Panagiotis Nikolaou My name is Panagiotis Nikolaou; friends usually call me Pani. My dream: to turn the world around, make it smaller and put it in the pocket. As you set out for Ithaca hope that your journey is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery.

to teach the different modules. “Expertise at its best”, I thought when I saw the background of all those people, that have directly been selectively taken from the industry to share their knowledge with us. The second part of my excitement was the fact that the course was in South Korea, therefore, an “end of the planet” I have never been before and have always had an interest on. Not more or less than any other culture, but I had a strong feeling this was my chance to build on my international experience on the way to building on my next career path was taking on a whole new adventure. I went through the whole year coming up with a thesis subject basically every week. That’s how intriguing was the whole experience. Nevertheless, I decided to do something that I knew well how, on a relatively new yet exciting subject, that of LNG as a fuel for shipping. The title: Making LNG a marketable brand for shipping propulsion; a strategic study that seeks to bridge interests, reduce uncertainty and promote the use of LNG in shipping. The course itself had included a vast amount of technical information, which have helped me grasp the mechanics of an LNG engine and understand what would be on focus from potential customers. The main objective of the thesis was to analyse the needs of the industry, along with developments and gaps in the regulatory and technological contexts that led in finding out links that would create synergies rather than inconveniencies and excessive investments. Rather a framework could be created in order for the shift to occur swiftly and without any heavy implications for any of the involved sectors, especially in the international economic environment that does not currently favour spending, especially under the lack of a fixed regulatory context. I am a very motivated and career driven individual with desire and ambition to succeed, grow and develop and currently seeking for an opportunity to gain experience and evolve in the shipping sector. Furthermore, I am eager to share my enthusiasm in a challenging position where I could prove that dreams are fought for and won over. Needless to say that all this enthusiasm and excitement derives from the country itself, as the Netherlands for me is a small country with the guts of a enormously big and a modest mindset even though it has long history of adventures and experiences to share with the world. Last but not least, what makes me identify with this country is that came from the sea and it stubbornly holds back, in some cases, some 7 metres below sea water.

C.P. Cavafis (1863 – 1933) And I set out with a luggage filled with dreams to this voyage more than a decade ago. A trip to finding Ithaca. Life has been an adventure and I am really grateful for this. It has been a constant learning curve which steepens on a daily basis. What I have enjoyed more along the way? The enormous cultural experience that slowly shaped my personality over the years. I have started with a mindset and acquired other on the way. It is very unique to live abroad and be able to adapt to the local community so well, to the extent that you become part of it. As a restless spirit I marched across and along the heights and depths and lived in 6 different countries, including Greece, Germany, the UK, Spain, Canada, South Korea, currently living and seeking to settle down in the Netherlands my 7th country. Different places, different reasons that “drove” me there. The last has been my adventure with the Netherlands Maritime University and the greatest STC Group family, and it has been in a quest to reconnect back to my roots and into the world of the sea. My father has been a sailor ever since he was 15 years old and he taught me to love the sea. Actually, I knew all of the world’s capitals by heart and talked to friends as if I have been there myself. I never cared much about the seamonsters, my stories had nothing to do with them, even though I later realised what the sea-monster connotation actually meant. For me there was just the sea and numerous dots on a map. Nevertheless, I decided to study Marketing and was enthusiastic about this new role that I had decided to take upon. Worked in sales for many years until I realised that Ithaca was calling me back. And then one day I came across the NMU and immediately started inquiring about the course. I had just missed the application period for the Rotterdam course, thankfully, and I was asked if I wanted to join the South Korean course instead. The South Korean branch offers basically a copy of the course in Rotterdam in all senses, as it involves this unique selling preposition: professors where being flown from the Netherlands in order

Another substantial enlargement of the Management Facilities Group (MFG) Fleet MFG has seen her fleet grow considerably during the last quarter of 2012 due to the arrival of no less than five oil/chemicals tankers. The tankers will come under the complete management of the dynamic shipping company, Marin Ship Management, a division of the Management Facilities Group. The tankers will sail under the Dutch flag and their home port will be Delfzijl.

tankers with the possibility of more in the near future. It is not a matter of course for MFG to enter into a new customer relationship but a careful process, as we think it is important that our vision and working principles correspond with those of the customer. As a result of the coming of these five tankers MFG is going to increase the number of employees by 150 seafarers. The number of employees in the office at Farmsum is also going to increase by five. MFG’s ambition to grow is gaining form and even after this increase in personnel the company will still be looking continuously for qualified seafaring personnel and new employees for a position ashore.

Three of the five tankers belong to the Swedish Thun Group, a trusted business partner with whom MFG have been doing business for decades and for whom they already have ten oil/chemicals tankers and seven multi-purpose vessels in management. In addition Thun wants to invest more in the smaller tanker sector (up to 10,000 dwt) and has reached an agreement with Broström on the purchase of the remaining 50% of the shares, making Thun the legal owner of this tanker group. It will keep the fleet together and partly in consequence of this Thun will intensify the cooperation with MFG even further. MFG have already proved that they have the qualities and the expertise in house as an independent fleet manager to consolidate their market position in the tanker segment.

Another aspect that MFG would like to emphasise is that the new tankers will sail under the Dutch flag. That is both good for the economy and for the image of the Dutch maritime sector. In addition it hardly needs saying that MFG is also making a good contribution to the Northern economy. In this way they also managed to arrange that the Swedish Thun Group has again ordered two new (multi-purpose) vessels from the Ferus Smit Shipyard. These ships, with building numbers 415 and 416, will be handed over in phases during 2013 and pending the final takeover will be handed over to MFG.

