Ensure Operational Readiness With Propspeed

Friday, 28th October 2022

For any type of vessel – whether it be passenger, military, patrol, search and rescue, fire or spill response or crew transfer vessel – when it comes to knowing your vessel is operationally ready at a moment’s notice, more agencies, owners and operators are turning to Propspeed to protect their underwater assets.

The protection of underwater assets goes beyond operational readiness. With cost always at the forefront of a vessel manager’s mind, there are so many factors that need to be considered.

There are fuel costs, maintenance costs, the costs of repair and replacement of key components, as well as the costs and loss of revenue that can incur if a vessel is out of commission and in the yard. These costs can easily and inexpensively be reduced through the protection of the vessel’s propellers, thrusters, shafts, intakes, cooling systems and all other underwater metals, with one product line designed specifically for these surfaces.

Offering all-in-one protection, the Propspeed coating system is the best defence against marine growth, corrosion and electrolysis for all underwater metal assets. Propspeed’s ultra-slick topcoat is specially formulated to prevent marine growth from bonding to metal surfaces below the waterline and is proven to increase efficiency throughout a vessel’s entire service cycle. Propspeed ensures that a vessel can run at peak efficiency, free from marine growth and damaging corrosion and electrolysis while reducing fuel burn, maintenance costs and downtime, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing boat speed.

The Propspeed system, developed for running gear and underwater metals, features an exceptionally strong chemical and mechanical bond between the metal substrate, the Etching Primer and the Clear Coat – ensuring the Propspeed coating has strong adhesion to running gear.

A proven product in the field, Propspeed has been rigorously tested by electronics and parts manufacturers to obtain endorsements and is currently in service with ferry companies, research vessels, commercial fishing fleets, as well as NZ Navy vessels. For installers and shipyards, Propspeed’s in-field technical support and training is available globally and the Propspeed Commercial Kit is packaged in quantities to meet the demands of commercial applications.

Castoldi launches US division

Friday, 28th October 2022

Castoldi is creating a permanent presence in the United States with an American office in Seattle called Castoldi USA Inc.

The US division, being headed up by James Langner, US sales representative, will take care about new sales in the territory and handle after sales service for the company’s American customers.

“The US office gives us a firm presence in America and will reassure our customers that we have a truly global presence. It will give them the confidence to invest in our proven waterjet technology knowing that they will also receive the top quality after-sales service our customers have come to expect,” said Mr Langner.

Competitive edge
The US office will handle all American sales across all markets, including fishing, workboats, fast ferries, high speed craft, military and shallow draft applications.

Castoldi’s competitive edge is centred around its integrated gearbox offering one of the most efficient, light weight and compact propulsion systems available on the market today.

Much more than a simple pump, it is a complete, integrated marine propulsion system. The Castoldi waterjet drive is very light due to the aluminium alloy construction of its principal parts. The gearbox with hydraulic clutch is integrated in the unit therefore the engine need not be provided with a marine transmission.

Castoldi provides full support to its customers supplying the waterjet (with integrated gearbox), the control system for waterjet and engine and designing the suitable transmission set.

The Castoldi waterjet can easily operate in shallow waters and critical conditions due to its unique design including all oil lubricated bearings and the impeller shaft rotating into a housing, not in contact with water. The waterjet intake is protected by a movable grid and optionally the waterjet can be equipped with the ultimate cleaning system by Castoldi (called Clear-Duct) that performs the impeller reversing (back-flush) in combination with the opening of the intake grid.

The waterjet is made from high quality material with AISI 316 or Duplex micro-cast stainless steel impellers and stainless steel or titanium liners. It has been toughened using an anti-corrosion hard anodising treatment protecting all the aluminium alloy components with 60 microns thickness of aluminium oxide (ceramic), three layers of special paint and cathodic protection by sacrificial anodes. This makes the waterjet unique in its construction quality.
The Castoldi Waterjet is installed worldwide on various types of fishing, commercial, military and pleasure vessels.

Castoldi will be exhibiting at Booth 1205 at Pacific Expo in Seattle from 17 to 19 November 2022.

Not even dark clouds could stop Team Hydroscand from skydiving for Samaritans!

Tuesday, 25th October 2022

In January this year, Hydroscand UK made the decision to support Samaritans as our chosen charity for 2022.

