Modec to Provide FPSO for Brazilian Marlim Project
Japanese supplier and operator of offshore floating platforms Modec has received a letter of intent (LOI) from Brazil s Petrobras for the supply, charter, and operations of a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel for Marlim revitalization project.
The 25-year charter contract is the 16th Modec s project for the Brazilian market, according to the company.
With the first oil production planned for 2022, the FPSO will be capable of processing 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day, 7 million standard cubic meter of gas per day, 390,000 barrels of water injection per day and will have a minimum storage capacity of 1,000,000 barrels of crude oil.
The abovementioned field is 100% operated by Petrobras and is situated in the Campos Basin, in the northern region of the Rio de Janeiro State, 150 kilometers off the coast. The oil wells are at a water depth approximately 670 meters.
Modec is responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, mobilization, chartering and operations of the FPSO, including topsides processing equipment as well as hull and marine systems.
In addition to the Marlim 1 FPSO, Modec will also provide three more FPSOs for the country within the next years - the FPSO Carioca MV30, the FPSO Guanabara MV31 and the FPSO Almirante Barroso MV32. These FPSOs will be deployed in the pre-salt of Santos Basin.
"It is our wish to continue to support the development of the local (Brazilian) oil and gas industry, either through mature fields like the Marlim revitalization project as well as green field projects in the pre-salt, amongst others," Yuji Kozai, President and CEO of MODEC, said.
"MODEC began its operations in Brazil back in 2003, precisely in the Campos Basin. We are very honored to receive a new contract for the region," Takashi Nishino, President and CEO of MODEC Brazil, commented.

Belships Hires Ultramax Newbuild
Norwegian shipping company Belships has agreed a seven-year bareboat charter for a 61,000 dwt Ultramax bulk carrier newbuilding.
As informed, the vessel will be delivered by an unnamed Japanese shipyard during the first quarter of 2020.
"We are very pleased to continue the growth of the company with another Japanese Ultramax resale representing the highest quality and lowest fuel consumption in the market today," Lars Christian Skarsgard, Belships CEO, commented.
The estimated cash breakeven for the bulker upon delivery is about USD 11,000 per day including operational expenses. Belships will pay a sum of USD 3 million prior to delivery, according to the company.
Belships added that the agreement comes with purchase options below current market values and can be exercised after the fourth year until the end of the charter.
Earlier this month, the company inked an agreement with Turkey s Marti Shipping & Ship Management for a bareboat charter and a subsequent sale of Beleast, a 50,000 dwt Supramax. Under the deal, the 2006-built vessel will enter the bareboat charter during the fourth quarter of 2019 and Belships will realize a gain of around USD 4 million.
The unit is the oldest ship in Belships fleet of 22 Supramax and Ultramax vessels, including newbuildings.

Dry Bulk Drives Port of Antwerp Freight Volume Growth
Belgium s Port of Antwerp has seen its total freight volume rise by 1.1% during the first three quarters of the year, with growth driven by a strong dry bulk segment.
During the nine-month period, the volume of dry bulk such as scrap metal, minerals and coal soared by 9.5%, compared with the same period last year.
The container volume (in TEU) was up by as much as 6.4%. However the slowdown in the world economy reduced the growth rate of more volatile trade flows such as conventional breakbulk, liquid bulk and vehicles.
"The uncertainty in world trade has not yet had any impact on our container volume," Jacques Vandermeiren, Port of Antwerp CEO, declared.
"In fact it is continuing to expand, thus further consolidating our world leadership position. As a consequence we are continuing to develop additional freight transport to the hinterland by rail and barge."
The recent adjustments to the MSC feeder network, a network of smaller ships that take on freight from larger units in the port for onward transport, were favorable for Antwerp, the port said. As of the third quarter, for instance, two new services to Latin America provided additional imports of reefer loads from Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia and Costa Rica.
Strong results in the dry bulk and container sectors were offset by a 9% drop in breakbulk volumes, which was impacted by ups and downs in world trade.
The conventional breakbulk volume, with steel as the main category, suffered a fall of 12.9%. Both imports and exports of steel are increasingly feeling the consequences of geopolitical measures that restrict the flow of trade. Only exports to Mexico and Turkey experienced growth, while imports from all producing countries suffered a decline.
The total RoRo volume for its part contracted by 2.1%, while the number of new cars handled was down by 10%, due to among other things the declining volume of new car exports in the third quarter. By contrast the decline was partly offset by an increased volume of second-hand cars, with growth of 12%.
"Port of Antwerp keeps on growing. The recent call by the MSC Isabella is a new record as the largest container ship ever to call at Antwerp," Annick De Ridder, port alderman, declared.
"Proof that our port offers safe and easy access to megamax container carriers with deep draught. In this way we continue our sustainable growth because large ships like these significantly lower carbon emission per shipped container."

MSC Joins CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd in Discarding Northern Sea Route
MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company has become the latest industry major to announce it would not use the Arctic as a new shortcut between northern Europe and Asia.
With this move, MSC joins German and French counterparts Hapag-Lloyd and CMA CGM in a decision not to take advantage of the Northern Sea Route which is becoming increasingly more navigable.
The Swiss shipping company noted it would instead focus on improving environmental performance on existing global trade routes.
While the Northern Sea Route, which lies entirely in Arctic waters, has been trialed by other shipping lines seeking to take advantage of melting ice from global warming, MSC said it was not willing to take the risk of damaging air quality and endanger the biodiversity of untouched marine habitats in the Arctic.
The company added that it was convinced that the 21 million containers moved each year for its customers can be transported around the world without passing through this Arctic corridor.
"As a responsible company with a longstanding nautical heritage and passion for the sea, MSC finds the disappearance of Arctic ice to be profoundly disturbing," Diego Aponte, President & CEO, MSC Group, said.
MSC further said that avoiding the Northern Sea Route was complementary to the company’s broader strategic approach to sustainability. It recently completed a program to retrofit more than 250 ships in its existing fleet with the latest green technologies, cutting about 2 million tons of CO2 emissions each year.
Furthermore, the latest newbuilding additions to the fleet like the largest container ship in the world MSC Gulsun, have introduced a new class of sustainable container shipping, with the lowest carbon footprint by design, at 7.49 grams of CO2 emissions to move 1 ton of cargo 1 nautical mile.

Ship Owner, Operator Fined USD 1.8 Mn for Covering Up Vessel Oil Pollution
Two shipping companies incorporated in Liberia will pay a USD 1.8 million criminal penalty for pollution caused by a cargo vessel and concealing evidence, the US Department of Justice said.
Vessel owner Nederland Shipping Company and operator Chartworld Shipping Company pled guilty on October 15 in federal court in Wilmington, Delaware, to failing to notify the US Coast Guard of a hazardous condition on one of their vessels and to violating the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships (APPS) by presenting false documents to the USCG that covered up vessel oil pollution.
The ship in question is M/V Nederland Reefer, the 13,049 gross ton, ocean-going, refrigerated cargo/container vessel built in 1991.
Large ships like Nederland Reefer generate oil-contaminated bilge waste when water mixes in the bottom or bilges of the ship with oil that has leaked from the ship’s engines and other areas. This waste must be processed to separate the water from the oil and other wastes by using pollution prevention equipment, including an oily water separator (OWS), before being discharged into the sea. APPS requires the disposal of the ship’s bilge waste to be recorded in the ship s oil record book (ORB).
The investigation began in February 2019 when the USCG’s Marine Safety Detachment out of Lewes, Delaware, conducted a port state control examination of the abovementioned ship. During the inspection, the coast guard determined that the vessel s Chief Engineer, Vasileios Mazarakis, had been repeatedly tricking the oil content monitoring device on the vessel s OWS with fresh water thereby discharging untreated oily bilge water overboard at sea. Mazarakis then falsified the vessel’s ORB to conceal these illegal discharges from the USCG, according to the US DOJ.
On October 2, 2019, Mazarakis pled guilty to a violation of the APPS for his falsification of the ORB. As part of his guilty plea, Mazarakis also admitted that he took various actions to obstruct the USCG s investigation, including destruction of evidence and witness tampering.
The investigation also determined that on December 30, 2018, seawater began entering the vessel below the waterline through a hole in the vessel’s bilge holding tank. This compromise of the hull s integrity and the temporary repairs thereto constituted a hazardous condition that shipping companies failed to report to the coast guard.
Under the plea agreement, the companies will be placed on a four-year term of probation that includes a comprehensive environmental compliance plan to ensure, among other things, that ships operated by Chartworld entering the United States fully comply with all applicable national and international marine environmental protection laws. The compliance plan will be implemented by an independent auditing company and supervised by a court-appointed monitor.
