BV earlier completed a successful “proof-of-concept” pilot with TotalEnergies on a Floating Production Storage and offloading (FPSO) in West Africa. During the pilot, a drone-based inspection of two water ballast tanks was conducted. Using the AGS 3D to process all of the data, the survey generated a detailed 3D digital model with AI-enhanced corrosion analytics.

The AGS 3D solution promotes safety while improving efficiency by automating key tasks such as anomaly detection, corrosion mapping, and 3D modeling. Following the success of the pilot project, TotalEnergies will be looking to extend the solution to other assets.

Drone-based surveys generate vast amounts of data, including images, videos, and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) scans, the processing of which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. By integrating AI technology, AGS 3D automatically detects anomalies in images and videos captured by drones, mapping them onto a 3D digital model created from point cloud data collected by a LiDAR sensor on the drone. This approach streamlines inspections, reduces human exposure to confined spaces, and provides precise defect localization, offering actionable insights for maintenance teams.

Suitable for use across various marine & offshore sectors, including FPSOs, FSOs, in-service ships, and floating offshore wind, the AGS 3D tool enables 360-degree visualization, optimized maintenance planning, data-driven decision-making, as well as providing a collaborative workspace for inspection teams, serving as a valuable complement to classification surveys. Final deliverables, such as LiDAR-based drone inspections, AI-driven corrosion detection, automatic defect localization, and a unified 3D dataset are reviewed by AGS experts to ensure quality.

Matthieu de Tugny, President of Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore, said:

“Precise localization of defects is critical for effective investigation, maintenance planning, and ongoing monitoring. With AGS 3D, we are now able to automatically detect and localize defects, marking a significant step forward in remote inspection technologies and augmented survey. This innovation further supports stakeholders in optimizing asset integrity management and inspection workflows.”

Tatiana Akimova, Project Leader at the Innovation Accelerator, TotalEnergies, said:  

“Integrating new technology, such as the AI-powered Augmented Surveyor 3D (AGS 3D), supports our efficiency challenges. By taking advantage of drone technology and AI, we can improve critical tasks such as anomaly detection and corrosion mapping and significantly reduce human exposure to risks. As well as increasing the safety of our teams, this also optimizes our maintenance planning and decision-making processes. Thanks to the collaborative efforts and innovation spirit of TotalEnergies naval architecture team and Bureau Veritas, the successful test and future deployment of AGS 3D in our offshore fleet is a testament to our commitment to pioneering solutions that ensures asset integrity and guarantee a safer working environment for all.”

ABB has been awarded a large order by Seatrium, a global provider of marine engineering solutions based in Singapore, for the supply of electrical equipment and automation solutions on a new generation of floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels for operator Petrobras. The two vessels – P-84 and P-85 – will be deployed in the Atapu and Sépia fields, approximately 200 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

ABB will design and construct the topside and hullside electrical equipment, electrical substation automation and eHouses for both FPSOs. Petrobras will utilize the ABB Ability™ System 800xA® and IEC 61850 technologies for substation automation, which allow for seamless interoperability between Intelligent Electrical Devices and enhances operational efficiency and system reliability. In a first for Petrobras, the P-84 and P-85 vessels will also feature an all-electric concept, which focuses on efficient power generation and increased energy efficiency, by u sing electrically driven compressors and motors to produce 165 MW power generation capacity.

The project also marks the first offshore application of ABB’s three Is-limiter configuration which, due to the FPSOs’ high-power capacity, is vital to ensuring short circuits are managed effectively. Is-limiters are fast-acting devices that prevent damage to electrical components and reduce mechanical and thermal stress by limiting the short-circuit current before it reaches its peak value.

Constructed by ABB Singapore, the FPSO topside systems will be installed in an ABB eHouse – a prefabricated transportable substation designed to house medium voltage and low voltage switchgear, critical power equipment and automation cabinets. ABB’s Sorocaba factory – located 85 kilometers west of São Paulo in Brazil – will manufacture the UniGear ZS1 switchboard, which is used to distribute electric power safely and reliably in demanding applications.

