Alfa Laval Expands PureBallast 3 Training Programme in Mumbai, Houston and Manila.
Alfa Laval will begin PureBallast 3 crew training courses in Houston, Manila and Mumbai during the first and second quarters of 2019. The strategically located sites complement Alfa Laval’s state-of-the-art facility in Stockholm, forming a network of training locations to serve the needs of customers worldwide.
"Training is integral to success in ballast water treatment," says Anders Lindmark, Head of Alfa Laval PureBallast." Marine authorities have made clear that a lack of crew knowledge is not a valid reason for non-compliance. So besides providing crew training on board and online, Alfa Laval is making convenient courses available where our customers do business."
No matter which of the three sites they choose, customers can expect well-equipped facilities that are modern and purpose-designed. Likewise, they will encounter knowledgeable and experienced instructors, ready to share insights and best practices developed over years of hands-on work with ballast water treatment.
Lindmark points out that training is more than a matter of system knowledge. "PureBallast 3 is designed for ease of use, which means crews can quickly learn its operation and maintenance, he says. "However, ballast water treatment is still a relatively new application. For crew members to get it right, they need to understand not only how, but also why and when the ballast water treatment system should be used."
"Simply put, Alfa Laval crew training will help customers ensure safe, correct and efficient operation of their PureBallast 3 systems," Lindmark says. "By leading to optimal system use, it will safeguard their investment and their compliance."

Empowering Women in the Maritime.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has launched a new logo for its Women in Maritime programme, as part of its mission to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
Programme lead Helen Buni said: "The IMO Women in Maritime programme supports the participation of women in both shore-based and sea-going posts, under the slogan Training-Visibility-Recognition, through a wide range of gender-specific activities. The new logo is just one visible part of the programme and will help women in maritime gain more visibility and exposure throughout the maritime sector and beyond."
The primary objective of the IMO Women in Maritime programme is to encourage IMO Member States to open the doors of their maritime institutes to enable women to train alongside men and acquire the high-level of competence that the maritime industry demands.
Since the programme was established 31 years ago, its portfolio of activities has grown extensively. IMO has facilitated the establishment of seven regional associations for women in the maritime sector across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East and the Pacific Islands, some 152 countries and dependent territories and 490 participants.
The programme provides gender-specific fellowships, giving access to high-level technical training for women in the maritime sector in developing countries. A good example is the long-running "Women in Port Management" course, hosted in Le Havre, France, in partnership with the Port Institute for Education and Research (IPER) and the Le Havre Port Authority, where, in 2018, 48 women from 32 countries received training on port management. A total of 308 women have received training under this activity alone.
At IMO's World Maritime University (WMU) in Sweden, the proportion of women graduates has increased steadily over the years. By 2018, 1,029 females had graduated from the University out of a total 4,919 graduates. The number of female graduates has increased steadily over the years - from four in 1985 to 79 in 2018. By the end of the academic year 2017-2018, 1,029 females had graduated from the University, out of a total 4,919 graduates.
At IMO's International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI), 361 women had graduated by the end of the 2017-2018 academic year, out of a total of 837 graduates.
IMO also facilitates the identification and selection of women by their respective authorities for career development opportunities in maritime administrations, ports and maritime training institutes.
During 2019, some 10 activities are planned under the umbrella of the IMO Women in Maritime programme, including conferences, courses, workshops and regional meetings.
"We are inviting IMO Member States and particularly the regional associations for women in the maritime sector to use the new logo as they see fit, to show that they are part of a strong, global IMO Women in Maritime family," Ms. Buni said.
The launch of the new logo for the Women in Maritime programme comes as IMO focuses on women in maritime during 2019, under the World Maritime Day theme "Empowering Women in the Maritime Community".
The Women in Maritime programme is largely funded through IMO's Technical Cooperation fund, with a great deal of in-kind and financial support from a number of donors. IMO continues to seek new sources of funding in order to support the programme into the future.
IMO's Women in Maritime programme was formerly known as the programme for the Integration of Women in the Maritime Sector (IWMS).

