There has been a dramatic shift in attitudes at maritime organisations regarding digitalisation, particularly over the last two years around crew connectivity, safety, emissions reduction and vessel efficiency. 

“What you are seeing now is a crystallisation of the digital transformation in the maritime industry,” says Lloyd’s Register head of marketing Mark Warner. 

This was pointed out in a report, A Changed World: The state of digital transformation in a post-Covid-19 maritime industry, conducted by Thetius and commissioned by Inmarsat. The report estimates the global maritime digital products and services market in 2021 was worth US$159Bn – 18% ahead of pre-pandemic forecasts. In 2022, Thetius predicts market turnover will be three years ahead of pre-pandemic forecasts. 

Inmarsat’s own data covering commercial shipping during the pandemic period showed that the average daily data consumption per vessel nearly tripled from 3.4 to 9.8 GB between January 2020 and March 2021.  

Technologies that are employed widely in consumer products and other business sectors are now being applied to address container ship fires, parametric rolling, port congestion, decarbonisation and training, points out Safetytech Accelerator managing director Dr Maurizio Pilu. He says that maritime’s digital transformation is being underpinned by increased connectivity and a generational shift that is seeing more digital talent being attracted to the sector. 

 


The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will launch a competitive bid process for the construction of its next five hybrid-electric ferries after negotiations stalled with shipbuilder Vigor.

Vigor, which has built a number of existing vessels for WSDOT’s Washington State Ferries (WSF), is currently finalizing designs for the new ferry class and was also lined up to build the vessels, but the shipyard and WSDOT could not agree on price and other contract terms, Patty Rubstello, Assistant Secretary, WSDOT/Ferries Division, wrote in a recent letter to WSF staff.

In 2019, Vigor was pegged to design and build the five 1,500-passenger, 144-vehicle Hybrid Electric Olympic Class (HEOC) ferries following new Washington legislation that allowed WSDOT to extend an existing contract with the Pacific Northwest shipbuilder. Design work is nearly completed, but the construction phase was never reached.

“Unfortunately, we cannot reach agreement with Vigor on either price or contract terms, including the appropriate assignment of risk. Vigor’s proposed terms of the contract differ significantly from those proposed by WSDOT, as does their cost estimate,” Rubstello wrote on May 24. “We notified Vigor today that we are ceasing negotiations and intend to solicit competitive bids to deliver these vessels.”

“We did not take this step lightly. WSDOT must approach contracts with the best interests of taxpayers, whose dollars support our transportation system, foremost in mind. As we have done on multiple other programs, we are utilizing a design-build contract, an approach that limits risk assumed by the state,” Rubstello wrote.

“Vigor is now nearly complete with the functional design that will be used to build the HEOCs,” Rubstello wrote. “Once completed and accepted, WSDOT will own the design and will utilize it for these new vessels.”

The five vessels will be bid out as a single program to Washington shipbuilders, though other yards outside the state could potentially compete for the project if local bids come in at too high a price. State law requires that WSF ferries be built in Washington, unless all in-state bids are more than 5% higher than the state’s own project estimate. The five-vessel program, which the state estimates is worth just over $1 billion, is expected to attract national attention.

“[Washington Secretary of Transportation Roger Millar] has asked the WSF team to move forward with a request for proposal (RFP) to secure a shipbuilder for the HEOC vessels. I have instructed the team to move as quickly as possible. The solicitation and award of a new contract will result in a delay of the first vessel, but we will work to minimize schedule effects as much as possible.”

WSDOT said it aims to launch the bid process this summer, targeting first ferry delivery in June 2027. Subsequent deliveries would come roughly every 14 months through late 2031.


TORONTOJune 14, 2022 /CNW/ – Baylin Technologies Inc. (TSX: BYL) (the “Company“) is pleased to announce that its Advantech Wireless Technologies (AWT) subsidiary has received a purchase order of over $1.5 Million (CAD) for amplifiers from a major maritime service provider. The amplifiers will be installed on cruise ships to enable Wi-Fi coverage.

Tony Radford, Vice President of Sales, notes that, “Maritime applications can be particularly challenging, requiring products that must be extremely resilient to ensure they perform reliably on platforms that are constantly moving and subject to high ambient temperatures. Power systems on ships can be unstable and produce voltage spikes that are damaging to electronics. Advantech Wireless’s products are equipped with field replaceable power supplies that can be serviced quickly when the ships are resting in port between cruises.”

“Solid State Power Amplifiers from Advantech Wireless have been used in maritime terminals for decades”, explained Leighton Carroll, Baylin’s CEO. “Today, ships generate, collect, and transmit an ever-increasing volume of data. Thanks to Advantech Wireless’ GaN technology, AWT’s products can deliver the required higher volume of power without increasing the amount of space required for SSPAs.”

(SOMERSET, Mass.) — The Alabama Pilot Inc. in Mobile, Ala., has ordered its second Chesapeake-class high-speed pilot boat from Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, Duclos Corp. Delivery of the new 53-footer is set for mid-2023; delivery of its first Chesapeake launch, Dixey, was in 2017.

With a length overall of 53.6 feet, a beam of 17.8 feet, and a draft of 4.6 feet, the all-aluminum pilot boat features the Ray Hunt Design deep-V hull. It will be powered by twin Caterpillar C-18 diesel engines, each delivering 671 hp at 2,100 rpm and a top speed of 25 knots. A Humphree interceptor, with automatic trim optimization, will be installed at the transom.

The engines will turn five-blade nibral propellers via Twin Disc MGX-5136A Quickshift gears. The launch will be equipped with a 9-kW Northern Lights EPA Tier 3-compliant genset. Diesel capacity is 800 gallons, which shipyard officials say will provide a range of at least 380 miles at an economical speed of about 20 knots.

The wheelhouse, flush-mounted to the deck amidships and with forward-leaning front windows, will be outfitted with six Llebroc pilot seats — one at the centerline helm station and the observer’s seat to port and four single pilot seats, aft of the helm station. The forecastle will include a reclining seat and upholstered settee, with storage below. The wheelhouse and forecastle will be cooled by two 16,000-BTU air-conditioning units.

Outside of the wheelhouse are wide side decks, side and rear doors, and boarding platforms on the roof. At the transom are throttle and steering controls and a winch-operated, rotating davit over a recessed platform for rescue operations.

It’s not just self-driving cars in life. There are also ships! A subsidiary of Hyundai has navigated a huge building semi-autonomously, a first in the world.

In a context of labor shortages and the absolute need to do more to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, autonomous ships have every right to be widely deployed in ports around the world.

Avikus, a subsidiary of Hyundai, announced a first: one of its ships sailed semi-autonomously, without danger for the crew or for the other boats crossed on its way. The Prism Courage left Freeport, in the Gulf of Mexico on May 1, for the port of Boryeong, South Korea.

The building used version 2.0 of the HiNAS autonomous navigation system developed by Avikus. A level 2 artificial intelligence that allowed the Prism Courage to complete half of its journey (almost 10,000 kilometers out of a total of approximately 20,000 km) without the help of the crew.

This autonomous navigation took place in the open sea. She was able to avoid other ships, take into account the weather and the swell. For everything else, especially the trickier and more complex maneuvers in ports, the human crew took over. And it will still be needed for a long time before ships reach level 5 of autonomous driving!

Despite everything, Avikus emphasizes the gain in energy efficiency, with fuel consumption down by 7%, and a reduction in emissions by 5%. The HiNAS system calculated more efficient and less energy-intensive routes. Hyundai hopes to commercialize its technology by the end of the year. It could well find takers among many shipowners wishing to save money, while respecting their environmental objectives.
