“Promoting Young Potentials” For all those who feel passionate about the maritime sector, Welcome to the new edition of YMI! Young Maritime International is a new magazine that aims to provide youth in the maritime sector with the opportunity to publish their projects, innovative ideas, and graduation projects. Each edition will contain several projects of students worldwide. Two other topics that will be touched upon in the magazine are "From a legal point of view" and "History". The magazine is meant for youth and students in the maritime sector, maritime businesses, educational institutes, business schools, governmental institutes, and other interested parties.

Two Dutch maritime students for traineeship to New Zeeland A small staff and many duties and operational tasks are for quite some ports an obstacle to produce an IHMA Port Information Guide. Hence the idea to start an exchange program for maritime students and ports. Although the program was originally aimed at European ports, the first approach for the exchange came from Marlborough District Council’s Harbour Master, Alex van Wijngaarden. Two Dutch students are now preparing, together with Alex, their visa, bachelor assignment and plan of approach. The traineeship starts half November and will take 4 to 6 month, according to their progress. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
The district's main port of Picton is located at the head of Queen Charlotte Sound, approximately 17 nautical miles from Cook Strait, and serves as the South Island terminus for a number of passenger, vehicle and freight ferries. The port also exports bulk timber from the newly developed deep-water berth in Shakespeare Bay, immediately west of Picton. Export volumes are expected to reach 700,000 tonnes per annum within the next five to seven years. For many years the Sounds have been the centre of the New Zealand marine farming industry, particularly of greenshell mussels. Marine farms have been established throughout the district, most of them in Pelorus Sound. Harvested product is landed in several areas, with Havelock at the head of Pelorus Sound being the focal area for this industry.
The students will hopefully have their bachelor degree afterwards, but it is certainly also the intention that the port benefits of their labour. Both students are quite excited about their traineeship in New Zeeland, not in the least since Alex has promised them to plan all kind of activities in and around Marlborough, trips with the pilots on a variety of ships, spending some time with the port operator, going out with the Harbour Rangers to audit marine farms plus plenty more. Hopefully this first exchange will be a good start for more students from universities from other countries as well. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

DNV predicts technologies towards 2020 seminar September, 12th DNV’s Technology Outlook 2020 report highlights technologies that could have great impact in the maritime and energy sectors.
separation and boosting, and drilling and intervention technology will diversify, apply smarter monitoring and increase efficiency.”
“We firmly believe that technology is a vital part of the solution for many of the global and industry challenges facing us today,” says Elisabeth Harstad, Managing Director of DNV’s Research and Innovation Unit which published the report. “Also, we believe that the best way to be prepared for the future is to have a broad view over technologies from the many industry sectors which we serve. We don’t claim to have all the answers, but we have based our opinions on our expertise and competence.”
Shale game changer She continues, “Unconventional oil and gas, mainly dominated by shale gas, will be a considerable part of the energy mix, and the challenges related to water treatment will have to be solved. Future refineries will face stricter emission requirements, and they will have to be far more ‘intelligent’ then they are today.”
Technology Outlook 2020 looks at future technologies in four main areas: shipping, fossil energy, renewable and nuclear energy, and power systems. The report covers seven global megatrends (see side bar text) which DNV believes will effect developments in the selected areas. In addition, the report explores four scenarios, a combination of drivers which form possible alternative futures. No techno revolution Commenting on the key summary points, Ms Harstad says “There is little of that which will characterise society in 2020 that is not already in the labs or on the drawing boards. Technological developments take long, slow steps. Technological evolution is more likely than technological revolution, but we can expect the technology to be used in new areas – for example, we think that nanotechnology will be important for developing renewable energy. Information Communication Technology will permeate all technology.” Fossil fuels will by far be the largest part of the energy mix also in 2020 and Ms Harstad believes the focus will be on increasing efficiency and improving the environmental footprint from operations. “We will see increasingly more advanced subsea oil and gas production systems being used for
While CO2 capture and storage technologies are maturing and becoming more cost efficient, the large scale use of them in 2020 will be limited, predicts Ms Harstad. “Development of technologies for CO2 utilisation – turning CO2 into useful products – will be developed, but will probably struggle to become commercial in 2020. Wind behind renewables Turning to renewables, Ms Harstad says “the decade for introduction to the low carbon economy is underway…we will see cost reduction and efficiency improvements for the renewables, but the deployment of these will depend a lot on infrastructure developments. “For wind energy, we will see offshore and onshore going in different directions: onshore staying about the same size as they are today, though becoming smarter. Commercial offshore turbines might reach a capacity of 10MW. Solar heat and power will grow,” she predicts. Power systems will be key “Power transmission systems will be one of the major issues in the transition process towards the low carbon economy,” argues Ms Harstad and adds, “Cross national super grids, offshore transmission grids to bring wind energy to shore, smart grids and managing variable output due to integration of renewables are all part of the solution.”