The good results that MFG have booked have not passed unnoticed, because new customers have also found their way to the company. Thus an agreement was reached recently with a new Russian customer; Silverburn Shipping IOM Ltd. This company has appointed MFG as new fleet manager for two of her chemicals


MFG has faith in their prospects and is continuing to work on a bright future on the basis of these excellent business results.

The Marine Club Rotterdam The Port of Rotterdam, the largest in the world in the 70’s of the last century, consists of a variety of companies: Shipping, stevedoring, logistics (transportation in all kind of means, road, rail, pipe-lines, inland shipping,air-related), warehousing, forwarding, petro- en chemical industries and all those activityies related to these such as banking, insurance and the like.

Line cruise vessel, located in one of the older ports of Rotterdam, is our home base since a couple of years. Informal gatherings, most of the time with an important guest-speaker, is the basic-idea when the Maritime industry of Rotterdam meet each other. Some say its is the place to be and meet to learn but also to do business, while the character remains: informal, no lobby, no collective statements but the prosperity of those who work and do business in the Rotterdam Port-related industry. Next to the monthly lunches, we visit new developments in the port area and the new years reception and the yearly Herring-party are famous events. To become member one has to be invited by three members and the executive board decides basically on the criteria as mentioned. In 2014 we hope to celebrate the 40-st aniversary!

In 1974 commercial activities still took place mainly vis-a-vis and the related men (and a few women) were usual to meat each other at all kind of occasions and at a variety of locations. Management and board members of a couple of port-related maritime companies use to meet each other in those days weekly in the Hilton Hotel in Rotterdam: this was the start of what the Marine Club Rotterdam is today. Members of the Marine Club Rotterdam are board and management executives of companies related to the Rotterdam maritime industry, almost 300 today.

The Rhine Journey - The boy and girl story Hello my name is

Anouk Hoekstra and my name is

Ramses Boerman.

We are two students from the Maritime Academy Harlingen. On 12-November-2012 we left from Nijmegen with 26 students on board. We divided the jobs on the ship between the students. There was 5 students in each group, the jobs was, bridge service, deck, galley service, engine room work. The first evening we sat anchor in Duisburg. The second evening we will stay in Keulen. The third evening Koblenz. And fourth and last night in Spellen we was of anchor. Our jobs on board were working in the engine room, deck control, cooking, deck clean, painting, an studying for our exams. Each day we had different jobs on the ship. After eating the warm meal, we changes jobs from what we did in the afternoon. On the way back home we travel at a speed of 22 km per hour. It was a very special trip with a lot of beautiful surroundings and cities. In Keulen & Koblenz we were allowed to leave the ship, the girls was together with the boys from the ship. There was clearly in advance agreement made about what time we had to be back on the ship. In Keulen we Young Maritime International

set off very early in the morning it was around 04:30. We had to help you to with raising the anchor. Till 5 o’clock you was busy with your work on deck. In the evening the whole kitchen was an scrub cleaned and the galley had to be cleaned also. What did we like about this week?

Anouk: This was second time I went on this trip. But if was still a very good learning week for me. There beautiful surroundings and a lot good friends an board to help to enjoy this trip. It was a relaxing and educational trip for me. Ramses: I’ve learned a lot about the Rhine how he originated and how important a discovery of cures can be for all residents along the Rhine. The 2 cities were very nice to see and the Dom was also found very nice. I’ve enjoyed and found it also very relaxing. 7

“CALAMITY WHEN VAN VOLLENHOVEN COMES BY” Prof. Mr Pieter van Vollenhoven lectures on safety and independent investigation “Independent investigation goes to my heart”. These were the first words of Professor Mr van Vollenhoven, during a lecture on safety on 14 November 2012 in the Lloydzaal of the STC. He spoke these words with a gasp and a big smile. “I have a bad voice, so that is the reason for the emotional sound of it. Should this lecture not live up to your expectations, you can complain with the ‘Havenvereniging’. They hired me. I’m already covering myself, that’s what they call risk management.”

happens because of economic considerations. This is of course not good, but it is sometimes understandable. I would like to say, if the government legislation and private rules are not right, adjust them. I don’t strive for 0% risks, but we have to critically consider our own responsibility.” To date, Pieter van Vollenhoven has been dealing with the subject of safety for 22 years. ‘His’ Safety Board exists since 2005 and that is, according to him, a wonder.

With this introduction, Mr van Vollenhoven, founder of the Dutch Safety Board, immediately grabbed the attention, while at the same time linking to the main topic of his lecture. In an amusing but serious manner he underlined: “Citizens have a right to the truth. Independent investigation is of great importance and belongs to a democratic society. Of course safety is a task of the government, but companies and individuals are often also partly responsible. The fact that there is often ambiguity on the self-responsibility is worrying. Safety is often fragmented, but it is nothing more than risk management. Which risks do we want to control? Who is responsible? That needs to be clear. This all needs to be communicated internally and then reviewed within the own organisation”.

“No one was looking forward to the creation of this Board, but I was determined and not least because I had been involved with sports for the handicapped. It got to me that 65 per cent of the young people who had become handicapped, were so because of a traffic accident.” “Was it worth it, you probably wonder”, the professor continues. “When a serious accident happens these days, the initial attention focuses on the victim. After that, we review what exactly happened and who was responsible. Independent investigation is the only kind of investigation that exactly finds out what happened and what we can learn from that”.

