INSIDE TODAY’S ISSUE

Two problems have plagued the workboat industry in the Gulf

of Mexico (GOM) in the last few years. One was the booming shale play onshore in the U.S. The second, a consequence of the first, has been low oil and gas prices that made it hard, and often impossible, to make the eco-nomics work for workboat owners.

However, oil prices have been slowly rising from its $26-bbl. low in February. On Nov. 15, WTI crude closed at $45.85. That price is not high enough to restart the GOM.

John Hess, chief executive of Hess Corporation, said in a talk at the Oil & Money conference in London in Oc-tober that restarting longer-cycle activity in the deepwa-ter GOM requires oil prices in the $60- to $80-bbl. range. Given this scenario, oil prices that are sufficient to restart GOM deepwater activity seem unlikely in the next couple of years.

This hasn’t gone unnoticed by work-boat owners or analysts. “We are in for another tough year for the offshore in-dustry,” IHS Energy-Petrodata marine analyst Richard Sanchez said. “In the U.S.-Gulf, OSV owners have squeezed their operating costs as much as pos-sible, and don’t believe they can shrink their margins any further. Day rates are very low for new charters, with little to no margin for the vessel owners. OSV resale values are also very low, but very few sale prices have been disclosed.”

According to the October issue of IHS Energy’s Offshore Marine Monthly, “re-ductions in rig activity continue to grind

down base demand for offshore supply vessels in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.” Out of 32 contracted floating drilling rigs, only 22 have been working. There are five jackups under contract, but only three are working, according to Offshore Marine Monthly. Platform rigs, mean-while, are down to three active units out of 19 under term charter.

The report noted that in September, “the total supply of vessels in the U.S. Gulf swelled by 10 as three AHTSes and seven PSVs returned from jobs abroad.”

According to the IHS report, out of the 410 vessels of all sizes in the GOM, 108 are working on term contract and 84 are employed in the spot market. Most of those 192 vessels are working at signifi-cantly reduced day rates. quarter.

Former Navy SEALs Jocko Willink and Leif Babin will deliver the open-

ing keynote address, “How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win,” at today’s Inter-national WorkBoat Show.

Leadership is a fundamental cor-nerstone of any successful business. Through their experiences in the Navy, Willink and Babin will deliver riveting Navy SEAL combat stories with practi-cal leadership concepts and principles. This dynamic duo will dive deep into

the concept of ex-treme ownership and how leaders in any capacity can utilize combat leadership tactics

to dominate on their own battlefields, lead and win. This presentation will inspire any organization and its people both professionally and personally to become more effective leaders.

Tomorrow, naval architect Mark Masor of Gibbs & Cox Inc. and Tom Czekanski, senior curator and restora-tion manager at the National WW II Museum, will discuss the museum’s PT-305 restoration project. In 2017, the mu-seum plans to operate PT-305 on Lake Pontchartrain where visitors can experi-ence the boat as Navy sailors once did.

The presentation will highlight the unique aspects of the project and dis-cuss challenges in restoring PT-305 to a Coast Guard-inspected passen-ger vessel.

The WorkBoat Annual Confer-ence kicks off this morning and runs through Friday. The conference is di-vided into five concurrent tracks: Legal and Regulatory, Business Manage-ment, Technical, Safety and Work-force. Sessions in-clude autonomous vessels, improving shipbuilding safe-ty, hybrid power opportunities in the offshore energy sector, LNG train-ing, maritime cybersecurity, Subchapter M compliance, and repurposing stacked OSVs.

Today and tomorrow, the show is open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Friday.

Final Sub M towing vessel inspection rule is released

The Coast Guard-in-dustry joint effort for safer towing vessels

and the removal of their un-inspected label culminated with the June release of the final Subchapter M rule.

At last count by the Coast Guard, 5,719 previously un-inspected vessels officially came under the new regime on July 20 — 3,905 of those in the Coast Guard’s Ninth District and the Western Riv-ers. But there is still a two-year phase-in until July 20, 2018, to comply with most of the final rule. It will be fully in place by 2022.

A Coast Guard update noted that 274 issues and questions on the new rule were being resolved.

