Maritime Matters Overlooked
Every seafarer knows that things that happen at sea don't get the attention of things that happen on land.

Oil spilled on beaches makes headlines, abuse and abandonment rarely do. That's despite the debt we owe to seafarers who bring us, as the title of a recent book reminds, 90 percent of everything. 'Flags of convenience' cloak ownership and let those who don't pay crews, or who run unseaworthy ships, escape detection. How can this be? One reason is the proliferation of flags of convenience, in which countries hire out their flags to shipowners based in other countries on a purely commercial basis.

All the Gear, No Idea
Navigators who sailed with decent companies under respectable flags, were brought up with the golden rule that "keeping a good look-out" was the absolute priority for the hours they were on the bridge.

There was nothing more important, because the sea always had the capacity to surprise the person whose brain had gone into neutral. While casualties in general are happily in decline, P&I Club claims statistics largely agree that those due to navigational causes remain stubbornly constant, a source of frustration to those who look at the equipment available to the modern watch keeper and wonder why this fails to make any difference.

Arctic ice melt to redraw global shipping routes
The disappearing Arctic ice cap will boost trade between north-west Europe and countries such as China, Japan and South Korea by making the sea routes far shorter, according to economic analysts.

The new sea route will alter world trade, making northern countries richer, but causing serious problems for Egypt, which will lose a large chunk of revenue currently gained from ships coming through the Suez Canal.

One advantage to the environment - according to a discussion paper from the Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis − is that ships will burn far less fossil fuel to reach their destination.

However, this gain will be offset when the volume of trade increases because of the shorter sea route, making climate change slightly worse.

Open all year

The northern sea route is already open in the summer months, but the paper predicts that it will be available all year round by 2030, or possibly sooner. It says that Arctic ice is melting faster than predicted by scientists.

To police the new route, the Russian government has already formed a federal state institution and is building 10 "relief ports" along the Siberian coastline for ships that might need repairs or supplies. China has signed a free trade agreement with Iceland in anticipation of regularly using the route.

The paper estimates that trade between north-west Europe and China, Japan and Korea will increase by 10% as a result of the opening of the route, but that this will happen gradually.

The northern route will become one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, increasing the economic and political importance of the Arctic

Since 90% of world trade by volume is carried by ship, the distance between ports is a vital consideration. The northern route reduces the distance from Japan to north European countries by 37%, from South Korea by 31%, China 23%, and Taiwan 17%.

The advantage of shorter distances applies only to countries in northern East Asia. For countries south of the equator, such as Singapore and Indonesia, the southern route via Suez is still shorter.

Similarly, southern European countries do not gain because they remain roughly the same distance away from their trading partners whichever route they use.

The countries in Europe that will gain most from the new sea route are those with access to ports on the North Sea and the Baltic. These include Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, the UK and Norway.

Drop in trade

Some countries in eastern and southern Europe would experience a drop in trade because of the comparatively longer distances their exports and imports would need to travel, according to the report. These include Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Romania and Slovenia.

The report says that roughly 8% of world trade goes through the Suez Canal, and predicts that two-thirds of this volume will switch to the shorter Arctic route. The northern route will become one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, increasing the economic and political importance of the Arctic.

At the same time, it will put huge economic pressure on Egypt and Singapore, who rely heavily on shipping using the southern route.

Over time,the opening of the Arctic route will have knock-on effects on jobs and prosperity in all the countries concerned, but it is predicted that this will be a gradual rather than sudden process.

Congratulations to Piscataqua Maritime Commission
Strawbery Banke Museum congratulates the Piscataqua Maritime Commission, its chair Allen "Chad" Chadwick, vice chair Larry Job, and the organization’s board, members and volunteers for another spectacular Sail Portsmouth in 2015.

Once again, the docks of Piscataqua held imaginations with the stirring sight of the two beautiful ships, Andalucia and Lynx, reminding us of how privileged we are to be a waterfront community at the gateway to the Atlantic.

The community of historic sites (including the members of our Portsmouth Historic Houses & Sites Association), restaurants, shops and other businesses benefited tremendously from all the work the Piscataqua Maritime Commission does to prepare for and welcome the ships and their crews, and from the stream of visitors attracted by the publicity the event generates throughout the region.

Sail Portsmouth is a cultural, historical and economic boon to Portsmouth and these volunteers are deserving of the community's thanks.

Lawrence J. Yerdon

President and CEO

Cadets Taught The life And Sacrifices Of Being A Seafarer
Married or single, whatever the status that the seafarer may be, families and friends are an integral part of their lifecycle.

At the Fiji Maritime Academy, cadets are taught the life and sacrifices of being a seafarer.

This includes emotional preparations where they have to make sacrifices as a seagoing seafarer.

Lecturer and consultant marine engineer Mahesa Abeynayake said in the past they spent months and even years out at sea with no communication to their loved ones.

The only modes of communication for seafarers were by telex/fax and morse code as there was no satellite system.

This modern day and age with much-more improved and developed communication systems, most seafarers are connected with their families.

Although the ships now have all the modern communication systems available, Mr Abeynayake said young seafarers must be prepared to live away from families for a long time.

"The employment contracts are now much shorter that the ones I was used to but port stays are short. I spent two years at sea on my first vessel.

"The ship touched the home port four times within those 24 months. Once at sea there was no communication with home," he shared about his experiences.

Mr Abeynayake said young people wanting a seagoing career must be ready to make those sacrifices and it is essential that they are being prepared for such outcomes.

At the Fiji Maritime Academy, he said most of the senior staff have been to sea, understood the emotions attached to leaving family and friends behind and have a pretty good idea as to what is required for a seafarer to prepare themselves for a long stint away.

"There are other preparations taught including dress code and ship discipline, all to prepare the seafarer.

"However, there is one area that every young trainee must query of themselves when choosing this unique and exciting life path on the ocean," Mr Abeynayake said.
