Shipbuilding companies in cruise business build facilities for wonderful experiences for the passengers and effective cargo handling. Those facilities make customers’ business successful. STX Europe is a leading designer and builder of passenger and car ferries. Nobody can directly say that there is something wrong with the business understanding or operation. Of the 20 largest ferries in the world, twelve were built by STX Europe. The most recent vessels built in Finland are known all over the world for their particularly high quality. But the general situation in shipbuilding has not improved during the year 2009 and no new orders have been secured. The employment situation at the Turku yard is further worsening, the operational level is reduced and the impact to the employment is inevitable. At STX Finland’s Rauma shipyard, the situation is better. The production of two car and passenger ferries for the British company P&O Ferries for the Dover – Calais route offers work. The first ferry, which is due to be completed in November 2010, is under construction in the dry dock. The second vessel in the series will be identical to its sister ferry. Both projects are right on schedule. The order of a research vessel for the South African Department of Environmental Affairs will employ the Rauma shipyard even after the P&O Ferries order has been completed. STX Finland won the building project of this new expedition ship in hard competition. The expertise of Finnish shipyards as builders of demanding Arctic and Antarctic vessels is well known in South Africa. In this situation, the need to significantly improve the competitiveness and cost-effectiveness has increased. The percent-wise drop of the market prices has been recorded in double digits. Improving the cost-effectiveness and streamlining the operations are prerequisites for the future of the shipyards. Good news are coming from the offshore sector. STX Europe has entered into new contracts with Island Offshore for the building of two Platform Supply Vessels. The vessels will be built at STX Europe in Brevik, and are based on the same design as Island Commander and Island Chieftain delivered from STX Europe earlier this year. STX Europe has been awarded contracts also with Siem Offshore for design and building of two Platform Supply Vessels. The vessels are designed by STX Europe in Ålesund and will be built at STX Europe in Brazil. *** As a conclusion, I have to say that marine business has turned more complicated. But that is life: there are good days, difficult days and even bad days. But always after bad times there will be better business, because we have learned something new. RISTO VALKEAPÄÄ

Photos: Royal Caribbean International 6 seatec 1/2010 All Hail Oasis OASIS OF THE SEAS IS STUNNING THE WORLD The debut of the new ruler of the waves has left the world in awe. Oasis of the Seas, the biggest and the brightest cruise ship in the world, is now in full swing, running a boat-load after boatload of people around Caribbean. Performing seven-night cruises only, the floating city is expected to attract over 312,000 passengers annually.

he naming ceremony – or festival, reT ally – of the Oasis took place on 30 November, 2009, in Miami. There was an elaborate maritime celebration designed especially for “the word’s most revolutionary cruise ship,” as the proud owner, Royal Caribbean International, is fond of saying. As the position of the queen of the seven seas warrants, the ceremony was far from grey: instead of the traditional godmother, the vessel had seven celebrity godmothers – with international superstars Gloria Estefan, Daisy Fuentes and Michelle Kwan in the mix – presiding over the festivities. The celebration took place throughout the seven signature neighborhoods onboard the ship, culminating – of course – with the traditional Champagne bottle breaking ceremony. Promptly afterwards, there was a stunning fireworks display in the AquaTheater, the ship’s dazzling oceanfront theater. WHATEVER YOU WANT Marking the finale of 10 days of preview sailings, Royal Caribbean spared no effort in order to properly launch the “most exciting product the industry has ever seen.” The name-giving ceremony coincided with a one-night inaugural celebration-fundraiser to benefit the non-profit Make-AWish Foundation. Again, it was a celebrities’ galore with such megastars as NBA legend Michael Jordan among the VIPs. Royal Caribbean has every right to be proud of the newest addition to the fleet, since it seems that the ship itself is a true testament to the imagination and innovation of its designers and builders. Oasis of the Seas introduces a plethora of unique industry “firsts” including the neighborhood concept – seven main themed areas providing guests with the opportunity to seek out experiences based on their “personal style, preference or mood”. Or to put it differently: whatever strikes your fancy, the ‘hoods will deliver it. Within these seven neighborhoods – Central Park, Boardwalk, the Royal Promenade, Pool & Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center, Entertainment Place and Youth Zone – are extraordinary elements such as the first living park at sea or an amphitheater-style theater that serves as a pool by day. For those with bigger wallets, there are 28 multilevel urban-style loft suites boasting floor-to-ceiling windows and offering unprecedented views. For daredevils, there is a thrilling seatec 1/2010 7

zip line that races diagonally nine-decks above an open-air atrium. Nostalgia-lovers are sure to visit the original, handcrafted carousel of the dreamy Boardwalk. For gourmet enthusiasts, there are 24 different eating places to choose from – and even a wiz kid chef, Keriann Von Raesfeld, a 23-year old “culinary phenom”. BIGGER THAN LIFE It seems that absolutely nothing is small about the Oasis of the Seas. The vessel 8 seatec 1/2010 Photos: Royal Caribbean International spans 16 decks, encompasses 225,282 gross registered tons, carries 5,400 guests at double occupancy, and features 2,700 staterooms. Royal Caribbean lovingly refers to the ship as “our floating nation” which may be a bit over-the-top – but looking at the purchasing power of some of the patrons (with rumors of Madonna flying around), the metaphor seems apt. In fact, the ship is so big that $75 million has been spent on tripling the size of the Port Everglades terminal at Fort Lauderdale from where she sails, and new docks have been built around the Caribbean to properly berth the vessel. Even visiting cruise journalists – who have seen it all twice – have been blown away. Due to the vessel’s gargantuan size, it is easy enough to forget that you’re on a (moving) ship on an ocean. The technology created to move and plan for the masses is nothing short of amazing, wrote one reporter. “You would be suffering from severe synapse deficiency not to be dazed by the scope and scale of the Oasis ‘wow’,” gushed another. And: “Every superlative to describe the ship is on target.” Richard Fain, Royal Caribbean International’s chairman and CEO, summed it up pretty well: “Until you get onboard you don’t realise how it all came together; the grandeur of it.” The maiden voyage took place on 5 December. Royal Caribbean has been careful to choose ports where Oasis could dock directly and not have to tender guests ashore. Current ports include Nassau, St.