Van Vollenhoven often sees that companies don’t comply with their own safety regulations. “This usually

With many examples of among others the national railways, Chemie Pack, Turkish Airlines and a fire in an operation room, Mr van Vollenhoven explained the difficulties that the Board encounters time and again. “From the very beginning, everything is always denied. You get used to that, but it still surprises you. Organisations are never looking forward to see the Safety Board. Of course it is being appreciated, but nevertheless all parties want to take off the sharp edges.” With a big smile he concludes: “A gas leak is an incident, but becomes a calamity when Van Vollenhoven comes by!”

Cost Efficiency of Diesel-Electric Propulsion on ABIS D-type Vessels Backgrounds In a world where technical and technological innovations follow each other with ever increasing speed, technicians have to display a great degree of understanding and anticipation when it comes to their professional environment. This means that the capability to conduct research and background studies on a system gains importance over their mere knowledge of how to operate the system. For this reason, the Maritime Institute de Ruyter, Vlissingen (the Netherlands), has installed a course called Sustainable Short Sea Shipping. During this course, students tackle a problem that was brought to them by a company, thus sharpening their research skills and technical knowledge, as well as providing a valuable answer for the company involved. The research described in this article was conducted in this context. ABIS Shipping company presented some questions concerning the propulsion of their vessels to four technical students: Huub Beeren, Cedric De Brauwere, Levien Faasse and Lode Huijgens, all four currently in their final year of study.

One of the vessels of the D-series, ABIS DOVER, built 2012 direct current (DC), as opposed to the widely spread Alternating Current (AC). The DC-setup allows for some specific advantages such as easier engine governing (no synchronizing necessary), power buffer created by capacitors, high redundancy, power recovery from propellers, and such. However, the economic consequences of a DC-installation are not yet entirely clear. For this reason, ABIS requested a research focused on the profitability of the propulsion units on board the D-type vessels. In other words, the main question can be summarized as follows: is the current setup really the most profitable diesel-electric propulsion system?

The Client and his Goal In the last few years, the expanding need for sustainable energy has given rise to the construction of wind turbine farms in the North Sea. To provide the offshore services necessary for these construction works, in 2007 ABIS Shipping was founded at Harlingen, the Netherlands. Apart from the wind turbine business, the vessels can be used for many other kinds of project cargo; oil rig parts and general cargo may be loaded as well. This ensures a higher cargo availability, optimizing the profitability of the vessels. Due to the wide variety of cargo types, conditions and environments, the ABIS crews are assured of a challenging and particularly rewarding job. This job however also calls for a versatile vessel: not only will the ships have to sail the seas as ordinary cargo ships, they will also have to cooperate with other vessels while building structures at open sea. This requires a high degree of maneuverability, and the ability to independently maintain a fixed position, commonly called Dynamic Positioning (DP). Another important factor considered during the design of the vessels is, of course, cost efficiency. Competition is played on a high level in this business, and companies must offer secure and timely solutions at the lowest possible prices in order to remain afloat. ABIS Shipping is aiming to deliver world-class services at highly competitive rates, without sacrificing on environmental sustainability and crew comfort. Such aspirations call for innovatory technologies.

Fuel Efficiency Research First of all, ABIS desired to get a clear view of the fuel economy. For this reason, a research was started in February 2012, comparing the overall fuel efficiency of four different configurations proposed by ABIS Shipping. These configurations could be described in short as: - The present configuration: six small engines, a DC-rail and Fixed Pitch Propellers (FPP) - Configuration 2: six small engines, an AC-rail and FPP - Configuration 3: six small engines, an AC-rail and Controllable Pitch Propellers (CPP) - Configuration 4: two small and two larger medium speed engines, AC-rail and FPP (Refer to the last page for schematic representations of the first and the fourth configuration.) At the end of the research, the conclusion was drawn that, when sailing at high loads, the last option would be the most efficient in terms of fuel efficiency. As mentioned, this configuration would make use of two larger engines supplemented by two Scania machines as used in the original setup. While underway, the vessel would draw its power from the two medium-speed engines, with the small engines only being used for DP operations and hotel load.

Power Installation To accomplish a reliable DP-system and a sufficient degree of maneuverability, ABIS has chosen to install diesel-electric units on board its latest vessels, the D-series. Many vessels nowadays have a diesel-electric propulsion system, however the vessels newly built by ABIS make use of Young Maritime International

12

It turned out that the larger engine’s lower specific fuel consumption at high loads made for a remarkable difference. However, it became clear that the difference in efficiency drops with decreasing loads. At speeds below 8 knots, the medium-speed AC-setup offers only a marginal advantage. Under some circumstances, efficiency may very well drop below the efficiency achieved by the six-engine setup as rapid load switching between high and medium speed engines is not desirable. This fact should be kept in mind very well, as the D-type vessels will often perform under varying load conditions. Other than that, many factors other than fuel efficiency determine the profitability and usefulness of the propulsion system, as will be dealt with later on. Apart from the conclusions mentioned above, the report led to a better understanding of where the main losses of the propulsion train are located, and some minor recommendations could be done regarding improvement of the fuel efficiency of the current DC-configuration.

