norway’s ocean technologies
- making the future both green and blue

The Oceans will be essential for future global growth and prosperity. To make the most of this Blue Economy potential, we need new green technologies and shrewd innovations. We are well underway: New and exciting technologies– such as battery, hydrogen, automation – are paving the way for a sustainable, more blue and greener future.

There is a growing global recognition that the ocean will be a significant contributor to future prosperity and growth. In fact, the OECD estimates that ocean-based industries could double their contribution to the global economy by 2030. Yet our oceans are under much pressure: from climate change, overfishing and pollution. It follows that making the most of the blue potential requires that we manage to harvest its resources sustainably.

New technologies and closer collaboration across sectors is essential, to bringing about a future that is both green and blue. With our recently-launched Ocean Strategy, we aim to provide the best possible framework and conditions for our ocean industries to exploit this potential.

Currently, ocean-based industries represent about 70 per cent of our export income. It goes without saying that the oceans are very important to our country; with fisheries, the petroleum and the maritime industries being the bulwark of our ocean economy. Over the past few decades, we have seen increasing overlaps between these traditional ocean sectors - with a new wave of technological innovation and knowledge transfers. This development has contributed to the emergence of new ocean-based sectors - such as seabed mining, offshore wind and offshore ocean farming.

For instance, the offshore energy sector provides much of the technology needed for the development of tomorrow’s offshore fish farming. Ocean Farm 1 – the world’s first offshore fish farm – may represent the first step towards a new era in aquaculture. Based on Norwegian aquaculture and offshore technology, Ocean Farm 1 aspires to address central issues related to sustainable growth in the aquaculture industry.

Experience and knowledge from the maritime industry help foster growth through more automation and digitalisation. As seen in Trondheim, where the Kongsberg Group has begun sea trials in the world’s first designated testing site for autonomous ships. The YARA Birkeland will be the world’s first fully electric and autonomous container ship, with zero emissions. Ampere is the world’s first electric-powered car ferry and generates zero emissions and minimum sound. I am certain that more will follow. The examples are abundant, and the prospects are high.

Since 1957 the issuers of this publication – Norway Exports – have done a remarkable job of showing a global audience that some of the best technologies in the world, are made in Norway. The focus in this edition of Norway Exports is innovation and new technologies. It certainly is a most welcome topic, and I hope you will fi nd topics that will inspire you to reach out to a Norwegian technology provider to learn more.

Thank you for your interest and enjoy the read!

Nor-Shipping 2019
– accessing ocean opportunities



Opportunities within maritime are as deep and diverse as the oceans themselves, but the challenges of navigating a sector in transition are considerable. Nor-Shipping 2019 is here to help – connecting stakeholders, highlighting potential, and providing a unique platform for supporting maritime and the developing ocean industries.


Nor-Shipping is the world’s leading maritime event week.

For one week every two years the global industry descends upon Nor- Shipping’s exhibition halls in Lillestrøm and across a series of social and business venues throughout nearby Oslo. Every segment within the maritime value chain is represented and championed – with established players mixing with next generation technology innovators to do business, network, and chart the way forward for this most dynamic of industries.

Nor-Shipping focuses on realising the potential inherent in a gathering of this magnitude. By providing an optimal business environment, both physically and digitally, the event week helps cultivate new ideas, insights and partnerships, ensuring that all participants gain real value from a unique experience.

It’s here to serve, support and enable success in the maritime and ocean industries. This is the very essence of Nor-Shipping.


An industry in flux

Maritime is changing. Driven by digitalisation, new technology and a need to create a truly sustainable sector, businesses are assessing the ocean with a new vision.

Activities such as deep-sea mining, offshore aquaculture, offshore wind, biofuel creation, data capture (below, at and above sea level), drone utilisation, and harvesting new food sources are growing fast, while shipping itself is evolving with electric ships, hydrogen fuels, green technology and the gradual move towards autonomous vessels.

Ideas are everywhere, but to realise their potential businesses have to tap into established ocean expertise – learning from the players who have already ‘been there, done that’ and built enduringly successful companies.

The firms that open their doors to new partners and knowledge transfer will be the ones that prosper. And Nor-Shipping’s objective is to serve and support the industry to this end, bringing people together for mutual, long-lasting benefits.



Something for everyone

Nor-Shipping 2019 will deliver added value for exhibitors and delegates alike.

The halls and programme will be tailored to provide something for everyone, ensuring that traditionally strong Norwegian segments, such as maritime research and development, finance, law, and shipbuilding, are represented, while international manufacturers and service providers have the ideal arena to showcase expertise and win new customers.

Alongside creating business connections, Nor-Shipping also works to build bridges between the generations. For maritime to pave the way forwards to a sustainable future it has to increase its visibility as a valid, and exciting, career path.