Sustainable shipping solutions Innovative ships designs and port solutions are also covered in the report. “We will see concepts with modified hull forms, using air bubble lubrication, air cavity systems, and new types of surface materials and maybe ballast free ships,” says Ms Harstad and adds, “It is likely that we will see the application of more environmentally friendly fuels like LNG and to a lesser degree biofuels. Nuclear will also come into play in the future but will initially struggle to get public acceptance. “Hybrid propulsion – the Prius of the Seas – might also be a reality in commercial shipping in 2020, in particular for ships with variable power demands,” adds Ms Harstad.
“An essential aspect of a sustainable future is how we, as humans, live and act in daily life. At the same time, the world population is set to grow, not least in Asia, so how can we accommodate millions of people sustainably, yet at an acceptable standard of living?” asks Ms Harstad. You can read the report and learn more about DNV’s sustainable coastal community concept on www.dnv.com/foresight
Sustainable coastal communities The Technology Outlook 2020 report also describes an idea for a new sustainable coastal community, accommodating millions of people, using to a large extent the technology advancements from the energy and maritime sectors.

Kenniscentrum Duurzaam Schip bestaat 10 jaar!
Dit schooljaar vieren we vanuit Maritiem Instituut De Ruyter in Vlissingen het 10 jarig bestaan van ons Kenniscentrum Duurzaam Schip. De afgelopen 10 jaar werden in samenwerking met de KVNR en Vereniging Holland Marine Equipment meer dan honderd projecten uitgevoerd binnen het Kenniscentrum. Reders, maritieme toeleveranciers en overheden vonden hun weg naar het Maritiem Instituut de Ruyter. De door hen neergelegde onderzoeksvragen werden door teams van studenten, onder begeleiding van docenten en experts uit het werkveld, uitgewerkt tot projecten met soms verrassende uitkomsten. Op 8 September jl. is binnen het Kenniscentrum een nieuwe projectperiode van start gegaan, waarbij de volgende topics onderzocht gaan worden: ♦ Energy Efficiency: Op 15 Juli 2011 zijn de amendementen van Marpol Annex VI tijdens de Marine Environment Protection Committee in Londen aangenomen. Elk schip van meer dan 400 GT moet vanaf 1 Januari 2013 over een zogenaamd Energy Efficiency Plan beschikken. Wat moet er in zo’n plan staan, hoe is het opgezet en welke mogelijkheden zijn er aan boord om efficiënt met energie om te gaan? ♦ Ballastwater Management Systemen. Onderzoek naar hoe er in de praktijk met ballastwater aan boord omgegaan wordt. Tevens het opzetten van een beslismatrix om te komen van een long-list van ballastwater systemen naar een shortlist voor reders.
♦ Gas-waterinjectie. Proefopstelling Wärtsilä 9L20 voor biofuel conversion in combinatie met emissiemetingen. ♦ Haalbaarheidsonderzoek naar de bouw van een nieuwe generatie solarboat. ♦ Remote control. Praktijkonderzoek naar de mogelijkheden van onbemand varen middels inzet van de voormalige solarboat. ♦ Innovatieve technische oplossingen voor mestverwerking aan boord of aan de wal. ♦ Onderzoek naar de toegevoegde waarde van het varen onder Nederlandse vlag en het HBO-diploma aan boord. ♦ Project waarbij in kaart gebracht wordt hoeveel procent van de tijd het –statistisch gezien- mogelijk is om met een grotere diepgang Terneuzen en Vlissingen aan te lopen voor Capesize schepen. Piraterij: regelgeving, inrichting saferooms, vergelijking technische systemen. Op vrijdag 30 Maart 2012 wordt het 10-jarig bestaan van Kenniscentrum Duurzaam Schip gevierd met een symposium met als thema Energy Efficiency. Het symposium vindt plaats op 30 maart 2012. Voor meer informatie of aanmelding kunt u contact opnemen met Chantal Scheiberlich (06-43426442) of Jeroen van Beers (0118-558745)
Projects Sustainable Ship September 2011 1) Organising symposium 10th anniversary Information Centre Sustainable Shortsea Shipping This symposium takes place Friday March 30th, 2012. The topic is Energy Efficiency in relation to Marpol. During the first semester, this is a combi-project with project no. 4 ‘Energy Efficiency Plan’, which has a duration of 1 semester. The organisation of the symposium has a duration of 2 semesters. 2) Solar boat Research, design, budget, and planning of a new, competing solar boat. Project with a duration of 2 semesters with the intention for this to result in the construction of a new boat by the time of the next school year (2012/2013), which will enable us to participate in races in 2013 again. First semester research and basic design ready, second semester detailed design, budget and planning ready. 3) Remote Control Project (1 semester), whereby the current solar boat will be used in order to gain insight in the possibilities of sailing without crew by means of remote control. Setting up and executing validity test cases so as to either accept or reject previously determined technics and hypotheses with regard to sailing without crew. 4) Energy Efficiency Plan On July 15th 2011, the amendments of MARPOL Annex VI were accepted during the Marine Environment Protection Committee in London. As of January 1st 2013, every ship of more than 400 GT is required to have a so-called Energy Efficiency Plan. What must be stated in such a plan, how is it set up, and which possibilities are there to deal with energy efficiently on board? 5) Technical solutions for manure processing on board Cattle ships are increasingly limited in the possibilities to discard manure of cattle that is being shipped. The expectation is that rules and regulations will be sharpened in such a way that this will no longer be possible at all. Map the available possibilities to sustainably process manure on board or on shore, depending on the navigation profile and the abilities of the ships, including cost-benefit analysis. 6) Research application Flettner Rotor on board Building a new ferry equiped with Flettner rotors. Determine the potential fuel saving on a yearly basis, presuming the following configurations: MK without shaft generator MK with shaft generator MK with shaft generator which also has the possibility of PTI. MK with multiple engines and DE propulsion.