Turku: Birthplace of Oasis Oasis of the Seas has been subject to intense media attention. The unprecedented success story has resulted in a situation where many parties are announcing themselves as the “mother” of the grand vessel. Recent article in The Korea Times, for instance, listed the Oasis of the Seas as the “peak” of Korean shipbuilding. n Turku, Finland, the move has not gone I unnoticed. Marketing Manager Juha Elo from Turku Region Development Centre comments that the biggest cruise ships in the world are made in the Turku shipyard – and this includes both Oasis-class vessels, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, as well as the previous Freedom-class ships. STX, the owner of the Turku shipyard, is of course a Korean company, but it was Finnish top expertise that designed and built the Oasis. Combined, the two giant vessels bring 12,000 working years to the region. From time to time, there are speculations about the Koreans shifting cruise ship operations to South Korea, but Elo believes that it is not so easy to copy down the winning formula. “The cruise ships are created as a part of maritime cluster network effort, with about 500 Turku Region companies participating in the process. This network can hardly be moved to Korea or anyplace else.” According to Elo, continuity and collaboration will remain key factors for success for the maritime cluster. The Turku shipyard has been struck by the global recession and as of yet, no new orders have been confirmed. However, the Finnish officials have engaged in extensive supportive actions to make sure that shipyard operations will continue in Turku. ”In this city, ships have been built for 300 years and this is not the first time when the going gets tough,” Elo adds. ? seatec 1/2010 9

Maarten, Labadee, and St. Thomas. Eventually, Falmouth, Jamaica will be added along with Costa Maya, Mexico. Other ports are expected to build facilities to accommodate the Oasis-class ships over time. MADE IN FINLAND In Turku, Finland – the birthplace of Oasis – the celebrations have been considerably more subdued. Still, the grand effort received accolades of the highest order 10 seatec 1/2010 in November as STX Finland was awarded the first prize in the Quality Innovation of the Year Competition for the design and construction of the Oasis of the Seas. The award was presented by Tarja Halonen, President of Finland. Martin Landtman, the president of STX Finland Oy and Toivo Ilvonen, project manager for Oasis class, received the award on behalf of the company. Years of systematic development work and continuous improvement of the operations were cited as reasons for the prestigious award. The quality of the innovation was assessed with respect to customer perspective, profitability, novelty value, exploitability and learning. The design and construction of the Oasis of the Seas earned high marks from each sector of the criteria. Martin Landtman stated that the company was both proud and happy to receive the award. “It is our understanding that of all the shipyards in the world only STX Finland Oy, in cooperation with the Finnish maritime cluster, has been able to build a product like the Oasis of the Seas,” said Landtman. He went on to add that focus on innovations in the sector has created a strong base for the industry in Finland and for future operations as well. Toivo Ilvonen emphasised that this kind of performance is only possible due to cooperation between effectively operating enterprises within the maritime network: the big picture is technically so extensive and complex that no player alone can accomplish it. “The client’s strong trust and cooperation have had a significant impact on accomplishing this tremendous end product.” ALLURE GOT NEXT Still, the Oasis project is far from complete: the sister ship of Oasis, named Allure of the Seas, is very much under construction, and will be completed by the end of the year. The project has managed to sail through the turbulent economy unscathed – on 21 December, Royal Caribbean Cruises announced it has arranged commitments for unsecured financing in the amount of up to $ 1.13 billion or 80 percent of the contract price of Allure of the Seas. The facility will be 95 percent guaranteed by Finnvera, the official export credit agency of Finland, and amortises over 12

One of the companies involved in the giant undertaking was Kaefer which has a wealth of experience from luxury cruise ships. “We have worked with Voyager and Freedom class ships as well,” confirms Kristiina Ketola from Kaefer. Kaefer Oy has delivered Solarium areas for all previous RCCL ships built in Turku shipyard. The one delivered for Oasis of the Seas is the biggest ever at 4,500 m2. The state-of-the-art Solarium area represents innovative thinking also in the sense that the location was optimised: the Solarium was realised in the front part of the vessel which is best suited for this kind of activity. “Previously, the Solarium areas have > Pa P rksi si s de g al alle le l ry > Co Coac ac a h sh shop op > Vi Vint nt n ag ages es res es esta ta taur ur uran an a t > Gi Giov ovan an anni ni’s ’s ttab ab able le rres es esta ta t ur u an ant been placed in the middle of the ship. This new location gives passengers a breathtaking view from the windows,” explains Ketola. The ten-person crew of Kaefer was hard at work on Oasis all the way to the finish line, due the last minute modifications wanted by end client RCCL. The Oasis Solarium area has already attracted more than its share of praise – many people feel that it is the number one upgrade on the ship alongside the Promenade and Central Park. Kaefer also worked on the VIP solarium area. The 700 square metre area located inside the Solarium is off-limits to all passengers, except those lucky ones living in the luxury loft suites on Deck 17. In addition to Solarium excellence, Kaefer delivered several special restaurants and shops located in the Central Photo: Royal Caribbean International Park. Now, of course, the same operations are carried out on sister ship Allure of the Seas: “Allure will be a lot easier to do, since we know what to expect now,” says Ketola. ?

years. BNP Paribas, Citi, Nordea Bank and SEB have each committed to provide 25 percent of the financing and each has a seven year put option. The company has an option of a floating or fixed rate of interest. One month prior to settling the finances, on 20 November, Allure reached its natural element as the valves of the shipyard’s dry dock were turned on and the vessel was launched. The hard-working crew at STX Finland is certainly wasting no time, keeping in mind that Oasis of the Seas was handed over to the owners at the end of October. REPEAT MIRACLE According to Toivo Ilvonen, the Allure of the Seas is just as complex – all things considered – as its predecessor. However, a sister ship is more straightforward to produce since it is a part of a series and the design work has already been completed. “Both in its innovativeness and other features, the Allure of the Seas is the twin of the Oasis of the Seas, excluding some colour and material changes,” Ilvonen explains. The project has progressed on schedule, and presently over 60% of the work has been finished. Once the Allure of the Seas is moored at the outfitting quay, the next step will be interior outfitting. CEO Landtman perceives the Oasis concept to be one of the key strengths of the company while STX Finland is further reinforcing its global position as the leading builder of large passenger vessels. ?

