That honour went to the Lynn, part of the push-tow barge combination owned by Naviglobe NV. This wasn't the first time that DMC had inspected the Lynn, and it won't be the last. “We see customers coming back time and again.” The 8,000th inspection is hardly over when Leendert Verloop is already being asked when DMC would be celebrating its 10,000th inspection. The Service Manager of DMC in Hardinxveld-Giessendam instantly started counting. “On average, we do between 320 and 350 inspections a year”, he says. “So we could get there in about six years’ time. That won't be so long at all.” In that case, the Lynn could well be the lucky one again, as this Naviglobe NV push-tow barge has been inspected by DMC’s service engineers since it was built in 2005. “We come back every time”, confirms Eric Suurland, technical superintendent of the Antwerp-based shipper/operator. He sees the fact that the 8,000th DMC inspection was conducted on their ship as special. “It really is a milestone for DMC, and it's nice that they're giving this attention. As a customer, things like service, quality and reliability are priorities, and DMC offers all of those. It's important to have a reliable service partner. In the end, that's what gets you furthest. This is a positive partnership.”Push-tow combination Naviglobe NV is the shipper/operator of two company-owned inland shipping vessels and two maritime vessels (coasters), which are used to ship Clear Petroleum Products (CPP). The Lynn and the Lynn II, which together form the push-tow barge combination, have a total length of 172 metres. There are no longer many such push-tow barge combinations on European rivers. “They're indeed fairly unique”, Suurland says. “Only a few are still sailing, and ours is one of the biggest.” The Lynn dates from 2005 and has now been sailing for 18 years. At the time, the vessel was fitted with rudders and a control system of the former Van der Velden Marine Systems, which merged with DMC in 2018. “But we also have a ship with no DMC systems, and DMC has sometimes conducted inspections of that too”, Suurland explains. “If we really need someone and I can't get hold of an engineer, I call DMC and explain the problem. They then come quickly and help us to carry on again. Of course, I prefer not to call them at night, but I can if I have to. We sail in a delicate shipping area, between Rotterdam to the Moselle in Luxembourg, and there's no room for navigation errors there.” Accessible This story sounds familiar to Leendert Verloop. “Our aim is to be available 24/7, or else to call back as quickly as possible. If a customer is at a standstill and cannot sail any further, we do everything possible to send them an engineer.” Verloop…

Made up of four powerful winches, the system works so perfectly that it can pull any floating object into the dock, whatever the conditions. And this fine piece of work by Damen Marine Components (DMC) has many additional advantages. At 405 metres long and 90 metres wide, Dock 7 at Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam is the largest dock in the Netherlands. The Emerald Princess cruise ship measures 290 by 36 metres, with space for more than 3,000 passengers. So how do you manoeuvre such an enormous ship into such a huge dock? Markus de Jong can still chuckle about the solution, which ultimately lay partly in a computer chip less than one square centimetre in size. This processor controls the four dock winches that can pull in colossal vessels like the Emerald Princess smoothly and in a controlled manner, as they did during their 'baptism of fire' on 11 October 2022. 'It’s unbelievable that you can achieve something so big with something so tiny,' says De Jong, Product Group Manager Controls at DMC in Hardinxveld-Giessendam. In close cooperation with colleagues from DMC's winches product group, a unique system was designed, developed and built.Four winches Four winches, each with 40 tonnes of pulling power, do the hard work with one in each corner of the dock. Two winches pull the ship in, while the other two regulate the speed and the correct position of the ship by providing the exact amount of counterweight required to prevent the ship from veering sideways or floating in too quickly. While these winches slowly ease out their cables, energy is recovered and used again by the pulling winches. What makes this exceptional system intelligent is the fact that all four dock winches are in contact with each other. The software in the winches continually calculates the power and tension of the cables - not just once, but 25 times a second - in order to be able to respond as quickly as possible. If a problem arises, it is shared centrally and the software calculates a solution that is then applied to all four winches. They therefore function as a single unit. 'A high ship like the Emerald Princess can catch a lot of wind and create large forces that must then be controlled by the winches', De Jong explains. 'To avoid peak loads on the winches and anticipate shocks on the cables, the four winches need to communicate with each other extremely fast. That's why a fibre-optic cable network has been laid around the dock.'Easy to use Since then, he has used the system regularly, including to pull even larger container ships into the dock. ‘It’s very easy to use', he says. 'And safer too. If I am operating two of the winches while my colleague on the other side of the dock is operating the other two, each…