Topping the list is how the Coast Guard will interpret definitions of “major conversion” and “replacement in kind” for existing vessels. It was an immedi-ate concern for operators who were wor-ried that upgrading existing towing ves-sels with new, more efficient and cleaner engines could kick them into a category with newbuild boats, when vessels with keels laid after July 20, 2017, will be subject to more stringent requirements.

“There are things still in flux with Sub-chapter M,” said Scott Kuhaneck, tow-ing vessel program manager in the Coast Guard’s Office of Commercial Vessel Compliance. But repowering will not be a problem for operators, because under longstanding policy most of those will not rise to the level of major conversions, Kuhaneck said.

Those determinations will be made on a case-by-case basis by the Coast Guard Marine Safety Center. Upgrading engines for better fuel efficiency, environmental compliance, and alternative fuel use are not normally considered major conver-sions, according to the Coast Guard.

That position is based on the 35-year-old Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular 10-81 which recognized that “it is costly and impractical to require exist-ing vessels to be modified each time a safety standard is updated.”

A major selling point of the new rule is Subchapter M’s flexible options for han-dling inspections. Operators can request Coast Guard inspections, use approved in-house safety management programs and surveys, or engage approved third-party inspection consultants.

The Coast Guard, classification so-cieties, consultants and others who will handle surveys and safety management are discussing what will be expected of them. — Kirk Moore

There is a two-year phase-in to comply with most of the final rule.

BAE Systems

BAE Systems is bringing hybrid ma-rine solutions to the water, helping

operators save fuel, decrease emissions all while lowering the vessel’s operation-al cost.

Visit BAE at the show to learn more about its ecofriendly HybriGen power and propulsion system most often used for ferries and service vessels. HybriGen uses a variable speed, hybrid genset to deliver clean, efficient, reliable power-on-demand to support either propulsion or auxiliary power (or both simultane-ously). BAE’S Hybrid Assist system is sought out by tug and assist operators. It uses HybriDrive system components, which are operating on 7,000 transit buses around the world, to drive a vessel electrically at low speeds and can assist the main engine when a high-end boost is required.

Hybrid Assist reduces fuel consump-

tion when the system’s electric motor does the work, and with main engine hours lowered, a vessel’s operating costs are decreased. HybriGen Zero is used for inland towboat and fishing fleets because it eliminates the need for conventional diesel generators, it pulls power-on-de-mand from the main engine for auxiliary power preventing under-loading of the engine and saves fuel.

Cummins teams up with Seacor Marine on first QSK95 marine installation

Cummins Inc., a leading manufactur-er of diesel engines and generator

sets for the marine industry, recently de-livered the first four QSK95 engines for a marine application. Four additional units will be delivered in December.

The engines were delivered to long-time Cummins partner Seacor Marine for installation in a 187’ catamaran crewboat designed by Incat Crowther.

“We are extremely excited to be work-ing with Seacor Marine to launch the first QSK95 marine engines,” said Jim Schacht, executive director, marine mar-ket, Cummins Inc. “We leveraged all the experience and best technologies Cum-mins has to offer to design the QSK95 marine engine, which will deliver in-creased power and reliability, fast tran-sient response and simple serviceability.”

Two 187’ crewboats will be built, each powered by four QSK95 marine engines each rated at 4,000 hp (2983 kW) at 1,700 rpm, matched to Twin Disc MGX-62500SC-H marine transmissions and quad HT-810 waterjets from Hamilton Jet. The pack-age will give the crewboats a maximum speed of 40 knots.

The two forward engines will run Ja-son FiFi 1 class pumps off the front of the engine. Cummins is also providing aux-iliary power. Each vessel will have two QSM11-powered generator sets rated at 290 kW each, as well as a fully enclosed QSM11-powered deck generator rated at 270 kW.  The crewboats, the Puma and Panther, will be built at Astilleros Armon Burela, S.A., Burela, Spain. The first boat is expected to enter service in April 2017, followed by the second in July 2017. 