Special Order Only FINNISH SPECIALISED SHIPS EXPERTISE RANGES FROM ICEBREAKERS TO NAVY VESSELS In addition to high-profire luxury cruise ships, Finnish shipyards have a long tradition of building highly specialised vessels. The most recent example of this is the November contract for construction of a Polar Supply and Research Vessel, with South African Department of Environmental Affairs as the customer and Rauma shipyard of STX Europe as the manufacturer. 14 seatec 1/2010 he ship has a price tag of approximateT ly EUR 116 million and will bring some 600 man-years of work. The ship will be delivered in the spring of 2012. The ship will function as a multi-purpose vessel, serving, among other things, as a supply vessel, research vessel, icebreaker, expedition vessel, as well as a passenger ship. Mr. Timo Suistio, Director of the Rauma shipyard, says that the ship must feature many capabilities since it will work in extremely challenging conditions, performing a wide range of tasks. The Polar Supply and Research Vessel will be used to carry scientists and research equipment for the South African National Antarctic Programme in the sea area between South Africa, the Antarctic islands and the Antarctica. The ship can spend several months out at sea and it also acts as a mobile laboratory. Scientists can also conduct various marine research onboard the ship. DIVERSE PACKAGE Furthermore, the vessel keeps continuous record of weather data for meteorological institutions around the world. The vessel has a shelter and landing area for two Puma class helicopters and it will feature laboratories, a gym, a library, and a small hospital. The ice-strengthened vessel will be approximately 134 metres long and it will

Page 15

have accommodation for a crew of 45 and some 100 researchers or passengers. The bid for the new expedition ship was a long and hard competition process. Involved in the final round of the race there were the Dutch company Damen, Spanish Astillero Barreras and Keppel Singmarine from Singapore. Of these shipyards, the customer considered STX Finland’s offer the best in terms of both technical solutions and price. According to Suistio, the expertise of Finnish shipyards as builders of demanding Arctic and Antarctic vessels is well known in South Africa. “One must have familiarity with Arctic conditions in able to be successful in this kind of a project. In the Antarctic, the formation of ice is quite intense and the winds can be extremely harsh.” South African Department of Environmental Affairs is a demanding customer, since the ambitious National Antarctic Programme turned 50 years old last year. The new vessel is needed to operate between Cape Town and Antarctica since the existing ship was deemed too small for the expanding operations. FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE Henry Valentine, Environmental Affairs Director (Antarctica and Islands), comments that allocating this level of funding for the new vessel ? despite the demanding economic situation ? reflects the South AfPhotos: STX Europe rican Government’s commitment to the South African National Antarctic Programme. “The new ship, apart from its supply function, will be a catalyst to rebuild the deep-sea oceanography capacity in South Africa,” Valentine says, adding that this is expected to attract participation of international scientists and researchers, as well. Through broad collaboration, one can significantly contribute to research projects addressing new challenges ? for instance, Climate Change research. Timo Suistio says that the trade agreement is of great importance both for STX Finland’s Rauma shipyard and the trade relations between Finland and South Africa in general. seatec 1/2010 15

Page 17

“Furthermore, the agreement will naturally have a positive effect on the employment at the Rauma shipyard.” The design work on the new research vessel has already commenced and the ship will enter production in September 2010. The ship will be delivered to the South African Department of Environmental Affairs in spring 2012. MASTERING ICE Dealing with ice, of course, is the forte of Finnish specialised ships expertise. About 60 percent of the world’s icebreakers have been designed or built by STX Europe and Finnish shipyards have had a key role in this. The STX Europe’s knowledge of ice technology is unparalleled and the company unique expertise in new purpose-built solutions, such as multipurpose ice-breakers, the double-acting ship (DAS) concept for icebreakers, tankers and supply vessels. The double-acting vessel concept means the ship travels bow-first in icefree conditions and approaches ice sternfirst using azimuthing electric propulsion. A recent example of this Fesco Sakhalin which provides icebreaking and support operations to the Sakhalin offshore project. This combined icebreaker, offshore supply and standby vessel of Far Eastern Shipping Company (Fesco) is one of the most sophisticated and versatile ships ever built for arctic operations. The Fesco Sakhalin also has fire-fighting and rescue capability and is fitted with high-tech equipment for oil spill recovery. Rauma shipyard delivered the vessel in 2005. DAS RULES According to Suistio, the South African vessel will not be a double acting, since the conditions do not require DAS. Still, he believes that double acting capabilities will be in demand in the future as offshore oil and gas activities are entering icy waters. “Azimuthing abilities are needed seatec 1/2010 17

Page 18

when one operates in proximity to offshore platforms and precise steering is required. The DAS concept yields undeniable benefits in this area.” Offshore platforms are often at risk of being surrounded by grounded ice rubble. Other innovative solutions include icebreakers for assistance of tankers during loading operations, supply vessels with ice breaking capabilities and even ice breaking tankers. Suistio sees that the present development really started with Akademik Fedorov, a Russian scientific diesel-electric research vessel, back in the late 1980s. The flagship of the Russian polar research fleet 18 seatec 1/2010 was built in Rauma for the Soviet Union, starting operations in October 1987. The ship is still very much active, making news in August 2007 as it sailed in the path of an icebreaker on the way to the North Pole. NAVAL TRADITION Rauma expertise covers also navy solutions. During the recent years, the yard has delivered four Hamina-class fast surface combatant vessels for Finnish Navy. The latest, Pori, was delivered in June 2006. The first Hamina-class vessel, Hamina, was built in 1998, and the second of the series, Tornio, was delivered in May 2003. Third sister ship, Hanko, was delivered in June 2005. With a length of 51 metres, the vessel type features aluminium construction and also light weight composite materials are used, e.g. in the superstructure. The propulsion system is two water jets, which give the vessel a speed of over 30 knots. Timo Suistio acknowledges that there haven’t been orders for new navy ships in a while, but is relatively optimistic that there is more to come: “We have enjoyed very good cooperation with the Navy over the years.” ?

