‘Summary,
This desktop study concludes that the only failure likely to affect the vessel’s DP
system is short circuit or overload of the 440V supply to the VOC unit from the
vessel’s 440V switchboard. Provided the electrical protection works satisfactorily
any failure should not exceed the vessel’s worst case failure design intent.
Recommendations have been made for a trials programme.

INTRODUCTION
Instructions
Poseidon Maritime (UK) Ltd (PML) were instructed by Teekay Norway AS (Teekay) to
produce a Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) of the VOC Installation as fitted on
the shuttle tanker Navion Europa.
Scope of Work
The scope defined by Teekay is to compile the report and prove the results by trials. The
vessel is a DP shuttle tanker with a VOC (volatile organic compound) recovery system.
‘This system requires a considerable amount of power and cooling which is provided by the
vessel’s marine systems. This FMEA only considers the interface between the marine
systems and the VOC installation and the effects that various demands or faults of the VOC
installation has on the vessel's DP capability. Any trial is intended to demonstrate that the
‘VOC installation has no effect on the vessel’s DP or normal operational capability
Conduct of Work
A revision of the original FMEA of the DP system which had been done by Global
Maritime was completed by PML in June 2003, Following this revision, a DP tials
programme was developed and carried out. The results of the trials report and the FMEA
revision have been used to assess the vessel systems when considering the interface with the
Information of the VOC and the source of any vessel system supplies was
forwarded to PML as hard copy. No further visit to the vessel has been made to verify the
installation.
‘The scope was taken to include an examination of the following:
+ Vessel electric power supply to the VOC installation
+ Vessel cooling water supply to the VOC installation
+ Vessel auxiliary systems, compressed air etc. to the VOC Installation
+ Remote monitoring and control of the VOC Installation,
The purpose of this FMEA is two fold: firstly, to identify any shortage of resources when
operating at high demand levels of the vessel and VOC equipment and, secondly, to assess
the effects of failures the VOC installation with respect to the continued operation of
the marine systems,

Design Worst Case Failure
‘The vessel uses its Dynamic Positioning System for position keeping at offshore loading
installations. External systems such as the VOC unit should not interfere with the worst
case failure of the DP system. Trials revealed that the worst case failure is the loss of the
starboard side of the 6.6KV switchboard which supplies two bow tunnel thrusters, one stern,
thruster and one of the main propulsion motors.

VRU INSTALLATION FOR VOCS
General
‘VOC gases are Volatile Organic Compounds which are a mixture of light end hydrocarbons
given off through vaporisation of crude oil and refined products. The unit being installed on
the Navion Europa is termed a Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU) which is being used to control
and reduce the emission of the VOCs.
‘The VRU is a skid mounted unit with various tanks, heaters, pumps, pipework and valves
etc. and relies on vessel services for supplies of cooling water, electrical power, hydraulic
power etc.
VRU Power Requirements
It is noted that the VOC documentation from Kvaemer is not consistent when referring to
the switchboard terminology. The following terms have been used to describe the
switchboards,
1. Their cable scheduling refers to 440V main distribution board SP2 and 440V
distribution board forward. In their electrical load calculations they refer to 440V.
switchboards main SBI and SB2.
2. The vessel diagram from the builder has two 440V switchboards, termed port or Bus
“A” and starboard or Bus “B”.
3. The Unitech Power system short circuit calculation refers to switchboards | and 2.
From Kvaerner documentation, the supplies from 440V Main distribution board SP2 are:
1. Electrical power for the vacuum pump (from circ 100 to TAG P-261)
2. Heater for the vacuum pump (TAG EE 261)
3. Electrical power for crude oil supply pump ((TAG P-301)
4, Electrical power for erude oil return pump (TAG P-321)
5. Electrical power for Glycol pump (TAG P-401)
6. Local emergency stop for the crude oil supply pump (TAG XS 301)
7. Heater for the enude oil supply pump (TAG EE 301)
8. Heater for the nude oil return pump (TAG P-321)

2.2.4 Clarification of switchboard designation
The port 440V switchboard as designated in the vessel drawing is Bus B and on the port
side of the vessel, fed from the port side 6.6kV switchboard and the port side Diesel
generators.
‘The starboard 440V switchboard is Bus A and on the starboard side of the vessel fed from
the starboard side main 6.6kV switchboard and the starboard side Diesel generators.
‘Therefore, using the vessel drawings as the standard, all references to SP2, SB2 and
Starboard are assumed to be the Starboard 440V switchboard or 440V Bus A; and all
references to Fwd, SBI and port are assumed to be the Port 440V switchboard or Bus B.

3. SWITCHBOARD MODIFICATIONS
3.1 General
3.1.1 United Power Systems in their document UPS-200207-RO1, calculated the short circuit
capacity of the existing bus bars within the two main 440Vswitcboards, port and starboard.
‘These calculations were made using the additional consumers that were to be supplied from.
these switchboards to power the VOC installation,
3.1.2. Their recommendation was that, for both switchboards, the bus bar droppers were to be
changed for larger ones with shorter distance between the supports,
3.1.3 We have been informed that these modifications were carried out.

