30th <strong>SMM</strong> with<br />
new Highlights<br />
Today, the 30th edition of <strong>SMM</strong> is coming<br />
to its end. After three exciting days<br />
exhibitors and visitors can experience again<br />
many highlights on stages and at stands<br />
Among other things, the MS&D safety conference continues<br />
today. In view of the current global political situation, the<br />
conference topics are more important than ever. And the protection<br />
of the maritime environment will also play a role again<br />
today. For example, on the Green Transition Stages. Another immensely<br />
important topic of today‘s trade fair day is the Career<br />
Forum, which is dedicated to the next generation of maritime<br />
professionals.<br />
Since 6 September, the <strong>SMM</strong> has been the meeting place of the<br />
Who’s Who of the maritime sector. For nearly 60 years <strong>SMM</strong> has<br />
been a magnet for shipowners, suppliers, shipyards and industry<br />
visitors from all around the world. »The mere fact that <strong>SMM</strong> can<br />
take place as a live event again after the break imposed by the coronavirus<br />
is a highlight in and by itself,« says Bernd Aufderheide,<br />
President and CEO, Hamburg Messe und Congress (HMC), before<br />
the start of the 30th edition of the fair. Celebrating its 30th<br />
anniversary at the same time makes this maritime gathering even<br />
more special, he adds. After a purely digital version took place in<br />
Just like old times: all eleven halls at <strong>SMM</strong> were fully booked<br />
2021, around 2,000 exhibitors presented themselves at the fair.<br />
And Hamburg’s expo chief estimates the number of visitors at<br />
40,000 from over 100 nations. All eleven halls were fully booked.<br />
All this is quite remarkable considering the humble beginnings<br />
of the industry fair: No more than 35 exhibitors set up their<br />

stands for the original »Schiff und Maschine«<br />
(Ship and Machinery) expo in<br />
Hamburg’s exhibition halls in 1963. By<br />
1968 that number had risen to 212. As<br />
more and more exhibitors joined, the title<br />
of the event grew longer, as well: »Ship<br />
and machinery« was augmented by<br />
»Meerestechnik«, or maritime technology.<br />
Until this day the Shipbuilding,<br />
Machinery and Maritime Technology<br />
trade fair has enjoyed sustained international<br />
success under its acronym,<br />
<strong>SMM</strong>. »I am sure the members of the<br />
Hamburg Association of Ship Engineers<br />
(Vereinigung der Schiffs-Ingenieure zu<br />
Hamburg) who founded the precursor to<br />
<strong>SMM</strong> would be proud of us. What was<br />
once a predominantly German event<br />
with some 200 exhibitors in 1968 is today<br />
a leading flagship fair with an international<br />
reach,« says Aufderheide.<br />

Focus today<br />
This year <strong>SMM</strong> more than ever focuses on<br />
the maritime energy transition, the digital<br />
transformation and climate change. »We<br />
have consciously reduced some of the exhibition<br />
areas in favour of the Transition<br />
Stages to give participants more room to<br />
present their ideas and product novelties<br />
in an open forum,« explains Claus-Ulrich<br />
Selbach, Business Unit Director at HMC.<br />
There were three stages in total, each<br />
dedicated to a particular theme, like<br />
»Green«, »Digital« and »Cruise & Ferry«.<br />
Following each day’s programme of<br />
lectures and presentations, the new networking<br />
format »Wine o’ clock« provided<br />
additional opportunities to get answers<br />
and establish new business contacts. <br />

Everyone must<br />
work together<br />
Germany is still one of the largest<br />
shipowning nations in the world<br />
and a competitive shipping location from<br />
which, among other things, the second<br />
largest container ship fleet in the world is<br />
managed. The German merchant fleet<br />
comprises almost 1,900 ships and is the<br />
carrier of world trade and an essential<br />
medium for the strong German export of<br />
goods. More than ten years of the crisis<br />
lie behind shipping, especially in Germany.<br />
It is, therefore, more than gratifying<br />
that stability has finally returned to<br />
the shipping markets in the past two<br />
years. However, one or two good years<br />
will not be enough to handle the challenges<br />
ahead of us. Long-term stability is<br />
essential because the challenges and the<br />
resulting need for investment in shipping<br />
remain diverse in every respect.<br />
First and foremost, the war in Ukraine,<br />
which the VDR condemns in the strongest<br />
possible terms, should be mentioned<br />
here. Whenever the war ends, the shipping<br />
markets will have changed for a long<br />
time. Today about 40 % of the world‘s<br />
merchant fleet transports energy. It is certain<br />
that because of the war, trade routes<br />
will shift in the long term, especially<br />
when it comes to transporting energy by<br />
sea. A lot of the global energy policy and<br />
energy markets are being reorganised,<br />
and the VDR assumes that shipping will<br />
play an even more critical role in energy<br />
transport in the future.<br />
But also, the COVID-pandemic continues<br />
to challenge maritime shipping –<br />
the pandemic situation still has a significant<br />
disruptive influence on logistical<br />
processes in important shipping<br />
centres around the world. The spring<br />
lockdown in the world‘s largest port of<br />
Shanghai, where almost 200 ships were<br />
waiting in the queue for a berth for up<br />
to a week at peak times, showed the<br />
world how vulnerable the maritime<br />
supply chains are. There is still a lot of<br />
work ahead of us in the shipping community<br />
to handle such lockdown situations.<br />
And finally, climate protection: Converting<br />
the entire world merchant fleet to<br />
climate-neutral propulsion technology is<br />
an enormous feat and probably the greatest<br />
challenge for shipping at the moment.<br />
In the fall of 2021, world shipping sent a<br />
clear signal that it wants to operate climate-neutral<br />
globally in 2050 – the »how«<br />
must now be clarified in a joint effort with<br />
politics, the mineral oil industry, engine<br />
manufacturers and research. Everyone<br />
must work together because neither<br />
emissions nor climate protection stops at<br />
borders. To achieve our self-imposed goal,<br />
we need a fuel revolution. Can we manage<br />
this joint effort? Yes, of course, if we only<br />
want to. With this in mind, we look forward<br />
to discussing how we can master all<br />
these challenges together and wish everyone<br />
an interesting <strong>SMM</strong> 2022!<br />

