SeaTec Lead The Way With Fuel Oil Conversaions
New regulations, especially environmental rules, implemented during a vessel's trading life dictate
that retrofit and upgrading works need to be undertaken. The recently enacted rules to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions are one such challenge recently addressed by SeaTec.
On the 1st January 2010, new European legislation* came into force, that requires all vessels
berthing in a European Union port for more than two hours to burn marine gas oil with a sulphur
content of less than 0.1% in their auxiliary boilers. Failing to meet this legal requirement means
that heavy fines can be imposed by the individual member state.
Many auxiliary boiler manufacturers can retrofit existing installations with new burners and modify
boiler control panels for low sulphur marine gas oil operation. However, this can very often be the
extent of their involvement, and the additional modifications required for the rest of the fuel oil
system, are no less important and must be considered.
To be compliant with this European legislation, SeaTec can offer the full range of necessary services to
convert fuel oil systems to operate on Low Sulphur Marine Gas Oil. SeaTec has been active in this field well
in advance of the introduction of this legislation and, with by deploying experienced engineers, can apply a
practical solution that will meet with the requirements of the classification societies and at the same time
minimise disruption and conversion costs.

SeaTec Help BAE SYSTEMS With The Design Of The Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carrier
At the end of September 2009 SeaTec were awarded a contract to undertake
3D computer modeling of the Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers.
The modeling process involves BAE Systems sites around the U.K.
developing detailed 3D computer models of large blocks of the vessel, based
on design information from the primary designers.
When BAE Systems required further resources to enable the Govan team to
complete the modeling process, SeaTec were able to step in, join the team
and work to provide an engineering resource solution to suit the
programme.. In a very short period of time, the SeaTec team has grown to
37 Foran trained 3D computer modelers, and at the end of January, the team achieved a major design
review milestone allowing SeaTec to prepare the model for outputs and production.
The last model review took place in early May and success was again achieved with the reviewers noting
that SeaTec had achieved their targets at an impressive rate. The team is now in the last phase of the
project and is expected to continue until July/August 2010.
Naming Ceremony Held On WG Tasman
SeaTec site team members witnessed a key milestone on Western Geco's
newbuilding programme with the official naming of the WG Tasman. The naming
ceremony for the first of the two vessel under construction at Drydock World-Dubai
was held on 24th March 2010.
Trials On WG Tasman Seismic Survey Vessel

SeaTec is pleased to announce the successful completion of builder's sea
trials on the WG Tasman, a seismic survey vessel, which is completing
construction at Dry-dock World, Dubai. SeaTec are providing site
supervision services to Western Geco and the Sea Trials took place during
February 2010.
Cara Shipping 177,000 DWT Capesize Bulk Carrier Steel Cutting

In Q1 2010, Cara Shipping awarded SeaTec the contract of site
supervision for 2 x Capesize Bulk Carriers (177,000 DWT). Steel
cutting for the first Hull (H1181) took place on 22nd February
2010.
The ships will be built in Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd, which
is located in Shanghai and claimed to be one of the best
shipyards in China.
Full site supervision will be undertaken by SeaTec site team, with
project management taking place in SeaTec Shanghai and
additional support supplied by SeaTec Glasgow.
Keel Lay Of Accommodation/Crane Barge J626
In Q4 2009, Franklin Offshore International awarded SeaTec the
contract of project management and site supervision for 1 x
120m Accommodation/Crane Barge. The keel lay took place on
28th December 2009.
The ships will be built in Jiaolong Heavy Industry Development
Co., Ltd. which is located in the Nantong city, Jiangsu Province of
China.
Cara Shipping 180,000 DWT Capesize Bulk Carrier Steel Cutting
In Q4 2009, Cara Shipping awarded SeaTec the contract of site
supervision for 2+2 x Capesize Bulk Carriers (180,000 DWT).
Steel cutting for the first Hull (BC1800-34) took place on 25th
November 2009.
The ships will be built in Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd,
which is located in the Northern part of China and claimed to be
one of the best shipyards in China.
Another Launch For SeaTec
SeaTec is pleased to announce the successful launch and
delivery of CF ZACHARY, a 16,500 DWT product oil / chemical
tanker on 25th of May 2009.
Cofferdam Set Up
This photographs show UMC setting up the biggest cofferdam system
they have ever been involved. The cofferdam will allow repair to the leg
wells and ultimately install the three legs of a jack up rig in Oman, which
was damaged during Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico, in 2005.

SeaTec developed the detail design of the cofferdam from the outline
design required by UMC, the finished product coming in at just over 100
metric tonnes with an overall diameter larger than 18 meters.
So far the cofferdam construction and testing has been completed,
including thespecial seal system that will ultimately allow the cofferdam
to be drained down and result in a massive maximum buoyancy upthrust
of 1500 tonnes on the structure. The challenge was to create a dry working environment around the giant
support feet (known as spudcans) of a jack up oil rig so that repairs could be undertaken on the top
surfaces of each foot whilst the unit was afloat. The cofferdam system will completely enclose each of the
spudcans in turn and seal against the underside of the rig hull, and when in position the area aroundthe
spudcan can be drained down thus allowing surface workers to carry out the necessary repairs. This inwater repair system providesa cost-effective and practical alternative to docking.
More Launches For SeaTec

SeaTec is pleased to announce the successful launch and delivery of two gas carriers and one Aframax
tanker, with delivery of another Aframax tanker scheduled for early December 2008.
These new vessels, built for the Arab Maritime Petroleum
Transport Company (AMPTC), are the result of great team work
between SeaTec and AMPTC. The project started in April 2006
with SeaTec advising on specifications for the two gas carriers.
Following on from this stage, plan approval took place during the
summer/autumn of 2007 with steel cutting for the first (GAS
ALKHALEEJ) commencing on 6th August 2007 and delivery on 3rd
September 2008. The second gas carrier (OCEAN GAS) was
delivered 24th October 2008, about three weeks ahead of
schedule.
Steel cutting for the first Aframax tanker (ALBURAQ) took place
on 17th December 2007 with delivery on 6th October 2008. This will be followed by delivery of the second
Aframax tanker (SEA LEGEND) on 6th December.
The gas tankers were built at Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries in Mokpo in southwest Korea. Both were
equipped with a Hamworthy gas plant which enables the carriage of propane, butadiene, butane, butylene
and propylene in independent tanks.
The Aframax tankers are designed to carry crude oil and petroleum products and were built in Hyundai
Heavy Industries in Ulsan in eastern Korea.
Both sites were managed by SeaTec site staff with project management taking place in SeaTec Glasgow.
Back up support was provided by SeaTec Shanghai whenever a quick management response was required
by the owners on site.
SeaTec Repair Services Win Exclusive Global Tank Coating Contract
SeaTec Repair Services have been awarded an exclusive worldwide
contract by the Cleveland, Ohio-based chemical tanker coatings specialist
Advanced Polymer Coatings (APC).
The contract is for the application and heat-curing of APCs innovative
MarineLINE Tank Coating Systems for chemical carriers. The contract
covers both new building and recoating projects.
The key deciding factors were our knowledge and experience in the new building and repair markets,
flexible workforce, commitment to training for the application of the MarineLINE products and local
management support for the application teams worldwide, all linked with ISO 9000 quality system
approval by Lloyds Register Quality Assurance, advises SeaTec Repair Services Director Adriana Caba.
The MarineLINE coating system requires a high standard of surface preparation, temperature and humidity
control and final heat curing, which in many cases shipyards cannot achieve with present techniques and
