B OLUDA T OWAGE WELCO MES THE B ELGIAN M INISTER OF J USTICE AND

N ORTH S EA
On Saturday 10 February 2024,
Boluda Towage had the pleasure
of welcoming the Belgian
Minister of Justice and North
Sea, Paul Van Tigchelt, on board
the tug VB Seine in the port of
Antwerp. Paul Van Tigchelt was
appointed Minister of Justice
and North Sea in October 2023.
Responsibilities for the North
Sea cover Maritime Mobility
and Marine Environment,
including policy on permits and
authorizations for the operation
of renewable energy
infrastructure in the North Sea.
The visit to Boluda Towage started with a company introduction, which highlighted the importance
of the logistics and nautical chain and explained the role of towage services in this chain. As a
maritime service provider, Boluda Towage is an essential player and a vital part of the nautical chain
with its tugs. The minister’s visit provided an opportunity to discuss challenges within the sector and
engage with each other on topics such as security around organized drug-related crime, regulations,
optimization of logistics processes in the nautical chain, and Boluda Towage's investments in various
sustainability projects. Challenges in the labour market and the so-called ‘bottleneck’ professions of
nautical specialists were also discussed. In the maritime sector, the demand for well-qualified and
nautically skilled professionals remains unprecedentedly high. For nautical personnel, Boluda
Towage has developed its internal training program, which allows us to maintain our high-quality
service and performance and strengthen our competitive position. After the company introduction,
the minister boarded the tug VB Seine, where he could meet the crew. The boat trip through the port
of Antwerp allowed the minister and his team to experience closely the logistics and nautical
processes at the port. Belgian Minister Justice and North Sea, Paul Van Tigchelt said: “The nautical
chain is a well-functioning ecosystem in which every link is important to keep the engine of our
ports running. When one cog stagnates, it has huge consequences on the sites, economic

consequences for the companies, and social consequences for the employees who work there."
"During a working visit to Boluda Towage, I was introduced to the workhorses of our ports. After all,
the tugs ensure that the large merchant vessels safely enter and leave our ports. Huge respect for the
professionalism with which they work and gratitude for the warm welcome!" Steven De Nijs, General
Manager Boluda Towage – Belgium & Scheldt Area commented: “We thank Minister Van Tigchelt
and his team for the company visit and their interest in Boluda Towage. The dialogue on the
challenges in the nautical chain was very meaningful." (PR)

N ORDIC E NGINEERING : D EMAND FOR ICE TUGS FOR R USSI AN PORTS IS

GROWING RAPIDLY
Russian ice tug projects have

been developed and prepared
for construction. Experts
from the Russian design JSC
Nordic Engineering note the
rapidly growing demand for
ice-class tugs for Russian
ports and work on the
Northern Sea Route (NSR).
As the company reported,
new port projects and new
logistics are in dire need of
auxiliary fleet vessels (tugs)
capable of promptly placing large-capacity vessels at berths in port waters and towing large objects,
including in difficult ice conditions. The company recalled that the new coal terminal Port Elga
announced the placement of an order at a Chinese shipyard for the construction of Arc4 ice-class
tugs. The estimated completion date for the construction of the vessels is the summer of 2024, which
indicates a high degree of their readiness today, experts from Nordic Engineering JSC note. Vessels of
this class, according to the expert assessment of Russian designers, are among the most in demand
today in Russian ports. There are about 80 tugs of the Arc4 ice class under the supervision of the FAU
“ Russian Maritime Register of Shipping ” (RS, Register). Their construction period averages about
1.5-2 years, excluding design work. Nordic Engineering JSC has similar projects in its product line,
for example, the Arc4 ice-class tug of project NE034. Two such tugboats will be built for the
Kamchatka Territory. As IAA PortNews reported earlier, they will ensure the safety of mooring
operations when ships with a length of 201-220 m enter the port of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.

"K HABARO VSK ", "M ANORSKY " AND "S HANTARY ": THREE TUGBOATS WILL
BE BUILT FO R "P ORT E LGA " IN C HINA
Three Arc4 ice class tugs will

be built for the Port Elga coal
sea terminal in China. The
company announced the
conclusion of the contract on
February 9. It is planned that
the construction of the vessels
will be completed in the
summer of 2024. The tugs will
be named after the
geographical objects of the
Khabarovsk Territory -
“Khabarovsk”, “Manorsky”
and “Shantary” (Shantar
Islands). The new tugs are
designed to perform mooring operations in the waters of the coal terminal. The tugs will ensure its full
operation in the first stages. In the future, their number will be increased to 4-5 units. The length of
the tug is 29.8 m, width - 10.43 m, draft - 4.9 m. The Port Elga terminal is being built near Cape
Manorsky in the Khabarovsk Territory. Its design capacity will be 30 million tons per year with a
subsequent increase to 50 million tons per year. (Source: Sudostroenie; Photo: "Port Elga")

S VITZER DI RECTO R : IPO MUST CREATE GROWTH
After 45 years in AP Møller - Maersk ownership, Svitzer must now be spun off in a stock market
listing. And that gives Svitzer "a really good platform to grow, win new contracts and enter more
ports," says Svitzer's CEO, Kasper Nilaus, to Børsen. Svitzer has for many years been the world's
largest tugboat company with more than 450 ships and activities in 140 ports worldwide. And
although Svitzer has just been overtaken as the world's largest by Boluda Towage, which has acquired
Dutch Smit Lamnalco, according to the CEO, Svitzer is "the only truly global tugboat company".
Svitzer has grown significantly under Maersk ownership and in recent years alone has opened new
activities in ports in Greece, Brazil, the Philippines and Australia, Børsen writes. And that
development must continue, the director believes: "Maersk has been a very good owner for us, but we
are in a good place to be listed on the stock exchange. We have had the Svitzer name since 1833, so it
is a strong brand with which we can now more easily go out and position ourselves strongly in the
5/34
market. This opportunity gives us a really good platform to grow, win new contracts and enter more
ports," says Kasper Nilaus to
Børsen. AP Møller - Maersk
wants to get rid of Svitzer
because the company does not
fit into the strategy of
"shipping, logistics and port
terminals", explained Maersk
CEO Vincent Clerc in
connection with the
publication of the company's
annual accounts. The listing of
Svitzer must be approved by
the shareholders at an
extraordinary general meeting
at the end of April. According
to the plan, the share will be able to be traded on the stock exchange in Copenhagen from 30 April.