2019 will see a new set of initiatives aimed at attracting the best young talent to the industry, while strengthening bonds between the academic and business worlds. To reap the biggest rewards, maritime has to be inclusive, opening up to new generations whilst spanning cultural and gender divides, thus gaining the greatest variety of insights and perspectives. Nor-Shipping has a crucial role to play in this process.


Enduring impact

Although Nor-Shipping is once every two years, the event week has, and will increase, its on-going influence at all times. The brand is strong and has genuine international impact – allowing access to the Norwegian (and Nordic) marketplace and expertise, while providing a powerful business platform for industry actors worldwide.

The team plans to extend its reach even further outside the scheduled week and deliver added value throughout the year. This will see the launch of fresh activity, mirroring the opportunities opening up in our oceans, and, for the first time ever, Nor-Shipping initiatives will also take place outside of Norway.

The journey into the future of maritime has already begun. Nor-Shipping 2019 will help the entire industry chart the most profi table, future-oriented and sustainable pathway forwards.

blue maritime cluster
- global centre of expertise



For many generations the Maritime Cluster in Møre has been a pioneer in technology development and operations at sea. It began with the development of a modern fishing fleet, then came the activities connected to offshore oil and gas. As the cluster now ventures into the era of digital connectivity, a new chapter is added to our history.


A World-Class Maritime Cluster

Most of Norway’s strength in the field of advanced marine operations is concentrated within an hour’s drive from the picturesque town of Ålesund on the country’s west coast. The region is home to an impressive constellation of over 220 leading maritime companies and training, research and finance institutions that form one of very few complete maritime clusters in the world.

Due to its leading position and its strong global presence, the cluster was awarded the prestigious status as Global Centre of Expertise (GCE) by the Norwegian government. GCE is the top level in the Norwegian cluster program and a national status awarded by the government to the most global and rapidly growing industry clusters.


Global Presence - Global Attraction

The cluster operates globally and its companies and products are known world-wide. While most of the companies of the cluster are home-bread, an increasing number of major international players, such as Rolls-Royce Marine, Inmarsat, VARD Fincantieri or Bourbon, are seeking their place in the cluster.

The cluster’s winning mix is a high pace of innovation, prototype orientation, competition, informal communication, cooperation, and unique know-how within the field of advanced marine operations for the global ocean industry.

Storfjorden Test Site for Autonomous Ships

A consortium led by GCE Blue Maritime, The Norwegian Coastal Administration and the Norwegian Maritime Authority have signed an agreement paving the way for Storfjorden and its associated side fjords to become a test site for the remotely controlled, autonomous ships of the future. Storfjorden is ideally situated in close proximity to no less than 14 shipyards and 20 shipping companies, several of which already use this area to conduct pre-commissioning trials for their newly built vessels.

Per Erik Dalen, CEO of GCE Blue Maritime states that: “The area is important for national and international enterprises that are at the forefront of maritime and marine technology development and need somewhere to perform full-scale pilot testing.”

The amount and variety of sea-going traffic makes it an excellent place to test how new technologies perform under real-life conditions. In addition, a number of sensors have recently been installed to measure winds and sea currents in the test area.

autonomous ships go larger and greener

Norway’s maritime industry has swiftly evolved expanded its focus from small-scale driverless shipsboats , mostly small ferries, to larger autonomous offshore supply vessels and zero-emissions container ship concepts.

Norway has progressed rapidly in autonomous shipping with both the number of test beds for new driverless concepts and the scale of projects. Since the start of the Norwegian Forum for Autonomous Shipping (NFAS) last year, the number of members has grown to 50 companies, organisations and universities participating in up to 10 autonomous shipping projects. The largest of these could be Yara’s battery driven container feeder Yara Birkeland, which could set a huge milestone as the world’s first fully electric and autonomous container ship.

“I would claim that it started with MUNIN,” says Ørnulf Jan Rødseth, SINTEF Ocean senior researcher and NFAS manager. “In 2012, nobody believed in this, but suddenly it exploded.”

Reducing Road Transport

SINTEF Ocean (then Marintek) was technical advisor for the EU project MUNIN, a three-year concept study for unmanned bulk shipping from 2012-2015. The aim of the project was to study an unmanned Handymax bulk carrier concept. Others, such as classification company DNV GL, have simultaneously developed its own autonomous cargo concept called ReVolt.

ReVolt is based on a 60-metre fully electric unmanned shortsea vessel with a cargo capacity of 100 twenty-foot containers. A small-scale model is currently being used by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) to test different technologies related to autonomous shipping under the research programme AUTOSEA, together with Kongsberg Maritime and Maritime Robotics.

As part of another pilot project, Norwegian industrial group Kongsberg, Risavika Harbour in western Norway, shipowner Seatrans, the Norwegian Coastal Administration and DNV GL are developing a battery driven container feeder concept for shuttling goods autonomously without crew from Stavanger to Bergen. The pilot is part of phase two of the DNV GL-led initiative Green Coastal Shipping Programme, which aims to reduce the volume of goods transported by road and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships.

