INLAND SHIPS MADE IN GERMANY<br />
SCHIFFSWERFT BOLLE<br />
E-catamaran »James Hobrecht« delivered to Berl<strong>in</strong><br />
Berl<strong>in</strong> has a new battery-powered special vessel for water<br />
monitor<strong>in</strong>g. It runs ma<strong>in</strong>ly on electricity. The e-catamaran<br />
built at Bolle was christened »James Hobrecht«. The vessel<br />

replaces the 60-year-old diesel-powered service vessel<br />
»Glienicke«.<br />
The »James Hobrecht« will be used on the capital‘s<br />
waters for water sampl<strong>in</strong>g and measur<strong>in</strong>g trips. Accord<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to the state, the vessel can complete an entire day shift<br />
without recharg<strong>in</strong>g the battery. By operat<strong>in</strong>g the latest<br />
vessel and tak<strong>in</strong>g the diesel-powered »Glienicke« out of<br />
service, the state of Berl<strong>in</strong> aims to avoid emissions of<br />
around 11.2 tons of CO 2<br />
equivalents per year. The e-catamaran<br />
is 14 m long, 4.20 m wide, with a draft of 0.85 m<br />
and a total weight of 20 tons. The electric propulsion system<br />
with two 50 kW r<strong>in</strong>g propellers is powered by a<br />
385 kWh battery.<br />
The e-catamaran is charged at two stations – each with<br />
64 kW. The state of Berl<strong>in</strong> specifies an »un<strong>in</strong>terrupted«<br />
trip of eight hours duration at 12 km/h as the operat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
time.<br />
The special ship is named after James Hobrecht. He<br />
founded modern water management and was a city<br />
build<strong>in</strong>g councillor <strong>in</strong> Berl<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> the 19th century. <br />
SET TANGERMÜNDE<br />
Successful launch of the workboat »Rhe<strong>in</strong>au«<br />
In the summer of <strong>2022</strong>, the workboat »Rhe<strong>in</strong>au« was<br />
launched at the SET shipyard <strong>in</strong> Tangermünde. »As the<br />
name already expresses, the vessel is specifically <strong>made</strong> for the<br />
shipp<strong>in</strong>g conditions on the Rh<strong>in</strong>e river«, says shipyard manag<strong>in</strong>g<br />
director Fabian Karbe. »The ship‘s shape, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the bow bulge, which has been flow-optimised by means of<br />
CFD software, ensures low ship resistance <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g wave<br />
pattern and efficient ship operation«, he cont<strong>in</strong>ues.<br />
The three <strong>in</strong>stalled generators from the manufacturer<br />
Caterpillar supply the necessary energy for the 285 kW<br />
electric propulsion motors and the other on board electrics,<br />
both <strong>in</strong>dividually and <strong>in</strong> synchronous operation.<br />
With the help of the <strong>in</strong>stalled HIAB load<strong>in</strong>g crane, the<br />
›Rhe<strong>in</strong>au‹ will be able to carry out m<strong>in</strong>or technical salvage<br />
work <strong>in</strong> the Mannheim port area dur<strong>in</strong>g subsequent<br />
operations. The <strong>in</strong>stalled coupl<strong>in</strong>g w<strong>in</strong>ches and the push<strong>in</strong>g<br />
device will give the 24 m long and 5.75 m wide ship<br />
the necessary push<strong>in</strong>g ship characteristics. The optimised<br />
propeller and shaft system and the propeller nozzles re<strong>in</strong>forces<br />
the thrust required for a convoy speed of at least<br />
13 km/h. A generously proportioned service room, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
a galley and an ergonomic wheelhouse with a<br />
steer<strong>in</strong>g console, will also provide pleasant work<strong>in</strong>g conditions<br />
and space for crew and visitors.<br />
