News Using Salt, Thermal Energy for Propulsion The history of maritime propulsion includes many centuries of boats and ships being propelled by renewable, naturally occurring energy. The switch from flat-bottom vessels to vessels built with a lengthwise vertical central plank, the keel, greatly improved directional control. The combination of a keel and a triangular movable sail allowed forward propulsion from both coastal winds that often blew perpendicular to the sailing direction and winds that blew toward the vessel at angles of 45 degrees. Wind Power For many centuries, wind powered ships carried trade between distant nations, sometimes sailing parallel to and in the direction of prevailing trade winds as was the case for galleons, barque ships and clipper ships. An alternate design of wind-powered ship evolved from the trading dhow, the schooner that could sail into prevailing winds at angles of 30 degrees and performing zig-zag maneuvers known as ‘tacking’ into the wind. In some parts of the Asian world, kites made with bamboo frames and fabric covering were used to pull small boats in the general wind direction, over short distances. While wind power may appear to be a maritime propulsion technology from a bygone era, there has been ongoing research and development in wind powered maritime technology. The innovations include new frameless wind-inflatable kites for towing large vessels, airplane-type wing-airfoils being used in place of sails and developing wind-powered vessels that ride on small-water area multiple hulls, water-skis and/or hydrofoils to reduce hydrodynamic drag. A wind-powered vessel has achieved a speed of 65 knots or 1.7 times the wind speed while kite-towed vessels are carrying tourists and other kite-assisted vessels sail parallel to trade winds carrying freight. Wave Power The classical form of wave-powered transportation is the surfboard. British explorer Captain James Cook and his crew first encountered surfboards in 1778 during a stop at Hawaii. Hydrofoil surfboards that ride above the water are the latest development in the technology and allow surfers to ride a series of waves. Patents for wave powered boats were filed in the U.S. prior to 1900, with several private inventors building wave-powered boats prior to 2000. During 2008, a wave-powered boat dubbed Suntory Mermaid II took 110 days to sail from Hawaii to Japan. Calm seas are the nemesis of wave powered vessels, hence the extended duration of the voyage of Suntory Mermaid II from Hawaii to Japan. Depending on location and ocean depth, different measurements of wavelengths and amplitudes for ocean waves occur in different locations. While wave-powered boats have sailed at speeds of six knots, a sailing speed of 10 knots is believed possible. Perhaps future innovative research and design could develop a wave-powered vessel capable of competitive sailing speeds in regions where waves are frequent. This may restrict wave-powered vessels to coastal service instead of trans-oceanic sailing. Tropical Thermal Energy In tropical waters, the surface temperature may exceed 25oC while at a depth of 1,000 meters, water temperature of 4oC may be typical. Ocean thermal energy conversion technology can actually generate electric power from the difference in temperature, using organic Rankin cycle engines. The technology has been tested and demonstrated off the coast of Hawaii. There are several variations that could be adapted to low-speed maritime propulsion in tropical regions. One option could involve a deep tube extending to a depth of 1,000 meters (3,200 feet) to gain access to water at near the freezing point. However, this would be impractical due to the combination of the weight of the tube and the hydrodynamic drag it would cause. A possible option instead would include carrying a heat sink onboard the vessel, perhaps using air tanks built into the hull to provide additional buoyancy to compensate for the weight. The heat sink would need to absorb massive volumes of heat, meaning that it would require a measure of latent heat of fusion for it to absorb heat over a very narrow range of temperature. Adding Ice Energy It may be possible to combine ocean thermal energy conversion