7) Emission measurement gas/water injection Wartsila Technum Practical research whereby it needs to be mapped which adjustments are needed to make the Wärtsilä in the Technum fit for gas/water injection and for emission measurement with and without gas/water injection. In addition, zero measurement and setting up the conditions and execution of test trials, setting up the test protocol. 8) Ballast water management Project of the NIOZ which entails a practical research on the way in which shipping companies deal with ballast water. In addition, setting up a decision matrix to come from a long-list of ballast water systems to a short-list which can be used for shipping companies. Duration: 1 semester. On Tuesday and Wednesday the 8th and 9th of November 2011, the North Sea Ballast Water Congress takes place in Rotterdam. The project group will participate at this congress. 9) Dutch flag and HBO Sainling Certificate of Competency (HBO-vaarbevoegdheid) Research on the additional value for shipping companies to sail under the Dutch flag. In addition, research on the additional value for students and shipping companies of a HBOdiplome: what is the acceptance and promotion policy of shipping companies in regard of the HBO certified? 10) Piracy To avoid piracy, there are diverse systems available on the market, measures taken by shipping companies, regulation and preparation of students at maritime schools. Map the different things that are available and advise the sector what should the desired actions in these areas. Oktober 7th 2011, there will be a network meeting of the Union of Former Students (Vereniging van Oud Leerlingen ( VOL)) with regard to this topic. This will take place in the Pieter Vijnzaal. 11) Hydrometeo and Statistics Nautical research in cooperation with RWS, Sealand Sea ports, and Ovet, on how much percent of time Capesize ships with more depth than allowed could enter the harbour of Vlissingen and Terneuzen. Project duration: 1 semester.

Port State Control – Concentrated Inspection Campaign on structural safety and the Load Line Convention All shipowners and operators trading to the Paris, Tokyo, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean and Black Sea MOU regions and the Vina del Mar agreement region The Secretariats of the Paris and Tokyo MOUs have announced they will embark on a Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) on structural safety and the International Convention on Load Lines. The CIC will last for three months, starting on September 1, 2011 and ending on November 30, 2011. States party to the Viña del Mar Agreement, and the Indian Ocean, Mediterranean and Black Sea MOUs will follow the same routine during the campaign. The CIC is being carried out because deficiencies related to structural safety and load lines have accounted for an average of 15% of the total number of deficiencies during the last 8 years. Furthermore, structural safety for ship types other than bulk carriers and compliance with the Load Line Convention in general have not previously been addressed through a CIC. During the campaign, Port State Control Officers (PSCOs) will verify applicable documents and aspects such as loading instruments, the protection of hatch openings, the vessel’s hull, bulkheads and deck, and other Load Line Convention and structural integrity features. PSCOs will be guided by a questionnaire listing the items to be covered. Download questionnaire. When deficiencies are found, actions by the port state may vary from recording a deficiency and instructing the master to rectify within a certain period to detention of the ship until deficiencies have been rectified. Any detentions will be published in the monthly list of detentions available on the respective MOU websites. The results of the campaign will be analysed and the findings will be presented to the governing bodies of the MOUs for submission to the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

Safety alert: Malfunction of proximity switch (MAIB Safety Bulletin 2/2011) Applicabilty: Shipowners and managers Following the recent failure of a wire rope attached to a Norsafe fast rescue boat, which resulted in the loss of life of a seafarer, the UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) has issued Safety Bulletin 2/2011. A possible contributing factor to the incident was the failure of the proximity/limit switch (Telemechanique XS7-C40FP260) fitted to the davit. This switch should have cut electrical power to the winch motor before the davit reached its stops, but failed to function. Hoisting was not stopped before the davit reached its stowed position, possibly resulting in an overload of the rescue boat falls. This incident happened on the Schat-Harding SA 1.5 rescue boat davit system. It is also known that the same proximity/limit switches are fitted to Schat-Harding SA 1.75 davits. The terminal within the proximity/limit switch was found to be corroded. Owners and managers of vessels equipped with lifeboat and/or rescue boat davits should: 1.