DMC is supplying a range of energy efficient equipment to the vessels, which will reduce fuel consumption and resultant emissions. The LPDs are being constructed for the Escotillón IV project at the state-owned Astilleros y Maestranzas de la Armada (ASMAR) shipyard. The 110-metre long vessels will fulfil the dual purpose of increasing Chile’s defence capabilities as well as the nation’s ability to perform humanitarian operations. DMC will supply the two vessels with its Commander™ piston type steering system. This compact and efficient system is built to a standardised, proven design. Additionally, DMC will supply two Atlantic rudders including Silent Bulbs. The Silent Bulb is a fuel saving device designed to reduce the risk of cavitation on the rudder by lowering flow losses from the propeller, thereby expanding the lifecycle of the rudder. Additionally, the Silent Bulb increases propeller thrust, thereby enabling the vessel to sail at the required speed with considerably less power output. DMC’s Sales and Marketing Director, Wim Knoester, says, “We are very pleased to be awarded this contract and I’d like to express my gratitude to Wärtsilä for placing their trust in DMC. These vessels will perform an important role in Chile. The equipment we are supplying to the project will enable them to fulfil their duties with increased efficiency, optimised performance and reduced underwater noise, greatly improving the sustainability of their operations.” Simon Riddle, General Manager / Marine Solutions / Navy at Wärtsilä, adds, “DMC’s energy efficient rudders are combined with the vessels’ high efficiency propeller and fairing caps. With the addition of the Silent Bulb to the rudders, testing has demonstrated that required power values are reduced by 3-4% for the desired sailing speed. This offers a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 1.5%, offering considerably increased efficiency during operations.” Recent news

He knew what Damen Marine Components (DMC) says about its nozzle: better propulsion, less fuel consumption. But did he know that the savings would be so high? 'Sometimes it can be as much as 30%.' Van Terwisga apologises: he is a little hoarse. Has he been out partying? 'No, racing', he replies. This year he became a skipper for the committee that organises annual races of traditional Frisian sailing boats, known as 'skûtsjes', in the village of Eernewoude. 'So then I sometimes have to do a lot of shouting.' The sailing ship that he sails is a Frisian cultural heritage vessel built in 1930. The ship that Van Terwisga sails in his working life has also already reached a respectable age: the cement tanker MV Fenna dates from 1963, so has already been sailing for 60 years. Van Terwisga himself is still a young skipper, of 33.He is also a mindful skipper, who keeps a close watch on the performance of 'his' Fenna and likes to compare all the figures. In the past year he has been able to do that to his heart's content, after a DMC Optima nozzle was installed below the Fenna, in combination with a new tunnel. Would it really mean less fuel consumption? After more than a year of sailing, he can confidently give a definitive answer to that question. 'You bet', he says. 'In some situations, there's a difference of up to 30%. On average, we realise fuel savings of 15% to 20%, which is still a great deal.' Hilda A 60-year-old ship with a brand-new nozzle: how did that happen? 'It started with the Hilda', Van Terwisga explains. MTS Hilda is the other ship owned by the VOF H. Taekema, the company that Van Terwisga owns together with his wife and parents-in-law. The Hilda and the Fenna are tankers for shipping cement, sailing routes between Germany and cement plants in the northern Netherlands. 'We came to the conclusion more than 10 years ago that the Hilda was a bit less profitable than it could be. My father-in-law responded to that by having a nozzle installed below the ship, and we were very happy with that. When we were facing the same problem with the Fenna, and gas oil price were also shooting up, we went looking for a nozzle for this ship too.' Van Terwisga requested quotations from various suppliers, including DMC in Hardinxveld-Giessendam. 'I'd almost say that was a natural choice, because DMC is a very well-known name in inland shipping, with a good reputation', Van Terwisga says. 'We were sent calculations, which we compared. The DMC Optima nozzle came out of that comparison as the best in terms of efficiency, returns and price-quality ratio.' Single-screw vessel The Fenna is a relatively small single-screw vessel, 57 metres long…

There they were fitted into a 35-metre coastal research vessel that was built for the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research (IMR) and which is named the RV Prinsesse Ingrid Alexandra. DMC’s Barke® flap rudders are specifically designed for ships engaged in activities such as research, fishing and dredging that require excellent manoeuvrability, low noise and vibration levels, and first-rate fuel economy. Their progressively rotating flaps generate high lift forces at large rudder angles and low drag at small rudder angles, delivering the necessary performance in all situations. The enclosed linkage system also provides overload protection and prevents any material present in the surrounding water from entering the rudder assembly. DMC’s piston-type steering gear systems are an ideal match for the Barke® flap rudders. They are highly reliable and, with multiple options regarding rudder stock connections, rudder angles and cylinders, the installation process is both efficient and economical when it comes to the space required. The state-of-the-art ship will undertake a wide variety of duties. These will range from data collection and fish stock sampling to the deploying and retrieval of ROVs, buoys, ocean landers, autonomous ocean gliders, AUVs and other equipment.Barke® flap rudders can be found installed on other specialist vessels including the UK’s 90m RRS James Cook research ship and the MN Colibri, a unique RoRo vessel built to transport launcher components for the Ariane 5 and Soyuz heavy-lift space launch vehicles. DMC also supplied the complete steering system for Australia’s recently delivered 160-metre, Research and Supply Vessel (RSV) Nuyina, including full-spade rudders, steering gear and control systems. Last, a Barke® rudder and piston-type steering gear were delivered for the Multi-Purpose Research Vessel of NIWA (National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research) in New Zealand. DMC’s Sales and Marketing Director Wim Knoester commented, “We are confident that the combination of our Barke® flap rudder and piston-type steering system will serve the IMR’s latest research vessel well for many years into the future. It has been, as always, a pleasure to be continuing our cooperation with Holland Shipyards Group that dates back to its formation over 40 years ago.” Jules Custers of Holland Shipyards Group added, “We have every confidence in the quality and performance of the equipment designed, built and delivered by Damen Marine Components. They will contribute to what is a first-class research vessel capable of fulfilling a wide range of roles.” The two organisations already have another project underway, with DMC contracted to build five Optima nozzles Ø2625 for two, newbuild, 3,600 DWT inland waterway cargo vessels and three, new 3,800 DWT MPP coasters.

