Dear Readers<br />
Some key segments of the maritime sector<br />
are achieving sound growth, despite the<br />
financial crisis. These include the offshore<br />
and cruise industries, suppliers of maritime<br />
communications systems and companies<br />
providing various ways of lowering costs<br />
and improving efficiency as well as reducing<br />
emissions.<br />
One consequence of the financial crisis,<br />
however, is that more and more vessels are<br />
being laid up or scrapped. In this issue, we<br />
therefore examine environment-friendly<br />
scrapping and products that help shipowners<br />
to lay up ships or operate vessels at<br />
reduced speed.<br />
New ships are to replace recycled ones,<br />
which is done with ever more sophisticated<br />
tools, such as CAD systems. We describe<br />
some trends, including new weight-saving<br />
composite superstructure from page 14.<br />
We look at how to protect the HVAC system<br />
in an environment-friendly way on page<br />
30. An important aspect of environmental<br />
protection is the total elimination of oil spill<br />
risk through stern tubes by using waterlubricated<br />
seals (page 22).<br />
Focusing on the offshore sector, we continue<br />
to examine the challenges of operating<br />
in deep waters, in this case mooring an<br />
FPSO for deep-water production (page 40).<br />
The debate on the relative advantages of<br />
MMS and V-SAT is continuing within the<br />
communications industry, while actually<br />
there is a use for both. To clarify the situation,<br />
we spoke with the CEO of one of the<br />
major players in the market, Tore Morten<br />
Olsen of Marlink. The exclusive interview is<br />
given on page 58. Another major communications<br />
provider, Stratos, explains the<br />
importance of cost control.<br />
Here’s wishing you an<br />
enjoyable read of this<br />
issue of Ship&Port.<br />
