'Leonardo Da Vinci' arrives at Port Botany
Australia: The dredger ‘Leonardo Da Vinci’ has arrived at Port Botany to fulfill its role in the port’s A$1 billion (US$650 million) expansion plans.
Sydney Ports Corporation’s representative Grant Gilfillan explained that construction began in July 2008 and the scope of the project includes the reclamation of 63 hectares to build a 60-hectare terminal with five new shipping berths and 1,850 metres of new wharves. Measuring 130 metes in length and 22.4 metres at the beam, the self propelled cutter suction dredger ‘Leonardo Da Vinci’, owned by Dutch firm Jan De Nul, will be involved in preparing the foundations of the new wharves, dredging to a depth of 30 metres. Mr Gilfillan added that all the dredging and reclamation works are scheduled to be completed in early 2010. Once the ‘Leonardo Da Vinci’ completes its work in Port Botany, another dredger the ‘Marco Polo will arrive around August this year and will remain until the completion of dredging in early 2010.

Wärtsilä receives order for FSV Design
Wärtsilä, ship power system integrator for the marine industry, has received a ship design order from the Norwegian shipping company Sartor Shipping AS.
The order is for two Vik-Sandvik 465 FSV design vessels that will be built at the Wison Heavy Industry shipyard in China. Wärtsilä scope of supply also includes two main engines, gear boxes and propellers. Sartor Shipping has options for further newbuildings at the yard. The vessels are due for delivery in 2010 and 2011. The design incorporates a hybrid system that offers considerable fuel savings compared to a purely diesel mechanical solution. This is because the available power can be adjusted to meet the various demands of the different operations that this type of vessel will be used for. The savings will be particularly notable when operating at lower power loads. Multi-functionality is an extremely important feature of this design as the vessels are intended for use in a multitude of different tasks. These are likely to include offshore standby service, emergency towing, oil spill recovery, ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) operations, fire fighting, tanker assistance and surface surveillance.Read More
