system breakdowns is starting to increase.
Protacon rebuild concepts allow short downtime
and are a cost-effective way to get more life out
of vessels. They have been used in five
icebreaker rebuilds in Finland and Sweden.
After three years of operation of the first
projects, the results are excellent. As a next
step, the digitalization enables systems that
decrease fuel consumption and pollution, based
on variable-speed generator and energy storage
systems.
12:40-2:10pm – Lunch

repair techniques
Moderator
John Carlton, Professor of marine
engineering, City University London, UK
2:10pm – Broken stud removal in the
marine industry using metal
disintegration
Gavin Aris, managing director, Foretract
Engineering Ltd, UK
This talk covers the process and equipment
used to cut accurate holes using specialized

of applications in the marine industry. Case
studies are given that show how this method can
dramatically reduce lost time on in-service
vessels.
2:35pm – Repair and maintenance of
obsolete automation electronics
Cornelis Pols, service engineer/owner, Ship
Electronics, Netherlands
Since ships are active for an average of 25
years, legacy automation electronics
maintenance will remain important in retaining
older ship assets. Makers give up support for
essential ship electronics at around 15 years,
leaving ship owners with a difficult decision
whether to upgrade or purchase appropriate
repair services. Although upgrades match
automation makers’ business models well, the
repair of makers’ own obsolete electronics does
not, leaving ship owners at a disadvantage. This
talk looks into upgrading versus electronic repair
options, with sample success cases, plus
preventive maintenance for raising the lifetime
of automation electronics to match ship
lifespans.
3:00-3:30pm – Break
3:30pm – Laser-cladding technology for
in-situ repairs of marine crankshafts
Toms Torims, professor, Riga Technical
University, Latvia
The presentation will outline the novel, in-situ
concept of applying laser cladding to marine
crankshafts. It will cover a design of the
laser-cladding machine for marine diesel engine
crankshaft in-situ repairs. The technology and
device are designed to perform crankpin journal
build-up operations directly in the engine
housing, without removing the crankshaft from
the engine. This could be combined with the
subsequent final machining operation – grinding.
The proposed device and method satisfy
shipboard crankshaft surface renovation needs
and open up an entirely new dimension for the
industrial application of laser-cladding
technologies.
3:55pm – The repair of maritime and
offshore structures using SPS overlay
Ian Nash, maritime business manager,
Intelligent Engineering, UK
SPS is a structural composite, used in a wide
variety of maritime and offshore repair
applications. Intelligent Engineering is
continually expanding its portfolio of SPS
Overlay repair solutions offered to ship and
offshore operators. Approved by major
regulatory authorities, SPS Overlay
dramatically reduces repair times, often without
taking vessels out of service or waiting for an
offshore shutdown period. SPS Overlay
applications include: tank tops and bulkheads,
decks and ramps, strengthening, helidecks,
high-impact-resistant areas, protection of
vulnerable structures, MARPOL-compliant
side-shell protection, on-station repairs.