with onboard stored ice energy. During the overnight hours, a heat pump connected by tube to the 1,000-meter depth could cool a tank of onboard water to produce ice. Pure water ice would require 144 BTU per pound of thermal energy to convert from solid into liquid water and serve as a heat sink for an organic Rankin cycle engine that would provide propulsion. Mixing sodium chloride salt into the water would reduce its melting temperature and increase the latent heat of fusion thermal storage capacity aboard a boat. Sodium chloride salt is soluble in water and usually melts in pure form at over 800oC (1,470 degrees Fahrenheit) with a heat of fusion of over 200 BTU per pound. An insulated heat sink tank filled with extreme saline water would be installed under a boat that would include air ballast tanks for additional buoyancy. Depending on the size of the boat and size of the saline tank, the organic Rankin cycle engine could generate several hundred kilowatts of power using the difference in temperature of surface tropical ocean water and the heat sink tank. Storage Tanks The onboard heat sink tanks of salt water would need to be lined with plastic in order to reduce salt induced corrosion of metal, perhaps with some carbon dioxide gas inside the tank to prevent oxidation of metal. Insulation technology would need to surround the tanks, perhaps using vacuum technology. Heat exchange pipes that pass through the storage tanks would require a corrosion resistant coating or be made from a plastic that offers a high level of thermal conductivity. The sodium chloride salt to be contained inside the tanks is commercially available at very low cost. Unlike electrochemical batteries that offer limited life expectancy, a water-salt mixture would offer many decades of useable service. In this case, the thermal battery heat sink technology would be more rugged, more durable and more economical to use than electrochemical battery technology. The low cost of the sodium chloride salt allows for a very large vessel with massive heat sink capacity to allow a vessel to sail at a low speed between tropical islands. Recharging of the heat sink tanks could be achieved using off-peak energy from any of the power grid or various renewable energy technologies. Tank Recharging Mega-scale size port-based heat sinks could compliment the vessel onboard heat sink tanks. During a layover at port, heavily insulated pipes would be connected between port and vessel heat sinks to pull massive volumes of the heat from the vessel tanks. The ability to rapidly cool the contents of the vessel tanks would translate to additional time in service for the vessels, allowing them to sail additional short-distance voyages in the form of inter-island ferry services in tropical locations in the Caribbean region, the Philippines as well as at other Asian locations. Power and Speed Assume that a vessel of 200 meters (650 feet) in length requires 27,000kW engine power to sail at a speed of 21 knots. Power varies according to the cube of the velocity, with power level resulting from force multiplied by velocity. The force required to balance the water drag varies to the square of the velocity. Sailing the vessel at one-third the speed or at seven knots would reduce the power requirement by a factor of (3 x 3 x 3 = 27) 1/27 or 1,000kW. Ocean thermal energy conversion technology for stationery applications has been developed to levels of power output of just over 1,000kW. The distance that the vessel will travel would depend on the thermal storage capacity of the heat sink, with larger vessels offering increased storage capacity and possibly increased operating range. Closed-cycle organic Rankin cycle engines operating over a very narrow range of temperature typically operate at a thermal efficiency or about two percent. The easy availability of the needed temperature range in tropical locations makes the operation of engines of such low efficiency both viable and practical. Despite the low efficiency, there may be market application for the services of an organic Rankin cycle powered boat that sails over short distances. Two-Tank Storage A two-tank system of warm and cold insulated thermal energy storage