T HE WORLD ' S OLDEST ACTI VE ICEBREAKER TURNS 70

At 70 years old, the Finnish icebreaker “Voima” is the oldest ship of its class in service in the world.
She is the first post-war ship of the Finnish National Shipping Board, built at the Wärtilä Helsinki
shipyard and delivered on February 12, 1954. Between 1954 and 1989, Wärtsilä Helsinki built 66
icebreaking ships and other types of ships with this type of hull, mostly for the USSR. In 1989,
Wärtsilä Marine evolved into Masa Yards and today Aker Arctic maintains specialized shipbuilding at
the Hietalahti shipyard, where fifty vessels have taken shape. The icebreaking ship “Voima” is an icon
in the Arctia fleet. Class 1A Super, has a robust hull that has proven its reliability in the Baltic Sea and
Gulf of Finland over seven decades and has served as a model for other four-axle icebreakers.
6/34
Commissioned in 1948, the lack of financing in a Finland mired in the consequences of the harsh post-
war period extended its keel
laying until May 29, 1951.
Initially it was going to be
called “Into” and on November
27, 1952 it was proceeded to its
launching with the new name
of “Voima” (“Strength”), a
ceremony in which Mrs. Sylvi
Kekkonen, wife of the then
Prime Minister and later
President of the Republic, Urho
Kekkonen, acted as godmother,
being handed over on February
12, 1954. The ship “Voima” was
the first of the new icebreakers
to emerge from Finland's post-
war reconstruction programme. At the time of its launch, it was a special case, even internationally,
because for the first time in the world, an icebreaking ship was equipped with two symmetrical front
propellers of opposite rotation. Designed for use in the open sea, with a beam of almost 20 m that
allowed 10,000 dwt cargo ships and 16,000 dwt oil tankers to navigate the frozen channel that the
icebreaker “Voima” had breached. The power of six Atlas Polar engines totaling 9,000 kW and its
excellent maneuverability (the vessel can rotate completely on its axis and move laterally) aroused
great interest outside of Finland. For Wärtsilä, the new ship was a showcase of design and
craftsmanship. Wärtsilä built three sister ships for the Soviet Union (“Kapitan Belousov” in 1954,
“Kapitan Voronin” in 1955 and “Kapitan Melehov” in 1956), and one for Sweden (“Oden” in 1957).
The icebreaking ship “Voima” was modernized between 1978 and 1979. All machinery was replaced,
and the interior was renovated to meet modern standards. All deck structures were completely rebuilt,
resulting in a ship that bore some resemblance to the icebreakers “Urho” and “Sisu”. The sides were
reinforced with new plates to increase protection against ice pressure, and the ship was equipped with
six Wärtsilä 16V22 engines, totaling a power of 12,840 kW, as well as new electrical devices, new
crew accommodations and a new bridge. Of 4,159 gross tons and 5,209 tons of displacement, it
measures 83.50 m in length, 19.40 m in width and 7 m in draft. The installed propulsion power allows
it to maintain a speed of 16 knots and a pulling power of 113 tons. From 58 crew members in her first
stage, she has grown to 21 today. IMO code 5383158. (Source: Puente de Mando; Photo: Jukka

H OW TO BE ATTRACTIVE TO MARINE INSURERS
How can a workboat company

position itself to be attractive to
insurers? There’s no one-size-fits-
all solution. Insurance is a custom
product that considers the specific
risks your company faces as well
as the strength of your
management, procedures,
experience, and past claims
history. However, there are some
general practices that can help
your company stand out when
insurance agents, brokers and
companies are assessing who is best in class. These include: ● Developing a strong risk management
program. This can help to identify and mitigate potential risks, which can make a company more
attractive to insurers. ● Maintaining a good financial track record. Insurers are more likely to be
interested in insuring a company with a strong and stable financial story to tell. ● Having a clear and
concise safety policy. This can help demonstrate to insurers that a company is committed to safety
and help to reduce the likelihood of accidents and claims. ● Being open and transparent with
insurers. Insurers respect companies that are willing to be honest and clear about their operations.
This includes providing insurers with all the information they need to assess the company’s risk
profile. ● Working with your agent to look for the best insurance rates based on your insurance
history and current exposures. Often this means getting several quotes (if available), but it can also
mean listening when your agent advises you to stay put with your current carrier. ● Don’t get a
reputation for changing insurance companies too frequently. It takes a while for insurers to learn the
ins-and-outs of your business (and to generate a profit − there’s a lot of work up front in a new
account). Loyalty is a two-way street in insurance. If you show the same amount of loyalty to your
8/34
insurer that you expect from them it will pay dividends over time in pricing and claims. ● Get
certified. There are a several certifications that companies can obtain to demonstrate to insurers that
they are committed to safety and risk management. These certifications include International
Organization Standard 9001, ISO 14001, and Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series
(OHSAS) 18001. ● Join industry associations. Joining industry associations can help companies stay
up to date on the latest insurance trends and regulations. Attending industry events can help
companies to learn about new insurance products and services. It can also help to network with other
companies and insurers. By following these tips, companies can position themselves to be attractive
to insurers and get the best possible insurance rates. (Source: Workboats by Dan Bookham)