In order to raise money, Branch Manager Nick Thomas suggested doing a Skydive!

We asked all team members whether they would like to take part. Initially there were eleven people interested. Slowly but surely, the team was confirmed as Rebecca Galley, Managing Director; Deb Wardle, Assistant Branch Manager; Claire English, Administrator and Corey Lewis, Branch Technician.

In June the skydive was booked at Langar Airfield, Nottingham for 18th September and there was no going back!

Fundraising began! Deb Wardle said: “I agreed to join in our charity skydive challenge, and having done so, I set about thinking of ways to generate the greatest amount of funds and donations.

“Time was fast approaching, and we only had a month to complete our fundraising before jump day. A Hydroscand JustGiving page was set up: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/hydroscand-uk, and I set about sharing the details with close family and friends and posting the link to my social media pages.

“I received a few donations but by the time two weeks had past, leaving just two weeks to jump day, I felt a different tack was required.

“I purchased some blackout cards from Amazon and once received, I created a message which I shared individually to all my family, friends and work colleagues, social media friends and acquaintances, stating that I intended to sell each of the 40 squares on the sheet, at £5 per square, generating £200 income.

“I planned to split the funds 50/50 with the charity, and a cash prize to the person with the winning square. This raised a lot of interest and over the course of the weekend, I received 36-40 pledges.

“By Sunday evening I delved a little deeper into my contact lists and pushed to fill the card. As a result, I had an influx of pledges and ended up completing 2 full cards!
“I went into work on Monday morning, took photos of the completed cards and arranged for our Product Manager to reveal the winners, by removing the foil tabs in the presence of Rebecca Galley and myself.

“I took photos of the cards and then set about notifying the donors with a message of thanks. I sent off the 2 x £100 donations to our charity page and sent the 2 x £100 payments to winner’s accounts.

“One of my works colleagues, Claire was also doing the jump. I gave her one of the cards and explained the format. Claire managed to fill the card and generated another £100 charity donation.

“Our target figure was reached, and we increased it twice more, following both Claire now sharing the donation page details daily on our social media pages.

“During the week before the jump, I also printed off the picture of the Hydroscand Team and text which I laminated and put on our branch doors saying that all donations would be gratefully received.

“I placed a collection tin in our canteen and one on our trade counter asking for donations.

“On the evening before and the morning of our jump, I decided to send a message out to some of our customers and supplier contacts and managed to get another £300 of donations.

The day finally arrived. Everyone arrived at the allotted time of 11am and registered. Then the wait began! It became cloudy and at one point we were not sure if the skydive was going to go ahead.

After being delayed due to bad weather, they took to the sky around 2pm before completing freefall from 10,000ft followed by a slower descent via parachute a few minutes later.

The atmosphere was amazing, and everyone was buzzing. We asked for some reactions after the skydive and here is what they said:

Corey said: “Oh, that was brilliant, I loved it.”
Deb said: “I did it.”

Claire said: “I’m glad I am on the floor.”

Rebecca said: “Absolutely terrifying. I’m glad we did it because we did it for a great cause.”

We want to give our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has sponsored the team. We have raised in excess of £1,500 for Samaritans. The funds will help keep their helpline available for people who need it.

Turn Words into Action with Product Personalisation

Tuesday, 25th October 2022

A look into how leading manufacturer, Glasdon, offer advanced levels of product personalisation to help their customers turn powerful messages into positive action within their organisation.

Responsible waste management and recycling is critical to the environment, and recycling programmes undoubtedly be required to adapt over time. Which is why Glasdon offer their customers the opportunities to create, design, and shape their waste management solutions to their requirements.

The inclusion of a logo, slogan, colour change, brand name, mission statement, or just a simple evocative message to invoke a positive reaction can transform a simple waste solution into an invaluable ally within a recycling programme.

It is the ideal way to convey a green message and the perfect way to encourage the use of the unit, and therefore increase recycling efforts within the organisation.

How Can Product Personalisation be used to Improve

Recycling?
Whilst personalisation is the ideal way to advertise or extend the organisation’s brand identity, it can also prove to be an effective means to increase the use of the product and convey a clear and concise message of the organisation’s environmental efforts or intentions. This can in turn improve recycling efforts within an organisation by creating a core principle to reduce their negative environmental impact.

