FOREWORD EDITORIAL

AN ISLAND OF CONTROLLED GROWTHTOWARDS THE TOP-LEAGUE OF YARDS

Dear Colleagues,

During the last 2-3 years our yard has been through a process of

adjusting to the new harsh market conditions, which after 5-6 years

of recession show few signs of improvement. Shipping in general

is still suffering from slow growth and overcapacity in most major

sectors and the shipbuilding industry is even worse off, especially

for yards producing big cargo vessels. These yards are now alsogoing for smaller projects like we produce here in Galati resulting

in increased competition.

We have addressed this challenge in several ways. First we realized

that we have to focus on more specialized vessels in order to have

a chance to attract orders. Secondly we aimed for turn-key projects

with full completion at DSGa, no matter the effort required, and

finally, we put strong focus on the basics of our industry: increased

education and training of our people, professional high quality

work, delivery in time, client satisfaction and not the least: strict

cost control. This was combined with the strategic goal of

Controlled Growth in order to bring our business back to

healthy levels.

After years of hard work within both the Yard and among our

co-makers we now start to see the realization of that goal: steady

improvements financially DSGa is now again debt-free with a

safe positive result as well as productivity and quality-wise in the

last years. However, around us nothing has changed; we are as

one of a few islands of a sustainable controlled growth in a very

turbulent sea of shipbuilding. With an order book reaching now

more than a year ahead we have proven that it ispossible to

maintain a healthy yard in these times, but, there is little time to

rest on the laurels. Our island must be maintained and expanded

and we still have several issues that need addressing: next leap in

productivity, improved control of co-maker works and outfitting

not the least the paint activities, enhanced finish awarenessand continued improvements in commissioning, all this while

investing in the future and at the same time maintaining strict

cost control.

Together we have achieved good results and I encourage you

to spend a l ittle time appreciating and celebrate our results

with colleagues.

Thereafter we will continue the work towards the next goal:

expand our position into high-end shipbuilding and make the next

moves towards entering into the real top-league of yards.

I maintain strong belief that we can do just that.

O INSULA A CRESTERII CONTROLATECATRE CLASAMENTUL DE TOP AL SANTIERELOR NAVALE

Stimai colegi,

n ultimii 2-3 ani, antierul nostru a parcurs un proces de ajustare la noile condiii

severe de pia care, dup 5-6 ani de recesiune, prezint cteva semne de

ameliorare. Domeniul maritim n general, sufer nca din pricina creterii

greoaie i a excesului de capacitate n aproape toate sectoarele principale, iar

industria construciilor navale se afl ntr-o situaie chiar mai dificil, n special

acele antiere care construiesc cargouri mari. Aceste antiere se orienteazacum ctre proiecte mai mici cum sunt cele realizate aici n Galati, ceea ce

conduce la o cretere a concurenei.

Noi am ncercat s facem fa acestei provocri n mai multe feluri. Mai nti,

am neles c trebuie s ne axm pe nave mai specializate pentru a avea anse

s atragem comenzi. n al doilea rnd, ne-am concentrat pe proiecte la cheie,

cu finalizare complet n cadrul SNDG, indiferent de eforturile necesare i n

final, am pus accent pe principiile de baz din industria noastr: creterea

pregtirii profesionale i instruirea angajailor, executarea de lucrri cu un grad

ridicat de calitate, livrarea la termen, satisfacia clientului i nu n ultimul rnd:

un control strict al costurilor. Acestea au fost combinate cu obiectivul nostru

strategic de Cretere Controlat pentru a readuce activitatea la cote pozitive.

Dup ani de munc susinut, att n antier ct i n rndul subcontractorilor,

ncepem acum s vedem realizarea obiectivului nostru: creteri economice

constante SNDG nu are n prezent datorii i nregistreaz un rezultat financiar

pozitiv sigur precum i n termeni privind productivitatea i calitatea din

ultimii ani. Totui, n jurul nostru nimic nu s-a schimbat; noi suntem doar una

dintre puinele insule cu o cretere controlat durabil ntr-o mare turbulent

care caracterizeaza construciile navale. Avnd un portofoliu care acoper

capacitatea noastr de ncrcare pentru mai mult de un an de-acum ncolo, am

dovedit ca este posibil s avem un antier prosper n aceste vremuri, ns

timpul nu ne permite s ne culcm pe laurii victoriei. Insula noastr trebuie

meninut i extins iar noi nc avem numeroase probleme care trebuie

rezolvate: pasul urmtor legat de productivitate, perfecionarea controlului la

nivelul lucrrilor executate de subcontractori i a celor de saturare nu n

ultimul rnd activitile de vopsitorie, contientizarea ntr-o mai mare msurasupra finalizrii produsului i continuarea mbuntirilor pe partea de

commissioning toate acestea odat cu investiii viitoare i n acelai timp

meninerea unui control strict asupra costurilor.

mpreun am obinut rezultate bune i v ncurajez s v rezervai ceva mai

mult timp pentru a aprecia i srbtori rezultatele noastre mpreun cu

colegii. Prin urmare, ne vom continua eforturile pentru atingerea urmtorului

obiectiv: obinerea unei poziii de vrf pe pia i implementarea urmtorilor

pai ctre dobndirea unuia dintre primele locuri n clasamentul de top a

antierelor navale.

mi pstrez cu trie convingerea c putem ntr-adevr ndeplini acest el.

Nici copiii angajailor nu au fost uitai. Pentru ei s-a organizat un concurs de

desene pe asfalt, intitulat VREAU S FIU NAVALIST. Micuii au fost foarte

ncntai i creativi pe tema aleas. Ctigtorul a fost Marius Eni, n vrst de

9 ani. La sfrit, toi copiii au primit ngheat. Dac i ntrebm pe ei, sigur i-ar

dori s fie mai des Ziua Navalitilor, nu doar o dat pe an!

A CELEBRATION IN GOOD CHEER AND CONTESTS

This year, according to tradition, shipbuilders celebrated their anniversary on

10-th of August, in the main parking area. The artistic program was provided by

Faimosii band, dancing and good-will being contagious. Everybody enjoyed

Romanian grilled meat balls and beer in abundance but the contests were

the attraction of the day. The winners of one of them, the bicycle contest,

shipbuilders showing they have both physical condition and desire to perform

in any field, are:

n 1st place: Prvu Victor, assembly workshop, hull building division 1An 2nd place: Rosu Marian, assembly workshop, hull building division 1A

n 3rd place: Mihalache Adrian, piping workshop .

Employees children have been not forgotten. For them we organized a street

drawing contest named I WANT TO BECOME A SHIPBUILDER. The little

children were very excited and creative on the chosen theme. The winner was

Marius Eni, 9 years old.

After the contest all children received ice cream. If you ask them, they would

definitely wish to organize the Shipbuilders Day more often, not only once a

year!

GOOD IDEAS ARE REWARDED

Quality Improvement Form is widespread and used by Damen

Shipyards Galati employees who want to come up with proposals

for improving either quality or technological processes or other

operations performed in the production departments.

Such proposals are submitted to a commission which analyze

them, then decide if they can be or not applied in practice. Those

accepted are also rewarded with 50 RON, fact already known by

our employees. In case these proposals have a real contributionand results according to expectations, QIF of the month and

respectively, QIF of the year are selected and rewarded

accordingly.

This year 17 proposals have been recorded until now out of

which 11 have been accepted and will be applied. The range of

proposals is vast, from devices for measuring the depth of surface

defects or fastening anchor winches up to modalities to build

outside scaffolding on the vessel or certain mobile welding

machines.

Applying them in practice means in fact important material and

time savings because these proposals came directly from those

who work with such equipment/procedures and understand very

well their functioning. Some of our employees whose proposals

have been accepted as QIF in 2013 are:

LIvrarea NaveI SIGrID

La sfritul lunii octombrie, a avut loc livrarea navei Sigrid, ctre

Compania Suedez de Management al Deeurilor Nucleare (SKB).

Destinaia principal a navei o constituie transportul reziduurilor nuclearede la centralele nucleare suedeze ctre depozitele SKB din Oskarshamn

i Forsmark. Nava poate transporta pn la 12 containere cu reziduuri

nucleare, dar i containere convenionale pentru mrfuri sau transportoare

speciale. La prima vedere, nava nu difer prea mult de o nav cargou

sau portcontainer uzual construite n antier. Speciale sunt, ns,

sistemele de detecie i cele de protecie mpotriva radiaiilor precum i

tot ceea ce nseamn sisteme de siguran i de securitate mpotriva

accesului neautorizat pe nav, declar Cristian Patriche, ef proiect,

adugnd: Ca o prim provocare pentru noi a fost turnarea betonului

pe nav. Avnd o compoziie special, recomandat n vederea filtrrii

radiaiilor gamma i cu neutroni, prepararea i livrarea acestui beton,

corelat i cu perioada n care s-au fcut turnrile, a reprezentat o activitate

contra cronometru i anevoioas pentru personalul din producie. O altlucrare atipic a fost construirea capacelor ponton ale magaziei de marf,

ceea ce a necesitat ntreaga atenie i ndemnare, att a muncitorilor,

ct i a personalului tehnic, referitor la tehnicile de sudare, astfel nct la

sfritul procesului s obinem un produs care se ncadreaz n cerinele

societii de clasificare i ale clientului navei.

DELIVERY OF SIGRIDAt the end of October, we delivered the Nuclear Cargo Vessel

Sigrid to the Swedish Nuclear Waste Management Company

SKB. The vessels main destination is transport of nuclear waste

from Swedish nuclear power plants to SKBs facilities in

Oskarshamn and Forsmark. The vessel can transport up to

12 nuclear waste containers but also standard cargo containers

or special trucks.

At first sight, the vessel is not so different from a regular cargo

vessel or port-container built in our shipyard. What makes itspecial are the detection systems and those for protection against

radiations as well as all systems for safety and security against

unauthorized access on board the vessel, states Cristian Patriche,

project manager, adding: One of the first challenges for us was

casting of concrete on the vessel. With a special composition

recommended for filtering of gamma and neutron radiations,

preparation and delivery of such concrete, correlated with casting

period, represented an against-the-clock task also very difficult

for the production staff.

Another uncommon activity was to build the pontoon covers for

the cargo hold which required our full attention and skills, both

of workers and technical staff, referring to the welding techniques,

so that by the end of process to obtain a product complying with

the requirements of the classification society and client.

SHIPBUILDERS PORTRAIT CLAUDIA CARP

Claudia Carp este, de ase ani, sudor-tubulator la secia Tubulatur a

antierului Naval Damen. A absolvit n 1995 Liceul Energetic, profilul

Limbi moderne. A urmat cursurile clasei de canto-muzic uoar, la

coala de Art, din cadrul Centrului Cultural Dunrea de Jos, subndrumarea profesoarei Margareta Kiss. Apoi a fost, timp de patru ani,

actri n compania particular de teatru Trianon. Pn acum ase ani

nu tia nimic despre tehnologia sudrii, iar astzi se numr printre cei

mai buni sudori n argon pe care i are antierul Naval Damen.

M-am acomodat destul de greu, pentru c eu habar nu aveam unde

vin, i ncepe Claudia povestea. Aveam 31 de ani cnd am aflat c

se fac angajri n antierul Naval, c se angajeaz i femei, pe post de

sudorie. Atunci m gndeam ct de mult curaj i trebuie unei femei s

fac o asemenea meserie. Am dat un interviu, am fost acceptat i astfel

a nceput o adevrat aventur. Nu m-am ateptat s fie ce este aici: e

greu, dar e i frumos.

Lucrez cu un colectiv foarte tnr, suntem aproape 30, iar cei de pe linia

mea sunt tineri, capabili, competeni i alctuim o echip foarte bine

nchegat. Suntem foarte buni, ce iese de pe urma noastr este chiar

art. n argon suntem doar dou sudorie, spune Claudia.

SUDURA N ARGON ESTE ARTA, AFIRMACLAUDIA CARPARGON WELDING IS ART, SAYS CLAUDIA CARP

Teoretic, nu este o meserie pentru femei. Practic, ns, Claudia

demonstreaz c aceasta e doar o prejudecat: Ca femeie, faci fa,

pentru c dac eti capabil s te concentrezi nu are cum s nu ias bine.

Suntem i noi la fel de inteligente ca i brbaii, suntem mai atente ladetalii, perfecioniste, rbdtoare, meticuloase. n primul rnd i trebuie

o foarte mare capacitate de concentrare i mult rbdare. i ia ani s

nvei s ajungi la un anumit nivel. Aici se cere perfeciune, suntem buni,

chiar foarte buni n domeniu. n argon se sudeaz tubulatura navei.

Sudm la presiuni uriae: sunt tot felul de instalaii de CO2, de ulei

termal, hidraulic. Deja 7 bari e o presiune destul de mare, dar s sudezi

pentru 450 de bari, spre exemplu, i s in, v dai seama c nu e de

glum. Se fac foarte multe teste, se dau la control roentgen i orice

imperfeciune se vede, afirm Claudia.

Meseria se fur, nu se nva: Am furat cte puin de la unul, de la altul,

de la toi cei pe care i-am admirat. n plus, mi-am btut foarte mult capul:

au fost luni n care am visat, noaptea, cum se face, att de mult m

preocupa acest domeniu. Noi ne difereniem de sudorii n argon din alte

ri prin viteza mare de lucru i prin precizie. Experiena i spune

cuvntul. n timp, ne perfecionm. Adevrul este c sudm foarte mult.