ACCIDENTS – SALVAGE NEWS
F ISHING VESSEL STRANDED EN ROUTE TO NEW OWNER
A fishing boat ran aground at

Castlepoint early Friday while on
its way to a new owner. A
Maritime NZ spokesperson said
Rescue Coordination Centre New
Zealand (RCCNZ) was notified
around 6am on Friday that a
vessel was in danger of running
aground. The Wellington rescue
helicopter was tasked to the
location and local fishermen
were contacted to assist, the
spokesperson said. Shortly after, a
local fisherman advised RCCNZ
that the vessel was beached and
the two crew were safely ashore,
he said. Anders Crofoot, owner of Castlepoint Holiday Park and Motels, said the boat is on the beach
in front of the holiday park. He understands the fishing boat has been sold and was being delivered to
new owners when it had mechanical problems and ended up on the beach with its hull damaged.
Diesel and hydraulic oil had been removed from the boat on Saturday, Crofoot said. An insurance
company is organising removing the boat from the sea, he said. (Source: Stuff Daily)

M YSTERIOUS C APSIZED C ARGO S HI P C AUSES O IL S PILL E MERG ENCY

IN T OBAGO
Officials on the Caribbean island

of Tobago are scrambling to
clean up a growing oil spill
while they also investigate the
mysterious capsized vessel that
is causing the growing
environmental disaster. Oil is
fouling the southwestern end of
the island with warnings that it
may continue to spread. A
massive clean-up effort has been
launched as the oil continues to
wash onshore with the Trinidad & Tobago Coast Guard investigating the vessel. The government is
now classifying it as a Tier II disaster with the Tobago Emergency Management Agency (TEMA),
Environmental Management Authority, and other government agencies all coordinating in the effort.
Speculation was that it would be elevated to a Tier III disaster by the end of the day Thursday or
early on Friday. The incident began on Wednesday, February 7, when the authorities received
reports of a capsized vessel. They noted that there had been no distress call and a subsequent search
has failed to turn up the crew either on board or having escaped from the sinking ship. Oil from the
vessel quickly began to reach the shoreline. Divers were sent to examine and identify the vessel
reporting back a visual identity as Gulfstream but so far they have been unable to identify any
registration information. Efforts to get to a possible registration number on the stern were being
blocked by the ongoing oil leak. The vessel's visible name does not correspond with international
ship registries. They are estimating the vessel’s length at 330 feet (100 meters) and they believe it was
transporting lumber and sand. The divers reported that there appears to also be damage to the nearby
reef and that portions of the vessel’s superstructure detached and may lie in a debris field. They found
no signs of life aboard the vessel, although further searches of the debris were planned. The
speculation is that the vessel might have been abandoned and left to sink. The trail of damage
suggests the ship drifted into the cove from the south and may have dragged along the bottom before
coming to rest. Some observers are saying they saw the vessel as early as Tuesday. Crews worked
through the day on Thursday and late into the night reporting that their focus is on containment and
they have deployed protective booms. The port in Scarborough they are reporting so far remains oil
free while testing is ongoing to confirm their suspicions that diesel oil is leaking from the ship. Along
the beaches, 67 people are reported to be working to clean up the oil while government officials are
warning the public to stay away from southwest Tobago. One of the big concerns is that the oil will
contaminate fish and the food supply. (Source: Marex)

M ARITIME R ESCUE RESCUES THE 14 SAILORS FRO M A G ALI CIAN SHIP

THAT ENDED UP SI NKING 10 MILES OFF THE G IPUZKOA COAST
The María Reina Madre, based in

Burela and flying the French
flag, was fishing for hake when it
activated the emergency call
when it suffered a leak. A
Maritime Rescue crew and a
Civil Guard patrol boat have
rescued the 14 sailors from the
fishing boat 'María Reina Madre',
which finally sank when it was
sailing off the coast of Gipuzkoa.
The ship was based in the
Galician port of Bureba and used
the French flag because it
operated off the French coast in hake fishing. The skipper of the Burela Brotherhood José Basilio
Otero has confirmed to EL MUNDO the rescue of the crew while the reason for the leak in the ship's
hull is being analyzed. According to the information provided by Salvamento Marítmo at 8:57 a.m.
the Coordination Center in Bilbao, dependent on the General Directorate of the Merchant Navy, has
received the alert from the French fishing vessel 'María Reina Madre'. She is located 8.7 miles north
11/34
of San Sebastián with a waterway that she cannot control. The CCS Bilbao has asked them to put on
their life jackets and has immediately mobilized the maritime and air rescue device with the
Salvamar Orión boat and the Helimer 211 helicopter. They also contacted the fishing vessel 'Castillo
Anaiak' that was close to the place of emergency. At 9:12 a.m., the skipper of the 'María Reina
Madre' reported that the 13 crew members had abandoned the fishing vessel and were in the life raft
. He remains on board until the arrival of the Salvamar Orion. The fishing vessel has a large list to
starboard and the machine is flooded. At 9:35 a.m., the Salvamar Orión rescued the 13 crew
members, in good condition, who were on the raft and later also rescued the skipper. The
Government Delegation in the Basque Country has confirmed, in a statement, that early this
afternoon the ship ended up completely sinking in the Cantabrian Sea. Maritime Rescue has reported
this in a message published on the social network X along with a video showing the last moments of
the ship's sinking. The sinking occurred at 2:31 p.m. 10 miles northwest of Hondarribia, in waters
under French jurisdiction, the same source stated. Next to the boat was the Salvamar Orion boat and
a tugboat from the Facal company hired by the shipowner, which was ultimately unable to prevent
the sinking of the fishing vessel. Last July, another Galician fishing vessel based in Burela, the 'Nuevo
San Juan', suffered a fire and its 15 crew members were rescued. The vessel suffered a fire in the Irish
waters of the Great Sol and the ship sank. (Source: El Mundo; Photo: Maritime Rescue)
M OLASSES T ANKER IN S TICKY S ITUATION AS IT G RO UNDS OFF UK