The inclusion of a waste management solution that is attractive, bright, informative, and engaging to use can offer a much more user-friendly experience and encourage correct recycling. Signifying what exactly can and can’t be recycled instantly helps users and most importantly reduces and can even eliminate the cross-contamination of recyclable waste.

With Net-Zero targets in the minds of many, now more than ever is the perfect time to demonstrate green intentions. The introduction of a personalised product is a great way to raise awareness and contribute towards zero carbon emissions on the Net-Zero journey.

A prime example would be to include a powerful message, statement, facts or figures that will help encourage a reduce, reuse and recycle motive. Another idea would be to include unique graphics of designated waste streams that can be easily identified by the users. Listed below are some key components that can be included or adapted to enhance an organisation’s environmental efforts and help meet Net Zero targets.

Waste Stream Graphics
Creating and implementing your own unique waste graphics combined with brand colours and original fonts can carve out a clear message for how your organisation is going to recycle. Glasdon recommend opting for something recognisable and identifiable to ensure users know instantly where and which waste they can deposit.

Logos
Adding the organisation’s logo is a simple way to build a sense of ownership and commitment around a waste management programme.

Colour Schemes
If their wide range of standard colours aren’t quite what you are looking for, Glasdon offer the option to choose many of their products in a variety of non-standard colours – which is a great way to co-ordinate with a brand identity or internal colour scheme.

Full Body Graphics & Wraparounds
A truly impactful way of making your recycling bin stand out, encouraging use, and improve recycling efforts. Completely change the look and feel while boosting the purpose of the unit through a full-body vinyl wrap.

Polycarbonate Plaques, Poster Frame Kits & Sign Kits
Another way to personalise is to utilise the optional signage options available on many of their litter bins and recycling stations. Polycarbonate plaques, poster frame kits and rear fixed sign kits all offer the opportunity to add graphics, logos, messaging and more to really boost visibility of your scheme or advertisement.

Looking to create something completely unique? Contact Glasdon today.

Achieving a Goal Through Personalisation
Creating environmental products with the opportunity for personalisation in mind is often at the forefront of the design process at Glasdon. Because of this, they offer a vast array of solutions which feature areas that can be personalised with graphics or signage.

Litter and Recycling Bins/Wheelie Bin Housings
Seating
Water Safety Equipment
Buildings and Kiosks
Bollards
Gateways
Multi-Purpose Shelters

The majority of their products can be ordered with standard options such as different coloured body, slats, apertures, waste graphics, or the addition of sign kits. On the other hand, if you’re looking for something a bit different, a large selection of their products can be taken one step further. All that’s required is your imagination!

Glasdon also offer a free visualisation service where their in-house graphics team are on hand to prepare a visual of your desired product with chosen personalisation.

MJR Power and Automation Secures Additional Grant Funding as Part Of Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition

Thursday, 6th October 2022

A leading UK marine electrical engineering specialist – MJR Power and Automation – has successfully been awarded a second round of UK government funding for development of its offshore charging system technology, to connect and charge Service Operation Vessels (SOVs) working in the field.

The “Service Operational Vessel Offshore Charging System” project is part of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition Round 2 (CMDC2) which was launched in May 2022, funded by the Department for Transport and delivered in partnership with Innovate UK. As part of the CMDC2, the Department allocated over £14m to 31 projects supported by 121 organisations from across the UK to deliver feasibility studies and collaborative R&D projects in clean maritime solutions.

The funding will enable the Teesside based business, to fast track the next development and prototyping of its already proven offshore charging technology system which will now allow Service Operation Vessels (SOVs) and Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs), as well as other vessel types, to connect in the field to a 100% green energy source generated directly by the offshore wind turbines for the efficient, safe and reliable transfer of power.

And the project comes on the back of MJR Power and Automation already successfully securing the first round of funding as part of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition.

This has seen the company fast track the development and factory testing of an electrical offshore charging vessel system suitable for Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) which was showcased earlier this year at the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition Final Showcase held at Portsmouth International Port, and is now in its final stages of testing with deployment expected imminently.

As part of the next phase of development – enabled by the second phase of funding – the business will lead a consortium of partners, all pioneers in maritime decarbonisation, to deliver the project over the next eight months.