Renotech specialists have extensive experience of fire safe materials in cruise vessels “When designing the ship interior it is important to be aware of material properties and behaviour of materials during the fire,” say Managing Director of Renotech Mr. Juhani Laaksonen and President Mr. Bob Talling. B oth men, partners in the Renotech Ltd, have scientific materials study background from a Finnish University of Technology. They also have a long practical experience of building materials and fire safe materials in cruise vessels. Latest reference is the Oasis of the Seas. Renotech holds five IMO certificates for non-combustible materials and two certificates for low flame spread materials. “Our most recent innovation is a method to transfer high quality photographs (RenoImage) to almost any substrate. The substrate can be flat, curved Juhani Laaksonen shows the result of transferring a photograph on a gypsum ball. 20 seatec 1/2010 Juhani Laaksonen and Bob Talling have created, together with their artist, fire safe gypsum reliefs to the luxury cruise vessels. or irregular and highly three-dimensional. RenoImage can be used on various gypsum and concrete mouldings or on metal surface to give the real look,” they note. The company’s range of silicate adhesives is continuously used in fireproofing composites like fire doors and mineral wool based products. “Fireproofing of steel is one of our growing business areas. Additionally, we provide penetration seals and fireproofing paints.” The men add that gypsum is one of the best materials in the company’s solutions because of its versatility and high content of chemically bound water to be released during fire. “Artwork should at least have low flame spread behavior and minimal content of organic material. A specifying architect should take his responsibility not to specify suggest materials which have not been tested according to the newest IMO method. Never place plastic based materials, moulding or decorations up in the ceiling and never specify materials, paint and coatings with unknown burning characteristics for any structure. This is one of many means by which passenger safety can be increased.” SURSHIP: SOLID SAFETY Talling underlines the importance of the work of SURSHIP project. SURSHIP is a cooperative research project built to improve technologies for prediction of risks, safety and survivability of ships and to apply the knowledge into designs and rules. The comprehensive and coordinated cooperation in the project strengthens the European maritime industry’s ability and competitiveness. It creates an improved know-how of a more generic holistic ship safety approach which influences all stakeholders: ship owners, ship builders, suppliers, national administrations and International Maritime Organization (IMO). ?

The Costa Deliziosa is Costa’s newest flagship, along with her sister ship, the Costa Luminosa. Costa Deliziosa, Costa’s 15th fleet member, is nearing completion at Fincantieri’s Marghera (Venice) shipyard. Costa Deliziosa promises to offer the most exclusive and innovative features in the entire fleet, being specifically designed for Costa’s demanding clientele. The Deliziosa will feature similar facilities and interior design to the Luminosa but will have her own décor. Both ships carry specially commissioned artwork in the public areas. T he Deliziosa features avant-garde design and skilfully uses premium materials, such as various types of marbles, granite, mother-of-pearl and Murano glass, stucco applied by spatula using the technique known as “spatolato veneziano” and other decorative interior finishes including “parchment scroll” lamé, refined Zebrano wood, Wenge timber and stylish polished and glazed steel.

Samsara amenities include a thalassotherapy pool, tea ceremony, relaxation area, sauna, steam room, Samsara restaurant and private consultation to develop a personal programme. In addition, there is a variety of entertainment options onboard including a 4D cinema; roller skating track; the latest generation golf simulator with an outdoor putting green; a Grand Prix race car driving simulator with the same software and technology used by the F1 champion drivers in training; “PlayStation World,“ an area onboard dedicated exclusively to 24 seatec 1/2010 PlayStation3, as well as the “PlayStation on demand” cabin service. On top of the more exotic entertainment, there are three swimming pools in a resort-style area, four Jacuzzis, a threestorey theatre, casino (Casino Gaius), disco (Disco Sharazad), dance club and piano bar (Piano Bar Excite), internet point, four restaurants (Club Deliziosa, the Samsara restaurant, Albatros restaurant and the Muscadins buffet restaurant), library and a shopping centre. There is also the Cafe Sugar and Chocolate bar, an indoor coffee bar serving hot beverages, cakes, chocolate and pastries. Bar areas include Grand Bar Mirablis, Alcazar, Vanilla, Tabc Blonde and Delle Delizie. DOUBLE CHALLENGE According to the project management staff, the biggest challenge of the construction was the “temporal contiguity” of the deliveries of Costa Deliziosa and Costa Luminosa, completed at Marghera last April. The shipyard has stayed busy implementing all the new ideas and modifications that were requested by the client throughout the process. Another challenge was to conceive and enforce a new design of the public areas in a short time, thereby giving the passengers a definite “wow-effect” the moment they step onboard. On 8 December, the Costa Deliziosa successfully completed her official technical trials in the open sea. The sea trials put the ship through her paces for the first time, with a series of running tests on the ship’s systems, machinery and engines. After the demanding trials, the Costa Deliziosa returned to the outfitting wharf yard at Marghera for her final touches before entering service. Photos: FINCANTIERI - Cantieri Navali Italiani S.p.A.

