More women becoming seafarers
More women are joining the Philippine maritime industry as seafarers, resulting in improved productivity and reflecting the government’s commitment to the United Nations (UN) to promote gender equality in the sector, state-run National Maritime Polytechnic (NMP) said recently.
According to Grace Marie Ayaso, head of NMP's research and development division, the presence of female seafarers in ships has increased their male counterparts productivity.
"We already have a number of women seafarers enrolled or in ships. We even have two women officers who were training with us and have already boarded," Ayaso said in a briefing in Manila last weekend. They claimed the crew was happier and more disciplined when there were women on board, she added.
This comes more than seven years after the International Maritime Organization (IMO) approved a resolution encouraging female participation in the maritime industry, despite that it remains a male-dominated field. A specialized agency of the UN, IMO is responsible for regulating shipping worldwide. It has 173 member-states, including the Philippines, and three associate members.
The said resolution-IMO Resolution 14-was adopted by 85 countries in 2010 during the Manila amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978 and to the Seafarers Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Code, as amended. It also noted the resolution promoting opportunities for female seafarers that the International Labor Conference of the International Labor Organization (ILO) adopted on February 22, 2006.
The resolution invites governments to give special consideration to men and women having equal access to all the industry's sectors, and to highlight the role of women in seafaring. It also endeavors to identify and overcome challenges facing women in the industry, including the lack of facilities for them in training vessels.
Romulo Bernardes, executive director at NMP, said the number of women in ships continued to increase, recognizing their capability to do jobs once exclusively assigned to men. "By experience and by report, a lot of vessels have become more productive because of the respect accorded to women officers on board. With women on board, the situation has now become different, unlike before," he added.
"Before when there were women on board ships, they were often disrespected, but not now," Bernardes said. As the premier government-owned maritime training and research institution, NMP has value-added courses and other support programs to promote gender equality and address ender-related issues in the maritime sector, specifically the low level of awareness on gender and development among seafarers.
"NMP came up with a gender sensitivity training course for seafarers. This is a non-STCW training course developed by NMP for the Filipino seafarers to increase their level of awareness and appreciation on gender and development," Bernardes said.

IMO is the right organization to regulate maritime industry: BIMCO
The maritime industry needs global regulations for a global industry, which makes the International Maritime Organization, or IMO, the right organization for this task, BIMCO's chief shipping analyst Peter Sand told S&P Global Platts Monday.
The industry does not need more regional or national legislation, added Sand. Just seven months following the enforcement of IMO's Ballast Water Management Convention, some port-states, particularly the US, have come up with more onerous standards than the IMO’s, an observation that has not gone unnoticed by the shipping industry.
"We see the IMO as the right body for global regulations, but we have seen the US running a different show," Sand said. BIMCO is the world’s largest international shipping association, with around 2,000 members in more than 120 countries. Its members include shipowners, operators, managers, brokers and agents.
All ships calling at US ports and intending to discharge ballast water must have US type approved ballast water management systems to either carry out ballast water exchange or treatment, in addition to fouling and sediment management. While there are about 70-80 IMO-approved Ballast Water Management systems, only six BWM systems have received US Coast Guard approval.
"There are no plans to change our requirements or implementation dates due to changes to the IMO Convention. USGC Regulations are not the same as the IMO Implementation," the US Coast Guard said in October. The US is not party to the IMO Convention.
"Even with six systems out there, you still have to find out whether they can be installed on dirty tankers, chemical tankers, and then you have to work out if there is space on the tanker for the retrofit," Intertanko's environment director and regional manager for Asia Pacific Tim Wilkins said. Intertanko or the International Association of Independent Tanker Owners is a group of independent owners and operators of oil, chemical and gas tankers.
To compound matters, the six US Coast Guard approved BWM system manufacturers cannot keep up with demand to manufacture and install them fast enough for shipowners. Although the situation may improve with four other manufacturers having applied for US Coast Guard approval, Wilkins said.
In the meantime, the US Coast Guard will look at ships with broken Ballast Water Management systems on a case-by-case basis, but it is not an ideal situation, he said. "The captain of the port state in the US might say you can partially discharge some ballast water and that will get you through the regulatory requirement, or go out 200 nautical miles and exchange the water, but some vessels don’t accept an exchange," Wilkins said.
The IMO's Ballast Water Management Convention came into force on September 8, 2017, with the aim of protecting native marine environments of countries from non-native aquatic organism in ballast water picked up by ships from different parts of the world. However, it is not just different BWM standards that shipowners have to contend with, but the possibility that another regional maritime body, the European Sea Ports Organisation, could impose its own carbon dioxide regulation if the IMO cannot deliver measures to cap CO2 emissions by 2023, trade sources said.
"It's something that's even more difficult to handle for any shipowner if he is entering different jurisdictions around the globe. He has to consider: "Where am I, what time zone should I change to a different fuel and so on," Sand said.
"My point is that we need a global regulation for a global industry. We should not see more regional, national legislation. It makes a murky picture," he said. Furthermore, the IMO is in the midst of discussions of addressing carbon dioxide emissions in the industry, added Sand. "It may sometimes look from the outside that the IMO is a feet-dragging body, but those who are familiar with the procedures, know that it is absolutely well-functioning. And, once things get approved, it’s really up to the individual member states to implement it" BIMCO's Sand said. "I think we should stop the blame game. There is one global body to regulate the business and that is the IMO," he added.

Passenger Ship Stuck in Ice
The Arctic Umiaq Line passenger ship Sarfaq Ittuk has been stuck in ice in Torssukatak in southern Greenland since last Wednesday. There are 37 passengers and 21 crew members on board the 73-meter (240-foot) vessel, which is not expected to be free until this Wednesday or Thursday.
Arctic Umiaq Line said in an update on its Facebook page: "There is nothing to suggest that the wind changes direction before late Wednesday, which is why we first expect Sarfaq Ittuk to sail north on Thursday morning. We keep an eye on the weather situation, and should there be an opportunity, Sarfaq Ittuk will start her north sailing earlier.

Wartsila VOC Recovery System Can Save Tons of Fuel for Two New Tankers
The technology group Wartsila will supply its Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) recovery technology, LNG fuel gas handling systems and the auxiliary engines for two new shuttle tankers being built for Singapore based AET Tankers at the Samsung Heavy Industries shipyard in South Korea. The order, worth in total more than €30 million, was booked in January 2018.
The ships will operate on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as the primary fuel, but VOC - the gas evaporating from the oil cargo tanks - will also be utilised as fuel by mixing it with the LNG, thereby reducing the vessels bunkering needs. This is made possible by Wartsila s VOC recovery system, which by combining the VOC with the LNG, provides the potential for savings of over 3000 tons of fuel each year per vessel. This is in addition to the notable environmental benefits the use of gas as fuel provides by enabling a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.

MSC container ship banned from Australia
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has banned the Liberian-flagged container ship MSC Kia Ora from Australian ports for three months after the operator failed to ensure crew were paid their wages in full and on time, and that critical equipment was maintained. AMSA inspected the ship in the Port of Brisbane on Wednesday, 14 March 2018 after receiving a complaint alleging that crew had been underpaid. During the inspection AMSA found evidence that crew had been underpaid for the previous four months (November 2017 to February 2018), and were owed more than AU$53,000. The outstanding wages had been transferred to the crew just 24 hours before the inspection.
