Dear Reader

In 2018 we’ve seen the overall inland shipping industry grow at a steady pace, driven by a recovered economy. Market lead times for new vessels are rising and quality levels are under pressure. At the same time we see market dynamics influenced by trends of globalization, urbanization, increasing strict emissions regulations, and digitization. With our customers we leverage the opportunities resulting from these trends and dynamics. As a shipyard independent company we have been able to expand our partner shipyard network while maintaining our high quality standard. We are collaborating, in addition to our home-based and eastern Europe based yards, with Chinese yards to push back delivery times and building cost. With our own dedicated people on the ground locally we ensure best in class quality control and project management. On the other hand our in-house design team has been heavily focusing on the drawing table developing new models to anticipate changing market requirements and adhere to ADN regulations and Stage V engine requirements. 2018 was also a year of exceptional low tides. This has led to the development of the low water runner (ie MoneyMaker 2.0 and MoneyMaker 3.0), an extended ship with a bigger floating surface thus allowing to sail lower tides. By investing time in ship design ahead of the market we deliver our clients minimum design time while guaranteeing future-proof designs. That is how we ensure minimal lead times and optimum quality. It is our renown RensenDriessen Standard. Delivered from our smart engineering to post-delivery support to our trading-in service. Every step along the way. All services under one roof brought to you by our dedicated and experienced team. And as we are approaching two corner stones in our history – our 1,000th launch is coming up later this year and our 40-year anniversary next year – I can safely say we are at the same time ensuring our team is future-proof with a new generation entering our board. I’m proud to announce Edwin Diepeveen has become a partner at RensenDriessen.

The newest of our 980 launches to date are in this book. I hope you enjoy reading it.

I wish you a prosperous business.

With the warmest wishes, on behalf of our entire team.

SHIP DESIGN Never settle. Never compromise. That has been our design motto ever since our beginnings in 1980. Our designers are constantly tweaking and experimenting until we can confidently claim our ship designs do what they are supposed to do: help you bring out the best of your ship. Because at RensenDriessen, it’s all about you. The science of ship design starts with the art of the conversation. We’ll be listening closely, talking, and interpreting your exact needs, helping you imagine what an excellent ship would look like for your particular business. We’re here to meet and exceed your expectations on quality, delivery times, design, maintenance cost, and resale value. Every part of the design and development is supervised under one roof for optimal quality control. Our in-house design team has the extensive skills, expertise, and experience to translate your design requirements into a tailor-made vessel design, up until the very last detail. And if an existing design fits your purpose, we’re your partner too. The spirit of innovation drives every action at RensenDriessen. A continuous effort at developing cutting-edge technologies and design solutions allows us to create a positive customer experience and improve efficiencies. And that ultimately leads to value creation.

Sustainable value creation

Currently we are focusing a lot of effort on realistic applications of sustainable solutions. There is a lot talk about sustainability in itself and it is our firm believe there is only future for sustainable value creation, as sustainability and value creation need to go hand in hand in order to be future proof. That is why we integrate Clean Ship Design only in such ways it leads to value creation. We do this across the entire spectrum of design, including vessel design, materials used, propulsion installation, and other installations such as the recycling of waste heat. The Stage V motor development is a great example of sustainable value creation. Through our short lines of communication with the 3 biggest engine manufacturers we are capable to advice timely on the latest developments regarding stage V. For each design we will set out the best suited engine foundation.

SHIPBUILDING Once the construction drawing is signed off and the design has been approved, we will select a shipyard based on quality, availability and lead times and overall match with our design. As a shipyard-independent company, we maintain close partnerships with several shipyards at home and abroad. This enables us to find the best fit for your specific ship design and needs, while guaranteeing RensenDriessen quality.

Our building surveyors will fully manage the operation on your behalf, from start to finish. This ensures project progress and timely supply deliveries and inspections. After the hull build is completed and inspected, the hull will be transported to The Netherlands. Optionally, we offer you our turn-key delivery. Together with you, we select one of our reputable completion-build yards. We are here to meet and exceed your needs. We call it our RensenDriessen Standard. In short, this means you can leave any worrying up to us. We guarantee you the quality and lead time of your vessel. No matter what. No matter when.

