A Summery of sta s cs and studies carried out on behalf of or by Governments ‐ Mari me Organisa‐ons ‐ Classifica on Socie es and Ins tu ons including the Interna onal Mari me Organiza on (IMO)
and the European Mari me Safety Agency (EMSA), have shown that 51% of accidents involved bulk liquid and solid substances, while 47% involving packaged goods transported in containers, drums etcetera and 2% unknown.
Packaged goods do as well make up a substan al number of Hazardous and Noxious Substances (HNS) incidents.
At present the contracted stand‐by vessels, including governmental vessels, are in way of pollu on preparedness and response in European waters, only equipped to combat oil spills, unable to operate in or nearby a flammable/toxic atmosphere. The North Sea is one of the world’s busiest seas with approximately 260.000 ship movements a year and the fact that most HNS are commonly transported by sea, it’s obvious that due to their hazardous nature the risks associated with HNS transport is imaginable.

Sta s cs from the Interna onal Tanker Owners Pollu on Federa on Ltd (ITOPF) stated that spills are drama c reduced since 1970 due to the combined efforts of the oil/shipping industry and govern‐ments (largely through the IMO) improving safety and pollu on preven on.
Main causes of larger spills were between vessels running against another and collisions (30%) further due to groundings (33%) and other significant causes including hull failures and fire‐explosion.
The recent collision under Dutch coast between a Car carrier and a Container vessel should alert Op‐erators and Organisa ons concerning the imminent threat of such but HNS cargo involved.

Oil Spills do happen more frequently, vessels –pla orms and or pipelines where involved with minor to major oil spills.
From on the grounding of the oil tanker “Torrey Canyon” in the English Channel in 1967 world‐wide, States and private companies innovated, improved and manufactured oil spill and environmental response equipment un l today.
Dutch Companies invented and constructed already in 1970 an oil spill recovery system and assisted at first at the Paciffic Colocotronis incident (pictures below).
Recovery systems at todays marked do recover at major spills a substance mixture of approximately 70% water and 30 % spilled product.
In the brochure described “vacuum sea surface clean system” (VSSCS) enables an far more efficient recovery .
Incidents at sea do not always happened under calm weather condi ons, recovery circumstances with wave heights up to three meters and over nine meters of swell are not unthinkable. Under such condi ons the recovered, on board pumped substances from a today’s skimmer, or so called sweeping arm systems do mostly contain a large amount of water.
The fact is that un l present mechanical recovery at sea in a large‐scale disaster , the most effec ve way to recover oil at sea using today’s available recovery equipment, finally has only a marginal im‐pact on the total spilled amount.

In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill raged on with no end in sight. Surface oil recovery technology hadn’t advanced in 40 years, and, though the crisis was eventually contained, we know that it is not a ma er of if another spill will happen, but rather when.
For this, equipment producers and suppliers do con nue improve their own oil recovery equipment in a way of achieving be er results.
The in 2011 held US Wendy Smidt Oil Clean up X Challenge for example, counted more than 350 entry submissions from around the world with equipment ideas effec ve oil recovery systems concerned. Environmental protec on is an utmost important issue, but we should never forget that s ll today “people“ manned our vessels which do transport all thinkable oil and HNS cargoes.
Otopus intended opera on area
For us it is unacceptable that if due to which reason ever a vessel damaged disabled in a perilous situa on dri ing at sea surrounded in a toxic and or explosive atmosphere,
vessels crew cannot be rescued, because there isn't a vessel available, suitable equipped with today’s technologies for rescue and refuge opera ons .

The brainstorming day was much appreciated by those present, even this not directly led to a joint project but many cases are discussed in an open atmosphere. It’s obvious that in fact the for Swedish coast guard by Damen built Chemical Response vessel, the “KBV003” is currently the “best” what's on the market.
In the public sector ( RWS ‐ Ministry of infrastructure and the environment ) was a clear reluctance regarding the development or/need for a special chemicals control vessel , taken into account lack of Finance (other priori es) and because each accident involving chemicals is different and do need a special approach.
Mutual was agreed in developing “Chemical Spill Response Manual” with students of NHL (University of Applied Sciences Leeuwarden). October 26 ‐ 2011 the first manual edi on was presented during a symposium held at NHL Leeuwar‐den. MCR‐Shipping B.V.’s involvement for wri ng two chapters; Chapter8 “Personal Protec on above and under water” and chapter12 “Rules and Regula ons regarding response vessels” was highlighted as being essen al for making of this manual.
2011 1985 2014
December 2011 NHL ‐ University Of Applied Sciences made this manual worldwide available on line as Wikipedia: h p://www.spillresponse.nl/index.php/Main_Page
Ship managers and Masters should be informed about the availability of this 2011 and 2014 publica ons.
PARTICIPANTS CONCLUSION IN BRIEF
7
The ques on is not “IF” there will be a major disaster in North Sea involving chemical/oil spill, but “WHEN”. The necessity of an advanced MPP Response Vessel to respond and act in such a situa on is clear for all par es involved in developing this project.
MCR Shipping understands that the investments involved are significant and can lead by Governmen‐tal decision makers to objec ons, which could lead to the fact that the live‐saving and huge environ‐mental benefits of having a Mul ‐Purpose Response Vessel stand‐by would be subordinate to the fi‐nancial aspect. That is why the unique combina on of commercial exploita on combined with the social interest, this project is presentable as a responsible investment for the Dutch Government, Eu‐ropean organiza ons such as EMSA, Major Oil Companies and Owners/Operators of Offshore Pla orms in the Noth Sea (DSM /Petroland / Total France / Exxon / Mobile Leatherhead UK / BP‐UK / Shell UK / Stateoil / Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij (NAM‐Shell) / Statoil Norway and others ).
Some of the unique benefits of this project are:
Live saving and Environmental impact protec on;
Training and Research capabili es;
Durability;
Sustainability;
Opera onal/Stand‐by cost saving.
MCR‐Shipping B.V. is fully commi ed in sharing knowledge and work together with all par es in‐volved for improving human health and safety at Sea whilst protec ng the environment.
We do believe in the feasibility and applicability of this MPP Response vessel described in the follow‐ing and the use of innova ve technologies (such as our vacuum sea surface clean Combat System (VSSCS) © and an enhanced Oily Water Separa on System).

