CMES Prepares to Order VLCC Quartet
China Merchants Energy Shipping (CMES), a part of the China Merchants Group, has revealed its plans to order up to four very large crude carriers (VLCCs).
Namely, during a meeting held in early November the company s Board of Directors voted for placing the orders for the new units.
The company will pay no more than USD 85 million per ship, CMES said in a stock exchange filing.
No further details related to the order were provided.
The development comes on the back of the company s latest fleet addition on November 8, when the VLCC New Treasure was named and handed over at China s Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Company.
The 300,000 dwt unit, which boosted CMES VLCC fleet to 53 vessels, is the first super-large crude oil ship designed and built with an aim to further cut emissions, according to the company.

Singapore Welcomes Its Largest Containership to Date
The 23,656 TEU MSC Isabella made its maiden call at the Port of Singapore on November 10, 2019, becoming the largest containership to visit this port to date.
The ultra large container vessel (ULCV) is one of the eleven new ships from Mediterranean Shipping Company s (MSC) Gulsun-class of boxships. The Gulsun-Class is currently the world s largest series of containerships.
Featuring a length of 400 meters and a width of 61 meters, the newbuild can carry up to 24 rows of containers, with a height of 13 tiers on deck. Its length exceeds that of the Eiffel Tower and it can transport the equivalent of about 384 million pairs of shoes.
Aside from its capacity, the vessel is also equipped to carry more than 2,000 refrigerated containers.
PSA Singapore s container terminal is MSC Isabella s first port-of-call in Asia after sailing back from Europe. Delivered to MSC by South Korean shipbuilder Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) in August 2019, the vessel started sailing from the Qingdao port on August 28 and has now completed its first round-trip between Asia and Europe.
"Our biggest and most energy efficient ships are being deployed on the Asia-Europe trade, which demonstrates our continued commitment to this largest and busiest trade corridor. We are delighted to welcome the first port call in Singapore by MSC Isabella from our largest Gulsun-Class of ships," YJ Tan, Regional Managing Director for MSC Asia Regional Office in Singapore, commented.
Deployed on MSC s Swan service, the vessel will next call at the Port of Hong Kong after leaving Singapore.
MSC Isabella belongs to the series of the most energy-efficient ships in MSC s fleet of container vessels, with the lowest carbon footprint per container carried by design. A combination of the latest green technologies and greater economies of scale have helped reduce energy requirements over time, according to MSC. Some of the features include the optimized shape of the ship’s bulbous bow and rudder bulb lower resistance while sailing, further enhancing energy efficiency.
What is more, MSC Isabella is fitted with an IMO-approved hybrid exhaust gas cleaning system and has the option of switching to low-sulphur fuel or to be adapted for LNG use in the future, complying with the upcoming IMO sulphur cap 2020.

NRF: Imports at Top US Ports to See Final Tariff-Driven Surge of 2019
Imports at major U.S. retail container ports are expected to see their final surge of the year this month ahead of new tariffs set to take effect in December, according to the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates.
"Retailers are highly competitive, but the ability to compete has been challenging this year because of the uncertainty of the trade war and continued tariff escalation," Jonathan Gold, NRF Vice President for Supply Chain and Customs Policy, said.
"Retailers are encouraged by reports that China and the United States have agreed to remove at least some of the existing tariffs once a phase one deal is signed. We are eager to see concrete evidence that the trade war is coming to an end with a final deal that removes all tariffs."
President Trump announced tentative agreement on a partial trade deal with China last month, but officials are still working on the details and have not announced a date or location for the measure to be signed. An October tariff increase was canceled and, according to news reports, some tariffs could be removed, but there has been no word on a new round of tariffs on consumer goods currently scheduled to take effect December 15, NRF informed.
"Industry planning is in a state of confusion with the on-again, off-again tariff increases and the widening of trade disputes," Ben Hackett, Hackett Associates Founder, said.
U.S. ports covered by Global Port Tracker handled 1.87 million TEUs in September, up 0.2 percent year-over-year but down 4.7 percent from August, when imports saw their second-highest level on record 1.97 million TEU ahead of tariffs that took effect September 1.
October was estimated at 1.93 million, down 5.2 percent from last year s record 2 million TEU. November is forecast at 1.96 million TEU, up 8.3 percent year-over-year, but imports are expected to fall to 1.78 million TEU in December, down 9.2 percent from near-record numbers last year ahead of scheduled tariffs that were later postponed.

