M/S SELANDIA World’s first ocean-going diesel motor ship celebrates her centenary.

The M/S Selandia is the world's first large diesel-powered ship, built by B&W (now MAN Diesel & Turbo) and ordered by the East Asiatic Company (EAC).

The M/S Selandia was assigned to EAC in 1912.

Until then, coal-burning steam ships had been used. The M/S Selandia was a revolution to the international shipping industry with an invention nobody believed was possible then: the Danish-developed diesel engine.

The transition to diesel was an indication of a major step forward both technologically, environmentally, operationally and in particular economically.

The M/S Selandia triggered a new epoch by opening an export corridor to the Far East and initiating the Danish line service tradition.

Building the M/S SELANDIA

L - R: Martin Dessau, H.N. Andersen, Lord Pirrie, Ivar Knudsen and I.L. Amundsen at the Shipyard.

The M/S SELANDIA had a revolutionary engine and an extraordinary appearance. For that time, the most remarkable feature was that the ship had no funnel. The M/S SELANDIA was built at the B&W shipyard, Refshaleen, in Copenhagen. As the first of B&W's then 276 ships, this ship had no funnel. The small amount of smoke was led through a channel in the mast. The founder of The East Asiatic Company (EAC), H.N. Andersen had, in 1910, ordered two ocean-going motor ships from B&W and yet another sister ship to be built in Scotland. The M/S SELANDIA was launched in November 1911, and had successful trial trips in 1912. The ship was easy to navigate and managed the frozen sea perfectly. At the same time, the speed was higher and the fuel consumption lower than expected. On February 9, 1912, the ship was assigned to The East Asiatic Company.

The passengers' accommodation was designed by the well-known Danish architect Carl Brummer who was the architect of many contemporary upper-class villas and who also designed the interior of the royal yacht the DANNEBROG. All passenger cabins were first- class cabins.

Carrying Cargo and Passengers

The M/S SELANDIA was a combined passenger and cargo vessel. Besides general cargo, she accommodated 22 passengers, all travelling first class.

B&W did not spare any effort to make the voyage as comfortable as possible for the passengers. All cabins were of a high standard and located amidships where the movements of the ship are steadiest. The passengers’ quarters were spacious and comfortable, with large, rectangular windows instead of portholes. In this way, the passengers could feel that they were in a stately home and not on board a ship. As a very modern feature, the travellers were able to enjoy electric light, something quite unusual in 1912. The cabins for the 22 passengers were comfortable and had direct access to bath and toilet. The price for a two-way trip for instance from Naples to Bangkok amounted to almost 1,800.00 Danish kroner. This corresponds to approximately 100,000.00 Danish kroner today.

Besides passengers, the M/S SELANDIA also carried cargo. The M/S SELANDIA had four holds: three in front of the engine room and one abaft. As a novelty, the hold beams were provided with electric capstans rather than steam capstans. On her maiden voyage, the M/S SELANDIA carried a cargo of cement, but she was to carry all kinds of cargo in her lifetime.

The M/S SELANDIA had a cruising radius of approximately 30,000.00 nautical miles, more than enough for the trip to Bangkok. The M/S SELANDIA was also equipped with a wireless telegraph.

The Engine of the M/S SELANDIA

The Engine of the M/S Selandia.

As early as in 1904, B&W had produced diesel engines which were usable on land. However, for the diesel engine to have practical importance in marine propulsion, the engine had to be reversed. After having acquired patent rights to the diesel engine in 1897, B&W worked steadily on developing the engine for commercial use. In 1904, the first B&W engine for use on land was put into operation (this engine can be seen at Diesel House). In 1910, B&W tested a reversible engine on land. The same year, Rudolf Diesel visited Copenhagen and for a couple of days, he observed the tests closely. Diesel commended Ivar Knudsen for making the tests on a four-stroke engine rather than trying to make the reversing mechanism work on the more efficient, but also much more complicated two-stroke engine. Diesel was a capable theorist, but acknowledged that Knudsen's practical approach was necessary in order to drastically change the diesel engine. Even though Ivar Knudsen and his staff worked with the, at that time, more reliable four-stroke engine, the tests were time-consuming and several possible solutions to the reversing issue had to be abandoned. In fact, one of the test engines, the DM 1200x, did not behave quite as expected, and was in 1911 involved in two lube oil explosions, fortunately, with no serious damage to staff and equipment.