Norwegian fertilizer producer Yara has similar goals with its unmanned vessel. Planned for operation by 2020, the Yara Birkeland could be the world’s first fully electric and autonomous ship. The batterypowered container ship will reduce NOx and CO2 emissions and remove 40,000 containers from the roads by shipping from Yara’s Porsgrunn production plant to the ports of Brevik and Larvik. The company calls Yara Birkeland a “game changer” for global maritime transport that meets the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Disruptive Technology

The environment has been a driving force for autonomous shipping in the wake of the Paris Climate Agreement, increasing sulphur cap regulations for global shipping, and the UN SDGs. Although not regulated by the Paris deal, the Norwegian maritime industry has taken significant steps towards becoming greener. Most recently, the Norwegian Shipowners’ Association announced plans last June to cut emissions in half by 2050, and become carbon emissions free by 2100 to help reach the SDGs.

Another key factor is the commercial aspect, says Bjørn-Johan Vartdal, DNV GL programme director for maritime group technology & research. Drone ships can be built smaller because there is less need for worker space, saving construction and operational costs. Smaller ships also mean more energy efficiency operations and lower fuel consumption and emissions from reduced speed.

“The main cost saving is most likely the savings on crew costs,” says Vartdal.

One emerging trend has been that producers, rather than shipowners, are coming up with their own shipping concepts to reduce their carbon footprint. Yara took the initiative with Yara Birkeland. Rashpal Bhatti, BHP vice president freight, announced last May that the Australian miner has similar plans to use autonomous vessels carrying BHP cargo powered by BHP gas. “It is an example of disruptive technology when you see you can build differently,” says Rødseth. “It’s not the shipowners, but other parties that drive and develop new business models for transport. This hasn’t been done before. It’s not a revolution, but it represents a new way of thinking.”


Yara Birkeland could become the world’s first fully electric and autonomous container ship with zero emissions.

Sizing Up

The next sizeable, unmanned vessel could be Hrönn, a fully automated vessel for offshore operations being built by Fjellstrand for the UK’s Automated Ships Ltd and Kongsberg Maritime for delivery by 2019. The light-duty offshore utility ship will be used for the offshore energy, scientific, hydrograph and offshore fish farming industries. The vessel could be tested in the Trondheim fjord, one of two test beds in Norway for autonomous shipping that now includes the recently added area of Grenland off the coast of eastern Norway.

Both the Yara Birkeland and Hrönn represent a scaling up of the size of autonomous ships. Previously, the Trondheim fjord has been used to test smaller boats, such as Maritime Robotics’ small unmanned-surface vessels and a scale version of a passenger ferry called Milli Ampere developed by NTNU.

As of May, the Trondheim fjord has opened for the two-year study ASTAT (Autonomous Ship Transport at the Trondheim fjord) that will develop concepts for larger bulk and break bulk transport concepts that can replace truck transport. One test with the Norwegian forestry company Allskog will focus on transporting lumber in the region.

ASTAT is the one of the latest new projects by members of NFAS. The other current projects include Yara Birkeland, test area the Trondheim fjord, test area Grenland, NTNU AMOS Centre of Excellence Research Advanced Autonomous Waterborne Applications (AAWA), AUTOSEA sensor fusion and collision avoidance for advanced ships, and ENABLE*3 shore-based bridge concept.

Norway’s NAVTOR is the only Norwegian industrial partner in the EU project ENBABLE*3 and owner of the maritime demonstrator. The project will look to the automotive industry for inspiration and test the software element of a remote bridge concept based on continuous data sharing between vessels and shore.

could hydrogen be the next alternative maritime fuel?

Norway’s maritime industry is stepping up efforts to fi nd ways to use to hydrogen as an alternative green fuel with a number of exciting new pilot projects.

Shipowners have long been looking to alternative fuels, heavy fuel oil and marine diesel to limit local pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, such as liquefi ed Natural Gas (LNG). The greener fuel has been used for LNG carriers since the 1960s, but the first LNG-powered vessel was Norway’s Glutra in 2000.

Since then, the country has become the largest utilizer of LNG as an alternative maritime fuel with 70% of the world’s LNG powered fleet. The benefi ts are lower SOx, CO2 and NOx emissions. But the industry has increasingly cast its net wider into many types of greener alternatives, such as electricity, bio-diesel, methanol, and hydrogen.

“For the first time in 100 years we see that shipowners have to relate to many fuels,” says Narve Mjøs, DNV GL director for Green Coastal Shipping Programme. “There is no silver bullet that applies to all trades.”

Brødrene Aa is working on developing a hydrogen-powered ferry for the county of Florø.

Hydrogen Future

Created in 2015 as public-private initiative, the Green Coastal Shipping Programme is now in its second phase of fast tracking environmentally friendly maritime projects. For the first time, the programme has tested hydrogen as a maritime fuel under the project GKP7H2.