»Ship of the year« named at <strong>SMM</strong><br />
Ship of the Year 2022 goes to a vessel that not only offers many technical innovations<br />
»but also has great transfer value to other vessels in this group, as well as in the maritime<br />
sector in general«, the jury explained the decision to give the award to e-ferry »Medstraum«<br />
Ship of the Year 2022 is the Norwegian<br />
electric passenger ferry »Medstraum«.<br />
It is the world’s first zero-emission, electrically<br />
powered high-speed ferry in regular<br />
service. For four years, a European consortium<br />
in the TrAM research project worked<br />
on revolutionary methods to develop electric<br />
passenger ferries faster and more costeffectively<br />
in the future – and to make our<br />
mobility more sustainable. The approaches,<br />
which involved the Fraunhofer<br />
Institutes for Mechatronics Design Technology<br />
IEM and the Fraunhofer Institute<br />
for Industrial Engineering IAO, are expected<br />
to save 70 % development time and<br />
25 % manufacturing costs for future ferry<br />
projects.<br />
Corvus Energy recommended the Corvus<br />
Dolphin Power ESS from its portfolio<br />
of ESSs for this fast ferry application—a<br />
147-passenger catamaran operating<br />
around the clock with crossings lasting<br />
between 35 and 40 min. The Corvus Dolphin<br />
ESS on board MS Medstraum has<br />
battery capacity of 1524 kWh and shore<br />
charging power of 2.3 MW. The lightweight<br />
Corvus Dolphin Power ESS, combined<br />
with the ferry’s other innovative<br />
lightweight and streamlined design features,<br />
enable the fast ferry to travel at<br />
high speeds energy-efficiently. »Fast ferries<br />
require a lot of energy, so we needed<br />
to make ›Medstraum‹ lighter and a lot<br />
23 knots and a total of 150 passengers: The »Medstraum« goes into regular service<br />
more efficient than traditional fast ferries.<br />
It is revolutionary that a vessel of this<br />
size can operate at 23 knots for an entire<br />
hour by electricity alone,« says Edmund<br />
Tolo, Head of R&D at Fjellstrand, the<br />
shipyard that built the vessel.<br />
»Medstraum« is the first vessel resulting<br />
from the TrAM (Transport: Advanced<br />
and Modular) project, funded by<br />
the European Union’s EU Horizon 2020<br />
program and the Rogaland County<br />
Council, and facilitated by the Norwegian<br />
cluster Maritime CleanTech.<br />
»Medstraum« recently went in operation<br />
on the commuter route between<br />
Stavanger and Hommersåk on the west<br />
coast of Norway. »Even though operating<br />
on our least energy-demanding route,<br />
›Medstraum‹ will cut our emissions by<br />
1,500 t a year,« said Mikal Dahle, Project<br />
Manager at Kolumbus, which operates<br />
ten conventional fast ferries.<br />
It is estimated that if the technology<br />
from this year‘s winner is transferred to<br />
all similar vessels in Norway, emissions<br />
will be reduced by 500,000 t/year. <br />

NORTHERN XPLORER<br />
LOI signed for world’s first zero emission cruise vessel<br />
The ships are to be equipped with environmentally friendly technologies, including hydrogen fuel cells and renewable auxiliary power<br />
© Northern Xplorer<br />
Rolf Sandvik, CEO of Northern Xplorer – well known as the<br />
dynamo behind The Fjords’ award-winning battery-powered<br />
sightseeing vessels »Vision of The Fjord« and »Future of The<br />
Fjord« signed an LOI (Letter of Intent) with Portugal’s West<br />
Sea Shipyard during <strong>SMM</strong> for the projecting and construction<br />
of the world’s first zero-emission cruise ship. The<br />
signing took place on Thursday 8th September at the ABB<br />
stand. ABB Marine & Ports is Northern Xplorer’s technology<br />
partner for this groundbreaking project, which will involve<br />
fully electric propulsion using batteries and hydrogen fuel<br />
cells and represents a »new paradigm for sustainable operations<br />
in the cruise industry«.<br />
Norwegian company Northern Xplorer is planning a series of<br />
hydrogen- and battery-powered cruise ships that will enter service<br />
in 2024 and allow visitors to experience nature reserves. In<br />
Norway, a government regulation that will take effect in 2026<br />
will make zero-emission ship operations mandatory in the<br />
Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord World Heritage sites. »This will<br />
mean the end of polluting cruise ships sailing in the world’s first<br />
emission-free marine areas. The Northern Xplorer offers the<br />
perfect zero-emission solution with a strong focus on local<br />
value creation and empowerment,« says company founder and<br />
CEO Sandvik.<br />
A series of 14 vessels is currently planned, each accommodating<br />
up to 300 passengers in 150 cabins and served by approximately<br />
100 crew members.<br />
The ships are to be equipped with environmentally friendly<br />
technologies, including all-electric propulsion, battery storage,<br />
hydrogen fuel cells and renewable auxiliary power (wind and<br />
solar). Sophisticated HVAC systems are expected to protect<br />
against the spread of pathogens, while extensive use of recyclable<br />
materials is expected to address circularity. In addition, the ships<br />
will be equipped with advanced LADAR technology to detect<br />
plastic waste in the sea and raise awareness of marine pollution,<br />
according to plans. Multi Maritime designed the eye-catching<br />
cruise vessel, with expected delivery at the start of the 2025/2026<br />
cruise season.<br />