Some time ago there was renewed demand for new, high-quality bitumen tankers. Together with V-Chartering, Rommerts Ship Design, TeamCo and EPS we developed a new model type-C bitumen tanker. Our design is for a triple-hull ship that can transport products up to 250 degrees Celsius. EPS has developed customized pumps for both ships and installed them on board. The first ship – the Bitumina – is already sailing with Bitumina Shipping SA. The ship is chartered by V-Chartering Antwerp. Its sister ship “Bitumina 2” will start sailing as soon as it is ready in early 2019.

MTS FLORIAN: ER VALT NIETS MEER AAN TE VERBETEREN…

MTD Maritime Services & Port Reception Facility is in Antwerpen geautoriseerd als ‘haven ontvangst installatie‘ * . We vinden de onderneming aan de strategisch gelegen kaai 373 langs de Scheldelaan in Antwerpen. MTD Maritime Services verzamelt het afval binnen de range Antwerpen-Zeebrugge. Via grote installaties wordt daarna door MTD Port Reception Facility het afval verwerkt en/ of verder gesepareerd voor hergebruik. Op de locatie zijn tevens faciliteiten voor ontgassen, stoomlevering en cleaning.

* Via een rapportage van de tijdens hun reis verzamelde afvalstoffen moeten zeegaande schepen bij aankomst in de bestemmingshaven bij de autoriteiten aangeven welke afvalstoffen er van boord moeten. Na melding en vastlegging mag het afval uitsluitend worden afgevoerd naar een toegelaten ‘haven ontvangst installatie‘. Het gaat zowel om vaste als vloeibare stoffen en ook van rest lading. Snel gezegd -en zeker niet volledig- gaat het bij vaste stoffen om voedsel-afval, plastic, lompen en papier. Onder vloeibare stoffen wordt ondermeer verstaan olie en oliehoudende residuen en sanitair afval.

38

Het is ook de plek waar we voor ons interview aanschuiven aan het bureau van Jeroen Vermeij (33). Hij woont in Wemeldinge en stapte daar al van kindsbeen af aan boord van de droge lading- en tankschepen van zijn grootvader en vader. Vader heeft nu vijf schepen varen die sinds 2010 de inzameling voor MTD Maritime Services verzorgen. Tijdens ons gesprek blijkt dat Vermeij een brede en diepgewortelde technische ondergrond heeft en zijn honger naar nieuwe technieken is nooit te stillen. Als operation manager heeft Jeroen Vermeij binnen de verschillende disciplines van MTD veel taken waarbij het beheersen van techniek naast stressbestendigheid een absoluut vereiste is. Veiligheid staat bij hem voorop en niemand krijgt ruimte om daar aan te tornen. Vermeij beheert voor MTD B.V. vanuit Wemeldinge ook nog schepen die ingezet worden voor de inzameling. Begin vorig jaar was het tijdstip aangebroken om te gaan werken aan de geagendeerde plannen om enkelwandige schepen te gaan vervangen door nieuwbouw. Vermeij wist precies hoe het eerste nieuwbouwschip er zou moeten uitzien en waarmee het moest worden uitgerust. Met die concrete plannen deed hij een eerste verkenning in het land om te zien wat er zoal werd aangeboden. ‘ Het matchte nergens met mijn wensen en toen kwam ik al snel uit bij Wim Driessen van Rensen-Driessen Shipbuilding B.V. ‘ zegt Jeroen. Zeven jaar terug ontmoetten ze elkaar voor het eerst en daarna is het contact op vriendschappelijke wijze steeds verder uitgebreid. Daarbij kwam de laatste jaren het onderwerp nieuwbouw meer dan eens aan de orde maar Vermeij was er toen nog niet aan toe. ‘ Ik heb Driessen toen wel gezegd dat wanneer mijn plannen voor nieuwbouw vaste vorm zouden aannemen ik bij hem aan de deur zou staan ‘.