Norwegian shipyards, Brødrene Aa and Mancraft have together developed a light weight 30-meter long high speed passenger ferry concept suitable for transporting up to 100 commuters between the local municipality centres Florø and Maaløy on Norway´s west coast. The goal of the pilot project is to have a hydrogen-powered ferry using locally sourced hydrogen in operation by 2021.

There are many advantages to using hydrogen and fuel cells to power a ship. The only by-product is pure water, it operates silently, and there are zero emissions. If produced using renewable energy, such as wind solar or hydropower, or natural gas with carbon capture and storage, hydrogen would rank among the most environmentally alternative ship fuel, according to the classification company DNV GL.

However, hydrogen is highly combustible and its safety related properties are different from other fuels. Therefore, extensive safety and qualifi cation analyses are required before a hydrogen ship can be approved according to the regulative framework set out by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). The key issue is to demonstrate that hydrogen is as safe as its conventional alternatives.

“Cost is a big issue with hydrogen, but hopefully we will get the same effect with the automotive industry as we get from batteries,” says Mjøs. “With large scale production, we will be able to get the price down. In an environmental context, both growing surplus of renewable energy and planned large scale production from natural gas with carbon capture and storage are expected to make hydrogen more popular.”

There are currently some class rules for fuel cells, but not for on board storage of hydrogen and loading procedures. Together with the Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA) and other key players, DNV GL is working to provide input to the regulations after testing hypothesis for requirements. DNV GL is therefore launching a Maritime Safety Joint Development project.

“Hydrogen is very new,” said Mjøs. “One of the biggest barriers is the need for effective hydrogen specific rules.”

HYBRIDShip

Fiskerstrand Shipyard has launched a project to build the world’s first hydrogenpowered ferry under the Norwegian innovation project HYBRIDShip. The project received research funding from the PILOT-E scheme to have a hybridpowered ferry using battery and hydrogen technology. It is expected to be operating by 2020. The project will also potentially pave the way for bringing forward the authority’s approval process for using hydrogen as fuel in maritime transport.

“It is positive that the NMA now is increasingly getting involved in innovative projects at an early stage,” says Olav Akselsen, NMA director general of Shipping and Navigation. “This means that we are better prepared in cases where the new technology is not covered by current regulations.”

The HYBRIDShip project was formally launched in January 2017. In the first phase of the project, the partners will focus on the technical and regulatory requirements, testing of fuel cells under marine conditions, and develop procedures for filling and operating with hydrogen. The second phase of the project will focus on converting the selected ferry, as well as testing, piloting and operating it.

The hope is that the project will not only develop the pilot vessel, but also build a specification foundation that can be applied towards other types of hydrogenpowered hybrid ships for other industries, such as aquaculture, fishing, offshore industry and short sea shipping. The Norwegian partners in the HYBRIDShip project include the NMA, Multi Maritime, SINTEF Foundation, NEL, Hexagon Raufoss, DNV GL, Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection and the Møre and Romsdal County Authority.

Hydrogen Ferry Routes

As part of another recent breakthrough, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) announced last August plans to contract a hydrogen-powered ferry to connect three coastal towns offshore Stavanger. The development contract is similar to the one that made the world’s first electric passenger and car ferry Ampere offshore Bergen a reality in 2015.

“It’s a particularly important project due to its authority backing and funding,” says Gerd Petra Haugom, a DNV GL principal consultant specializing in hydrogen.

The contract calls for 10-years of zeroemission operation that will reduce CO2 emissions by more than 4,000 tons per year. It is one of 11 zero-emission and low emission maritime contracts that combined could reduce CO2 by 30,000 tons annually, equal to the emissions of about 15,000 cars. The hydrogen ferry will also push the envelope for developing other types of zero emission vessels.

“If we succeed with the hydrogen-powered ferry, this will also have a transfer value for other sectors of the maritime industry which need longer distances than electric power alone can provide, for example fast ferries and other coastal traffic,” says Terje Moe Gustavsen, NPRA managing director.

electric tourism takes to the seas

Norway will debut next year with its first fully electric passenger ferry, part of a wave of green shipping tourism shaping the travel industry.

Nearly 30 years ago, Bellona founder Frederic Hauge made history buying the country’s first electric car, a converted Fiat. The Norwegian environmentalist followed up by importing the first Tesla Roadster in 2009 into Norway and the first Tesla Model S in Europe in 2013.

His purchases were part of an important step towards electrifying Norwegian society. The Norwegian maritime industry is hoping to do the same with sea travel tourism. It pioneered the green shipping wave with the debut of the electric car and passenger ferry Ampere in 2014-- dubbed by some as the “Tesla of the Sea” -- and has launched a wave of new hybrid and fully electric ferry concepts.

“The speed of the electric revolution at sea will be very fast,” says Hauge, aboard the hybrid sightseeing ferry Vision of the Fjord while docked in Oslo last June for the Nor Shipping Conference, “Sailing is believing.”