tanks would offer higher engine efficiency. A low-tech warm tank would involve using heat pumps to transfer heat from tropical surface seawater into a thermal storage tank held at a temperature of over 60oC (140 degrees Fahrenheit). A heat pump could transfer up to four units of thermal energy for every unit of energy to operate the heat pump. A higher concentration of low-cost salt in seawater could store large amounts of thermal energy at constant temperature and remain at constant temperature for several hours during a ferry voyage. While sodium chloride salt would work well to help store energy in a cold tank, storing thermal energy at higher temperature allows for the addition of other compounds such as small amounts of sodium hydroxide and sodium fluoride into the chemical mixture to increase thermal storage capacity. A small tank at higher temperature could serve as the vessel starting tank to accelerate the vessel to cruising speed when thermal energy from seawater would blend in to sustain organic Rankin cycle engine operation. The advantage of maritime dimensional scale would allow for the application of ocean thermal energy conversion technology for short-distance vessel propulsion. Conclusions Wind and wave powered vessels depend on favorable winds to provide the source of propulsion, waves being a manifestation of wind energy which in turn is a manifestation of solar thermal energy. Applying ocean thermal energy conversion technology to maritime propulsion bypasses the problem of insufficient wind to provide maritime propulsion. Ocean thermal energy conversion technology involves low cost and a very extensive useful service life. However, it would be restricted to low-speed, short-distance sailing in tropical waters.

News Hrvatska brodogradnja - poslovi vrijedni 1,9 milijardi dolara U zadnjih 10 godina brodogradnja ima udio u hrvatskom bruto domaćem proizvodu između 0,8 do 1,8 posto, u izvozu sudjeluje sa 10 do 15 posto, dok je udio brodogradnje u zaposlenosti između dva i pet posto. S kooperantima taj udio se penje i do 10 posto. Sve su to pokazatelji kako je brodogradnja vrlo važan industrijski sektor za Hrvatsku. Potkraj rujna ove godine, hrvatska brodogradilišta imala su ugovorenu proizvodnju 46 plovnih objekata, ukupne vrijednosti oko 1,9 milijardi američkih dolara. Hrvatska brodogradilišta u 2016. ugovorila su šest brodova ukupne vrijednosti oko 280 milijuna američkih dolara što je solidan rezultat, znajući da je svjetska brodogradnja ove godine zabilježila veliki pad narudžbi. Od početka ove godine pa do kraja rujna u svijetu je ugovoren samo 321 brod što je pad od čak 74 posto u odnosu na isto lanjsko razdoblje. Usporedbe radi, u 2013. godini bilo je ugovoreno ukupno 3056 brodova, u 2014. njih 2217, dok je lani bilo ugovoreno 1617 brodova. Kako za sada nema naznaka značajnijeg oporavka tržišta, može se očekivati daljnji pad vozarina i cijena novogradnji. Očekivano oživljavanje Proizvodni program hrvatskih brodogradilišta čine razni tipovi brodova različitih veličina, remont, preinake te izgradnja offshore konstrukcija. “Pred hrvatskim brodogradilištima su veliki izazovi, s obzirom na aktualno loše stanje na tržištu te njihovu specifičnu situaciju procesa restrukturiranja koji je pod nadzorom hrvatske vlade i Europske komisije”, kaže Siniša Ostojić, direktor tvrtke Hrvatska brodogradnja-Jadranbrod. “Zbog veličine i složenosti gradnje brodova značajan dio hrvatske industrije, posebice malih i srednjih poduzeća, je pod ugovorima direktno vezano na brodogradnju. U ovoj grani industrije zaposlen je veliki dio stanovništva pojedinih regija, pogotovo u Istarskoj, Primorsko-goranskoj i Splitsko-dalmatinskoj županiji. Proces privatizacije i restrukturiranja hrvatskih brodogradilišta trebao bi im omogućiti da rade na međunarodnom tržištu brodogradnje učinkovito i po tržišnim načelima, a sve u skladu s postojećim pravilima i propisima EU-a. Očekivano oživljavanje hrvatske brodogradnje u velikoj bi mjeri trebalo pridonijeti regionalnoj i socijalnoj stabilnosti, kao i jačanju nacionalnog gospodarstva”, kazao je Ostojić. Na nedavno održanom simpoziju Sorta, manifestaciji koja okuplja brodograđevne stručnjake, Ostojić je ocijenio kako su hrvatska