Polish shipbuilding industry
Mixed fortunes
During the year 2005 Polish shipyards completed 30 ships of 565 973 CGT and deadweight of 770 000 tonnes, at the value of USD 933 million (all for foreign account), thus returned to the main production level of the years before the 2002-2003 crisis.
t the and of 2005 the order book consisted of 87 units of 1 660 744 CGT and the value of USD 3168 million (all for foreign account). The orderbook consisted mainly of container ships (46 pcs. - over 1 mil. CGT), followed by car carriers and ro-ro (con-ro) vessels. There is significant growth of number and value of non-cargo vessels ordered. The intake of new orders during the year was moderate - 22 ships of 246 043 CGT or 300 000 dwt - in consequence of high ordering activity in 2004 and sufficient backlog of shipyards for coming years. In 2006 contracting in major Polish newbuilding yards was also not too fast, mainly due to uncertainty experienced by Polish yards. For the period of 2005, Gdynia Shipyard, Gdansk Shipyard and Szczecin New Shipyard, were concentrating production on their best products: - Gdynia Shipyard - car carriers 6600 PTCT and 2000 PCTC, container ships and LPG-NH3 carriers, - Gdansk Shipyard - container ships 2700 TEU, - Szczecin New Shipyard - container ships 17003100 TEU, con-ros of 20000 CGT and chemical tankers with Duplex steel tanks. Gdansk Shiprepair Yard Remontowa and particularly newbuilding yard Northern Shipyard, member of REMONTOWA Group, are focusing mainly on non-cargo vessels of high added value. The production programme of those two yards consists of various kinds of ferries, anchor handling, towing & supply vessels, multi-function buoy tenders, rapid intervention vessels, ice breaking emergency evacuation vessels, tugs and fishing vessels. 10 ship of this kind were delivered in 2005 and 14 are to be completed in 2006. This is change in production programme and policies at major newbuilding yards, that make it hard to find any interesting prototype newbuildings. It therefore may seem they have not much to offer in new designs. But they are benefiting from easier production of ships repeating in longer series. This improves productivity and reduces costs. The opposite philosophy was adopted by major force in Polish shiprepair industry, having the lions share of the market - the REM-
ONTOWA Group, which increasingly relies on income from new construction. Building smaller vessels, it has to enter niche markets for specialized, more profitable tonnage. Gdansk Shiprepair Yard Remontowa SA regards the year 2005 as a really good one. Notwithstanding the general poor situation in Polish shipbuilding industry and harsh competition environment, Remontowa SA managed to achieve sales level of PLN 860 million, which marks over 200 percent increase over the 2004 result. Also the net profit exceeded the previous years results, at PLN 22 million in 2005. It appears it is possible even despite the domination of prototypes in last years newbuilding production portfolio, while newbuildings contributed as much as 32 percent to the Groups sales and conversions constituted 31 percent of the income, leaving just slightly above one third generated from repairs. The year 2005 saw the construction of 10 ships at Remontowa, and its newbuildings specialised subsidiary Stocznia Pnocna (Northern Shipyard). The number included two AHTS offshore tugs, built to prestigious contract from the worlds leading offshore support vessels operator - US based Tidewater; ferries for Norwegian and Scotch owners, arctic containership and modern fishing vessels. Work on another nine newbuildings commenced during 2005, too. The Group expects to deliver 14 ships during 2006, including interesting prototypes, eg. small emergency evacuation ships for Caspian Seas Kashagan oilfield project. The REMONTOWA Group, having its newbuilding portfolio filled up for 2006 deliveries, was accepting, at the turn of 2005 and 2006, orders with planned deliveries scheduled for 2007. Besides the overall increase in Groups sales, an important factor is an increasing share of newbuildings in total income. This trend is about to deepen further to some extend, although the Group does not give up repair business. Last year almost 200 ships underwent repair works at Remontowa. The sales of the whole Remontowa SA Group, which also includes ship equipment
manufacturing companies, was PLN 1.2 billion in 2005. Positive outlook for Remontowas subsidiary focused on newbuildings - Northern Shipyard - is facilitated by favorable changes in sales structure with partly outfitted hulls on the decrease and fully equipped ships for turn-key delivery on the rise. Also proportion of more sophisticated ships, potentially generating higher sales value, is also increasing on the expense of simpler works with lower added value. After the bankruptcy of Stocznia Szczecinska Porta Holding in 2002 and crisis of Gdynia Shipyard in 2002-2003, a State backed rescue and restructuring programmes for those yards and Gdansk Shipyard - member of Gdynia Group - have been implemented under control and with support of Industry Development Agency. Restructuring programme of Szczecin New Shipyard has been successfully completed. The shipyard regained technical and financial stability as well as bank credibility. The yard is fully owned by State. Restructuring programmes of Gdynia Shipyard and Gdansk Shipyard, although formally concluded, have been recognized as incomplete and implemented with delay. Gdynia Shipyard has to repay restructured debts and has got the problems with retarded deliveries and not balanced income and spendings. Additionally an increasing social tension between this mother-yard andGdansk Shipyard, bought by Gdynia in 1998, led to demerging in summer, 2006. Both yards are State controlled, but are now seeking private investors. The concept of consolidation of all three main shipbuilding yards, forced previously by Industry Development Agency has been recognized as not feasible and abandoned. In mid of 2005 The European Commission has opened the investigation of conformity of public support granted to Polish shipbuilding yards with UE rules. This investigation is still under way and the results are impatiently awaited and expected by the end of this year. Some opinions say this process is frightening off potential investors. Besides financial instability in some of the yards and lack of funds for investment in modern technology, the single most serious problem affecting Polish yards now is the exodus of qualified personnel to better paying West European countries, mainly Germany, Norway and the UK. The situation has forced Polish shipyards to replace at least part of the lost workforce by cheaper welders and fitters from Ukraine and even, incidentally, from North Korea.

