CCGS JOHN P. TULLY HELIDECK

CCGS John P. Tully is an offshore oceanographic science vessel in the Canadian Coast Guard. She was built by Bel-Air Shipyards in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1985. The ship has been employed on joint research voyages with a variety of United States agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. She is staffed by a crew of 20. She is under 70 meters long.

She is named after Dr. John P. Tully, often regarded as the ‘Father of West Coast Oceanography’ in Canada.

In September 2009, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans announced invitations for contracts to replace several Canadian Coast Guard research vessels.[3] According to the Canadian American Strategic Review four smaller research vessels, CCGS Teleost, CCGS W.E. Ricker, CCGS Wilfred Templeman and CCGS William Needler, will be replaced with three new vessels. The new vessels are scheduled to be completed in 2011 or 2012, and will be about the same size as John P. Tully.

3GA Marine Ltd. will develop technical data specifications to strengthen the flight deck to enable operations with the Ranger Helicopter.

ALPHA LAVAL COLLABORATION ANNOUNCED

January 30th 2017

Ship Owners Benefit from 3GA Marine Ltd collaboration with Alfa Laval.

3GA Marine Ltd has announced collaboration with Alfa Laval to provide engineered turn-key solutions which will support ship owners in their response to the IMO’s Ballast Water Management Regulations.

David Stocks, President of 3GA Marine, comments: “The retro-fitting of ballast water treatment systems in existing vessels is challenging because of their size and required capacity to maintain ballast operations.
It can also prove to be complex in integrating the system with existing systems and congested machinery room spaces. 3GA utilize 3D laser scanning and modelling technology to gain accurate representation of as-built structures and surrounding systems which significantly reduces refit project risk.”

3GA have entered into a partnering agreement with Alfa Laval, the world leading supplier of ballast water treatment systems (BWTS) and have qualified as a trusted engineering partner under their worldwide supplier network. Working together with Alfa Laval, 3GA provides the 3D scanning technology, system survey and modeling data, marine systems engineering, structural engineering and naval architectural services that are required to determine the feasibility of retrofitting a BWTS; detailed design for installation of the system that integrates with existing ship structure and piping and an oversight of the installation in
a commissioning representative and site engineering role.
Dan McIntyre, 3GA’s principal marine engineer and scanning lead explains: “This collaboration of at ship naval architecture and marine engineering will allow for the integration of IMO and USCG approved Alfa Laval PureBallast systems to be managed in an efficient and accurate manner. It will minimize ship down time and reduce project risk while ensuring that vessel design records are accurate and that ballast management is efficient and compliant with regulations.”

Derek Gluschenko, Manager, BC Office of Alfa Laval Canada, Marine says: “We are pleased to have
3GA as a trusted partner in the provision of Alfa Laval ballast water treatment systems. Their experience in the maritime space will provide the vessel owner with enhanced confidence that their Alfa Laval PureBallast system will be installed without any concerns or conflicts with existing systems.”

3GA Marine Ltd is a Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering company based in British Columbia Canada. They provide survey and inspection, design engineering and project implementation support to owners and operators of marine assets.

Alfa Laval is a global supplier of marine technologies (leader in purifier and separator equipment) to the marine sector. Alfa Laval PureBallast is one of the few systems that has gained IMO and USCG type approval.