brodogradilišta u stalnom procesu promjena čemu se stalno prilagođuju. “Prije nešto više od tri godine krenula su u procese restrukturiranja i privatizacije. Tada su privatni vlasnici brodogradilišta preuzeli na sebe veliku odgovornost u pokušaju postizanja održivosti brodograđevnih sustava koji nisu baš funkcionirali na zadovaljajući način. Od uspjeha tog procesa ovisit će i sudbina hrvatske brodogradnje. Proces privatizacije i restrukturiranja pokazuje da nije do kraja definirana slika hrvatskih brodogradilišta, a važne institucije nisu na pravi način uključene u taj proces. Sve to dugoročno može utjecati na uspješnost konačnog procesa restrukturiranja naše brodogradnje”, istaknuo je tada Ostojić. Dodao je i kako se unatoč svemu vide pozitivni trendovi u hrvatskoj brodogradnji, koja je u zadnje dvije godine napravila veliki iskorak - po udjelu se popela sa 15. na devetu poziciju u svijetu i povećala taj udio četiri puta, dok je u Europi također zabilježila rast udjela i drži drugu poziciju, što nema ni jedna druga industrijska grana. Istina, te udjele odnosno ta mjesta naša brodogradnja ima u tonaži brodova, a ne po prihodima. Usporedbe radi, Italija je po tonaži iza nas, ali je po prihodima značajno ispred nas. Uljanik Grupa radi punim kapacitetom Marinko Brgić, član Uprave Uljanik Grupe na istom skupu naglasio je da unatoč dugotrajnoj krizi u brodogradnji Uljanik Grupa radi punim kapacitetima. “U svim našim pripremnim aktivnostima u oba naša brodogradilišta, u pulskom Uljaniku i 3. maju, kapaciteti su nam zaposleni u naredne dvije godine. Sada radimo na intenzivnom podizanju kapaciteta u cilju dovršetka ugovorenih obveza. Imamo 21 novi ugovor koji dokazuje našu potpunu zaposlenost, od čega je 11 različitih projekata. To jasno govori o našem opredjeljenju da se pozicioniramo u tržišne niše gradnje vrlo sofisticiranih brodova s dodanom vrijednošću. Riječ je o kompleksnim projektima jer se brodovi iz tih niša ne rade u serijama, nego pojedinačno i vrlo su različiti. Kako bismo mogli raditi takve brodove, potrebno je imati vrlo snažne projektne i konstrukcijske urede koji mogu odgovoriti tim zahtjevima, kao i obučene radnike koji će te projekte napraviti. Upravo stoga razvijamo vrlo elastičnu brodogradnju koja će odgovoriti tim zahtjevima. Kako bismo sve to postigli, nužna nam je bolja povezanost s obrazovnim ustanovama jer znanje u brodogradnji ima najznačajniju ulogu”, kazao je tada Marinko Brgić. Dakle, knjiga narudžbi Uljanik Grupe trenutačno broji 21 gradnju ukupne vrijednosti oko milijardu eura. Svi su brodovi ugovoreni preko krovnog društva Uljanik tako da se pravilu mogu kombinirati resursi i u Uljaniku i u 3. maju. Od ugovorenih brodova u Uljaniku posebno ističu novogradnju 500 – usisno jaružalo s kopačem (Cutter Suction Dredger) koje Uljanik Brodogradilište gradi za Jan De Nul Grupu. Jaružar će imati snagu kopanja od 8500 kilovata i to će biti najsnažnije jaružalo na svijetu s najboljim izvedbenim performansama koje će moći kopati kompaktni pijesak, skrućenu glinu i stijene do 45 metara dubine. Jaružar će biti dugačak 151,3 metra, širok 36 metara, a visina do glavne palube iznosit će 10 metara. Maksimalna dubina kopanja s produžecima bit će 45 metara. Naglašavaju kako je krajem prošle godine potpisan i ugovor s australskom kompanijom Scenic kojim je dogovorena izgradnja luksuznog putničkog broda namijenjenog krstrenjima po cijelom svijetu, ali posebno po polarnim i tropskim područjima. Riječ je o projektu koji spada među nekoliko najskuplje izgrađenih brodova te prve ugovorene takve vrste u Hrvatskoj. Gradnja sofisticiranijih brodova “Potkraj prošle godine u cijelosti smo ispunili sve kadrovske, financijske i tržišno-tehnološke uvjete iz Programa restrukturiranja, iako on formalno traje do 2017. godine. U potpunosti smo optimizirali broj radnika te putem korporativnih jamstava Uljanik Grupe brodogradilište 3. maj učinili potentnijim za izgradnju složenih brodova nego što je to bio ranije. Razvoj 3. maja unutar Uljanik Grupe vidimo u izgradnji sofisticiranijih i složenijih brodova, s većom dodanom vrijednošću, koji upravo time mogu biti konkurentni na svjetskom tržištu. Glavni cilj svih naših značajnih organizacijskih promjena s kojima smo započeli u oba