Future of the Fjord

Hauge made the statement in connection with Norwegian shipyard Brødrene Aa’s announcement to build a fully electric vessel, Future of the Fjord, for the fleet operator, The Fjords. Set for sail in April 2018, it will be a fully electric composite vessel, taking The Fjord’s sister vessel Vision of the Fjord one step further. The 42-metre long carbon fiber ferry will feature the same panoramic views along its winding mountain trail deck as its predecessor, but this time be fully electric and emission free.

“This new craft is a different beast,” says Rolf Sandvik, The Fjords chief executive. “Vision of the Fjords switches from diesel to electric power when entering the UNESCO World Heritage Listed Nærøyfjord. It represents an important step forward on our journey to transform tourism in this delicate natural wonderland. This new ship is, quite simply, our dream come true.“

The Future of the Fjord marks the first of its kind and is a milestone in the Norwegian research initiative Pilot-E launched last year with Innovation Norway, Enova, and the Research Council of Norway. Pilot-E started as a NOK 70 million fund for fast-track environmentally friendly projects within maritime transport. Future of the Fjord was part of the first fi ve selected projects, receiving NOK 17.8 million from the Norwegian organization Enova towards its total NOK 144 million project cost.

“This is a big and important leap forward in the ongoing maritime battery revolution, with The Fjords now taking us one step closer to an emission-free transport sector,” says Petter Hersleth, Enova marketing manager. “We believe that Future of the Fjords will help inspire the travel industry to adopt battery-powered vessels faster, both here in Norway and abroad.”

World’s Largest Hybrid Craft

The trend towards greener ship tourism is already being seen among the larger Norwegian cruise ship operators, such as Color Line. Norwegian shipyard Ulstein is currently building the world’s largest hybrid ferry ship Color Hybrid for delivery in 2019. Designed by Fosen Yard, the 30,000 gross ton hybrid plug-in ferry will be able to shuttle up to 2,000 passengers from Sandefjord, Norway across the Skagerrak strait to Strömstad, Sweden.

The large 160-metre long hybrid craft has already attracted international acclaim and earned Nor Shipping’s Next Generation Award, even before it hits the seas. The jury highlighted the ship’s ability to influence the design of many more types of vessels, along with its waste heat recovery system and further energy saving measures. The ferry will recharge with renewable electricity from landing stations at Sandefjord.

“The impact of shipping emissions on health are seen as tarnishing the image of the whole industry,” says Malcolm Latarche, chairman of the judging panel. “By installing a hybrid propulsion system on this vessel, it will be able to enter ports without any emissions and with much less noise than conventional vessels. This is something all vessel types can seek to emulate, making this vessel an ideal candidate for the Next Generation Award.”

Greener Expeditions

Further north, another hybrid tourist vessel, the MS Roald Amundsen, will debut next year with an expedition to the pristine destination of Antarctica. Norway’s Kleven Yards has started construction of a 140-metre long hybrid ship with reinforced hull for icy passages – touted as the world’s greenest cruise ship -- for expedition ship operator Hurtigruten.

Named after the famous Norwegian polar explorer, the Roald Amundsen will be the first expedition cruise ship powered by hybrid battery technology, thus reducing fuel consumption and enabling for periods of completely emission free sailing. The technology, in combination with efficiency hull design and use of electricity on board, will cut ship emissions by 20%.

A second vessel, named after the country’s other famous explorer, Fridtjof Nansen, will be delivered in 2019. In total, the two new ships will have a reduced CO2 emission of 6,400 metric tons per year compared to traditional ships, equivalent to the yearly emissions created by 5,540 new cars.

Hurtigruten also recently started operating a unique silent whale safari using a hybrid electric oak schooner called Opal in Kaldfjorden near Tromsø. In addition to reducing the ship’s greenhouse gas emissions, the converted two-mast topsail ship from 1952 is able to sail quietly through the spectacular fjord filled with orca and humpback whales.

“We believe Hurtigruten is the perfect match for the fast growing global demand for sustainable adventure travel,” says Daniel Sjeldam, Hurtigruten´s chief executive, at the construction start ceremony for the MS Roald Amundsen in February. “This is the future. It’s exploring, not cruising.”

The 2,000-passenger ferry Color Hybrid will be the world’s largest hybrid craft in 2020.

sustainable oceans: new efforts to clean plastic waste

By 2050 there could be more plastic waste in the oceans than fish. A number of new Norwegian initiatives aim to clean the seas and even convert the waste into energy.

In February 2017, a sick Cuvier beaked whale was found beached on the shores in western Norway. Inside, scientists from the University of Bergen discovered around 30 plastic bags in its belly, sparking public awareness of the growing problem with plastics at sea. The incident could not have been better timed. The Norwegian government was in the midst of a widespread campaign to promote the country’s ocean interests. For the first time, Norway has included plastics in a government statement on the role of the oceans in its foreign and development policy. As part of the initiative, the government has set aside NOK 100 million for a development program to combat marine litter and micro-plastics. “Through this statement, we want to be a champion of the ocean, both for pollution and the sustainable use of it,” says Norway’s Prime Minister Erna Solberg at the Norwegian Shipowners’ Association (NSA) annual Maritime Outlook conference last March (2017).

