted. Investors with the ability to finance new vessels in the
current economic climate could
lock in significant competitive
advantages over the existing
fleet. In a multi-tier market that
differentiates between vessels
based on their efficiency, this
will result in significantly improved employment opportu-
nities and earnings. These benefits stem from three sources,
Grell said: the design of new
vessels for lower speed, the
utilisation of state-of-the-art
optimisation technology and
services, and significantly lower
newbuilding prices. According
to GL research, the financial
benefits are so substantial that
a newly built, fully optimised
vessel will be more economical
to operate than an existing vessel even if the existing vessel’s
capital costs are removed from
the calculation.

As both its cruise-related and
cargo vessel supply businesses grow, the Marine Logistics
division of Netherlands-based
Geodis Wilson has ramped
up its presence in Hamburg.
Geodis Wilson is part of the
SNCF Geodis Group, the global
freight management arm of
France’s SNCF. At SMM 2012,
it is showing its tailored transport and logistics solutions for
the cruise and merchant shipping industries.
Geodis Wilson’s Marine Logistics division has established
one of its global “control towers” in Hamburg. Initially, this
was to facilitate successful management of two projects at the
German port, in May and June,
for Crystal Cruises. The Marine
Logistics team handled transport and logistics management
of an array of spare and replacement parts as well as other
supplies involved in the overhaul and refitting of the Crystal
Serenity and Crystal Symphony at
the Blohm & Voss dry dock.
Hamburg is now well-established as a cruise hub, and its
importance as a regular port
of call for liner vessels (both
container and break-bulk) as
well as being a major port for
liquid and bulk cargoes make
it a critical focal point for the
delivery of Geodis Wilson Marine Logistics’ rapidly expanding services.

the problem of pirate attacks

coast of Somalia. How do you
assess the effectiveness of this
operation?
STRICKER: The change in the

security of maritime logistics
and the development of future
maritime capabilities will be
the key issues for us this year. A

“the future of

For well over 50 years, Interschalt maritime systems AG,
headquartered near Hamburg,
has been developing, manufacturing and marketing maritime
systems,
electro-technical
equipment, automation and
information technology for the
shipping and shipbuilding industry. Product highlights the
company is presenting at this
year’s SMM range from its

The new TROP trim optimisation solution
The maritime shipping industry has been forced to contend
with the key issues of energy
efficiency and sustainability.
Optimising the trim of a ship
is a good way to achieve lasting
reductions in fuel consumption. In fact, trim optimisation
has been an object of investigation since the 1990s. Based on
the findings, Interschalt added
a ballast optimisation tool to
its MACS3 loading computer
system. The new TROP trim optimisation module is now fully
integrated into Interschalt‘s
proven MACS3 loading computer system.

What has been mandatory for
new ships since mid-2011 will
now also be required for entire fleets by July 2014, as per
IMO resolution MCS 128(75):
a bridge navigational watch
alarm system (BNWAS). The
good news is that Interschalt‘s
BNWAS can be seamlessly retrofitted into existing systems. If
desired, a ship’s onboard technicians easily and quickly install the BNWAS system themselves.

Germany-based Voith is displaying numerous new and
further developments at this
year’s SMM in Hamburg. Eyecatchers are a full-scale Voith
Schneider Propeller and fullscale Voith Inline Thruster. In
addition, Voith is presenting
the new SteamTrac waste heat
recovery system, a functional
model of a new control stand
and the Voith Radial Propeller.
Voith is unveiling its proprietary control system for the
steering and propulsion of
vessels equipped with Voith
Schneider Propellers or Voith
Radial Propellers. The functional model of a control stand
includes all bridge components
such as joystick, steering wheel
and propulsion lever, showing
SMM visitors just how fast and
precise the new control system
operates. It will be installed for
the first time in a double-ended
ferry at the end of the year and
go into series production by
mid-2013.
One eye-catcher at this year’s
SMM is the size 36 Voith
Schneider Propeller (VSP),
which is about 6m high. A new
Voith Radial Propeller (VRP)
of the second size class, with a
diameter of 3.8m, is also being
presented at the show. Having
an input power of 4,500 kW,
these VRPs are particularly suited to drilling vessels and drilling platforms that are generally
equipped with six to eight propulsion units.
The company is also displaying
two Voith Inline Thrusters (VIT)
as well as a Voith Inline Propulsor (VIP), known as RIM drives,
which support vessels during
manoeuvring and dynamic positioning but can also be used
as main propulsion systems.
They combine electrical, mechanical and hydrodynamic elements and ensure low vibration,
extremely smooth running,
excellent hydrodynamic characteristics as well as an environmentally friendly, compact and
low-maintenance design. Voith
will present a VIT with a propeller diameter of 1m along with
the new, currently most powerful VIT 2300 - 1500 thruster with
Dr Martin Füllenbach (left), member of the management board
of Voith Turbo, and Carsten J. Reinhardt, member of the corporate board of management