Not until the day after the M/S SELANDIA's launching on November 4,1911, a chosen few met to observe the first start of one of the M/S SELANDIA's two main engines. The epoch-making event was a success and in the course of December, the main machinery was installed on the M/S SELANDIA.

A World Sensation

Winston Churchill visits the Selandia

On her maiden voyage to the Far East, the M/S SELANDIA visited London in an advertising campaign which could not have had better timing. The national coal strike in Great Britain only increased the interest in the ship which sailed without the use of coal. On her maiden voyage, the M/S SELANDIA did not carry any passengers, but a cargo of cement from Nrresundby to Bangkok. An ocean-going motor ship was a sensation. Therefore, the route was laid via London where the high point was a visit by the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, the later prime minister, who was immediately thrilled. He proclaimed Denmark a leading seafaring nation and ordered that the technology used on M/S SELANDIA also be used in the British navy, eventually. From London, a major group of special guests from the trade press and the shipping industry travelled on board the M/S SELANDIA to Antwerp so that they could inspect the ship and the engine working. After the voyage, several guests wrote home describing the beautiful and almost noiseless ship. The story about the world's first ocean-going motor ship spread over the world and was resonating in the international press. The last part of the cargo was loaded in Genoa. Thereafter, M/S SELANDIA was southward bound sailing through the Suez Canal and further on to South East Asia.



Page 10 of 30

It had not been difficult to find engine-room crew for the first voyage of the M/S SELANDIA and the crew worked enthusiastically and with great professional pride. It was a point of honour that the motor ship proved her worth. All problems were solved during the voyage without causing delays. Everywhere the M/S SELANDIA arrived, she caused interest and admiration. The diesel engine had proved its practicability in commercial shipping, also over long distances.

The M/S SELANDIA returned to Copenhagen after her first voyage to South East Asia and was greeted enthusiastically by crowds of people.

M/S SELANDIA after the Time with (EAC)

For some years, the M/S SELANDIA sailed EAC's Bangkok line, but in 1932 the ship entered service on EAC's Transpacific Service. In 1936, the M/S SELANDIA was taken over by a Norwegian owner, who sold it on to a Finnish owner in 1940.

After sailing under Panama flag for the Norwegian shipowner Odd Godager for two years, under the name of M/S NORSEMAN, the ship was seized by Spanish warships in 1938 serving General Franco, and had to spend some months in Spanish captivity. However, the hardship was not over. On the way home the ship was badly damaged in hard weather, and a cargo fire broke out on its return to Oslo. During the extensive repair works, the ship was rebuilt to carry just 12 passengers. However, the M/S NORSEMAN did not sail out right away, but was laid up as a cereal store. In 1940, Odd Godager sold the world's first ocean-going motor ship to Finland-Amerika Line. The new shipowner renamed the ship M/S TORNATOR and sent her to Japan on a long journey, which the ageing ship managed without any engine failures. The M/S TORNATOR stayed in Japanese waters during the war. Until her final loss in January 1942, the former M/S SELANDIA sailed in time charter under Japanese flag, but still with its Finnish crew, between Japanese ports. Due to bad weather, she ran aground off the Japanese coast and sank. All crew members were rescued.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS

China's Aircraft Carrier to Begin Service This Year - Feb 13, 2012

China plans to put its first aircraft carrier into service later this year, a top navy official said. Xu Hongmeng, deputy commander of the Navy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, told the People's Daily on Sunday the PLA "has a plan" to put it into service this year. The carrier has undergone four sea trials since last year. According to media reports, the former Varyag, which is docked in Dalian Port, in Northeast China's Liaoning province, is currently equipped with life-size model planes. China's first aircraft carrier, a retrofitted former Soviet vessel, set out on its maiden voyage on August 10, 2011 and returned to port five days later. It underwent three more sea trials in the Pacific. Rear Admiral Cao Dongshen, a deputy at the 11th National People's Congress, China's top legislature, told China Daily on Monday that the refitted aircraft carrier will not be deployed as part of a single fixed fleet, but will keep traveling. The carrier will be used mainly for experiments, training and scientific research, Cao said on the sidelines of the annual national legislature session. Cao brushed aside a report that China is building overseas naval bases, because the country has a near-shore defense policy.

Djibouti’s busy port is one of the most important gateways to the African continent and is strategically located at the confluence of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. Besides maintenance of the Port Authorities’ own fleet, the dock will be used for repair and maintenance of port-calling vessels. The dock, that measures 50 x 20 m, is to be used for repair and maintenance of the Authorities’ fleet.

