[maritimecyprus]

(http://www.MaritimeCyprus.com) ABB enters new market segment with order to install Azipod® electric propulsion on board two dry bulk carriers from Germany’s largest bulk carrier company Oldendorff Carriers.

Two self-unloading dry cargo transshipment units will be the first bulk carriers in the industry to feature ABB’s Azipod® electric propulsion. Both vessels, due for delivery to Oldendorff Carriers in 2021 from the Chengxi Shipyard in China, will be equipped with a complete power and propulsion solution from ABB.

Each 21,500 DWT vessel will feature two 1.9MW Azipod® units. ABB will also supply a wide range of electric, digital and connected solutions, including main diesel-electric power plant, generators, bow thruster motors, transformers, switchboards and the power management system for propulsion and cargo handling.

“The choice of Azipod® electric propulsion system has reduced the investment costs dramatically as the vessels are already equipped with high power generation required for self-unloading/loading cargo handling,” says Jan Henneberg, Newbuilding Manager, Oldendorff Carriers. “These shuttle vessels must perform reliably over an extended period at maximum efficiency, and need to be especially maneuverable in shallow waters.”

Controlling a fleet of around 700 ships, Oldendorff Carriers is Germany’s largest operator of bulk carriers. Around 95% of Oldendorff’s owned fleet is comprised of ‘eco’ newbuilds delivered since 2014, which are specifically designed for low fuel consumption and reduced carbon footprint.

“This is a significant breakthrough for Azipod® propulsion, reaching a ship type that some suggested would always remain closed to podded propulsion,” says Juha Koskela, Managing Director, ABB Marine & Ports. “We are especially pleased to add Oldendorff Carriers as an Azipod® propulsion reference, considering its reputation for building and operating high quality, reliable and environmentally-friendly ships.”

The newbuild vessels are developed by Shanghai-based CS Marine design company together with Oldendorff Carriers. The self-loading vessels will be able to unload cargo utilizing a built-in conveyor system and without the need for assistance from shoreside equipment or personnel. Oldendorff Carriers will deploy the vessels for transshipment operations – transfer of cargo offshore from oceangoing vessels before delivery to the final destination.

Once in operation, the vessels will be among over 1,000 ships connected to ABB Ability™ Collaborative Operation Centers worldwide from where ABB experts monitor operational shipboard systems and offer 24/7 remote support. The vessels will leverage the ABB Ability™ Remote Diagnostic System, which deploys sensor-driven onboard monitoring software that fully integrates with analytics ashore.

Today, the global bulk carrier fleet comprises over 11,000 vessels, and, according to shipping association BIMCO, is projected to grow by 3.1% in 2019. The association estimates a total of over 400 newbuild bulk carriers scheduled to be delivered for launch this year. Global seaborne dry bulk trade is projected to reach 5.3 billion tons in 2019, according to shipping intelligence provider Clarksons Research.

The Azipod® propulsion system, where the electric drive motor is in a submerged pod outside the ship hull, can rotate 360 degrees to increase maneuverability and operating efficiency, as well as maximize cargo space on board. Over the course of close to three decades, ABB has supplied Azipod® units for about 25 vessel types, with the propulsion system accumulating more than 15 million running hours in total.

The World’s Largest Cruise Ship : Symphony of the Seas

 The Oasis class is a class of Royal Caribbean International cruise ships which are the world's largest passenger ships. The first two ships in the class, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, were delivered respectively in 2009 and 2010 by STX Europe Turku Shipyard, Finland. A third Oasis class vessel, Harmony of the Seas, was delivered in 2016 built by STX France, and a fourth vessel, MS Symphony of the Seas, has just been completed in March 2018. One additional unnamed ship is currently under construction and is expected to be delivered in 2021. The first two ships in the class Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas are slightly exceeded in size by the third ship Harmony of the Seas, while the Symphony of the Seas is the worlds largest cruise ship with the fifth ship planned to be larger than the Symphony of the seas.

The Oasis-class ships surpassed the earlier Freedom-class ships as the world's largest and longest passenger ships. Oasis also is 8.5 metres (28 ft) wider, and with a gross tonnage of 225,282, is almost 45% larger. Oasis-class vessels can carry over 5,400 passengers. Oasis-class ships feature a split structure, with the 5-deck high "Central Park" and "Boardwalk" outdoor areas running down the middle of the ship. These areas feature lush tropical gardens, upscale restaurants, shops, and a working carousel.

To keep the ship stable without increasing the draft excessively, the designers created a wide hull. About 30 feet (9 m) of the ship sits beneath the water, a small percentage of the ship's overall height. Wide, shallow ships such as this tend to be "snappy", meaning that they can snap back upright after a wave has passed, which can be uncomfortable. This effect, however, is mitigated by the vessel's large size. The cruise ship's officers were pleased with the ship's stability and performance during the transatlantic crossing, when the vessel, in order to allow finishing work to go on, slowed and changed course in the face of winds "almost up to hurricane force" and seas in excess of 40 feet (12 m).