in cases where Schat-Harding SA 1.5 or Schat-Harding SA 1.75 davits are fitted, follow and implement the manufacturer’s instructions
2.
ensure that all proximity/limit switches fitted to boat davit systems are tested on each occasion before a boat is hoisted and that such devices are not relied upon during operation
3.
follow manufacturers’ recommendations regarding the maintenance and periodic testing, examination and replacement of proximity/limit switches used on lifeboat and or rescue boat davit systems and seek clarification from manufacturers where ambiguity exists
4.
verify the effectiveness of seals on electrical equipment fitted to boat davit systems on open decks.
Lloyd's Register recommends owners and managers ensure that maintenance manuals include the necessary instructions, as required by SOLAS Regulation III/36.

De Dar Mlodziezy, sister ship of the Mir De Dar Mlodziezy is the first of six Russian and Polish ships built in Gdansk. The most famous sister ship is the Russian Mir, an A-class ship that participates in the Tall Ships Races and performs quite well in its category. The construction and history of the Dar Mlodziezy The ship was built at the Lenin shipyard in Gdansk (Poland). It was part of a series of six Polish and Russian ships, the so-called Mir-class of the M-108-class. The Dar Mlodziezy was the first ship built and dates from 1982. The nautical architect is Zygmunt Choren. Six sister ships The Dar Mlodziezy is the first ship of a series of six. The five other ships, also of the nautical architect Zygmunt Chorden and also built in Gdansk, are first and foremost the Mir, which sails under the Russian flag and was built in 1987. Mir means “peace” in Russian. Hereafter, the Druzhba followed, also built in 1987. The home port of this ship is Odessa in Ukraine. Druzhba means “friendship”. The Khersones, which refers to Greece, was launched to water in 1988. Its home port is Kerch. A little later, the Pallada was built. This ship sails under the Russian flag and has as its home port Vladivostok. Lastly, the Nasheba followed in 1992. This ship also sails under the Russian flag. Its home port is also Vladivostok. Nasheba means “hope”.
The Dar Mlodziezy Dar Mlodziezy means “gift of the youth”. This ship’s name comes from that it was partly financed from contributions of schoolchildren in the 1960s and 1970s. The higher nautical school in Gdynia in Poland owns it. The ship was used as a flagship of the Marine Trade Academy in Gdynia in Poland, as replacement of the Dar Pormorza. The white training ship with a small red stripe on the hull and dinghy’s has a crew of 44 members, consisting of regular crew and four teachers. In addition, there is place for 120 people and 30 cadets. The ship is equipped for the training and education of students from the maritime world. There is a classroom and practice equipment. Since 2008, the Dar Mlodziezy is used for the sea internship of first year the students of the Antwerp Higher Maritime School. This year, they went along the Irish, Spanish, and Moroccan coasts. The ship has cabins for ten persons. On the corridor there are enough showers and toilets. The food on board is tasty. Everybody eats the same meal, from captain to crew. It consists of different kinds of coals, sausage, and potatoes. Pasta and fish are more like delicacies. The costs of the Dar Mlodziezy are partly covered by the participation price that is to be paid for the trainings. The Dar Mlodziezy is able to remain 60 days on the sea autonomously, without having to stop at a harbour. The ship regularly participates in all sorts of races. In 1992, it also participated in the commemorating tour of the discovery of America by Christoffel Colombus. During this tour, it was beaten by its sister ship Mir.