ABS Introduces Industry s 1st Guide to Tackle Containership Fire Issue
Classification society ABS has issued the shipping industry s first guide to address firefighting and safety systems of cargo holds of container vessels.
The newly released ABS Guide for Fire-Fighting Systems for Cargo Areas of Container Carriers contains a broad range of notations to tackle cargo fires.
In the past, a series of high-profile fires occurred in cargo holds aboard boxships. This year alone has seen an alarming number of containership fires including Yantian Express, APL Le Havre, APL Vancouver, Grande America, E.R. Kobe and KMTC Hong Kong.
"Container carriers have grown much larger in recent years and the volume of cargo carried has expanded significantly. In addition, the nature of the cargo has changed. Fires involving containers, especially with the volume and type of cargo now being carried, are becoming more frequent and can present a significant risk to the safety of the crew and the vessel," Gareth Burton, ABS Vice President of Technology, explained.
"Aligned with the ABS safety mission, we address this issue and provide guidance for the development of robust designs that are better suited to address this key industry challenge."
According to ABS, the guide is for the use of designers, builders, owners and operators in the marine industry and specifies the ABS requirements for addressing fire safety in four key areas - fire-fighting for containers stowed on deck, fire-fighting for containers stowed below, fire safety of the deckhouse and container hold flooding as a measure for fire-fighting.
These notations address early fire detection, more efficient fire suppression, better protection of crew, and the safety considerations associated with cargo hold flooding as a means of fire-fighting. These requirements are above and beyond current SOLAS and related industry regulations.
Last month, the International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI) expressed its concerns about the escalation of containership fires, calling for an urgent improvement of onboard firefighting systems.
IUMI called for all stakeholders to work together and encourage IMO to strengthen fire protection in the cargo area of container vessels, amend SOLAS by explicitly including active and/or passive fire protection on board new container vessels and consider the need to address the firefighting equipment of existing container vessels.

Reducing Ship Speeds Has Multiple Benefits, New Study Shows
Slower ship speeds would massively reduce the damage shipping is causing to human health, nature and the climate, a new report published by Seas at Risk and Transport & Environment (T&E) has highlighted.
According to the two Brussels-based environmental NGOs, the large positive effect that reduced speeds can have on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is well known. What has received less attention is the positive effect such a change in speeds would have on nature and human health.
The report describes how a modest 20% reduction in ship speed would reduce underwater noise pollution by 66%, and the chance of a fatal collision between a ship and a whale by a massive 78%. Both noise and whale strikes are having a serious impact on the health of the marine environment.
Moreover, reduced ship speed means reduced fuel burn, resulting not just in reductions in GHG emissions but also big reductions in black carbon, sulphur and nitrogen oxides, all important air pollutants. SOx and NOx emissions have serious implications for human health, while black carbon is a concern in the Arctic where it is responsible for accelerating global heating.
The new study was commissioned ahead of the latest round of UN ship climate negotiations at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in London. The 6th session of the IMO Marine Environmental Protection Committee Intersessional Working Group on GHG Emissions (ISWG-GHG6) is meeting from November 11 to 15 in order to consider proposals for short-term measures to tackle shipping s climate impact, amongst them to reduce ship speeds.
"Speed reduction is the closest thing to a silver bullet the IMO will ever see," John Maggs from Seas at Risk said.
"Delegates attending this week s IMO climate negotiations have on the table proposals to reduce ship speed that would not just make a big dent in shipping s climate impact but would massively reduce air pollution, underwater noise pollution, and the incidence of fatal collisions between whales and ships, all issues that the IMO must also deal with."
"Killing four birds with one stone is pretty good, but when you add in that it saves shipowners money on their fuel bill, it really is a no-brainer," Faig Abbasov from Transport & Environment added.
