7 overwiev Polish shipbuildig idustry Mixed fortues Durig the year 2005 Polish shipyards completed 30 ships of CGT ad deadweight of toes, at the value of USD 933 millio (all for foreig accout), thus retured to the mai productio level of the years before the crisis. At the ad of 2005 the order book cosisted of 87 uits of CGT ad the value of USD 3168 millio (all for foreig accout). The orderbook cosisted maily of cotaier ships (46 pcs. - over 1 mil. CGT), followed by car carriers ad ro-ro (co-ro) vessels. There is sigificat growth of umber ad value of o-cargo vessels ordered. The itake of ew orders durig the year was moderate - 22 ships of CGT or dwt - i cosequece of high orderig activity i 2004 ad sufficiet backlog of shipyards for comig years. I 2006 cotractig i major Polish ewbuildig yards was also ot too fast, maily due to ucertaity experieced by Polish yards. For the period of 2005, Gdyia Shipyard, Gdask Shipyard ad Szczeci New Shipyard, were cocetratig productio o their best products: - Gdyia Shipyard - car carriers 6600 PTCT ad 2000 PCTC, cotaier ships ad LPG-NH3 carriers, - Gdask Shipyard - cotaier ships 2700 TEU, - Szczeci New Shipyard - cotaier ships TEU, co-ros of CGT ad chemical takers with Duplex steel taks. Gdask Shiprepair Yard Remotowa ad particularly ewbuildig yard Norther Shipyard, member of REMONTOWA Group, are focusig maily o o-cargo vessels of high added value. The productio programme of those two yards cosists of various kids of ferries, achor hadlig, towig & supply vessels, multi-fuctio buoy teders, rapid itervetio vessels, ice breakig emergecy evacuatio vessels, tugs ad fishig vessels. 10 ship of this kid were delivered i 2005 ad 14 are to be completed i This is chage i productio programme ad policies at major ewbuildig yards, that make it hard to fid ay iterestig prototype ewbuildigs. It therefore may seem they have ot much to offer i ew desigs. But they are beefitig from easier productio of ships repeatig i loger series. This improves productivity ad reduces costs. The opposite philosophy was adopted by major force i Polish shiprepair idustry, havig the lio s share of the market - the REM- ONTOWA Group, which icreasigly relies o icome from ew costructio. Buildig smaller vessels, it has to eter iche markets for specialized, more profitable toage. Gdask Shiprepair Yard Remotowa SA regards the year 2005 as a really good oe. Notwithstadig the geeral poor situatio i Polish shipbuildig idustry ad harsh competitio eviromet, Remotowa SA maaged to achieve sales level of PLN 860 millio, which marks over 200 percet icrease over the 2004 result. Also the et profit exceeded the previous years results, at PLN 22 millio i It appears it is possible eve despite the domiatio of prototypes i last years ewbuildig productio portfolio, while ewbuildigs cotributed as much as 32 percet to the Group s sales ad coversios costituted 31 percet of the icome, leavig just slightly above oe third geerated from repairs. The year 2005 saw the costructio of 10 ships at Remotowa, ad its ewbuildigs specialised subsidiary Stoczia Pó³oca (Norther Shipyard). The umber icluded two AHTS offshore tugs, built to prestigious cotract from the world s leadig offshore support vessels operator - US based Tidewater; ferries for Norwegia ad Scotch owers, arctic cotaiership ad moder fishig vessels. Work o aother ie ewbuildigs commeced durig 2005, too. The Group expects to deliver 14 ships durig 2006, icludig iterestig prototypes, eg. small emergecy evacuatio ships for Caspia Sea s Kashaga oilfield project. The REMONTOWA Group, havig its ewbuildig portfolio filled up for 2006 deliveries, was acceptig, at the tur of 2005 ad 2006, orders with plaed deliveries scheduled for Besides the overall icrease i Group s sales, a importat factor is a icreasig share of ewbuildigs i total icome. This tred is about to deepe further to some exted, although the Group does ot give up repair busiess. Last year almost 200 ships uderwet repair works at Remotowa. The sales of the whole Remotowa SA Group, which also icludes ship equipmet maufacturig compaies, was PLN 1.2 billio i Positive outlook for Remotowa s subsidiary focused o ewbuildigs - Norther Shipyard - is facilitated by favorable chages i sales structure with partly outfitted hulls o the decrease ad fully equipped ships for tur-key delivery o the rise. Also proportio of more sophisticated