Need an azipod? They are ship propulsors driven by electric motors, mounted external to the hull. The entire motor azimuths. This allows you to develop maximum thrust in any direction and offers great vessel maneuverability. ABB offers azipods in several different sizes

Products

Taken from ABB Website:

The improved fuel efficiency of the Azipod propulsion is based on the optimum water flow to the propellers due to pulling propellers. Compared to the normal shaft line vessel the improvement in hydrodynamic efficiency can be up to 15 % depending on the application.

Due to azimuthing thruster principle the Azipod vessel has an excellent manoeuvrability characteristics. This improves the vessel safety but as well minimizes the harbour manoeuvring time and can in some cases may eliminate the need of harbour tug assistance.

The azimuthing electric propulsion has proved to be the most efficient propulsion system in ice breakers. Further with Azipod it is possible to build ice going cargo vessels, which can operate without ice breaker assistance.

Azipod propulsion is based on electric propulsion concept where generator sets can be freely located to the vessel. Further many systems inside the ship hull (propulsion motors, long shaftlines,stern thrusters and rudders) are not needed. This gives a lot of freedom to the ship design and construction. Space can be saved inside the vessel which can be used for extra payload or even may make it possible to build a smaller ship. From shipbuilding poit of view a lot of installation hours can be saved due to simpler construction.

Azipod product family includes the following products

– Azipod CO: Open water applications up to 4.5 MW

– Azipod XO: Open water applications up to 20 MW

– Azipod CZ: Thruster unit for high thrust applications, 4.5 MW

– Azipod VI: Ice going ship applications for different ice classes

– Azipod XC: Azipod for Contra Rotating applications

Beacon Finland makes the JAK coupling system for articulated tug barges (ATB). The coupler allows pitch degree of freedom and can connect at different draft levels between barge and tug.

From company website:

The JAK® ATB Coupling System of Beacon Finland is invented and developed especially for use on Articulated Tug Barge (ATB) systems. It is a modern innovation with significant advantages with regard to space, weight and cost.

The original invention was made in 1991. Since then, Beacon Finland has continued to develop it into a very competitive product for the ATB market.

The basic idea of the invention was to improve the existing connection devices between the tug and the barge in the ATB-system with the aim of a lightweight, safe, simple and cost effective coupling. The JAK®-ATB Coupling System solved the conventional problems and fulfilled the basic targets more than well.

Products

The main product is the JAK coupling.

From company website:

The JAK®-ATB Coupling System is a pneumatically actuated electrically controlled articulated tug-barge connecting system. The coupling action is controlled from a control panel on the vessel’s bridge or/and from the local control panel in the coupler unit compartment.

The efficiency and the reasonable cost of the coupling device are based on its simple construction. There are also several other benefits of this system, e.g.:

Cost efficient due to simple construction and installation

Environmentally friendly due to pneumatic operation and lubrication with environmental friendly oil

Ease of operation due to simple control and less need and ease of maintenance

No on-deck equipment and little space demand under deck

Small power demand as the power consumption is only 5kW. The system utilizes the existing power and compressed air supply of the tug. (24V DC supply & compressed air (425 psi) supply)

Carlsen provides equipment and engineering services for bulk material handling. Cement, sand, and even grains. Carlsen has the equipment to efficiently and safely unload it.

Products

Carlsen offers a variety of different systems for bulk cargo handling. Which system to select can depend on many things: efficiency, the specific cargo to handle, safety. Carlsen representatives can help you select the best system for your purposes. All text taken from Carlsen website. (http://www.carlsengroup.com)

Double Reloader System

The D.R. (Double Reloader) system consists of two tanks that alternate between being filled by vacuum and emptied by pressure. When the first reloader tank is full, the vacuum valve closes, and the vacuum valve to the second tank open. The second tank is then filled while at the same time the first tank is emptied to recieving silos by means of compressed air. In this way a nearly continous conveying process is achieved.

Screw Conveyor System

The Carlsen mechanical system uses screw conveyors for vertical conveying and airslides or horizontal screw conveyors for horizontal converying The holds are equipped with fluidized bottoms. The material flows from the fluidized bottom through a flow control gate into a vertical screw converyor. From the vertical screw conveyor on deck to the centre of the ship. The material is conveyed on shore either by a mechanical unloading boom or by a pneumatic pressure system.

Cathelco provides impressed current systems to prevent corrosion of hull plating, pipework antifouling, and a variety of other products.

Products

The following description comes from Cathelco’s website (http://www.cathelco.com)

Cathelco are world leading designers and manufacturers of equipment for ships and offshore installations.

Their product range includes marine pipework anti-fouling (AF) systems and impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems to safeguard the hulls of commercial and naval vessels against corrosion. Cathelco Seafresh specialises in the production of reverse osmosis desalinators (watermakers) for yachts, commercial and naval vessels.The offshore energy sector continues to gain in importance

Cathelco supply AF and ICCP systems for offshore platforms, semi-submersibles, FPSOs and FSOs. In the renewable energy market they have developed advanced ICCP systems to protect monopile, jacket and tripod offshore wind turbines.

After considerable research and development, Cathelco are planning to launch a unique ballast water treatment (BWT) system in 2013 based on a combination of filtration and UV sterilisation.

Cathelco are represented globally through a network of agent/installers.

Impressed Cathodic Current Protection

Although modern hull coatings provide some protection against corrosion they do not offer a complete solution. For this reason, most operators choose to protect their vessels with a purpose designed impressed current cathodic protection system.

Using an arrangement of hull mounted anodes and reference cells connected to a control panel(s), the system produces a more powerful external current to suppress the natural electro-chemical activity on the wetted surface of the hull.

This eliminates the formation of aggressive corrosion cells on the surface of plates and avoids the problems which can exist where dissimilar metals are introduced through welding or brought into proximity by other components such as propellers.

An essential feature of ICCP systems is that they constantly monitor the electrical potential at the seawater/hull interface and carefully adjust the output to the anodes in relation to this. Therefore, the system is much more effective and reliable than sacrificial anode systems where the level of protection is unknown and uncontrollable.

This post specifically focuses on a material called Aptiform, by NetComposites. Aptiform provides a different type of structural composite material. Aptiform uses self-reinforced plastics. The major advantage is that these composites are recyclable, unlike many traditional composite materials.

Products

Product description, from Aptiform website:

The Aptiform moulding process has been specifically developed for the efficient manufacture of components from self-reinforced plastics, based on the results of extensive development work undertaken by NetComposites in collaboration with leading industrial companies and universities.

The unique forming process allows OEMs to benefit from the light weight, recyclability, high impact performance and low cost offered by self-reinforced plastics – a family of materials with both fibre and matrix made from the same polymer. These materials offer a unique balance of properties and cost, particularly suited to radio transparencies and ballistic components.

The family of materials includes self-reinforced polypropylene and PET, with developments currently being made in polyamides and polyethylene. Specific strength and stiffness are approximately equal to glass-reinforced polymers, whilst properties such as impact performance and radio-transparency far exceed conventional materials.

We’re currently involved in component manufacture and product development in aerospace, defence, personal protective equipment, leisure craft, luggage and low volume automotive. The material benefits exploited by these sectors are radar/radio transparency, high impact performance/ballistic properties, weight and recyclability.

The Aptiform moulding technique is based on the results of extensive development work undertaken in collaboration with customers and materials suppliers, and there are only a handful of companies worldwide that have the ability to form this family of materials.

Aptiform is a brand of NetComposites.