sion plant. On certain grounds, one might conclude that the present configuration is inferior to an AC-system with medium speed engines. It is important to mention though that the DC-setup as currently installed offers many specific advantages. As has been already mentioned earlier, the DC-setup makes use of a large amount of capacitors. This enables short term power storage, which compensates for power surges that may occur especially when operating in DP-mode. Moreover, efficiency may be enhanced in the future by allowing the Scania engines to run at variable speeds, ensuring that they can always run at their optimal speeds. Such a provision has not been made yet on board the D-series, but this may be done in the future as the DC-rail has no issues with unsynchronized power supplies. The proposed AC-rail would not offer this possibility. Other than that, harmonic interferences present on the AC-grid are eliminated by the frequency converters installed on the DC-option. This results in a very stable electric supply to the electric motors. Finally the question raises on whether the medium-speed engines offer the same reaction time as the high-speed engines. This becomes especially important since the medium-speed configuration features no capacitors, so all power will have to be supplied by the engines directly. This is an issue of major importance as the vessels will spend considerable time in DP-mode, where quick and short thrusts must be developed. Additional advantages of the DC-setup could be mentioned, but the point should be clear: there’s a lot more to it than efficiency and maintenance costs, and these factors may tip the balance to the side of the DC-setup.

Maintenance Cost Research Even though fuel costs account for a major part of equipment expenditures, fuel efficiency however is not the only issue of importance. In September 2012, a second research was ordered by ABIS Shipping, the goal this time being to provide an indication of maintenance costs of both the current setup and the fourth setup (using the medium-speed engines). To accomplish this, a basic engine room layout for the fourth option is drawn. In the meantime, companies supplying engine room equipment are contacted in order to obtain spare part costs and maintenance schedules. Finally, the costs of both the original setup and the MAK setup will be evaluated and compared. Currently, this research is still being conducted and no detailed results have yet been achieved, conclusions are due January 2013.

From what is mentioned above, the conclusion can be drawn that it will be necessary to conduct additional research regarding capital expenditures, reliability and redundancy, reaction time and other relevant subjects, to be able to make a sound decision regarding diesel-electric propulsion for vessels comparable to the ABIS D-series. On the next page, simplified diagrams of the two described propulsion setups can be seen, as to provide a quick overview of the differences between the two.

SERENA After graduating from ROC Zadkine in Rotterdam in July 2012, I have been searching for a job for one month, and posted my CV on the internet. After that month, Ned Marine Services’ Mr Monster invited me for an interview and gave me the opportunity to work as a secretary. After two interviews I got the job and now, after three months I’m still working for Ned Marine.

Making a Maritime Match Young Maritime International is a magazine that is digitally published twice a month. The aim of the magazine is to give young people in the maritime sector a chance to publish their personal projects, innovative ideas and designs, or graduation projects. The magazine is meant for youth and students in the maritime sector, maritime businesses, educational institutes, business schools, governmental institutes, and other interested parties. The theme of this special edition is making a maritime match. Making a match between young people and experienced professionals in the maritime sector is key to successful business development and innovation. The articles in this magazine are all examples of people working in the maritime sector and committed to making a maritime match.


I had no knowledge of the Shipping Industry and I never had the idea to work in this branch. The first weeks I have tried to learn as much as possible about Ned Marine, such as our products and our services as NDT, Hatch Tightness Testing and Ultrasonic Thickness Measurements and tried to enlarge my ship knowledge. In the second week I joint the SMM exhibition in Hamburg, where the knowledge of our company was necessary. This experience has made me even more interested into the work I do. Personally, I do have something to shipping. Ever since my childhood, I am a big fan of the ‘Titanic’. My dream is also making a wonderful cruise. Quite recently, we have installed our Ultrasonic antifouling system (USAF system) on a Disney Cruise ship. As a big fan of Disney and with my dream of making a cruise, this was obviously a great experience this first hand to qualify. 15

This makes the event more attractive to students, starters and professionals with a maritime and offshore focus, and is therefore an exceptional opportunity for companies to profile themselves, strengthen their brand and is it one

The Navingo Maritime & Offshore Career Event is the only career event in the Netherlands that recognizes all sectors of the maritime industry. The event gives visitors the opportunity to look around, familiarize themselves, experience and gain information about the various jobs currently on offer in the maritime and offshore sectors. As industry associations will be present as well, job seekers can get a clear and comprehensive understanding of the various industries. Also, attention is paid to all educations levels, which makes the event, along with the complete presence of maritime and offshore industries a total package for visitors and exhibitors alike. Both schools and training institutes will be on hand to show visitors that maritime jobs offer retraining possibilities. The entrance for visitors is free. As in previous years, the day will end with a maritime network reception, where exhibitors and visitors together can discuss the day and share their experiences.

SNUFFELSTAGE VAN MARK POPKEN (15 jaar) van maandag 12 november tot en met vrijdag 23 november 2012

MERWELANDS Jachtbouw Rotterdam B.V. en K.R.V.E. (Koninklijke Roeiers Vereeniging EENDRACHT) beiden gevestigd op de Heijplaat (Rotterdam) Ik zit op het Gemini college te Lekkerkerk. Als opleiding heb ik SDV gekozen, omdat dat ten eerste moest van school als je van de 2de klas naar de 3de klas gaat. En ten tweede is het beter voor mijn vervolgopleiding. Dan ga ik namelijk naar het Scheepvaart- en Transport College in Rotterdam. Door bemiddeling van Gerrit van den Burg van de K.R.V.E. mocht ik mijn snuffelstage doen bij Merwelands Jachtbouw en de Roeiers van de K.R.V.E. Beide bedrijven zijn nl. verbonden met elkaar. Bij Merwelands worden de nieuwe boten gebouwd en de gehele vloot van de K.R.V.E. onderhouden, ook voor andere roeiersbedrijven, nationaal en internationaal. Momenteel ligt daar o.a. op de helling de loodsboot Draco voor onderhoud. Daar ben ik als eerste begonnen met mijn snuffelstage. Ik mocht daar buizen en staal zagen. Aftekenen van buizen om deze vervolgens te kunnen zagen. Dat heb ik de verdere dag gedaan. Dit precisiewerk vond ik heel mooi en interessant. Verder heb ik ook het binnenste van de olie opslagtanks van de loodsboot Draco moeten schoonmaken. Het was leuk, maar ook zwaar werk, omdat het kleine en krappe ruimten zijn. Ook heb ik drie dagen