ships, potetially geeratig higher sales value, is also icreasig o the expese of simpler works with lower added value. After the bakruptcy of Stoczia Szczeciska Porta Holdig i 2002 ad crisis of Gdyia Shipyard i , a State backed rescue ad restructurig programmes for those yards ad Gdask Shipyard - member of Gdyia Group - have bee implemeted uder cotrol ad with support of Idustry Developmet Agecy. Restructurig programme of Szczeci New Shipyard has bee successfully completed. The shipyard regaied techical ad fiacial stability as well as bak credibility. The yard is fully owed by State. Restructurig programmes of Gdyia Shipyard ad Gdask Shipyard, although formally cocluded, have bee recogized as icomplete ad implemeted with delay. Gdyia Shipyard has to repay restructured debts ad has got the problems with retarded deliveries ad ot balaced icome ad spedigs. Additioally a icreasig social tesio betwee this mother-yard adgdask Shipyard, bought by Gdyia i 1998, led to demergig i summer, Both yards are State cotrolled, but are ow seekig private ivestors. The cocept of cosolidatio of all three mai shipbuildig yards, forced previously by Idustry Developmet Agecy has bee recogized as ot feasible ad abadoed. I mid of 2005 The Europea Commissio has opeed the ivestigatio of coformity of public support grated to Polish shipbuildig yards with UE rules. This ivestigatio is still uder way ad the results are impatietly awaited ad expected by the ed of this year. Some opiios say this process is frighteig off potetial ivestors. Besides fiacial istability i some of the yards ad lack of fuds for ivestmet i moder techology, the sigle most serious problem affectig Polish yards ow is the exodus of qualified persoel to better payig West Europea coutries, maily Germay, Norway ad the UK. The situatio has forced Polish shipyards to replace at least part of the lost workforce by cheaper welders ad fitters from Ukraie ad eve, icidetally, from North Korea. Piotr B.

The Fiish charterig ad operatios compay Meriaura Oy will add a ew type of multipurpose deck cargo vessels to its fleet. Ordered from a Polish shipyard, Remotowa S.A., the vessels are desiged especially for heavy project cargoes o deck, ad will be built to comply with the Fiish-Swedish ice class I A requiremets. Remotowa will help Meriaura Oy Ltd to achieve its objective to become oe of the leadig trasporters of heavy project cargoes aroud the Baltic Sea. Moder year-roud toage for project cargo trasports at the Baltic Sea ad especially withi the icy Fiish coast has ever existed. With the developmet of this cocept, the possibilities of trasportig differet kids of specialised project cargoes aroud the Baltic Sea will be cosiderably icreased. The cocept developmet has bee made i co-operatio with Aker Yards ad with a etwork of Fiish maritime desigers ad suppliers. Amog others Läsiviivai Oy - primarily resposible for the machiery drawigs, Foreship Oy (hull lies), Wärtsilä Diesel, Rolls-Royce Aquamaster ad Bureau Veritas have bee closely ivolved. The owers hava maaged to obtai R&D support from TEKES (the Fiish Fudig Agecy for Techology ad Iovatio) for the project. The cocept was tured ito practical, detailed desig by Remotowa s i-house ship desig office. I April 2006 Remotowa S.A. siged the cotract with Fiish Owers: OY Gaiamare AB ad Meriaura OY, for the costructio ad delivery of two specialized cargo vessels (icludig oe i optio), with delivery of the vessels scheduled for The first vessel, for which the first steel cuttig already took place i August, will be delivered i summer 2007 for Oy Gaiamare Ab, a part of the Meriaura Group. The order holds a possibility of several additioal vessels. The ivestmet budget is about EUR 14 millio per vessel. The vessel is desiged to carry heavy cargoes o deck ad its mai cargo will be to trasport steel ship blocks for Aker Yards. Aker Yards ad Meriaura Oy have siged a log-term trasportatio cotract for trasportatio of the ship blocks. Each of the vessels is however a truly flexible, multipurpose cargo carrier iteded for the carriage of ships steel sectios ad blocks, heavy equipmet, project cargo modules, cotaiers or rocks, stoes, logs ad timber as deck cargo. The cocept offers also a versio for oil recovery operatios. It is beig cosidered that, i the loger term, the ew class could also carry oil recovery equipmet o behalf of the Fiish Maritime Admiistratio.

