Consulting Services for the Ballast Water Management Convention

Comprehensive Services for the Ballast Water Management Convention

There are a number of particular challenges that shipping companies need to address in order to meet the

quality standards required by the Ballast Water Management Convention adopted in 2004, such as

consideration of installation space and pipings, capacity of generators and pumps, amongst other technical

concerns.

ClassNK Consulting Service Co., Ltd. (NKCS) provides the following technical services.

●Technical advice for selection of suitable Ballast Water Management System (BWMS) and development of

　rough design

●Development of drawings for installation by means of 3D Laser Scanner

●Development of Ballast Water Management Plan (BWMP)

●Coordination and Supervision on behalf of shipowner




We can provide technical advice for selection of an

optimal system based on particulars of a given ship, the

results of accumulated know-how in examining BWMS

capability, measures regarding approved systems, as well

as trial designs based on existing ship drawings.

Technical advice for selection of suitable BWMS

3D Modeling by means of 3D Laser Scanner

If a shipping company decides to install a BWMS in engine room or

similar location in case where there are not so much spaces, which is

a particular concern for existing vessels, much more effort must be

made in order to obtain information required for suitable

construction, including onboard inspections and developing detailed

drawings for installation based on original 2D plans.

However, using 3D laser scanner, you can significantly reduce

man-hours needed for such works.

Therefore, 3D drawings made by scanning ship’s internal structures

and arrangements using 3D laser scanner can be most effective for

smoothly facilitating the installation design works. We can provide

support in preparing drawings using this technology.

We provide supports in development of BWMP all the way to approval by

ClassNK with our guidance. Therefore, you can obtain approval of BWMP

simply by applying to us.

ClassNK-NAPA GREEN

Comprehensive Software Solutions for Eco-Efficient Operations

Reducing Fuel Costs and Increasing Operational Efficiency

ClassNK (NK) has released a new solution for energy savings in collaboration with NAPA, the leading

software house for ship design and ship operation.

ClassNK-NAPA GREEN offers a comprehensive solution to reduce fuel costs and emissions as well as to

improve the operational efficiency, and hence helps shipping companies to comply with SEEMP requirements.

It is possible to grasp highly accurate ship performance in actual sea condition and to utilize various kinds

of analysis data by using ClassNK-NAPA GREEN.

ClassNK-NAPA GREEN enables shipping companies to reduce

fuel costs and to make efficient operations by using powerful

ship performance and monitoring tool incorporating actual

sea condition.




To reduce total operation costs, ClassNK-NAPA

GREEN enables shipping companies to realize

savings by providing tools for

●Trim optimization

●Weather routing

●Speed and route optimization

●Real time monitoring

●Comprehensive reporting

●Web portal functionality indicating operational data and analysis data

●Hull cleaning and propeller cleaning/polishing evaluation analysis and

●Creating actual SEEMP for continuousperformance improvement

while never compromising safety.

How to reduce fuel costs & realize efficient operation

Saving and time for return on investment of adopting operational tools for fuel savings will greatly depends

on the conditions such as ship’s age, ship type, size, specification, current operational manners and amount

of current fuel consumption.

For example, in the below conditions, ClassNK-NAPA GREEN brings much benefit to shipping companies by

reducing cost each and every year.

How You Benefit

Implementation

Example calculation for cost-effectiveness: 8000TEU Container Carriers

Example calculation for cost-effectiveness: Cape size Bulk Carriers

In case if ClassNK-NAPA GREEN achieves a 5% fuel saving.(with route optimization/speed optimization & trim optimization)150t/day ×350USD/t × 5% × 200 days = 525,000USD/year（reduction of fuel costs in 1 year）

In case if ClassNK-NAPA GREEN achieves a 5% fuel saving.(with route optimization/speed optimization)50t/day x 350USD/t x 5% x 200 days = 175,000USD/year（reduction of fuel costs in 1 year）

Actual adoption process of ClassNK-NAPA GREEN depends on

the features required. Collection of operational data and its

advanced analysis is realized by collecting data signals from existing navigational equipment onboard &

engine data logger etc. Concrete plan will be made in due regard of customer needs.

Taking into total consideration of the request and existing equipment and sensors onboard etc., we will offer

best proposals for implementation to realize saving way.

The revolutionary ClassNK-PEERLESS software uses cloud point data gathered by FARO or Leica

Geosystems 3D laser scanners to create highly accurate 3D models of structure interiors, and can further

convert these models into user-friendly CAD format. Using ClassNK-PEERLESS designers can drastically

reduce design lead times and costs associated with retrofitting BWMS.

ClassNK-PEERLESS; 3D Modelling Software for BWMS retrofitting




●Process vast amounts of cloud point data with ease

●Shorten the modeling process with the ship

equipment rule database

●Easily filter noise from the cloud point data

Data for 3D models can be created in file formats

such as IGES or STEP, as well as CAD

software-specific formats including AVEVA Marine and

CADMATIC.

Features

The cost of ClassNK-PEERLESS depends on

the area of installed software, so designers

only have to pay for what they use.

The applicants are able to set indispensable items into our SEEMP

Template smoothly such as ship specific measures for improving

energy efficiency, goal setting etc. ClassNK’s approval which

affirms that SEEMP satisfy the specifications set forth in IMO

Guidelines will be completed smoothly by input into our SEEMP

Template.

Implementation

SEEMP is to be developed based on the energy efficiency

improvement measures to be adopted according to actual

situation of each ship in fleet owned by shipping

company, taking relevant IMO Guidelines (see Resolution

MEPC.213 (63)) into account. However, approval of

SEEMP by the Flag state or RO is not required.

SEEMP involves a wide range of details. Therefore,

shipping companies should carefully consider the details

to be included in each ship-specific SEEMP, such as

selection of operational measures to be covered, goal

setting, and similar factors taking corporate policy into

account.

In order to support shipping companies in smooth

development of SEEMP for ships in their fleet, we offer

“Development of SEEMP” including providing a

SEEMP Template developed by us that can ease process