Sustainable Maritime Opportunities

The prime minister was speaking in connection with the release of a NSA commissioned report called “Sustainable Development Goals: Exploring Maritime Opportunities” written by the classification company DNV GL. The report recommends five ways for the maritime industry to seize the opportunities of the 17 United Nation’ Sustainable Development Goals or, as DNV GL sustainability director Bjørn Haugland calls them, the “17 innovation platforms.” These include acting on the Paris Climate Agreement, building sustainable communities and infrastructure, protecting life in the ocean, creating a sustainable future for the ocean economy, and promoting responsible practices.

One of the biggest threats to life in the ocean is plastic waste. According to the 2016 World Economic Forum publication, “The New Plastics Economy: Rethinking the Future of Plastics” eight million tons of plastics leak into the oceans annually. That has led to more than 150 million tons of plastic at sea, mostly from plastic packaging. Left unchecked, the amount of plastic could reach one ton for every three tons of fish by 2025 and potentially outnumber fish by weight by 2050.

The Norwegian Environmental Association believes part of the answer lies in using the country’s offshore vessels in dry dock for cleaning up the seas. As of February 2017, 158 ships and 25 mobile offshore units belonging to NSA members were in dry dock, an increase of 57 ships and nine units from the previous year. Norwegian shipowner Havila Shipping, for example, has offered up the platform supply vessel Havila Favour to help the Norwegian company Clean Coast in Vanylven chart and clean environmental waste along the coast of Norway.

Converting Plastic to Fuel

Two Norwegian companies have taken the concept further and proposed a concept that can utilize the in-active supply vessels to collect the floating plastic waste in deep sea waters for conversion to energy. The technology company Quantafuel and boom system producer Norlense have teamed up for a solution to collect plastic using offshore boat booms and then transform the waste on board into synthetic diesel for use as ship fuel and re-sale to land-based markets.

Quantafuel has developed a unique catalyzer that turns plastic waste into synthetic diesel, which contains less greenhouse emissions than regular diesel. The company first uses traditional technology to convert several types of carbon resources, such as biomass, plastic and potentially even coal, into synthetic gas. Its catalyst then transforms the gas into synthetic diesel. The company has decided to start its commercial rollout with plastic because it is made of raw oil and very energy intensive, says Kjetil Bohn, Quantafuel managing director, during Enova’s conference in Trondheim last February. This means the plants can be smaller and less expensive. Another reason is the immense amount of plastic that is not recycled. According to Bohn, roughly 92% of the 300 million tons produced annually ends up in the dumps or in nature. “Plastic is a big problem with a big cost,” says Bohn. “So it is an especially nice thing to be able to present a solution for people dealing with plastic that can provide an income.”

Researching Ocean Pollution

Another healthy ocean initiative was recently launched by the environmental organization WWF Norway and Norwegian billionaire Kjell Inge Røkke. As part of the agreement announced last May, Rosselini Four-10, a subsidiary of Røkke’s company The Resource Group, is developing a research and expedition vessel REV that will survey pollution and marine debris at the bottom of the oceans, as well as sea acidifi cation. The initiative aims to create concrete solutions that can turn the negative environment development in the oceans. The organization has already outlined plans for a new concept that collects plastic from the oceans with the goal of burning waste and marine debris collected at sea, including plastic on board. Each kilogram of waste burned in will become 110 kW of thermal power that will go into the ship’s hot water circuits, without emitting CO2. The Norwegian shipyard Vard will build the REV for delivery in 2020. The vessel is designed to sail all types of oceans, but will be particularly important for researching the remote polar areas of the Arctic and Antarctica. The advanced ship will boast a 40-seat auditorium and multiple labs. Up to 60 researchers from many fields will simultaneously be able to work on the marine challenges putting pressure on marine life, such as temperature changes, sea acidifi cation, overfishing, and marine debris. “Given the importance the ocean has for food, health, energy, the environment and climate, the ocean space is astonishingly under-explored,” says Jan Gunnar Winter, Norwegian Polar Institute director. “The world needs a large-scale knowledge acquisition in order to ensure a sustainable development securing both usage and protection.”

WWF Norway president Nina Jensen and Aker billionaire Kjell Inge Røkke have partnered on a new research and expedition vessel REV that will study marine challenges.

drones chart new waters offshore

In the future, drones could whizz around ports delivering cash and medicines to ships and fi t into vessel surveyors’ pockets.

In 1995, Leif Johan Holand produced aerial filming from helicopters for the Norwegian TV, feature fi lm and advertising industry. He started to see that drones were increasingly taking a share of the market, when one of his partners in Griff Aviation asked him: why don’t we make one? So they did.