DELIVERY ON SCHEDULE According to the project management, the final activities mainly concern the furnishing of pax cabins, public areas and open decks. The progress of the works on the ship has been on schedule, if not ahead schedule, so that, by the end of December, Fincantieri was in the position to deploy the theatre for some company events. The Costa Deliziosa will be ready for delivery on January 29, 2010, while her inauguration will take place in Dubai on February 23 during her Grand Maiden Cruise, which departs from Savona on February 5. The inaugural event promises to be an unforgettable occasion combining traditional Arabian enchantment, reminiscent of “A Thousand and One Nights,” with Costa’s traditional Italian style. This also marks the first time the international locale has hosted a cruise ship naming ceremony. seatec 1/2010 25

After the maiden voyage, Costa Deliziosa will sail seven-day cruises in the Arabian Gulf visiting the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Bahrain. In the 2010 summer season, the ship will sail from Copenhagen for seven-day cruises to the Norwegian fjords and the Baltic capitals. HIGH FIVE The Costa Deliziosa is part of the Italian company’s fleet expansion programme, with five new ships launched between 2009 and 2012, for a total investment worth EUR 2.4 billion. The Costa Luminosa, Costa Pacifica and Costa Deliziosa will be followed by Costa Favolosa, due for delivery in summer 2011, and Costa Fascinosa, which will make her debut in spring 2012. All five ships are Italian builds commissioned from Fincantieri, each one requiring the labour of nearly 3,000 people, comprising both the shipyard’s own employees and those of about 500 contracted suppliers, most of which are Italian firms. The five new cruisers represent a 50% increase in the capacity of the Costa fleet, ranked fifth in the world and number one in Europe. In 2012, the fleet will consist of seventeen vessels with a total capacity of 46,400 passengers. In recent years, Costa has been upgrading its fleet as well. Costa completed the upgrade of five ships in early 2009 including the Costa Serena, Costa Europa, Costa Atlantica, Costa Romantica and Costa Concordia. Costa Cruises is a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation, which encompasses 11 cruise brands including Cunard, P&O and Holland America. ANCONA ORIGINS The keel of the 92,700t Costa Deliziosa was laid at Fincantieri’s yard in Ancona, Italy. The keel and first section were then towed to the Marghera yard in Venice in July 2008 to continue construction. Anoth26 seatec 1/2010

er landmark in the construction occurred in March 2009 when the Deliziosa was floated out for the first time. The 12-deck ship will be able to carry 2,829 passengers in double occupancy in 1,130 staterooms of which 718 (68%) will have a private balcony. There will also be 50 suites with private balconies, 52 staterooms with direct access to the Samsara Spa and 180 inside cabins. There will be 1,050 crew members onboard and the majority will be Italian. The ship is 292 metres long and has a beam of 32.30 metres. The ship will operate at a cruising speed of 21.6 kt and will have a maximum speed of 23.6 kt. ? SAMI J. ANTEROINEN 28 seatec 1/2010 Photo: Costa Crociere S.p.A.

German Yards Strengthen Focus on Special-Purpose Ships to Approach New Markets In 2009, Germany’s shipbuilding industry was severely hit by the impact of the international economic crisis and the global collapse of shipping markets. But despite a significant production downturn and declining order volumes the year was not an exclusively bleak one – quite a number of yards succeeded to increase their efficiency, to strengthen their technologic leadership and to approach new markets with innovative products. The cruise ship M/V “AIDAblu” delivered by Meyer Werft in Papenburg in February 2010. 32 seatec 1/2010

T he impact of the global economic downturn – which rapidly turned into a crisis of the maritime industry as well – had a severe impact on Germany’s shipyards industry already during the first three quarters of 2009. According to data facilitated by the German Shipbuilding and Ocean Industries Association (Verband für Schiffbau und Meerestechnik e.V.; VSM) only twelve new orders worth 387 million euros were received between 1st January and 30th September 2009, against 46 contracts worth some 2.89 billion euros recorded during the whole of 2008. As per 30th September, Germany’s yards had 118 newbuilding orders in their books, corresponding to an accumulated contract value of 10,133 billion euros and a total tonnage equivalent of 2,024,000 GT. Some further orders – merely for special-purpose ships – were obtained during the fourth quarter of 2009, but at the same time Germany’s yards had to deal with more contract cancellations than most other shipbuilding nations. Already during the year’s first nine months 27 orders worth 1.3 billion euros had been cancelled. VSM estimates the German shipyards’ accumulated turnover for 2009 to be less than four billion euros, clearly less than in 2008 (4.4 billion 34 seatec 1/2010 Photo: W.D.R. Photo: W.D.R.

As a result of contract cancellations and declining order volumes the annual production is estimated to fall below three billion euros in both 2010 and 2011. The precarious market situation has already made an impact on the number of employees working in the shipbuilding and ocean industries segment; it declined by about 14% – corresponding to 3,400 full time equivalents – during the three quarters of 2009. By 30th SeptemPhoto: HADAG A drawing of the M/V “St. Pauli”, the first ‘Typ 2000’ public transport ferry delivered for operation in Hamburg back in 1997. ber the industry’s total staff amounted to around 22,800. FOCUS ON SPECIAL-PURPOSE SHIPS Among the main reasons for the current crisis of global shipbuilding are significant overcapacities generated in Far Eastern countries – particularly in China and South Korea – during the past half decade. In response to booming shipping markets, numerous new yards entered into business, merely in order to produce serial container ships. In response to this competition Germany’s yards have gradually shifted their focus towards the production of more sophisticated special-purpose ships such as cruise vessels, ferries, RoRo-ships, special tankers and luxury yachts. The current order book clearly reveals this trend: By 30th September 2009 ferries, cruise ships and yachts accounted for 57% and RoRo-ships for another 16% of the total compensated tonnage of orders. In contrast the previously dominating share of container ship contracts had reduced to just 14%.

