USERS OF NAPA SOFTWARE CAN ACHIEVE MRV COMPLIANCE NAPA has updated its performance monitoring and reporting systems to enable simple, straightforward compliance with EU Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) legislation. Users of NAPA Shipping Solutions, ClassNK-NAPA GREEN and NAPA-DSME Power can easily generate MRV reports and include their performance monitoring software as their data collection method in the monitoring plan due on 31st August 2017. From 1st January 2018, vessels larger than 5000gt calling at any EU and EFTA (Norway and Iceland) port must monitor, report and verify their CO2 emissions. This data must be collected on a voyage-by-voyage basis and submitted to the EU electronically via the EMSA portal on either an annual or voyage basis. Companies must present a plan for compliance with this legislation by 31st August 2017, which must contain the method of collecting the monitoring data. To support customers in achieving compliance easily, NAPA software includes reporting features for EU MRV across its portfolio of performance monitoring systems. Users of NAPA Shipping Solutions, ClassNK-NAPA GREEN and NAPA-DSME Power can generate automatically created annual or voyage-by-voyage MRV reports and export them as CSV files, requiring only a small process change by crew. Crew must update the performance monitoring system with changes of activity, like being in port or at anchor, known as phase information. With that information, the performance monitoring system automatically completes the rest of the process, collecting data on fuel consumption from main engines, auxiliary engines, gas turbines, boilers and inert gas generators, and reporting for each engine the fuel type and fuel consumption data (where fuel meters are in use). This data is then automatically shared with shore-based teams, ready for export from NAPA Office as a CSV file and submission to the EMSA portal. Risto Kariranta, Director of Services, NAPA Shipping Solutions commented: “Complying with EU MRV presents a significant challenge globally for ship owners and operators with vessels visiting European waters. Determining data collection methods before the end of August, and completing that data collection, compiling and submitting reports from next year could all take significant man hours. As leaders in supporting productivity in ship operations, as well as supporting efficiency-led CO2 reductions, we are pleased to offer our customers systems that make this process as easy as possible for vessels with performance monitoring systems installed. “For each performance monitoring system NAPA supports, NAPA Shipping Solutions, ClassNK-NAPA GREEN and NAPA-DSME Power®, we have enabled simple, one-click report generation for MRV, enabling voyage-byvoyage or annual reporting to be completed as simply, and quickly as possible. This functionality has also been designed to meet reporting criteria and be compatible with the IMO’s fuel consumption data collection system from 2019.” 14
CLASSIFICATION PRELUDE ENTERS LR CLASS Shell’s floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility Prelude has officially entered into Lloyd's Register class. At 488m long, 74m wide and displacing about 600,000t of water, Prelude is the largest floating offshore facility in the world. Last month Prelude arrived at its operating location in the Browse Basin, offshore northwest Australia. It will be moored at a depth of 250m and will not be drydocked for the first 25 years of its expected 50-year operational life. The facility required around 260,000t of steel to build and its turret is the largest ever built. It has been designed to withstand category five cyclones and its technology has generated over 150 patents. LR has been actively involved with the project from the start, helping to ensure it will operate safely by applying FLNG expertise through classification, equipment certification, validation and verification against performance standards Prelude’s substructure and turret have been designed and constructed in accordance with LR’s Rules for Floating Offshore Installations at a Fixed Location and its topsides certified to an agreed set of industry codes and standards. LR also confirmed compliance of the facility with Shell’s design and engineering practices, where applicable, and the performance standards specified by Prelude’s safety case. Daryl Attwood, LR’s Prelude Project Director, commented: "It has been a great honour for us all to participate in this world class project, collaborating with an excellent group of clients represented by the best managers and technical experts from Shell, Technip, SBM, and SHI. LR project managers, design appraisal specialists and surveyors from Aberdeen, London, Dubai, Perth and Korea have contributed significantly to getting the facility to this stage, ably supported by colleagues certifying equipment packages literally around the world." The intended risk based classification scheme is expected to benefit from use of the latest in remote inspection technologies to gather accurate and repeatable survey data to allow a predictive and focused approach. The LR team in Perth will be welcoming colleagues from LR’s Geoje office in the coming months to assist in the transition from the yard through offshore commissioning to the operations phase. Jeff Baker, LR’s Offshore Business Development Manager for Australasia, said: "The LR Perth team is privileged to support this exciting, huge and complex project going ahead and to continue the strong business relationship between Shell and LR globally. By using the latest in ROV and AUV deployed equipment, we see big opportunities for improvement in the safety, accuracy and manner of offshore facility inspection in service and we anticipate that this will flow on to a new way of approaching classification." BEARINGS A NEW DIMENSION IN RENK ROLLER-BEARING TEST SYSTEMS Augsburg-based RENK Test System GmbH, a subsidiary of RENK AG, has delivered two unique test rigs to serve as the critical components in the world’s most powerful test centre for large bearings. Commissioned by SKF in Schweinfurt a few weeks ago, the test rigs will help to optimise the performance of future generations of large bearings. The objective is the development of even more compact, robust, lower-friction and longer-lasting large bearings. 15
