In December this year SRC Netherlands BV will be relocating its office to the Port of Rotterdam. The new office will be located at the corner of the entrance of the Waalhaven adjacent to Broekman logistic’s facility. In 2017 SRC Netherlands BV, part of the SRC Group AS, was established in Dordrecht from where the company mainly focused on sales and business development activities.

The SRC Group is specialized in ship repair and conversion services and its business model has always been to support its clients, worldwide, by mobilizing their skilled personnel to the Client’s onsite location. SRC’s relocation to the Waalhaven is in line with the company’s growth ambitions and a response to requests from clients to have yard facilities in the Port of Rotterdam to support them with specific ship repairs, major conversions and/or complex project mobilizations.

With the relocation to this new office, the SRC Group will have direct access to a large quayside which is located adjacent to the new office facility with a berthing capacity of 45m width and 10.5m draught. Lifting services along the quayside are provided by four cranes with lifting capacity up to 100 ton. Additionally, storage facilities and covered fabrication areas are provided. Complementary logistic services can be provided by SRC’s onsite partner Broekman Logistics.

    Covered warehouse/fabrication area (conditioned):
Hall 1            lifting cap: 2 x   75T overhead cranes      23,000 m²

Emissions from international shipping could grow between 50% and 250% by 2050, with predictions that 15% of total CO2 emissions will be attributable to maritime.  The International Maritime Organization has committed to reduce total GHG emissions of shipping by at least 50% by 2050. In addition, EU regulations stipulate a reduction of at least 40% by 2030. With goals only getting stricter, now is the time to do the work to reduce GHG emissions of your fleet. 

•       Reduction of GHG by a minimum 40% by 2030

•       70% reduction of GHG by 2050.

•         Short-term measures are to be finalized and agreed between 2018 and 2023

•         Possible mid-term measures could be finalized and agreed upon in 2023 and 2030.

•         Possible long-term measures could be finalized and agreed beyond 2030.

•         Stipulation of improved EEDI Energy Efficiency Design Index, formulated as a requirement for new ships

•         Stipulation of EEMP Ship energy efficiency management plan for existing vessels

•         Sept 9 2020 European amendment 1-17 referring to IMO Initial Strategy 2018 in Union law. Companies shall linearly reduce the annual CO2 emissions per transport work by at least 40% by 2030 . Companies who fail to comply with the annual reduction are subject to a financial penalty proportionate to EU ETS.

•         EU MRV  ‘Monitoring Reporting and Verification of Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Maritime Transport’

•         EU ETS economic trends, fuel prices, policy and regulations

SRC provides tailored solutions for GHG reduction requirements that cover the entire project, with a complete package from study, development, design, installation, commissioning, and supporting the system integration. 

A complete solution starts off with a feasibility study analysis to determine the best available solution to achieve compliance with the upcoming IMO requirements. This also includes guidance and support in obtaining various incentives, tax reductions and as short of a ROI as possible. 

Subsequent to the initial analysis, SRC will make use of its expertise in designing and developing customized tailored solutions for all types of vessels and accommodating the specific needs of customers, whether they be technical or aesthetical requests. The SRC team of experts can combine and integrate different systems and technologies from numerous manufacturers into a single turnkey project or solution. 

Most common solutions include: battery systems, shore electricity connections, VFDs, energy-recovery ultracapacitors and wind turbines - all in the name of reducing emissions. 
 For example installing ESS electrical storage systems yields three main advantages - firstly a spinning reserve needs less generators to be online. Secondly, peak shaving allows to balance and buffer engine load. Thirdly, optimizing the load points of generators allows for improved efficiency, fuel-saving and reduced maintenance. All in all, it can be a serious step towards zero-emissions operations.