Page 35

Among the shipyards which have successfully responded to the new market environment is Hamburg-based J.J. Sietas, Germany’s eldest shipbuilding enterprise with roots dating back to 1635. A year ago, the situation looked less than promising for the family-owned group and its over 1,000 employees: Sietas Group (which comprises J.J. Sietas KG Schiffswerft GmbH & Co. and three subsidiaries) was widely associated with container ship building, applied a traditional production layout and had suffered severe losses both in 2007 and 2008. SIETAS – ACHIEVING THE TURNAROUND On 1st March 2009 Hinrich Sietas, the yard’s owner and longstanding Managing Director, handed the helm over to a new Managing Board comprising Rüdiger Fuchs – a former senior Airbus manager – and Rüdiger Wolf. Within few months, the company underwent deep restructuring: the product portfolio was reshuffled with a focus on special-purpose ships rather than container vessels, costs were reduced and the production changed to an industrial concept facilitating shorter processing times and higher productivity. The new concept turned into an instant success: already at the end of April, Sietas obtained a contract for a doubleend commuter ferry from a domestic client, Wyker Dampfschiffs-Reederei FöhrAmrum GmbH (W.D.R.). The new ship – able to carry up to 1,200 passengers and 75 cars – will commence operation as M/V “Uthlande” on the Dagebüll-FöhrAmrum route linking the German mainland to two North Sea Islands in time for the 2010 summer season. “In the Sietas shipyard, we found an ideal partner for this project,” says Axel Meynköhn, MD of W.D.R., “the yard adapted quickly to our requirements, and already in the tender phase Sietas was able to optimise our drafted plans for the ferry in a highly impressive way. That sealed the deal for us.” Rüdiger Fuchs calls the W.D.R. contract “a symbol of the new beginning at Sietas,” adding that “ferries are an excellent fit for the new corporate strategy” with regard to its new focus on ships requiring specialist design and product know-how. With the M/V “Schwentine” SSB Spezialschiffbau Oortkaten managed to sell its first sophisticated public transport ferry design outside Kiel. Few weeks after this deal, Sietas Group obtained another contract for two heavy-lift ships from SAL-Schifffahrtskontor Altes Land. Although the yard is still in the middle of its redevelopment process, Sietas perspectives look quite encouraging again – its order volume has been stabilised and expanded, and the forthcoming delivery of M/V “Uthlande” promises to provide Sietas with an important reference supporting its further expansion in the ferries segment. SSB – WEATHERING THE STORM The construction of passenger ferries has developed into a success recipe also for another German shipyard, SSB Spezialschiffbau Oortkaten GmbH based at the Oortkaten harbour in Hamburg. Employing a staff of about 20, the small yard was established from the remains of Schiffswerft Heinrich Grube, a company which had collapsed back in 1999. The founder of SSB, Klaus Schlünzen, focused on the construction of minor special-purpose ships – mainly vessels for authorities and passenger ferries for local Photo: Schlepp- und Fährgesellschaft Kiel seatec 1/2010 35

public transport – on inland waterways from the very start. This approach has succeeded to secure the yard’s competitiveness and long-term viability. One of SSB’s most successful references is ‘Typ 2000’, a passenger ferry design created by HADAG Seetouristik und Fährdienst AG back in the 1990s for operation on waterborne public transport services in Hamburg Harbour. The first unit of this successful series, the M/V “St. Pauli”, was delivered to HADAG in July 1997. Since then, eleven sister vessels have followed, including ultimately the M/V “Harburg” in November 2009. With one exception, all units of the series were built at Grube Werft and subsequently SSB. While many technical details were improved, the main design characteristics of ‘Typ 2000’ have remained unchanged: each of the 29.9 m long ships carries up to 250 passengers for whom 124 seats are provided in an attractive salon and another 60 on the open deck. All units of ‘Typ 2000’ are operated by a single crew member; after arrival alongside a landing stage the access gangway is hydraulically lowered and during disembarkation/embarkation monitored by means of a CCTV system. SSB Spezialschiffbau Oortkaten GmbH has obtained its ‘Typ 2000’ newbuilding contracts in sharp competition with other yards (as many as 19 bids were received for the series’ tenth ship) not only as a result of attractive pricing, but also thanks to the outstanding quality and reliability of the units delivered so far. Service intervals are quite long; the first extensive shipyard inspection of a ‘Typ 2000’ vessel is usually required only five years (corresponding to 25,000 operation hours) after delivery. This excellent record is achieved in spite of tough operational demands caused by very frequent manoeuvring; depending on their route ‘Typ 2000’ ferries may call landing stages in intervals as short as five minutes. Mainly thanks to the attractiveness of 36 seatec 1/2010 Photo: HADAG M/V ”Harburg, the latest ’Typ 2000’ ferry delivered by SSB Spezialschiffbau Oortkaten to HADAG last November. its new ferries, HADAG has been able to increase the number of passengers transported on its Hamburg Harbour ferry services from just over 2.2 million back in 1997 to about 6.8 million in 2008. In July 2007, SSB Spezialschiffbau Oortkaten GmbH delivered a commuter ferry similar to the ‘Type 2000’ design to Schlepp- und Fährgesellschaft Kiel mbH (SFK) for operation on Kiel Fjord. The 24.82 metres long M/V “Schwentine” operates on a 15-minute-route linking two parts of the city of Kiel, carrying 200 passengers at a speed of 12 knots. The ship, which is equipped with two Volvo D7 CTA main engines and two Schottel SRP 110 thrusters, has likewise succeeded in boosting the attractiveness of waterborne public transport and confirms that SSB’s products are suitable for use beyond Hamburg. EUROPE’S PASSENGER SHIPBUILDING EXPERTS Cruise ships and ferries of all sizes will definitely constitute a core business of German yards in future. While Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft and Meyer Werft are among the world market leaders for large cruise vessels, RoPax and RoRo vessels, other ventures – including Sietas and SSB – cater for the market of smaller commuter ferries. Another yard, Schiffs- und Yachtwerft Dresden GmbH, has recently joined the market as well by constructing two 70 metres long commuter ferries carrying up to 1,550 passengers and 60 cars for Mombasa-based Kenya Ferry Services Ltd. M/V “Likoni” and “Kwale”, which will trade on routes in the Mombasa metropolis region, constitute more proof of the German shipbuilding industry’s international competitiveness. The industry association VSM has recently proposed that a ‘ferry scrappage bonus scheme’ for ageing European coastal ferries should be implemented to support the shipbuilding industry in tackling the economic crisis. It is estimated that nearly a third of the respective tonnage trading in Europe is outdated and due for replacement. Drawing a comparison to last year’s car scrap bonus scheme – an initiative launched by the German government in order to stimulate car sales – VSM suggested that a support scheme could be developed to encourage the replacement of old ferries with new efficient and ecofriendly units. ?

