SHIP EFFICIENCY MOBILE SOLUTION FOR EFFICIENCY Eniram, now part of Wärtsilä, has launched Eniram Mobile to offer real-time decision-making support via mobile notifications. Eniram Mobile, developed with Royal Caribbean Cruises, was created to support situational awareness based on collected historical and real-time data coupled with predictive analytics. By making these insights transparent through mobile technology, captains, fleet managers, and senior executives get instant access to the information needed for effective and timely decision making. It makes planning more effective in view of safety and operations efficiency management. “Now is the time for the industry to harness the benefits of situational awareness,” said Johan Backas, Managing Director at Eniram. “Eniram Mobile offers an unprecedented level of transparency that not only leads to better decision making, but which also helps our customers develop their ways of working. It enables them to react fast on potential operational issues based on analytical insights.” The mobile notifications cover various operational aspects including safety, energy management and security. Decision makers get the latest information for speed over ground, trim, list, high wind and weather forecasts. The insights delivered via the mobile notifications are based on available vessel data and the analytical capabilities of the Eniram Insight Factory, which is in the centre of Eniram’s solutions. “We’ve anxiously been waiting for this. We can now distribute the right data to the right people to take the right decisions at the right time. The feedback has been unequivocally positive, even from the most senior captains,” said Patrik Dahlgren, SVP, Global Marine Operations for Celebrity Cruises, a Royal Caribbean Cruises company. Eniram Mobile was officially launched at Seatrade Cruise Global 2018. Type Approved to IMO MEPC 227 (64) MARIPUR NF CLARIMAR MF HULL PROTECTION CATHELCO EQUIPMENT FOR FOUR JACK-UPS Cathelco is supplying marine growth prevention systems (MGPS) for four jack-up barges owned by Gulf Marine Services, the operator of self-propelled, self-elevating support vessels. The systems will protect the barges against blockages in pipework caused by the growth of barnacles and mussels ACO Marine's new MARIPUR NF and CLARIMAR MF advanced wastewater management systems are the merchant, naval and megayacht sectors most effective solutions for meeting stringent IMO MEPC 227(64) rules. Compact and economical with the lowest operating costs of any sewage treatment plant, CLARIMAR MF and MARIPUR NF are proven to reduce coliform bacteria, TSS, COD, nitrogen and phosphorous content to levels significantly below the mandated requirements.

which can impair the efficiency of engine cooling systems and ancillary equipment. The systems will be installed over the coming months when the Kikuyu, Kawawa, Kudeta and Keloa return to the GMS yard in Abu Dhabi for scheduled maintenance work. “Bio-fouling organisms grow rapidly in warm, shallow waters and therefore Cathelco MGPS are widely used on jack-ups to prevent the problems caused by blockages in pipework,” said Stevenson Verghese, Managing Director, Cathelco Middle East. Cathelco will supply two types of MGPS systems for each of the vessels, one to provide protection when they are in transit with hulls floating on the water and the other for when the platforms are in the elevated position. The sea chest installations will consist of two pairs of copper and aluminium anodes connected to a control panel, whilst in the elevated position copper anodes will be used protect the submersible pumps. In operation, the copper anode produces ions which flow through the pipework and create an environment where mussel and barnacle larvae do not settle or grow. At the same time, the aluminium ions produce an anti-corrosive layer on the internal surfaces of pipes. POLLUTION CONTROL REMOVING BILGE RISKS WITH A BLUEBOX Alfa Laval has introduced a new tamper-proof oil content monitor (OCM) and data recorder that functions as a stand-alone solution for upgrading an existing oily water setup. Based on the BlueBox data recorder that is an integrated part of its PureBilge separator system, the standalone BlueBox SA monitors the discharge from existing bilge water treatment systems. If the oil content is above the set 5 or 15ppm limit, the BlueBox SA prevents the overboard discharge valve from opening, which ensures that no non-compliant discharge can occur. “For overboard discharge to take place, a whole range of conditions must be verified, such as the direction of the sample flow through the OCM,” said Shinya Tanehashi, Alfa Laval Global Sales Manager. “All key operational data, including GPS position, alarms and any unlocking of the BlueBox SA cover, is logged and stored for 18 months.” By installing the BlueBox SA to work with an existing oily water treatment system, shipowners can minimise the risk of oily water discharge. Not only does the BlueBox SA provide vital safeguards, it also sends a clear message to crews that environmental compliance is something to be taken seriously. “All of the data stored in the BlueBox SA can be exported in PDF format and downloaded to a USB memory stick,” Tanehashi explained. “That makes it a simple matter for the crew to show the vessel’s compliance to coast guard or Port State Control authorities.” ONE-STOP-SHOP FOR OIL SPILL RESPONSE Norwegian suppliers Framo, Maritime Partner, Norbit Aptomar, and NorLense have come together to create the OSRV (Oil Spill Recovery Vessel) Group to offer a complete oil spill response solution. “Our aim is to be a one-stop-shop where we pool our efforts and act as a total systems supplier of safe, highly functional, and well-tested technology. The emergency response equipment has undergone thorough testing and quality assurance drawing on 40 years of oil spill response experience,” said Jørgen Brandt Theodorsen, Area Manager, Oil & Gas Pumping Systems, at Framo. The OSRV Group offers a package solution that covers everything the customer needs, from detection and containment to recovery of the spill. All conducted with reliable equipment that can handle the challenges if an accident occurs. “The customer only has to deal with one of the partners to get access to a complete system that covers everything and is fully adapted in terms of functionality, volume and size,” added NorLense’s Roy Arne Nilsen. Aptomar’s radar and infrared camera identifies and produces an overview of the oil slick, whereas Maritime Partner's powerful, high-speed vessels are perfect for pulling equipment such as booms in place.