Illustration of a 7,500 cbm LNG / ethylene / LPG carrier to be built by Remontowa S.A.
ot much information has been revealed so far on this ship, being a breakthrough for Polish shipbuilding industry, which so far has been building LPG carriers only.
Remontowa S.A. signed a newbuilding contract for a short range LNG carrier to be built for Dutch owner Anthony Veder (Anthony Veder Rederijzaken BV) on July 18, 2006. It will be also the first LNG gas tanker
in Rotterdam based shipping companys fleet, employing mainly small LPG carriers. The unique vessel, scheduled for delivery in 2008, is destined for regional distribution of LNG, with a capacity of 7,500 cbm and will act as an LNG feeder vessel in Northern Europe. In addition to LNG, the vessel will be able to transport other gases as well, including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and other petrochemical gases, including ethylene. The ship to be built at Remontowa S.A. is to be operated under a long term (15 years) time charter from the Norwegian LNG distributor Gasnor AS. The LNG will be transported at temperature of minus 163 degrees centigrade. This ship will be exceptionally environmentallyfriendly as it will use the LNG as fuel, significantly decreasing the emission of exhaust fumes such as the greenhouse gas CO . The propulsion will be effected by two diesel engines reduction geared to screw shafts driving two directional propellers The LNG / ethylene / LPG carrier, probably to be named Coral Methane, will be 117.80 m in length, 18.60 m wide and will feature deadweight of 6150 t.

multi-purpose deck cargo carrier / heavy-lift / ro-ro vessel
Fig. Meriaura OY
Heavy deck cargo in ice
Illustration of multipurpose deck cargo vessel, to be built at Remontowa S.A.
he Finnish chartering and operations company Meriaura Oy will add a new type of multipurpose deck cargo vessels to its fleet. Ordered from a Polish shipyard, Remontowa S.A., the vessels are designed especially for heavy project cargoes on deck, and will be built to comply with the Finnish-Swedish ice class I A requirements. Remontowa will help Meriaura Oy Ltd to achieve its objective to become one of the leading transporters of heavy project cargoes around the Baltic Sea. Modern year-round tonnage for project cargo transports at the Baltic Sea and especially within the icy Finnish coast has never existed. With the development of this concept, the possibilities of transporting different kinds of specialised project cargoes around the Baltic Sea will be considerably increased. The concept development has been made in co-operation with Aker Yards and
with a network of Finnish maritime designers and suppliers. Among others Lnsiviivain Oy - primarily responsible for the machinery drawings, Foreship Oy (hull lines), Wrtsil Diesel, Rolls-Royce Aquamaster and Bureau Veritas have been closely involved. The owners hava managed to obtain R&D support from TEKES (the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation) for the project. The concept was turned into practical, detailed design by Remontowas in-house ship design office. In April 2006 Remontowa S.A. signed the contract with Finnish Owners: OY Gaiamare AB and Meriaura OY, for the construction and delivery of two specialized cargo vessels (including one in option), with delivery of the vessels scheduled for 2007. The first vessel, for which the first steel cutting already took place in August, will be delivered in summer 2007 for Oy Gaiamare Ab, a part of the Meriaura Group. The order holds a possibility of several additional ves-
sels. The investment budget is about EUR 14 million per vessel. The vessel is designed to carry heavy cargoes on deck and its main cargo will be to transport steel ship blocks for Aker Yards. Aker Yards and Meriaura Oy have signed a long-term transportation contract for transportation of the ship blocks. Each of the vessels is however a truly flexible, multipurpose cargo carrier intended for the carriage of ships steel sections and blocks, heavy equipment, project cargo modules, containers or rocks, stones, logs and timber as deck cargo. The concept offers also a version for oil recovery operations. It is being considered that, in the longer term, the new class could also carry oil recovery equipment on behalf of the Finnish Maritime Administration. In the design of the vessel concept special attention is paid to the overall safety and efficiency of the cargo transportation, the seakeeping performance and ice-going

capabilities of the vessel. Transportation of ship blocks with this new type of vessel will considerably reduce the schedule risks due to weather and ice conditions. The capacity and flexibility of the new vessel concept will be much higher than with conventional barge transportations, and at the same time the transportation will be more economical. Added flexibility is associated with the fact, that the ship is capable not just of transporting finished blocks but also of carrying raw materials, such as steel plates and profiles, to yards. The vessel concept includes several innovative and patented solutions. The vessel is a mono-hulled open deck carrier with forecastle, accommodation block and wheelhouse located fore. The dieseldriven main propulsion machinery is locat-
ed in aft, while the electric power generation plant and auxiliary machinery - in the fore part. The operating speed is about 13 knots. Electricity can also be generated by power-take-off arrangement at main engines. The vessel is to be equipped with Integrated alarm, monitoring and control system (IMACS). The propulsion machinery comprises two diesel engines, each coupled to an azimuth propulsion unit with a controllable pitch propeller. Azimuthing thrusters are driven via the Z shaftlines with Cardan shafts and a flexible couplings. The newbuild has a barge-like hullform, except for the bow, which has a conventional icebreaking form. A centre fore skeg struc-
ture accommodates a bow thruster in the area of icebreaker-like recessed stem. The open cargo deck sized app. 80 18 m is flush and left as open as possible. Special attention is put on effective water ballast system and proper ballast capacity for the easy offloading and unloading of special cargo units over the stern ramp and over the sides. The deck of the vessel is strengthened for heavy cargoes. It is designed to carry uniform load of minimum 8 t/m and shall be fitted with container sockets suitable for securing 80 units of TEUs. The seafastening and securing of the ship blocks onto the deck will be carried out with specially designed equipment. A number of specially designed, movable keel

blocks / side elements of steel shall be delivered with the ship. They can be fixed on cargo deck to the container fixing points at various locations along the cargo area and are part of ships outfitting. This is quicker than traditional heavy-lift seaborne transport method of welding blocks to the deck as on barges. The hull blocks carried on the new ship will be fixed into the container sockets wherever possible, reducing the welding required to a minimum. The system is the subject of a patent application. As Aker Yards has a number of quays at locations around the Baltic at which ship blocks are currently loaded onto the barges, the new design will be capable of being ballasted down to the same level as the quays, to be able to continue to use these same loading locations. The ship is designed for all year round operation in the Baltic / North Sea region, with a specific ice-going class notation.