meegelopen op de K.R.V.E. post Scheurhaven, op de Landtong Rozenburg. Daar wordt o.a. ook onderhoud gepleegd aan boten van de K.R.V.E. Toen ik daar kwam lag daar de K.R.V.E. 59 voor reparatie. Er waren problemen met de turbo. Deze turbo moest eruit gehaald worden en is toen schoongemaakt door mij en een collega en daarna weer terug geplaatst. Verder ging er een alarmlampje branden als het water te hoog staat in de voorpiek van de K.R.V.E. 59. Ook dat probleem werd verholpen. Daarna moest er een proefvaart gedaan worden. Eerst ging de kapitein van K.R.V.E. 59 ermee varen. Ik mocht ook varen, dat vond ik helemaal geweldig (zie foto). Wij voeren met zo’n 60 km over het Calandkanaal. De boot reageert al bij ieder klein tikje aan de stuurhandel. Het varen vond ik het leukste van die dag. De K.R.V.E. 59 is een zeer snelle (tot 60 km/h) zogenoemde R.I.B. vaartuig. Deze wordt ingezet voor het vervoer van personen over water i.p.v. over de weg. De overige dagen van mijn snuffelstage heb ik weer doorgebracht bij Merwelands op de Heijplaat. Ik heb daar allerlei klussen gedaan. Onder andere meegeholpen aan het verdere onderhoud aan de werkvlet K.R.V.E 5 die op de helling staat. Ik heb daaraan veel geschilderd, zowel binnenin als aan de buitenkant van de K.R.V.E. 5. Verder de diverse ruimten schoongemaakt enz. Het was voor mij een zeer leerzame en interessante snuffelstage.

Mark Popken, Nieuw-Lekkerland.

Sailing around the world On November 3rd treemasted topsail schooner ‘Oosterschelde’ started an historic global circumnavigation from her homeport Rotterdam. Accompanied by two other Dutch tall ships (Bark ‘Europa’ and ‘Tecla’), she will sail around the world in the wake of Dutch explorers such as Cornelis de Houtman, Abel Tasman and Anthony Van Diemen. During the circumnavigation the ships will pass the three notorious Dutch-named capes: Cape of Good Hope, Cape Leeuwin and Cape Horn. Why sail around the world? Why would such a small shipping company take such financial risks as well as risks for the ship? Young Maritime International spoke with Gerben Nab, captain and manager of Shipping Company ‘Oosterschelde’ about pioneering and taking risks.

has visited almost 50 countries on five continents and sailed in both Arctic and Antarctic waters. During a previous global circumnavigation, the ship visited a.o. Indonesia, Japan and Hong Kong. Pioneering and taking risks Why sail around the world? Why would such a small shipping company take such financial risks as well as risks for the ship? Gerben Nab explains: “We tend to do things that seem to be impossible, but every time we manage to inspire people and succeed with our plans. ‘Oosterschelde’ was the first historic seagoing ship in the Netherlands brought back under sail again. Even though the project seemed to be impossible and unpayable at first, we succeeded. ‘Oosterschelde’ was also the first to discover markets for nature-cruises along the rugged coastlines of Scotland, Norway and Spitsbergen and was the first Dutch sailing ship since 1911, sailing around Cape Horn. In the past years we have proved that it is possible to restore and preserve a monument, without any subsidy, by giving it an economical reason for existence again.”

History of the largest restored sailing ship ‘Oosterschelde’ is built in 1917 as a sailing freighter for worldwide trade and is the largest restored sailing ship of The Netherlands. After a thorough restoration (1988 – 1992), HRH Prinses Margriet re-commissioned the ship, which is now registered as a monument. ‘Oosterschelde’ sails worldwide with paying guests, but is also frequently used for (business) events, weddings, social projects, etc, in harbours around the world. Since the restoration, ‘Oosterschelde’

Now, 20 years after her re-commissioning, H.R.H. Prinses Margriet waved the ship goodbye for a new adventure. Gerben Nab continues: “We do this in an economically difficult time, in which companies tend to be more careful with spending money. In a time in which competition seems to be defined by: giving the lowest price. We believe that in this time doing something ‘different’ and ‘standing out’ is more important then ever. We have been very successful in pioneering and we believe that we will stay successful as long as we don’t give up keep doing what we do best, because once you have a good plan and a bright vision how to make it work we will be able to inspire other people. People that sail with us as a guest, as crew or use our ship for an event with their organisation. People that help us and thus help the last traditional sailing ships to survive.”

The voyage plan Following ancient Dutch trade routes, the ships will first visit Cape Verde and Brazil, then cross the equator and sail to Cape Town. From South Africa, we sail across the Indian Ocean to Madagascar and Mauritius and then on to Australia. At the end of July 2013 we will arrive in Perth. From here we will make an expedition to the Abrolhos Islands where so many Dutch ships were shipwrecked centuries ago. Then, course will be set for Adelaide. We will make a cruise along the south coast to Adelaide, Melbourne and Hobart. From Hobart, we sail to Sydney and Auckland, participating in Tall Ships’ Races. After completing these races, the ship makes a long journey around Cape Horn in November 2013, to the Falkland Islands and on to Antarctica. After two Antarctica expeditions, ‘Oosterschelde’ will cross the Atlantic once more, back to the Netherlands.

