Ancillary equipment Aker Solutions on
deck Aker Solutions has been awarded three contracts to supply deck machinery for a total of 34 vessels, worth around NOK100 million (US$15.6 million), built by subsidiary Aker Pusnes AS. The contract awards are from Hyundai Heavy
Industries (HHI), South Korea, and Dalian Shipyard, China, for the supply of Pusnes electric deck machinery and Pusnes hydraulic deck machinery. Te HHI contract calls for frequency controlled electric
deck machinery for 4500TEU container carriers ordered by a major European shipowner. Aker Solutions also recently secured another order from HHI for the supply of deck machinery to six 22,500m3
LPG/NH3 carriers
from the same owner. Te two contracts from Dalian Shipyard consist of
high-pressure Pusnes hydraulic deck machinery for 298,000dwt VLCC’s and 76,000dwt petroleum carriers, ordered by various shipowners. With these two contracts, the number of Dalian-built VLCCs to be fitted with Aker Solutions deck machinery amounts to 26 vessels, while the number of tankers similarly equipped at the same yard will be 23.

Ancillary equipment MacGregor receives bulk order
Cargotec’s business area MacGregor has been contracted to supply around €25 million worth of cargo-handling cranes for 24 bulk carriers under construction at ABG Shipyard in India for Asian and European owners. Te order will see cranes for series of 32,000dwt to
35,000dwt bulk carriers. The scope of supply for each vessel includes four
20
GLB3026-2 cranes with a SWL of 30tonnes. Tese cranes will be fitted with MacGregor’s latest CC3000 control system, which has been designed for smooth, fast and stepless operations, according to the supplier. The cranes will be manufactured in MacGregor’s
partner plants and delivery is planned to start at the end of this year and continue until mid-2013.

Ancillary equipment ABB adds auto-mooring
ABB has augmented its stepless speed and torque control programme for anchor winches, mooring winches and ro-ro gate ramp winches, by adding auto-mooring capabil- ity for use with drives of between 0.55kW to 5600kW. Auto-mooring provides new operating functional-
ity when a vessel needs to be moored to a harbour via ropes. Te new feature is integrated into drive applica- tion soſtware as a ready-made option within adjustable parameters, depending on the set-up. In hand-mooring mode, the winch operator controls
drive speed manually to achieve pre-tension in the ropes connecting a vessel to its mooring point. Now, when the pre-tension is achieved, the winch operator can switch over to auto-mooring, so that the drive itself can take charge of maintaining stable tension in the ropes. Auto-mooring is a speed control application with
torque limitation, where the target of the control is to maintain the tension between the vessel and the mooring point. It can be used in three different ways:
• Time sequence mode, where a programmable re-mooring time can be set between mooring actions.
• Load-cell control mode, depending on real measured load cell information to control the mooring actions.
brake, Te rope tension set-point can be a fixed internal
parameter value or can be sent via external digital input and analogue input signals.