Largest containerships from Szczecin Shipyard so far
CCNI Antofagasta, the seventeen box ship of the B 170 type built at Szczecin New Shipyard was delivered to the owner in August 2006.
ith delivery of APL Venezuela (ex Carolina) the year 2001 saw a launch of a new series of container ships - at 3100 TEU capacity, the largest to be built at Szczecin Shipyard so far. Today, after 16 deliveries, they still hold this record. The B178 container ships, judging from the yards track record and current orderbook, seem to be a very successful design, with many further newbuilding contracts in yards orders portfolio. At present, there are still 7 more B178I units on order left, and 11 units from a slightly smaller version B178-III. At the end of April 2006, another B178-I ship was delivered CCNI Arica. Most of these ships have been ordered by renowned German owner Peter Dohle Schiffsbeteiligungs GmbH&Co. KG, Germany. The B178 type ships are cellular, geared (also available in gearless version) container vessel intended for carriage of: 20 and 40 ft ISO containers in holds and on deck, 45 and 49 ft containers on deck, dangerous cargo containers, reefer containers (selfcontained air cooled type) on deck and in hold.
One of the holds is prepared for IMO dangerous cargoes of 1.4s, 2.2, 2.3, 4.14.3, 5.1,6.1 (except liquids FP<=61C), and 9 classes. Hold No 1 is additionally prepared for IMO class 1.1-1.6 class dangerous cargoes. Holds no 2-5, having have cell guides fitted with stoppers, abt 5,25 m

n post war history of shipbuilding, not taking into consideration so called standard ships, such as Freedom or Neo-Liberty types, there were very few designs built to multiple orders. One of the longest ship series, and one of the most successful, most popular designs is Szczecin Shipyards B170. B170 are so popular, that they have become a standard and a synonym for their range of size, with brokers referring to B170 type while quoting freight rates for any ship of similar size, so B170 have become an industry standard and point of reference. There have been 47 units built of this design over the recent decade in several mutations slightly differing according to specific requirements of each owners in size or being geared or gearless. The first unit in highly successful B170 series was Elisabeth Rickmers, delivered in 1995. The last of them, Robert Rickmers, of B170-III, as 15th unit in this version was delivered in 2003. However Russian owner Fesco and Italian one - Costa Container Lines are so pleased with Szczecin designs, that they have decided to come back for more. Further 5 units are on order from those owners for delivery during 2007 and 2008.

PC/TC Talia caming back from sea trials.
dynia Shipyard JSC is worldwide known for its successful designs of vehicle carriers delivered since 80ties to several seaborne car transport market leaders. Universal car carriers from Gdynia have been awarded with many international accolades. More than once they have been presented in prestigious Significant Ships of the Year booklet published by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects. Among the newest laurels received was the Golden Anchor award handed to representatives of Gdynia Shipyard at Baltexpo 2004 International Maritime Exhibition in Gdask. It was awarded to the best product universal car carrier of the 8168 series. The 14th unit of the 8168 type, Talia, was delivered in July 2006, with 12 units still left in the orderbook at that time. Talia was the first Gdynia Shipyard built vehicle carrier for Ray Car Carriers that has been chartered by Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
Pure Car / Truck Carriers (PC/TCs) of the 8168 series, are ro-ro carriers suitable for the carriage of the wide variety of vehicles, rolling stock and general cargo stowed by terminal vehicles. The cargoes most often comprise of personal cars, pick-ups, vans and trucks and buses or coaches. Other rolling cargoes and special vehicles are also carried onboard PC/TCs, such as civil engineering and earthmoving vehicles, road and terminal trailers or multi-axle heavy-lift platforms. The 8168 series falls into category of the largest PCTCs ever built worldwide. For Gdynia Shipyard a big success may be regarded the fact, that its original ro-ro cargo flow patters between decks has also been accepted by two biggest Japanese operators - NYK and K Line, previously used to their own, different internal ramps arrangement of car carriers. Since 1999 to mid 2005 Stocznia Gdynia SA has built as many as 14 ships of the 8168
type and two units of the 8213 sub-type. The Gdynia built car carriers delivered so far are deployed in long-term charters by global, leading vehicle carriers operators, namely: n HUAL (50/50 joint venture of Norwegian owners Leif Hegh & Co Shipping AS and Ugland International Holdings plc, n EUKOR Car Carriers (consortium established by Norwegian shipping company Wilhelmsen Lines, Swedish owners Wallenius Lines and Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors car manufacturers of South Korea in December 2002, which immediately became the largest operator of the car carriers fleet) n NYK (Japan) n K Line (Japan). Further, remaining units contracted so far from the 8168 series, will enhance the fleets of the above mentioned operators, as well as another market leader Wallenius Wilhelmsen, which so far has been employing the ships built in the Far East only.

