INNOVATIVE OSVs REQUIRE SMART REGULATORY THINKING
Scandinavia and North Europe arehome to some of the world’sbiggest fleets and a vibrantshipbuilding industry. Both arefront runners in adapting LNG as a fuel and diversification intosophisticated vessels such asdeepwater OSVs. Bureau Veritas is investing in technical resourceswhich are close to the owners,yards and consultants becauseowners in Norway, Sweden,Denmark and Estonia have allchosen BV to help them withnewbuilding and conversions ofvessels fuelled by LNG. They makethat choice because of BV’s worldleading experience with LNG in amarine environment. And asshipyards and consultants diversifyin vessel types and clients they alsochoose BV, because of our speed ofresponse and our deep experience.Nor-Shipping showcases the highquality services and equipmentwhich are a key part of the world’smost complete maritime cluster.Bureau Veritas is right at the heartof that, close to every yard,consultant and owner and in everyship type. Talk to us to find out howwe can help you move forward [email protected]

Four new Handysize vessels La Sillonais, La Solognais, La Chambordais and La Sauternais were named in March atChina’s Tianjin Xingang Shipbuilding Heavy Industry. They are sisters to a series of six similar ships built to BV classfor Louis Dreyfus Armateurs (LDA). These new ships wereordered by LDAP, a joint-venture between LDA, FFP and BankParis Bertrand Sturdza (PBS). [email protected]

The cargo capacity is increased by 3,000 dwt whilefuel consumption is reduced by ten per cent. The design lengthis 4 m smaller than Kamsarmax bulkers, allowing access tomore ports. [email protected]
PANAMAX EFFICIENCY GAINS
Innovation is at the heart of the OSV industry. Withoil and gas exploration and production moving intodeeper waters and harsher environments, safety,reliability and operational efficiency are paramount.OSVs have risen to the challenge to support thesedevelopments and have become the mostsophisticated and versatile vessels around.Despite the current market many offshore projectsare already in an advanced stage, while frontierprojects will require high-spec OSVs. Consequently,there is continuing demand for innovative vessels,as confirmed by new orders for multipurpose vesselsequipped for subsea lifting and diving support inharsh conditions, including ice and cold climate. But there is a strong drive for rationalization. Costoverruns are fairly common in the offshore industry.The question is whether things can be done smarterand more efficiently, focusing on simplicity andreliability rather than on complexity and redundancy.In order for it to work, innovation in vessel andequipment design needs to be supported byregulations open to new ideas and technology. Tothat end, Bureau Veritas continues to develop itsstandards and is an active contributor to internationalregulatory development, whereby cross-industry co-operation and harmonisation are the keywords. In 2014, Bureau Veritas released new rules foranchor handling and towing vessels, diving supportvessels, vessels engaged in offshore lifting, offshore
handling equipment and wind farm support vessels.Technical co-operation with industry stakeholdersand incorporation of state-of-the-art industrystandards form important pillars of the regulatorydevelopment strategy, which follows an open andpragmatic approach. New developments includerules for diving systems, pipe-laying vessels andmotion compensated offshore access and transfersystems for industrial personnel.At IMO level, Bureau Veritas experts are participatingin amending the Intact Stability Code to includeanchor handling, towing and lifting, and in thedevelopment of the International OSV ChemicalCode, the IGF Code for gas-fuelled ships and thePolar Code. Within IACS, Bureau Veritas is actively contributingto the development of LNG bunkering guidelines andto a practical methodology to identify the safetycriticality of complex onboard software systems toassess their reliability and dependability.Whereas prescriptive regulations have proven theirefficiency for regulating proven technologies andconcepts, goal-based regulations making use ofrisk assessment methodologies are becomingincreasingly important for the qualification of newtechnologies. The future will effectively be a mix,allowing for standardisation and efficiency wherepossible and a specific risk-based approach wherenecessary. BV delivers regulatory innovation.

DEEP UNDERWATER CONSTRUCTION
The short-sea transport of refined oil products andchemicals is a demanding niche. “It’s challenging,”says Kjell Olav Haugland, Managing Director, BergenTankers AS. “But if you focus on creating tailoredtonnage and on safe and efficient operations then youcan make a business.”
Kjell Olav is the second generation of his family to runBergen Tankers. He sailed on the ships before steppingup to the top job and says he still takes a turn out onthe ships when he can. “I cover when Master has to goon leave,” he explains. “It keeps me in touch with theships.”
Bergen Tankers operates four small product tankersand two bunker vessels in the demanding environmentof the Baltic and Scandinavian coasts. “Of course wehave a very high focus on safety and the environment,”says Kjell Olav. “And we have demanding customers.That’s why we put a lot into making sure the ships aretailored to the job. For example we design our own shipsand build in a high level of redundancy, with doublepropulsion. Right now we are focussing on reducing airemissions. We have fitted catalytic scrubbers to two
vessels and we have the Bergen Viking in the yard fora full conversion to LNG fuel.”
Kjell Olav explains that when his company go into amajor project such as an LNG conversion they want towork with partners and service providers with provenreliability and who can deliver what is promised on time.“We like to be ahead as a company but we don’t like tobe the first to try new things,” he says. “So in this casethe experience of Bureau Veritas with LNG fuel wascrucial. We changed the class of the vessel for thisconversion and BV was able to give us comfort and trustthat the project would be safe, on time and would deliverwhat we wanted – a clean, safe and efficient vessel.”
On delivery in early June the Bergen Viking will tradeall-round the coast of Norway. Kjell Olav says theavailability of LNG as bunkers is not an issue on thattrade. “We are looking forward to getting the ship intoservice,” he says. “We have had good co-operation withBV, they did all the risk studies that were needed andthe technical side is going well. It’s a good process.”

BV has published new shaft alignment requirements in NR 592.
The Rule Note provides specific requirements and methodologyfor shaft alignment assessment onboard large ships includingguidelines for calculations in view of hull deflection, aft steelworkelasticity, oil film behavior and shaft bearing stiffness. This NR isparticularly intended for large ships which may experiencesignificant hull deformation due to their loading conditions.
Strong growth from modern ships in service being moved into BV class has driven the classed fleet above 11,000 ships. As of April 2015 BV’s classed fleet was 11,010 vessels totalling 105,518,300 gt. These included over 1,000 bulkers, over 1,000 tankers, over 500 passenger ships, almost 500 container ships, over 240 gas carriers and a very large fleet of sophisticated offshore vessels and units.

TAILORING TONNAGE FOR A DEMANDING NICHE
Shipowners ordering new ships today want the option of switchingto LNG fuel in the future. Bureau Veritas has stepped up to providea new notation – GAS PREPARED – for new ships designed withspecific arrangements to accommodate the future installation of anLNG fuel gas system supplying the propulsion and /or powergeneration plants. It provides guidance on the scope of the workrequired to all parties at the newbuilding stage.
The GAS PREPARED notation will be granted to ships with an initialdesign which takes into account the spaces necessary for the maincomponents of the LNG fuel gas system, such as LNG storage tanks,LNG bunkering station, fuel gas handling system and vent mast,provided that the requirements for segregation and access aresatisfied. The notation may be completed with the following options:“S” when local structural reinforcements are fitted in way of thetanks; “P” when provisions are made for the routing of LNG andgas piping; “ME-DF” when the main engine(s) is (are) of the dual-fueltype; “AEB” when the auxiliary engines and oil-fired boilers are ofthe dual-fuel type or designed for future conversion to dual [email protected]