“Our 20-plus-year relationship with Cummins coupled with the latest in high-speed diesel engine technology were im-portant factors in Seacor’s decision to se-

lect Cummins to power our latest vessels, Puma and Panther,” said Robert Clem-ons, vice president, Seacor Marine. “We are confident we can rely on the Cum-mins team and the QSK95 throughout the life of these engines, and we are excited by the increased value the launch of these vessels will bring to our customers.”

Compared to medium-speed en-gines offering similar power output, the QSK95 offers the benefits of smaller size, lower weight and better transient response while delivering a new level of serviceability. With IMO Tier II-certified ratings from 3,200 hp to 4,200 hp (2,386-3,132 kW), the QSK95 provides 95 liters of displacement in a 78-liter package. Nested cylinders and a 60-degree V en-able a short, narrow engine block relative to other engines of comparable displace-ment. In addition, the QSK95 weighs just over 13,000 kg (28,660 lb), about 25% to 70% less than medium-speed platforms of similar power output.

As operators continue to seek better vessel maneuverability, the QSK95 de-livers faster transient response through a unique turbo arrangement and a dry ex-haust system.

New Duramax DryMax shaft seal systems engineered for optimum sealing performance

The DryMax seal from Duramax Marine is a robust, environmentally-

friendly, water-lubricated stern tube seal system. Engineered to accommodate the most axial and radial shaft movement of any shaft seal design while eliminating wear on the shaft.

  If keeps seawater out of your vessel and your bilge dry. The DryMax seal has an engineered nitrile rubber seal ring that rotates with the shaft and creates a hy-drodynamic seal when running against the DuraChrome mating ring.

 As a result of a long term R&D proj-ect, the materials chosen in the construc-tion of the seal were engineered to work synergistically providing optimal sealing and long wear life in the harshest condi-tions. Extensive testing and field trials were conducted in both clean and dirty brownwater conditions.

 DryMax is easy to maintain. An

inflatable seal is built into the housing allowing seal inspection and primary seal ring replacement at sea without dry docking.

The DryMax Du-raChrome mating ring is reversible and give twice the life extending dry dock intervals. Drymax is ideal for operating in both brownwater and blue water, and accommodates shaft sizes and stern tubes up to 36”.

ABS expands its comprehensive cyber certification and optional notations

As the number of connected onboard systems expands, the safety and se-

curity of these systems becomes increas-ingly important.

ABS has responded to this challenge by developing the first comprehensive cybersecurity certification and optional notations for marine and offshore assets and facilities.

This unique approach to cybersafety charts a new path, delivering wider and deeper classification services as technol-ogy evolves and becomes more sophis-ticated, reaching far beyond compliance and directly to asset and facility security.

The ABS CyberSafety program pro-vides the only actionable guidance for addressing and assessing cyber-enabled systems that emphasize human, systems and environmental safety.

New volume releases and revisions in the ABS CyberSafety series include:

Volume 1 – Guidance Notes on the Ap-plication of Cybersecurity Principles to Marine and Offshore Operations (revised and expanded)

Volume 2 – Guide for Cybersecurity Implementation for the Marine and Off-shore Industries

Volume 3 – Guidance Notes on Data Integrity for Marine and Offshore Opera-tions

Volume 4 – Guide for Software Sys-tems Verification

Volume 5 – Guidance Notes on Soft-ware Provider Conformity Program

ABS established the ABS CyberSafe-ty laboratory earlier this year and has staffed it with a team of global cyber experts to expand the safety scope and verify cybersystems that look beyond physical asset safety.

3 system has been introduced for the commercial shipping market. The new type-approved radar solution is ideal for use aboard CAT 3 SOLAS vessels, work-boats, tugs and coastal fishing boats. Its 12-kilowatt X-Band transceiver and 6-foot open array scanner are designed for rugged reliability and low mainte-nance.

Built around a next generation digi-tal processing user interface, the R3016 12U/6X IMO SOLAS CAT3 radar sys-tem features enhanced target tracking capabilities, extremely clear target defi-nition and advanced automated tuning controls, delivering a powerful solution in a compact package. The R3016 con-trol unit has an integrated keypad and rotary control dial with direct-access but-ton, which ensures no-nonsense reliable control of on-screen menus, even in the toughest conditions.