Meiko is among the world market leaders for dishwashing systems applied on ships. Meiko – Experts for commercial dishwashing Offenburg-based Meiko Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG is a world leader in the development, manufacturing and distribution of commercial dishwashing systems. Its vast product portfolio is applied in hotels, bars, restaurants, in-flight catering plants, hospitals as well as on numerous ships all around the globe. 38 seatec 1/2010 T otal customer care and continuous product enhancement have been cornerstones of Meiko Maschinenbau’s corporate culture ever since the company started as a small workshop with just five employees back in 1927. “The existence and continuation of the Meiko Group are dependent on the acceptance we find among our customers,” says Burkhard Randel, member of the Managing Board. “Therefore everything we do serves to secure and improve this acceptance and customer loyalty.” This approach – which combines corporate tradition with visionary thinking – has facilitated Meiko’s development into one of the world leaders for commercial dishwashing systems with an overall staff of 1,650 and an annual group turnover exceeding 200 million euros. The company’s main production plant in Offenburg (Germany) has a size of more than 108,000 square meters, and with an export business share of more than 50% its clients are based in virtually every corner of the world.

DISHWASHING EFFICIENCY Meiko’s product range includes machines for stationary dishwashing operations, automatic conveyor type washing machines, integrated dishwashing machines, glassware washing machines and conveying systems. Its great variety of machine sizes and capacities helps Meiko to serve a very wide scope of clients, including mediumsized restaurants and bars as much as large hotels, hospitals and production plants for in-flight catering. All these customers require systems ensuring rapid high-performance cleaning of huge amounts of trays, crockery, cutlery, glassware as well as pots and pans. An example of Meiko’s approach to these demanding requirements is the DV 200.2 PW, an innovative passingthrough machine which is able to wash up to 120 standard-size baskets of dirty ware per hours. Its power wash programme ensures optimum cleaning of even the most difficult ware, such as kitchen implements or pots and pans. For its very large customers Meiko provides fully automatic washing-up plants which can process up to 1,800 tray sets per hour and be operated by just two people – in contrast, conventional dishwashing systems with similar capacities require ten to 15 operators. The heart of Meiko’s fully automatic plants is a clearing, sorting and loading system which separates and handles all different sorts of ware that are found on a tray: First, a magnetic cutlery lifting device with an incorporated demagnetising device removes all cutlery items and transfers them onto a dedicated track. Subsequently, all crockery items are removed from the trays and forwarded to a pre-washing station while the trays themselves continue on a dedicated track towards their own washing station. All cutlery items as well as the trays are automatically turned around on rotating hedgehog-type extended finger belts in order to remove loose waste such as food remains, napkins, etc. Crockery items are subsequently sorted and distributed onto different tracks, with plates being gently forwarded onto a twin cord conveyor belt which transports them towards the plate stacking device. Meiko’s dishwashing systems – which constitute the company’s core activity – are complemented by two other product lines which have likewise gained global reputation: Waste treatment installations are tailored to convert problematic food waste into bio-waste which can be handled and disposed more easily. Eventually, Meiko’s bedpan washers and associated hospital sluice rooms equipment have set standards in hospital patients and nursing staff hygiene for several decades. MEIKO MARINE In recent years Meiko Maschinenbau has systematically extended its presence in the maritime segment and successfully turned into a global market leader supplying cargo ships, ferries and cruise vessels. Particularly in the passenger shipping segment its products can be found on most newly delivered ships. Among Meiko’s most recent and at the same time most spectacular references is the M/S “Oasis of the Seas” which was delivered by STX Europe to Royal Caribbean International in October 2009. This cruise ship – which accommodates up to 5,400 passengers in lower beds – has been equipped with a total of 128 Meiko dishwashing machines as well as a two-line vacuum food waste disposal system connecting 22 feed units in the ship’s galley areas to a central waste handling facility. Other recent references include the German-built M/V “AIDA Blu” and “AIDA Luna” (each of the two ships is equipped with seven different products from the Meiko dishwashing systems range), all of Color Line’s new ferries (“Color Fantasy”, “Color Magic”, “Color Superspeed 1” and “Color Superspeed 2”), Brittany Ferries’ new “Armorique” as well as Norwegian Cruise Line’s 2009-built “Norwegian Epic”. The maritime reference list also features Celebrity Cruises’ five newbuildings constructed at Meyer Werft between 2008 and 2012: The “Celebrity Solstice” and her sisters are equipped with a total of nine different products from Meiko’s portfolio, including – apart from dishwashing systems – also a food waste treatment installation. ?

Kemppi Introduces the Wise ™ approach to Welding The Finnish welding solutions provider, Kemppi Oy, directs the way to Wise welding with its new modified arc welding processes. They are optional expert functions available for Kemppi’s new FastMig Pulse and KempArc Pulse welding equipment. T he Wise software products help meet productivity and quality requirements in shipbuilding, offshore industry, automotive manufacture and various other welding industries. The software can either be pre-loaded to new Kemppi equipment or added later using DataGun, a compact automatic field-program device for delivering Kemppi’s software programs and updates. These software products can be used in manual as well as automated welding. They are divided into two groups to either influence the efficiency of the welding performance or to provide new welding process techniques that would be impossible to achieve with the standard MIG/MAG welding process. There are three Wise processes that are particularly useful when welding carbon steel structures in shipbuilding industry, the WiseRoot, the WisePenetration and WiseFusion. 42 seatec 1/2010 Standard 1-MIG WisePenetration 25 mm 30 mm WisePenetration accommodates stick out variation and improves weld quality WisePenetration is designed to produce consistent quality welding in structures where welding gun positioning is challenging. It is an optional function for delivering constant welding power regardless of changes in the stick out length. This process is suitable for manual and automated synergic MIG/MAG welding and is designed for long and short cable lengths between the power source and the wire-feed unit. WiseRoot is an effective tailored cold arc process for root pass welding, designed for the effective closure of root joint areas and also to take into consideration gap tolerances created by poor joint fitup. It produces excellent root passes, and is three times faster in root closure than TIG welding and 15 % faster than normal MIG/MAG welding. With WiseRoot there is no need for ceramic root supports or rings, and it is easy to learn and use. It also saves time on rework costs, reduces weld volume in thick materials, thereby making the work much faster and reducing filler material costs. WiseFusion is a modified arc process with extra benefits for shipyard and offshore applications where special materials like aluminium and stainless steel are used, and pulsed MIG process is used for best welding results. In addition to Wise products, Kemppi offers also a wider scope solution for maximising welding efficiency and productivity. With Kemppi Arc System you can collect and analyse welding data to be used for adjusting and refining the welding operations in your production process. The Kemppi web site offers more information about these and other Wise products and the Kemppi Arc System welding analysing solution. ? More information: www.kemppi.com 35 mm