Het was de wens van Vermeij dat hij een volledig dubbel leidingsysteem zou krijgen. ‘ Gelet op het specifieke werk dat het schip binnen een korte actie-radius moet doen weten we dat het schip daarbij nooit ‘vol’ zal varen. Daarom hebben we besloten om de stabiliteit te maximeren door bij tank één en tank vijf een middenschot te a2bb+2sb+3center dus zeven tanks ‘ zegt Vermeij. Hij had ook nog een specifieke wens voor de plaatsing van extreem grote filterbakken aan dek die voorzien zijn van bijzonder zware deksels zodat ze een grote druk kunnen verdragen. ‘Of dat echt nodig is ?’ Als je ziet wat we er uit halen is dat zeker nodig. Laatst vonden we in het filter een kompleet ketelpak ‘ horen we. Verder werd de plaatsing bedongen van een zware autokraan van 2,5 ton van Van Wijk met een maximum zwaai van 12 tot 18 meter. Alle zaken stonden later keurig verwoord in het contract voor de volledige turnkey levering van een nieuwbouw slobtanker van 84,70 x 9,50 x 4,68 m. meter en werden bekrachtigd met de handtekening van MTD B.V. en die van Wim Driessen. Daarmee werd de eerste stap voor de vlootvernieuwing van het Wemeldingse MTD B.V. een feit. Overigens is het schip met enkele minimale veranderingen inzetbaar als bunkerschip. De autokraan aan dek moet dan worden vervangen door een bunkergiek waarvoor de fundatie reeds in de bouw is opgenomen. Tijdens de bouw is Vermeij meerdere malen op de werf in Orsova geweest. ‘ Het loopt heerlijk daar in Roemenië ‘ zegt hij. En omdat Jeroen een overtuigd volger is van de leefregel ‘ doe maar gewoon ‘ kon hij het prima vinden met de mensen op de werf. Hij was onder de indruk van de kwaliteit die daar werd geleverd. ‘ Écht heel goed gebouwd en écht heel mooi afgewerkt ‘. Mooie complimenten van iemand die alles van techniek weet en nooit kan nalaten ergens achter of onder te kijken. Samen met MTD oprichter Roger van Triest en Wim Driessen beleefde hij op de werf

in Orsova het onvergetelijk moment dat het mts Florian voor het eerst water onder de kiel kreeg. Florian is eveneens de naam van zijn zoon en ook die van de kleinzoon van Rogier van Triest. Bij volledige verrassing gaf MTD B.V daarna ‘ tussen pot en pint ‘ bij Wim Driessen aan dat het zijn wens was om meteen een zusterschip te bestellen. Een betere manier om de vertrouwensbasis te beklinken bestond er op dat moment niet. Over de periode van afbouw bij Dolderman horen we eveneens goede geluiden. Daar was Vermeij regelmatig met opgestroopte mouwen aan het werk en had daar in goed overleg alle inbreng. En ja, natuurlijk komt er wel eens een probleem naar boven. Zo’n hobbel met Wim Driessen bespreken duurt nooit lang en dat geldt ook voor de oplossing. Altijd alles in goed overleg en beiden af en toe een beetje water bij de wijn en zonder ergens een vergrootglas op te leggen. De proefvaart ging fantastisch. We liepen met 1100 ton 21 km/u. Op het moment van ons interview vaart het schip al meer dan een half jaar volledig naar wens. ‘ Ik zou niet weten wat we er anders aan hadden moeten bouwen, er valt niets meer aan te verbeteren ‘ horen we. En met die kwalificatie wordt binnenkort het zusterschip mts Elliot verwacht. Zelfs de naamgeving is wederom afgeleid van een kleinzoon van Roger van Triest en die van een collega bij MTD in Antwerpen. Er is slechts één wijziging: de tweede nieuwbouw heeft een enkel leidingsysteem.

tekst: Hans Heiligers

‘ Die belofte heb ik volledig ingelost ‘ vervolgt Vermeij. Daarna volgden een aantal besprekingen.

ENGLISH

MTS FLORIAN: THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO IMPROVE…

MTD Maritime Services & Port Reception Facility in Antwerp is an authorised ‘port reception facility’ * . The company is strategically located at quay 373 along the Scheldelaan in Antwerp. MTD Maritime Services collects the waste in the Antwerp to Zeebrugge area; MTD Port Reception Facility then processes and/or further separates the waste for recycling via large installations. There are also facilities for degassing, steam supply and cleaning at the site.

* On arrival at their port of destination, seagoing vessels must inform the authorities by report of the waste materials they have on board that were accumulated during their voyage. After reporting and documentation, the waste may only be disposed of at an authorised ‘port reception facility’. This applies both to solid matter and liquid substances as well as to residual load. In short – and this is by no means complete – for solid matter it means food-waste, plastic, rags and paper. Liquid substances include oil and oil-bearing residues and latrine waste.