A small tanker designed to
transport molasses found itself yet
again in a difficult situation as it
grounded for the second time on
its regular runs into the port of
Silloth, in Cumbia in northwest
England. The vessel has a history
of problems but appears to
escaped serious problems as they
were able to refloat the ship on
high tide overnight, and it is now
undergoing inspections. HM
Coastguard received reports that the Zapadnyy, a 3,300 dwt tanker, had gone aground around midday
on Saturday, February 10 as it was inbound for Silloth. The RN Life Boat crew also responded to
ensure that there was no danger with the reports that the vessel was sitting high on the mud as the
wide went out. However, the crew was uninjured and there were no reports of damage. Crews and
divers can be seen inspecting the hull of the ship in pictures taken by residents of the area. Built in
1988, the vessel is 256 feet (78 meters) and registered in Belize. It is owned and managed from Odesa,
Ukraine although has been operating under charter to a company in Germany. It was coming from
Germany when they apparently misjudged the harbor entrance and found themselves stuck in the
mud. It was the second time in nearly eight years that the vessel went aground largely in the same
place. Inbound in April 2016 it also grounded. As with this weekend’s incident, they were able to
refloat the vessel on the high tide. The ship, however, has a long history of deficiencies in its port
state inspections. In October, it was cited in the Netherlands for safety issues including the
gyrocompass was listed as “not readable.” In April 2023 while at Felixstowe, the UK MCA detained
the vessel on issues of fire safety including doors and dampers. The most serious incident of her
career appears to have come in 2011 when the tanker sustained significant damage when it collided
with a floating pier in Germany. Pictures show a large gash in the hull and taking on water they
12/34
grounded the ship. It was however repaired and later resumed service. (Source: Marex)

T HE D UNKIRKFISHING BOAT “A LEXI S IV”, DESTROYED IN A FIRE OFF

THE COAST OF D IEPPE
The boat “Alexis IV”

which was sailing off the
coast of Normandy was
ravaged by flames last
night. All six crew
members are safe. The
alert was given around
2:30 a.m. During the night
from Sunday to Monday, a
fishing vessel sailing off
the coast of Dieppe (76)
informed the Gris-Nez
operational surveillance
and rescue center ( CROSS ) that the fishing vessel Alexis IV, registered in Dunkirk , was in difficulty
in the same sector, precisely 10 nautical miles (18.5 km) from Le Tréport. A fire broke out in the
machine room. According to the maritime prefecture, the crew of the damaged ship, which consists
of six people, was unable to control the fire and took refuge in the front of the ship. Faced with this
situation, the CROSS broadcast a Mayday Relay message to inform all the vessels present in the area
and engaged several maritime and air resources, namely a third fishing vessel located near the
burning vessel, the public service Dauphin helicopter of the French Navy based in Le Touquet (62),
the all-weather boat SNS 080 Notre Dame de Bon Secours from the station of the national sea rescue
society ( SNSM ) in Dieppe. Secure the area The crew then took refuge in a life raft. The third fishing
vessel located nearby reached them in less than thirty minutes and took them on board. The
helicopter arrived in the area a few minutes later and evacuated the six castaways to Le Tréport, in
two rotations. Once dropped ashore, the crew was taken care of by emergency services and a medical
13/34
team from SMUR de la Seine-Maritime. At the same time, SNS 080 joined the boat still on fire. The
fire was nevertheless “ too violent to attempt to intervene on board ,” the prefecture continued this
Monday morning. A report was made to other vessels sailing in the area and SNS 080 remained to
secure the area. The coastal maritime surveillance boat ( VCSM ) Yser of the maritime gendarmerie
then arrived around 7 a.m. to take over. The resources present continue their surveillance “ to
guarantee maritime safety in the area and in order to identify the possibilities for intervention,
depending on the evolution of the disaster ”. Around 4 p.m. this Monday, the boat was still burning.
Firefighters from Pas-de-Calais (Marck) were also called in for reinforcements. (Source: La Voix du