“The offshore energy industry requires innovative solutions and technologies, at scale and at pace, to support an effective and secure energy market,” said Per Erik Holsten, President of ABB’s Energy Industries division. “With our ability to meet advanced technical requirements and high safety standards, along with our deep commitment to energy efficiency, we look forward to working with Seatrium on this large scale and complex project.”

The Brazilian FPSO market continues to be a growth sector for offshore energy, with potential investment estimated at $21 billion in 2026-20271, set against a global FPSO market projected to reach a value of $46.2 billion by 20332.

Construction of the P-84 and P-85 FPSOs has been ongoing since 2024, with delivery of ABB’s eHouses expected by 2027. Each vessel will have a production capacity of 225,000 barrels of oil per day – at a time when total global supply capacity is forecast to rise to nearly 114 million barrels a day by 2030, according to the IEA3.

Through the combined optimisation of the propeller, power supply and hull, these vessels will be able to achieve high efficiency and enhanced performance. In addition, all four vessels will be equipped with Wärtsilä EcoControl, which will further enhance the vessel power and propulsion system to balance the most efficient fuel consumption. By considering the vessel’s draught and other external conditions, this will be made possible by a smart control system that seeks and combines the optimal propeller pitch and engine loading automatically upon activation. 

“This combination of solutions represents the latest advances in marine technology, offering both performance and environmental benefits. It underscores our commitment to decarbonising shipping operations and significantly increasing efficiencies, while at the same time lowering operating costs,” comments Luuk Hijlkema, Senior Sales Manager for Benelux, Wärtsilä Marine.

The vessels have been designed by Groot Ship Design and are under construction at Chowgule Shipyards in India. Groot Ship Design took the original wishes of Vertom and created the initial design. The project is also supported by Eekels Technology as the specialist for E-power & Drive systems and as the dedicated system integrator. The Wärtsilä and Eekels Technology scope was integrated into the final design, with the combined team working together on the integration and further optimisation of the performance of the vessels.

“Intensive collaboration between Groot Ship Design, Eekels Technology and Wärtsilä results in an optimal propulsion design and system integration,” adds Ulco Hoekstra, Manager Sales & Business development, Eekels Technology.

The Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for delivery to Chowgule Shipyards in 2026, and the vessels are expected to be delivered in 2027 and 2028. Once delivered, the vessels will be deployed on the Europe Caribbean Line (ECL), in partnership with Vertraco Shipping, also part of Vertom Group.

Incat Crowther has been commissioned by Los Angeles operator Catalina Express to design a new low-emission, renewable diesel-powered passenger ferry. 

The new ferry will form part of the Port of Los Angeles’ $US31 million Los Angeles Marine Emission Reduction (LA MER) project, funded by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Catalina Express was awarded a $15,000,000 grant to match its own $15,000,000 contribution to the project.  LA MER aims to test and evaluate emission-reduction technologies as part of the Port of Los Angeles’ goal of becoming a zero-emission port.

The new 48-metre (160 foot) passenger ferry will service the popular one-hour tourist route between Los Angeles’ Long Beach Port and Santa Catalina Island. Capable of transporting up to 516 passengers across three spacious decks at speeds of up to 37 knots, the new vessel will be powered by renewable diesel fuel (R-99) comprised of plant-based stocks. The new vessel will be propelled by four EPA Tier 4-compliant MTU 4000 series engines, each designed to be equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) once certified by the EPA, USCG, and CARB to meet CARB commercial harbour craft regulations.

The new vessel will replace three smaller Tier 2 and Tier 3 ferries with a combined six diesel engines, helping to reduce emissions while maintaining the same passenger capacity within the Catalina Express fleet.