(THIS IS NOT A BUILDING SPECIFICATION)
The MCR‐001 (renamed “OCTOPUS) is the world’s first Mul purpose emergency response IMO1 type vessel designed to operate on the North Sea (European Waters and World wide). The vessel can per‐form rescue and chemical recovery opera ons without any restric ons, in an explosive or hazardous environment. She is equipped for performing mul ple roles including detec on of sunken vessels or containers and performing environmental friendly salvage opera ons. A DP 3 control system provides automa c heading and posi oning. To improve the stability during periodic roll movements induced by waves a stabiliza on tank and an ac ve an ‐roll system is installed. To make the vessel more cost effec ve she can perform commercial ac vi es as a tanker or as an offshore support vessel.
The vessel is fully equipped for long‐term opera on at sea and at any me available to meet the Dutch coastguard demanded response me of 30 hours for reaching the emergency. Mari me aware‐ness, along with safety, was paramount in the design process.
The design principle of a Type 1 Ship for the carriage of IBC chapter 17 products, which do have severe environmental and safety hazards, requires the maximum of preventa ve measures to stop an escape of the cargo and to guard against poten al release caused by collision or grounding.

Vessels main propulsion will be a diesel electric propulsion systems comprised of eight main diesel driven generator sets combined with a Hybrid propulsion system consis ng a large ba ery pack for energy storage to be used as part of vessel’s propulsion energy The opera on of the Generator engines sets will be effec vely smooth and cost effec ve, resulted in a significant emission reduc on.
Intended main propulsion for the vessel is provided by three Azimuth main propel‐lers . Addi onal manoeuvring system comprises two Azimuth forward Thrusters, and a tunnel Thruster a . An extremely fast and precise propeller control system allows the “Octopus” to be kept safely and accurately on posi on ensured by vessels dynamic posi oning sys‐tem (DP3).
Future international regulations regarding sulphur emissions from ships imply that low sulphur fuel should be used in the future. See ECA directives 2015‐2018 to 2020 and Marpol Annex VI regulation concerning new engines in 2016 the so called Tier III. For this a decision must be made if generator sets drive diesels are to run on Marine Gas Oil (MGO) including the use of an cooling system or LNG.
All depends on research outcome which clear sets the lowest emission standards, 20/30% reduction in fuel consumption can be achieved by this today’s technology.

As Oil‐Chemical Tanker, the Vessel complies to MARPOL 73/78, ANNEX II; which clear defines which water / products contents are by interna onal rules and under which circumstances indeed allowed to be discharged into Sea.
As this vessel has a large storage tank capacity with sufficient heat capacity, which results, if applica‐ble, reducing oil / water separa on reten on me and do increase separa on results accordingly, a high capacity Oil Water Separator will be installed.
For example a (U.K.) OWS type max. capacity / per unit 5 m³ /hr or; MCR‐Shipping B.V.’s Water Separa on System (S ll under research‐ test phase). Recently MCR‐Shipping B.V. received from a private source informa on concerning an Oily Water Separator concept with a dual filter system enable of con nuous trea ng of oily water mixture to less than 2ppm as per apparatus concept design. Consul ng former colleagues having knowledge about working principles of oily water separa on we studied the forwarded informa on as such and so far believe that this OWS achieves sufficient sepa‐ra on without the combina on of an for example last step plate or gravity separator. This high capacity unit (up to 450m³/hr) can be constructed with small dimensions. As the OWS has no mechanical moving parts, maintenance of the unit is minimal.
The MCR OWS layout and working principle together with the in chapter 14 described vacuum sea surface clean system (VSSCS) was forwarded to the Dutch Patent Agency for inves ga on. As per Agencies received inves ga on results and our ongoing research, our conclusion is that at pre‐sent no other available system compares to our described systems.