Trasportatio of ship blocks with this ew type of vessel will cosiderably reduce the schedule risks due to weather ad ice coditios. The capacity ad flexibility of the ew vessel cocept will be much higher tha with covetioal barge trasportatios, ad at the same time the trasportatio will be more ecoomical. Added flexibility is associated with the fact, that the ship is capable ot just of trasportig fiished blocks but also of carryig raw materials, such as steel plates ad profiles, to yards. The vessel cocept icludes several iovative ad pateted solutios. The vessel is a moo-hulled ope deck carrier with forecastle, accommodatio block ad wheelhouse located fore. The dieseldrive mai propulsio machiery is locat- ed i aft, while the electric power geeratio plat ad auxiliary machiery - i the fore part. The operatig speed is about 13 kots. Electricity ca also be geerated by power-take-off arragemet at mai egies. The vessel is to be equipped with Itegrated alarm, moitorig ad cotrol system (IMACS). The propulsio machiery comprises two diesel egies, each coupled to a azimuth propulsio uit with a cotrollable pitch propeller. Azimuthig thrusters are drive via the Z shaftlies with Carda shafts ad a flexible coupligs. The ewbuild has a barge-like hullform, except for the bow, which has a covetioal icebreakig form. A cetre fore skeg structure accommodates a bow thruster i the area of icebreaker-like recessed stem. The ope cargo deck sized app m is flush ad left as ope as possible. Special attetio is put o effective water ballast system ad proper ballast capacity for the easy offloadig ad uloadig of special cargo uits over the ster ramp ad over the sides. The deck of the vessel is stregtheed for heavy cargoes. It is desiged to carry uiform load of miimum 8 t/m 2 ad shall be fitted with cotaier sockets suitable for securig 80 uits of TEUs. The seafasteig ad securig of the ship blocks oto the deck will be carried out with specially desiged equipmet.

43 offshore suport vessels ad tugs Photo: Remotowa SA Aother AHTS delivered to reowed US operator O August 14, 2006, christeig of a moder offshore support vessel took place at Remotowa S.A. After christeig ceremoy ad sea trials the 120 T bollard pull AHTS ship de Mouli Tide was delivered to Tidewater Marie Ic. - the world leader i offshore support services. I all as may as six similar vessels will be delivered to New Orleas, US based operator util The costructio of first uits for Tidewater at REMONTOWA Group commeced i Jauary So far - 3 uits have bee delivered, icludig de Mouli Tide, however the two iitial uits were of a slightly smaller sized desig with smaller bollard pull figures (100 T). The curret batch of more powerful AHTS vessels was cotracted i the first half of 2005, which proved fruitful for the Offshore Departmet of Remotowa as Tidewater Marie LLC decided to cotiue cooperatio i ewbuildigs with Gdask Shiprepair Yard Remotowa S.A. Tidewater Marie, based i New Orleas, USA, placed a order for a pair of type NED 8167 L achor hadlig towig supply vessels (AHTSV) with optios for two more ships, later tur ito firm order, eve with additioal uits ordered up to 6 uits, of which the first oe, de Mouli Tide, has meawhile bee delivered as metioed above.. The ew vessels will be based o a project, NED 8167, that has already bee The 120 T bollard pull AHTS ship de Mouli Tide, durig sea trials. completed for the same ower. These vessels have bee improved for this ew edeavor through the base of experiece gaied durig the costructio of the previously delivered pair, the J Hugh Roff Jr ad the Big Joe Tide. Both of those vessels were delivered last year by Remotowa. The mai chage of the earlier desig is reflected i the legth of the vessel. The ew revisio has a legth of 70.0 m, but the breadth ad depth remai at m ad 6.60 m, respectively. Just as for the previous vessels, the recetly cotracted NED 8167 L series is desiged to operate i shallow waters. Due to a limited rearragemet of the aft part of the ship, the cotiuous bollard pull has bee icreased to 120 toes with a simultaeous icrease of the vessels capacities, meawhile keepig other vital features of the ship operatig at the highest possible level. The AHTS vessels i questio are moder multipurpose vessels desiged for achor hadlig ad rig towig with sigificat cargo capability for rig ad offshore platform supply. As was the case with previous ships for Tidewater, Remotowa is usig the same desig office, Remotowa s ow Naval Egieerig & Desig Ltd. NED. Propulsio is based o America two stroke twi Diesel mai egies. Each of the two egies delivers 5000 BHP at 900 rpm through reductio gears to cotrollable pitch propellers i Kort ozzles. The machiery is desiged to provide a service speed of 13 kots, ad a maximum