A&R’s trainees against plastic waste<br />
Oceans and rivers worldwide are contaminated with plastic waste. The shipyard Abeking &<br />
Rasmussen is taking action against this with the HiveX platform. A prototype is already in<br />
operation in Italy, another is being designed. Trainees play a major role in the project<br />
Trainees building the waste collection platform<br />
In the course of its 115-year history, the<br />
traditional shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen<br />
has always been willing to explore<br />
new avenues and to get involved<br />
outside its traditional fields of activity. So<br />
no one was surprised when the trainees<br />
got involved with a forward-looking project.<br />
Through a TV appearance in 2019,<br />
Toralf Zimmermann, Head of Research,<br />
Development and Innovation at A&R,<br />
became aware of the association Pacific<br />
Garbage Screening. At that time, no one<br />
© A&R<br />
could have imagined that this would develop<br />
into a long-term and trusting collaboration.<br />
The association, now renamed<br />
EverWave Community, and its<br />
associated social startup, Everwave<br />
GmbH, have declared war on plastic<br />
waste in rivers and oceans. »Every year,<br />
over 12 mill. t of plastic waste ends up in<br />
our oceans. We, the people, are responsible<br />
for this. Through our behaviors and<br />
consumption, we ingest tens of thousands<br />
of plastic particles per year, including<br />
through our food, clothing and<br />
hygiene products. This, in turn, can have<br />
an impact on our health. Our oceans are<br />
extremely polluted by almost invisible<br />
mountains of garbage. This plastic waste<br />
threatens biodiversity and the lives of all<br />
marine life. Animal food chains and habitats<br />
are being massively disrupted,«<br />
says Tilman Flöhr, CTO at Everwave.<br />
In order to protect the oceans from the<br />
masses of waste, Everwave is already<br />
starting with the rivers, the main pathways<br />
for the plastic into the oceans. For<br />
this purpose, a stationary platform system<br />
was developed that continuously collects<br />
the plastic waste in an environment-<br />

The first platform built by A&R‘s trainees is already in use near Padua<br />
ally friendly way in order to recycle it<br />
afterwards. This is where Abeking & Rasmussen<br />
came in. Toralf Zimmermann remembers:<br />
»The commitment and enthusiasm<br />
for their cause made a lasting<br />
impression on me. However, there were<br />
some challenges to be mastered in terms<br />
of shipbuilding that did not necessarily<br />
correspond to the classic tasks of our design<br />
engineers.« Solutions were quickly<br />
found. In cooperation with the Institute<br />
of Hydraulic Engineering and Water<br />
Management at RWTH Aachen University,<br />
two »primotype« test series were<br />
checked for functionality in the laboratory.<br />
These findings formed the basis for<br />
the realization of the first prototype.<br />
This prototype was built by the apprentices<br />
of Abeking & Rasmussen. The<br />
Welding work<br />
training department of A&R, which has<br />
just been awarded Top trainer by the<br />
Chamber of Industry and Commerce for<br />
the umpteenth time – approximate 10 %<br />
of the workforce are trainees and have<br />
been for many years – became the construction<br />
site. Here, the buoyancy bodies<br />
were welded and the entire platform was<br />
assembled. For Helge Ziems-Gillerke,<br />
head of the A&R training department,<br />
this project was an exceptional opportunity<br />
to make a contribution to the environment<br />
with the ship-yard‘s junior<br />
staff. »Seeing the finished platform in the<br />
Weser and experiencing that the concept<br />
works was the absolute highlight for the<br />
trainees.«<br />
The platform »HiveX«<br />
HiveX is everwave’s stationary system<br />
and can collect plastic waste continuously,<br />
in an energy-efficient and environmentally<br />
friendly way. The platform<br />
is capable of collecting up to 5 t of plastic<br />
per day and is designed to allow fish to<br />
swim through it unimpeded. Its modular<br />
system allows it to be adapted to local<br />
conditions and it can also be designed in<br />
combination with other modules.<br />
The prototype is already in use under<br />
real conditions. In Italy, near Padua, the<br />
platform is helping to reduce plastic<br />
waste discharge into the Gulf of Venice.<br />
This is far from the end of the collaboration<br />
between Abeking & Rasmussen and<br />
Everwave. A catamaran for actively collecting<br />
plastic waste is in the design<br />
phase. This, too, is to be built by the trainees.<br />
»We are very proud that we can<br />
contribute to ridding our rivers and<br />
oceans of plastic waste,« says Toralf Zimmermann.<br />

FH Kiel exhibits at <strong>SMM</strong> for the first time<br />
For the first time, the University of Applied<br />
Sciences (UAS) will present its maritime<br />
study and research programs at the<br />
<strong>SMM</strong>. Among the courses offered by Kiel<br />
UAS are shipbuilding and maritime engineering<br />
as well as renewable offshore<br />
energies. These and other maritime research<br />
projects will be presented by the<br />
Department of Mechanical Engineering<br />
at the trade fair.<br />
Kiel UAS will be a co-exhibitor at the<br />
stand of Wirtschaftsförderung und Technologietransfer<br />
Schleswig-Holstein<br />
GmbH (WTSH) in Hall B7, Stand 128.<br />
»Supported by the university‘s technology<br />
transfer department, the UAS Research<br />
and Development Center and university-affiliated<br />
start-ups, we will provide<br />
exciting insights into current research<br />
projects,« reports Dr.-Ing. Hendrik<br />
Dankowski, professor at the Institute<br />
of Shipbuilding and Maritime Technology.<br />
One of the projects is the research<br />
carrier »MS Wavelab«, which the UAS is<br />
helping to develop as part of the CAPTN<br />
Förde Areal project. The model used for<br />
experiments on propulsion and flow behavior<br />
will be on display as an exhibit.<br />
The CAPTN initiative (Clean Autonomous<br />
Public Transport Network) is currently<br />
working, among other things, to<br />
create an autonomous, sustainable ferry<br />
for the Kiel Fjord.<br />
In addition to the autonomous shipping<br />
research project, fair visitors will<br />
also find extensive information on other<br />
research areas and the maritime study<br />
and research opportunities at Kiel UAS.<br />
»We are the largest university of applied<br />
sciences in Schleswig-Holstein,« Dankowski<br />
emphasizes. »We are an important<br />
player in the field of innovation and<br />
technology transfer in the northernmost<br />
German state and are well networked far<br />
beyond the region. This makes us a reliable<br />
partner for industry, associations<br />
and government institutions.«<br />
The study of shipbuilding and maritime<br />
technology can look back on a tradition of<br />
almost 120 years, dating back to the »Königlich<br />
Höhere Schiffs- und Maschinenbauschule<br />
Kiel«, founded in 1903.<br />
In the meantime, three modern maritime<br />
degree programs are offered at the Department<br />
of Mechanical Engineering:<br />
Shipbuilding and Maritime Engineering<br />
as Bachelor‘s and Master‘s degree programs,<br />
as well as the Bachelor‘s degree<br />
program Renewable Offshore Energies<br />
(EOE). A total of six professors at the institute<br />
cover the entire field of shipbuilding<br />
and maritime engineering education<br />
in the best possible way with their expertise<br />
gained through many years of practice.<br />
With its laboratories including a circulating<br />
tank, wind tunnel, strength and<br />
bolting laboratory for offshore plants,<br />
Kiel UAS offers modern possibilities for<br />
applied research and practice-oriented<br />
teaching. In particular, the close linkage<br />
of sustainable energy generation on and<br />
from the sea and the use in a future climate-neutral<br />
shipping make Kiel UAS an<br />
innovative university. In the winter semester<br />
2021/22, 177 Bachelor‘s and 44<br />
Master‘s students are enrolled in the<br />
Shipbuilding and Maritime Engineering<br />
program; 63 young people are studying<br />
EOE.<br />
Interested parties will find Kiel UAS at<br />
the WTSH‘s North German joint stand in<br />
Hall B7, Stand 128. Hendrik Dankowski<br />
and his team are looking forward to discussions<br />
on the future of the maritime industry<br />
and requirements for practical<br />
university education.<br />