The Human Factor Previous articles underlined the importance of education and training for our maritime industry as well as society. “The future of Europa is depending on knowledge, skills and the capacity of its people to innovate. That is why investment in education and training is the best investment for the future of Europe”, Androulla Vassiliou, EU Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth. Various programmes initiated by the European Commission have substantially supported the further development of education and training throughout the current period, 2007 – 2013. The European Commission still has a positive attitude towards the importance of education and training with respect to improvement of knowledge and skills as well as fighting poverty and unemployment of its citizens.

research, innovation and sustainability. These key terms are directly related to our maritime industry. However, policy statements in itself are not sufficient. Policy on the one hand should be supported by sufficient means on the other hand. Where policy context may change, budget restrictions on request of several out of 27 Member States, are in the lead, which could have a major impact on our future education and training. Jaap Gebraad studied Logistics and Economics at the HES in Rotterdam. After his graduation he started working as a forwarding agent, for a period of four years. In 2008 he started at the STCGroup (www.stc-group.nl) as a Jr. Project Manager. The first year was a traineeship, during which he was able to work at various departments of the STC-Group. Currently, he is a Project Manager with as core task internationalisation within the EU for the public part of the STC-Group. Besides, he is the daily secretariat of EDINNA (Education in Inland Navigation) and studying for his Master’s Degree in Shipping and Transport at the Netherlands Maritime University.

On the other hand the European Commission is working on the new outlines for Horizon 2020, a strategy for growth and jobs, where excellent science, competitive industries and a better society form the three core pillars of the policy context. Horizon 2020 will form the financial instrument for implementing the Innovation Union, and jobs and skills form an essential part of this instrument. On the 29th of October the current government of the Netherlands announced the policy contexts for the four years to come. These contexts announce investments in education,

FROM A LEGAL POINT OF VIEW

Leave You Legal Footprint Here! When parties are in the process of concluding a contract, a lawsuit as a possible outcome is about the last thing on their mind….. The reality however is, that contractual obligations are not always met and both parties should better be prepared for this well in time and not when it is too late.

The same applies for arbitration; stay close to home! Unfortunately in our maritime scene it has become quite a habit over the years even for Dutch parties to have their disputes solved in London under the application of English Common Law instead of our own familiar Civil Law. This is often unnecessary and in any case a costly affair! It is estimated that the cost of English proceedings is at least 3 to 4 x higher than in the Netherlands. This is a very conservative estimation; the difference is probably much bigger. Never lose out of sight that if those costs of suit are too high it may become difficult, if not impossible to enforce your claim. The Port Vision 2030 (Havenvisie 2030) subscribes the importance for the Rotterdam maritime cluster to be able to have disputes resolved nearby against reasonable costs and acknowledges the ability of our judges and arbitrators.

It is important to regulate with care in each contract which law applies and which court or arbitration institute will eventually deal with an -unforseen- dispute. Parties established in and around our port areas should rather stay close to home or ‘leave your legal footprint here!’ (the centre of the foot shows the Rotterdam District Court with its specialized chamber on maritime and transport matters). It is no doubt good for the Carbon Footprint as well!

FROM A LEGAL POINT OF VIEW

Port Security It is important for every user of the Port of IJmuiden to be fully informed with regard to the security procedures in and around the port. Here you can find all relevant information with regard to the security in and around our port.

ISPS Code In December 2002 the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) introduced the International Ship and Port Security Code (ISPS Code). This ISPS code is an international standard for the improvement of the security of ocean-going ships and port facilities. As a result of this, in March 2004, the European Parliament established a regulation, in which this security of ocean-going ships and port facilities is regulated. At a national level these international security measures for ports are implemented in the Port Security Act, which has been in force since August 2004.

The port facilities where ships are dealt with which fall under the ISPS code are closed off by means of fencing and registration takes place of everyone who enters or leaves this port facility. The following port facilities in the Port of IJmuiden comply with the ISPS code: • Felison Terminal 1 on the Zuiderbuitenkanaal (terminal for cruise ships) • Felison Terminal 2 in the Vissershaven (terminal for the DFDS Seaways ferry to Newcastle) • Felison Terminal 3 in the IJmondhaven (terminal for the Nedlines ferry to Harwich) • Vissershaven – Trawlerkade/Leonarduskade • Haringhaven - Westerduinweg (quay for offshore) • IJmondhaven – Monnickendamkade.

The ISPS code is applicable to: • ships larger than 500 GT which sail in international waters; • international passenger ships; • mobile drilling platforms; • all port facilities at which the above-named vessels are dealt with.

These port facilities are not freely accessible. Access can be obtained via the agent of the moored ships or via the port authority. Companies dealing with ships which fall under the ISPS code on the above-mentioned quays must be in possession of an approved security plan (a so-called Port Facility Security plan), and must have their own Port Facility Security Officer.