At present, the shift to fully electric and meaningful hybrid electric power – for many vessels – is hampered by a lack of available infrastructure for recharging offshore, with shore power and shoreside charging facilities being very limited or non-existent. As such, MJR Power and Automation’s innovation is already set to break down existing range barriers for CTVs – and now additional vessels with the next round of grant funding – to increase the uptake of fully electric and green propulsion systems, for retrofit and new build vessels by vessel owners and operators.

It is estimated in the UK alone, the range of vessels working in offshore operations – powered by Marine Gasoil (MGO) – is responsible for producing an estimated total of 285,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum. As such, the ability to charge when in the field, with the company’s offshore charging system, will significantly accelerate adoption of current emission-free propulsion systems which will be a major asset for the decarbonisation of the UK and global maritime sector.

Speaking about securing the grant, Paul Cairns, Managing Director at MJR Power and Automation said: “We are delighted to have secured this second round of funding from the Department of Transport that will be absolutely pivotal in supporting the decarbonisation of marine operations. Working with our key partners, who are all experts in their fields, we will take the lessons learned from the first project and apply extensive knowledge to develop this solution and bring it to market, where there is already a huge demand for it.”

The CMDC2 is part of the UK Shipping Office for Reducing Emission’s (UK SHORE) flagship multi-year CMDC programme. In March 2022, the Department announced the biggest government investment ever in our UK commercial maritime sector, allocating £206m to UK SHORE, a new division within the Department for Transport focused on decarbonising the maritime sector. UK SHORE is delivering a suite of interventions throughout 2022-2025 aimed at accelerating the design, manufacture and operation of UK-made clean maritime technologies and unlocking an industry-led transition to Net Zero.

With over 25 years’ experience delivering marine electrical power and automation projects to the marine, offshore and energy sectors., MJR Power & Automation is at the very forefront of providing innovative solutions – both at port and offshore – to support the decarbonisation of the maritime sector.

Ben Buchele Launches Water-Cooled Motors

Tuesday, 4th October 2022

Nürnberg, Germany-based Ben Buchele Elektromotorenwerke GmbH has unveiled a new range of stainless steel, water-cooled, induction motors for use in confined spaces and cleanrooms. They are available globally in 0.75 to 300 kW capacity.

The three-phase (or asynchronous) motors are suited to applications where high performance is a requirement, but noise and heat must be kept to a minimum, such as in small spaces that are common in many sectors.

The company, which manufactures standard and custom-built motors for heavy-duty applications globally, is offering the range as an alternative to air-cooled motors. The electric current in the rotor is supplied by three separate phases, producing torque by electromagnetic induction. The range meets international standard class IE3 (S1), which covers both efficiency and duty cycle.

The new range starts with the WD71 model and goes up to the WD315; WD is a reference to ‘water-cooled’ in German, while the numbers represent the motors’ frame size. The dimensions of the products vary as the motors increase in frame size in 13 total increments, also including 80, 90, 100, 112, 132, 160, 180, 200, 225, 250, and 280.

Detlef Koslowsky, head of sales at Ben Buchele, said: “With our WD model, you can achieve significant reduction of the footprint on people and the environment through noise emissions and heat dissipation. As opposed to air-cooled motors, water-cooled motors do not cause swirling of dust or dirt, making them the ideal solution for hygienically critical areas. The S1 duty cycle means that the motor runs continuously, which is important for these types of application.”

Koslowsky explained that the range will be sold to both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users, with test facilities, printing devices, textile machines, injection machines, maritime hybrid engines, and anchor / mooring winches, among target applications. Depending on the end use—and customer preference—they can be supplied coated, or painted in white, which will likely be the chosen option for those utilising them in food production environments.

The new water-cooled (or WD) range can be used in the most challenging conditions, such as those where seawater, salty air, and ambient temperatures of up to +60°C are present. Manufactured with high-quality, application-sensitive seals and sealants, Ben Buchele can achieve protection levels according to IP56, 66, or 67, depending on the motor, without compromising performance.