event,« ballast water treatment specialist Desmi states. After<br />
sales and service has during the past year been high on the company’s<br />
agenda »and with the establishment of our affiliated<br />
Desmi DeServe company we now have service stations strategically<br />
organized around the world, ready to support our customers,<br />
especially but not limited to our Ballast Water Treatment<br />
Systems and a growing interest of our energy efficient automation<br />
system called OptiSave, to support the demand for immediate<br />
and local services«.<br />
DESMI has a long tradition for participating in various groups<br />
and organizations for supporting the shipping industry with a<br />
greener profile and reducing the carbon footprint. Among others<br />
we have been a member of Green Ship of the Future with a<br />
number of case studies for reducing the total power consumption<br />
as much as possible though innovative technologies and great<br />
utility of the energy demand for operating the fleet without any<br />
compromises on safety and reliability of the crew, owners and environments.<br />
Currently, the company is performing several feasibility<br />
studies and installations of our fully automated OptiSave system<br />
for optimized performances of main sea and freshwater cooling<br />
Ballast water specialist Desmi has high expectationis for this year’s <strong>SMM</strong><br />
system and Engine room ventilation fan system. The savings<br />
have proven to be significant in regards to saved fuels. »However,<br />
indeed more important, the reduced emissions as a result<br />
of a more efficient operation is of a great value for the specific<br />
vessel, and the EEXI index recently being mandatory introduced<br />
for the operating fleet. A white paper of the OptiSave system<br />
is uploaded on our homepage for free downloading,«<br />
Desmi informs.<br />
Another and equally important area where Desmi are contributing,<br />
is to improve the new building designs. Currently,<br />
Desmi is part of an international working group headed by Danish<br />
Standard and the aim is to create a new ISO standard<br />
covering a greater holistic view of the equipment and system<br />
installation in the engine room for superior integration and reducing<br />
of the total carbon footprint. »As a leading manufacturer<br />
and with an extensive experience we consider these projects<br />
as our commitment to the maritime market and a sustainable<br />
shipping industry,« the company says, adding: »Being the<br />
leading company supplying pumps and associated systems to<br />
most of the scrubber manufacturers we are very dedicated to<br />
the development of pumps and pumping systems for achieving<br />
marine decarbonisation with carbon capture technologies.<br />
New material combinations will be tested during the coming<br />
period to ensure the right products and a safe and reliable operation<br />
of the technologies for capturing the carbon onboard<br />
the operating fleet. «<br />
Entering the Cargo market with Cargo Pumps for LPG carriers<br />
are being introduced with a pump model with an innovative design.<br />
The models are developed in close cooperation with owners<br />
and highly acknowledged service providers for creating the best<br />

MAN ENGINES<br />
Sustainable propulsion solutions for workboats<br />
MAN Engines is focusing on sustainable propulsion solutions at<br />
<strong>SMM</strong> 2022 and is presenting two ways of reducing CO2<br />
emissions for workboats. The MAN Smart Hybrid Experience<br />
enables sailing and anchoring without any emissions, and with<br />
the dual fuel engine, exhaust emissions can be noticeably reduced<br />
when operating on hydrogen. »Our goal is to support our customers<br />
with environmentally friendly drives. MAN Engines<br />
offers a wide range of solutions for this,« states Mikael Lindner,<br />
Head of MAN Engines. The MAN Smart HYBRID Experience is<br />
based on a conventional marine engine, which is connected to the<br />
permanent-magnet synchronous motor/alternator by an electromagnetic<br />
clutch. The marine gearbox is in turn flanged to this<br />
via another clutch. The electric motor generator unit from the<br />
MAN Smart HYBRID Experience can produce a rated power of<br />
184 kW or 368 kW, at an extremely high efficiency rating of up to<br />
96 %. The permanent-magnet synchronous motor/alternator is<br />
160 mm long at 184 kW, or 320 mm at 368 kW. Its diameter is<br />
560 mm. The electromagnetic clutch means that the engines do<br />
not have to be stopped to change the operating mode. This<br />
changeover can be made during operation – including as an<br />
emergency function – without interrupting the power, making<br />
operation much more convenient.<br />