ro-ro and related ships
The vehicle carriers built at Gdynia Shipyard are renowned on the global shipping market, not only because of their innovative, superior design features and solutions, but also owing to high quality of yards craftsmanship. Only the weakness of Polish system of promotion of export production (through proper financing solutions) and the limited (significant, but already fully utilized now) production capacity do not allow the yard to accept more orders for these advanced ships. Besides the economy of the scale in series production of the profitable 8213 and 8168 designs, additional advantage provided by this shipyard.s product line is the opportunity to promote best Polish marine equipment manufacturers in the global markets. Polish components in Gdynia Shipyards vehicle carriers include main and auxiliary engines manufactured by H. Cegielski Pozna, anchor windlasses and mooring winches from Towimor, pumps supplied by GZUT, furniture and interior panels from Famos and Meblomor, to name just a few from a wider spectrum. The Gdynia Shipyard built car carriers incorporate many innovative design solutions, such as fuel saving and course stability improving hydrodynamic hull appendages or wake improvement fins fitted behind the propeller beneath the stern. The propulsion system features modern engine room and electric power plant arrangement, fulfilling the latest requirements of the classification society (Det Norske Veritas) and those of most demanding owners. Both main engine and auxiliary engines are manufactured in accordance with newest regulations regarding the emissions control. Integrated automation system facilitates the control and monitoring of all essential propulsion processes from the computers in engine control room and deck office. Top standards have been also applied to design and outfitting of communication and navigation systems. Obviously the ship is also equipped with black box (Voyage Data Recorder) and Automatic Identification System. Cargo access and handling system includes two external doors / ramps quarter type stern ramp (150 t SWL) and side ramp serving alternatively two decks (22 t SWL) and a system of fixed and moveable hydraulically controlled internal ramps, as well as four hoistable decks allowing for flexibility in setting heights of some of fixed decks. The hoistable decks are hoisted up and lowered by means of two self-propelled (truck based) deck lifts.
The accommodation spaces are available for up to 36 persons, including 30 crew members and officers in single cabins with own, separate sanitary blocks and apartments for senior officers. The integrated office spaces are provided, too. Ships from the 8168 series have 13 internal decks. The accommodation block is one level structure placed 33 m over the ships bottom plate. Additional level of superstructure houses the bridge.
The huge dimensions of the 8168 type car carriers from Gdynia Shipyard may exemplified by their deck area, reaching 54 500 m (almost 5.5 hectares) on each ship, and total carrying capacity of 6 600 cars of standard Japanese dimension type RT-43 (equivalent of Nissan - Bluebird).

Innovative con-ro vessel from Szczecin New Shipyard
Aerial photo of Timca performing her maiden voyage from Szczecin to Antwerp.
rom this year through the first quarter of 2009 a series of eight multipurpose con-ro newbuildings will enter trade with Baltic and European ro-ro operator Transfennica of Finland in its Trafexpress service. Contract for the initial four units was signed in October 2003 and extended later to total of 8 units. The per unit price tag seems to be somewhat above USD 50 million according to unofficial sources. The vessels, ordered by Transfennicas main shareholder, Spliethoff of Amsterdam, are a start of the sixth generation of ro-ro vessels in Finnish operators fleet. These new, 6th generation ships, are incorporating features enabling fast and reliable service even in heavy ice conditions. The Transfennica operated vessels of the sixth generation will be more versatile and have a carrying capacity of about the double in containers and trailers in comparison to Baltic shipowners present successful fifth generation of 20+ knot fleet. New vessels of B201 type from Szczecin New Shipyard feature speed of 22 knots. The latest addition to Spliethoffs Befrachtingskantoor B.V. / Transfennica fleet is Timca, the first unit from the B201-II series, delivered by Szczecin New Shipyard on July 11. She departed from Szczecin
based shipyard for maiden voyage to Antwerp on July 12. Then the ship sailed to Finland. The namegiving ceremony of m.s. Timca took place after a few trips, on 23 August 2006 at Katajanokka in Helsinki. The ships godmother, Mrs. Ann Wahlroos-Jaakkola, broke the traditional bottle of champagne and named the ship. On June 10, Kraftca, the second unit from B201-II series, was successfully launched. The vessels are unique combination of a ro-ro vessel with four cargo hold levels for vehicles and rolling cargoes transportation and of a containership with hatchless container cellular hold in fore part and (re)movable cellguides on trailer deck aft of the superstructure. The whole weather deck can be used for alternative transportation of vehicles and / or containers.
The B201 type con-ro is well suited for transportation of: n 20, 30, 40 and 45 ft containers, n trailers and semitrailers, n Mafi trailers and/or cassettes n commercial vehicles and cars, n sto-ro cargo (paper reels, etc.) on closed decks, n dangerous goods of 1-8 classes, n INF 2 cargo. Hold ventilation with reversible explosion-proof fans ensures 25 air changes per hour for ro-ro spaces. These spaces are also fitted with air drying systems and air mixing system. The Transfennica newbuildings from Szczecin will have faster turnaround times in port, thanks to all cargo decks, including a new fourth deck, being immediately accessible once the stern ramp is lowered. Access to cargo spaces is arranged with: n one watertight, winch operated stern ramp, 25 m wide, SWL 340 t, ensuring simultaneous loading of ro-ro cargo to all levels, n three fixed internal ramps leading to tank top, trailer deck and weather deck. The vessel is prepared for ro-ro cargo handling by two-level shore ramp.
General arrangement
Timca is a twin screw motor vessel, with wide transom stern with duck tail, and single centre line skeg underwater configuration aft. The ship features bulbous bow and covered fore mooring deck. Engine room and accommodation for crew of 28 and 12 drivers has been arranged three quarters aft. Cargo spaces, access and other cargo systems

