All crew reportedly evacuated, as of 1500 Tokyo time firefighting was still on. Not clear why fire broke out, was it connected with recent mishap, when container ship collided with another container ship NYC VENUS, read below. Obviously, SITC OSAKA was delayed in Kobe because of collision and most probably, damages sustained, but no other details are available at the moment.Posted On:10-May-2018

BIMCO appoints new Head of Maritime Security
BIMCO has appointed Jakob P. Larsen as Head of Maritime Security. He has a broad maritime experience from both the private and public sector – and always with a large security component. Mr Larsen will replace Phil Tinsley, who will be leaving BIMCO shortly.
BIMCO has established itself as a leading authority on many maritime security issues, highlighting the threats and urging the industry to adopt a risk-based approach. BIMCO says it is a rapidly evolving area where it intends to remain a leader. "Jakob P. Larsen's skillset and experiences can lift BIMCO's work on maritime security to the next level. He has demonstrated in his career that he has an innovative and analytical mindset and has successfully adapted his naval experience to help resolve security issues both at Nordic Tankers and Maersk Line. Jakob will be a great asset to BIMCO in addressing the security challenges facing the entire maritime industry," said Angus Frew, BIMCO Secretary General and CEO.
Mr Larsen will lead BIMCO's efforts in developing the association's guidance to the industry and making sure that BIMCO and its members are at the forefront of maritime security developments. Mr.Larsen s career began in the Royal Danish Navy, where he became captain of an arctic patrol vessel and later Staff Operations Officer in NATO's Standing Naval Force Atlantic. His final position was as Commander in the Danish Defence Staff and at the Danish Ministry of Defence, where he was involved in the political side of global security.
His first civilian job was at BIMCO as Maritime Adviser and so he already has a deep understanding of BIMCO's role in the maritime industry and appreciates the importance on focusing on value for its members. After three successful years at BIMCO, he joined Nordic Tankers, where he rose quickly to become Director SQE, Safety Culture and Security.
The position at Nordic Tankers led to Maersk Line, where he has held positions within global security (including as Company Security Officer), marine quality, standardisation and crisis management.Posted On:10-May-2018

ESPO Publishes Its Position Paper On The Port Reception Facilities For Ship Waste
For European ports, ship waste has been one of the main environmental priorities, as indicated in the ESPO 2017 Sustainability Report. In its position paper on the revision of the Port Reception Facilities Directive, ESPO welcomes the Commission proposal and its objective to build upon the substantial progress achieved under the existing Directive.
The existing Directive 2000/59 has contributed to decreasing significantly waste discharges at sea. The minimum fixed fee, which has to be paid by all ships calling at EU ports, regardless of whether they use the waste facilities or of the quantities they deliver, has delivered. As a result, only 2.5% of oily waste is not delivered at waste facilities in ports.Posted On:10-May-2018
