JIP Pushboat Rudder


Configurations In 2019 we started a Joint Industry Project to investigate how different rudder profiles/ configurations on a pushboat-barge convoy impact fuel consumption and manoeuvrability. The partners are Shipyard Gebr. Kooiman, Veer- haven, De Waal Machinefabriek and MARIN.


Previous research about the rudder configu- rations of inland ships identified significant differences regarding resistance (see MARIN Report Magazine 109). Based on this research, three different rudder types have been selected. The performance of the rudders will be determined by CFD calculations. The results will be used in voyage simulations and fast time manoeuvring simulations of a loaded push- boat-barge convoy. Those simulations will provide insight into differences in powering performance, fuel consumption and manoeu- vring performance. For more information contact Wytze de Boer, w.d.boer@marin.nl


‘ Impact of Sea keeping on Maritime Transport Performance’ Seminar


Between March 25-27 2020, MARIN will organise a seminar about the impact of seakeeping on transport efficiency. A highly relevant subject given the expected inclusion of the design for operational efficiency (energy use) in addition to the current design index (EEDI) on installed power.


This wide-ranging seminar will address: The mechanisms behind and the impact of seakeeping on the efficiency of the transport of general/project cargo, containers, passengers and vehicles The way ship masters experience their ships and operational guidance Seakeeping hydrodynamics (behaviour, added resistance) Criteria for tolerable behaviour (safety, human factors, sea fastening, structural damage) Interaction of the atmosphere and the ocean waves conditions Prospects of design on first principles Prospects for improving ship design, operations and guidance

New HybridEner SeaHub JIP


To support cost-effective renewable energy production far out at sea there is a need for O&M support, efficient and safe energy conversion, as well as the transport and storage of renewable energy. The Joint Industry Project HybridEnerSeaHub aims to facilitate those needs by developing an initial design for a partially floating, maintenance and energy storage island and by investigating its feasibility in the North Sea.


This JIP started on October 1 and will run for 2.5 years. It is conducted in close cooperation with energy companies, operators, yards, engineering companies and marine system suppliers. All participating companies will be represented in the JIP Steering Group and meetings will be held during the BlueWeek in May (www.blueforum.org). For the complete project plan see marin.nl/jips/hybridhub.