an internal diameter of 2.3m
and power of 1,500 kW. To date,
this RIM drive technology power
class is unparalleled.
Further developments presented by Voith at SMM include the
SteamTrac. During combustion
of fuel in diesel engines, about
60 per cent of the energy is
converted into waste heat. The
Voith SteamTrac enables re-use
of some of this energy, result-
ing in an increase in propulsion
energy and simultaneous decrease of fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions. The SteamTrac
is currently undergoing longterm testing on board the push
boat Veerhaven X, which runs
daily between Rotterdam and
Duisburg.

compliance with Ballast
Water Management convention
Modern tanker, pumping out ballast water
The International Convention
for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water
and Sediments (BWM Convention) is expected to enter into
force in 2014 at the earliest.
To help shipowners comply
with the upcoming regulations, a number of guidelines
have been developed. They
include “Ballast Water: The
Guide”, recently published by
the UK-based service provider
Fathom.
It is estimated that the merchant shipping fleet transports
up to 12 billion tonnes of ballast water around the globe annually. To prevent non-native

species from invading alien
ecosystems, in 2004 the IMO
adopted the International Convention for the Control and
Management of Ships’ Ballast
Water and Sediments (BWM
Convention). It requires ships
to conduct a ballast water exchange or meet a concentrationbased ballast water discharge
standard in accordance with a
gradually implemented schedule linked to the ship’s build
date and amount of ballast on
board. Since vessels have not
been designed and equipped
to treat ballast water, installation of a ballast water management system is necessary
to ensure conformity with the
strict water quality standards
set in what is known as Regulation D2. However, the BWM
Convention has yet to reach
the required number of signatories for formal ratification.
Entry into force will occur 12
months after ratification by
30 states representing 35 per
cent of world merchant shipping gross tonnage. There are
many installation challenges to
overcome, such as compatibility with existing ballast pumps
and tank stripping ejectors,
as well as space, power and
safety concerns. Careful consideration must also be given
to how performance may vary
as operating conditions – e.g.
sediment content, algae, salinity and temperature – change.
Initial purchase and installation costs are obvious factors,
but operating costs over the life
of the vessel need to be calculated, too. In cooperation with
the classification society ABS,
UK-based Fathom, a provider

Globally 68,000 ships need to get ready for compliance with
the BWM Convention. However, it is questionable whether
shipyards, equipment manufacturers, class societies and others will be able to meet the demands on time. To demonstrate
the risk of possible bottlenecks in the installation and retrofi t
of ballast water treatment systems, the classification society

published “Ballast Water: The
Guide”. It says the guide is an
essential tool for shipowners
in ories: mechanical, physical
and chemical.
The ballast water management
system may be installed at various locations throughout a vessel. The acceptability of the location and arrangement depend
on the type of treatment system
under consideration, the installation specifications and the
type of vessel involved. Each
installation must be carefully
evaluated to verify that potential safety concerns and pollution hazards are adequately addressed, according to Fathom’s
guide. The publication can be

