01 GENERAL 1.1 Introduction Alongside Huisman s core business of designing and manufacturing cranes, drilling equipment, pipe laying systems, and winches; Huisman also offers complete in-house solutions in vessel design to meet our client s requirements. The advantage of performing the vessel design in house is the ability to achieve a highly integrated and fully optimised vessel design. For example, the drilling equipment on a drillship forms the integral part of the vessel lay out. Design of this equipment is closely linked to the development of the vessel design. The vessel is virtually designed around the dedicated equipment. and local structural calculations. The inspection and repairs of the existing pontoon including new reinforcements and modifications, as well as the construction and assembly of the catamaran was performed by Huisman. The cranes were designed, built, and delivered by Huisman. In 1999, when the bridge construction project was finished, a major conversion of the Rambiz was performed by Huisman. The modifications included reduction of the vessels breadth, by shortening the cross-beam, and increasing the length. All design work was done by Huisman. The manufacturing was subcontracted to Damen Shipyard. The Huisman Naval Architectural Department is responsible for the concept and basic design of different types of vessels including drill ships, mobile offshore drilling units, crane barges, pipe laying vessels, construction vessels, and vessels for the wind turbine installation industry. 1.2 Development Historically, Huisman has always been involved to some extent in vessel designs in discussions and agreements between the vessel owner, ship yard, and the vessel design bureau concerning the incorporation and layout of its equipment into the vessel design. Over time Huisman developed considerable vessel design expertise, which resulted in establishing our own dedicated Naval Architectural Department. The following key projects played an important role in this development: 1995 - SHEERLEG RAMBIZ In 1995 Huisman designed a sheerleg catamaran dedicated for a bridge construction project in shallow water. The sheerleg was built from three existing pontoons. The design work included the full vessel design package approved by Lloyd s; extensive model testing and hydro-mechanical calculations subcontracted by Huisman to MARIN, the global 3

VESSEL ESIGNS 1995-1998 PRIDE AMETHYST 2 CLASS SEMI- SUBMERSIBLE RIGS In the period 1995-1998 Huisman took active part in the design of the Pride Amethyst 2 Class semi-submersible drilling rigs. Huisman performed all global strength calculations of the semi-submersible design and was responsible for model testing at MARIN and the evaluation of the tests. The semisubmersible has a unique vertical riser storage designed by Huisman. Three semi-submersible units were built and these units are already more than 12 years in service. 2005 - SAPURA3000 The conceptual lay out of the vessel was performed by Huisman. The basic design was subsequently performed by Sea of Solutions. Huisman took active part in the hydro-dynamic analysis of the ship, including the performance of model tests. The crane structural integration analysis and a number of verification calculations and studies, including the stability analysis, the longitudinal strength, and the midship section design were carried out by Huisman. The cranes, the stinger and the pipe laying equipment were designed, built, and delivered by Huisman. 2004-2009 JUMBO SHIPPING J1800 CLASS VESSELS As from the year 2004 Huisman delivered several 900mt mast cranes for the J1800 Class vessels of Jumbo Shipping. Besides the delivery of the 900mt Heavy Lifting Mast Cranes Huisman was also responsible for the structural design of the vessel structures forming the foundation of the cranes. The drawworks of the cranes were integrated as low as possible in the ship structure to optimize the layout and to improve the stability of the vessel. 4

2006 - BIG LIFT VESSEL Huisman delivered two 900mt mast cranes for a BigLift heavy lift transport vessel. The design and manufacturing of part of the vessels wing sections forming the crane foundation was performed by Huisman. This was done in close cooperation with the shipyard resulting in a highly optimized and fully integrated design. A detailed FEM analysis was performed which incorporated the crane loads, hydrostatic loads, the still water bending moment, loads from the main, auxiliary and tugger winches and the loads from the tween deck and main deck hatch covers. The main deck and tween decks inside the crane were designed to accommodate all equipment required for the crane to operate. Ventilation of the aft engine room has been incorporated in the mast of the aft crane. 2008 - HUISMAN DRILL SHIP HUISDRILL The year 2008 became a major milestone when Noble Drilling signed a contract with STX Shipyard for delivery of the Drill Ship Globetrotter I and with Huisman for delivery of the drilling equipment set for this vessel. The conceptual and basic design of the vessel was performed by Huisman. Great care was taken for highly optimised integration of the equipment into the vessel. This allowed developing a compact vessel with a payload and performance comparable to much larger drill ships. The design development included extensive R&D work and model testing, resulting in a vessel design with high DP performance and excellent seakeeping characteristics. The Globetrotter I was delivered in 2012. The second vessel Globetrotter II was delivered in 2013 also for Noble Drilling. 5