World’s Largest Shipyard – 54% Boost In New-Build Orders - Feb 10, 2012

Hyundai Heavy Industries, the world’s largest shipyard, expects to boost orders 54 per cent this year as growing global trade and increasing oil exploration spur demand for vessels and offshore equipment. New contracts may total US$26.6 billion, the highest since 2008, the Ulsan, South Korea-based company said on Friday in a regulatory filing. Sales, which reflect completed work, may rise 20 per cent to a record 26.9 trillion won (S$30.8 billion), it said.

Last year, orders jumped 61 per cent as shipping lines renewed fleet expansion plans following the end of a trade slump during the global recession. Energy companies, such as Total SA and Petroleo Brasileiro SA, have also begun signing deals for rigs and offshore structures alongside a 13 per cent increase in oil prices last year.

LESSONS FROM THE TITANIC In April this year we will commemorate the loss of the White Star liner Titanic which, after a lamentably brief career, became the victim of the collision with the iceberg in the North Atlantic which was to make her arguably the world’s best-known ship.

But in that tragedy, which cost the lives of 1,589 passengers and crew aboard the “unsinkable” ship, was born a new attitude to marine safety which can still be determined today.

The Titanic disaster was an international calamity, with passengers and crew from a number of different countries and it focused peoples’ minds on issues of prevention, on the need to design for safety and to try and determine the cause of a marine accident, rather than merely putting it down to “human error” or “press of weather”. There was no International Maritime Organization in those days, but following the Titanic loss, there was an unusual degree of international consensus to improve marine safety and to try and prevent such accidents happening again. The major maritime nations could agree that such accidents were not inevitable and while the sea was a hazardous place, there was a role for both technology and seamanship in reducing the risks of a sea passage.

There were obvious design changes that could be made to the ships themselves. One might think of the North Atlantic Ice Patrol, the compulsory holding of boat drills and ensuring that ships had adequate lifesaving capacity for all on board. The development of the radio “auto-alarm”, that would alert an off watch radio officer to an emergency, was a direct consequence of this one accident. A more analytical approach to accident investigation probably had its



Page 18 of 30

genesis with this accident, notwithstanding the two government inquiries which did not really get to grips with what we today would call “causation”.

Despite the tragic intervention of two world wars, marine safety has progressed over the years, partly because some of the faults that lay behind the loss of this huge ship on her maiden voyage were generally recognised and have come down through the years. The complacency of designers, who seemed to think that they had produced a ship that could, under no circumstances sink, is perhaps one of the main “human element” lessons that this tragedy taught us. The need to think “outside the box”, to evaluate risk and the “worst case scenario” would have to wait, but probably the seeds were sown with the loss of this ship.

Accidents have continued to occur. Indeed, in relatively modern times, loss of life as bad or far worse than that on the Titanic have been melancholy milestones of marine progress. But there is no argument that sea transport as a whole is far safer, and that this is largely due to the regulatory processes that began with this calamity.

HEMPEL OPENS NEW FACTORY IN ARGENTINA With the opening of its 24th factory, the first in South America, Hempel will be better placed to serve the rapidly growing South American market.

L-R: Ignacio Novelli (South America Regional Sales Director), Debora Giorgi (Minister of Industry), Pierre Yves Jullien (Hempel Group CEO), Ole Frijs-Madsen (Danish Ambassador in Argentina),

Richard Sand (Chairman of the Board and President of the Hempel Foundation) and Amado Boudou (First Vice president of Argentina).

The new plant will mean shorter lead times for customers and will enable Hempel to develop and customise products to meet local environmental legislation and standards. The new plant, located north of the Argentinian capital of Buenos Aires, will manufacture paint for the Marine and Protective Coatings segments and will supply the entire South American market.

The 3,000 square metre facility is part of the ‘One Hempel – One Ambition’ growth strategy, and is one of three new plants scheduled to open around the world in 2012 and 2013.

According to Lars Johansen, Group Vice President – Americas, the new plant is strategically located to best serve the market. “At the moment, we supply the South American market from our production facility in Singapore. The Buenos Aires plant will cut down lead times and streamline our supply chain. We’ll be better placed to serve existing and new customers in the region, as well as develop and customise products faster.”