car-pax and pax ferries
M/v Bute was the first ferry delivered by the Remontowa Group to the Scottisch owner. She has been placed on the prestigious list of Significant Small Ships of 2005 of RINA.
Car and passenger ferries Argyle and Bute
erry operator Caledonian MacBrayne Limited celebrated the launch of another new addition to its fleet - m.v. Argyle, the sister ship of m.v. Bute. The introduction of Argyle, alongside Bute, which was delivered by the Remontowa Group in the summer of 2005, concludes an important stage in renewing the fleet on the Upper Clyde for MacBrayne. Argyle is the second vessel for the Wemyss Bay / Rothesay route and will further improve the standards and quality of service that owner provides to customers on this route. Following the completion and fitting out of Argyle, it is expected that trials will be run by the end of November and the vessel to be delivered to the Company in the middle of December. Bute entered service on the Wemyss Bay to Rothesay service on July 11, 2005. Since entering service she has carried approximately 500,000 passengers and 100,000 cars and has been welcomed by the com-
munities that she serves. And what is more, she has been placed on the prestigious list of Significant small ships of 2005, published by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects. CalMac believes that Argyle will be just as successful and concludes a very important stage in the Companys fleet renewal programme for the service and support we provide to the communities on the Upper Clyde. Funding of up to 8.75 million pounds for a new ship for CalMacs Rothesay / Wemyss Bay service - the Companys busiest route - was announced late in 2003, by the Scottish Executive. The ordering of new vessel was conducted in accordance with EU public procurement procedures. Value for money, reliability and delivery were the key factors in awarding the contract to the Remontowa yard. There were 4 bids for the project in the end and the Remontowa option clearly offered the best value for the
investment. The new vessel will be identical to Bute. She will carry 60 cars and 450 passengers on CalMacs busiest route, and will enter service early in 2007. Car and passenger ferry Bute, B 338/1 type and Argyle (B338/2 and 1333/2) have been built at Northern Shipyard on order from Gdask Shiprepair Yard Remontowa S.A. The shipyard has built a ferry-boat which is small, but modern with superstructure made of aluminium and innovative engine room and shafting made of glass fibre. The whole design of the vessel was prepared in Shiprepair Yards Design Office, employing the most up to date technology including three-dimensional modeling techniques for steel and outfit production. Bute and Argyle may each carry up to 60 cars, which compares with the 38 carried by Streakers currently operating on the Clyde. The ship will carry 450 passengers with seating provided internally for 250. She sails at 14 knots and has stabilisers.

Big double-ended ferry
Bast III from the Remontowa Group has also been placed on the list of Significant Ships of 2005 published by RINA.
n February 2005 Bast III ferry left for Norway. The ship had been built at Northern Shipyard, part of the REMONTOWA Group, and delivered to Bast Fosen A/S, its Norwegian owner. It has been the largest ferry built in the shipyards of REMONTOWA Group so far, the largest of all ferries operating in the Norwegian fiords region, and the largest of the three ferries owned by Bast Fosen A/S. With the crew consisting of 15 persons, it carries 550 passengers and 212 cars on the Horten-Moss route in the Oslofjord. The double-ended ferry measures 116.2 m in length, is 19.5 m wide, and features depth of 9.95 m.
Gdask Shiprepair Yard Remontowa SA entered into a contract with a Norwegian owner, Bast Fosen A/S, for building Bast III, the SKS 212 drive through ferry, on July 10, 2003. This event followed competition, in which Remontowa defeated 20 yards, including the Norwegian ones: Fosen, Fiskerstrand and Brattvaag. The draft design was created by the Norwegian Kverndokk & Eldy AS (KEAS). The ship was classified by Det Norske Veritas. On 16 July 2004, the ship was launched sideways at Northern Shipyard without the upper part of its superstructure. Among other parts of the superstructure to be added at
a later stage, also a wheelhouse was installed only after launching the ship. The ship was built and equipped so as to observe requirements set by the following regulations: n NMD Regulations of 15.09.92 no. 695 for building of passenger ship, n International convention for stability of life at sea, SOLAS 974/1987/1981/1983, n International Convention on Load Line, 1966 n International Tonnage Rules, 1969 n International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, Protocol of 1978 and amendment of 1984,

n Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 and amendment of 1983, n Radio Regulations of the International Telecommunication Union 1974 and latest edition of 1982, n Radio equipment according to GMDSSA3 Due to its big size as for a ship of this class, as well as to its relatively long passage, the ship was equipped with conventional propellers. Bast III has two controllable pitch propellers and two rudder blades. The propulsion shafting system is installed virtually across all the ship right to the reduction gears and main drive engines amidships. The high lift blade rudders and steering gear were provided by Rolls-Royce, while the propulsion system (shaftlines, propellers, gears and main engines) by Wrtsil. When working on the design of the ship, noise and vibration analyses were carried out to trace and eliminate the focal areas of this kind of undesirable phenomena. There are two through-decks. The top deck is designed to carry heavy vehicles, whilst the main deck is a place for passenger cars. Providing an excellent field of vision, the superstructure together with the wheelhouse is to be found amidships. The ship has also found her place on the prestigious list of Significant ships of 2005 published by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects.