The ship's power comes from six medium speed marine diesel generating sets: three 16-cylinder Wärtsilä 16V46D common rail engines producing 18,860 kilowatts (25,290 hp) each and three similar 12-cylinder Wärtsilä 12V46D engines producing 13,860 kilowatts (18,590 hp) each. The fuel consumption of the main engines at full power is 1,377 US gallons (5,210 l; 1,147 imp gal) of fuel oil per engine per hour for the 16-cylinder engines and 1,033 US gallons (3,910 l; 860 imp gal) per engine per hour for the 12-cylinder engines. The total output of these prime movers, some 97,020 kilowatts (130,110 hp), is converted to electricity, used in hotel power for operation of the lights, elevators, electronics, galleys, water treatment plant, and all of the other systems used on the operation of the vessel, as well as propulsion. Propulsion is provided by three 20,000-kilowatt (26,800 hp) Azipods, ABB's brand of electric azimuth thrusters. These pods, suspended under the stern, contain electric motors driving 20-foot (6 m) propellers. Because they are rotatable, no rudders are needed to steer the ship. Docking is assisted by four 5,500-kilowatt (7,380 hp) transverse bow thrusters.

The First Entry...

The ship I served on the longest; Arcadia; is a diesel electric ship with Azipod propulsion. Occasionally you have to do entries into them for routine inspections and maintenance. It’s never anything serious by we used to do an entry into both azipods every month, or an entry every 2 weeks.

These are classed as enclosed spaces so they need a lot of permits to work; including enclosed space permit and high voltage electrical isolation permit; then once it is safe and everyone is happy then people can go in and have a look.

The thing with an azipod, everything you takenin must come back out. If you accidentally leave something in there you could seriously damage the electrics inside the azipod and then damage the ships propulsion.

The first time I went into an azipod I was getting a handover from the guy who was currently doing the role. My god it was a tight fit. I’m not a small guy, not chlaustropbobic but I do have issues with tight spaces I can’t easily get out of and that is not an easy space to get out of; and with the only ventilation being the fan you’ve got at the top of the unit to keep you with good fresh air it gets hot. It might not have helped that we were in the Mediterranean in the middle of summer and the sea temperature was something like 28 degrees centigrade. It was not a very pleasant experience.

There is also the small thing where you have to climb down three decks in that space that’s only just as wide as you are. I’m not a major fan of heights in the first place but there were times where you’re suspended by just your arms with your legs hanging below you and your feet aren’t on anything; and there’s a load of sensors in there that if you break them you can’t use the azipod so lose propulsion.

However, it was fascinating. You see the prop shafts on a ship with conventional shafts and rudders and it’s all fairly large and easy to get to, but it’s amazing how much you can cut out just by suspending it all underneath the ship! Yes I wasn’t a fan of going in and out of them but by using azipods you get better manoevering and smaller machinery spaces.

I can’t even count how many times I’ve been in and out of those azipods now. I know I don’t like enclosed spaces I can’t easily get it of or heights but you know what? There have been times that I’ve actually missed doing the pod entries.

M/S Viking Glory with its advanced solutions and technical innovations will become the world’s most climate smart passenger ships. 10% less fuel will be consumed by the ship than the M/S Viking Grace that is smaller and was called the most eco friendly vessel of that time.

Viking Glory will be the first ship that will have Warsila 31DF dual fuel engines that can use the latest technology and can run on totally sulphur free liquefied natural gas. It will be launched in 2021.

Viking Glory like the Viking Grace will be able to run on biogas after it is a fuel that can be used as an alternative in the future.

“Viking Glory will have six 31DF engines for efficient optimisation of fuel consumption. These engines have the lowest fuel consumption, but at the same time, the highest cylinder output in their segment (550 kW/cylinder),” explains Project Manager Kari Granberg, who is in charge of the new construction at Viking Line.

Viking Glory will be the world’s first to recover the waste cold from LNG usage and then recycle it for the use in cold counters, cold rooms and other special rooms.

“Today, recovery of waste heat is already common, but to recycle waste cold for the purposes of refrigeration appliances and cold rooms is an innovative and highly climate-smart solution. Viking Line has carried out development work in collaboration with Wärtsilä, Projektia and Deltamarin,” Granberg continues.

Viking Glory will also have a Climeon energy recycling system that can harness and convert the waste heat into electricity from the engines. 40% of the electricity that is required by the passenger functions can be generated from the system. The dynamic air conditioning and the lighting system that will be installed onboard will have a direct impact on the consumption of energy. It will be controlled by the booking system.

The Azipod propulsion unit that is developed by ABB is used in a passenger ship for the first time which helps in saving time and energy by means of ship manoeuvring: this system thus helps in making turns in the ports faster and a hull design that provides 8% less water resistance that a traditional propeller system.

“Viking Line endeavours to be a forerunner of responsible navigation, and this goal is reflected in the design and construction of our new ships. Those technological innovations we are now testing and developing jointly with our Nordic partners constitute the foundation for the novel cruise experiences through the archipelago,” says Gustaf Eklund, who is Head of Development at Viking Line and in charge of developing the concept for the new ship.
