OPENING

  • UK investigation of chemical tanker jetty contact - the pilot could have waited for a tug 
  • OCIMF news - SIRE 2.0, shore emissions capture in California 
  • Making competency management systems work - needs regular reviews, and the competencies in it need to be specific and measurable, said speakers from Seapeak and INTERTANKO in the OTG webinar
  • SMM opening event addresses geopolitics, decarbonisation, technology - with maritime industry leaders from IMO, EU, German government, Hapag Lloyd, German Shipowners Association, MAN, VARD and DNV

DECARBONISATION

  • Reviewing decarbonisation plans made a few years ago - many companies are doing it, says ABS 
  • Navigator Gas plans for ammonia fuel - purchasing it as fuel, transporting it from production terminals to bunkering ports, investing in bunker stations
  • DNV and forecasts for the future - a DNV event shared perspectives from IMO’s Secretary General, ABN Amro, Shell, and Grieg
  • OceanScore shares insights on FuelEU Maritime - much more complex than a tax; using biofuel can actually save you money
  • BAR Technologies sails with a performance guarantee - CEO John Cooper told us about how to build customer confidence, his contract with Union Maritime, and the typical savings

TECHNOLOGY

  • Removing the need for a shaft stern tube - an alternative design with water lubrication means less friction and so higher performance 
  • NAPA's software for managing shipboard work permits - ensuring that everybody understands what work is being done
  • WiseStella’s software to support SIRE 2.0 inspections - run a trial SIRE 2.0 inspection, to help you prepare for the real thing 
  • Tank monitoring and measurement systems - provider Scanjet shares advice about how to get the most out of them and avoid mistakes
  • Handheld 3D scanning tools in equipment repairs - proving very helpful when the equipment is too large to move, reports MarineShaft
  • CMT’s acoustic analysis for engine scuffing - it increases friction of the piston and so reduces performance of the engine. Acoustic sensing could spot quicker
  • Alfa Laval says many companies replacing their BWMS - also moving forward with wing sails and ammonia technologies
  • Becker focuses on optimising hydrodynamic performance - benefits from buying your rudder, propeller and other equipment affecting vessel flow properties from the same supplier
  • Modelling boil-off on LNG carriers with Danelec’s simulation - using digital twin modelling to simulate vessel operations and cargo ageing
  • ERMA First Group's shipboard carbon capture, propeller fins and shore power systems - including carbon capture systems on Capital Gas vessels
