Brittany Ferries to Introduce 3rd E-Flexer in 2023
French shipping company Brittany Ferries has confirmed the charter of a third brand new cruise-ferry to serve its long-haul routes.
To be powered by LNG, the ship will be built at the AVIC Weihai Shipyard in China and is due to join Brittany Ferries network in 2023.
As yet unnamed, the new ship will be chartered from Stena RoRo and will be built to the Swedish shipowner s E-Flexer design. Its arrival will bring to three the number of E-Flexer class ships in Brittany Ferries fleet following the arrival of Galicia in 2021 and Salamanca in 2022.
"We re delighted to be adding another E-Flexer class cruise-ferry to our fleet. These are environmentally-friendly, capacious and comfortable ships which perfectly suit to our long-haul services," Christophe Mathieu, Brittany Ferries CEO, commented.
Brittany Ferries is also constructing another new ship, Honfleur, at the FSG shipyard in Flensburg Germany, expected to be delivered in late 2019.
The charter agreement, which includes an option to purchase the newbuild, represents the next step in the company s fleet renewal and investment program worth around EUR 550 million (USD 621 million). It will offer increased capacity as well as employment of French seafarers, according to Brittany Ferries.
"The charter will continue our fleet renewal plans, marking the fourth brand new ship in five years. It signals our confidence in the demand for ferry travel post-Brexit and will help us meet the needs of our passenger and freight customers in the decades to come. It also clearly demonstrates our commitment to LNG as a fuel," Mathieu added.
The three 42,200-ton E-Flexer class ships will be among the biggest in Brittany Ferries fleet. Each will feature a length of 21 meters with 3,000 garage lane metres for freight vehicles and capacity for around 1,000 passengers.

Nakilat Eyes Q-Flex LNG Carrier Transits on Panama Canal
Qatar-based shipping company Nakilat has conducted compatibility studies as part of its plans to send Q-Flex class LNG carriers through the Expanded Panama Canal.
The company informed that thorough assessments were also undertaken in order to secure a safe transit for these carriers through the new locks in the near future.
Since the New Panama Canal has been in operation, Nakilat s LPG vessels have transited through the canal 16 times while the company s joint-venture conventional LNG vessels have completed 38 transits.
"The flexibility of going through the New Panama Canal not only enables Nakilat to widen its international outreach and cement its position as a global leader of energy transportation, but also allows us to exceed customer satisfaction."
Panama Canal s expansion in 2016 allowed for bigger vessels, such as LNG carriers, to transit through the canal locks as they make their journey from East to West and vice versa. Passage through the canal allow vessels to shorten their voyage by about 13,000 km or 7,000 nautical miles, leading to shorter delivery times as well as operational cost savings.

ITF: Australia Detains German Bulk Carrier
Bulk carrier Anna-Elisabeth, owned by German Johann MK Blumenthal, has been detained by Australian authorities, according to the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF).
The crew aboard the Liberian-registered vessel, berthed at the Port Kembla Coal Terminal, submitted complaints of insufficient food, bullying and denial of shore leave to the ITF on March 25.
An ITF inspection on board the Flag of Convenience (FoC) vessel substantiated the crew s concerns, finding inadequate stores on board and confirming that the crew had not had shore leave since January 23 in South Africa.
"Meat and fish were freezer burnt and fresh provisions were very low, certainly not enough to get 17 seafarers to Singapore. It is our suspicion that this company is under intense financial pressure and have sought to save money wherever they can. The master confirmed the food ration was AUD 7 per day for all meals," Dean Summers, ITF national coordinator, said.
The ITF inspection also unveiled that the company had a new crew category of "Deck Rider" on their crew list which red-flagged the qualifications of all of the crew. The organization requested that the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) inspect the vessel, citing shore leave, lack of provisions, bullying and concern about minimum safe manning and crew qualifications as key issues.
The ship was not permitted to sail in the afternoon hours of March 25. Government inspectors were dispatched to the ship on March 26 where a detailed inspection continued throughout the day. The vessel was subsequently official detained by AMSA under the Maritime Labour Convention.
The Liberian register is reportedly sending a representative to the ship to work with the master and owners to rectify the long list of deficiencies.

