Into the Arctic onboard the James Clark Ross Solange van der Werff graduated from TU Delft, Marine Technology and started her first job at the Trials & Monitoring group at MARIN. For her first project ‘Ships in Ice’ she went into the Arctic onboard the research ship James Clark Ross. “It is fascinating to experience that theory and practice really can come together”. A rather new field within MARIN involves ships and floating structures in ice. New tools are being developed to support clients in their preparations for Arctic operations. With these tools the performance of floating structures in ice can be tested and evaluated. “And by extending our ice simulation capabilities, we can offer special bridge simulator training programmes to vessel crews for practicing navigation and operations in ice-covered waters”.
Knowledge and experience “It is important that these simulations are close to reality.” For this reason, Solange joined the ice strengthened research vessel James Clark Ross on a journey from Iceland, via the east Greenland coast, to Spitsbergen. The team encountered a whole range of ice conditions, from the mildest, with only a few ice particles, to thick sheets of ice of over a metre thick that had to be broken by the ship. Sometimes these included ridges (extremely thick ice features embedded in ice sheets).
All of these situations require careful handling of the ship. Solange: “I was impressed by the crew’s expertise in steering and manoeuvring the ship.” The observations are used in the development of numerical models for ice load prediction. Additionally, they will contribute to getting a better idea of the required skills and techniques needed for a safe passage and operations in ice and how these can be applied to bridge simulator training.
Working at MARIN Each year, MARIN gives students the opportunity to gain work experience or to complete their final year project. And quite some of them start their first job at MARIN. Working at MARIN gives you a great amount of independence. Personal initiative is welcomed and people are expected to be innovative. You will be involved in the most recent developments in this field of study. Interested? For internships, trainee positions or a job look at www.marin.nl/jobs or send an e-mail to

Maritime Innovation Experience 2013 STUDENTEN MAKEN KENNIS MET INNOVATIE OP MARITIME INNOVATION EXPERIENCE Vijfhonderd studenten van technische en commerciële opleidingen op mbo- en hbo-niveau bezochten op 11 september de Maritime Innovation Experience in de Duurzaamheidsfabriek in Dordrecht. Op de Centrale Markt en tijdens diverse workshops, demonstraties en activiteiten maakten studenten kennis met de innovatieve kant van de maritieme sector dankzij zo'n honderd maritieme professionals. Teun Muller, voorzitter van Werkgevers Drechtsteden, en Rein Meester, directeur Leerpark ontwikkeling Da Vinci college benadrukten beiden bij de opening het belang van het innovatie- en carrière-evenement. Muller: “Het enthousiast maken van jonge mensen voor maritieme techniek is van groot belang voor de maritieme bedrijven in deze regio.” Meester vult aan: “De Duurzaamheidsfabriek vormt een prachtige interactieve locatie voor matchmaking tussen scholieren en studenten en het maritieme bedrijfsleven.” Bedrijf zoekt student Op de Centrale Markt waren 30 bedrijven aanwezig om studenten te informeren en te enthousiasmeren voor de maritieme sector en hun bedrijf. Veel organisaties hadden uitgepakt om hun innovatieve werkzaamheden te visualiseren. Ze toonden werkende modellen, kwamen met een leuke prijsvraag of deden proefjes. Hiermee wisten ze de jongeren nieuwsgierig te maken. Kennisdeling tijdens workshops In een uitgebreid workshopprogramma werden diverse maritieme innovatiestukken gepresenteerd: een team van studenten presenteerde het multipurpose schip voor de tropen, IHC Merwede vertelde over duurzame innovatie bij IHC Merwede, het Solar Boat Team van de TU Delft ging brainstormen hoe ze een boot op zonne-energie nog sneller kunnen laten varen, MARIN presenteerde de resultaten van het project Save (brandstofbesparing bij binnenvaartschepen) en studenten van de opleiding Maritiem Officier vertelden over hun onderzoek ´Corona Technologie´. Aan de slag bij SpeedSolving Maritime Gedurende de dag werden er zes SpeedSolving Maritime Sessies gehouden waar bijna 90 studenten aan hebben deelgenomen. Tijdens de sessies konden ze kiezen uit een vraagstuk van Feadship: ‘Create the client’s dream: bedenk nieuwe ideeën die de superjachten van Feadship tot een droomschip kunnen maken’ of een vraagstuk van Alewijnse Marine Systems: ‘Bedenk manieren om een boorplatform om te bouwen tot een drijvend hotel.’ In multidisciplinaire groepen kwamen de jongeren tot verrassende nieuwe inzichten voor de opdrachtgevers. Walvisvin als voortstuwing Leonardo Experience, een innovation lab in de Duurzaamheidsfabriek, organiseerde de Shipmodelling Experience. Studenten werden uitgedaagd om in een groepje van drie personen de snelste scheepsaansturing gebaseerd op een walvisvin te maken met behulp van verschillende materialen, waaronder een muizenval. De workshop werd gegeven door de ontwerpers van Leonardo Experience in samenwerking met O-Foil.
Diverse activiteiten Op de fabrieksvloer van de Duurzaamheidsfabriek werden studenten door Maritime by Holland uitgedaagd om een zonne-energie bootje in elkaar te zetten en te laten varen. Een andere uitdaging was het zo vol mogelijk beladen van een binnenvaartschip. Tevens werden demonstraties gehouden door in de Duurzaamheidsfabriek gevestigde bedrijven: een DVC-waterstraalsnijder, een CNC-frezer, de ´flowloop´ XCaliber en recycling van oude kunststofdelen. Proeftuin Maritieme Innovatie De Maritime Innovation Experience is een evenement georganiseerd door Proeftuin Maritieme Innovatie. De Proeftuin Maritieme Innovatie is geïnitieerd door Werkgeversvereniging Drechtsteden. Het programma stelt zich ten doel de innovatiekracht van mkb-bedrijven in de regio Drechtsteden te bevorderen door innovatiekrachten te bundelen. EU-ondersteuning De Proeftuin Maritieme Innovatie investeert in uw toekomst. Dit project wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door het Europees Fonds voor Regionale Ontwikkeling.