»A start of a new era«<br />
Rolf Stiefel, Regional Marine Chief Executive for Central Europe at Bureau Veritas talks<br />
about the French classification society’s motto for this <strong>SMM</strong>, new technologies and his<br />
views on chances and challenges in the maritime industry<br />
»It‘s what unites us« is Bureau Veritas<br />
motto for this <strong>SMM</strong>. What does it stand<br />
for? And what is the idea behind it?<br />
Rolf Stiefel: The shipping industry is at<br />
the start of a new era, with new stakeholders,<br />
new challenges and new priorities.<br />
There is also a significant change<br />
in mindsets from a broad range of shipping<br />
stakeholders, with a greater awareness<br />
of issues connected to decarbonisation<br />
and more broadly to sustainability.<br />
It is also linked to new society-wide<br />
attitudes, calling for climate action, environmental<br />
protection, and social justice.<br />
At Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore,<br />
we share a drive to leave the maritime<br />
world in a better place than we<br />
found it. It’s what unites us, our passion<br />
for the oceans and our desire to not just<br />
protect our seas, but to shape a better<br />
maritime world for future generations.<br />
How can the maritime industry do<br />
more to protect the oceans?<br />
Stiefel: The ocean has become stakeholder<br />
in its own right. It is our role not<br />
just to protect life at sea, ships and assets,<br />
or help prevent pollution, but to<br />
also more actively preserve and protect<br />
our blue planet for future generations<br />
and to deliver ‘a better maritime world’.<br />
The shipping´s decarbonization transition<br />
will require the development and<br />
introduction of a multitude of new<br />
technologies to increase efficiency,<br />
eliminate GHG emissions and reduce<br />
further impacts on the blue planet.<br />
What do you think is the biggest challenge<br />
for maritime companies right<br />
now?<br />
Stiefel: It is hard to overstate the scale of<br />
the transformation that the shipping industry<br />
faces right now – with major<br />
shake-ups due to greater digitalisation,<br />
tighter regulation, increased scrutiny by<br />
downstream economic actors, and<br />
growing ambitions to reduce GHG<br />
emissions towards a zero-carbon industry.<br />
Any introduction of new technologies<br />
and potential alternative carbon<br />
neutral fuels needs to be safe and<br />
sound to ensure shipping can continue<br />
to play its vital role in the supply chain<br />
of the global economy.<br />
Beside the challenges around the propulsion<br />
systems for the ships of the future<br />
the digitalisation is the biggest<br />
challenge and opportunity at the same<br />
time. Data from onboard systems can<br />
be combined with data from class societies<br />
to optimise operational performance,<br />
ensure regulatory compliance,<br />
and minimise the impact on the environment<br />
to support shipping’s sustainability<br />
transition.<br />
Industry wide collaboration to ensure<br />
fast, safe and economic development<br />
and introduction of these new technologies<br />
will also be critical for us all in<br />
shipping. The related cost of a zerocarbon<br />
shipping will need to be redistributed<br />
to greater society the industry<br />
is serving. Shipping will continue to<br />
have tremendous value as it is the cheapest<br />
and most efficient form of commercial<br />
transport and will be essential<br />
for connecting future low-carbon<br />
centres of production with markets for<br />
food, goods and energy. At BV, we recognise<br />
that we are all going to be starting<br />
the decarbonisation journey from<br />
different places and move at different<br />
speeds, and we are there to support our<br />
clients wherever they are on their sustainability<br />
journey.<br />
How can you, as a classification society,<br />
support your customers and<br />
partners in overcoming these challenges?<br />
Stiefel: With our technical expertise, capabilities,<br />
and vision for ‘a better maritime<br />
world’, we are in a unique position<br />
to support the shipping industry in its<br />
transition towards sustainability. The<br />
ultimate role of a class society is to provide<br />
trust between marine stakeholders.<br />
Class has always evolved, using its ex-<br />

including wind propulsion. With customer’s<br />
demands for sustainability, there<br />

If you dare to look into the future and<br />
look ten, twenty years ahead – what do<br />
you think will be the biggest issues that<br />
will keep Bureau Veritas busy?<br />
Stiefel: In the foreseeable future the<br />
decarbonization and the introduction<br />
of new safe technologies to achieve<br />
these targets will keep us busy, there is<br />
no question about that. Another challenge<br />
for the industry will be talent.<br />
Talent will be at the heart of shipping’s<br />
transition. Experienced and welltrained<br />
crews will be essential to operate<br />
the ships of the future, which are increasingly<br />
complex technologically<br />
and will be powered by different, alternative<br />
fuels that each present their own<br />
challenges (density, toxicity). Class<br />
plays a vital role to protect the safety of<br />
seafarers and ensure they have the<br />
right training.<br />
One of the key challenges for class, as<br />
well as for shipping in general, will be<br />
to find and nurture the right people to<br />
drive this tremendous period of<br />
change. The growing focus on digitalisation<br />
will broaden the professional<br />
purview of the marine industry to include<br />
specialists on cybersecurity, AI<br />
and robotics, which will bring more diversity<br />
in the marine industry.<br />

GREEN SHIP<br />
POWERED BY<br />
Green shipping running in line<br />
with cost savings<br />
Patrol ship »Bamberg« with Piennig propellers<br />
© Piemimg<br />
Coming from the maintenance & service<br />
works on propeller hubs, Piening<br />
Propeller has developed a way of cost<br />
savings, combined with Green shipping.<br />
The use of biodegradable oil in Controllable<br />
Pitch Propellers can have the effect<br />
of attacking metals and resulting in a<br />
more rapid wear in between the components,<br />
which often ends in extensive<br />
welding and machining works on hub<br />
and blade carriers, as Piening has carried<br />
out for different customers on different<br />
brands of CPPs.<br />
The solution in the design of the Piening<br />
Conrollable Propeller (PCP) comes<br />
with the use of Composite components in<br />
all highly stressed bearings. Therewith<br />
the reconditioning of hubs and blade carriers<br />
is not required, you only have to replace<br />
components. You no longer need to<br />
remove the hub completely to undertake<br />
service works. And after all that is what is<br />
most important in the shipping industry:<br />
The costs for reconditioning will be decreased,<br />
which in turn lowers dock times,<br />
dock costs, downtime.<br />
Furthermore it is possible to use just<br />
water as hydraulic medium instead of<br />
oil, avoiding the risk of environmental<br />
pollution. This makes an amazing benefit<br />
for customers and the highlight is – to<br />
do something for the environment on<br />
the one hand and save money on the<br />
other.<br />
The Piening Controllable Propeller<br />
As for operational efficiency and minimal<br />
maintenance, the PCP’s blades are<br />
designed for simplified assembly and disassembly,<br />
and can be mounted from the<br />
inside or outside of the hub. Made of<br />
identical components for left- and rightturning<br />
propellers, thus reducing the<br />
number of different parts that the user<br />
has to work with and remember.<br />
PCP diameters will therefore vary in<br />
size – anywhere between 1. m and 5.4 m<br />
– and power – spanning a band of<br />
300–10.000 kW, depending on application<br />
and customer requirements.<br />
However, the »PCP – Piening Controllable<br />
Propeller« complies with stringent,<br />
global green shipping regulations.<br />
DNV approval<br />
Precisely the composite materials were<br />
tested in complex test procedures at Piening<br />
facilities on a 650 mm large PCP hub<br />
supervised by the classification society<br />
DNV. The applied loads correspond to an<br />
output of 3.300 kW by 440 revolutions<br />
per minute.<br />
After more than two million executed<br />
pitch setting cycles, which were carried<br />
out under permanent full load, DNV has<br />
confirmed an outstanding result in<br />
terms of wear resistance. Based on this<br />