Andrew Theunisse With great pleasure I would like to introduce myself. My name is Andrew Theunisse, 24 years old and currently looking out for new job opportunities in the Port of Rotterdam. In July 2012 I graduated my study Integrated Safety Management from Saxion University of Applied Sciences in Enschede. In this period I studied all various kinds of safety topics. During my internship on Curaçao I created an integrated safety plan for a Dutch comprehensive school consisting a risk assessment & analysis and a crisis plan. Between 2010 and 2011 I followed a Police study at the Police Academy in Apeldoorn and studied the police organization and the operations in terms of investigation, law and order, prevention and disaster management. During my graduation project I worked at the department safety and environment of the staff office of the Royal Netherlands Navy where I did research about the influence of the new NH-90 helicopter on the flight safety at the Royal Netherlands Navy in a changing Defence organization. I have founded new interest of


the Port of Rotterdam, where safety is a hot item. Recently I have become member of the Young Ports Association to learn more about the Port and to find new job opportunities. In the near future I hope to bring my talent to the Port of Rotterdam.

Maritime Awards Gala 2012 honoreert innovatieve topprestaties Nederlandse maritieme sector overtuigt met innovaties gericht op duurzaamheid en veiligheid Ten overstaan van een uitverkocht Maritime Awards Gala 2012 in de Cruise Terminal Rotterdam zijn op donderdag 8 november vier prestigieuze prijzen uitgereikt. Voor zijn innovatieve voortstuwerontwerp voor binnenvaartschepen ontving Bas Goris de VNSI Wim Timmersprijs. Huisman Equipment won de HME Maritime Innovation Award met de Dual Multi-Purpose Tower. De KVNR kende de Shipping Award toe aan de door Stena Line geïnitieerde walstroominstallatie in de haven van Hoek van Holland. De Hr.Ms. Holland van Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding werd tot slot bekroond met de KNVTS Schip van het Jaar prijs.

• Waarnemend voorzitter Stichting Maritieme Prijzen Pim van Gulpen en presentatrice Anita Witzier

De zevende editie van het Maritime Awards Gala werd geopend door waarnemend voorzitter van de Stichting Maritieme Prijzen, Pim van Gulpen. Hiermee gaf hij tegelijkertijd de aftrap voor de tweede editie van de Maritime Week die dit jaar plaatsvindt van 8 tot en met 17 november. Gastvrouw van de avond was Anita Witzier die samen met de vier juryvoorzitters van de maritieme prijzen de winnaars bekend maakte. Het Maritime Awards Gala 2012 was groter dan alle voorgaande edities met 820 maritieme professionals en leden van de pers.

Huismans Dual Multi-Purpose Tower (DMPT) is een boortoren zonder beperkingen bij de handling van boorequipment van een traditionele boortoren (gesloten vakwerkconstructie). Het boorproces wordt hierdoor efficiënter, veiliger en logistiek eenvoudiger. Boorschepen die zijn uitgerust met de DMPT hebben hun waterverplaatsing gehalveerd in vergelijking met andere boorschepen die een nuttige lading (20.000 t) kunnen meenemen. Hierdoor is het brandstofverbruik zeer sterk afgenomen en daarmee de operationele kosten. De boortoren is een volledig Nederlands ontwerp en is in Nederland vervaardigd. Dit laatste garandeert ook de inbreng van lokale toeleveranciers. KVNR Shipping Award – Stena Line – Schone en stille energie in Hoek van Holland Op verzoek van Stena Line zijn de generatoren voor haar veerschepen in de haven van Hoek van Holland ingewisseld voor 3,5 MW walstroominstallaties. Hierdoor is de luchtkwaliteit aanzienlijk verbeterd en de geluidsoverlast vanuit de haven sterk teruggedrongen. Jaarlijks levert dit een CO2 reductie op van 7500 ton, een stikstofoxide (NOX) reductie van circa 120 ton en een verminderde uitstoot van fijnstof van 4 ton. De vier veerschepen van Stena Line zijn aangepast voor energietoevoer vanuit de walstroominstallaties. De walstroominstallatie is tot stand gekomen in sa-

• Champagne bij de entree VNSI Wim Timmersprijs – Bas Goris – Eenvoud als uitgangspunt van voortstuwerontwerp Bas Goris ontwikkelde een voorstuwingsconcept waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van een groot, horizontaal geplaatst vleugelprofiel waarmee via een op-en-neergaande beweging een stuwkracht wordt opgewekt. Zijn 0-foil techniek voor de voortstuwing van binnenvaartschepen garandeert een vermindert brandstofverbruik tot maar liefst 50%. Door dit concept te integreren met een dieselelektrische voortstuwing en een hierop aangepaste en geoptimaliseerde scheepsindeling, ontstaat de mogelijkheid niet alleen het voortstuwingsrendement zelf, maar ook het comfort aan boord van binnenvaartschepen te verbeteren.

Maritieme sector vestigt record tijdens Maritime Week 2012 202 Maritieme gastlessen in één week Het publiek en de overheid laten kennismaken met de maritieme sector, dat was het doel van de tweede editie van de Maritime Week die van 8 tot en met 17 november 2012 plaatsvond. Ruim een week lang werden de schijnwerpers op de maritieme industrie gericht. Tijdens de Maritime Week konden geïnteresseerden met eigen ogen zien en ervaren welke opleidings- en carrièremogelijkheden de sector te bieden heeft. De opmerkelijkste activiteit in de Maritime Week was zonder twijfel de Recordpoging Maritieme Gastlessen. De Recordpoging Maritieme Gastlessen werd op 16 november afgesloten in de Tweede Kamer in het bijzijn van Anouchka van Miltenburg, voorzitter van de Tweede Kamer. Arie Kraaijeveld (voorzitter Nederland Maritiem Land), Mieke Bakker-Mantjes (algemeen directeur Scheepsbouw Nederland), Tineke Netelenbos (voorzitter KVNR) en studenten van TU Delft en Rotterdam Mainport

