Ontwikkeling XXB (extra extra breed) Binnenvaart Containerschip (27 juni 2008)
De uitbreiding van de Europese Unie met 10 lidstaten en de toename van het gebruik van containers maakt dat er nieuwe marktkansen zijn voor de binnenvaart. Om deze reden is Bijlsma/VeKa, tezamen met Marine Service Noord B.V. en Alewijnse Noord B.V. in juli 2006 gestart met het project "XXB Binnenvaartschip". Hierin houdt men zich bezig met de ontwikkeling van een extra extra breed binnenvaartschip, met een capaciteit van + 500 TEU.
Het XXB binnenvaart containerschip zal een breedte krijgen van 22 meter. Terwijl een veel voorkomende maat voor een standaard binnenvaart containerschip 110 meter lengte en 11,40 meter breedte is. De voordelen van het XXB containerschip zijn:
- De gangboorden in het midden vervallen, waardoor er een groter laadruim ontstaat en minder materiaal en gewicht in het casco nodig is;
- De wijze van voortstuwing van het schip en het geïnstalleerd vermogen kan speciaal afgestemd worden op de rompvorm.
Er zijn uiteindelijk drie aparte onconventionele ontwerpen gemaakt, waarbij de meest onverwachte vorm de meest gunstige resultaten heeft gegeven. Deze vorm is door maritieme wetenschappers onderworpen aan een sleeptest en hieruit blijkt dat het ontwerp zeer gunstig is bij extreem ondiep water. Met betrekking tot de constructie is gezocht naar de mogelijkheid voor gewichtsreductie. Hierbij is onder andere gekeken naar vervorming en dwarskrachten. Marine Service Noord heeft hierin de machinekamertechnische aspecten onderzocht.
Het resultaat is een speciale binnenvaartcontainer, waarbij het middenschip lichter kan worden uitgevoerd door te optimaliseren op de opstelplaatsen van de containers.
Dit project wordt medegefinancierd door de Europese gemeenschap en het samenwerkingsverband Noord-Nederland, EZ / Kompas:

These two vessels are the last IMO II tankers outfitted by MSN at the Volharding location in Harlingen. At this moment MSN is still working on two additional 10.000 product tankers and the last two out of the series of four stainless steel chemical tankers.
Upon delivery of the systems and yardno. 583 to her new owners, the vessel set sail to load her first cargos.
Nowadays with shipyards building hulls abroad, MSN has proven to be a flexible and reliable partner in executing outfitting a vessel with the hull construction in various countries. Thus enabling shipyards to save valuable time during outfitting process at their locations in the Netherlands.
In addition MSN cooperates with shipyards in outfitting a vessel completely abroad by supplying knowledge, engineering, components, building supervision and commissioning of MSN developed systems at any location anywhere around the globe. This enables shipowners to obtain vessels at cheaper foreign building rates, without compromising on the high quality standards of Dutch shipbuilding.
Delivery of an engine room and a hydraulic system installation (27 March 2007)
For Vosta LMG Amsterdam, MSN has satisfactorily completed the delivery of the engine room and hydraulic system installation onboard a cutter suction dredger type CSD 600S.
From start of the engineering in September 2006 until delivery in March 2007, 6 months of intensive efforts have passed, resulting in a complete vessel afloat at the dock in Amsterdam.
This marks a new milestone in our relationship with Vosta LMG Amsterdam, after being granted partial deliveries of either engineering, or piping or components for other projects such as CSD500 for Namibia and Malaysia, MSN has now supplied her complete range of services; system engineering, delivery of piping and components, and outfitting on location.
The overall length of this CSD600, including spud carrier, is approx. 75 meters, with over 600 kW of cutter power available.
The completed vessel will now be dismantled for transport by sea and over land by trucks, to her final destination in the salt pans of Jordan.
