Jumbo Maritime is a shipping company active in the heavy lifting market. Jumbo uses stabilisers to enlarge the stability of the ship during lifting. By using stabilisers Jumbo can perform heavy lifts with a relative small ship, this is one of the major advantages. Downside of using stabilisers is that the installation and de-installation is a...

Natural Gas (NG) can be used as fuel for several forms of transport. NG converted into liquid is called Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). LNG has a favourable energy density for ease of transport and storage. On the other hand, LNG is cryogenic at -162 °C. To use LNG as fuel, it is required to use an LNG fuel system. An LNG fuel system consists...

This thesis describes the process of selecting different greenhouse gas emission reduction technologies for the application on a redesign of a multi-purpose heavy-lift vessel. Only technologies were considered which did not negatively influence the operability or arrangement of the redesign. The best performing combination of technologies was...

This thesis presents a methodology to improve the effectiveness of a ship design process. This methodology consists of performing systems engineering by means of a tailored framework and subsequent guideline. The first is a tool for designers to identify and define operational objectives and functional requirements of (sub)systems, to make...

Damen Shipyards Gorinchem has found deficiencies in the process of developing concept designs of Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs). There is a need to increase the efficiency of this process, meaning that (1) the speed has to be increased, (2) the accuracy of designs has to be increased and (3) the risk of deviations of the project plan has to be...

The global temperature is rising as a consequence of the climate change. In order to stop the further increase of the global temperature, the international community has decided to aim at reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the near future. To achieve this ambition, various alternatives in shipping need to be explored including...

Traditionally, ships are powered by fossil fuels in combustion engines, causing 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Alternative installations have yet to prove their reliability and are currently not as cheap or technological ready. <br/>To enable ship-owners to prepare their ship for the future, but postpone their decision on which...

Global endeavors to reduce emissions in the shipping industry are accelerating the interest in fuel cell systems. This paper explores the application of different fuel cell types (LT-PEMFC, HT-PEMFC and SOFC) in combination with different fuels (LH2, LNG,MeOH and NH3) in expedition cruise ships. An impact model is developed for the first design...

In the last decades a lot of oil platforms have been built. According to Infield (Infield, 2015), there are over 800 oil platforms out in the ocean. These platforms need to be decommissioned at the end of their lifetime. The Pioneering Spirit (PS), is a state-of-the-art multi-purpose twin hull vessel with the capability to decommission and...

Yachts have significantly grown in number and size the past decades. The superyacht business has grown along and the number of superyacht builders has increased. In previous decades, potential customers were queuing for their superyacht to be build. The result was that yacht builders were able to set the price of a yacht. Nowadays there is much...

The inland ports play an important role in the Dutch transport system, but it will undergo changes as a result of the societal changes in demand for services and goods and the changes in hydraulic conditions. The inland port has to adapt to these developments in order to reduce the threats and to increase the opportunities, but this requires...

Schouten, Ewout (author)
In this thesis the differences between the monohull and semi-submersible are investigated. For a general heavy lift crane operation and its operational profile, the difference is performance and total cost are calculated. These are used to determine the turning point, the point where the semi-submersible is more favourable for a heavy lift crane...

The shipping industry needs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants. In order to achieve this reduction, the shipping industry will be faced with stricter regulations that are currently unclear. The lifetime of a ship is about 25 years. As a result, it can be interesting to already take a possible refit to an alternative fuel...

Additive manufacturing, colloquially known as 3D printing, is a production process that offers possibilities compared to conventional production methods. Current methods involve shaping or removing of material to create parts, where additive manufacturing adds material. Several industries have successfully implemented the technology showing...

Load response is the ability of an engine to cope with a sudden change of load, expressed as a percentage of the rated power per second. A low load response threatens the employability of a vessel. Goal of this research is solving the load response challenge, which enables the option of full LNG power for all vessels, without limiting...
