The U.S. Coast Guard suspended its search for a missing Carnival Victory crewmember on July 7.

Wartsila, CHI Team Up on Exhaust Gas Cleaning Business in China
Finnish technology group Wärtsilä and China s COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry (CHI) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly serve the exhaust gas cleaning market in China.
The agreement covering the development of local production resources was signed in June 2019.
Specifically, the duo wants to ensure further development and support of Wartsila sexhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCSs) in the region.
By combining the strengths of the two companies, the partners aim to make a one-stop-shopping service for scrubber systems, providing shipowners with deliveries and installation for both newbuild and retrofit scrubber projects.
"We are honoured that COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry has selected Wartsila as a partner in delivering … exhaust gas cleaning technology to its customers. We look forward to together serving the EGCS market locally in China," Jan Othman, Director, Exhaust Gas Treatment, Wartsila Marine, commented.
Zhao Zengshan, Vice President of COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry, explained that the CHI Group intends to expand its manufacturing portfolio of marine equipment and is, therefore, establishing cooperation with Wartsila.
Wartsila s current marine scrubber portfolio includes the I-SOx, Q-SOx & V-SOx models.

Int l Tribunal Orders Nigeria to Free Swiss Tanker, Crew
Nigeria should immediately release a Swiss tanker, its cargo and crew after Switzerland provides relevant guarantees, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) said.
On July 6, 2019, the tribunal delivered its order concerning the arrest and detention of M/T San Padre Pio in Nigeria.
The tribunal prescribed, pending a decision by the Annex VII arbitral tribunal, that "Switzerland shall post a bond or other financial security, in the amount of USD 14,000,000, with Nigeria in the form of a bank guarantee".
In addition, Switzerland should ensure that the Master and the three officers are available and present at the criminal proceedings in Nigeria, according to the tribunal.
After satisfying the abovementioned conditions, Nigeria should release the ship, its Master and crew and ensure that the officers are allowed to leave the territory and maritime areas under the jurisdiction of Nigeria.
In late January 2018, the Nigerian navy intercepted and arrested the 7,600 dwt vessel while it was engaged in ship-to-ship transfers of gasoil in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of Nigeria.
The tanker, operated by Swiss ABC Maritime, was arrested due to "unauthorized entry into Nigerian waters and illegal fuel trading" although the ship s captain claimed that San Padre Pio had permission to ship the fuel to this country. It was reportedly the tanker s fifth visit to Nigeria.
The 2012-built vessel was then ordered to proceed to Nigerian Port Harcourt, where it is still detained.
The sixteen crew members were moved to a prison and charged with "conspiring to distribute and deal with petroleum product without lawful authority or appropriate license, and with having done so with respect to the petroleum product onboard". The charges were later amended to apply only to the Master, three officers and the vessel.
Thereafter, the other crew members were released from prison and returned to the vessel, while the Master and the three officers stayed in prison before they were released and returned to the vessel upon the provision of bail in April 2018.
Under the bail conditions set by the Federal High Court of Nigeria, the Master and the three officers are not allowed to travel outside Nigeria without prior approval or order of the court.
Switzerland claims that bunkering activities carried out by the vessel in the exclusive economic zone are part of the freedom of navigation and that it has exclusive jurisdiction as the flag state over the ship with respect to such activities.
ITLOS now said that "it appears that the rights claimed by Switzerland in the present case … are plausible".
In April 2019, San Padre Pio was attacked by four armed pirates while anchored off Bonny. Two perpetrators managed to board the tanker and open fire towards the accommodation. According to the IMB, the onboard Nigerian naval guards returned fire resulting in the persons retreating into their boat and escaping. One guard was injured during the shooting and was given first aid by the crew.
"The M/T "San Padre Pio has not only been detained for a considerable period of time but also that the vessel and its crew are exposed to constant danger to their security and safety," ITLOS noted.

Wharfies Organize Waterfront Stoppages at DP World Terminals
Wharfies at DP World s Brisbane, Sydney, Fremantle and Melbourne container terminals have launched a series of strikes against automation, outsourcing, cuts to income protection insurance and dishonest bargaining, according to the Maritime Union of Australia.
A two day strike began in Brisbane in the morning hours of July 8, the first in a series of 48 to 96 hour work stoppages planned for container terminals run by Australia s largest stevedore. Sydney and Fremantle workers will strike this Thursday and Friday, and Melbourne will be out from Wednesday until Sunday morning, the MUA informed.
Workers have also imposed a range of indefinite work bans, including bans on upgrades, overtime, and shift extensions. DP World reportedly challenged the rights of the Maritime Union of Australia to use bans in the Fair Work Commission, with a decision pending on Monday.
"This restriction on utilising the legally protected bans has forced workers into strike action as their legal rights to use the bans was effectively removed by the company and FWC," MUA said.
The industrial action follows the expiry of a three month cease-fire agreement between DP World and the MUA, which saw the company press ahead with an agenda of job cuts and attacks on rights and conditions. Income protection for workers remains a target of the company.
The strikes will proceed after their protected status was confirmed by the FWC on Friday, when the company sought 418 orders to stop workers using strike action. Fair Work Commissioner Paula Spencer dismissed DP World s application and reaffirmed the legal and protected nature of the strikes, stating that they could continue.
MUA Assistant National Secretary Warren Smith said DPW management were also insisting on including provisions in a new workplace agreement that could see waterfront jobs lost to outsourcing and automation.
"This major escalation of industrial action is about sending a clear message to management that the safety, dignity, and job security of wharfies are absolutely non-negotiable," Smith added.
"We are fully committed to reaching an agreement as quickly as possible, however we will not sell our conditions, compromise our core claims, or undermine industry standards to do it."

Turkish Shipowners to Equip Fleet with Alfa Laval BWTS
Turkish Shipowners Ballast Water Treatment (BWT) Group, an association of about 50 shipowners, has signed a fleet agreement for Alfa Laval PureBallast 3 systems.
The agreement is valued at approximately SEK 210 million (around USD 22.3 million).
At the signing ceremony in Istanbul on July 4, 2019, members of the Turkish alliance confirmed the decision to install PureBallast 3 systems on their vessels. The choice of PureBallast 3 was made by the group’s technical committee after a year of evaluating 14 different UV ballast water treatment systems.
As informed, the PureBallast 3 systems will be delivered for installation on vessels over a five-year period between 2019 and 2024.
The systems are intended for a variety of small vessels and will be of very small sizes, according to Alfa Laval.
"This is an extremely important agreement for Alfa Laval, both regionally and globally," Peter Sahlen, Head of Alfa Laval PureBallast, commented.
During the signing ceremony, Sahlen announced that Alfa Laval will open a training center in Istanbul, where crews will be able to train on a physical PureBallast 3 system.
Alfa Laval PureBallast was the first chemical-free solution for ballast water treatment certified by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and one of the first systems to receive the US Coast Guard type approval for usage in all water salinities, including fresh water. A vital component of PureBallast is the enhanced UV reactor.

Eastern Libya, U.S. firm close to signing Libya port deal
Eastern Libyan authorities and U.S. security firm Guidry Group plan to finalize an agreement to develop a major port in the east of the troubled oil producer, both sides said.
Talks have been going on for about a year to build a port in Susah, which would mark a rare sign of investment in Libya. Most of the country has been in chaos since the toppling of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