It is also the place where we waited for our interview at the office of Jeroen Vermeij (33). He lives in Wemeldinge and has been hopping on board his grandfather’s and father’s dry cargo and tanker ships since childhood. His father now has five ships in operation which have been handling the collection for MTD Maritime Services since 2010. During our conversation it became apparent that Vermeij had a broad, deeply-rooted technical background and that his hunger for new technology is never satisfied. As operations manager, Jeroen Vermeij has many tasks in the various disciplines at MTD in which mastery of technology in addition to coping with stress is an absolute necessity. Safety is his highest concern and there is no room for anyone to question that. From Wemeldinge Vermeij also manages vessels deployed for the collection for MTD B.V. The beginning of last year was an opportune time to begin working on the warehoused plans to replace single-hulled ships with new constructions. Vermeij knew exactly how the first newly built ship should look and what it needed to be equipped with. Having these concrete plans in mind, he did a preliminary investigation in country to see what kind of thing was available. “Nothing matched my requirements, but then I quickly came round to Wim Driessen at Rensen- Driessen Shipbuilding B.V.,” Jeroen relates. They had initially met each other seven years earlier and since then the contact continued to develop in a friendly way. The topic of new construction also came up more than once in the last years, but Vermeij was not yet ready then. “I did tell Driessen at that time that when my plans for new construction took solid shape I would be at his door.” “I have completely fulfilled that promise,” Vermeij continues. A number of discussions followed. Vermeij’s wish was to get a fully duplicate pipe system. “Considering the specific work that the

ship would have to do within a small range of action, we knew that it never be under full sail in doing so. We therefore decided to maximise stability by having a centre bulkhead placed between tank one and tank five. Thus on balance, with those 2ps+2ss+3 centre we have seven tanks,” says Vermeij. He also had a specific requirement for the placement of extremely large filter tanks on deck, which would be equipped with unusually heavy covers so they could bear a great amount of pressure. “Is that really necessary?” “If you saw what we take out of there, you would know that it certainly is necessary. We recently found a complete boiler suit,” we hear. Furthermore, the installation of a 2.5 tonne heavy-duty Van Wijk self-propelled crane with a maximum swing of 12 to 18 metres was stipulated. Later, all items were neatly specified in the contract for the complete turnkey delivery of a newly constructed 84,70 x 9,50 x 4,68 metre slops tanker and approved by the signatures of MTD B.V. and Wim Driessen. With that, the first step towards the fleet renewal for the MTD B.V. in Wemeldinge was complete. Furthermore, with a few minor adjustments the ship can be deployed as a bunkering vessel. In that case, the self- propelled crane on deck has to be replaced with a boom crutch, the foundation for which is already included in the construction. Vermeij visited the shipyard in Orsova several times during construction. “It’s going great in Romania,” he reports. And since Jeroen is a dedicated follower of the precept ‘just act normal’, he got along fine with the people at the shipyard. He was impressed with the quality they provided. “Really very well built and really beautifully finished.” Nice compliments from someone who knows everything about technology and can never omit anything or overlook something. Together with MTD founder Roger van Triest and Wim Driessen, he experienced the unforgettable moment at the shipyard in Orsova

when the MTS Florian had water under the keel for the first time. Florian is also his son’s name and that of Roger van Triest’s grandson. It was a complete surprise that, while having a chat with Wim Driessen, MTD B.V. then mentioned that it was their wish to immediately order a sister ship. What better way could there be to cinch the basis of trust at that moment? What we heard during the finishing stage at Dolderman was also good. Vermeij was there regularly, at work with his sleeves rolled up and with all input there in proper consultation. And yes, naturally, occasional problems came up. Discussions with Wim Driessen on obstacles like that never last long, and that applies to finding the solutions as well. Everything always in mutual consultation and sometimes pouring a little oil on the water and without getting into great detail. The sea trials were fantastic: we sailed 21 km/hour with 1100 tonnes. At the time of our interview the ship had been sailing entirely satisfactorily for more than half a year. “I don’t know what else we could have added, there is nothing more to improve,” we hear. And with that qualification, the sister ship MTS Elliot is expected shortly. Even the naming was once again derived from the name of one of Roger van Triest’s grandsons and that of an MTD colleague in Antwerp. There is just one change: the second new ship has a single pipe system.