Today his company is flying and testing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) that can fly loads of more than 200 kg for both military and civilian purposes, everything from flying for British troops in GPS blocked areas to more effective spraying of fungicides on banana plants in the plantations of South America round the clock.

“They saw how the banana flowers closed during hot periods of time,” said Holand. “Drones don’t know if it’s day or night. They said this will revolutionise the banana industry.”

Bigger payloads

Drones are used in many industries today. Agriculture is one of the biggest markets, according to Holand. His company also services the government and energy markets, such as wind turbines, oil and gas installations, and power lines. The Norwegian company recently scored a contract to automatically de-ice the blades on 1,000 windmills in Canada using a tethered drone that cuts downtime.

However, Griff Aviation is garnering international attention because of its drones’ unparalleled payload capacity. In Japan, it will test the transport of 100-kilogram fish crates from small fishing boats over several kilometres to the local islands. Griff is also collaborating with Spain and Dubai on testing drones that can carry over 300 kilograms. One customer in the private security industry has even asked if it can arrange an emergency evacuation out of his home via drone.

“We always have these crazy ideas” said Holand.

Griff Aviation recently expanded into the maritime sector with a strategic research co-operation with the Northern Research Institute (NORUT) in Tromsø. Started this spring, Griff aims to test equipment on UAVs for high-tech landings on platforms. The company plans to build a new aerial production factory at Bardufoss, the site of Norway’s military airport, next year.

Norwegian drone producer Griff Aviation has developed UAVs capable of lifting more than 300 kilograms.

Maritime applications

So far, maritime applications for drones have been mostly restricted to hull inspection and on-site draft surveys. This has more to do with the regulations than the technological limitations, according to Marius Johansen, Wilhelmsen Ships Agency vice president business solutions and marketing. It is more difficult to get the necessary permits to flying drones to boats, which operate in different locations, and especially in high-trafficked port areas near crowded cities.

Still, the Norwegian shipping company believes there is a growing potential with last minute deliveries of small parcels to vessels via drones. The company successfully tested delivery of a onekilogram package during Nor Shipping in Oslo this May together with a Norwegian drone operator and under the authorization of the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority. The simulation demonstrated the delivery of a part for a broken pipe. The whole process took only one minute from mounting the package to drop off for the 500-metre flight.

Johansen foresees that the industry could save up to $575 billion from last mile deliveries of cash, medicines, documents, and spare parts to vessels using drones rather than launch boats. Nearly onethird of Wilhelmsen’s parcel deliveries involve packages weighing less than fi ve kilograms. Drones would not only save costs from not having to hire launch boats, but also avoid the safety concerns when personnel climb up from the launch boat to the vessel just to hand over the package.

“It’s basically inefficiency in the current market chain and the safety related risks are assumed higher using launch boats than using drones,” said Johansen.

From ships to offshore

Another trend in the maritime sector has been the move from land-based surveys of ships at yards to waters farther offshore. This August, Norwegian company DNV GL used camera-equipped drones to survey semisubmersible vessel Safe Scandinavia in the North Sea for Statoil’s drilling operations on the Oseberg East field.

The assignment marked the first offshore drone survey by a classification company. The drones braved wind speeds of approximately 15 knots under the main deck to check the condition of the fairleads and their connections to the columns that hold up the vessel, saving both time and money.

“Normally this kind of operation would cause disruption to our client for several days,” said Ian Young, Prosafe chief operating offi cer. “The drone survey took only a few hours and was just as effective.” DNV GL foresees drones will save operators significant costs related to the erection of staging and rafting (the process of filling a cargo tank with water to give the surveyor access by rubber boat). During its first production survey on chemical tanker MV Apollo in 2016, German shipowner Carl Büttner Ship Management saved 2-3 days – representing 14,000-28,000 – on inspecting 14 tanks.

“Imagine a tank of 30,000 cubic metres,” said Cezary Galinski, DNV GL project manager for maritime classification flying squad, based in Poland. “To fill it up and maintain various inspection levels leads to significant costs for pumping and discharge of water.”

Another plus from using drones is that there is no damage to the tank coating from staging, are more fl exible to use, and improve safety for surveyors. DNV GL is looking at building its own drones, preferably as small as possible. In the next few years, drones might be so small that they could fi t into a surveyor’s pocket, controlled via a cell phone, and taken out whenever areas are difficult to inspect.

“This is not very futuristic,” said Galinski. “We see more and more instances where it would be benefi cial for the surveyor. We have to stop thinking of drones as something complicated. It’s just another tool like a hammer or a flashlight.”

construction of fast ferries made of carbon fibre composites

Brødrene Aa is a world leader in the construction of fast ferries made of carbon fi bre composites. The shipyard is located in Hyen on the west coast of Norway and employs 170 skilled workers. It is known for pioneering the use of composite materials for fast ferry applications, first with fi breglass composites in the 1970s and today with carbon fi bre composites. The yard’s boatbuilding traditions go back to 1947, and it has delivered a large range of vessels both for the domestic and international markets.

