[Ship Building] Big3 may miss target

Despite active investment in offshore plant, Korea's Big3 shipbuilders/offshore plant fabricators may miss their 2012 new order targets, due to depressed ordering for commercial ship.

Sources said that Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering filled up 71% of 2012 target, as of the end of August, while Samsung Heavy Industries and Hyundai Heavy Industries reached 52% and 32% each.

Daewoo has inked around $7.83bn year to date with new order target totalling $11bn. Among those contracted, $5.28bn belongs to offshore plant sector, including two semi-submersible rigs, one FPSO, five fixed-type offshore platforms, etc.

Aiming $12.5bn in 2012, Samsung barely exceeded half of the target with $6.5bn worth of contracts. Although the Geojae-based shipyard is expected to win orders for offshore production facility, drillship, LNG carrier, etc., during the second half of the year, it is unclear whether it will attain the target or not.

Hyundai set its new order goal for this year from shipbuilding, offshore & engineering and industrial plant & engineering divisions, totalling $23.6bn (Hyundai Samho HI included). However, it is far away from the target, only $7.6bn having been contracted. What is worse, promising projects scheduled in 2012 would possibly be postponed to early 2013.

[Marine] Shell engages in LNG-powered ships

Sep. 5, 2012 - Today, Shell, announced it has signed a contract for the charter of two new build LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) powered tank barges. These 110 m long barges will operate on the Rhine and will be on charter to Shell from 2013.

The new 100% LNG powered barges will not only be a first for Shell but for the inland marine industry. They will be built at Peters Shipyards in Kampen, The Netherlands and operated by Interstream Barging (ISB).

These LNG powered barges will be new additions to the existing Shell Rhine Fleet and will operate in The Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany. The first is expected to be delivered to Shell in Spring 2013.

Dr. Grahaeme Henderson, Shell Vice President for Shipping, who yesterday marked the start of the barge construction when he ceremonially laid the keel, said: “Shell sees real growth opportunities for LNG as a fuel in coastal and inland shipping in Europe. LNG can help shipping operators meet strict emissions standards, such as those that are due to apply on the Rhine.”

The barges will carry enough LNG to sail for up to seven days - from Rotterdam to Basel and back without refuelling. Unlike many traditional barges the bridge / wheelhouse is at the front of the ship. This will enable better trim, more efficient movement through water and the potential for a higher level of safety.

Shell is looking at a range of ways to improve the efficiency of its barge fleet along the Rhine. LNG barges are likely to become an increasing part of the mix but improvements can also be made to the efficiency of existing barges. As part of this, Shell is monitoring the fuel efficiency of all its chartered barges to improve operational efficiency.