brodogradilišta jest postizanje organizacije u kojoj će se, sinergijom svih projektnih resursa, moći na jednak način ugovoriti, planirati i projektirati brod koji se potom može, bez značajnijih tehnoloških razlika, izgraditi u oba brodogradilišta. Sve to vodi prema dugoročnoj održivosti, podizanju konkurentnosti i povećanju efikasnosti poslovnoga procesa. Uz korištenje rješenja koja su najbolja na obje lokacije, pulsko i riječko brodogradilište danas rade gotovo istovjetno”, pojašnjava Hrvoje Markulinčić, direktor Poslovno-informacijskih sustava Uljanik Grupe. Trenutačno je unutar Uljanik Grupe zaposleno 4380 osoba, od kojih je 2678 u Puli te 1702 u Rijeci. Na razini Grupe, ukupni prihodi su u prvih devet mjeseci iznosili 1,5 milijardi kuna, što je gotovo 33 posto više nego u istom lanjskom razdoblju. Ukupni su rashodi, pak, porasli za 26,6 posto, na 1,58 milijardi kuna. Pulski Uljanik u prvih je devet mjeseci ove godine poslovao s bruto dobiti od 63,7 milijuna kuna, dok je lani ona iznosila samo 2,2 milijuna kuna. Na razini Grupe, pak, bilježi smanjenje gubitka sa 123 na 86,7 milijuna kuna, što dokazuje kvalitetan i pozitivan trend. Nakon dva desetljeća gradnje modernih brodova za prijevoz automobila i kamiona, te višenamjenskih brodova za prijevoz kontejnera i automobila, unutar Grupe nastavljaju s gradnjom dredgera, kompleksnih i sofisticiranih brodova za izvođenje podmorskih radova te brodova za prijevoz žive stoke. “Uskoro bismo trebali krenuti i s gradnjom svog prvog luksuznog putničkog broda za plovidbu polarnim područjima. S visokom stručnošću i motivacijom, koju nesporno posjedujemo, udruženima s vrhunskom kvalitetom isporučenih brodova, cilj Uljanik Grupe je i nadalje graditi čvrste odnose s naručiteljima, zaposlenicima i cjelokupnim okruženjem. Također, vizija nam je osnažiti lojalnost dosadašnjih, ali i budućih partnera putem kreativnosti, znanja i odgovornosti naših zaposlenika te postaviti nove standarde društveno odgovornog poslovanja”, zaključuje Markulinčić. Brodosplit gradi i brane za spas Venecije Kad je riječ o brodograđevnom dijelu Brodosplita, aktivno je 18 novogradnji brodova. Riječ je o opremanju putničkog kruzera dugačkog 105 metara koji može primiti 150 putnika i 69 članova posade. Trenutačno je u izgradnji prvi iz serije pet istovjetnih jedrenjaka dugih 64 metra, od kojih svaki može primiti 36 putnika uz devet članova posade. Gradi se i najveći jedrenjak na svijetu, potom prvi iz serije od pet istovjetnih ophodnih brodova za MORH, dužine 43,50 metara i širine osam metara, četiri broda za prijevoz kontejnera te dva broda za nautički turizam za domaće naručitelji iz okolice Splita. "Uz gradnju brodova razvijamo jaku izvanbrodograđevnu ponudu s više od 30.000 tona ugovorenih čeličnih konstrukcija poput izgradnje 63 čelične brane za spas Venecije od poplava. Projekt je financijski veoma pozitivan, ali i zahtjevan te zapošljava gotovo polovinu radnika na razdoblje od 2,5 godine”, ističe Tomislav Debeljak, predsjednik Uprave Brodosplita. Proteklo je više od 3,5 godine u procesu restrukturiranja Brodosplita, a Debeljak tvrdi da sve ide prema planu. “U tom razdoblju od kada je Brodosplit privatiziran doprinos samog Društva restrukturiranju - u što ulazi dokapitalizacija, komercijalni izvori i vlastita sredstva - je 1,7 milijardi kuna”, naglašava Debeljak. Prema informacijama koje smo dobili iz Brodosplita, Brodograđevna industrija Split ostvarila je zacrtani plan poslovanja i treći kvartal konsolidirano zaključila s dobiti. “To su rezultati bez uključenih potpora za restrukturiranje koja druga brodogradilišta uključuju u svoje prihode, a time i račun dobiti i gubitka te se već sada pokazuje dostizanje održivosti poslovanja bez potpore. Poslovanje, kao i do sada, pokazuje stalan trend rasta kako u ukupnom volumenu tako i u izvozu. Zadovoljni smo postignutim. Brodosplit zapošljava više od 2000 radnika, ima osiguranu punu zaposlenost do 2019. godine i stalno radi na osnaživanju novih komercijalnih projekata i to isključivo na poslovima čije su ponudbene kalkulacije pozitivne”, pojašnjava Debeljak. Pozicioniranje na tržištu složenijih brodova Prednost i posebnost Brodosplita, prema Debeljakovim riječima, je u tome što su brodovi koje grade