Shipping Administration (WSA)
to the U.S. Army and operating as
a troopship in the Pacific
Ocean in World War II when grounded and eventually lost on 14 February 1942. History Design and
construction Granite State was built by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation for the U.S. Shipping
Board as hull 246, keel laid 22 May 1919, launched 31 July 1920. The ship was an Emergency Fleet
Corporation Design 1095 passenger/cargo design more frequently known in the industry as the "502"
type for the design length of 502 feet (153.0 m) between perpendiculars. The design had been for
troop transports until signing of the armistice ending World War I made completion as civilian
passenger and cargo ships desirable. New York Shipbuilding had the contract for all seven of the
"502" class and nine of the "535" class, an order requiring expansion and construction of the
company's South Yard, that were to be delivered to the United States Shipping Board (USSB). The
ship was allocated and delivered 7 March 1921 to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company for operation
from San Francisco to Honolulu, Manila, Saigon, Singapore, Calcutta and return. Civilian career The
ship arrived from the Atlantic in San Francisco to begin Pacific Mail's Indian Service on 4 April 1921.
The ship was bought by Dollar Steamship Lines in 1923 for Round-the-World trade and renamed
President Polk. The ship transferred in 1938 to American President Lines and was renamed President
Taylor in 1940 accommodating 128 passengers. World War II President Taylor was requisitioned for
war service with WSA 6 December 1941 with American President Lines as the operating agent and
allocated to the United States Army requirements. She was re-fitted for use as a troop carrier in San
Francisco in December 1941. Her initial voyage as a troopship was a round trip from San Francisco to
Honolulu and back. The ship left San Francisco for the Philippines on 31 January 1942, under the
command of Captain A. W. Aitken. Wreck on Canton President Taylor, taking part in an effort to
reinforce islands considered vital to protect communication lines with Australia, carried two
companies of infantry and two battalions of coast artillery, about 1,100 men, for the Canton (Kanton)
Island garrison. During that operation, possibly due to loss of an anchor while landing troops and
equipment by means of shallow draft craft from outside the lagoon, the ship became firmly grounded
on the coral reef. The ship was eventually a loss despite extensive efforts to re-float and save her. The
14/34
grounded ship was unloaded under difficult conditions, and salvage attempts made with first USCG
Cutter Taney and fleet tug Seminole dispatched, later joined by fleet tug Navajo and by repair ship
Argonne on 12 April 1942 with salvage expert LCDR Curtiss being flown to the island. Argonne, a
large ship of 8,400 tons displacement, embarked salvage equipment along with supplies and
munitions for the island, sent salvage crews aboard President Taylor before leaving to return to Pearl
Harbor 5 May 1942. As of 22 February 1942, neither salvage nor offloading had been effective due to
weather, and extra barges for
offloading were not due for about
two weeks. No progress had been
made by 24 February 1942, and
Robin was sent towing a large and
three small lighters to assist in
unloading with arrival noted on 5
March 1942 along with an
estimate of three weeks to re-float
President Taylor. By 10 March
1942, some progress was reported
but efforts to free the ship were
unsuccessful and prospects to do so
described as "most unfavorable."
By 22 March 1942, the salvage units had been ordered to return awaiting a decision emerging from a
meeting with salvage specialists. After the meeting on 1 April 1942, an order from CinCPac to
COMSERFORPAC 3 April 1942 directed an expedition to salvage President Taylor. On 2 May 1942
the effort to salvage President Taylor was abandoned with the effort seen as good experience and an
indication to the vessel owners that the Navy would make the attempt. Under terms of the
supplemental vessels agreement WSA paid American President Lines $1,260,960 for the loss. On 9
March 1953 the remains of the ship were sold to North Coast Corporation for $5,220 with the
requirement the hull be scrapped on or before 6 April 1955. Scrapping began in 1954. (Source:

A LTERA PICKS DOF FOR FPSO AND FSO INSTALLATI ON CAMPAIGN AT
E NI ’ S A FRICAN OIL & GAS PROJECT
Altera Infrastructure secured 15-year contracts in October 2023 for the redeployment of the FPSO
15/34
Voyageur Spirit and the Nordic Brasilia shuttle tanker, which was expected to be converted into an
FSO. The UK company has now
awarded DOF a contract to install
the FPSO and FSO at Eni’s Baleine
Phase 2 project located off the
coast of Côte d’Ivoire. Under the
terms of the deal, the Norwegian
firm will be in charge of the
complete installation of seabed
mooring systems, flowline
between FSO and FPSO, and
associated equipment, as its
contract scope includes project
management, engineering,
transportation, installation, and hook-up of floating units in the field. DOF plans to mobilize its 2011-
built Skandi Skansen anchor handling vessel for the project, which is expected to take more than 130
vessel days. The project management and engineering are slated to begin immediately from the
Norwegian vessel owner’s offices in Bergen, Norway, and Aberdeen, Scotland. On the other hand, the
offshore operations are planned to start in Q3 2024. Mons S. Aase, CEO of DOF Group, commented:
“This award recognizes DOF’s solid performance within installation of floating units. We look
forward to executing the project safely and successfully.” Currently, the FPSO Voyageur Spirit and
the 2004-built Nordic Brasilia vessel are undergoing life extension work and field-specific
modifications at Drydocks World in Dubai. The 2008-built FPSO with a dead weight of 45,145 t
previously operated on the Huntington field in the North Sea until 2020. This vessel, which has a
length of 70 m and a breadth of 65 m, was at Kishorn Port and dry dock from July 2020 until April
2023. The Baleine East 1X well was drilled using the Saipem 12000 drillship. The well reached its
final depth of 3,165 m, in a water depth of about 1,150 m. Eni started production from the Baleine
field at the end of August 2023, less than two years after the discovery in September 2021 and less
than a year and a half after the final investment decision (FID) was made. This came after the FPSO
Firenze – renamed Baleine upon its mooring – sailed away from Dubai in April 2023 to the Baleine
field in Côte d’Ivoire. This FPSO has been refurbished and upgraded to increase its processing
capacity up to 15,000 bbl/d of oil and around 25 mmcf/d of associated gas. The Baleine field extends
over blocks CI-101 and CI-802. The start of Phase 2, which is expected by the end of 2024, will
increase field production to 50,000 bbl/d of oil and approximately 70 mscf/d of associated gas. The
third development phase aims to elevate field production to 150,000 bbl/d of oil and 200 mscf/d of
gas. (Source: Offshore Energy)
D ANISHCONTRACTOR INVESTS IN NEW ASSETS , UPGRADES OIL AND GAS

