Recente overnames, fusies, nieuwe samenwerkingsverbanden en het faillissement van Hanjin hebben volgens het Financieel Dagblad geleid tot een vervoerskrapte op, met name, de Europa-Azië diensten. Ondernemers die naar Azië exporteren klagen steen en been over lange wachttijden en omhoogschietende vervoersprijzen : https://fd.nl/economie-politiek/1190495 ... ersprijzen.

The Werkendam is being built by Neptune in Hardinxveld-Giessendam, the Netherlands. It will take about twelve months to build the crane vessel. After completion, the vessel will be able to run on LNG, with gas oil as backup. With a 38 m3 tank on the aft deck, the Werkendam will be able to store enough LNG on board to sail and operate for fourteen days without bunkering LNG.

Thanks to smart features, the vessel will use less fuel and emit less CO2 without compromising operational production. The Werkendam will be equipped with various sensors and energy storage systems. The sensors will monitor the energy consumption of almost all of the equipment and systems on board, which will even make it possible to store and reuse overcapacity, for example when operating the crane. The data produced by these monitoring systems will provide crew members with an insight into energy consumption, enabling them to respond appropriately.

“Energy efficiency is one of the top items on our sustainability agenda. To reduce our carbon footprint, we are researching the use of alternative fuels, such as LNG and biofuel. With this investment, we will be gaining experience of LNG-powered vessels and the related benefits”, said Jaap de Jong, Staff Director of the Ship Management Department at Van Oord.

Specifications:

Length: 68.40 m
Breadth overall: 11.40 m
Hopper capacity: 700 m3
Propulsion: 2 x 550 kW
Bow thruster: 450 kW
LNG-powered generator: 3 x 475 kW
LNG tank: 1 x 38 m3
Spud poles: 2 x, electric-powered
Crane:
Type: four-rope grab crane
Lifting capacity: 20 t at 20 m and 25 t at 16 m

DAMEN Secures Order With FORTESCUE Metals Group For Six ART 85-32W Rotor Tugs

To support Second Towage Licence for the Port of Port Hedland
Pilbara Marine Pty Ltd (Pilbara Marine), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fortescue Metals Group Ltd (Fortescue) has placed an order with Damen Shipyards for the building of six, 32 metre Rotor Tugs. These will be deployed at the company’s operations at Port Hedland on Australia’s west coast, the world’s largest bulk export port. From there, Fortescue exports 165-170 million tonnes of iron ore per year.

The six tugs are of the ART 85-32W class, designed by Robert Allan Ltd. Their Rotor®Tug propulsion system features three azimuth thrusters; two forward and one aft. Together these deliver the full 85 tonnes of bollard pull over both the bow and the stern, and 65% from amidships. The Rotor®Tug system delivers additional benefits regarding manoeuvrability, braking, and engine and winch redundancy. The W notation refers to the increased beam of these designs, providing additional stability during escorting operations conducted regularly at Port Hedland.

In May 2016 Pilbara Marine was awarded a second towage license by Pilbara Ports Authority for the port of Port Hedland and the new ART 85-32W rotor tugs will enable it to offer long-term, sustainable towage services.

The six Rotor Tugs will be built at Damen’s Song Cam Shipyard in Vietnam. The first two are scheduled for delivery ex-yard by the end of October 2018, with the remaining four due in early 2019.

“Damen, as a world leader in the design and construction of tugboats, has been very successful in Australia for many years. This project underlines again that Damen listens carefully to our customers’ needs and that they value our superior quality vessels built for competitive prices, along with our technical expertise and after sales services. These factors have proven the difference in the success of this project,” says Vincent Maes, Area Sales Manager.

Rebecca Hayward, Legal Manager Strategic Contracts / Developments at Fortescue Metals Group, added: “After reviewing the market, Damen was an obvious choice because of its global reputation for outstanding quality leading to lower running costs, as well as its proven track record of delivering vessels on time, within budget. We are confident that our full operational requirements will be met by the new ART 85-32W design and are heartened by the fact that Damen will provide long term support here in Western Australia.”