How will the ship of the future run?<br />
Sustainable fuels and innovative technologies enable CO 2 -neutral or CO 2 -free propulsion<br />
concepts for ships. By: Lucie Maluck<br />
Tug propulsion solution with fuel cells and batteries<br />
© Rolls-Royce<br />
The tugboat of the future will run on<br />
batteries... or on fuel cells... or both?<br />
And the ferry with combustion engines<br />
using sustainable fuels... in combination<br />
with batteries and electric motors... or<br />
also with fuel cells? »The question of the<br />
propulsion system of the future is complex,«<br />
says Tobias Kohl, Director Application<br />
Engineering Marine at Rolls-<br />
Royce. That‘s because the possibilities are<br />
many. While until a few years ago a diesel-mechanical<br />
propulsion system was<br />
the norm and a diesel-electric propulsion<br />
system was modern, today many new<br />
combinations of different energy sources,<br />
converters and storage systems are already<br />
available or under development.<br />
The only thing that is clear is that in<br />
order to meet the International Maritime<br />
Organization‘s (IMO) target of reducing<br />
CO 2<br />
emissions from shipping by 50 percent<br />
by 2050 compared with 2018, new<br />
fuels will be needed, and with them new<br />
propulsion concepts. And these will vary<br />
depending on the application.<br />
When energy density is in<br />
demand: methanol as a fuel<br />
Internal combustion engines will continue<br />
to play an important role. In the future,<br />
however, these will often no longer<br />
be powered by fossil diesel, but increasingly<br />
by sustainable fuels such as HVO,<br />
which is already available at present, or<br />
e-methanol in the future. »We are clearly<br />
focusing on methanol as a marine fuel for<br />
the future and want to be a pioneer here,«<br />
confirms Denise Kurtulus, Vice President<br />
Global Marine at Rolls-Royce. The energy<br />
density of this fuel is high compared to<br />
other sustainable fuels, and its liquid state<br />
makes it easy to store and refuel at ambient<br />
temperatures. Even existing infrastructure<br />
can continue to be used in<br />
many cases. The methanol tanks can be<br />
flexibly arranged in the ship. In addition<br />
to reduced complexity, the more attractive<br />
investment costs are another advantage<br />
of the methanol tank system.<br />
Rolls-Royce Power Systems is initially developing<br />
methanol engines on the basis<br />
of the mtu series 4000 and will launch<br />
them on the market from 2026.<br />
CO 2 -free and extremely<br />
flexible: fuel cell systems<br />
But internal combustion engines will not<br />
be the only energy converters on large<br />
ships, as they have been in the past. Fuel<br />
cells will also be used. This is because hydrogen-powered<br />
fuel cells produce no<br />
harmful emissions whatsoever, neither<br />
CO 2<br />
nor nitrogen oxides or particulates.<br />
Fuel cells powered by green methanol<br />
emit only small amounts of CO 2<br />
due to<br />
the methanol reformer required, but no<br />
more than was previously bound in the<br />

e-methanol and are thus operated in a<br />
CO 2<br />
-neutral manner. Introducing hydrogen<br />
as a fuel for ships poses a number<br />
of challenges due to the physical properties<br />
of hydrogen, for example with regard<br />
to infrastructure, refueling and on-board<br />
bunkering.<br />
Further advantages of fuel cells are<br />
their low noise emissions and vibrations<br />
and their very high efficiency (approx. 50<br />
– 60 %). Fuel cell systems offer new, very<br />
flexible possibilities in the design of the<br />
propulsion or energy system through the<br />
introduction of an electrical energy<br />
transmission and an electrical drive of<br />
the propellers: A variable number of batteries<br />
and fuel cells is possible, flexibly<br />
expandable with combustion engine<br />
driven units. All-electric drives are also<br />
conceivable, in which the energy is<br />
stored exclusively in batteries.<br />
Rolls-Royce Power Systems is already<br />
working on the development of fuel cell<br />
systems for marine applications and will<br />
launch its own mtu fuel cell systems for<br />
main propulsion and on-board power<br />
generation from 2028.<br />
The future: hybrid systems with<br />
different components<br />
»All these individual components for<br />
propulsion, energy supply and storage –<br />
be they fuel cells, batteries or internal<br />
combustion engines powered by sustainable<br />
fuels – will enable us to develop entirely<br />
new propulsion concepts,« says Tobias<br />
Kohl. For example, combustion engines<br />
are increasingly being integrated<br />
into a hybrid system in which batteries<br />
feed electric motors and combustion engines<br />
or fuel cells supply drive energy and<br />
charge the batteries.<br />
Another trend: combining different<br />
energy systems on board a ship. Until<br />
now, the standard has been for the propulsion<br />
system to be separate from the<br />
on-board power system. But with the increasing<br />
use of electrical components on<br />
board, the two systems are merging.<br />
This means that the electricity generated<br />
by fuel cells can be used both for the<br />
hotel load on board and for the electric<br />
motors of main and auxiliary propulsion<br />
systems.<br />
Application decides<br />
on ship architecture<br />
But how will the tugboat or ferry of the future<br />
operate? Purely electric with batteries...or<br />
with fuel cells, or with combustion<br />
engines...or with a combination of<br />
everything? »It depends on the application<br />
of the vessel and the infrastructure<br />
provided,« explains Tobias Kohl.<br />
Certainly, tugs that only operate in port<br />
and thus do not have large range requirements<br />
are more likely to be able to be operated<br />
electrically than fast ferries that are<br />
underway all day on longer routes.<br />
»And it‘s also certain that they won‘t<br />
make it across the ocean with purely battery-electric<br />
drives,« Kohl said. For that,<br />
the energy storage systems would have to<br />
be huge, and there isn‘t that much space<br />
on board. Ferries in coastal areas will rely<br />
on internal combustion engines with sustainable<br />
fuels such as methanol, integrated<br />
into an electric, mechanical or even hybrid<br />
propulsion system, and later on fuel<br />
cell systems. Rolls-Royce is currently developing<br />
a complete solution architecture<br />
that can be adapted according to customer<br />
needs. The basis is mtu hybrid solutions in<br />
a modular system that can be varied according<br />
to customer requirements in<br />
terms of performance and range, for<br />
example with additional batteries. This<br />
modular system is designed in such a way<br />
that future technologies such as methanol<br />
combustion engines or fuel cells can be<br />
subsequently integrated as soon as they<br />
become available.<br />
Automation system mtu NautIQ<br />
brings together technologies<br />
All forms of propulsion have one thing in<br />
common: they are becoming much more<br />
complex than before. This also increases<br />
the importance of automation systems<br />
that can monitor both the propulsion system<br />
and the entire ship as a kind of neural<br />
system. »With mtu NautIQ, we are well<br />
positioned here and can offer our customers<br />
reliable, economical and futureproof<br />
monitoring and control solutions<br />
from the bridge to the propeller,« Tobias<br />
Kohl summarizes.<br />
He is confident that the shipping industry<br />
will be able to meet its major goal<br />
of reducing CO 2<br />
emissions by 50 percent<br />
by 2050 compared to 2018. Denise Kurtulus<br />
also confirms this: »I have received<br />
more inquiries about climate-friendly<br />
solutions in the past 12 months than in all<br />
my previous professional years combined.<br />
Manufacturers and customers are<br />
now looking specifically at ways to reduce<br />
CO 2<br />
emissions. The urgency to act<br />
is recognized. That‘s a good, hope-giving<br />
sign,« she says.<br />