VESSELS
Danish subsea contractor JD-Contractor has acquired two vessels that it is converting for offshore
renewables work. “As a part of the company’s sustainability strategy, a decision was made to invest in
two ‘new’ vessels which had become redundant working in the oil and gas sector,” the company
explained. “The ships are currently being up-cycled to continue operations in offshore renewables and
the subsea construction sector.” The company is converting two vessels, the former Viking Vanquish
and former Maersk Detector. Viking Vanquish was acquired in April 2023 after having been laid up
for a number of years and currently going through the final phases of a major refurbishment project.
Once completed, the vessel will be renamed C-Installer. All seismic equipment has been removed and
16/34
a large working deck created which can be mobilized with equipment for laying and burying subsea
cables and other setups for
subsea construction. C-
Installer is expected to be in
operation from April 2024
onwards. In September
2023 JD-Contractor also
acquired AHTS Maersk
Detector from Maersk
Supply Service. The vessel
had been servicing the
offshore oil and gas sector
in Canada for more than a
decade before being laid up
in 2021. JD-Contractor is now in the final stages of updating the ship. Going forward it will be named
Detector and is scheduled to commence its first project, in the offshore renewables sector, in March
2024. It is also expected to continue servicing the offshore oil and gas sector, working in the spot
market. “With these additions to our fleet, JD-Contractor now has five DP2 installation vessels
supplemented by two DP1 multipurpose DP1 vessels and nine other units and barges for near-shore
construction,” the company concluded. (Source: Riviera by David Maxwell)

‘H UGE OPPORTUNITIES ’ FOR OSV OWNERS IN M EXICO , B RAZIL AND

L ATIN A MERICA
Latin and South America
represent substantial
opportunities for offshore support
vessel (OSV) owners, driven by
large discoveries over the last 10
years, notably in Mexico, Brazil,
Guyana and Suriname. In Mexico,
changes to the constitution in
2013 opened the country’s
offshore oil and gas market to
private and international
investment, laying the foundation
for “a success story” noted E-NAV
Offshore chief strategy officer
Diego A Aguilar. Presenting at
the Annual Offshore Support
Journal Conference, Awards and Exhibition in London in February, Mr Aguilar said some 59 licences
were awarded to international oil and gas developers, enabling US$32Bn in investment to date. One
of those international oil developers, Wintershall Dea, which has been in the Mexican Gulf since
2017, calls Zama field one of the world’s biggest shallow-water oil discoveries in the past 20 years. Its
latest success is a major oil discovery in Block 30, Kan Prospect, estimated to contain 200M to 300M
barrels oil equivalent (boe) in place. Stricter enforcement of cabotage laws limit ownership of vessels
that fly the Mexican flag by the Mexican Maritime Authority has tightened the availability of tonnage
in the market. US-based Hornbeck Offshore Services (HOS), which controlled about 60% of the
market’s large platform supply vessel (PSV) capacity, has moved its Mexican-flagged assets out of the
market because of these cabotage barriers, and has taken legal action to preserve its cabotage
privileges. Mexico is an important market for HOS, which generated US$62M in revenues from OSV
activities in the country in the first nine months of 2023 – more than twice the revenues it produced
during the same period in 2022. Overall, Mr Aguilar said there were “huge opportunities for OSV
owners” in the Zama field and Trio in the Mexican Gulf, with summer rates for OSVs moving
upwards to US$45,000-US$55,000 per day. Recent large deepwater discoveries in Guyana and
Suriname have generated a demand for large PSVs, with day rates like those in Mexico. “Suriname
will become as important as Guyana” said Mr Aguilar. Colombia offers some opportunity, but it is
moderated by political risk. In April 2022, ExxonMobil announced FID for the Yellowtail
development offshore Guyana, which was the fourth, and largest, project in the Staebroek Block. The
total investment is expected to reach US$12Bn and deliver a daily output of 250,000 barrels a day.
According to published data from Hess Corp as of March 2023, ExxonMobil’s partner in the
Yellowtail development, the Staebroek Block’s gross discovered recoverable resource estimate is more
than 11Bn boe. Other operators, such as TotalEnergies, have announced plans to invest in the region.
Brazil ’sold out’ The Brazilian OSV market is “effectively sold out” said Clarksons Brazil director Jens
Behrendt. Vessel utilisation rates for PSVs stand at 97% and the anchor handling tug supply fleet is
93%. Of the 33 vessels in layup, most were built in the 1980s and 1990s, requiring substantial
investment to reactivate and upgrade. Currently there are 483 OSVs operating in Brazil. And state-
owned energy company Petrobras is looking for more vessels; it has issued an request for interest,
which could see 10 PSV newbuilds and 16 subsea newbuilds built by 2028. And OSV demand will
18/34
continue to be robust in the near term, and should attract international OSV owners to Brazil, who
will be required to meet the country’s cabotage laws regarding crew requirements, said Mr Matthews.
Based on Rystad Energy industry data, Brazil is expected to receive the most deepwater oil and gas
investment worldwide between 2024 and 2027. Brazil has seen a significant increase in investment in
its upstream resources from private exploration and production companies since the 2014 downturn,
when Petrobras began selective asset sales to address its balance sheet issues. Supported by the current
oil price environment, many large international oil companies as well as local independents are
investing in deepwater exploration and development activities. Additionally, Petrobras has publicly
announced plans to spend approximately $65Bn on exploration and production activities from 2023
through 2027. From 2024 to 2027, 22 floating production, storage and offloading vessels will be added
to the current Brazilian fleet of 52 vessels in operation. Drilling units will grow modestly from 30 in
2024 to 33 in 2027. UDW floaters in the region were priced at US$430,000 to US$475,000 per day at
the end of 2023. (Source: Riviera by John Snyder)