Second Trinity House vessel launched in Gdask
THV Galatea on painting of Polish artist.
he second new ship for Trinity House was launched on 26 July by Mrs Jane de Halpert, wife of the Executive Chairman, Jeremy de Halpert at Gdansk Shiprepair Yard Remontowa SA. Trinity Houses new Multi-Function Tender (MFT), Galatea, marks the final stage of a GBP 38 million investment on three new vessels by the UK and Irish General Lighthouse Authorities (GLAs). Speaking after the ceremony Jeremy de Halpert, said, These ships are being built to the high technical standards that we all demand in order for us to complete our exacting operations around the coastline of Britain. They will also allow us to continue to give a top class service with excellent ships at a highly competitive price thus ensuring the ship owners continue to get the best value for money. The Galatea is scheduled for delivery early in 2007 and will replace the 1987 built THV Mermaid.
The Northern Lighthouse Board, the General Lighthouse Authority for Scotland and the Isle of Man, has also ordered an 84 -m MFT which is anticipated to be delivered in the autumn of 2006. On Friday 3 February 2006, Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal performed the ceremony of naming and launching of the Northern Lighthouse Boards Multi Function Tender Pharos at the Northern Shipyard, member of the Remontowa S.A. Group, Gdansk, Poland. The contract, signed on March 11, 2004 in London, with the Remontowa S.A. called for the construction and delivery of two 82m Multi-Function Tenders (MFTs), one for Northern Lighthouse Board ( Pharos ) and one for Trinity House (to be named Galatea), as well as one 35m Rapid Intervention Vessel (RIV) for Trinity House (Alert, described elsewhere in this issue of Ships built in Poland). The ships are being built to the high technical standards demanded by the General Lighthouse Authorities for
the exacting operations they conduct around our coast. On completion, later this year, Pharos will make the 1200 mile passage from Gdansk to the Boards base at Oban, on the West Coast of Scotland, where she will be based. The first of the two Remontowa built MFTs is destined for work mainly in Scottish and Manx waters (the area covered by the Board) servicing over 200 automatic lighthouses, buoys, beacons and will act as a working platform for aids to navigation project work as well as carrying out commercial work under contract. On occasion she will travel south to assist the other General Lighthouse Authorities, Trinity House and Commissioners of Irish Lights, in their waters through long-standing co-operation and exchange arrangements. Both vessels are designed and built for service as Multi Function Tenders operated throughout all seasons round the coasts of

Complex conversion at Naval Shipyard Gdynia

EDT Protea during the towout from the floating dock.
aval Shipyard Gdynia is occupied both with naval work and commercial shiprepair, newbuildings and partly outfitted hulls, hull sections and blocks and other steel structures manufacturing. The company is also often involved in complex conversions or in completion of ships commenced in other yards and fully outfits them for turn-key delivery. One of the most complex jobs Naval Shipyard Gdynia has ever accomplished, producing state-of-the-art, very sophisticated and modern ship, was the EDT Protea project, nearing completion with final outfitting touches as we went to press mid-September and the ship expected to enter service shortly. It might even be regarded more as a new construction rather than conversion. The Gdynia based yard was contracted by theCyprus based shipowners, managers and operators that recently changed its name fromEDT Towage and Salvage to EDT Offshore. The Limassol-based company specializes in towage and salvage as well as subsea operations and HDP pipeline installations predominantly in the Mediterranean. The conversion of theformer Geco Sapphire to DP3 ROV / survey and light construction vessel has been under way in Poland for some time, and has taken far
longer than originally anticipated (one of the earlier anticipated completion date was in 2004). However it is understood the reason behind that was intentional lay-up by the owners, lack of financing or lack of employment for the prospective new conversion. However, after a considerable time of idleness onboard the ship at the yard, it seems the owners eventually worked out employment for the ship and works commenced again a couple of months ago. According to information released by shipbroking company Seascope Offshore, EDT Protea is the subject of a two-year charter in the Gulf of Mexico with Phoenix International.

Phoenix, for which Gdynia built ROV support and survey vessel will be working, is a market leader in special and emergency underwater tasks ranging from underwater survey and repair or construction works for offshore industry, through fallen / sunk aircraft recovery, including passenger airplanes and military aircraft after accidents, to submarine rescue support for the navies. Phoenix has also been involved in collecting unprecedented video inside RMS Titanic resting on the seabed and has space shuttle parts recovery support among its references. Such complex tasks require special, advanced and well equipped vessel, which has been recently completed by Naval Shipyard Gdynia. The Cypriot vessel EDT Protea (ex Geco Sapphire) was completely converted into a high specification ROV support, survey dive support and light construction vessel with dynamic positioning system. Geco Sapphire was a Norwegian built seismic research vessel, which sunk after an accident, at the quay in Norwegian yard Mjellem & Karlsen during alongside repairs in October 2001. After salvage and recovery it was bought in auction by EDT Towage and Salvage and brought to Gdynia, Poland, for conversion.

