Close To 3,000 Seafaring Cadets Upskilled The "SINGAPORE Way"
In its 36th run, The CadetsPlus programme has benefitted close to 3,000 cadets across 15 cities in 7 countries at present.
A historical training collaboration between the Singapore Maritime Officers Union (SMOU), the Thai Seafarers Association (TSFA) and various shipping companies in Thailand, upskilled close to 90 Thai cadets who are ready to be deployed onboard Singapore's shipping fleet having completed a 2-week CadetsPlus pre-sea preparatory programme developed by Singapore's Wavelink Maritime Institute (WMI).
In conjunction with SMOU's first Bangkok Nite for its Thai union members, the cadets received their certificates at the graduation ceremony on 2 June 2018 at Bangkok, in the presence of their shipping employers and family members. Shipping employers from Singapore were also present at the event to explore crewing options from Thailand as possible solutions to the shortage of maritime officers in the world.
The first training partnership between WMI and Thailand's Merchant Marine Training Centre project, is funded by the Singapore Maritime Training Fund (SMTF), which is established in collaboration with SMOU, maritime authorities, shipping employers and other co-operating partners for developing quality and qualified seafarers to man Singapore flag ships. This idea was first mooted when SMOU and TSFA, both affiliates of the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF), inked a Bilateral Arrangement last year and discussed the possibility of preparing Thai seafaring cadets to work on Singapore flag vessels. Conducted by Singapore trainers from WMI, the 2-week training assimilated the cadets to the workings onboard Singapore registered ships and encompasses modules such as Report Writing, Shipboard Organisation and Teamwork, Shipboard Safety and Maritime English.
"SMOU's mission has always been to champion seafarers interests and to value-add the maritime community and beyond. We firmly believe that seafaring is a good career which provides good wages and ultimately a better life. We work with unions and shipping companies to help seafarers around the world, to remain competent for their voyage, and today's graduation is the result of a bilateral collaboration between SMOU and TSFA, where we have a common goal to provide the young Thai people an opportunity to work on Singapore flag ships with better wages. With a track record of 36 CadetsPlus training programmes conducted across 7 countries, SMOU and WMI have trained close to 3,000 cadets in the region. We are committed to work with any country and aim to better the lives of our seafarers across the world" - Mary Liew, General Secretary of SMOU.
"The collaboration between SMOU and TSFA is a huge step forward to equip our thai seafarers with skills to navigate the world of international shipping. This is one of the many benefits we can bring to our seafarers - to ensure they stay employable and safe while contributing their skills to our shipping companies" - Mr. Nopadol Kaewsuwan, President of TSFA.
"This 2-week programme is good preparation for us before we go to sea as a cadet for the first time in our lives. There is always concern in the first time we do anything but I am feeling more confident after this programme as it teaches us practical skills such as communication and shipboard organisation. We will be better equipped to take on the challenges as we sail on our first ships" - Mr. Wasin Pothiyan, Cadet from Thoresen Co (Bangkok) Ltd
CadetsPlus Training Programme
The CadetsPlus Programme started in 2007 in Qing Dao and has since broadened its training region in Asia. In line with SMTF's objective to promote collective training, education and upgrading of seafarers, the programme has since gained traction with close to 3,000 cadets being trained so far across 15 cities in 7 countries: Xiamen, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Tianjin, Nanjing, Qingdao, Chongqin, Cebu, Manila, Baliwag, Yangon, Jakarta, Surabaya, Taipei and Bangkok.
The 10-day pre-boarding programme aims to improve the capabilities of maritime officers and engineers before cadets embark on their first journey. This programme covers various modules such as Maritime English, Legislative Requirements, Shipboard Organisation & Teamwork and Learning & Personal Development which can also be customised to suit the training needs of cadets in various countries.

BIMCO Urges IMO To Harmonise Digital Data Reporting
In 2019 the new mandatory requirements on Electronic Data Interchange require public authorities to establish systems for the electronic exchange of information to assist ship clearance processes.
BIMCO will attend the 42nd session of the IMO's Committee on Facilitation Committee (FAL 42), which will be held in London from 5 to 8 June 2018. IMO's Facilitation Committee works to make port calls, handling of cargos and passengers more efficient to facilitate trade and the world economy. It is the parent committee of the FAL Convention, which contains formalities, documentary requirements and procedures applied on port arrival, stay and departure.
It also addresses security-related incidents (for example stowaways, illegal migrants on board the ship or drug trafficking).
Important items on the agenda
Facilitation of automated ship reporting
Work on standardising and harmonising electronic ship reporting and automated collection of onboard data for reporting is part of the FAL agenda. The maritime single window concept is a central element in this process. Several projects have been contributing to pave the way for automation. One of them is the EfficienSea 2 project and BIMCO has submitted a paper entitled: Revision of the IMO Compendium on Facilitation and Electronic Business. The co-sponsors are: Liberia, the Marshall Islands, Turkey and BIMCO.
The proposal requests the IMO to add harmonisation of data ID to the ongoing work of paving the way for digitalisation of maritime services. Currently, there are several international standards that - unfortunately - use different IDs for the same data element. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to develop an international standardised end-user machine-to-machine solution. The data element IDs are key to ensuring proper and practical implementation of machine-to-machine solutions.
The document also proposes the establishment of a maritime register (database) for the data element IDs. The register should be harmonised and standardised to ensure interoperability between services thereby facilitating the direct exchange of information.
Maritime Single Window
In order to comply with the new mandatory requirements on electronic data interchange, public authorities have until spring 2019 to establish systems for the electronic exchange of information to assist ship clearance processes. Last year, the decision was taken to develop a prototype based on the maritime single window systems that had already been implemented in several member states. BIMCO will hold a lunch time presentation to outline our suggested way forward based on the outcome of the EfficienSea 2 project.
Maritime corruption impact on global trade, port governance and seafarers
The Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) is a global business network established in 2011 as an industry-led initiative, working collaboratively towards the vision of a maritime industry free of corruption that enables fair trade to the benefit of society at large. MACN with the support of BIMCO raises concerns on how maritime corruption has a negative effect: how it impedes social and economic development and how it may contribute to other risks such as security in ports, on board ships and on the well-being, health and safety of seafarers.
Amendment of the Explanatory Manual (FAL.3/Circ.202) to the FAL Convention
The amendment work has been done by correspondence and several departments in BIMCO have contributed to the work. The explanatory manual helps to interpret the legal text of the FAL Convention, that can be complex and at times difficult to understand. The old version is seven years old and is being updated to cover developments especially on electronic certificates, which will become the mandatory as from April 2019.

LR: Zero Emission Ships Main Challenge Lies in Fuel Storage
The shipping sector recently took a giant leap toward decarbonisation as the International Maritime Organization s (IMO) member states agreed on the requirement which would see the industry reduce its emissions by at least 50 pct by 2050 compared to 2008.
The move, considered as a potentially game-changing development, envisages at least halving the shipping sector s greenhouse gas emissions over the period, however, without a clear plan of action, many questions have arisen as to how this would be accomplished.