Panama Canal Sets Daily Tonnage Record in February

With this new daily tonnage record, February is the third consecutive record-breaking month for the Panama Canal.

In February 2017, the Panama Canal set a new daily tonnage record of 1.18 million Panama Canal tons (PC/UMS) after welcoming a total of 1,180 vessels through both the Expanded and original locks. The previous record was established the month prior in January 2017 when the Canal recorded a daily tonnage average of 1.16 PC/UMS.

With this achievement, February is the third-consecutive record-breaking month for the Panama Canal. In December 2016 and January 2017, the waterway set monthly tonnage records after transiting 35.4 million PC/UMS and 36.1 million PC/UMS, respectively.

“These records are evidence of the maritime industry’s growing adoption of the Expanded Canal,” said Panama Canal Administrator Jorge L. Quijano. “As the new lane continues to reshape global maritime trade and its true impact becomes more and more apparent, we will continue to offer new growth opportunities to our customers and cargo destinations around the world.”

Eight months since the Inauguration, approximately 850 Neopanamax vessels have transited the new locks, and 53% of cargo transiting the waterway in container ships are using the Expanded Canal. In addition, 11 new liner services have been rerouted to take advantage of the economies of scale the Canal offers. As the impact of the Expansion becomes more evident, this number is expected to increase.

Further, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels, as well as bulk carriers, tankers and vehicle carriers have transited the Expanded Canal since it was operational in June 2016. And in April 2017, the first Neopanamax cruise ship, capable of carrying up to 4,000 passengers, will transit the new locks.

More Space for big Ships in Hamburg: Project to Redesign the Vorhafen Harbour Basin En-trance completed

More manoeuvring space for big ships, faster berth assignment and improved safety of navigation: Well within the schedule, both in terms of time and money, the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) Tuesday officially completed the project “Redesigning the Entrance to the Vorhafen Harbour Basin”.

The widened Vorhafen basin access benefits both container shipping and cruise shipping. For one, the tidal (time) windows available to inbound and outbound ships are longer now and the manoeuvring space for big ships in the Tollerort area has increased. For two, it is now possible for cruise ships with a beam of 40 metres (formerly 32.3 metres) to berth at the Cruise Center Altona. Moreover, additional waiting berths for feeders can later be provided, which will help reduce vessel movements in this highly frequented section of the port.

The Vorhafen harbour basin is the approach to the cargo terminals in Steinwerder. Its location along the main current of the Norderelbe combined with the former river bank geometries had created river current conditions that only allowed ships with a maximum width of 370 metres to enter and leave the basin. The now completed widening project permits the passage of vessels with a beam of up to 400 metres.

“The widened Vorhafen basin entrance has made vessel traffic management more efficient, easier to plan and safer,” says Jens Meier, Chairman of the Management Board of the HPA, and adds, “With the now optimised waterside access we have added another important piece to the port’s infrastructure that will further increase the competitive edge of the Port of Hamburg and benefit both container shipping and cruise shipping.”

Frank Horch, Hamburg Minister for Economic Affairs, Transport and Innovation explains, “We are developing the port with an eye on the future, and the infrastructure must be upgraded and expanded accordingly. This project is another milestone in the development of the port. Shipping companies and terminal operators will benefit in particular.”

The project comprised three major construction phases:

The soil of a four-hectare large site at the Tollerort tip was removed to create more water surface area. Part of the excavated material was used to backfill what was left of the Kohlenschiffhafen harbour basin, thus creating additional areas for the Containerterminal Tollerort (CTT) and the Köhlbrandhöft sewage plant. The remaining soil was temporarily stored at the adjacent Kuhwerder Terminal for use in future port development and other infrastructure projects.
On the northern Tollerort river banks new foreshore structures were built. An about 250-metre-long quay wall starts at the north-eastern corner of the Tollerort tip and turns into a roughly 350-metre-long embankment line in the western section. The already existing quay wall at the northern end of the Europakai was reinforced by an about 90-metre-long foreshore quay wall.
To reinforce the existing all-round quay wall at Lotsenhöft, a roughly 160-metre-long quay wall structure was built in front of it.
Due to the above measures ships can now manoeuvre in a space with a diameter of 450 metres, berth assignment has become more flexible and the safety of navigation in the Tollerort area has improved.