VESSEL ESIGNS 3.4 JBF Arctic The Huisman designed JBF Arctic allows operations at two operating drafts. The unique design combines the advantages of a conventional semi-submersible resulting in very low motions in waves and a heavily strengthened ice resistant unit when operating in ice at deep draft. The JBF Arctic drilling unit is designed to drill wells in arctic conditions, moored in ice infested waters with ice thickness up to approximately 2.0-3.0 meter. The unit consists of a round floater, eight columns and a round deckbox. When operating in ice the unit will ballast to ice draft (partly submerged deckbox) to protect the riser against level ice, rubble and ice ridges. The round conical shaped deckbox has a heavily strengthened structure at waterline level to deflect and break the ice. The round floater is also strengthened for transit through broken ice (icebreaker assisted). When no ice is present the unit operates at its operating draft as a conventional semi-submersible unit. Station keeping in ice infested waters is achieved by a twenty (20) point mooring system. The unit can operate in waterdepths between 60 and 1500m (200 and 5000ft). The JBF Arctic is designed for year round operations in the Arctic. Depending on ice conditions, ice breaker support can be required. In order to increase the efficiency and minimize the time required for drilling as much as possible, the unit is outfitted with double drilling systems. The two well construction centers have the same capacity, allowing various activities to be done at each well center. This allows for simultaneous operations and provides an extremely high level of redundancy. The complete drilling system is enclosed to provide an acceptable working environment. Because of the integrated design of the BOP handling system, the substructure is flush with the main deck of the vessel. Materials can therefore be handled in a safe way. The unit with its integrated drilling equipment is suitable for: Exploration and Production drilling operations Coiled tubing operations Installation of X-mas trees Well testing Completions 10

VESSEL ESIGNS 06 WIND TURBINE INSTALLATION VESSELS 6.1 Wind Turbine Shuttle To improve the efficiency of offshore wind turbine installation, Huisman developed the Wind Turbine Shuttle: a dynamically positioned, fast sailing (14 knots) SWATH - Small Water plane Area Twin Hull - type construction vessel which can carry and install two fully assembled wind turbines. By combining low vessel motions, compensating systems and an accurate dynamic positioning system, the wind turbine is kept virtually stationary in relation to the fixed foundation during installation. The vessel is especially dedicated to installing fully assembled wind turbines offshore. Delivery of fully assembled wind turbines to the installation site minimises the time and costs of construction works offshore. The vessel can also carry two large jackets or two large mono piles or combinations thereof. In case of jacket installation the wind turbines shuttle can carry the piles needed to secure the jacket to the seafloor. The vessel is able to simultaneously transport two complete wind turbines with a maximum mass of 1000mt each. This enables the vessel to install all current models of wind turbines and future models up to an approximate size of 8MW. The vessel can also carry and install two complete foundations (jacket type and mono piles) with a maximum weight of 2000mt each. As the wind turbines can be fully erected, commissioned and tested onshore, the offshore commissioning time is minimised, which means the wind turbines can be on-line and delivering power to the grid much sooner. The main capabilities of the new vessel are: Installing complete wind turbines; Installing complete foundations (jacket type); Installing complete foundations (mono piles); Pile driving; All year operation in The North Sea; High yearly performance with very limited down time. 18

Since the WTS can take only two wind turbines or two foundations the requirement for covering the distance between the shore base and the installation site in a short time is of major importance. At the same time good seakeeping performance is required for installation. A SWATH type vessel is chosen due to combination of excellent seakeeping characteristics and the high transit speed. Extensive research and model testing resulted in a highly optimized hull shape. The vessel is able to install wind turbines with a maximum significant wave height of 3.5m. This gives the unit a workability of at least 80% of the year in North Sea conditions in the open areas and up to 95% closer to the shore. By choosing the heading, the vessel will mainly endure (limited) heave, pitch and surge motions. Additionally the vessel is equipped with an active pitch and roll damping system to further reduce vessel motions. The vessel will be equipped with diesel generator sets capable of running on both MDO and LNG. If LNG bunker facilities are provided all operations of the Wind Turbine Shuttle can be performed using LNG fuel making the whole installation project even more environmentally friendly and cost effective. Huisman has used its 25 years of experience in the application of active heave compensation systems on cranes and other lifting devices for the design of the Wind Turbine Shuttle. The wind turbine is held in place by a hoist frame. This frame consists of two tables connected by a steel structure. Each table is equipped with an active controlled, horizontal movable, XY-clamp. The wind turbine hoist frame connected to the hoist tackle at the bottom table. A passive heave compensation system in the combination with active wire connection between the wind turbine and the foundation is applied for soft controlled lowering and landing of the wind turbine on the foundation. Once the wind turbine is lowered a quick connector is engaged firmly connecting the wind turbine with the foundation. From this point the Wind Turbine Shuttle can sail to the next installation site. The bolt connections can be safely made while the wind turbine is still secured by the quick connector. The quick connector will be picked up later. The vessel also provides an excellent platform for offshore construction works. The Wind Turbine Shuttle can be deployed for installation and removal of the top sides and foundations of existing oil platforms. The fact that the vessel is equipped with the highest level DP3 system means that the vessel can be also utilized in the oil industry.