offshore suport vessels and tugs
Another AHTS delivered to renowned US operator
The 120 T bollard pull AHTS ship de Moulin Tide, during sea trials.
n August 14, 2006, christening of a modern offshore support vessel took place at Remontowa S.A. After christening ceremony and sea trials the 120 T bollard pull AHTS ship de Moulin Tide was delivered to Tidewater Marine Inc. - the world leader in offshore support services. In all as many as six similar vessels will be delivered to New Orleans, US based operator until 2008. The construction of first units for Tidewater at REMONTOWA Group commenced in January 2004. So far - 3 units have been delivered, including de Moulin Tide, however the two initial units were of a slightly smaller sized design with smaller bollard pull figures (100 T). The current batch of more powerful AHTS vessels was contracted in the first half of 2005, which proved fruitful for the Offshore Department of Remontowa as Tidewater Marine LLC decided to continue cooperation in newbuildings with Gdansk Shiprepair Yard Remontowa S.A. Tidewater Marine, based in New Orleans, USA, placed an order for a pair of type NED 8167 L anchor handling towing supply vessels (AHTSV) with options for two more ships, later turn into firm order, even with additional units ordered up to 6 units, of which the first one, de Moulin Tide, has meanwhile been delivered as mentioned above.. The new vessels will be based on a project, NED 8167, that has already been
completed for the same owner. These vessels have been improved for this new endeavor through the base of experience gained during the construction of the previously delivered pair, the J Hugh Roff Jr and the Big Joe Tide. Both of those vessels were delivered last year by Remontowa. The main change of the earlier design is reflected in the length of the vessel. The new revision has a length of 70.0 m, but the breadth and depth remain at 15.50 m and 6.60 m, respectively. Just as for the previous vessels, the recently contracted NED 8167 L series is designed to operate in shallow waters. Due to a limited rearrangement of the aft part of the ship, the continuous bollard pull has been increased to 120 tonnes with a simultaneous increase of the vessels capacities, meanwhile keeping other vital features of the ship operating at the highest possible level. The AHTS vessels in question are modern multipurpose vessels designed for anchor handling and rig towing with significant cargo capability for rig and offshore platform supply. As was the case with previous ships for Tidewater, Remontowa is using the same design office, Remontowas own Naval Engineering & Design Ltd. NED. Propulsion is based on American two stroke twin Diesel main engines. Each of the two engines delivers 5000 BHP at 900 rpm through reduction gears to controllable
pitch propellers in Kort nozzles. The machinery is designed to provide a service speed of 13 knots, and a maximum speed to exceed 15 knots. The overall power plant efficiency will be improved through the adoption of 1200 kW shaft generators. New vessels are to be classed as DP-1, but shall be ready for upgrading to DP-2 if so required by a potential client. In order to ensure that the vessel is ready for this upgrade, two 800 HP side thrusters shall be installed along with two 250 kW auxiliary generator sets. A waterfall-type towing winch with 300 tonnes loading capacity is driven by a low pressure hydraulic system, and shall include two de-clutchable towing and anchor-handling drums, each with a holding capacity of 1500 m of 72 mm diameter wire. The towing outfit will also include a single storage reel to accommodate 1000 m of 64 mm diameter wire, two 10 ton capacity tugger winches, a 500T capacity shark jaw, and towing pins. The stern roller will have main dimensions of 4.0m long and 2.5m diameter and should accommodate a 400 tonnes design load. Besides anchor handling and towing functions, the new ships will be suited for rig and platform supply services by means of an open deck capacity for 1000 t of equipment and cargo. The ships are also being outfitted with tanks located under the main deck for drill water, potable water, liquid mud, fuel oil and dry bulks (cement, bentonite, barites etc.) Also, both vessels will have the possibility to be used as auxiliary fire fighters due to their two 1200 cubic meter / hour fire monitors installed on top of the wheelhouse. It is worth recalling the beginnings of Tidewater - Remontowa co-operation. When Tidewater Marine LLC of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA called in June 2002 for bids for three series (80, 100 and 120T bollard pull) of AHTS, Remontowas American & Offshore Commercial Department, which is responsible for further development of offshore sector services, had to decide the best way of attitude. Analysis of technical conditions lead to the conclusion, that Customers expectation is to have rather small vessels in size, but with comparatively large cargo capacities. In addition, the smallest bollard pulls vessel looked as limited water depth operator. Available on the market, typical AHTS projects did not fulfil those conditions, while famous, independent consultants offered only theoretically customised design, since they were providing rather geometrically converted hull forms and/or compilations of previous solutions. Basing on the above, it was decided to prepare own and new concept despite the call for the bids clearly stat-

ed that only proven design would be accepted. Finally, contract for newbuilding acquired, proved such Remontowas attitude suitable and successful. Cost cutter was the nickname given by Tidewater to the vessels, as the guiding principle of projects. It meant not only simple construction and lower construction cost, but also considerably lower recurring, operating costs. As long as demanded vessels dimensions and bollard pull are observed, the only way to satisfy operating costs lowering expectations is to increase the speed, deadweight and cargo capacity, in terms of maintained propulsion power level. In such case the cost of cargo unit transfer is for sure lower, comparing to competing solutions. Bigger cargo capacity and increased number of voyages, within the same period of time and with comparable fuel consumption, should attract potential clients by offering an advantage in form of vessels flexibility with her special hull form design, allowing operation either on shallow or deep water oil fields. Opportunity in offering of lower service rates would further sharp operators competitive edge on extremely tough market at present. Locally sited Naval Engineering and Designs team, chosen by Remontowa as authors of new concept, examined number of different propulsion systems, sophisticated solutions of ships body forms, as well as vessels layout, what resulted in more than thirty well-developed project versions. This would eventually help to fulfill specific needs of other, potential clients, as well as have resulted in compromised and well balanced solution, finally presented to the owners. Limited vessels breadth and draft on one hand, with increased deadweight, bollard pull and speed on the other, seem to contradict strongly and form rather ambitious challenge. Therefore, local Ship Design and Research Centre (CTO) has been employed and extensive programme of tank testing was performed, to prove assumed parameters and to ensure satisfactory seakeeping characteristics as well. Additional cost cutting gain, important for shipbuilders, is homeliness of applied body shape, which spares labour cost of the hulls erection. Moreover, promising results of this type of ship, gave excellent hull form for shallow water platform supply vessel (PSV) or other OSV concept, where cargo capacity and vessels speed may be further, significantly increased, comparing to AHTS results.

