Seakeeping
Potentially challenging due to combined performance requirements in open water and iceAnalyzed with ShipMo PC, ShipMo 3D and recent model testsRetractable active fin stabilisersEvaluated against NATO STANAG 4154Seakeeping requirements were evaluated at Sea State 6 for transit, fuelling, and boat launch and recovery; Sea State 5 for boarding operations; and Sea State 3 for helicopter operationsSeakeeping requirements were found to be feasible with limited slamming, wetness, and motion induced interruptions, no propeller emergence, and no operational restrictions.

Aviation Facilities
The AOPS is equipped with aviation facilities to support:• Landing, stowing, refueling, and minor maintenance of a Bell
212 or 412• Landing, stowing, refueling, and minor maintenance of a
CH148 Cyclone• Landing and refueling of a CH149 Cormorant
The AOPS has a flight deck, fixed hangar, flight deck fire fighting capabilities, and night / limited visibility flight control capabilities.Flight operations are up to Sea State 3.

Combat and Navigation Systems
AOPS is a naval ship but is not considered a combatant. The Multipurpose Operations room will not be continually manned when ship is at sea.The AOPS has a small caliber gun for sovereignty enforcement, two machine guns, and weapons lockers.Use of Commercial Off The Shelf Equipment to be maximized.Design to promote efficient use of limited manpower resources. Software development to be minimized. Multi-function workstations to be utilized.Communications System to be integrated with LAN.

Propulsion System
AC-AC Diesel-electric Twin Screw Propulsion System• 3.8m prop dia, 1m hub, bolt on blades.• 400mm shaft, 450mm propeller shaft – PC5.
4500 kW per Shaft• Motors are capable of 150% over torque during ice
breaking/interactions4 x 3300 kW diesel gensets; IMO Tier 3 with SCR
• Although some benefits with father/son configuration; commonality of components for support won out
• Many engines in this power rangePMSR* Propulsion System Redundancy
• Each shaft line is completely segregated for fire/flood risks

Support Systems – Cold Temperature Protection
24/02/2012 | Page 27
Machinery and personnel support systems were developed with Winterization rules and the need to withstand -29°C
Tank heating, trace heating, reduced ventilation in extreme cold.
Extensive use of recovered heat from engine cooling circuits and exhaust recovery boiler for HVAC and tank heating.
Covered mooring flat with blast heaters sized to de-ice the deck above.
Machinery space ventilation heat recovery.
Deck de-icing to meet Winterization requirements.