izuzetno tehnološki i tehnički zahtjevni s većom dodanom vrijednošću i unutarnjeg luksuznog uređenja. Kao klasičan primjer te tvrdnje ističe izgradnju najvećeg broda s križnim jedrima na svijetu gdje je Brodosplit prepoznat kao rijetko brodogradilište u svijetu koje je u stanju izgraditi tako jedinstveni brod, te ponude u izgradnji luksuznih motornih jahti kakvih u Hrvatskoj nije bilo. “Glavni ciljevi su nam pozicioniranje Brodosplita na tržištu složenijih brodova i velikih konstrukcija kao što su kruzeri, putnički brodovi, vrata Venecije, vojni brodovi, jahte... Uporedo s time, ustrajno ćemo inzistirati na provođenju promjena svih poslovnih procesa u svrhu povećanja produktivnosti i efikasnosti izvođenja. Budućnost je u profitabilnim poslovima. Očekujemo realizaciju poslova dobivenim kroz konkurentnu ponudu na svjetskom tržištu brodova i velikih čeličnih konstrukcija”, rekao je Debeljak. Upravo ovih dana je Brodosplit dobio posao izgradnje 108 metara dugog broda za krstarenja polarnim područjima Polar Expedition Cruise Vessel. Ugovor je potpisan u Nizozemskoj, s vodećom kompanijom za putnički turizam u polarnim područjima. “Potpisom ovog ugovora Brodosplit čvrsto napreduje u ostvarenju svih svojih poslovnih planova te poziciji nezaobilaznog europskog brodogradilišnog sustava koji gradi vrlo složene brodove kojima postiže visoku konkurentnost”, zaključio je Debeljak. Brodotrogir izrađuje projekte RoPax brodova Iz postojeće knjige narudžbi u Brodotrogiru izdvajamo kako se trenutačno dovršava chemical tanker koji je porinut u srpnju čija je planirana isporuka do kraja studenoga. “Riječ o drugom od dva chemical tankera koje je naša pomorska kompanija Trogir Maritime ugovorila u brodogradilištu Hrvatska brodogradnja Trogir, koja također pripada Grupi Brodotrogir. Imamo ugovore o eksploataciji brodova nakon njihove izgradnje s norveškom Blystad grupom. Projektiran je za prijevoz kemijskih i naftnih proizvoda s ciljem da ostvari maksimalnu fleksibilnost operacija teretom u ovoj specifičnoj grani, uz optimalni odnos nosivosti broda, zapremine teretnog prostora i brzine”, pojašnjava Mateo Tramontana, član Uprave Brodotrogira. Tramontana je dodao kako se u Brodotrogiru za rurskog brodovlasnika gradi brod čija je gradnja započela na sjeveru Rusije. “Izgrađeni dio je dotegljen u naše brodogradilište i na njemu imamo još oko tri mjeseca posla. Sličan sestrinski brod, koji je doduše u manjoj fazi izgradnje, trebao bi biti dotegljen u naše brodogradilište u 46. tjednu. Ugovoreni rok isporuke je devet mjeseci. Potkraj mjeseca, točnije 25. studenoga, trebamo početi rezati limove za jedan artički tanker. Ugovorili smo gradnju pramčanog dijela za finsko brodogradilište Arctech Helsinki Shipyard. Radi se o tankeru koji lomi led dva metra i nisu mu potrebni ledolomci za plovidbu u polarnim uvjetima. Bez problema plovi na temperaturama od minus 40 stupnjeva. Taj dio koji mi gradimo dugačak je 170 metara, a trebao bi biti isporučen do kraja listopada 2017. godine. On će se potom u suhom doku Helsinki Shipyarda spojiti sa strojarnicom i nadgrađem. Započeli smo projekt off shore brodova za prijevoz cijevi. Pregovaramo o gradnji serije manjih tankera. Puno je mogućnosti”, rekao je Tramontana, koji kao iskusni brodograditelj napominje kako se u Brodotrogiru prvi put izrađuje projekte RoPax brodova. “Izrađujemo projekte jahti, projekte off shore brodova specijalne namjene. U ovom trenutku su nam kapaciteti popunjeni, a da bi to bili i za godinu dana, moramo još nešto ugovoriti”, dodaje Tramontana. Stanje u remontu je nakon osposobljavanja dokova vrlo dobro. Usporedbe radi, prošle godine je Brodotrogir u remontu imao 50 posto više brodova na remontu nego godinu prije. Brodotrogiru proces restrukturiranja završava u ožujku 2018. godine. Vrijednost imovine od početka procesa restrukturiranja uvećana je 2,7 puta. Prošlu 2015. godinu Brodotrogir je završio s konsolidiranim prihodom od oko 410 milijuna kuna, što je oko 30 posto veći prihod od godinu prije kada je iznosio 323 milijuna kuna. Trenutačno na prostoru brodogradilišta radi 1150 radnika. “Ako dođemo do razine da imamo 50 posto prihoda iz izvanbrodograđevnih djelatnosti, onda smo se približili dugoročnoj održivosti”, smatra Tramontana.