Rapid Intervention Vessel Alert built by Remontowa S.A. for Trinity House
Alert during sea trias.
he signing of delivery documents related to Rapid Intervention Vessel Alert took place on Monday, April 10, 2006, followed by British flag hoisting and a small delivery celebration meeting of the representatives of parties involved in the construction of vessel at its bridge. RIV Alert was built at Northern Shipyard, part of REMONTOWA Group for Trinity House, United Kingdom. On the next morning, the ship departed for Harwich. Delivery follows launching of THV Alert, outfitting and extensive programme of sea trials performed during March 2006. On Tuesday, 11 October 2005, Mrs Janet Melson, wife of Peter Melson, Director of Operations and Asset Management at Trinity House, launched the new Trinity House Rapid Intervention Vessel Alert in front of a large gathering at the Remontowa SA shipyard in Gdansk, Poland. The vessel is equipped with 3000 kW main engines and is 52.5 tonnes deadweight. She has twin CCP drives, bow thrusters and a dynamic positioning system. Alert is a coastal working vessel and will, in addi-
tion to maintaining aids to navigation, provide a fast response to incidents and carry out emergency wreck marking and hydrographic survey services. Her primary area of operation will be the busy shipping routes of the Dover Strait, English Channel and Southern North Sea. The Alert marks the first stage of an investment of GBP 38 million on three new vessels by the General Lighthouse Authorities (GLAs) of the United Kingdom and Ireland. The contract, signed on March 11, 2004 in London, with the Remontowa S.A. called for the construction and delivery of two 82m Multi-Function Tenders (MFTs), one for Northern Lighthouse Board (Pharos) and one for Trinity House (to be named Galatea) both to be delivered by the end of 2006 / early 2007, as well as one 35m Rapid Intervention Vessel (RIV) for Trinity House (Alert). The ships are being built to the high technical standards demanded by the General Lighthouse Authorities for the exacting operations they conduct around our coast. The tendering process to select the shipyard to build the vessels followed the re-
quirements of the EU Procurement Directives. Remontowa SA have won the contract in fierce competition with five premier European yards.
Trinity House RIV Technical Description

noeuvrability and control. Vessel in service will be capable of operating at infinitely variable speeds varying from zero up to maximum speed. Vessel is designed to achieve a trial speed of not less than 16,5 knots and is to achieve a minimum bollard pull of 25 tonnes with the main engines developing not more than 100 % MCR. Main engines were designed as not rated at more than 3000 kW total. Auxiliary electric power is generated to give 400V, 50 Hz, 3 phase, 230V 1 phase and 110 V 1 phase. Alert is, however, much more than a fast standby vessel. Besides its day to day duties, the ship is also well prepared for commercial role, being available for hire to conduct survey work. The vessel is equipped with ample and sophisticated equipment for hydrographical survey. Multi-beam echo sounder, single beam echo sounder, side scan sonar, sound velocity sensors supported by most precise positioning system and post processing hardware/software enable wide range of survey activity. Thermal night vision system, motion stabilized, allows to carry out search and res-

Unique icebreaking emergency evacuation vessels from Remontowa
iscovered in July 2000, Kashagan could prove to be the worlds fifth largest oilfield. It is owned by a group of partners led by Agip. Agip KCO, a fully owned Eni company, is the operator of the offshore Kashagan oil field on behalf of a consortium of seven companies.. The members of the Consortium are: Agip Caspian Sea B.V. (Operator 18.52%), KazMunayGas (8.33%), Eni 18.52%; ExxonMobil 18.52%; Shell 18.52%; Total 18.52%; ConocoPhillips; 9.26%; INPEX 8.33%. The entire Caspian Sea is around 30m below sea level and while the mean water depth as a whole is 208 m, this is considerably shallower to the north-east. The field, 75 km SSE of Atyrau, lies in just 3.7m of water. Temperatures can fall below -20C in winter and a coating of ice, several metres thick, forms in this part of the Caspian Sea for many months of the year. Such adverse weather conditions, adding to shallow water, put exceptional demands on the design of a floating unit to provide effective emergency evacuation. The very special craft is being built at Remontowa S.A. yard in Gdansk, Poland. On July 22, 2005, Gdask Shiprepair Yard Remontowa S.A. and Agip KCO signed a contract for the construction and delivery of four specialised Ice Breaking Emergency Evacuation Vessels (IBEEV), becoming yard numbers B 843/1-4. Moreover, the contract provides Agip KCO with an option to order four additional vessels. The last unit from the first batch of these unique vessels was launched mid-August. All four evacuation vessels should be delivered by November 2006. The vessels would be used to carry out the emergency evacuation of personnel from offshore installations located in the Kashagan Field, which is currently one of the largest offshore developments in the world. IBEEV represents state-of-the-art technology and complies with Det Norske Veritas class notation X 1A1 ICE 1B DAT (-30 C). The vessels measure 45.10 m in length, 8.0 m in beam and 3.60 m in depth. The specific requirements of Agip KCO as well as the onerous environmental operating conditions have challenged the Yard to develop tailor made solutions for this project. The craft was designed by Naval Engineering & Design Ltd, Poland.
llustration of icebreaking emergency evacuation vessels from Remontowa.
Special focus has been put on the development of the propulsion solution, allowing the vessels to operate safely within a toxic / hydrocarbon environment. Combustion air will be provided by a specialized installation consisting of 16 high pressure cylinders storing air compressed to 350 bar, decompressed via pressure reducing panels and supplied to the engines. The Det Norske Veritas classed IBEEV will have diesel electric propulsion, consisting of two 800kW diesel-electric prime movers running at 1500 rpm and driving twin azimuth thrusters rated at 550 kW at 1500 rpm. The winter ice conditions prevailing in the North East Caspian resulted in the designers developing a hull form with the capability for vessel operation in first year ice (0.6 m thick), which was proved by extensive model tests. The shallow waters of Caspian Sea also required tight design control over the draught of the vessel, which is not to exceed 2.0 m in summer and 2.1 in winter conditions. Environmental factors were also taken into account, resulting in the application of no discharge equipment and fulfilment of requirements of MARPOL as well as other International conventions. The evacuees will enter the vessels through evacuation tunnels linking each vessel to an Island facility. Evacuees will enter the vessel via an air lock, which will be purged using stored air from cylinders, after purging, the evacuees will proceed forward through the vessel, to one of three hermetically sealed evacuee compartments. During evacuation, personal CO
scrubbers and re-breather sets will be provided to each of the evacuees. Solid-state chlorate candles will be used to generate additional oxygen in the evacuee compartments as the oxygen levels are depleted by the evacuees.