While the range—WD71 to WD315—is standard based on frame size and capacity, each unit is prepared accordingly to individual specifications. With the variable multi-foot attachment and adjustable casing, the shape of the motor can even be modified multiple times, including onsite. The coolant supply openings are located on the non-driving side to allow for further ease of modification. The performance range reaches currents up to 690V, for operating modes of S1-S9, regardless of whether the motor is then operated at 50 / 60Hz or using a frequency converter:

Ben Buchele is increasingly focussing on the U.S. market and will exhibit at the International WorkBoat Show, which takes place at the Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, Louisiana, on 30 November to 2 December. Notably, in the U.S., the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) efficiency standards for electric motors are still widely used; its premium classification is identical to the IEC classification of IE3.

Future Proof Recycling Solutions for All Environments

Monday, 26th September 2022

Recycling Solutions – Better for the planet, better for the budget

Over recent years, calls to close the loop between production and consumerism have risen sharply, and the need for sustainable products, environmentally conscious working practices and recycling solutions is more important than ever.

With the power to extend product life cycles and relieve pressure on limited resources, successful recycling initiatives allow businesses and organisations to create a viable model of reducing, reusing, recycling and working towards achieving company sustainability goals.

In order to better its impact on the planet and lessen the effect on budgets, let’s take a look at the benefit of future-proof recycling and the steps Glasdon and their customers are taking to achieve it.

Changeable Waste Management Requirements

There can be several reasons for it, including changing staffing numbers or business requirements, but business waste requirements often change over time. Whether adding an additional stream, adapting a current one, or adapting the collection capacity, creating a successful and effective recycling programme can be tricky, but there are ways to make it easier.

Adaptable Multi-Stream Recycling Solutions

A multi-stream recycling bin utilises multiple compartments to create a flexible recycling solution suitable for all situations and adaptable to meet exact recycling requirements. Available with various moulded apertures – ranging from slot, open and round openings to flip lids – modular recycling bins offer unrivalled adaptability. Created with narrow footprints, the recycling bins maximise recycling potential while lessening the floor space requirement.

A popular example of a multi-compartment recycling bin is the Nexus® Evolution Quad Recycling Bin. With a 160-litre capacity, the recycling bin splits into four compartments to collect four separate streams in one tidy and flexible unit.

Utilising a bungee sack retention system and pivoting lid with stay, the Nexus Evolution Quad Recycling Bin allows easy and quick access for maintenance and emptying and is also available in

The Nexus® Stack Recycling Bin is a common choice for compact and flexible space-saving recycling solutions. Offering collection for up to six waste streams, the Nexus Stack maximises recycling potential and utilises varying aperture styles, colours, and waste graphics to accentuate the stream functions.

Designed with a square footprint and stackable properties, the recycling bins are highly durable and come with a polished, premium finish and ‘easy to clean’ surfaces.

Adaptable Apertures and Signage

Adaptable apertures and signage enable users to adapt and change their recycling bins to current or future needs. In many businesses, recycling needs differ over time, and to maintain a successful recycling programme, waste streams change to accommodate the business needs.

Glasdon acknowledges this, and the addition of Glasdon Spare Recycling Bin Apertures to the range of spares means many of their recycling bins are future proof. Allowing users to swap and change recycling bin apertures enables companies to create new streams and accommodate their waste requirements.

Available on the Nexus® 30 and Nexus® 100 ranges, the spare apertures come in a variety of colours and styles to suit any recycling need and create easily identifiable waste streams.

Spares and Accessories

It may last ten years or more, but eventually it’s inevitable that all products reach the end of their life cycle. But a lost key, damaged part or changing waste stream requirement shouldn’t have to lessen the life cycle of a product. At Glasdon, they future-proof their products by offering spares and accessories. By providing customers with the means to adapt, maintain and repair purchased products, the option for spares and accessories considers the planet by eliminating the need to source entirely new products and instead encouraging users to amend current recycling containers or repair products when possible.

Recyclability and Sustainability

As a market-leading manufacturer of recycling solutions and other products and a company driven by our passion for the environment, product recyclability is an important part of their design process. Driven by their desire to improve their environmental performance and integrate sustainable and ethical practices into Glasdon processes, most of their products are recyclable at the end of their service life. Through such, it not only seeks to close the loop between manufacturing and consumerism but contributes to the extension of material life cycles.

Alongside this, many Glasdon products also contain recycled material. Ranging from 15% to as much as 100%, the recycled material in Glasdon products varies depending on material type and colour.