“The new R3016 12U/6X IMO SO-LAS CAT 3 radar system brings together our latest radar and display technology,” said Jose Herrero, managing director, Simrad Commercial Division. “Our team of engineers continually strive to develop innovations that simplify the user experi-ence, improve operational performance, and reduce training time and costs for our commercial clients. With this new unit, we have done all of this and more.”

The R3016 system offers an innovative level of simplicity in system design and integration. Installation costs are reduced

with easily routed Ethernet cabling and a compact, bulkhead-mounted power sup-ply unit. The R3016 includes a compact control unit with a 1366x768-pixel, high-definition, 15.6” diagonal widescreen display. It features a 180-mm highly de-tailed radar plan position indicator (PPI) that allows ample space for additional vessel data, radar settings and target tracking information. The R3016 control unit incorporates the display, controls and processor in a single integrated sys-tem – very important for smaller vessels with limited space, as it requires no bulky additional PC processor. The control unit conforms to IPX7 water-resistance stan-dards; in addition, the 12U/6X antenna is designed for maximum reliability, driven by a brushless motor, robust mechanical gearbox and a transceiver with a long-life magnetron.

The R3016 12U/6X IMO SOLAS CAT3 system was introduced in June 2016. For more information on the new R3016 12U/6X IMO SOLAS CAT3 ra-dar systems or the complete line of Sim-rad-branded professional marine elec-tronics, please visit www.navico.com/commercial.

Conrad Deepwater South expansion continues

Conrad Shipyard is continuing to invest in equipment and facilities

upgrades at each of its five Louisiana and Texas shipyards. Its newest facility, Deepwater South located in Amelia, La., is currently undergoing a significant ex-pansion with a wide range of capital im-provements.

The most recent improvement is its new panel line building that went online in July. The facility is equipped with an automated welding system that allows precise welding of 10’x40’ plates in a single pass, a stiffener fitting gantry to automate the fit-up of stiffeners on the panels, and an 8-headed automated stiff-ener welder. The combination of these systems with other CNC ship manufac-turing equipment will allow the shipyard to process 350 tons of steel per week.

In the planning and engineering stages is a combination fabrication and assem-bly building that will allow for the indoor construction of hull modules without weather restrictions. These improve-ments to the 52-acre Deepwater South facility will allow increased throughput and better efficiency as Conrad contin-

ues to deliver larger, more sophisticated oceangoing vessels and barges. The Deepwater South capital investment is another example of Conrad Shipyard’s 69-year history as a leader in innovation — embracing new technology to deliver quality vessels at lower costs.

The 76,000-sq.-ft. panel line building is equipped with a host of sophisticated equipment to improve efficiency and lower costs.

Jensen Maritime designs new fireboat exemplifying the company’s evolution

Seattle-based  Jensen Maritime re-cently designed the city of San Fran-

cisco’s latest fireboat, exemplifying the evolution and growth of the naval ar-chitecture and marine engineering firm since it was acquired by Crowley Mari-time Corp. in 2008.

“Eight years ago I’m not sure this proj-ect would have been in our sweet spot,” said Johan Sperling, vice president of Crowley’s marine solutions group, which includes Jensen. “But Crowley has made a considerable effort to give us all the tools we need to expand into new areas. And our team, which has grown from 21 employees in Seattle to 85 employees with additional offices in Jacksonville,

Houston and New Orleans, is leverag-ing those resources and collective exper-tise to perform larger and more complex projects with outstanding outcomes that benefit our customers like the San Fran-cisco Fire Department.”

San Francisco’s Fireboat 3, recently named one of the 10 Significant Boats of 2016 by WorkBoat magazine, is designed and engineered to meet the highest stan-dards for performance and public safety thanks to Jensen’s talented naval archi-tects and engineers and industry leading, computer-aided-design programs. In ad-dition, Jensen is able to leverage Crow-ley’s knowledge as a vessel operator to design vessels for clients that are extraor-dinary to operate.

Marine Travelift Inc. has announced the delivery of its 200CII mobile

boat hoist to the Pacific Marine Center in Anacortes, Wash.