speed to exceed 15 kots. The overall power plat efficiecy will be improved through the adoptio of 1200 kw shaft geerators. New vessels are to be classed as DP-1, but shall be ready for upgradig to DP-2 if so required by a potetial cliet. I order to esure that the vessel is ready for this upgrade, two 800 HP side thrusters shall be istalled alog with two 250 kw auxiliary geerator sets. A waterfall-type towig wich with 300 toes loadig capacity is drive by a low pressure hydraulic system, ad shall iclude two de-clutchable towig ad achor-hadlig drums, each with a holdig capacity of 1500 m of 72 mm diameter wire. The towig outfit will also iclude a sigle storage reel to accommodate 1000 m of 64 mm diameter wire, two 10 to capacity tugger wiches, a 500T capacity shark jaw, ad towig pis. The ster roller will have mai dimesios of 4.0m log ad 2.5m diameter ad should accommodate a 400 toes desig load. Besides achor hadlig ad towig fuctios, the ew ships will be suited for rig ad platform supply services by meas of a ope deck capacity for 1000 t of equipmet ad cargo. The ships are also beig outfitted with taks located uder the mai deck for drill water, potable water, liquid mud, fuel oil ad dry bulks (cemet, betoite, barites etc.) Also, both vessels will have the possibility to be used as auxiliary fire fighters due to their two 1200 cubic meter / hour fire moitors istalled o top of the wheelhouse. It is worth recallig the begiigs of Tidewater - Remotowa co-operatio. Whe Tidewater Marie LLC of New Orleas, Louisiaa, USA called i Jue 2002 for bids for three series (80, 100 ad 120T bollard pull) of AHTS, Remotowa s America & Offshore Commercial Departmet, which is resposible for further developmet of offshore sector services, had to decide the best way of attitude. Aalysis of techical coditios lead to the coclusio, that Customer s expectatio is to have rather small vessels i size, but with comparatively large cargo capacities. I additio, the smallest bollard pulls vessel looked as limited water depth operator. Available o the market, typical AHTS projects did ot fulfil those coditios, while famous, idepedet cosultats offered oly theoretically customised desig, sice they were providig rather geometrically coverted hull forms ad / or compilatios of previous solutios. Basig o the above, it was decided to prepare ow ad ew cocept despite the call for the bids clearly stat- 44 Nasze MORZE l September 2006

44 offshore suport vessels ad tugs ed that oly prove desig would be accepted. Fially, cotract for ewbuildig acquired, proved such Remotowa s attitude suitable ad successful. Cost cutter was the ickame give by Tidewater to the vessels, as the guidig priciple of projects. It meat ot oly simple costructio ad lower costructio cost, but also cosiderably lower recurrig, operatig costs. As log as demaded vessel s dimesios ad bollard pull are observed, the oly way to satisfy operatig costs lowerig expectatios is to icrease the speed, deadweight ad cargo capacity, i terms of maitaied propulsio power level. I such case the cost of cargo uit trasfer is for sure lower, comparig to competig solutios. Bigger cargo capacity ad icreased umber of voyages, withi the same period of time ad with comparable fuel cosumptio, should attract potetial cliets by offerig a advatage i form of vessel s flexibility with her special hull form desig, allowig operatio either o shallow or deep water oil fields. Opportuity i offerig of lower service rates would further sharp operator s competitive edge o extremely tough market at preset. Locally sited Naval Egieerig ad Desig s team, chose by Remotowa as authors of ew cocept, examied umber of differet propulsio systems, sophisticated solutios of ship s body forms, as well as vessel s layout, what resulted i more tha thirty well-developed project versios. This would evetually help to fulfill specific eeds of other, potetial cliets, as well as have resulted i compromised ad well balaced solutio, fially preseted to the owers. Limited vessel s breadth ad draft o oe had, with icreased deadweight, bollard pull ad speed o the other, seem to cotradict strogly ad form rather ambitious challege. Therefore, local Ship Desig ad Research Cetre (CTO) has bee employed ad extesive programme of tak testig was performed, to prove assumed parameters ad to esure satisfactory seakeepig characteristics as well. Additioal cost cuttig gai, importat for shipbuilders, is homeliess of applied body shape, which spares labour cost of the hull s erectio. Moreover, promisig results of this type of ship, gave excellet hull form for shallow water platform supply vessel (PSV) or other OSV cocept, where cargo capacity ad vessel s speed may be further, sigificatly icreased, comparig to AHTS results.