Nigeria: Maritime varsity to boost job opportunities in shipping sector.
More Nigerians would be having opportunities to play significant role in the maritime sector, with the Nigeria Maritime University, Okerenkoko, Delta State, providing quality trainings to buoy the skill of Nigerian youths in shipping.
The Vice Chancellor of the Nigeria Maritime University, Prof. (Mrs.) Maureen Ongoebi Etebu, who disclosed this during a tour of the institution's teaching facilities and infrastructure at the take-off campus, said it would also save the nation foreign exchange.
She affirmed that the standard of training in the institution is at par with international best standards, therefore negating the need to further send students abroad to obtain such trainings.
According to her, the university had registered with the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), a body that upholds the highest standard of maritime practice and training in the world.She stressed that the university, which is working in collaboration with the Caribbean Maritime University, has brought peace to the Niger Delta region.
"We can now do local training and not send our citizens out of the country, because we have set standards that can compete with anywhere in the world; and through NIMASA, we are registered with IMO (International Maritime Organisation). "When you train cadets here in Nigeria, you give them the exposure they can get abroad. Right now, we are collaborating with Caribbean Maritime University, and we are also making arrangement with the World Maritime University in Sweden. We will be producing highly rated cadets without spending any dollars or pounds, which will save our nation a great deal of foreign exchange," she said.
She applauded President Muhammadu Buhari for his trail-blazing role in the development of the university.The VC, who was in the company of staff members, also affirmed that graduates of the university would soon bridge the gap of local skilled content in the maritime industry. She noted that such development would equally save the nation foreign exchange spent on the wages of skilled expatriate workers.
"When you go to ships you hardly find Nigerians, but in another two years this would be rectified as we should have graduated our first batch from the department of transport and logistics management and environmental management. And in another three years we will be producing marine engineers that can help man this area where we lack man powers."
In November 2017, President Muhammadu Buhari approved an increase in the take-off grant allocated to the University from the N2 billion earlier announced to N5 billion. This sum was included in the 2018 budget presented to the National Assembly in November 2017.
Similarly, an additional N1 billion was approved by the President to support essential infrastructure works and staff recruitment in the University in November 2017. The Delta State government has also donated two 500KVA generators to the University.
These grants have in no small measure aided the take-off of the institution, which arguably boasts world-class teaching facilities which include: state of the art lecture rooms kitted with projectors and air conditioners, school laboratories, Olympic size swimming pool, library, ICT centre, event hall, cafeteria, hostels, a health centre that also serves neighbouring communities, amongst others.It would be recalled that the Maritime University commenced full academic activities in April 2018, when its first batch resumed lectures for the 2017/2018 session.

Ardmore Refinances Seven, Disposes of Two Ships
Ardmore Shipping has refinanced seven vessels and reached agreements to sell two units during the fourth quarter of 2018.
Namely, the company completed financing transactions two 2015-built 37,000 dwt Eco-design IMO 2 product and chemical tankers and five 2014-built 50,000 dwt Eco-design MR tankers. Each of these were refinanced under finance lease arrangements, according to Ardmore.
The net cash proceeds to the company of these transactions, after prepayment of existing debt, were USD 32.7 million in the aggregate.
Ardmore also agreed to terms for the sale of the 47,000 dwt Ardmore Seatrader and the 45,840 dwt Ardmore Seamaster, the 2002- and 2004-built Eco-mod MR tankers.
Ardmore Seatrader was sold for USD 8.3 million and delivered to its buyer on January 9, 2019, while the Ardmore Seamaster would be disposed of for USD 9.7 million and is expected to join its new owner in February 2019.
The company revealed the transactions as part of its fourth quarter of 2018 financial report, in which it said it delivered a net loss of USD 8.8 million from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to a net loss of USD 3.8 million seen in the same period a year earlier.
For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2018, Ardmore s net loss reached USD 34.3
million, as compared to a net loss of USD 12 million reported in the previous year.
Spot MR tankers earned an average rate of USD 12,475 per day for the three months ended December 31, 2018, and USD 11,564 per day for the full year period. Chemical tankers earned an average rate of USD 10,779 per day during the quarter and an average of USD 11,406 per day for the full year.

World s 1st LNG Icebreaker Refueled at Tornio LNG Terminal
On February 2, icebreaker Polaris refueled for the first time at the Nordic countries largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Tornio in the icy Roytta Harbour.
The world s most environmentally friendly diesel-electric icebreaker joined the fleet of Finland s icebreaker operator Arctia in September 2016.
From the outset, Polaris was designed as an icebreaker that combines efficiency with environmental friendliness.
"This is the third winter in the demanding, icy conditions of the northern Baltic Sea for the world’s first LNG-powered icebreaker. Polaris has met our expectations with flying colours proving that it is truly a next generation icebreaker," Markus Karjalainen, Head of the Winter Navigation Unit of the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency (FTIA), commented.
FTIA is responsible for Finland s icebreaking services and for making sure that Finland s harbors can be accessed throughout the year.
All sectors of transport strive to reduce emissions. As explained by Karjalainen, Tornio s new LNG terminal enables increased use of LNG when operating in the Bay of Bothnia.
"Until now, the northernmost suitable terminal was located in Pori, which is way too far from Polaris operating area in the far end of the Bothnian Bay. Some LNG has been delivered by truck, but Polaris has had to rely mainly on diesel."
Constructed at Arctech Helsinki Shipyard, Polaris features a length of 110 meters and a width of 24 meters and can reach a speed of up to 17 knots. The icebreaking capacity of IB Polaris is 1.2 meters at a speed of 6 knots.
Arctia, being one of the world s first shipping companies to start using LNG, promotes the transition towards cleaner future fuels like LNG and biofuels in shipping.
"In addition to using LNG, all of Polaris operations aim at environmental friendliness. For example, the lubricant used in the ship s propulsion system is biodegradable. The ship s grey water, which basically consists of showering water, is collected to a container which is emptied during port calls. In other words, nothing is released to the sea, even if it the water has been purified," according to Pasi Jarvelin, Master of IB Polaris.

IBM Is Fitting Europe s Biggest Port to Support Autonomous Ships
