DEME has completed the first stage of inter-array cable installation at the Dogger Bank A wind farm in the UK. We are responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation of 900 km of inter-array cables for the entire 3.6 GW Dogger Bank wind farm, which is being developed in phases (A, B & C). This milestone marks the first assignment for our DP3 cable installation vessel, ‘Viking Neptun’, featuring cutting-edge technology for increased efficiency and reduced emissions. Our cable installation vessel 'Living Stone' finalised burial works. ‘Viking Neptun’ will soon return to the UK for the installation of inter-array cables at Dogger Bank B. 👉 More information: https://lnkd.in/dJDH7sCG #offshorewind #doggerbank #cableinstallation #vikingneptun #livingstone SSE Renewables Equinor Vårgrønn

Here's Smart Maritime Network's assessment of our recent AMS study on the #IMO's Carbon Intensity Indicator (#CII): "Royal Belgian Shipowners’ Association study highlights impact of CII variables" https://lnkd.in/dZt7MYUg International Maritime Organization International Chamber of Shipping #shipping #maritime

KBRV-AMS study on IMO's  Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) reviewed in Bunkerspot by Ian Taylor: https://lnkd.in/g3Ciiw3B International Maritime Organization International Chamber of Shipping

📰 New study shows real world complexities and shortcomings of the International Maritime Organization's #Carbon Intensity Indicator (#CII) formula In a collaboration with four master’s students from the Antwerp Management School (AMS), the Royal Belgian Shipowners' Association (KBRV) released a study that investigates issues with the CII formula. As part of their thesis project, the research conducted by the students included a comprehensive literature review, a qualitative analysis, and a quantitative analysis using data from Belgian-controlled ships. 📢 Key findings from the study Both literature review and qualitative analysis identified three variables with the most adverse impact on CII ratings: ·       Waiting Time: Time spent idling or waiting in ports or awaiting orders. ·       Number of Ports of Call: The frequency with which a ship docks at different ports. ·       Distance Travelled: The total nautical miles covered by the vessel. The quantitative analysis confirmed the significant impact of these variables. ⚡ However, a deeper dive into different shipping segments revealed a complex interplay of factors affecting CII ratings, making it difficult to pinpoint the main adverse variables universally. 👍 Recommendations of the study These findings underscore the multifaceted nature of CII ratings. If the #IMO aims to maintain the CII as a meaningful measure to incentivise shipping's decarbonisation, a thorough review of the formula is necessary, taking into account the various factors beyond the control of both shipowners and charterers that influence the CII ratings. At a higher level, the scope and goal of the CII within the basket of measures needs to be reassessed as well. The KBRV thanks the four students of the AMS - Algie Donado, An-Sofie Dieltiens, Daniel Ortega Villalobos and SeungMyeong (Brian) Yang - for their work, and Professor Christa Sys for the supervision of the study. 🗃 Click here to download a copy of the study "Evaluating the Carbon Intensity Indicator: Challenges and Recommendations for Improvements": https://lnkd.in/edaCtFwt