Knaack & Jahn Schiffbau GmbH,
a piping and fire-fighting systems specialist with headquarters in Hamburg, is presenting
its KJ FireOff water mist fire
protection system for RoRo ferries at SMM 2012.
the new diesel engines by
Moteurs Baudouin
Moteurs Baudouin is a subsidiary of China’s Weichai Power
Company, a global diesel engine provider for the industrial, heavy vehicle and marine
sectors whose European R&D
centre is located at Moteurs
Baudouin’s headquarters in
France. Moteurs Baudouin is
presenting two new products
from its electrical power solutions portfolio at SMM in
Hamburg: the 4W105S marine
generator set and the 6M19.3
marine diesel engine.
The company says the 6M19.3
high-pressure, common rail
(HPCR) marine diesel engine
offers reliable and economical
propulsion for the marine and
inland shipping industries.
Specially developed for typical marine cycles, the 6M19.3
achieves outstanding specific
fuel oil consumption in its
category down to 192 g/kWh
in towing speed / max power.
The engine’s increased efficiency simultaneously allows
high power availability in-
cluding high torque at intermediate and idling speed. The
six-cylinder inline 6M19.3
engine covers a power range
from 331 to 425 kW at 1,800
to 2,200 rpm.
The electronically controlled engine also ensures lower
airborne noise, significantly
reduced NOx and particulate
values and offers optimised
operating costs at extended
maintenance intervals, according to the manufacturer.
The 4W105S marine generator
KJ FireOff is the brand name
for effective fire protection on
ships. The special water mist
sprinkler system is available in
a wet and a dry version. Both
have been tested as per MSC1/
Circ.1272, which replaced
the earlier IMO test standard
MSC/Circ.914. The regulation
includes approval scenarios
and tests of system performance in fire suppression. In
simulated fires on RoRo car
and truck decks, the reliability
and durability of the nozzles

were tested. They also operate
with seawater and are corrosion-resistant.
KJ FireOff OHM-PX1 automatic nozzles are for wet
system detection with glass
bulbs. Detection by means
of the bulbs is extremely fast
and reliable – their aesthetic
design is combined with high
functionality.
KJ FireOff OHM-OPX1 is the
open nozzle for deluge systems. This newly designed
nozzle is for dry applications.
The release functions both
automatically and manually.
Deluge systems will be the
preferred solution on decks at
risk of freezing.
The Knaack & Jahn system and
all individual components
fulfil all relevant shipbuilding
industry requirements, and all
marine approvals are available.

set adds an 85 (105) kVA – 50
(60) Hz prime power solution
to the company’s portfolio.
Based on a four-cylinder, inline diesel prime mover with
mechanical injection, the
4W105S consolidates Moteurs
Baudouin’s
comprehensive
power range up to 845 (875)
kVA. The 4W105S is also available with standby power ratings of 95 (115) kVA.

X THE MARITIME BOOKSTORE RECOMMENDS
handbuch Schiffssicherheit –
Erkennen, Bewerten, Entscheiden, Handeln
(“Ship Safety Manual – Recognising,
Assessing, Deciding, Acting”)
The second edition of the
“Ship Safety Manual” provides comprehensive, upto-date information on how
to effectively develop and
implement the safety management required on seagoing vessels, and particularly on how to deal with
imminent dangers during
the operation of a vessel.
Working through the manual’s major topics such as
fire protection, grounding,
water ingress and hazardous materials – with example calculations and cases
– the student / ship’s officer
can acquire the professional
expertise necessary to recognise and assess poten-
tially dangerous situations
in advance, and to organise
the appropriate protective
measures for conceivable
emergencies. A chapter on
averting dangers / security
– currently of great interest
– was newly added, with important suggestions on how
to defend a ship against
threats, e.g. pirate attacks.
There is also an extensive
chapter, including many diagrammatic representations,
on surviving emergencies
at sea. The diverse objective
and subjective factors in
each phase of a rescue procedure are described, and
proposals are made for the
proper responses.

by means of an innovative
and flexible tank arrangement
consisting of both fixed and
mobile bunker tanks. The container tanks can be taken on
and off board with the normal
container loading and unloading system. Achieving fuel savings of up to 33% compared
with conventional newbuilds,
a Stream container ship with a
capacity of 4,200 TEU emits as
many as 500,000 fewer tonnes
of CO2 in its lifetime, depending on its operating area.
Stream stands for “Sustainable
Transport, Reliable, Economical and Ambitious”; it can also
be adapted to other types of
ships. The first Stream design
for an LNG dual-fuel powered
offshore transport ship has
been contracted by China’s
Jiangsu Hantong Ship Heavy
Industry. Delivery is scheduled
for April 2014. The vessel, to
be operated by the shipping
company owned by the Jiangsu
Hantong Group, will service
the route from Nantong, China, to Wilhelmshaven, Germany, and transport foundations and components for the
construction of offshore wind
farms. According to Technolog,
the ship has a range of 22,000
nautical miles, so it is possible
to make a round trip without
refuelling. Technolog at SMM 2012:

content of 0.1 per cent. LNG
is completely sulphur-free and
contains less carbon than bunker oils, which also reduces
ships’ emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). Most shipping
companies remain very sceptical of the new fuel, however,
because LNG supply in ports is

