MV Cheshire Starts Unloading Cargo in Spain
Cargo discharging operations from the stricken bulk carrier MV Cheshire started on October 20 at the Spanish port of Motril, the ship's owner Bibby Line informed.

The unloading process is estimated to take approximately 15 days, with the length of time needed due to the stevedores only working in daylight hours and the cargo sampling process adding to the discharge time, the company said.

MV Cheshire experienced elevated temperatures in its cargo holds 4 and 5 on August 12. Its cargo, NPK fertilizer, decomposed whilst the ship was south of Gran Canaria, sailing from Norway to Thailand.

The 56,597 dwt bulker has been alongside at the port in the south of Spain since September 13 undertaking preparations to commence the discharge operation, with a focus on health, safety and the environment.

''There has been obvious interest in the state of the cargo by environmentalists and public officials and visits have been made to the vessel for inspection. The environmental report, which includes useful comments by the cargo manufacturers, has been issued and accepted by the port authority,'' Bibby Line said.

The company added that Resolve, who are assisting with the discharge, has revised the original plans to take into account the environmental report.

Bibby Line earlier said that any plans for repairing the vessel ''will wait until the cargo has been discharged and a more thorough inspection can take place.''

DP World Adds Capacity at Jebel Ali Terminal
Dubai-based port and terminal operator DP World is stepping up container handling productivity at its flagship Jebel Ali Port by adding 1.5 million TEUs to Container Terminal 3 (T3).

The expansion, which increases the port’s capacity from 18 million TEU to 19.5 million TEU, is in response to emerging market demand, according to the company. T3 now has a capacity of 4 million TEU and will be the world's largest semi-automated terminal, DP World said.

The first batch of 37 new ship-to-shore (STS) cranes and 47 automated rail mounted gantry (ARMG) cranes are already operational.

''Increasing the handling capacity at Terminal 3 is in response to the high levels of utilisation at the port,'' Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DP World, said.

''Today, Jebel Ali has the capability to accommodate ten mega container ships simultaneously and we are on schedule to increase this number significantly,'' he added.

The upgrade includes raising the heights of seven existing quay cranes by retrofitting them to meet the requirements of the new mega container vessels. The major refurbishing work will improve efficiency and productivity while prolonging the lifespan of the cranes. Shore-side expansion work will cover all the port's functioning Container Terminals, T1, T2 and T3.

DP World, UAE Region handled 7.7 million TEU in the first half of 2017, growing 4.3% year-on-year.

Jebel Ali's Container Terminal (T1) now has 15 ZPMC (Shanghai Zhenua Heavy Industries Company) replacement STS cranes, with 70 tonne twin-lift capability. Its capability is further strengthened by the crane heightening project, with six cranes being refitted to service the new container ships.

Container Terminal 2 (T2) will receive three STS and 12 ARMG cranes. The STS cranes are dual hoist tandem types capable of lifting two 40 TEU containers or four 20 TEU boxes, with a combined weight of 100 tonnes. Three existing cranes will be retro-fitted to raise their heights to handle the next generation vessels.

ZPMC is also commissioning the final six cranes of Jebel Ali's Container Terminal 3 (T3) - single hoist tandem types capable of lifting up to 100 tonnes.

Meanwhile, in line with market demand, Container Terminal 4 (T4) will take delivery of 13 STS cranes, which are dual hoist tandem models able to lift a combined weight of 120 tonnes and 35 ARMG cranes that are the double cantilever/double truck lane types able to handle twin-lift containers to a combined weight of 70 tonnes.

Jebel Ali is one of the few ports in the Middle East capable of berthing multiple modern era megaships that have a carrying capacity of 18,000 TEU and more.

A Month Needed to Prep for Kea Trader's New Refloating Attempt
Following the unsuccessful refloating attempt on October 9, salvage company Ardent is devising a new plan to move the stranded boxship from the reef off New Caledonia where it ran aground back in July.

According to New Caledonia's government, Ardent plans to propose a new method of refloating the ship which aims to limit further damage to the ill-fated vessel.

Specifically, the plan is to use the rise of the tide to enable the ship to regain buoyancy and break free from the Durand Reef. The goal is to tow it out of the reef.

Additional preparations are being made for the new refloating attempt, including unloading of containers from the ship that remain still onboard.

As informed, substantial amount of work needs to be carried out before the next attempt to pull the ship free from the reef can be made. Initial estimates indicate that this will take at least four weeks should weather conditions be favorable.

Kea Trader ran hard aground on the Durand Reef on July 12. Damage assessments conducted by late September showed that the 2,194 TEU ship is beyond repair and would have to be recycled, the ship's owner Lomar Shipping earlier said.

Underwater inspections identified extensive damage to the ship's hull, rudder and propeller. Furthermore, there was also evidence of further structural damage within the vessel and additional deterioration being caused while the ship remains on the rock reef during rough swells.

Captain missing from board
The master of the ''MSC Giannina'', the 54-year-old Ukrainian Juri Kharytonov, was reported missing on Oct 19, 2017, in pos. 13 53N 013 43E in the Tyrrhenian sea, while the vessel was en route from Gioia Tauro to Genoa. He was last seen on board at the beginning of the night. Alert was raised after a thorough search of the whole ship by the crew of 22, which turned around to retrace the stretch of sea between Corsica and Elba in search of the cman at sea. The CROSS Med in Corsica coordinated an SAR operation with its Italian counterpart. All day Italian aircraft and helicopter, assisted by the French authoorites, tried to find the missing sailor. A Puma Helicopter stationed at the Solenzarra Air Base and a Falcon 50 of the Navy Base in Lann Bihoue were deployed as well as the SNSM boats of Macinaggio and Bastia. The Maritime Prefect of the Mediterranean decided to stop the search at 7.17 p.m.. The ship continued its voyage under the command of the Chief Officer, arriving at the Voltri Port in Genoa and was berthed at Polmare Terminal at 10.30 p.m. where it was seized. The Genoa police boarded the vessel to interrogate the crew.

Two Missing after Barge Explosion off Port Aransas
Two crew members are missing following an explosion and fire aboard a barge off the coast of Port Aransas, Texas, according to the United States Coast Guard.

The two men went missing in the incident which occurred in the morning hours of October 20 on the forward section of the barge. Officials launched a search and rescue operation, however, it was suspended without results in the evening hours a day later.

USCG said that multiple oil discharge recovery and coast guard assets are still on scene in the vicinity of the barge that continue to maintain a vigilant watch for the men.

The barge B255, which was loaded with some 133,000 barrels of crude oil at the time, caught fire while it was three miles off the jetties of Port Aransas. Relevant authorities managed to extinguish the fire, however, oil pollution was reported in the area and response efforts continue to minimize the impact to the environment and maritime community.
2,000-feet of oil-containment boom was deployed around the barge to contain any oil that has entered the water. An additional 6,000-feet of boom is on scene to protect environmentally sensitive areas.

The entrance and jetty channels leading to the Corpus Christi ship channel from Harbor Island to offshore were initially closed in order to prevent the spread of discharged oil into the port and to safely facilitate cleanup operations. The USCG reopened the impacted ship channels on October 22.

''Discharge from the barge cargo tanks appears to have stopped following the removal of 2,500 barrels of oil-water mix from the barge through lightering operations. Lightering is currently suspended due to weather, but will resume with improvement in sea conditions,'' USCG informed.

Containment boom remains in place around the vessel, though sheening from the barge and containment boom is present. Coast Guard air overflights found no oil in the vicinity of the Entrance and Jetty channels.
