newsle t t e r of t he rin a g roup
RINA@WORK
RINA has launched a major ferry safety initiative. The Asset Integrity Management scheme
for ro-pax ferries covers fire risk mitigation, single-failure risk assessment, enhanced
planned maintenance and condition-based monitoring and also food and bacteriological
risk management; the initiative covers also specific training for ro-pax crews, including
behavioural training to avoid and manage crises.
Over 300 ferries in RINA class give RINA a lot of experience and feedback from vessels in
service. As the class of choice for these types of vessel RINA is showing a lead in safety
standards which go beyond regulatory basics.
RINA’s package of initiatives builds on its recent work with major cruise and ferry operators to
extend tailored risk management services to the marine industry.
Extending targeted risk-management to ro-pax operation will bring benefits for operators
in efficiency and will help operators to reduce specific and commonly agreed risk levels and
minimize the consequences in case an accident occurs on their vessels in operation. RINA will
lead a round table on ro-pax ferries with major operators, shipowners’ associations and the
Italian administration with the aim of developing an amendment to SOLAS to lift standards
for all ro-pax vessels and operations.
Specific parts of the ro-pax package are a fire risk identification and mitigation service, a
series of training courses for crews and shore staff which focus on teamwork and behaviour
in a crisis, and a service to identify and mitigate the risk of any single failure impacting the
ship and its operations severely. There is also a focus on condition-based monitoring and
enhanced and targeted planned maintenance and a bacteriological risk assessment and
mitigation service. All of the components are brought together under one Best Management
scheme.

Welcome to Nor-Shipping
Pino Spadafora
Area Manager of Northern
Europe - Continental Area
says:
2. Growing numbers of ships in service are being moved into RINA class by North European
owners seeking improved and more personal service. Eighty vessels totalling 400,000 GT
were moved to RINA class by owners in north Europe in 2014, and over thirty vessels have so
far been added this year.
The vessels are modern oil tankers, bulk carriers and ro-ro passenger vessels from leading
owners in Denmark, Germany, Finland, Norway, Poland, Sweden and the Netherlands. Dutch
owners have also placed five new building orders, for a semi-submersible and four supply
vessels, with RINA class, all of them to be built in the Netherlands.
Reasons given for the transfer of class from local bodies to RINA are usually that RINA is able
to give a more personal service which more closely identifies with the owner’s needs, plus
access to tailored services which improve efficiency.

Italy’s leading cruise ferry operator Moby S.p.A. and fast ferry operator Grandi Navi Veloci
have chosen RINA InfoSHIP EGO to manage fuel and energy use and emissions monitoring
for fast ro-pax vessels in their fleets. InfoSHIP EGO is part of the ship management
software suite developed in cooperation with IB Software & Consulting. InfoSHIP Ego has
a number of modules which collect data on board the ship automatically from navigation
and machinery automation systems. The data can then be analysed for trim optimization,
propulsion efficiency, voyage and fuel management, overall energy management and
decision management. As the software can be customized to the particular operator’s needs
it can easily be set up to provide all the data needed to meet the requirements of the EU
Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) scheme.

offshore operations, their shipyard
and managing Conquest Offshore, a
jointventurewhichoperatesaunique
1,400 tonne SWL crane barge.
“A lot of knowledge and experience
went into designing and building
Conquest MB1” says Michiel. “It is a
universal vessel with opportunities in
offshore construction, wreck removal
and offshore decommissioning.”
The crane barge is being upgraded
with a motion-compensated pile
gripper for wind turbine installation
and a 1,000 tonne hydraulic grab
which can lift large chunks of wrecks.
“There is a lot of capability in the
vessel”explains Michiel.
“We can deliver it at a sensible daily
rate because the vessel is built in
a modular way based on a proven
concept, so it is cost efficient. As each
job is different we have to ensure
the crane can operate in the local
dynamic environment and meet all
the rules. That is why we work with
RINA, they do the calculations quickly
and are willing to understand and
work with European and any local
requirements.”