Page 21 of 30

Construction began on April 29, 2011, and production trials are currently in progress ahead of the official opening on February 16, 2012. With a production volume of 10.5 million litres per year, the USD 17 million facility will employ 30 people by the end of 2012. The plant is designed for future capacity expansion and will supply the entire region with the complete portfolio of products within Marine and Protective.

The plant features the latest technology in paint production equipment, including conical dissolvers that enable very flexible production runs down to 20 to 30 per cent of maximum capacity. To control the speed at which the powder is fed into the machine from the bags, a sonic system monitors the frequency generated from the dissolving process and adjusts the powder feed accordingly. To reduce emissions from the cleaning process, all the tanks are linked to a closed circuit cleaning system, which is sealed during the cleaning process.

Hempel CEO Pierre-Yves Jullien, Hempel Chairman Richard Sand, the Danish Ambassador to Argentina Ole Frijs-Madsen, the Vice President of Argentina Amado Boudou, the Minister of Industry Débora Giorgi and the Mayor of Pilar Humberto Zuccaro, as well as customers, suppliers and staff will attend the opening of the plant.

FIRST DAMEN FAST CREW SUPPLIER BUILT IN ECUADOR For the first time, a Damen Fast Crew Supplier 1605 will be built in Ecuador by Astilleros Navales Ecuatorianos (ASTINAVE) Shipyard.

Particulars of the new 9,000 TEU LNG-fuelled container vessel are Length overall 308 metres and a Breadth 48.4 metres

Damen is supplying the complete, prefabricated Shipbuilding Material Package Kit to ASTINAVE. The yard's technical staff are responsible for the construction, together with Damen Technical Cooperation (DTC). The DTC concept enables customers to build Damen vessels of their choice locally, according to specific requirements. The Fast Crew Supplier will be delivered to PetroEcuador in September this year. "Damen will do everything in its power to ensure that ASTINAVE can accomplish this tight deadline," says Ezequiel Najmias, Damen Sales Manager Americas. Negotiations with ASTINAVE are already going on for the possibility of more Fast Crew Suppliers and other vessels. State-owned oil company PetroEcuador is the end user of the new Fast Crew Supplier, which will be deployed to transport executives to oilfields. Passenger comfort Damen engineers have been heavily involved in the design process because the vessel will not be a standard vessel. Usually, the Damen Fast Crew Supplier 1605 transports 29 passengers, but this vessel is being designed for only 19. As well as being more luxurious and spacious for high levels of passenger comfort, the vessel is also being adapted for a 3 m access system to transfer passengers to the rigs.



Page 24 of 30

Partner yards ASTINAVE and Damen have a long-established relationship, with the Ecuadorian yard having built several Cutter Suction Dredgers and Stan Patrols over the years. This latest order followed one in September 2011 for a Stan Patrol 2606. ASTINAVE employees also attend training courses at Damen Shipyards' headquarters in the Netherlands. Damen Technical Cooperation (DTC) DTC supplies the complete prefabricated shipbuilding kit, including the steel or aluminium. This cost-efficient concept enables customers to build the Damen vessel of their choice locally, according to their personal requirements. Advantages are clear: local economy profits and costs of transportation are cut down, which substantially reduces the environmental impact. Damen also supervises the build if required. Damen Shipyards Group Damen Shipyards Group (est. 1927) is a globally operating company with more than 35 owned shipyards and numerous partner yards. Damen employs over 6,000 people, has built over 5,000 vessels worldwide and delivers up to 150 vessels annually. Based on its unique, standardised ship-design concept and short delivery times, Damen is able to guarantee constant quality.

Damen's focus on standardization and a modular construction approach lead to short delivery times (Damen keeps vessels in stock), low total cost of ownership', high resale value, proven technology and reliable performance. Damen offers a wide range of products, including: tugs, workboats, patrol vessels, high-speed craft, cargo vessels, dredgers, offshore support vessels, oil-spill response vessels and even frigates and mega yachts. In addition to shipbuilding, Damen offers efficient customer support, customer financing and complete lifecycle service.

Fast ferry service coming to Eastern Caribbean

A fast ferry service for the Eastern Caribbean is to be established, Transport Minister Devant Maharaj announced yesterday.

Speaking at yesterday's post-Cabinet news conference at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann's, Maharaj said the company managing the service, Fast Caribbean Ltd, has agreed to provide 100,000 seats per year at a special price of US$10 a ticket but the average price for citizens of Trinidad and Tobago would be between US$25 and US$35 a seat. The ferry will also carry goods.