Water mist systems such as
Autronica’s FlexiFOG provide
significant benefits, e.g. they
can be activated the moment
a fire is detected, rather than
having to wait for personnel to
clear and seal the area before a
fire can be suppressed.

that can be customised to individual voyage requirements.
Thomas Gunn said it had incorporated a number of industry
firsts into the new Voyager.
The new route-planning functionality will enable the operator to plot an optimum route
and then automatically receive
a tailored list of corrections for
that route alone, while the digital loose-leaf application delivers digitised updates straight
to the vessel. Thomas Gunn is
also very proud of its partnerships with organisations such
as Shipping Guides, Regs4ships

Optimarin forecasts bottleneck
in meeting BWT regulations
Latest development SWASH@A&R
Optimarin, a leading provider of
ballast water treatment (BWT)
systems, announced its current
turnover figures at SMM on
Tuesday. The Norwegian company is showing a robust 3rd
quarter, with revenue climbing
to NOK 150 million (EUR 20.5
million). This is a more than
100 per cent increase over last
year’s aggregate turnover of
NOK 77 million. But Optimarin
says the shipping industry has
to act faster to meet IMO ballast water regulations taking
effect in 2016.
hull). For greater stability, the
SWASH has two outriggers on
either side, similar to a trimaran. The outriggers provide
a further advantage: “With
them we get a plane surface
required to berth safely,” explained Karsten Fach, head of
sales and marketing at A&R.
“In principle the SWASH type
works as well as a SWATH
boat.” But in contrast to
a SWATH, the SWASH is a
monohull in which the entire
propulsion technology – diesel engine, generator, gearbox,
propeller shaft and thruster
– is located. This means that
more space is available on
deck, which accommodates up
to ten people. The lifting hull
is placed approximately 3m
under the water surface and
is connected to the deck area
via struts. “For us, the SWASH
development is a stabilised
single hull, where the lifting
comes from the middle tube,”

“We estimate that only 5 per
cent of the some 77,800 BWTapplicable ships in the world
fleet have ordered their systems. Hundreds of shipowners are stalling decisive action,
which will severely affect future
operations and earnings,” said
Pål Sanner, CEO of Optimarin.
Approximately 18,200 general
cargo vessels, 6,400 passenger
ships and 6,300 offshore vessels must meet IMO’s BWT criteria by 2014. A large number
of vessels, including 9,000 bulk
carriers, 14,000 tankers, 19,500
chemical carriers, RoRo and
combination vessels and 4,900
container vessels must meet the
2016 BWT deadline.
“There can be a serious bottleneck when shipowners

that year – an average of 45 systems per day. “We are facing a
very strong demand in the next
months, but the big question is
whether the supply side will be
able to handle future BWT system demand,” Sanner said.
Optimarin recently signed a
major fleet-wide retrofit ballast
agreement treatment contract
with Saga Shipholding for NOK
100 million and celebrated a
second contract, valued at approximately NOK 25 million,
with Evergreen Marine Corp
for ten newbuild container
ships. Total Evergreen contracts
with Optimarin stand at nearly
NOK 70 million.
The company’s current order

orders. In all, some 180 typeapproved Optimarin Ballast
Systems (OBS) have been sold

installed on ships around the
world. scramble to meet global BWT
regulations in a few years’ time.
With the US Coast Guard now
pushing its own ballast water
regulation, global shipowners
must ramp up their BWT decision-making processes,” Sanner said. If all shipowners plan
a BWT retrofit during a vessel’s
five-year survey, about 11,000
retrofits will have to be completed between 2013 and 2016.
Market observers estimate a
peak in 2017, with 16,500 vessels needing to be retrofitted
Fach said. The main propulsion will be provided by a 900
kW diesel engine powering a
pitch propeller that brings the
boat to respectable speeds of
up to 18 kn.
The first trials are expected to
be conducted this autumn, at
which time interested parties
can have a closer look at the