49 small ships Uique icebreakig emergecy evacuatio vessels from Remotowa Pict.: Remotowa S.A. Discovered i July 2000, Kashaga could prove to be the world s fifth largest oilfield. It is owed by a group of parters led by Agip. Agip KCO, a fully owed Ei compay, is the operator of the offshore Kashaga oil field o behalf of a cosortium of seve compaies.. The members of the Cosortium are: Agip Caspia Sea B.V. (Operator 18.52%), KazMuayGas (8.33%), Ei 18.52%; Exxo- Mobil 18.52%; Shell 18.52%; Total 18.52%; CoocoPhillips; 9.26%; INPEX 8.33%. The etire Caspia Sea is aroud 30m below sea level ad while the mea water depth as a whole is 208 m, this is cosiderably shallower to the orth-east. The field, 75 km SSE of Atyrau, lies i just 3.7m of water. Temperatures ca fall below -20 C i witer ad a coatig of ice, several metres thick, forms i this part of the Caspia Sea for may moths of the year. Such adverse weather coditios, addig to shallow water, put exceptioal demads o the desig of a floatig uit to provide effective emergecy evacuatio. The very special craft is beig built at Remotowa S.A. yard i Gdask, Polad. O July 22, 2005, Gdañsk Shiprepair Yard Remotowa S.A. ad Agip KCO siged a cotract for the costructio ad delivery of four specialised Ice Breakig Emergecy Evacuatio Vessels (IBEEV), becomig yard umbers B 843/1-4. Moreover, the cotract provides Agip KCO with a optio to order four additioal vessels. The last uit from the first batch of these uique vessels was lauched mid-august. All four evacuatio vessels should be delivered by November The vessels would be used to carry out the emergecy evacuatio of persoel from offshore istallatios located i the Kashaga Field, which is curretly oe of the largest offshore developmets i the world. IBEEV represets state-of-the-art techology ad complies with Det Norske Veritas class otatio X 1A1 ICE 1B DAT (-30 C). The vessels measure m i legth, 8.0 m i beam ad 3.60 m i depth. The specific requiremets of Agip KCO as well as the oerous evirometal operatig coditios have challeged the Yard to develop tailor made solutios for this project. The craft was desiged by Naval Egieerig & Desig Ltd, Polad. llustratio of icebreakig emergecy evacuatio vessels from Remotowa. Special focus has bee put o the developmet of the propulsio solutio, allowig the vessels to operate safely withi a toxic / hydrocarbo eviromet. Combustio air will be provided by a specialized istallatio cosistig of 16 high pressure cyliders storig air compressed to 350 bar, decompressed via pressure reducig paels ad supplied to the egies. The Det Norske Veritas classed IBEEV will have diesel electric propulsio, cosistig of two 800kW diesel-electric prime movers ruig at 1500 rpm ad drivig twi azimuth thrusters rated at 550 kw at 1500 rpm. The witer ice coditios prevailig i the North East Caspia resulted i the desigers developig a hull form with the capability for vessel operatio i first year ice (0.6 m thick), which was proved by extesive model tests. The shallow waters of Caspia Sea also required tight desig cotrol over the draught of the vessel, which is ot to exceed 2.0 m i summer ad 2.1 i witer coditios. Evirometal factors were also take ito accout, resultig i the applicatio of o discharge equipmet ad fulfilmet of requiremets of MARPOL as well as other Iteratioal covetios. The evacuees will eter the vessels through evacuatio tuels likig each vessel to a Islad facility. Evacuees will eter the vessel via a air lock, which will be purged usig stored air from cyliders, after purgig, the evacuees will proceed forward through the vessel, to oe of three hermetically sealed evacuee compartmets. Durig evacuatio, persoal CO 2 scrubbers ad re-breather sets will be provided to each of the evacuees. Solid-state chlorate cadles will be used to geerate additioal oxyge i the evacuee compartmets as the oxyge levels are depleted by the evacuees.