Pacific Marine Center is a full service boatyard handling commercial fishing boats, tugs, and pleasure craft.

There were two major goals Pacific Marine Center wanted to accomplish with the purchase of the new 200CII boat hoist, according to Dave Marshall, sales manager at Kendrick Equipment, the certified Marine Travelift distributor for the Northwest. “The customer wanted to penetrate new markets and attract an entirely new class of boat to Anacortes,” Marshall said. “With the Marine Trav-elift mobile boat hoist they can pick full capacity with the slings in any position, allowing them to target the shorter and heavier fishing boats they haven’t been able to haul in the past. Expanding their capabilities and targeting these specific size fishing boats is also allowing Pacific Marine Center to accomplishing a sec-ond goal of theirs.

“Another goal they had was to build a fishing vessel repair business in Ana-cortes, a gateway to the Pacific Ocean,” said Marshall. “The new mobile boat hoist will allow them to service a strong fleet of commercial vessels that operate throughout Alaska, Canada and the San Juans.”

The new 200CII mobile boat hoist is a major component for Pacific Marine

Center to accomplish their goals but there were also challenges with the yard itself. The boat hoist needed to navigate a slope between the two yards at Pacific Marine Center, which has an incline greater than what a standard mobile boat hoist can handle, and had to work faster while staying fuel efficient. Marine Travelift’s team worked closely with Kendrick Equipment and the Pacific Marine Cen-ter team to customize a boat hoist that would meet all the customer’s needs. The result is a very specific 200-ton capacity hoist with upgraded drives to handle the slope, dual range hoist speeds for faster more efficient work, and automatic vari-able throttle to keep fuel consumption at a minimum. As a bonus, the package se-lected also included radio remote control with load readout right at the operator’s fingertips.

“The upgraded drives allow the cus-tomer to maximize their use of the boat hoist,” explained Marshall. “And the dual range hoist speed is essential for efficien-cy, especially with the twenty foot fluc-tuations in tide they experience.”

The new Marine Travelift 200CII mo-bile boat hoist will allow Pacific Ma-rine Center to maximize efficiency and achieve the goals they have set forth. Fishing vessels and pleasure craft own-ers alike in the Pacific Northwest will be able to share in the benefits and the new boat hoist will help Pacific Marine Cen-ter with their mission to “foster lasting

relationships with every customer.”For more information about Marine

Travelift and its full range of mobile boat hoists, call (920) 743-6202, e-mail sales@marinetravelift.com or visit www.marinet-ravelift.com. You can also follow them on Facebook and LinkedIn to get the latest news and updates.

The world’s first mobile boat hoist was conceptualized and manufactured in Stur-geon Bay, Wis., in 1945. Officially established in 1954, Marine Travelift has a long-standing reputation as a marine industry leader and is recognized for its tradition of excellence on a global scale. The company manufactures mobile boat hoists, marine forklifts, self-propelled transporters and other related marine lifting products.

ABS NS Vessel Performance software helps improve efficiency

Owners and operators of tugs and off-shore support vessels continue to

face challenges in a competitive shipping market.

ABS Nautical Systems (NS) Vessel Performance software was designed to help these companies leverage the power of big data by bringing together data col-lected during operations with cutting-edge performance evaluations to improve efficiency.

A growing area of concern for the ma-rine industry is the ability to understand the vast amounts of data collected during operations and to develop practical ac-tion items to improve safety, operations and compliance. By integrating the NS data collection tools with ABS efficiency and performance services, clients can bridge the gap between big data and real-world improvements more quickly and effectively.

The ABS NS Vessel Performance soft-ware enables operators to capture vessel performance data from multiple sources, including manual or auto-logged input, and deliver consolidated data for deci-sion support and regulatory reporting.

By combining dedicated service delivery with a robust software platform, the NS Vessel Performance solution eliminates duplicated data entry, which enables the ship to report performance and environ-mental data only once to both operations and technical management staff.

To learn more about NS software solu-tions, visit ABS at booth 2132.

Business intelligence capabilities are accessible through any module and are launched in a web environment. (Image courtesy of ABS Nautical Systems)