In addition to offering a lower-emission transport option, the new vessel will also provide a world-class customer experience. Passenger comfort has been enhanced via a resiliently mounted superstructure which will reduce vibrations and noise transmitted from the hulls. The new vessel will offer spacious seating and amenities including two kiosks, a large protected luggage hold, space for 16 bicycles, café-style table seating, indoor and outdoor seating options and accessible toilets. The vessel has also been designed with active ride control comprising a pair of Naiad Active T-foil and interceptors to help reduce vessel motions.

The vessel’s main deck will seat 198 passengers, including space for four wheelchairs, in an air-conditioned cabin that boasts five bathrooms and a large kiosk. An internal staircase leads to the mid-deck which offers VIP seating for 142 passengers as well as another kiosk and two bathrooms. The mid-deck also provides aft outdoor seating for a further 39 passengers, two bathrooms and the vessel’s wheelhouse. External staircases from the mid-deck lead to a large, protected roof deck for 137 passengers.

Construction on the new vessel, which will take place at Marine Group Boat Works in San Diego, California, is planned to start in July 2025 with sea trials expected to occur in 2027.

“For over 43 years, Catalina Express has been environmentally conscious and has been able to meet or exceed federal and state regulations to help reduce emissions,” said Greg Bombard, President and CEO of Catalina Express.

“Catalina Express is grateful to CARB for this grant and the partnership with the Port of Los Angeles. Their support has allowed us to move forward on the construction of this new vessel to further the mission of environmental advancement and continuing to provide a valuable and affordable ferry service to Catalina Island for Island residents, visitors and local communities,” said Mr Bombard.

CARB Chair Liane Randolph said, “CARB is proud to support the development of the next generation of advanced marine vessels that will help protect the health of those living and working near ports. California is demonstrating what is possible and is leading the way in bringing cleaner marine vessel technology to the market.”

LA MER is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment – particularly in disadvantaged communities.

Incat Crowther North America Managing Director Grant Pecoraro said, “Incat Crowther is pleased to have been selected to design another groundbreaking and technologically advanced vessel for Catalina Express. We have an extensive track record of designing low and zero-emission ferries for operators around the world and what sets our approach apart is our technology-agnostic process to delivering bespoke designs. We’re looking forward to partnering with the team at Catalina Express to deliver an efficient, safe and world-class renewable diesel passenger vessel that will set the standard for other operators around the world looking to decarbonise.”

Ukrainian Intelligence Disrupts Russian Arms Deals in South Africa

In December 2022, DIU agents monitored the arrival of the Russian cargo ship Lady R at the Simon’s Town naval base.

Ukrainian intelligence reported that the vessel was loading a shipment of weapons.

The information was shared with the United States, prompting a public protest from the U.S. Ambassador to South Africa.

Eyewitnesses said the ship’s loading process lasted several days, mostly at night. Armed guards were stationed around the vessel, suggesting a high level of secrecy.

During its time in Simon’s Town, the ship’s Automatic Identification System (AIS) was turned off, making it untraceable.

In addition, according to the WP, Ukrainian intelligence reportedly prevented weapons from being loaded onto a Russian cargo aircraft that visited South Africa in 2022.

In August, while the Russian Navy’s training ship Smolny was visiting Cape Town, Ukrainian officials considered targeting the vessel but ultimately decided against a force-based scenario.

According to The Washington Post, Ukrainian intelligence operations in third countries, including Africa, have occasionally caused friction in relations between Kyiv and Washington.

Ukrainian military intelligence has also been active in Sudan. There, DIU carried out a multi-stage campaign targeting Russian mercenaries.

The first phase involved reconnaissance: tracking enemy movements, mapping road and logistics routes, and estimating the number of Wagner fighters.

The second phase focused on sabotage operations targeting Russian and allied local vehicles.

In July 2024, Tuareg rebels in Mali launched an armed attack on Russian Wagner Group mercenaries after receiving prior intelligence and resources.

Le Monde reported that Ukrainian special services were directly involved in training the rebels, including in the use of drones.