BIMCO has established a

subcommittee to work on a
global standard contract for
the transport and installation
of offshore wind turbines.
The project has been
launched to support the
offshore wind industry as the
global demand for more
renewable sources of energy
increases. Work on the
contract, WINDSEACON,
was initiated through a series
of consultations with about
65 key market players.
Following consultation, a dedicated subcommittee and a large sounding board composed of a broad
range of industry leaders from companies around the world has been established. “During our
consultations with offshore wind experts, it became evident that the majority of the market was
using contracts reflecting a blend of construction contracts and BIMCO’s SUPPLYTIME charter
party. The consultations confirmed that there is a need for a targeted, balanced and commercially
viable standard contractual framework for the offshore wind industry,” says Stinne Taiger Ivø,
Deputy Secretary General at BIMCO, heading Contracts & Clauses and Support & Advice. The
project focuses on tackling the challenges faced by the offshore wind industry, ensuring flexibility in
the contractual framework, and keeping pace with the industry's continuous evolution. The
WINDSEACON contract will provide the framework to make legal and commercial negotiations
more effective and efficient, and the subcommittee is currently focusing on the transportation and
installation aspects of offshore wind turbines. As the work progresses, the subcommittee plans to
consult and obtain feedback from the sounding board. The subcommittee will also explore whether
additional US-specific provisions are needed, as the US market has different requirements than
Europe and Asia when it comes to offshore wind turbines. “The drafting team will bring their
collective expertise to the table to develop a new standard contract that will help shape the future of
offshore wind. The need for a targeted contract is growing and we are working on how it should be
constructed to support the demand for renewable energy sources,” says Ivø. (PR)

HISTORIC YARD
H ISTORY AND CONNECTION OF THE SHIPYARD AND M ILLINGEN

Due to its location on the Rhine, Millingen has been
home to skippers and river fishermen for centuries.
Some Millingen carpenters saw their opportunity and
built the first shipyard for repairs and the
construction of wooden ships in 1837. At the end of
the nineteenth century, a wharf for iron ships was
established for the first time, the wharf was then
purchased in 1896 and taken over by Mans Bodewes.
At the end of the 19th century, a shipyard was
established for the first time in Millingen aan de Rijn.
After about thirty years he left again, but the name
Bodewes was retained and associated with the
shipyard. The shipyard has changed owners a number
of times but has always remained known as Bodewes
shipyard until the takeover of Shipyard Millingen in
2018. The village of Millingen on the Rhine is
inextricably linked to the shipyard. Entire
generations and families worked at the shipyard,
many young men went to work at the shipyard
immediately after graduating from school. Here she
learned the trade in practice. In 1940 the Second World War broke out. The yard continued to
operate at a low level as a repair yard. The then director and his son ensured that a number of
essential machines were hidden to protect them from possible bombings. After the liberation of
Nijmegen in 1944, the front came closer to the shipyard, which brought work to a standstill. In the
last year of the war the shipyard suffered considerable damage, much had disappeared and vessels
had sunk. Buildings, ramp, winches, tools and electrical installations were destroyed. After the
liberation in 1945, everyone worked hard to bring the shipyard back to life. Initially, the shipyard
workers started manufacturing brick molds for the surrounding brick factories because there was a
high demand for bricks for
reconstruction. From 1958 to
1974 the shipyard experienced
its best years. At its peak, the
yard employed six hundred men.
A wide variety rolled off the
slopes: passenger ships, tankers,
supply ships and bank boats. The
large supply ships were mainly
intended for the construction of
oil platforms in the North Sea.
Smit-Lloyd developed strong
tugboats especially for that
purpose, dozens of these
tugboats have been delivered by
the shipyard in Millingen. In
28/34
1987 the shipyard had a new owner in the name of Damen Shipyards. From that moment on, the
yard has continuously completed inland vessels, both barges and tankers. Shipbuilding flourished
from 2003 to 2008, including at the shipyard in Millingen. At this time, the shipyard completed the
completion of approximately five hull inland vessels per year. The global economic crisis in 2008
was also felt at the shipyard in Millingen, orders for building new ships came to a standstill. A
reorganization took place in October 2010 and in 2013 Damen Shipyards decided to pull the plug. At
the end of January 2018, the horn will sound again through Millingen. “The horn sounds, the
shipyard wakes up,” is described in the Gelderlander. Gerd de Swart and Martijn van Haaren are
bringing the shipyard back to life, under the name Shipyard Millingen. (PR)

B REMERHAVEN ' S PORT INDUSTRY HAS ANOTHER FLOATI NG DOCK
Shipbuilding company RS Heise