The winches were specially developed for this 405 metre-long and 90 metre-wide ship dock. A very smart interplay of four winches ensures a ship is pulled in smoothly and in a controlled manner under all circumstances. The four winches provide 40 tons of pulling power per winch. There is a winch at each corner of the dock. Two winches pull a ship in and the two others at the ‘entrance’ of the dock control the speed and position of the ship by providing the exact amount of counterforce required. The winch system is controlled by a central computer. This winch system is powerful enough to pull any floating object into a dock. Floating objects require relatively little force to be towed, but a tall ship such as the Emerald Princess can catch a lot of wind and create large forces that must be controlled by the winches.DMC’s winch system continuously measures the force applied to the ropes and automatically regulates a constant tension. While two winches pull the ship in, the other two ensure this is done in a controlled manner and that the ship cannot move sideways or drift in too quickly. As these winches slowly spin, energy is recovered and then utilised by the towing winches. The winches can place a ship or another maritime object in the dock under their own power or do this in combination with tugboats. The Emerald Princess is 290 metres long and 36 metres wide. The first real operation of the dock winches developed by DMC went beyond expectations. Electrical engineers from DMC Dynamics and the engineering department that develops the physical construction of the winches worked closely together. DMC supplies a wide range of ship systems such as rudders, steering systems, nozzles, plus advanced winches such as anchor and towing winches. For specific projects, winches are developed completely according to the customer’s wishes. DMC Dynamics provides sophisticated software for controlling the electrical systems, for the systems that are developed within Damen Shipyards Group, but also for external customers. With an experienced engineering department in the Netherlands and two production locations in Poland and China, DMC takes care of the complete production process. Recent news

Each vessel will be equipped with two rudders, developed to withstand extreme shocks and to improve the hydrodynamic properties of the fast vessels. The full spade rudders of the Atlantic type by Damen Marine Components (DMC) are purpose designed for the frigate project to fit the specific hull form and operational profile of these naval vessels. The rudders have a relatively slim profile to reduce drag and improve course keeping at high speeds, maintaining good manoeuvrability at low speeds in harbours or during special operations. The unique Asymmetric Rudder Technology (ART) as developed by DMC will be applied. This means that the leading edge of the rudders will be asymmetric, directing the turbulent water flow from the propellers in front of the rudders along the rudder surface more smoothly. This reduces cavitation, increases rudder efficiency, and reduces drag of the vessel. Further improvement of efficiency is acquired by the Silent Bulb that is incorporated in the rudders, right in the wake of the propeller axis. This is an energy saving addition to the rudder profile, positioned on the centre line of the propeller. The Silent Bulb improves the water flow that comes from the propeller and increases thrust at higher loads. The design of the bulb is significantly influenced by the distance to the propeller, and it is shaped to fit perfectly with the propeller hub. All of these specific features of advanced rudder design by DMC show best performance on high-speed oceangoing vessels. Based on the principles of improved water flow, drag reduction and fuel saving, DMC designed the rudders with all of these specific qualities specific to the F126 hull. The rudder profile was investigated intensively, tank tests have been performed to obtain the optimum shape with regards to resistance reduction and manoeuvring improvement. As the F126 vessels are equipped with twin counter rotating propellers, the rudders for any vessel are designed to direct the water flows in the wake of propellers moving opposite to each other.Special requirement for the naval operations of the F126 is to build the whole vessel, including the rudders, to extreme shock resistant specifications. The rudders are designed to withstand enormous shock loads. Based on extensive computational calculations, critical areas are strengthened and special welding details are applied. High strength steel of the best quality is used for construction, honouring the classification rules for naval ships. “We are happy to contribute to these state-of-the-art vessels,” Sales and Marketing Director Wim Knoester of DMC says. “With these twin-screw high-speed vessels, we can demonstrate the quality, efficiency and durability of our rudders. Being part of this high-profile Damen project allows us to show our capacity of delivering the highest class of ship…

This is when the FLEX Tunnel comes in. The FLEX Tunnel is a retractable tunnel system, constructed in the aft of a vessel hull. The airtight seal of the tunnel onto the nozzle creates vacuum, ensuring sufficient water flow to the propeller. Hereby the effective operation of the propeller remains guaranteed, even in shallow waters with minimal cargo. But when a ship is loaded and navigating in deep waters, the FLEX Tunnel can simply be retracted and embedded into the vessel hull. In this situation, the water flows into the propeller unobstructed. As opposed to a fixed tunnel, the flexible retraction of this system significantly reduces the overall resistance of a vessel. It allows the captain to choose when and where to set the tunnel into or out of operation. Recent news