Sources told the publication that Ukraine also supplied strategic intelligence on the location and movements of Russian forces.

This support may have played a decisive role in the operation, which reportedly resulted in the deaths of at least 84 Wagner personnel.

Ocean-based climate solutions just got a major boost. Selected by the nonprofit Ocean Visions, Fugro will lead the development of a standardised Environmental Impact Assessment Framework for marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR), a set of emerging technologies that enhance the ocean’s natural ability to store carbon. 

This initiative aims to support the permitting of mCDR projects by providing a transparent, evidence-based approach to environmental review.

Carbon removal is increasingly seen as a critical complement to emissions reductions in meeting global climate goals. By drawing carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, mCDR can help offset residual emissions and contribute to climate stability. mCDR strategies include approaches such as enhancing ocean alkalinity, cultivating seaweed and extracting carbon dioxide directly from seawater. While these methods show promise in helping to meet global climate goals, they must be carefully evaluated to ensure they are safe for marine ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.

“Marine carbon dioxide removal has the potential to become a powerful tool in the fight to stop climate change—but first it must be able to pass the dual tests of safety and effectiveness,” said Brad Ack, CEO of Ocean Visions. “Fugro brings deep expertise in environmental impact assessments, framework development and offshore environmental monitoring, making them an ideal partner to lead this foundational work toward scalable ocean-based solutions.”

“We’ve spent decades helping industries assess and manage environmental risks in offshore environments,” said Céline Gerson, Fugro’s Group Director for the Americas and President of Fugro USA. “Now we’re applying that expertise to help ensure mCDR is done responsibly and earns public trust.”

The two-year project will involve designing, refining and testing a framework that can be applied across a range of mCDR strategies. Joining Fugro on the project are US-based Integral Consulting and the UK’s National Oceanography Centre. The final framework will be openly accessible and is expected to serve as a critical tool for researchers, regulators and communities evaluating whether and how to host mCDR projects. Ocean Visions plans to publish the completed framework in 2027.

Berg Propulsion package prepares Skarv Shipping Solutions for zero-emission future

Bergen-based Skarv, a joint venture formed by Peak CSL Group and Grieg Edge to develop sustainable short-sea shipping, specified inline ammonia-ready engines for the initial four 7,000 dwt ships, with the first ship due delivery in Q4 2025, followed by three more through 2026. The fifth vessel – due delivery in the second half of 2027 – will feature DF ammonia/MGO capability.

In all cases, vessel performance will count on integrated control and propulsion technology from Berg which is future-proofed to work with a full range of alternative marine fuels and other green energy sources.

Berg collaborated closely with Skarv and ship designer LMG Marin to devise a tailor-made, adaptable propulsion solution for the 108m length vessels. The system’s efficiency has already proved itself as ahead of fuel economy and emissions expectations in extensive model tests at Norway’s independent research organisation SINTEF.

“We have worked closely with LMG Marin, Berg and Shandong Huangdai Shipbuilding to secure efficiencies in every detail of these ships,” said Jan Øivind Svardal, CEO, Skarv. “As well as serving shipping’s decarbonisation agenda, we are confident that these high performance and adaptable carriers will attract charters from project cargo customers who expect the most cost efficient decarbonisation.”

Each ship will feature a single screw controllable pitch installation from Berg with a large propeller diameter and high system torque capability, optimised to match hull/power/speed – and in this case ice class – as well as thrusters. Berg’s control, power distribution and energy management system integrates main engine, battery and shore power sources to optimize vessel efficiency in all scenarios.

“The zero carbon carrier will be far more climate-friendly than what we see in Europe’s short-sea market today, with a very low fuel consumption,” said Svardal. “It is not what we imagine is the final climate solution for shipping, but it is a giant step in the right direction.”

Including electric motors with permanent magnet technology and run by Berg’s MPC800 Control System, the package provides continuous dynamic optimization of propeller rpm/pitch/vessel speed, in a setup also future-proof to integrate bigger batteries and fuel cells. It integrates dual DC-Hubs from The Switch, which control propulsion motors, batteries and the inverter for the main switchboard and deliver the variable speed capability to optimize genset energy use.