OPERATION OF THE VOC
Crude Oil
The system requires crude oil to be supplied at about 3.5 bar (depending on the density of
the crude oil). ‘This has been done by installing a new crude oil pump in the existing pump
room. When the tanker is loading at an offshore installation the crude oil, after entering the
ships system from the bow loading, or other system, is fed through the existing deck oil
header pipes. ‘The oil is then distributed to Nos 2 and 5 centre cargo tanks and thereafter to
the other tanks. The bottom line in No.5 tank is open to the vacuum/suction tank in the
pump room. This is a stendard tank and there is normally one per main cargo pump in the
pump room and its purpose is to maintain a head of oil for the discharge pump. From this
tank there is a new suction line for the new VOC crude oil pump. The existing system has
not been altered; it is an addition which can be isolated from the main system if necessary.
It should be noted that as the vacuum/suction tank is there to provide a positive suction head
for the pumps there is a requirement for a minimum amount of crude in the tank before this
positive head can be achieved. The figure quoted is a minimum of 2.3m.
‘The VOC crude oil pump discharges into the existing Crude Oil Washing (COW) line and
from this line there is a tic line to the VOC plant. As the system uses the COW line there
can be no use of the COW system when the VOC plant is in operation. After treatment in
the VOC plant, the treated crude oil is returned to No.2 centre tank.
The crude oil pump has an electric motor drive and is elect
lly supplied from the
starboard 40V switchboard.
After treatment the crude oil is pumped to the cargo tanks.
The crude oil outlet pump has an electric motor drive and is electrically supplied from the
starboard 440V switchboard,
Sea Water Cooling
‘The VOC plant requires sea water for cooling purposes. The sea water is supplied from a
dedicated pump located in the bow thruster room. ‘The pump takes suction from the same
sea chest intake as the emergency fire pump.
Information given is that the discharge pipework from the pump to the VOC plant is
independent of all other pipework. After the VOC unit, the sea water is discharged
overboard in way of No.3 starboard ballast tank.

‘The sea water pump has an electric motor drive and is electrically supplied from the port

Hydraulic System
From the Electrical load calculations and the VOC description, there is a requirement for
hydraulic pressure, The only reference to an hydraulic system is in P&ID 5678-VOC-KP-
PD-300-03. This shows a hydraulic unit, P-950 HPU, located in the forecastle. From
information supplied, e-mail from Denis Malivernat 1* June 2004, it was confirmed that the
VOC plant has its own dedicated hydraulic power pack installed forward. These HPUs have
their electrical supply from the port 440V switchboard.
Regeneration,
During the loading process the vapours given off by the crude will come into contact with
the inert gas already within the tanks. Standard tanker practice is to have the tanks inerted
prior to loading with the tank pressure/vacuum valves operational and the mast riser open.
This is to prevent over pressurisation (or under) of the tanks, However, as the requirement
is to prevent emission of these gases, the mast riser is closed and the gases led to the VOC
plant. The gases pass through absorption filters for cleaning and are then allowed to vent to
atmosphere. ‘The control of the absorption filters chambers is by a vacuum pump.
The vacuum pump has an electric motor drive and is electrically supplied from the starboard
440V switchboard. Vacuum pumps generally require some sort of sealing arrangement to
allow operation. This pump relies on a glycol/water mix for the seal. The Glycol pump has
an electric motor drive and is electrically supplied from the starboard 440V switchboard,
Fire Detection
Fire detection within the VOC plant has been integrated into the ship’s system. There is no
automatic shutdown of ship’s systems in the event of a fire alarm in the VOC plant.
Control
A vent room aft has been used as a remote control station for the VOC plant, The power for
the control console has been taken from the existing 240V cargo control UPS.

ELECTRICAL LOAD
General
‘The port and starboard switchboards have had their bus bar droppers renewed and additional
supports fitted in order to withstand the calculated short circuit faults, The supply to these
switchboards has not been changed, i.e. the 6,6KV/440V transformers remain as original.
‘There is therefore an increase in demand for the same supply due to the VOC plant.
‘The additional loads are:
Port 440V switchboard
Sea Water pump 45kW
HPUs no details
Starboard 440V switchboard
‘Vacuum pump 315kW
Crude oil supply pump 60kW
Crude oil return pump =—-25kKW
Glycol pump 4.6KW
‘These loads are all constant as the VOC unit will be in continuous operation during the
loading period. The 6.6kV/440¥ transformers are rated at 2300kVA. It is assumed that the
total loading when on DP and operating the VOC plant has been calculated and that the
maximum peak load is well within the rating of the transformer,

6. | FAILURES WHICH WOULD AFFECT MARINE OPS.
6.1 General
6.1.1 When the vessel is at an offshore loading location it maintains position relative to the
installation by DP. With the installation of a VOC unit the vessel will also be using this unit
to reduce the VOC emissions,
6.1.2. There is no reference to any particular preferential tripping of the VOC unit to prevent
overload of the 440V switchboards. This is accepted as the thruster main power is from the
vessel 6.6kV switchboard and the only power from the 440V switchboard is for thruster
pitch hydraulic power packs. The largest perceived load on the 440V switchboard would be
loss of one hydraulic power pack and the automatic start of the stand by unit.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Conclusions
The VOC plant fitted to the Navion Europa is a self contained unit requiring electrical
supplies from the existing 440V vessel switchboards, These switchboards have been
modified to withstand the new load short circuit conditions.
The worst case failure would be loss of one 440V switchboard and this is within the DP
worst case failure mode, With proper setting and maintenance of the various breaker
protection devices this should be a remote possibility.
The scope of work required proof of the conclusions by trial. ‘This could be done by the
vessel staff. Refer to recommendations.
Recommendations
This desk top study concluded that the only possible failure of the VOC plant that could
affect the DP system was failure of a 40V switchboard. Under working conditions, this
‘would be as a result of a massive short circuit or overload. ‘The short circuit calculations
have been done by others therefore it remains to test overload conditions, This could be
done by the vessel staff by loading the switchboard to maximum and then stopping and
starting high starting current consumers in quick succession in an attempt to overload each
switchboard in turn,