Shipping heads for innovative technology<br />
Innovation is nothing new to the shipping sector. But the scope of the transformation<br />
process that has been initiated to decarbonise nearly all shipping traffic opens up entirely<br />
new dimensions<br />
Green hydrogen, its derivatives converted<br />
to e-fuels and PtX fuels, and<br />
the fuel cell systems operating on these<br />
fuels on board ships are in focus at the international<br />
trade fair for the shipping industry,<br />
<strong>SMM</strong>, where the maritime industrial<br />
and innovation cluster »e4ships«<br />
highlights application concepts, scientific<br />
findings and practical experiences.<br />
Facing the escalating climate and energy<br />
crisis, the global shipping industry<br />
must meet the massive challenge of positioning<br />
itself for the evolving technology<br />
transformation process. The focus<br />
is on developing green technologies<br />
and application concepts for various<br />
energy sources to achieve market maturity<br />
while creating safety regulations for<br />
approval and and operation of ships<br />
using innovative energy conversion systems<br />
and alternative fuels. International<br />
technical standards allowing fast, consistent<br />
certification without requiring individual<br />
prototype approvals are a prerequisite<br />
for broad, industry-wide implementation.<br />
Through its multifaceted project<br />
»e4ships – Fuel cells in maritime applications«,<br />
Germany has made substantial<br />
progress in its efforts to make shipping<br />
sustainable. Leading shipyards and ship -<br />
In the SchIBZ2 project, a fuel cell system is being tested on the vessel »Forester«<br />
owners began cooperating with fuel cell<br />
manufacturers at an early time, developing<br />
fuel cell systems for the specific<br />
needs of ocean-going and inland ships in<br />
the demonstration projects Pa-X-ell2,<br />
ELEKTRA, MultiSchIBZ and RiverCell2.<br />
The resulting technical findings were incorporated<br />
into the safety regulations for<br />
the approval of ships with on-board fuel<br />
cell systems developed recently by the international<br />
shipping organisations IMO<br />
and CESNI.<br />
In april 2022 the IMO Maritime Safety<br />
Committee approved the Interim guidelines<br />
for the safety of ships using fuel cell<br />
power installations, defining requirements<br />
for installation of these systems in<br />
commercial vessels. These guidelines<br />
establish a regulatory framework for<br />
emission-free operation of ships using efficient<br />
energy conversion systems and<br />
carbon-neutral fuels while paving the<br />
way for a successful market ramp-up of<br />
fuel cell systems.<br />

mtu engines released<br />
for sustainable fuels<br />
Rolls-Royce is setting another milestone on<br />
the road to climate-neutral shipping. Following<br />
successful bench and field tests, the<br />
Rolls-Royce business unit Power Systems<br />
will gradually be approving its Series 2000<br />
and Series 4000 mtu marine engines for<br />
EN15940 synthetic diesel fuels from the beginning<br />
of 2023. These fuels include the sustainable<br />
fuels BtL (Biomass to Liquid), HVO<br />
(Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil/renewable diesel)<br />
and PtL (Power to Liquid) such as e-diesel.<br />
They can all replace conventional diesel<br />
fuel without any adjustments in these engines,<br />
says Denise Kurtulus, Vice President<br />
Global Marine.<br />
<br />
TYPE APPROVAL BY RINA<br />
Methanol-powered fuel cell achieves milestone<br />
Freudenberg has achieved a significant<br />
milestone by receiving »Type Approval«<br />
by the classification society RINA for its<br />
methanol-powered fuel cell system. Route<br />
flexibility and ranges of more than<br />
5,000 nm are basic requirements of the<br />
world’s maritime fleet. Purely batteryelectric<br />
solutions are often out of the question<br />
for these deep-sea applications due to<br />
their high weight and space requirements.<br />
Freudenberg e-Power Systems has developed<br />
an innovative approach to using<br />
methanol for marine applications. This<br />
combines highly efficient fuel reforming<br />
technology with a long-life PEM fuel cell<br />
in a modular, scalable system unit. It generates<br />
hydrogen via steam reforming,<br />
which then reacts with oxygen from the<br />
air in the fuel cell to produce the electrical<br />
energy needed for both propulsion<br />
and the ship’s electrical system.<br />
The safety concept of this innovative<br />
system architecture has now received Type<br />
Approval from the classification society<br />
RINA. »This lays the foundations for<br />
fuel cell systems to be used on a megawatt<br />
scale on cruise ships and the international<br />
ocean fleet«, says Manfred Stefener,<br />
Managing Director of Freudenberg<br />
Fuel Cell e-Power Systems.<br />