Niet echt Aktueel Scheepvaart Nieuws, maar dit komt wel vaker voor....

De storm was al dagen van tevoren aangekondigd. Waarom de kapitein besloot om toch verder te varen, is niet duidelijk.

Ik dacht eerst dat dit over de El Faro ging. Wellicht hadden beide gezagvoerders vroeger dezelfde zeevaartschool bezocht?

TOCH is het antwoord op deze vraag in principe heeeel eenvoudig en ook redelijk snel uit te dokteren met een klein schuiflatje ( tegenwoordig hebben "ze" daar kennelijk electrische zak-rekenmachientjes voor :mrgreen:hebben "ze" me verteld :
Bij TE laat aankomen, i.e. NIET op schema varen, staan er 4500 passagiers ( oftewel de volgende boeking voor het schip) met hun tassie op de kaai te schreeuwen van "waaaar is mijn boot" ( de moffen zijn daar al wat aan tegemoet gekomen, die noemen enkele van hun met voornamelijk vol met Duitsers passagiers schepen " Mein SChiff" :roll: :mrgreen: EN die pruttelende toekomstige passagiers moeten dan " ergens gaan eten en ergens gaan pitten" allemaal op kosten van die rederij!!
Vervolgens staan er dan - na TE late aankomst van " Mein Schiff"- pak weg 4500 passagiers ( oftewel de passagiers die AAN boord zijn en vrijwel zeker er allemaal AF gaan) op diezelfde kade EN een groot percentage heeft hun vlucht naar huis gemist EN moeten DUS niet alleen een andere vlucht boeken met alle bijkomende probleempies en kosten EN ergens eten EN ergens pitten, allemaal op kosten van de rederij........PLUS " voor het ongemak en om kankerende passagiers die zich van storrumpies en dat soort neuzelige zaken geen ene moer aantrekken" PLUS om kankerende passagiers ietwat tevreden te stellen en NIET als als eventuele toekomstige hopelijk terugkerende cruiseklant te verliezen!! worden er dan " vouchers uitgedeeld" tel dit sommetje bij elkaar op in Amerikaanse begonia's EN je wordt gelijk mooi "wit om de neus" EN het wordt dan ONMIDDELLIJK heeeel erg duidelijk waarom die Kapitein dan eventjes stug door blijft kachelen.......hij heeft dus helemaal geen zin om AL die donderse rotvragen van de boekhouders te be-antwoorden zo van " Hoe kan DAT nou Kapitein"??? er mot deze reis flink geld BIJ!! :roll: ( Gemakshalve ga ik er maar eventjes NIET verder in op AL het gelazer met vertragingen voor de bunkerboot- die ook nog TIG andere pretbakkies moet bunkeren!!- de scheepsdief die met zijn zgn. kersverse en gekoelde handel op diezelfde kade staat te kankeren en "as de bliksum" naar een ander " Mein SChiff" mot en AL die andere zaaakies die er spelen als zo'n drijvend flatgebouw met balkonnetjes voor de kaai komt.Dit soort eventuele vertragingen in stekkies zoals Fort Lauderdale, waar op iedere gegeven dag "tig" van die bakkies voor de kant liggen en/of komen en gaan heeft " verregaande ripple effecten" door het hele systeem, inclusief de taxi's en andere " kaai related $$$$$ bisnis" :lol:
MVG HGH.

Nou zijn het wel errug grote patrijspoorten....meer condorpoorten...en ik heb bij groen water voor de ramen meer vertrouwen in staal dan in glas...
Maar ik ben ook nog niet bepaald onder de indruk....
Nou ja: als dit vanuit een hutje boven het sloependek, of vanuit het panorama-dek bovenop de stuurhut, of gewoon vanuit de uitkijkpost in de voormast, is genomen, verandert dat de zaak (én mijn indruk) wél een klein beetje, natuurlijk... :lol:
