New Jubilee lifeboat ready for any action A NEW lifeboat is ready to serve the coastline near Eastbourne including the Birling Gap and Pevensey Bay areas.

The Tamar class lifeboat called ‘Diamond Jubilee’ will become the town’s new all-weather lifeboat after all members of the volunteer crew passed final assessments with RNLI inspectors on Wednesday evening, June 27. Many of the volunteer crew took either unpaid leave or used their holiday entitlement to complete their training at the RNLI College at Poole, afloat on extended passages and in home waters.

Mark Sawyer, coxswain and training co-ordinator, said: “This level of commitment from our volunteers demonstrates the dedication they have to saving lives at sea and they are a credit to themselves and indeed the whole town.” The official naming ceremony of the new boat will be conducted by their Royal Highnesses the Earl and Countess of Wessex at Sovereign Harbour on July 5. The outgoing 18-year-old lifeboat, ‘The Royal Thames’ will soon enjoy a new lease of life. She is to be transported to RNLI headquarters at Poole on Friday where two new engines are waiting to be installed. Then she will be taken to the RNLI’s newest lifeboat station at Leverburgh on the Isle of Harris to be

welcomed by her new crew. The Eastbourne station has celebrated more than 185 years as a lifeboat station serving the local population and also operates an inshore D-Class lifeboat ‘Laurence and Percy Hobbs’. Source : Sussexexpress

Tackling the piracy threat There’s been a spate of anti-piracy gatherings. The United Arab Emirates hosted its second such international conference-A Regional Response to Maritime Piracy: Enhancing Public-Private Partnerships and Strengthening Global Engagement-over 27-28 June in Dubai. A global conference in Turkey in early June preceded this. Even as that was in play, India’s national security adviser Shivshankar Menon addressed a high-level global meeting in St Petersburg, Russia, that focused on anti-piracy ways and means. In several respects, piracy-specifically, piracy off the Somali coast and Gulf of Aden-has come home to India. Even as Menon delivered his address, 43 India sailors were held hostage by pirates. This is a key global shipping channel that links Asia with Europe. A little further to the east is the Persian Gulf. Nearly 90% of India’s oil imports move through this zone. The danger, which Menon called “a growing industry” in his presentation, is increasingly immediate, with expansion last year of the definition of the high-risk area related to piracy. It has expanded from the 65th meridian east to the 78th meridian east, which covers the entire west coast of India; and effectively covers the sea lanes that skirt Sri Lanka. A handsome chunk of Indian and global merchant traffic travels here. Piracy buffets India in several ways. One, of course, is the threat to Indian-owned shipping, India-centric cargos carried by ships flying flags of other

http://www.vlierodam.nl/�



nations, and to Indian sailors. Increased insurance costs for shipping, cargo and personnel follow. (Oceans Beyond Piracy, a US-based organization, estimates a $7 billion global economic cost in 2011 on account of Somali piracy.) The second is: dealing with piracy and hostage-taking on the high seas. The Indian Navy contributes to patrolling efforts, and has in the past three years escorted more than 2,000 ships-one-tenth of these Indian flag carriers-along the high-risk Internationally Recommended Transit Corridor in the Gulf of Aden. This has led to prevention of several piracy attempts, and capture and eventual incarceration of over a hundred Somali pirates in Indian jails. This is a complication: as yet there is no specific anti-piracy law in India, and so, the Indian Penal Code and Code of Criminal Procedure are being applied to these prisoners. The third factor is of piracy having emerged as an organized industry. An estimated $160 million was paid to Somali pirates as ransom in 2011. Indian security mandarins stress the “transnational dimensions” of Somali piracy; and point to evidence that suggests pirates have data on the movement of targeted vessels and on-board security arrangements, pointing to transcontinental links with security companies and financial operators, which financiers of piracy-the moneybags, as it were-seamlessly team with. Besides, Al Qaeda derivatives in nearby Yemen and the radical Islamist-controlled parts of southern Somalia (a concern here is Al-Shabaab, a Somali jihadist group), are suspected of using piracy to generate funds and followers. At home, India has attempted to plug legal loopholes: the government has introduced the Piracy Bill, 2012, in Parliament. It covers acts of piracy against ships on the high seas as well as within India’s 2 million-plus square kilometres of exclusive economic zone. The Bill proposes life imprisonment and, in certain cases, death. Abetting piracy will attract up to 14 years in jail in addition to fines. (There is as yet no globally acceptable legal framework for anti-piracy action.) But piracy needs primarily to be fought abroad, and collectively, and to that end Indian official thinking has been to make common cause. India is a supporter of the United Nations-blessed African Union Mission in Somalia to which India contributed $3 million. Besides sanitizing the Somali coastline, the effort is also to ensure that local populations-impoverished fisher folk, for example-do not feel the need to take to piracy. The combination of stick and carrot has worked a great deal in the Straits of Malacca, another cradle of piracy. This dovetails with the breakthrough meet this past February, the London Conference on Somalia. It was attended by UK Prime Minister David Cameron, US secretary of state Hillary Clinton, UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon, East African nations-and leaders from Somalia’s Transitional Federal Government as well as of some breakaway regions, including the pirate havens of Puntland and Somaliland. The conference tried to work peace deals, development, and legal issues that include extradition, incarceration and prosecution of pirates. Indian authorities are now hoping to take the regional lead in such matters. Source: LiveMint

Hapag owner sees rival as ideal partner German shipping company Hamburg Sud would be an "ideal" merger partner to help vault rival Hapag-Lloyd into

the top tier of shipping companies, a big shareholder in Hapag-Lloyd told Wirtschaftswoche magazine.

"Only a merger can hoist the shipper (Hapag) back into the lead group alongside Denmark's Maersk and Switzerland's MSC," Klaus-Michael Kuehne told the magazine. Kuehne is a leader of the Albert-Ballin consortium of investors, which holds nearly 78 percent of Hapag-Lloyd.

Hapag's other main shareholder is TUI AG, with a stake of just over 22 percent. Hamburg Sued is Germany's largest privately owned shipping company and part of the family owned conglomerate Oetker group. Kuehne, who is also majority owner of Swiss logistics group Kuehne & Nagel, said he aimed to remain a long-term shareholder in Hapag after the shipper's initial public offering, planned for 2013.

If Hapag were to require a capital increase that would lead to a dilution of his stakeholding, Kuehne would increase his investment in the company to ensure he maintained a blocking minority stake of 25 percent, he said. Kuehne said he had already reached an understanding to that effect with politicians in the city state of Hamburg, which is also part of the Albert-Ballin consortium.

"It is important to me to secure the long-term independence of the shipping company in Hamburg," Kuehne is quoted by the magazine as saying in a story released in advance of publication on Monday. TUI, which also controls Europe's largest tour operator TUI Travel, tried to float a stake in Hapag-Lloyd last year but the effort failed due to market



turbulence in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. In April, a source close to Hapag's owners told Reuters that Hapag was in no hurry to float. Source : Reuters

Iran Offers to Ship Crude to South Korea on its Own Oil Tankers

Iran offered to supply oil to South Korea on its own tankers as the European Union moves to stop shippers from getting insurance for cargoes from the Persian Gulf nation, according to a government official in Seoul. The South Korean government is still discussing how it will deal with EU sanctions on Iran that take effect July 1, said the official

http://www.multraship.com/�



who asked not to be identified because the matter is confidential. An official at the National Iranian Oil Co.’s office in Singapore declined to comment or be named. South Korea, which imports all of its crude, may halt purchases from Iran after it failed to win an exemption from the EU ban, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy said in a statement June 26. The sanctions mean 95 percent of the world’s tankers may lose insurance if they carry cargo from the Persian Gulf state because they’re covered by the 13 members of the London-based International Group of P&I Clubs. Japan’s parliament passed a bill last week to provide $7.6 billion of sovereign guarantees to its tanker owners that ship Iranian oil as it seeks to maintain imports from the country.

Malaysia Need 43,000 More Seamen To Remain Competitive

Malaysia need 43,000 seamen for the booming local shipping industry which is crucial for her international commerce. Malaysian Marine Department director-general Datuk Capt Ahmad Othman said, currently, there were 49,000 local seamen in the local shipping industry while another 43,000 places were filled by foreign seamen. He said this to reporters after launching the 2012 National Seaman Day Celebration. He said among the benefits that could be obtained as a seaman was visiting foreign countries, wherever and wherever their ships docked, without needing visas. They only use their Seafarers' Identity Documents issued by the Marine Department, valid for five years for local seamen, and one year for foreign nationals working on Malaysian ships, he said.

Sri Lanka Navy thwarts another human smuggling attempt

The Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) has foiled another human smuggling attempt when it intercepted a vessel bound for Australia yesterday off the Western coast of the island. A Sri Lanka Navy Fast Attack Craft on Friday has intercepted a multiday fishing trawler bound for Australia with nine people on board in the seas off the coastal town of Negombo, about 20 miles north of Colombo. According to initial investigations carried out by the Navy, the trawler was to pick up more people onboard at different locations for the illegal journey to Australia. The trawler had been found with a large stock of food items, water bottles and personnel belongings of the passengers stacked inside.

The Navy has handed over the arrested persons and the seized trawler to the Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation. Sri Lanka's west coast has lately become a hub for illegal migration activities and the Sri Lankan authorities have foiled several illegal migration attempts in the fast few months. Sri Lankan authorities earlier this month arrested 80 people including some foreign nationals who were allegedly attempting to migrate to Australia. Last month Colombo Fraud Bureau of Sri Lanka Police arrested 119 persons including seven traffickers who were attempting to illegally sail to Australia in a fishing trawler. Source : ColomboPage



Sharp increase in cruise vessels sailing north Cruise vessels will make more than 400 port calls to northern Norway and Svalbard this season, up

nearly 40 percent from last year.

More than 2.000 passengers are ready to overcrowd the harbor in Honningsvåg as the large cruise vessel "Costa Pacifica" cruises around the largest tourist trap in Northern Norway, the North Cape. "Costa Pacifica" is just one of the many international cruise liners sailing northern waters this summer.

While cruise vessels made 315 port calls to harbors in northern Norway and Svalbard in 2011, a total of 415 port calls are expected this year, shows the figures from the bulletin of the cruise

port businesses. Most of the vessels sail in the period from late June to mid August, the season of the Midnight Sun. North Cape and Tromsø are the two single most popular cruise harbors in the north, with more than 110.000 passengers each this year. Also Svalbard and Lofoten experience a sharp increase in visits from cruise vessels. In addition to the estimated 340.000 passengers sailing northern Norway onboard foreign-flagged cruise vessels, tens of thousands of tourists visit the north onboard Hurtigruten, Norway's own coastal steamer sailing from Bergen to Kirkenes every day.

Baltic index up on panamax, capesize rates The Baltic Exchange's main sea freight index, which tracks rates for ships carrying dry commodities, rose on Friday, buoyed by higher panamax and capesize vessel rates. The main index, which factors in the average daily earnings of capesize, panamax, supramax and handysize dry bulk transport vessels, rose 10 points or 1.01 percent to 1,004 points.

http://www.tos.nl/�



The Baltic's panamax index gained 16 points or 1.65 percent to 984 points on Friday. Average daily earnings for panamaxes, which usually transport 60,000 to 70,000 tonne cargoes of coal or grains, rose to $7,835. The Baltic's capesize index climbed 0.51 percent to 1,190 points. "Steady enquiry in the Atlantic basin created some optimism in the market, however rates remain unchanged despite this," ship broker Braemar Seascope Ltd said in its weekly report. However, earnings for capesizes, which typically transport 150,000 tonne cargoes such as iron ore and coal, have fallen about 85.5 percent this year. "Mining exports worldwide are generally up significantly for Q2 year-on-year and yet rates languish at these current levels. With a large number of Capes still to be delivered this year, many are beginning to question any form of Q4 rally at all," Braemar Seascope said. Growing ship supply has been outpacing commodity demand for quite sometime now and is widely expected to cap dry bulk freight rate gains in the coming months. The overall index, which gauges the cost of shipping commodities such as iron ore, cement, grain, coal and fertiliser has fallen about 42 percent this year. Source: Reuters

Titan Salvage says Costa Concordia removed by early in New Year

The American marine salvage company that is working to refloat the Costa Concordia, says work is going well. Initial reports suggested the boat would be gone by the spring of 2013, but Titan Salvage said it will be earlier. Titan, working with Micoperi of Italy, is refloating the boat and will then tow it away to an as yet undetermined port to be scrapped. Their timeline now says that the boat should be fully removed from the waters off the shore of the Italian island of Giglio early in the New Year. There will be further work at that time to clean debris from the ocean floor.

Refloating the Costa Concordia

Richard Habib, a vice-president and a managing director of Titan Salvage was in Rome last Friday when he told media work was going well and that the ship should be upright and ready to be towed out as early as the end of January. A Dutch film company, Prorama, has a camera in place on the shore and is filming the entire salvage operation. Company director Bo de Visser, says they will create time-lapse movies of the boat's refloating and removal. They have a website, The Last Salute, where a live feed of the activities around the ship can be viewed during daylight hours. Thirty-two people died in the Jan. 13 tragedy when the ship was taken too close to shore and hit a rock, tearing a 70 meter hole in the hull. She listed, partially sank, and has been there since. Her captain, Francesco Schettino, faces multiple charges in the disaster. Source : digitaljournal

Concordia owners sued over wrecked ship's 'design flaw'

A US law firm said Tuesday it is suing Carnival, the American owner of the cruise liner shipwrecked off Italy this year, for allegedly leading its designers to sacrifice safety for profits. The Eaves law firm said it was suing for punitive damages in California over the design of the doomed luxury Costa Concordia and hoped that a win would see all similarly designed cruise ships declared unseaworthy.

"This morning we filed a claim for punitive damages against Carnival and the architects who designed the Concordia, for purposefully ignoring safety to maximise profit," lawyer John Arthur Eaves told a Rome press conference. Eaves, who said he is part of a collective of lawyers representing around 150 claimants from the liner, said the ship's design was fatally flawed "because it was top-heavy and had a propensity to roll". "The sad tragedy is the race to build the biggest ship with the shallowest hulls and room for the most passengers. When will it stop? We decided we must file this complaint to stop a race which is d estroying safety," he said. The firm alleges Carnival "controlled or at least heavily influenced the design of the MV Costa Concordia to suit its commercial needs as opposed to best or even good marine practices." It also brought legal proceedings against the architects, named simply as "John Does", for "designing the vessel to maximize passenger carrying capacity, but at the expense of seaworthiness, and passenger safety." "The ship's shallow draught, the area below the waterline, made it unstable, so that it tilted quickly over and many lifeboats became useless," Eaves said.

The 114,500-tonne ship -- more than twice the size of the Titanic which sank in 1912 -- ran aground on January 13 with 4229 people from 60 countries on board. A total of 32 people were killed, many trapped as the ship rolled.

Lifeboats on one side of the ship failed to deploy because of the tilt, leading dozens to throw themselves into the sea in the night, several of whom died while others were injured in the fall into the freezing waters. Eaves said the ship's designers had "followed outmoded standards" for a vessel that size, adding that he hoped a win on this case would force the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) to bring in up-to-date rules. "The problem at the moment is that the IMO's rules are just guidelines. There are no punitive consequences for those who flaunt the rules," he said.

The suit calls on the court to award plaintiffs "at least $US10 million and punitive damages" and Eaves said he expects a ruling within a year. Should the court find the corporation guilty of using a dangerous design for the Concordia, the ruling may mean "a significant if not majority of the existing cruise fleet would be suspended," he said. "We have filed this complaint with a great sense of urgency. As things stand at the moment, we're simply sending empty coffins out to sea, just waiting for tragedies to happen," he said.

US Ship with toxic past anchors near Alang

The infamous oil tanker that spilled crude oil off the Alaskan coast 23 years ago, anchored a little past 7 am on Saturday, about six nautical miles off the Bhavnagar coast. More than a dozen officials from various government agencies led by the Customs department went boarded the MV Oriental N (formerly Exxon Valdez) for an inspection to see if there were any contraband or hazardous wastes on board . Officials immediately began filing their inspection reports thereafter. The Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) is expected to have the report by Monday.

Officials who went on board, reported that the 15-member, all-Indian crew led by Lobo Menville, were doing fine and had enough stock of food, fresh water and other essentials with them. The ship anchored more than 50 days later

http://www.fairplay-towage.com/�



than expected because of the pending Supreme Court case. The officials also claimed that the vessel was “clean and well-maintained” and “contained no so-called waste”. The ship was reportedly converted from an oil tanker to an ore carrier in 2008 and was to reach the Alang Ship Recycling Yard for dismantling.

Some foreign newspapers had reported that the ship was headed towards Alang a few months ago. In May, Delhi-based environmental activist Gopal Krishna of Toxics Watch Alliance filed a petition in the apex court asking MV Oriental N’s entry be stopped and an international Basel Convention be upheld. On May 7, the court ordered that the vessel’s approach be halted till the time government agencies filed their replies. Authorities with jurisdiction over the yard also postponed granting permission. Later, a vacation bench of the SC also refused to grant the ship permission to anchor, although the owners argued there was no hazardous material on board. Source : Indianexpress

Malaysia minister denies French sub graft claims

Malaysia's defence minister on Tuesday denied allegations that a classified ministry report was sold to a French firm to land a controversial submarine deal. Prime Minister Najib Razak has previously dismissed graft allegations linked to the $1.1-billion submarine purchase in 2002, when he was defence minister, saying it is an opposition-backed attempt to smear his image. But in recent months, Malaysia's online media have been aflutter with new “evidence” that opposition-leaning rights group Suaram and its lawyers say has been turned up by French judges probing the case. The claims come at a sensitive time for Najib, who is preparing for elections, which he is expected to call soon. They include an allegation that a classified Malaysian defence ministry report on the country's naval needs was sold to submarine maker Thales, possibly to help the French firm land the $1.1 billion deal. Malaysian Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, responding to opposition allegations of abuse, told parliament late Tuesday that no confidential information leaked out, and the deal was done through “direct negotiations in accordance with procurement procedures”.

http://www.maasmondmaritime.com/�



“To the best knowledge of the ministry, up to now there is no information detected to have been taken out of Malaysia,” he said. “The ministry has never paid any commission directly or indirectly to any companies in the procurement of the Scorpene submarines.”At the request of Suaram, French judicial officials opened an investigation in March 2010 into the sale of the two Scorpene submarines, which were made by French shipbuilder giant DCNS. Suaram alleges DCNS, which is part-owned by Thales, paid a commission of 114 million euros ($142 million in current terms) to a company called Perimekar, which is linked to Abdul Razak Baginda, an associate of Najib's. On Monday, Asia Sentinel published 133 documents, obtained from the French inquiry, which showed securing the deal “has resulted in a long tangle of blackmail, bribery, influence peddling, misuse of corporate assets and concealment, among other allegations”, the news portal said. It also alleged top French and Malaysian officials, including then foreign minister Alain Juppe and former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, appear to have known of some of the “misdeeds” based on the documents. Suaram representative Cynthia Gabriel said the documents all seemed authentic. Suaram's lawyer Joseph Breham could not immediately be reached to verify this. The Malaysian government has long maintained that the submarine deal, brokered when Najib was defence minister, was free of graft and that Perimekar had not improperly benefited. Abdul Razak, Najib's associate, has also been acquitted of charges of abetting the 2006 murder of his mistress, Mongolian interpreter Altantuya Shaariibuu, which the opposition has also been trying to link to Najib. But Najib has denied any link to that case. Two Malaysian policemen have been convicted for the murder and sentenced to death. Source : Timesonline.lk

U.S. Navy hosts huge military exercises in Hawaii

Some 25,000 sailors and other military personnel from 22 nations are converging on Hawaii starting Friday to practice hunting for submarines and catching pirates in the world's largest naval exercises. The U.S. Pacific Fleet is hosting the Rim of the Pacific exercises, which take place every two years in Hawaii and surrounding waters. Countries from Japan to Tonga and Russia to Chile are sending 42 surface ships, six submarines and 200 aircraft to participate in the series of drills, which takes place over the next five weeks.

Participants will train to clear mines, dispose of explosives and come to the aid of civilians in natural disasters, among other drills. Adm. Cecil Haney, the Pacific Fleet commander, said the drills help different nations prepare for emergencies. "It provides an opportunity for naval forces of like-minded countries to work together so that as things come up, we can more easily assemble and address things like humanitarian assistance, disaster relief," Haney told The Associated Press during a recent interview at his Pearl Harbor headquarters. The exercises, known as RIMPAC, date to 1971 but have expanded in recent years. Eight nations took part in 2006, 10 in 2008, and 14 two years ago.



This year's exercises come as the U.S. refocuses its attention on the Asia-Pacific region. In January, the Obama administration announced a new defense strategy to boost the country's presence in Asia because of the region's economic importance and China's rise as a military power. It aims to maintain American military pre-eminence worldwide even as the U.S. cuts spending to reduce the nation's deficit. As part of that strategy, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta earlier this month told a conference in Singapore the U.S. would assign 60 percent of its fleet to the Pacific Ocean by 2020. Currently, the Navy divides its roughly 285 ships equally between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Ralph Cossa, president of the Pacific Forum Center for Strategic & International Studies, a Honolulu-based think tank, said the drills show Panetta and the U.S. Pacific Command - which oversees all American forces in the region - are serious when they say readiness in the Pacific won't be affected by defense drawdowns. "What better way to prove that than holding the world's largest maritime exercise," Cossa said. "That's putting your money and your ships where you mouth is." One new part of the drills is the use of a cooking oil and algae biofuel blend to power some of the U.S. vessels and aircraft. The Navy is spending $12 million to buy 425,000 gallons of biofuel for the exercises. It's part of an effort to demonstrate the Navy can use biofuels to reduce its consumption of fossil fuels. The Navy has been investing heavily in technologies for algae, sugar and other crops so that biofuels will meet half of its fuel needs by 2020. The exercises end Aug. 3. Source : The Day

Navy seeks partnership on maritime security The Nigerian Navy has said it will welcome partnership with all stakeholders in the maritime industry to tackle security challenges in the sector. Rear Admiral Johnson Olutoyin, the Flag Officer Commanding (FOC) Central Naval Command, Yenagoa, stated this on Friday in Yenagoa at the end of a stakeholders meeting with the command. The Flag Officer said the meeting witnessed wider discussion segments where challenges in the sector were discussed at length.

He said the challenges included oil theft, bunkering, sea robbery and vandalisation of oil installations. Olutoyin said that for each of the security challenges, the meeting was able to identify measures to be taken by the oil companies themselves and the Naval Units within their areas of operation. “This is the first time that we are having an enlarged stakeholders' forum like this to interact with them so that they can tell us what their security challenges are," he said. “By working together, we can begin to evolve a strategy to combat our common security challenges. “We were able to identify common front on how best the oil companies, our units, the headquarters of the Central Naval Command and to a large extent what even the local communities could do to help ameliorate the situation." Olutoyin said that critical issues of security were the crux of the interaction which the Central Naval Command had with the representatives of the multi-national oil companies and other maritime stakeholders in the Navy’s Area of Responsibility (AOR).

According to him, the command expected that some of the decisions taken at the meeting would be abided by all stakeholders. Olutoyin said that part of the measures adopted was the provision of phone lines of naval operation rooms to enhance quick passage of information to enable the Navy respond urgently to emergency situations. A participant, Engr. Sunny Okoye, the Executive Director, Orient Oil and Gas Limited, commended the Navy leadership for initiating the stakeholders’ forum.

He said that resolutions reached at the meeting would go a long away in reversing the misfortunes of the maritime sector. Okoye said there had never been a forum like that where almost all stakeholders in the sector would come to identify their common problem and proffer necessary solutions. “This is the first of its kind where the Navy itself is coming out to set up a talk with stakeholders," he said. “Now we are seeing commonality of objectives and commonality of resources in a mutual resolve to tackle issues."

Contract tightens scrutiny on sub fleet maintenance

The Australian Submarine Corporation will be subject to closer scrutiny under a new five-year contract to service the nation's troubled Collins class submarine fleet. A Federal Government review of the fleet last year found serious flaws with the way the six vessels are maintained. At times, Australia had only one working Collins submarine.

The company signed a new rolling contract on Saturday, which is valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. Managing director Steve Ludlam says the new arrangements place greater emphasis on the company's performance. "What we've previously been doing is we've been working within what's called the cost plus environment; so every piece of work that we've done has been paid for," he said. "This performance-based contract actually requires us to deliver submarine availability, so essentially we're contracting for - in very simple terms - number of days at sea."

Mr Ludlam says the new contract will be good for both business and the Navy. "We've got to start measuring our performance and improve it over the period," he said. "We've done that in the last two and a half years. There's measurable and significant improvement and now we've formalised that in this performance-based contract." Meanwhile, Defence has unveiled the latest ship in its fleet.

In March, the Federal Government announced it had bought the ship, and on Saturday in Perth it launched the renamed Australian Defence Vessel Ocean Shield. It will join HMAS Tobruk and HMAS Choules to provide humanitarian and disaster relief. Defence Minister Stephen Smith says Ocean Shield will also undertake patrols of the Southern Ocean to detect any boats operating illegally in the region.

He also announced Australian personnel will take part in a training exercise with the Spanish Armada Ship SPS Cantabria next year. Mr Smith says the deployment of Cantabria will take place in February and strengthen bilateral ties between Spain and Australia. Source : abc.net

PSC Tema Shipyard To Play Key Role In Oil And Gas Industry

Alhaji Collins Dauda, Minister of Transport, has said government would soon adopt a new investment strategic plan that would transform the PSC Tema Shipyard Limited to meet the nation’s strategic objectives. Making the disclosure at the signing of the sales and purchase agreement at the company’s board room in Tema, between government and Penang, a Malaysian Company with 60 per cent majority shares in PSC Tema Shipyard, Alhaji Dauda explained that with the conclusion of the agreement and the transfer of Penang’s majority shares to government,

http://www.akfanchorchain.nl/�



government now becomes the sole shareholder of the company. He said on May 11, on the advice of the government’s negotiating team, Cabinet gave approval for an amount of 6.36 million dollars to be paid to Penang, with the breakdown as 5.120 million dollars to cover the 60 per cent shares, and another 1.240 million dollars in respect of discounted inter-company payables. Recounting the historical background on PSC’s divestiture and joint venture agreement, Alhaji Dauda said in 1996, government divested 60 per cent of its interest in PSC, as part of measures to improve the standard of operations in the shipyard. He said the joint venture agreement with Penang on November 8, 1996, came about as a result of government’s aim to acquire a strategic partner to help transform the shipyard into a modern and well-equipped facility.

Penang, he said, was charged to rehabilitate the shipyard and procure funding to meet costs of the rehabilitation and the completion of the refurbishment of the company. Alhaji Dauda expressed regret that 13 years after the agreement, this laudable vision had not been achieved and neither had the goals of the joint venture agreement been met. He said as a result, a Committee of Enquiry was set up in 2009 to investigate the operations of PSC and make recommendations for its performance improvement.

Alhaji Dauda said upon the Committee’s recommendation of the company’s strategic importance, government initiated a process that had culminated in the conclusion of arrangements for the transfer of the ownership of the company to the government and people of Ghana. The Minister said during the negotiations, government took into consideration the cordial bond of relationship between Ghana and Malaysia, which dates back to Ghana’s independence, and lauded the Government and people of Malaysia for their high sense of maturity and patience. He gave the assurance that with the exploration and production of oil and gas, “the new era has created opportunities, particularly in general engineering services, fabrication for offshore and repair works for oil drilling rigs, swamp barges and works associated with the oil and gas industry for the Shipyard.” These economic opportunities, he said, have enhanced the shipyard’s economic viability, which would naturally accelerate the Better Ghana Agenda. Mr. Seth Kugblenu, Executive Director of PSC Tema Shipyard, said after several years of the company being in the hands of expatriates, Ghanaians could now boast of their sole ownership. This he said, would usher in a new space to motivate workers of the company to give of their best to ensure its accelerated growth.

Successful naming and launch ceremony for ARTEMIS by IHC Merwede

IHC Merwede has successfully named and launched the self-propelled cutter suction dredger, ARTEMIS, in a ceremony on 30 June 2012 at its shipyard in Sliedrecht, The Netherlands.

The ARTEMIS, which is being manufactured for Van Oord, is one of the largest cutter suction dredgers ever built in The Netherlands for a Dutch dredging company.

The ceremony was performed by Mrs AB van den Driest-Sorgdrager, who is the wife of Mr CJ van den Driest, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Van Oord. The contract for the design, construction and delivery of the vessel was signed between Van Oord and IHC Dredgers, part of IHC Merwede, on 20 December 2010. The ship will be delivered in the first half of 2013.

The name is consistent with Van Oord’s tradition of naming its cutter suction dredgers after legends in Greek mythology. Artemis is known as the goddess of the hunt. A particular feature of this vessel is the spud carriage with hydraulic buffering which makes it possible to work for longer periods in bad weather. As a result of the close cooperation between Van Oord and IHC Merwede, much attention has been paid to the ergonomic design of the ARTEMIS. For example the deckhouse will be mounted on air springs to minimise noise and vibrations in the accommodation section. Towards the end of 2011, her sister ship ATHENA, was delivered to Van Oord and has since been successfully utilised on various projects. The construction of both vessels is having a positive impact on the Dutch economy. See the launch video ‘s

Orders of S. Korean shipbuilders halve in H1 Orders won by major South Korean shipbuilders halved in the first six months of the year from a year ago mainly due to the sluggish market in the midst of the European financial crisis, industry sources said Sunday. The country's three biggest shipbuilders -- Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. and Samsung Heavy Industries Co. -- clinched orders worth a combined US$17.3 billion during the January-June period, down 50.8 percent from a year earlier.

Hyundai Heavy Industries, last year's market leader, secured a mere $4.93 billion in orders over the six-month period, while Samsung Heavy landed shipbuilding deals worth $6.5 billion and Daewoo Shipbuilding won $5.87 billion worth of contracts, they added. The sharp decline in orders is mainly attributable to weakened demand in Europe, hit hard by severe debt problems, sources said.

The top three companies' orders from European buyers accounted for 57.5 percent of their total orders last year, but the rate fell to 39.9 percent in the first half of this year. "A drop in orders may affect our sales in coming years," said an official of a local shipbuilding company. "We will strive to win orders to build high value-added ships in the second half."

4,000 jobs at risk if Portsmouth’s shipbuilding base is closed

ALMOST 4,000 jobs would be lost if shipbuilding was axed at Portsmouth dockyard, according to a report published today.

The study – commissioned by local council and business leaders – examines three alternative futures for Portsmouth Naval Base at a time when its shipbuilding future is in doubt. In the worst case scenario, if BAE Systems was to pull out, it would have a massive knock-on effect on the area – resulting in huge job losses, and a hit to the region’s economy of £370m a year. BAE employs 1,500 ship builders in Portsmouth and a further 1,500 people working on the maintenance and repair work it does for the navy’s surface fleet.

But the report – commissioned by the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH), the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and University of Portsmouth – looks at the wider impact on the area, and shows how the region would be hit if the shipbuilding firm was to pull out of Portsmouth. The naval base overall generates annually £1.68bn for the local economy and supports nearly 20,000 jobs across south Hampshire, with 11,900 of those jobs in the base itself. The report makes clear: ‘Any change that impacts directly on the base is likely to have consequences throughout the (local) economy, even for sectors that are not commercially connected to it.’ Cllr Sean Woodward, chairman of PUSH, a body made up of local councils, hoped the report would make it clear to the government – and BAE – how crucial shipbuilding was to the local economy. The Fareham council leader said: ‘The completion of the report is v ery timely and it will help us in our campaign to secure the future of shipbuilding in Portsmouth and it confirms that this area is the premier global hub for defence and advanced manufacturing. The work also reinforces my long held view that the work of Portsmouth Naval Base lies at the heart of the south Hampshire economy.



‘Within this the defence sector is a key and highly valuable economic asset that we must preserve and build upon. ‘We will be showing the report to the government. ‘We have got very real concerns so we will be lobbying wherever we can, including of course BAE Systems. ‘We want to keep shipbuilding in Portsmouth – it’s important to so many aspects in the whole area.’ As reported in The News, a report commissioned by Defence Secretary Philip Hammond has been leaked which recommends that Portsmouth dockyard be closed. According to a national newspaper, Mr Hammond has been told that BAE operations in the dockyard should be shut down and the supercarrier warship programme delayed.

In January it was also revealed that BAE had hired LEK Consulting to examine the future of Portsmouth and two dockyards on the River Clyde.The shipbuilding giant is concerned that work would dry up once the second supercarrier, the Prince of Wales, was launched in 2018, with the Type 26 Global Combat Ship programme not starting until 2020. The leader of Portsmouth City Council, Gerald Vernon-Jackson, said: ‘Portsmouth is the home of the Royal Navy. ‘The UK has only ever built our advanced warships in the UK and this should continue. ‘The UK can no longer bid to build some ship like tankers as we no longer have the technical know-how.

‘Advanced warship design and construction is a strategic imperative for a country where more than 90 per cent of our imports come by sea. ‘If these trade routes were cut we would have no food to eat, fuel for our cars or goods in the shops. ‘There is a strategic need for advanced warship shipbuilding in the UK and the only other yards are in Scotland that may soon be an independent country.’ A BAE spokeswoman said: ‘We continue to work closely with the Ministry of Defence to explore all possible options to determine how best to sustain the capability to deliver complex warships in the UK in the future. ‘We are committed to keeping our employees and trade unions informed as this work progresses.’

Portsmouth Naval Base brings great benefits to all of South Hampshire The report, titled Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of Portsmouth Naval Base, highlights its importance to the region. The financial impact is huge – for very £1m directly generated by the base, it stimulates another £750,000 of spending in other sectors in the region’s economy. As of April 2012 Portsmouth is the base for 29 Royal Naval surface vessels and just under half the crews. It will also be the home‟ for the two new supercarriers. The base currently has about 11,900 full time staff, 60 per cent of them civilians. And it is very important to specific sectors. Within the LEP, the base supports 70 per cent of all shipbuilding jobs, 27 per cent of all property and facilities management jobs and 22 per cent of metal goods jobs.

Expenditure from the base also supports almost 7,900 additional full time jobs across the LEP, he main beneficiaries being in the financial and business services sector, public services and manufacturing. Source : Portsmouth.co

New jobs for Brooke Dockyard State-owned Brooke Dockyard & Engineering Works Corp has clinched two contracts worth RM102mil for the fabrication of an offshore jacket and construction of a 45m-long landing craft. Sarawak Infrastructure Development and Communications Minister Datuk Sri Michael Manyin said the RM90mil offshore jacket contract was awarded by Murphy Oil while the RM12mil landing craft contract came from Marine Department. He said the offshore jacket contract was part of a package worth RM500mil that included the fabrication of three offshore platforms. “Hopefully, Brooke Dockyard will secure the entire RM500mil contract to be delivered over two years,” he said after opening Brooke Dockyard's new Sejingkat yard office building near here yesterday. Manyin is t he minister in charge of Brooke Dockyard, which just turned 100 years old. Brooke Dockyard board member and technical advisor Zuraimi Sabki said it had just completed a RM160mil offshore module for Murphy, which is ready to be delivered and installed in Merapuh, offshore Bintulu. Founded by the third White Rajah Sir Charles Vyner Brooke in 1912 to repair his fleet of boats, Zuraimi said

Brooke Dockyard was one of the seven fabricators for the oil and gas (O&G) industry licensed by Petrolium Nasional Bhd.

Zuraimi said Brooke Dockyard had completed 15 offshore modules, 10 substructures and four offshore living quarters. Its clients included Petronas Carigali, Shell, Talisman and Exxon Mobil Exploration and Production Ltd, in addition to Murphy Oil. It has also built navigational boats, multi-mission vessels, ferries for marine engineering works and steel-arch bridges. Asked if Brooke Dockyard is to be privatised to enable it to expand and undertake bigger jobs, Manyin



said: “We have not gone to that level.” Over the years, there have been media reports singling out Brooke Dockyard as a potential takeover target as several parties have shown their interests.

Manyin said the Sarawak government had not received any formal proposal on Brooke Dockyard's privatisation. Brooke Dockyard chairman Datuk Abang Abdul Karim Tun Openg said the marine engineering entity was looking at various options, including renting the fabrication yard of other companies, to expand its capacity. “We are exploring our own yard to optimise its utilisation,” he added. Last November, Brooke Dockyard signed a memorandum of understanding with KKB Engineering Bhd for possible joint collaboration to undertake jacket and other structural steel fabrication activities for offshore O&G industry and marine sector.

The two parties may enter into joint venture or other forms of collaboration on businesses to be identified. It is understood that the framework for the proposed strategic alliance had been drawn up. KKB, whose core business is steel fabrication and manufacturing of steel pipes, had said that the tie-up might include the company leasing its waterfront land in Muara Tebas to Brooke Dockyard for its fabrication work for the O&G industry, with the exclusive rights given to KKB to carry out such works. Abang Karim said Brooke Dockyard had been building up its capabilities as a reliable fabricator of offshore modules comprising drilling platforms, gas compression/production modules, water injection platforms and living quarters. “Brooke Dockyard also has the capabilities to undertake turnkey projects for offshore development, fast-track projects, offshore host tie-in and hook-up and commissioning works, subsea fabrication, skid packages and onshore petro-chemical plants. “It maintains its traditional business as a shipbuilder for high-speed and modern boats, ship-repair total lifecycle service provider and mid-span bridge fabricator,” he added. Abang Karim said Brooke Dockyard had been structured to face the changing industry. He said that with its niche capabilities in shallow water sized modules as living quarters and with an integrated in-house engineering team, it aimed to become a project developer for offshore marginal oil fields in Malaysia.

MICT Berth 6 receives 10 new cranes Global port operator International Container Terminal Services Inc. said it has taken delivery of two new post-Panamax quay (QC) cranes and eight rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes for the new berth of its flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT). Berth 6, the latest addition to the wharves at the country’s biggest container terminal, is set to be inaugurated today at the MICT. Christian Gonzalez, ICTSI vice president and MICT general manager, said the equipment is part of the company’s $200 million worth of investments the port operator has made to develop the hub. “ICTSI remains committed not only to our contractual obligations with the Philippine government but also to our clients’ need for timely and efficient service and for an expanded terminal capacity to facilitate improving volumes at the MICT,” Gonzalez said in a statement. He said the cranes were made by the Chinese industrial and heavy equipment maker, Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry Co. Ltd. (ZPMC). With the delivery of the new equipment, MICT now has a total of 12 quay cranes. Each quay crane has a 65-ton full twin-lift capacity capable of lifting containers on 18-container-wide vessels. The twin-lift spreaders are manufactured by Stinis of the Netherlands. Gonzalez also said a third quay crane is scheduled for delivery soon. “A third QC is on order and is expected for delivery early next year. The RTGs, on the other hand, are manufactured by Cargotec of Finland,” Gonzalez said in the statement.

“The Berth 6 equipment will significantly boost operations and enhance terminal capacity. The QCs and RTGs we bought are among the top of the line in their class, and employ the latest and leading edge in port technology,” Gonzalez added. In 2008, ICTSI commenced construction of Berth 6 as part of the company’s contractual commitment to the Philippine Ports Authority and in response to continuing growth of volume at the MICT. The new berth has a 300-meter straight wharf with a controlling depth or draft of 12 meters. The berth could be extended by a further 300 meters and dredged to 14.5 meters when needed, the port operator said. The berth is capable of servicing two vessels at a time or one new-generation ship with capacities more than double carriers that call Manila today, ICTSI said. The berth’s Phase One 12-hectare container yard has more than 8,000 slots for containers. Source : PortNews

Asia-Europe average rates down Average spot rates on the Asia-Europe trade slipped this week for the seventh week in a row, threatening to erode the series of four big general rate increases that carriers have been able to nail down on that trade since the beginning of the year The World Container Index of spot prices in the trade from Shanghai to Rotterdam, which is compiled by Drewry and the Cleartrade Exchange in Singapore, dropped by $16 (-0.5 percent) this week to $3,112 per laden 40-foot container from $3,128 on June 21, the Journal of Commerce reports. This week’s WCI shows a drop of 19.8 percent in the last seven weeks from the WCI of $3,878 per FEU on May 3 that followed carriers’ May 1 general rate increase of about $800 per FEU. Carriers have returned almost half their idle capacity to global trade lanes in the last three months as a result of the four general rate increases they have secured so far this year, according to BIMCO. Carriers had been able to hold onto most of the four large GRIs they put into effect since January, because they have kept vessel capacity relatively tight. This week’s WCI is st ill 153 percent higher than the WCI of $1,230 per FEU on Jan. 4, which reflects the carriers’ discipline in maintaining those rate increases until the last seven weeks.
