Rolls-Royce Wins Tender to Design Internet-Famous UK Polar Research Vessel
Rolls-Royce has won the tender to design and equip the UK's new $300 million polar research vessel RRS Boaty McBoatface RRS Sir David Attenborough, said to be one of the most advanced research ships ever constructed.

Rolls-Royce was awarded the tender by British maritime engineer Cammell Laird following a competitive 12-month tender process.

Cammell Laird was commissioned by the UK's Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) to build the UK's future polar research vessel last year. Upon completion, the RRS Sir David Attenborough will be operated by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and made available to the whole UK research community, including for postgraduate training. In addition to carrying out research in both the Antarctic and Arctic, the ship will transport supplies to Antarctic research stations.

The ship design selected by Cammell Laird is from Rolls-Royce, with detailed design already well on its way with construction expected to start in June at the Birkenhead yard.

The Rolls-Royce design, known as the UT 851 POLAR, was specifically developed to meet Cammell Laird's requirements.

Among the main requirements for the RSS Sir David Attenborough are very low levels of underwater radiated noise, Polar Code 4 ice class, Lloyd's Register classification, space for a total of 90 people, a large cargo capacity, long cruising range and endurance, and the minimum risk of pollution. The 128-meter long UT 851 PRV builds on the design of the Rolls-Royce UT 395 Polar Code 3 research vessel, FF Kronprins Haakon, which is currently under construction in Italy for the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research.

Once completed, the vessel will capable breaking first year ice of up to one meter thick at a speed three knots, and will tow equipment over the stern or side at 6-8 knots, as well as carry out acoustic surveys at up to 11 knots. Rolls-Royce says that special attention is given to avoiding sweep-down of bubbles around the hull that could interfere with acoustic sensors, while an overiding requirement has been made for extremely low underwater radiated noise to avoid interference with survey equipment or disturbance to marine life.

The ship will be equipped with a diesel-electric propulsion system powered by the new Bergen B33:45 engines - including two nine cylinder and two six cylinder engines - supplied together with 4.5m CP propellers in a Promas installation driven by two independent motors on each shaft. Auxiliary thrusters to meet requirements for redundant propulsion and dynamic positioning.

Handling systems on board will also supplied by Rolls-Royce and will cover a wide range of tasks. For example, subsea acoustic survey, towing of scientific equipment with up to 12,000m of wire, deploying equipment over the side or through the moonpool in up to 9,000m of water, among other tasks. The ship will feature onboard laboratories that will allow prompt analysis of samples, and a stern and side A-frame will enable the deployment of other systems.

The fulfill its supply vessel role, the UT 851 PRV will be able to transport fuels and containerized cargo, and operate two small helicopters. An endurance of up to 60 days in sea-ice will enable scientists to gather more observations and data.

The ship will also come equipped with robotic submersibles and marine gliders to collect data on ocean conditions and marine biology and deliver it to scientists working in the ship's on-board laboratories. Airborne robots and on-board environmental monitoring systems will also provide detailed information on the surrounding polar environment.

"This state of the art vessel shows what Cammell Laird is capable of as one of Europe’s most innovative, best equipped and highly skilled marine engineering service providers," commented Cammell Laird CEO John Syvret. "We are looking forward to working with our long standing supplier Rolls-Royce and combining their industry leading expertise with our world-class facilities and workforce."

RRS Sir David Attenborough is scheduled to be operational by 2019.

Of course the ship was made internet-famous after the name RRS Boaty McBoatface went viral in NERC’s online competition to name the vessel. Ultimately, the UK government decided that Sir David Attenborough, a world-renowned naturalist and British broadcaster, was a more fitting name for the vessel. The government decided however that the name Boaty McBoatface will live on in the name of one of the ship's subsea vehicles that will support the research crew.

New Containerized Bulk Transport and Storage System Ready to Offer Major Advantages to Global Shipping Markets
Double Crown Resources, Inc. (DDCC), is very pleased to announce that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued a Notice of Allowance on the current application for the interlocking, intermodal bulk commodity transport system called Translock˛ (Translock Squared). The Notice of Allowance confirms that the Translock˛ technology meets all requirements for a U.S. Patent and that the patent is expected to issue shortly. With this patent, Double Crown Resources will have the exclusive use of this technology throughout the United States. Building off of these positive developments, Double Crown management anticipates that the international patenting efforts for Translock˛ will also soon be successful. In 2015, Double Crown filed an international patent application pursuant to the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) to protect inventive aspects of the Translock˛ system in other countries. Double Crown management plans to leverage its success with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to quickly secure additional patent rights in various other countries, for example using Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) agreements.

Regarding this milestone achievement, President Allen E. Lopez commented, "I am extremely proud of our Translock˛ design and engineering team as well as our legal professionals who made certain that every essential step in this process to obtaining the patent was performed to the highest standards on every detail. It is significant to note that the granting of this patent will come at the 60th anniversary of containerized shipping, as covered in a recent shipping industry journal article at MarineLink.com (reference link: 60th Birthday for Container Shipping) and also just when a major new global shipping alliance has been formed, as announced on JOC.com (reference link: Container shipping's new Ocean Alliance is born). Now, with the U.S. Patent Office's Notice of Allowance in our hands, we can clearly demonstrate to the global shipping industry that Double Crown Resources will be the marketing source for the unmatched technological advantages of the interlocking, intermodal bulk commodity transport container system. Translock˛ will provide major cost and time savings to the world’s commodity shippers across multiple industries by reducing the number of product handling and transfer steps, significantly expediting the loading and unloading of cargo, improving product security and integrity, elevating operator safety standards and protecting the environment from undesired spillage. Translock˛ is ready to bring all these benefits to the commercial shipping arena in 2016 and beyond."