The shipyard Brødrene Aa has pioneered the development of fast ferries made of lightweight carbon fi bre composites. In 2001 the shipyard in Hyen built the world’s first carbon fi bre passenger boat. Since then, carbon fi bre vessels have gradually gained acceptance in the market, to the extent that Brødrene Aa has now supplied 56 of these boats to Norwegian and overseas customers. “When we launched the concept of lightweight, fuel-efficiency vessels made of carbon fi bre, there was a certain amount of scepticism in the market. Shipowners weren’t convinced by our promises of lower fuel consumption, and questioned the strength of the material. Today, more than ten years later, there is no longer any doubt about the properties of the material. We have supplied carbon fibre vessels to all of the big shipowning groups in Norway, and the first vessels have been operating smoothly for 15 years,” says Tor Øyvin Aa, Managing Director at Brødrene Aa.

Lower fuel consumption

The advantage of using carbon fiber is that you reduce the structural weight of the vessel by forty percent in comparison with conventional aluminum structures. This enables a positive lightweight cycle, where reduced structural weight leads to reduced power requirements which allow lighter engines and smaller fuel tanks to be installed. In total this gives very fuel efficiency vessels.

“In the Norwegian fast ferry market, fuel costs and greenhouse gas emissions are key considerations. Ferry operators need efficiency and environmentally friendly vessels in order to win public tenders to operate routes. That is one of the main reasons why our carbon fi bre vessels have been so popular in the Norwegian market,” says Aa.

International interest

In recent years, there has also been growing international interest for carbon fibre vessels. Previously the shipyard delivered passenger catamarans to Sweden and Croatia, and recently two vessels have been delivered to China.

“We are experiencing increasing interest from overseas customers. Norway has traditionally been a pioneer in fast ferries, and the fact that our carbon fibre vessels have been accepted here gets noticed in international circles. We notice a general increase in new builds in the ferry industry and we are confident that there is a long-term future in the market,” says the company’s managing director.

Company

specialists in maritime tank venting technique

Since the establishment of John Gjerde AS in 1971, the company has designed, manufactured and marketed high quality tank venting equipment for the shipbuilding industry.

New Lightweight Aluminium Tank Vent Check Valve

John Gjerde AS, a specialist in maritime tank venting technique in Sunnmøre Norway, has added a new and innovative product to its wide range of products for the ventilation of service tanks such as, for example, ballast, stabilization, fuel, lubrication oil, mud, cement and fresh water tanks, which can be found on all floating constructions.

Due to demand in the market for smaller and lighter valves as the space on decks is becoming more and more important for shipowners/oil and gas companies and environmental issues leading to a lower total weight of vessels, which lead to the possibility of the use of smaller engines, John Gjerde AS has developed a new small and lightweight aluminium tank vent check valve.

The present generation of offshore vessels, oil rigs and FPSOs are designed to maximize working decks because most owners are paid by the square metre for working deck available for their clients. Cargo rails are getting smaller, tank shapes are changing and there is an increase in incidents due to capacity difficulties with tank vent check valves in general which leads to severe damages on the constructions.

John Gjerde AS, knowing about all of the difficulties involved, has tested all its products in its own testing and research department in Gjerdsvika, Norway. As always, the company JG does not compromise or jeopardize safety, the good working processes and quality of its products.

Special Testing Facilities

Thanks to the special testing facilities, which have been specially built by John Gjerde in cooperation with NTNU in Trondheim, the company was able to enlarge the air capacity in the tank vent check valves to a new level. Looking at the average capacity of other tank vent check valves in the market, the company has managed to create the new and even smaller HIDE aluminium valve with a capacity which is ten times as big. Tests onboard different types of vessels and oil rigs have shown that problems such as suction blocking, banging and braking floaters, damaged tanks and sleepless nights for the crew are now history with the HIDE valves.

Located in the Heart of the Sunnmøre Maritime Cluster

As many other sub suppliers for the maritime and oil and gas industry, John Gjerde is located in the heart of the maritime cluster in Sunnmøre. The important exchange of information between shipowner, ship designer and ship builder is unique in the world. This cooperation has lead to many high tech and special designs which are famous all around the world. Many of the Norwegian shipowners and shipyards have chosen to have the new aluminium HIDE tank vent check valve as the standard for their high quality vessels.

New Electrical Heating System for Arctic Conditions

With the upcoming interest in a new sailing route north of Russia, the request for ice class vessels is increased. Oil and gas companies as well as ship owners see the economic value of the availability of oil near the North Pole and the new cargo routes.

With the introduction of the new HIDE aluminium valve, John Gjerde has also launched a new electrical heating system for Arctic conditions. The system works dependably and up to temperatures of minus 40-50 degrees Celsius. The heating system can also be added later which is unique in the field of tank vent check valves.