Port of Antwerp brings different players together to produce sustainable methanol
Port of Antwerp is starting the year with an ambitious new project. By bringing various players in the port area together for sustainable production of methanol - an important raw material in the port - it is taking the next step in the transition to alternative energy sources and a carbon-neutral port.
Innovation will be key to the success and economic feasibility of this project, by combining different activities already present within the port platform such as electricity generation, the fuel industry and the chemical industry. The project is complex and challenging, but will be a "first" for Belgium.
Essential for the port
Methanol is an important raw material with multiple uses in the chemical industry, and also has many applications outside of it. With such a large chemical industry inside the port area, this substance is essential for the day-to-day operation of the port. Methanol is the starting point for all sorts of chemical processes used on a daily basis by the industrial players in the port. The port of Antwerp uses around 300,000 tonnes of methanol annually for chemical processes and fuel production: everything from insulation panels to fuel additives.
From fossil sources to sustainably produced fuel
However, methanol is currently obtained from fossil sources that can ultimately run out. By helping to introduce a new production process Port of Antwerp is now taking practical steps towards making the port more sustainable.
"In practical terms we will produce methanol from waste CO2 and sustainably generated hydrogen," explains Didier Van Osselaer, project manager at Port of Antwerp. "The waste CO2 will be collected by a new process called Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) in which at least some of the CO2 emissions are recovered. This CO2 is then combined with hydrogen generated on a sustainable basis using green energy in a new electrolysis plant. These two processes - CCU and electrolysis - together form the perfect basis for producing sustainable methanol."

New LNG bunkering terminal floated - literally
A provincial environmental review has begun for a $150 million LNG terminal that will supply both the domestic and international markets with liquefied natural gas from the FortisBC Tilbury Island plant.
The WesPac Tilbury Marine Jetty project has entered the BC Environmental Assessment review. A 45-day public comment period starts April 2.
The company behind the project, WesPac Midstream Vancouver, plans to build a temporary floating bunkering berth until a permanent one is built, sometime in 2022.
Once in operation, it would have one berth for one LNG carrier, and a berth for smaller LNG bunkering barges. In addition to a domestic bunkering market, WesPac expects there will also be LNG export opportunities, with Asia being the main market.
The terminal is expected to see up to 69 bunkering barges and 68 LNG carriers coming to and from the terminal annually.
The company wants to have a temporary floating terminal in place by 2020 to meet what is expected to be a new demand for LNG bunkering from the marine sector.
That s when new sulphur emissions caps come into effect for the international shipping industry. Some international vessels are expected to switch from bunker fuel to cleaner burning LNG.
"The reason why we want to build a temporary berth is to be able to get in the business of moving the LNG to bunker vessels sooner," said project manager Peter Gallenberger. "The reason we want that is that the International Maritime Organization have regulations hitting in 2020 that will require shippers to significantly reduce sulphur emissions. LNG is one of the alternatives that are being adopted by shippers, so we want to be ready for that market.
"This project will, I think, help make a hub for LNG fuel in B.C."
But even without the new IMO regulations, a domestic market for LNG for the marine sector is already developing. Seaspan and BC Ferries have been moving some of their ferries to LNG, and it s a market that is expected to continue to expand.
The proposed jetty will be located at Tilbury Island in the south arm of the Fraser River, where FortisBC s Tilbury Island LNG plant has undergone an expansion. The new terminal would have an annual capacity of 3 million tonnes of LNG per year. I
Building the permanent terminal will require dredging in the south arm of the Fraser River. Gallenberger said he expects the EAO process will take about nine months.
The project s construction is expected to employ roughly 100 workers, and 10 permanently once in operation.