Leonardo da Vinci Projects Train-the-Trainer Course Material for Inland Navigation Education and Training During the summer period, the Dutch National Agency approved an application for a Transfer of Innovation Project, submitted in January 2013, called Train-the-Trainer Course Material for Inland Navigation Education and Training. This project will analyse in depth how the maritime sector is realising the implementation of the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) by means of the didactical use of simulators. It will then review in which form this approach is feasible for the inland navigation sector and set up a process for establishing benchmarks for a didactical manual including a train-the-trainer course aiming the implementation of STCIN. A methodology for the development of a didactical manual will be established. The project will officially st th start at the 1 of October 2013 and will end the 30 of September 2015. The following partners form the consortium:

James Clark Ross This article is about the British naval officer and explorer. For the British Antarctic Survey supply and research ship, see RRS James Clark Ross. Sir James Clark Ross (15 April 1800 – 3 April 1862) was a British naval officer and explorer remembered today for his exploration of the Arctic with his uncle Sir John Ross and Sir William Parry and, in particular, his own expedition to Antarctica. Arctic explorer Ross was born in London, the nephew of Sir John Ross, under whom he entered the navy in 1812, accompanying him on Sir John's first Arctic voyage in search of a Northwest Passage in 1818. Between 1819 and 1827, Ross took part in four Arctic expeditions under Sir William Parry, and in 1829 to 1833, again served under his uncle on Sir John's second Arctic voyage. It was during this trip that they located the position of the North Magnetic Pole on 1 June 1831 on the Boothia Peninsula in the far north of Canada. It was on this trip, too, that Ross charted the Beaufort Islands, later renamed Clarence Islands by his uncle. In 1834, Ross was promoted to Captain. In December 1835, he offered his services to the Admiralty to resupply 11 whaling ships which had become trapped in Baffin Bay. They accepted his offer and he set sail in the HMS Cove in January 1836. The crossing was difficult, and by the time he had reached the last known position of the whalers in June, all but one had managed to return home. Ross found no trace of this last vessel, the William Torr, which was probably crushed in the ice in December 1835. He returned to Hull in September 1836 with all his crew in good health.

From 1835–39, except for his voyage with the Cove, he conducted a magnetic survey of Great Britain with Edward Sabine. Antarctic explorer Between 1839 and 1843, Ross commanded an Antarctic expedition comprising the vessels HMS Erebus and HMS Terror and charted much of the coastline of the continent. Support for the expedition had been arranged by Francis Beaufort, hydrographer of the Navy and a member of several scientific societies. On the expedition was Joseph Dalton Hooker, who had been invited along as assistant surgeon. Erebus and Terror were bomb vessels – an unusual type of warship named after the mortar bombs they were designed to fire and constructed with extremely strong hulls, to withstand the recoil of the mortars, which were to prove of great value in thick ice. In 1841, James Ross discovered the Ross Sea, Victoria Land, and the volcanoes Mount Erebus and Mount Terror, which were named for the expedition's vessels. They sailed for 250 nautical miles (460 km) along the edge of the low, flat-topped ice shelf they called the Victoria Barrier, later named "Ross Ice Shelf" in his honour. In the following year, he attempted to penetrate south at about 55°W, and explored the eastern side of what is now known as James Ross Island, discovering and naming Snow Hill Island and Seymour Island. It is interesting to note that Ross reported that Admiralty Sound (which he named Admiralty Inlet appeared to Ross to have been blocked by glaciers at its southern end. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1848 and knighted in 1844.
In 1848, he was sent on one of three expeditions to find Sir John Franklin. (The others were the Rae-Richardson Arctic Expedition and the HMS Plover-HMS Herald expedition through the Bering Strait.) He was given command of HMS Enterprise, accompanied by HMS Investigator, Because of heavy ice in Baffin Bay he only reached the northeast tip of Somerset Island where he was frozen in at Port Leopold. In the spring he and Francis McClintock explored the west coast of the island by sledge. He recognized Peel Sound but thought it too ice-choked for Franklin to have used it (In fact Franklin had used it in 1846.). Next summer he tried to reach Wellington Channel but was blocked by ice and returned to England. James was married to Lady Ann Ross. He died at Aylesbury in 1862, five years after his wife. A blue plaque marks Ross's home in Eliot Place, Blackheath, London. His closest friend was Captain Francis Rawdon Moira Crozier with whom he sailed many times. Crozier has never been found after he participated in The Franklin Expedition and became leader after the death of Sir John Franklin.
James also lived in the ancient country house of the Abbotts of St Albans, later known as The Abbey, Aston Abbotts in Buckinghamshire. He is buried with his wife in the local churchyard. In the gardens of the Abbey there is a lake with two islands, named after the ships Terror and Erebus.