University gaven de laatste maritieme gastles aan groep 8 van basisschool De Houtrust uit Den Haag. Arie Kraaijeveld maakte samen met twee scholieren het aantal gastlessen bekend : in één week zijn maar liefst 202 maritieme gastlessen door het hele land gegeven met hulp en medewerking van het maritieme bedrijfsleven. De recordpoging is de start van een nieuw initiatief. “De Recordpoging Maritieme Gastlessen, waarbij werd geprobeerd in een kort tijdsbestek zoveel mogelijk gastlessen te verzorgen, is bedoeld om zichtbaar te maken hoe interessant het is om in de maritieme industrie te leren en te werken. Veel jongeren zijn niet bekend met de opleidings- en beroepsmogelijkheden”, liet Mieke Bakker-Mantjes bij de feestelijke bijeenkomst weten. Met 12.000 in deze sector actieve ondernemingen en daarmee 186.000 arbeidsplaatsen is er nu en in de toekomst behoefte aan goed opgeleide jongeren.

Esmaly-Werken Esmaly-Werken is een klein bedrijf wat in de loop der jaren zich gespecialiseerd heeft in het verwijderen van afgebroken bouten,tappen,boren of zelfs gereedschapstalen stud Bolts. Vroeger was het haast onmogelijk om een boor, tap of een hardstalen bout te verwijderen. Het was een tijdrovend karwei, je moest altijd veel ruimte hebben of maken om te boren of frezen en dan was de kans nog groot dat je de schroefdraad beschadigde. Als je aan zo een klus gezet werd had je een groot probleem. Dit was voor Esmaly-Werken een reden om daar in te duiken. Nu met een bestaand gereedschap wat nog geen bekendheid heeft in de maintenance, maar met een doorontwikkelde theorie voor de benodigde elektroden.

Aan de stroombron wordt ook een slingerkop bevestigd waar een koperen holle elektrode in gaat. Door de binnenkant stroomt het water met de booremulsie voor de geleiding en het afvoeren van de restanten. Zo erodeer je een gat in de afgebroken bout ,boor of tap. Deze elektroden zijn verkrijgbaar in div. afmetingen en zo maakt het ons mogelijk om diverse doorsnede te eroderen. Wij kunnen vanaf M5 t/m M80 eroderen voor u. Doordat de slingerkop te bevestigen is in een draaibank, freesbank of op een magneetvoet maakt het voor Esmaly-Werken mogelijk om eigenlijk overal te komen. Wij kunnen eroderen in een horizontale of een verticale positie. Wij komen gewoon naar de klant toe en het is niet nodig om het te eroderen gereedschap uit te plannen of naar een werf te brengen. Dus ideaal voor klanten die weinig ruimte vinden om onderhoud te verrichten. Foto’s: 1 afgebroken stud bolt gemaakt van gereedschapstaal dit was een M46 wat 3 cm naast een cilinderkop zat. De fabrikant wilde de kop trekken en zo de werkzaamheden uitvoeren. Dit was 3 dagen werk, wij erodeerde hem binnen de deadline uit en bespaarde veel tijd en geld voor de klant. Mocht u geïnteresseerd zijn in deze methode neemt u vrijblijvend contact met ons op. De gegevens vindt u terug op onze site. www.esmaly-werken.nl

Met deze ingrediënten slagen wij erin om uw probleem op te lossen nl: het verwijderen van afgebroken bouten, tappen, boren of gereedschapstalen stud Bolts. Dit is mogelijk in zeer kleine ruimtes of op zeer moeilijke plaatsen. Deze methode is geschikt op plaatsen waar je met een boor of freestol niet bij komt. (verder in het verslag foto s van klussen). Werkingsprincipe: Je hebt een stroombron met een +lading, aan deze stroombron zit een koelwaterpomp met een druk van 3 bar waterdruk. Hier koel je het te eroderen afgebroken stuk mee, deze wordt absoluut niet warm. Door het water geleid ook de stroom beter.

ESMALY WERKEN ERODEREN...... een nieuwe innovatie voor afgebroken bouten of tappen. Als er een bout afbreekt denkt men meestal dat wordt boren en met een linkse tap halen we het afgebroken stuk metaal eruit. Maar als er een tap, boor of zelfs een gehard gereedschapsstaal onderdeel afbreekt dan gaat het boren niet meer op. Met de erodeer methode van ESMALY-WERKEN kunt u toch het afgebroken stuk verwijderen, zonder de schroefdraad te beschadigen. Voor meer informatie: Esmaly-Werken E.H.N.

HISTORY Frans Stassar get’s in touch with his shipping roots Frans Stassar, currently an optician, is the grandchild of Willebordus de Ridder. His grandfather used to be the owner of a historic ship which is still ‘alive’ today and currently lays in the Haringvliet port in Rotterdam.

being used by the Canadian and probably also Polish liberation armies. After being refitted from the sinking (in Geertruidenberg),

Bertha’s (currently known as Nova Cura) keel was laid down in 1927. She was launched in 1928 as a sand and gravel ship built to order for Willebordus de Ridder by the family Boot, in Woubrugge. Most likely, de Ridder had a sand and gravel company based in Leiden and the Bertha’s dimensions were maximised for travel around Leiden. At the time of the launch Bertha was one of very few large Luxemotors built with a load capacity of 230 square metres. Bertha was lengthened in the 30’s to her current 38.54 metres. During the war Bertha was still in service working for the German occupation forces by transporting sand and gravel for the various building projects.