“The results from SINTEF verified how Berg technology future-proofs ships for efficiency independent of the power and fuel sources by reducing energy consumption dynamically and adaptively on an integrated basis,” said Mattias Hansson, Senior Global Sales Manager, Berg Propulsion. “We are therefore delighted that the owner has returned to place a fifth order in this innovative ship series.”
 

Two Damen Combi Freighters 3850 launched for Fast Lines Belgium

On Friday 30th May, the second of three Damen Combi Freighters (CF) 3850 was launched in China for Fast Lines Belgium. This follows the launch of the first vessel on 19th May. The two companies signed a contract for two vessels in October 2023. Last year, Fast took the option of a third vessel.  

The family owned total logistics company is headquartered in Belgium, with locations in the UK, Republic of Ireland and Poland. Fast approached Damen to construct its new vessels based on a number of reasons.

Like Damen, Fast Lines Belgium is focused on sustainability, applying a broad interpretation of the word, encompassing safety and crew welfare. Damen has designed the CF 3850 to be optimally fuel efficient with comfortable accommodation. What’s more, the design can be easily adapted to meet client specific requirements. 

For Fast, this includes the installation of a harbour generator and a larger than standard shore power connection. As is typical for the short sea sector, Fast’s vessels spend significant amounts of time in port. With this, the CF 3850 vessels will be able to connect to electrical power in ports once infrastructure becomes more widely available, reducing noise and emissions in port. 

The company has also opted to increase crane capacity to reduce the manual handling required of its crews. Fast has also amended the layout of the ships to ensure that more storage spaces are accessible by crane. 

A further benefit for Fast was Damen Triton. With the IoT solution, thousands of sensors located around the vessel collect data, informing decision making and leading to increased efficiency.

Reflecting on the decision to commission Damen for the project, Fast Lines Belgium Chair Catrien Scheers said, “The Damen vessel stands out in the market. It is both fuel efficient and smart. With the Triton system on board, we will be able to demonstrate fuel efficiency to our clients in real time. On top of that, Damen is a company with a long track record. And, they are building standard ships, which offers considerable added value. As well as speeding up the construction process, building in series is a way to boost efficiency for the industry. Together, we are building vessels for the future.”

The CF 3850 vessels are being constructed at the Damen Yichang Shipyard in China. Damen builds its cargo vessels at locations in both China and Vietnam, thereby ensuring the capacity to meet demand for the popular designs. 

The CF 3850 vessels will be named for Fast family members. The four vessels currently sailing in the company’s fleet are named Fast Sim and Fast Herman, for the company’s founders, and Fast Jef and Fast Sus, for two of their grandchildren. Continuing this tradition, the new vessels will also be named for members of the third generation – Fast Olivia, Fast Anna Sofia and Fast Gilles. 

Fast Lines Belgium Managing Director Yvan Vlaminckx said, “It has been a pleasure to work with Damen on the construction of our first newbuild vessels. As with any project of this scale, there have been challenges along the way. However, this is not a typical ‘buyer-seller’ relationship. This is a cooperation. Our two family companies share a long-term view and similar values with regards to safety, the welfare of people and the environment. With this, we are able to collaborate effectively, overcoming any hurdles we encounter along the way and achieving results that are mutually beneficial.”

Damen Commercial Director Cargo Vessels Remko Bouma said, “Fast Lines Belgium is a forward thinking party, very invested in digitalisation, sustainability and crew welfare. We are aware that they took the time to explore the market before ordering their vessels and we are very proud that they chose Damen – and that they rewarded our efforts with the order for a third vessel. We also appreciate the input they have provided. We have benefitted tremendously from Fast Lines Belgium’s extensive experience, which will undoubtedly support the further evolution of our CF vessels in the future.”