Motor service experts launch Service Company Network<br />
Carl Baguhn Hamburg (CBH), Carl Baguhn Barranquilla (CBB),<br />
and Twinco, global experts in OEM parts sales, marine engine<br />
maintenance, and repair services, have launched the Service<br />
Company Network (SCN). Specializing in comprehensive maritime<br />
and energy engine solutions, SCN is composed of Members<br />
and Alliance Partners who work together to form a global network<br />
that extends coverage beyond participants’ existing locations.<br />
»Capitalizing on a high degree of technical expertise and<br />
industry experience, SCN provides vessel owners and operators<br />
with access to trusted global partners experienced in keeping the<br />
world’s engines running,« SCN states.<br />
SCN Members and Alliance Partners operate as separate entities<br />
and brands but maintain a collaborative connection to ensure<br />
their customers benefit from regional field service, spare<br />
part inventory, and engineering capabilities available globally.<br />
SCN is comprised of Members, CBH, CBB, and Twinco, the core<br />
network participants, who set the standards used to engage Alliance<br />
Partners. The Alliance Partners are business entities<br />
chosen for their high service standards who enter into cooperation<br />
agreements designed to enhance the customer experience<br />
with broader access to reliable solutions from highly trained engineers.<br />

»The shipping industry could be more<br />
dynamic in its climate protection activities«<br />
Welcome to the <strong>HANSA</strong> <strong>SMM</strong> Podcast – our special podcast edition<br />
on the occasion of the world’s leading shipbuilding trade fair.<br />
Listen here for free (in German): www.hansa-online.de/smm/ or scan the QR code<br />
Boris Herrmann sees the shipping industry<br />
in a »fascinating situation«. There is<br />
»crazy amounts of potential« for climate<br />
protection and important decisions have<br />
to be made regarding new ships and propulsion<br />
systems. Herrmann shows understanding<br />
for the economic constraints<br />
with which shipowners are confronted. At<br />
the same time, the momentum for climate<br />
protection in the industry could be even<br />
stronger, he thinks. »That curious engineer’s<br />
eye and entrepreneurial spirit that we<br />
have in the yacht racing industry, where<br />
we are constantly trying to achieve the<br />
impossible, that’s what I miss a little bit in<br />
some places,« he says. Herrmann also<br />
talks about his connections in the shipping<br />
industry – for example to<br />
Kühne+Nagel and the Scheder-Bieschin<br />
family – his motivation and how he came<br />
to sailing and his commitment as a climate<br />
ambassador. He explains what merchant<br />
shipping could possibly learn from<br />
his industry and why his new racing boat<br />
»Malizia Seaexplorer« was not built in<br />
Germany but in France.<br />

MEET THE CITY<br />
WHERE TO GO AFTER THE TRADE SHOW<br />
Cosy pub in Hamburg-Winterhude<br />

Alte Runde Ecke – a place where you can enjoy nice company with music from the jukebox<br />
Hamburg is big, and so is the city`s gastro<br />
scene. Anyway, since we could all certainly<br />
need a little relaxation after long<br />
trade fair days, but also don‘t want to<br />
hide from the public entirely, my tip is<br />
the »Alte Runde Ecke« (Old Round<br />
Corner) pub in the district of Winterhude.<br />
Well, how to get to it? The Alte Runde<br />
Ecke is definitely what you could call a<br />
real institution in the area close to the<br />
popular Stadtpark and the lake Alster, a<br />
pub the likes of which you rarely see anymore.<br />
It is bursting with charm and cosiness,<br />
with a lot of maritime atmosphere and<br />
even maritime »history« – the sympathetic<br />
Reiner, who runs the pub with his<br />
wonderful wife Ingrid, went to the seven<br />
seas for many years. However, an Austrian<br />
by birth, he has long since made<br />
Hamburg his home.<br />
The two of them run the Alte Runde<br />
Ecke in northern German fashion, are always<br />
friendly and have a smile on their<br />
lips – but can also make their displeasure<br />
clear in case someone doesn‘t know how<br />
to behave appropriately.<br />
During the day, it is a cosy meeting<br />
place for the people in the neighbourhood.<br />
Later on, however, it can get<br />
quite cheerful, with guests from the most<br />
diverse age groups between 18 and 80 –<br />
not seldom until the early morning<br />
hours.<br />
The original jukebox is also very popular<br />
with its traditional music selection. It<br />
has been in service for many years and is<br />
an essential part of the special ambience<br />
of the Alte Runde Ecke.<br />

MEET THE CITY<br />
WHERE TO GO AFTER THE RADE SHOW?<br />
Authentic Hamburg nightlife<br />
The »Katze« is famous especially for its caipirinha<br />
Want to relax after a busy trade<br />
show day and take in some authentic<br />
Hamburg nightlife atmosphere?<br />
Try out the bar »Katze« in<br />
the Schanzenviertel, close to the<br />
fairground. The Katze (Cat) is famous<br />
especially for its caipirinha<br />
long drinks that are mixed and served<br />
at an impressive speed – once you have<br />
managed to make your way to the bar.<br />
The place is always crowded. There also<br />
is a football table in the back, and opponents<br />
for a match aren’t hard to find. If<br />
you can’t find a free seat inside. Don’t<br />
worry, you won’t be the only one – and<br />
it is way cooler to enjoy your drinks<br />
outside on the street in front of the bar,<br />
like most people like to do on mild<br />
summer nights. The whole Schanze<br />
area is packed with bars and restaurants,<br />
so you can spend an entire evening<br />
there enjoying different foods and<br />
drinks.<br />