CLAUDIA CARP

Claudia Carp is welder-pipe fitter at Piping Division of Damen

Shipyards Galati for six years. In 1995 she graduated from

Energetic High-school, profile Modern languages. She attended

cantopopular music courses at the School of Arts of Dunarea

de Jos Cultural Association, under professor Margareta Kiss

guidance. Coming four years she was an actress at the theatre

private company Trianon. Until six years ago, she knew nothing

about welding technology but today she is one of the best

argon welders of Damen Galati.

I have settled in pretty hard because I had no idea where I was

coming, begins her story Claudia. I was 31 years old when I

found out that Damen Galati hires new employees and women

could also apply for as welders. At that time I was thinking how

much courage does a woman need to practice such job. I was at

the interview, I was accepted and thus, a real adventure began.

I didnt expect anything of what I found here: it is difficult but

beautiful.

I work in a very young team, we are approximately 30 and those

on my line are young, capable, competent and we make a very

strong team together. We are very good, what comes out from

our hands is indeed art. We are only two welders-women in

argon, says Claudia.

In theory, this is not a job for a woman. But practically, Claudia

proves this is only a prejudice: As a woman, you can cope with,

because if you are capable to focus its impossible to fail. We are

as intelligent as men but pay more attention to details, we are

perfectionist, enduring and meticulous. First, you need high

focusing capacity and much patience. It takes years to learn

getting to a certain level. This involves perfection, we are good,

even very good in the field. The ships piping is argon welded.

We weld at huge pressures: there are different types of CO,

thermal oil and hydraulic systems. 7 bars is a pretty high pressure

enough but to do it at 450 bars, for instance, and welding resists,

you can imagine this is no joke. Many tests are made followed

by roentgen control and any imperfection is thus detected,

states Claudia.

Job is stolen, not taught: I stole a little from one, from another

and from all those I admired. Moreover, I was thinking very hard:

there were months that I dreamed at night how to do it, so much

was my mind concerned about this job. We are different from the

argon welders in other country in terms of high working speed

and precision. Experience says the word. In time, we improveourselves. Truth is that we weld very much.

The hardest time was in the beginning: First I learned manual

electrical welding. Then, after a while, I switched to MIG-MAG

where I proved to be quick-handed. But I was seeing aged

workers welding in argon and was wondering if I would be able

to put the wire in electrode without suffering an electric shock,

remembers Claudia. Her professional satisfactions are obtained

when she is gets the work well done: When I look inside the pipe

and see the ring-type penetration, I am very happy. Whenever I

see its art well yes, then I can say I am fully satisfied. I continually

self-improve myself and all the time I want to be better. It depends

in life as you set, no matter what you do: if you start from the

idea that you cannot do something, that its not for you, then of

course you cannot succeed. But if you do things with love and

passion, then for sure they will work out.

As an actress, Claudia learned that a teams value is given by the

cohesion between its members. She currently applies this in the

team she is part of: Damen is, in my opinion, the most serious

company, with very competent and special people, says Claudia

Carp, who qualified two time at the national phase of the Health

and Safety contest where she won in 2012 the I-st prize at giving

first aid and this year, in April, the second Mention at the individual

health and safety contest.

manual. Dup un timp am trecut la MIG-MAG, unde mi-a mers mna.

Dar vedeam muncitori vechi care sudau n argon i m ntrebam dac

eu sunt n stare s pun srma n electrod fr s m electrocutez, iamintete Claudia. Satisfaciile sale profesionale sunt cnd are

mulumirea lucrului bine fcut: Cnd m uit n interiorul evii i vd

ptrunderea gen verighet am o mare satisfacie. Cnd vd c iese

art da, atunci pot spune c sunt mulumit. M autoperfecionez

continuu, tot timpul mi propun s fiu mai bun. Depinde, n via, cum

te setezi, indiferent ce ai face: dac porneti de la ideea c nu poi s

faci un lucru, c nu e de tine, nu are cum s-i ias. Dar dac faci

lucrurile cu drag i cu pasiune, atunci sigur i ies bine.

Ca actri, Claudia a nvat c valoarea unei echipe este dat de

coeziunea membrilor ei. n prezent, aplic acest lucru n colectivul din

care face parte: Damen este, n opinia mea, cea mai serioas companie,

cu oameni foarte serioi, oameni deosebii, mai spune Claudia Carp,

care s-a calificat de dou ori la faza naional a Concursului de protecia

muncii, unde a ctigat, n 2012, Premiul I la acordarea primului ajutor,

iar anul acesta, n aprilie, Meniunea a doua la concursul individual de

protecia muncii.