operates the 34 meter long
floating dock “Wilhelmina” . In
the future, another floating dock
called “Wilhelmina” will be
available in the Bremerhaven
fishing port for maintenance
work on the hulls and propulsion
systems of smaller ships, tugs and
boats. Subject to the pending
official approval from the trade
inspection office, the 34 meter
long and 28 meter wide gray
floating dock will be put into
operation in the next few
months on the pier at the
shipbuilding company RS Heise
Schiffs- und Industrietechnik in the fishing port. For over 30 years, the company, which is now part
of the RS Group from Wilhelmshaven, has been carrying out repairs and maintenance work of all
kinds on and on ships on the over 220 meter long quay, but until now there was always a lack of a
suitable floating dock. At the location on Hoebelstrasse, which is the former site of the Sieghold
shipyard, a much larger floating dock was already in use back then. Late on Thursday evening, the
tug “Grossnordsee” belonging to the coastal service shipping company, Rendsburg, reached the
29/34
mouth of the Geeste with the floating dock from the Kiel Canal. Jan Stoll, operations manager at RS
Heise, has been working towards this moment for a few years, after an increasing number of owners
of smaller ships and inland waterway vessels were looking for a suitable docking location in the
Seestadt. However, due to the size of the floating and dry docks at Lloyd Werft and Bredo Dry
Docks, it is not always possible
to economically dock smaller
ships there. The mobile ship
lifts at the Inselmann boatyard
on Westkai in the fishing port
also only have a limited lifting
capacity, so that there is a gap
for docking space in the Lower
Weser area for smaller ships
and tugs. Jan Stoll, together
with the new owner of the
dock, the hydraulic
engineering company Colcete
from Rastede, would now like
to close this. The owner chose
this unusual dock name “Wilhelmina”. Traditionally, the around 17 different fleet members at
Colcrete, which has a more than 160 years of company history, usually the first names of family
members of the company. Stoll has looked at many different floating dock systems or systems over
the past few years, but it never really fit. The docks he was offered were too expensive, too big or
too old. They then found what they were looking for by chance in Stralsund, where the dock with
the original name “Dique Flotante 1” had been for sale for some time. The floating dock was built in
1977 near Astilleros in Seville, Spain, has an internal width of 20.9 meters and a load capacity of
around 700 tons. At the time, however, it was not built for docking ships, but rather for the
production and transport of large steel-concrete segments for hydraulic engineering. In June 2018,
the floating dock came to East Germany by tow train. First to the Warnow to Rostock-Schmarl, later
to the Strelasund, where Stralsunder Dockgesellschaft mbH, a subsidiary of Norcons GmbH based in
Sundhagen near Stralsund. Last autumn, the “Dicke Marie”, as the dock was now called in Stralsund,
came to the site of the former Volkswerft. Strela Shiprepair primarily carried out renovation and
conservation work on the underwater area of the dock for the new owner. Some steel plates were
changed there, the coating and zinc protection were renewed and flood and bilge flaps were
installed. Before commissioning at the new location in Bremerhaven, RS Heise employees will carry
out repair work on the technology, preserve the ballast water tanks and install the valve hydraulics.
These are necessary to flood the dock with water using gravity. The dock is then pumped again later
using air pressure. The dock itself will later be moored to the existing bollards at the north end of
the pier of the property on Hoebelstrasse; there is no need to set special dolphins. (Source: Weser

D AMEN SIGNS STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH S OUTH

A FRICA ’ S D EPARTMENT OF T RADE , I NDUSTRY AND C OMPETITION
Damen Shipyards Group has signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement with the Department of
Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) in South Africa as part of the National Industrial
Participation (NIP) programme. The agreement will see Damen undertake NIP activities in advance
for purposes of collecting NIP credits from domestic economic activity and fulfilling requirements
related to local industrial participation including investment, export sales, research and
development, technology transfer and transformation of the local economy. Under this agreement,
31/34
Damen Shipyards Cape Town (DSCT), a subsidiary of Damen, will continue its work of localisation
and industrial participation
to the benefit of the South
African shipbuilding
industry and economy.
Since commencing its
operations in South Africa,
Damen has contributed to
the development of, and
investment in, the local
shipbuilding and
manufacturing sectors. Its
contributions have included
the development of
personnel for highly skilled
employment, as well as widespread local procurement activities. Investing in local industry In 2008,
when the yard, formerly known as Farocean Marine, became part of the Damen Shipyards Group,
the company signed a similar, 10-year agreement with the then Department of Trade and Industry
(DTI). Since then, Damen has generated over 1 billion rand in credits. These have been collected
through various activities including direct investments and job creation. This has been both direct,
through employment at DSCT, and indirect, through the beneficial effects of local procurement.
Damen’s contribution to a sustainable South African shipbuilding sector also includes investment in
local business, and the manufacture of products for export markets. Such operations are in line with
the values of the Damen Shipyards Group, which aims at the development of local industry
wherever it operates. Damen has gained extensive experience in working with local industries all
around the world. A unique approach to shipbuilding Damen is supported in its aims by its unique
approach to shipbuilding. Having a large portfolio covering all sectors of the maritime industry, the
company delivers in the region of 150 vessels internationally each year. Additionally, Damen’s
business model is to construct its proven, standard designs on speculation for stock. As such, it can
ensure sustainable employment for the long-term. Damen has also participated, since 2020, in the
Defence Industrial Participation (DIP) programme. With this, the company has contributed to the
development of transformed companies, as well as Exempted Micro Enterprises (EME) and
Qualifying Small Enterprises (QSE), further creating employment opportunities and developing
export opportunities. Recognition for South Africa’s commitment Jan-Wim Dekker, COO of the
Damen Shipyards Group said, “The South African Government deserves recognition for its
commitment to improving the national economy by forming cooperations such as this one. The
investments that the government is making in vessels built in South Africa, for South Africa go
beyond increasing the country’s capabilities in the water. They also ensure the wider development
of manufacturing and a sustainable maritime industry that offers real employment opportunities in
the country. For that reason, Damen is very proud to have signed this Strategic Partnership
Agreement. We look forward to continuing our commitment to securing the maximum possible
benefit for the shipbuilding industry and people of South Africa.” Dr Tebogo Makube, the Chief
Director of both the Industrial Procurement and Industrial Participation within the DTIC, said, “We
are happy to be renewing our relationship with Damen. The company has a great track record in
supporting the industry and economy of South Africa. The previous years have demonstrated the
potential for our cooperation to have a wide-reaching, internationally positive impact for the
country. We’re pleased to have found a partner that is so visibly committed to doing the best for
South Africa. Partnerships such as this are of great importance for our country where job creation
32/34
and skills development are vital for much needed economic growth and stability.” (PR)

meest indrukwekkende onderdeel van de Deltawerken. De
kering is 9 kilometer lang en bestaat uit twee pijlerdamrijen
met in totaal 65 enorme betonnen pijlers, waar beweegbare
schuiven tussen zitten. De getijdenwerking in de
Oosterschelde is daardoor behouden, maar bij extreem
hoogwater gaan de schuiven dicht. De heer Bram Middel
vertelt over de bouwwijze en de vaak speciaal voor dit doel gebouwde vaartuigen. (PR)