Global technical excellence closer to shipowners closer to shipyards wherever you are www.bureauveritas.com www.veristar.com Move Forward with Confidence Bureau Veritas Specialist in Ice Classification “I t seems to be a real ice winter after several mild ones,” says the Chief of Bureau Veritas Finland Mr. Olli Kaljala in January 2010 watching the ice report on his laptop screen. This is a good situation for the company whose expertise includes especially ice classification. “Baltic Queen, Baltic Princess, Romantica, Victoria and Galaxy have been classified by BV and their special characteristics include high ice classification, which means in practice more power in engine room and thicker steel in hull structure.” Bureau Veritas has focused on TallinkSilja ships in the Baltic Sea area. The latest BV classified cruise vessel on European level was MSC Fantasia by STX Europe’s Saint-Nazaire shipyard. “We have also classified icebreaking vessels for Caspian sea oil industry. There we have co-operation with Aker Arctic which has special know-how in model testing in ice and design of icebreaking vessels,” Kaljala notes. “Energy efficiency and environmental friendliness are key issues in maritime business. For operating in difficult weather conditions, the ships have to have high ice classifications and capability to operate in heavy ice conditions. Bureau Veritas has experience in all these speciality areas.” Olli Kaljala checking the ice report of the Baltic Sea on his laptop screen. Bureau Veritas has 50 people in the Finnish organisation and nearly 20 are involved in maritime. Out of this number, 9 people are working in the Turku office conducting plan approval. ?

Baltic 152 Pink Gin – A Stunning Superyacht The main philosophy behind the Baltic 152 Pink Gin was to create a yacht with conservative long overhangs and with a styling that could be classified as a traditional clean look. Simplicity dominated throughout the entire design, with a special emphasis focusing on sound insulation and smooth operations. 44 seatec 1/2010 O ne of the key factors that influence a Super Yacht’s performance and handling characteristics is the displacement. The displacement of this yacht is a fraction of what is “normal” for this size of yacht. The only way to achieve this was to use high technology and the best materials available, plus also to develop a keel design with an ample sailing draft but with the possibility to reduce the keel draft to allow access into harbours. This styling was combined with the highest technology and carried out by Baltic Yachts, Naval Architect judel/vrolijk & co and Interior Designer Design Unlimited. Baltic Yachts’ new purpose-built production building is 80 metre long enabling the yard to take on more ambitious boat-building projects than ever before. Already the Baltic 197, the so-called Panamax project, is based in the new building. A new project which is also likely to benefit from the new facility is a Baltic 170 Custom, a highperformance cruising boat incorporating a high degree technology, hidden within the lines of a traditional, class design. While Baltic Yachts has never shied away from accepting large-scale projects, the company looks forward that the new facility will attract more customers looking for a boatbuilder of Baltic Yachts‘ pedigree. ?

FREJ MATTSSON, DNV: Recycling of Ships Getting Environmentally Sound In shipbuilding and the shipping world there is a large shift towards better regulation on hazardous materials and environmentally sound way of recycling. “I n order to manage the process from new building to recycling there will be – for each ship to be built – a document worked out, called Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM),” Principal Surveyor Mr. Frej Mattsson from Det Norske Veritas says. “This document will follow the vessel from the new building yard to the recycling yard. International Maritime Organization (IMO) has formed the guidelines of this renewal which will take effect in the coming years. As a conclusion, it may, as an advice, be wise for all involved in the shipping industry to start to plan for the work in connection with their particular interests.” Ship recycling, or scrapping as has been the more common term, has not been widely regulated. However, the Basel Convention generally prohibits its OECD member states from exporting harmful waste to non-OECD countries. “Some administrations, e.g. Finland, interpret this as also being a prohibitation against selling ships for demolition to countries without first removing harmful and hazardous substances and materials. We had recently a related case in Finland,” Mr. Mattsson notes. 48 seatec 1/2010 Photo: Risto Valkeapää IMO FORMED GUIDELINES Since 2001, there have been published guidelines concerning ship recycling. IMO published in March 2004 the “Guideline on Ship Recycling.” This is now an IMO Convention with the name “International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships” and was adopted on May 2009 by 63 member delegates. It was agreed that it will come into force 24 months after the entry-into-force conditions were met. Mainly, these conditions are met when 15 member states, of which the combined merchant fleet is not less than 40 % of the world’s fleet, have ratified the convention. This Convention will provide regulation, for example, on the design, construction, operation and preparation of ships so as to facilitate safe and environmentally sound recycling without compromising safety and operational efficiency of ships. Regulations mean the operation of ship recycling facilities in a safe and environmentally manner. Regulations join also to the establishment of an appropriate enforcement mechanism for ship recycling, incorporate certification and reporting requirements. The objectives for the Convention are first to give guidance to “best practice” in ship recycling process throughout the life cycle of the ship. The second objective is significantly minimise the use of hazardous materials and identify those materi

It should also phase out the impact on workers health, welfare and safety and to protect the environment at the recycling facilities. The regulations are to form one stage in the development of mandatory international regulations. TAKING EFFECT 2013–2016 As it has taken about five years for conventions to be finally ratified, IMO has now set a target on three years. It is thus believed that the convention will take effect between the years 2013 and 2016. IMO urged the member states to start, as a first step, to do the home work in ratifying the convention as soon as possible, then secondly to initiate action to provide technical assistance without waiting for the entry into force and thirdly to initiate action to ensure the effective implementation and enforcement of the convention when it takes effect. ?
