DD522, Hall D – inside the Romanian Pavilion.Davie: Back in BusinessICE is pleased that the Davie Canada shipyard in Lévis, Quebec has now successfully re-started activities undernew owners. ICE has re-established its working relationship with Davie and is now supporting completion of theelectrical design for the three CECON offshore construction vessels, for which design and construction weresuspended over the last three years. ICE’s work is being performed in Tribon M3.Davie – Canada’s largest shipyard – has been in businessfor more than 150 years and has a proud trackrecord of having built a wide range of commercial andnaval ships plus oil rigs and heavy industrial products forthe nuclear, power generation and petrochemical industries.ICE’s Chairman years ago served in positions asplanning manager, project manager and technical directorof Davie, and in recent years a number of ICEemployees have been seconded to Davie to assist withdesign of advanced offshore service vessels.The picture shows an artist’s impression of the CECON offshoreconstruction vessel.International Contract Engineering Ltd. 19-21 Circular Road - Douglas - Isle of Man, IM1 1AF - www.icedesign.infoTelephone: +44 (0) 1624 623 190 - Fax: +44 (0) 1624 628 297- E-Mail: marketing@icedesign.info

INTERNATIONAL CONTRACT ENGINEERING - NEWSLETTER MAY 2013Scrubber Development ProjectICE has won a contract with Marine Exhaust Solutions,Inc. (MES) of Canada for developing a prototypescrubber installation for main engine exhaustgases.The innovative concept design was developed byMES. ICE’s scope of work is to optimize the MESdesign to facilitate installation of the equipmentinside the funnel of a chemical tanker owned byRederiet M.H. Simonsen ApS, Denmark. Theoptimization consists of size reduction and simplificationof the auxiliary piping systems.The scrubber technology is one option for meeting stricter limitations on SOx emissions from ships, initially applicablefor ships trading in any so-called emission control area (“ECA”).Similar scrubbers have been used for onshore installations, but this prototype development will be the first timethe MES concept is implemented on a vessel and ICE is proud to take part in this endeavour.In mid-March three ICE representatives visited the ship when she was docked for the 5-year inspection in Varna,Bulgaria, in order to assess available space for the new equipment and to discuss arrangement options with theOwner’s representative.ICE at AVEVA SeminarIn early March, Icepronav Engineering attended theAVEVA Marine & Offshore Seminar held in Malmo,Sweden.Nicu Olaru, AVEVA Marine System Administrator,Catalin Axente, AVEVA Marine Developer, FelixStanciulescu, Senior Engineer Hull, and ClaudiuNastase, CAD/CAM/CAE System Engineer representedICE at this event.Over the two-day event AVEVA support and developmentteams and customers from across the regionmade interesting presentations. The seminar provideda great opportunity to learn more about the latestrelease of AVEVA's software solutions for the shipbuildingindustry.The picture shows attendees at the meeting in Malmo.From Our Project PortfolioTrain Ferry to Dynamically Positioned FloatingProduction Unit (FPU) ConversionScope of Work: Detail design for steel structure, outfitting,pipingYear: 2006 -08Shipyard: Viktor Lenac, CroatiaOwner/Operator: Helix Energy Solutions Group Inc,USA.
