Marine Industry Supply Chains of Canadian Shipyards in the Era of the National Shipbuilding Strategy

The Canadian Marine Industries and Shipbuilding Association in collaboration with the Royal United Services Institute of Nova Scotia extends an invitation to members of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers to hear video-conference presentations Wednesday, 14 October, titled “Marine Industry Supply Chains of Canadian Shipyards in the Era of the National Shipbuilding Strategy.”

Philippe Flébus, Director Procurement & Infrastructure, Ocean Group (https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippeflebus/);

 

Canadian Shipyards have a significant impact for the national and local economies through their supply chains.  These three experts share their views on:

• The economic impact of their projects;
• Canadian aspects of their supply chain — size, geographic distribution and number of companies;
• How other companies might get involved in current or future projects; and
• How Canadians yards could position themselves for future national and international opportunities, and how supply chains and governments might assist.

Reliable operations in the Arctic by Steerprop, Mr. Hannu Jukola, Propulsion specialist and Sales Manager at Steerprop, Steerprop

Tools to increase reliability and safety in arctic operations: Precise solutions based on experience and expertise ensures reliability in the most demanding applications and environments. Predictive maintenance provides preventability and safety in the remote operating areas.

Solutions for low emission and carbon neutral shipping, Mr. Mark Keneford, General Manager, Marine Solutions Sales, Wärtsilä

The energy sources at hand including alternative fuels and fuel flexibility are as important elements on the road to de-carbonisation as data and new technologies. Fuel flexibility, enabled by the combustion engine, is more important now than ever, de-risking today’s investment decisions. We need to invest in future fuels where applicable (and complementary energy sources). With existing products, solutions and infrastructure at hand we can reach the 2030 if we act now – for 2050 targets there must be further development done. LNG is the best route to de-carbonisation, transitioning from fossil LNG to bio- and synthetic LNG.

Hannu Jukola, Propulsion specialist and Senior Sales Manager at Steerprop

Since graduating as Naval Architect in 1990 from Helsinki University of Technology, where I majored in Ship Design and Hydrodynamics, I have been working with propulsion aspects, specializing in propeller design. Nowadays I have the pleasure of splitting my attention between sales activities and discussions over propulsion aspects with other Naval Architects. It is especially intriguing to be able to follow a ship project starting from the first marketing contact followed by sales negotiations to model tests, propeller design and finally sea trials.
