New ultrasonic antifouling product from NRG Marine
NRG Marine’s new ultrasonic antifouling product to protect equipment inside and outside the hull has had its production increased.
Soni8 uses ultrasonic antifouling technology to prevent marine organisms colonising solid surfaces that are exposed to raw seawater. With one panel and eight transducers, Soni8 is designed to protect all critical equipment inside and outside the hull.
Darren Rowlands, commercial director of NRG Marine, said: “Anti-fouling is usually associated with keeping the outside of the hull clean, to maintain performance and reduce fuel consumption. In commercial vessels and large yachts, operators also have to focus on maintaining the efficiency of critical onboard equipment, like box coolers, keel coolers and their associated sea chests, pipework and valves.
“If those clog-up with marine fouling, the engine cooling systems will start to fail, water pumps become overloaded and the owner can be faced with some very expensive main and auxiliary engine damage.”
Ad Hoc Marine Designs unveils 41m SWATH Crew Transfer Vessel
Ad Hoc Marine Designs has introduced a new 41m Walk to Work (W2W) SWATH Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV), capable of being at sea for up to two weeks with 24 technicians onboard, accommodated in their own individual cabins.
The vessel designer said that the new SWATH CTV, which can also carry any combination of 4 ISO containers, gives operators a better alternative to ordering larger vessels, especially when servicing offshore wind farms built far offshore.
The new vessel is based on the company’s Typhoon Class SWATH design that meets significant wave height requirements for future rounds of offshore wind farms in the UK, according to Ad Hoc, who explained that the 41m CTV can run in Hs=3.5m sea heights and adopts the same philosophy of MCS SWATH 2 by going quad drive with four CAT 3512C engines rated at 1,678kW each, giving 25 knots.
“The next round of windfarms and the future vessel requirements for higher wave height and being longer at sea is due to windfarms being placed further out to sea,” said John Kecsmar, naval architect at Ad Hoc Marine Designs. “Our Typhoon Class SWATH design is the best one on the market to meet these requirements going forward.”
