Iranian container ship broke in two? Singapore Strait accident UPDATE
SAMUDRA SAKTI I was refloated at around 1600 UTC May 11, taken to nearby Batam Anchorage, anchored. SHAHRAZ as of 0820 UTC May 12 remained aground, and judging from latest available photos, it seems like she broke in two in midship area, hull having vertical cracks both portside and stb, throughout freeboard and below waterline.

Container ship SHAHRAZ and bulk carrier SAMUDRA SAKTI I are reported to run aground in Singapore Strait south of St John Island at around 1900 UTC May 10, close to each other, while proceeding in the same direction, probably trying to avoid collision. As of 0700 UTC May 11, both ships remain in the same positions, coordinates don’t change. SHAHRAZ is en route from Port Klang to Yangshan China, SAMUDRA SAKTI I is en route from Belawan to Bayah, southwest Java.
UPDATE May 11 1100 UTC: I’ve received photos from Captain of the ship which passed grounded ships, obviously there was a collision, container ship sustaining hull breach and cracks portside. Judging from photo, SHAHRAZ hull integrity may be compromised.

UK Government Urged to Exempt Seafarers from Quarantine - The Maritime Executive
As the UK government announces plans for coming out of COVID-19 lockdwon, the UK Chamber of Shipping has urged it to exempt seafarers and maritime workers from any quarantine restrictions and to provide industry with urgent clarification on the rules around the 14-day quarantine.

Speaking on May 10, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced plans for a 14-day quarantine period for air passengers, but he did not mention people entering the country by sea.

The Chamber has been involved in calls with ministers over the weekend and whilst it has been assured by government that seafarers will be exempt from the quarantine rule, it awaits urgent confirmation that this is the case.

UK Chamber of Shipping Chief Executive Bob Sanguinetti said: “The UK shipping industry employs nearly 200,000 people and it is imperative the UK government avoids applying quarantine restrictions to seafarers and other maritime workers.

“If we want to ensure supply chains remain open, and essential goods including food, fuel, raw materials and vital medical supplies continue to flow into the country, it is vital that seafarers and maritime workers can move between countries without imposition. We urgently call on the government to provide the industry with clarity on this issue.”

Around 2,000 UK seafarers are currently stranded around the world due to COVID-19 lockdowns. The Maritime Executive

Critically Ill Seafarer Finally Rescued - The Maritime Executive
A 45-year-old seafarer aboard a large cargo ship who began to show signs of suffering a stroke in mid-April has been rescued rescued following swift intervention from UN agencies.

The seafarer seemed confused, his speech was laborious, he had pain under the left shoulder and his left arm and leg were paralyzed. Global Voyager Assistance, a remote medical assistance provider, confirmed the stroke diagnosis, but the ship was more than 220 kilometers from the nearest port, and the port authorities rejected initial appeals for emergency medical assistance due to COVID-19 restrictions in place.

Despite repeated requests from the vessel’s captain, the seafarer’s national trade union and that of the country the ship was headed for, the ship could not enter port. After several hours of intense discussions, the ship initially received confirmation that the vessel could enter port for the medical transfer to take place. However, that decision was reversed just six hours before the ship was due to arrive, and the captain was advised to set course for another port, in a different country, over 600 kilometers away....  The Maritime Executive

Protecting seafarers and the global supply chain during Covid-19 - MIT News
The offshore and shipping industries are grappling with unique challenges in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. The virus’ rapid spread on ships like the Diamond Princess and USS Theodore Roosevelt highlighted the health risks that the 1.2 million workers currently at sea face. Travel restrictions and closed borders offer an additional challenge by not only disrupting the global supply chain, but preventing scheduled crew changeovers from taking place.

To address these issues, the UN Global Compact Action Platform for Sustainable Ocean Business recently released recommendations developed by their Covid-19 Task Force. Thomas Peacock, professor of mechanical engineering, is a member of the task force, along with representatives from professional societies, international agencies, industry, nonprofits, and academia.

According to the International Chamber of Shipping, 90 percent of traded goods are transported via shipping. On a typical day, there are 50,000 vessels at sea, making a total of 4 million ports of call annually. Meanwhile, offshore platforms supply one third of the world’s oil and gas.

“The shipping and offshore industries are the heart of the global supply chains,” explains Peacock. “Governments need to take a unified approach to not only avoid disruptions to the international supply chain, but to protect the health of seafarers.”... MIT News

Ray of hope for 150,000 seafearers stranded in ships - Business Daily
More than 150,000 seafarers currently stranded aboard ships in the world are set to find a way out after the International Maritime Organization (IMO) issued a roadmap to have them return to their homes in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic.

The recommendations of the IMO are contained in the 12-step plan to its 174 member States, which will act as a roadmap to free seafarers from their Covid-19 lockdown and allow appropriate exemptions for them to join or leave ships.

The organisation made the recommendations in a circular last week which was also copied to all IMO member States, United Nations and specialised agencies, intergovernmental organisations, and non-governmental organisations in consultative status with IMO.

In some of its recommendations, IMO wants governments and relevant national authorities to designate professional seafarers and marine personnel, regardless of nationality when in their jurisdiction, as "key workers" providing an essential service.... Business Daily

Uruguay To Evacuate Crew Of Coronavirus-Hit Cruise - MarineLink
The 86 crew members of the Greg Mortimer cruise ship, stranded in Uruguayan waters since March 27, began their evacuation to Montevideo on Tuesday following an outbreak of the new coronavirus on board, the government said.

At least 37 positive cases of coronavirus were detected in the last several days, officials said, preventing plans for the ship to travel to the Spanish port of Las Palmas, the original planned destination for the tourist trip, which is operated by Australian company Aurora Expeditions.

Uruguayan government and company officials decided to disembark the crew in Montevideo after several days of talks. They will be divided into two groups, based on those who tested positive, and provided accommodations, officials said.

Most of the total 128 passengers originally on board had tested positive on the cruise ship.

The passengers, mainly from the United States, Britain, Sweden, France, Holland, Canada, Switzerland, Australia and New Zealand, were evacuated in two groups on April 10 and 15. The ship’s crew had stayed on board to complete a quarantine period.

India: Smiling and frowning seafarers drive from institutional to home quarantine - Oherald
Smiling wildly, the seafarers stepped out of Ginger Hotel on Tuesday morning after completing the 14 days of institutional quarantine since their return to Goa after disembarking from the Marella Discovery cruise ship at Mumbai port. But, there were some grim faces too, they had another 14 days of home quarantine to undergo, which is a part of the health protocol.

“We were tested twice at Mumbai port and on our return to Goa. Both tests were negative despite this all of us were quarantined for 14 days. Now that we have completed institutional quarantine, why an additional 14 days of home quarantine?” asked Adrian D’Souza, speaking to Herald while en route to his residence at Shiroda, on Tuesday evening.

The Goan seafarers, onboard the Marella Discovery, were brought to their homeland via road on April 28 and driven straight to Ginger Hotel, a paid quarantine facility. Swab tests on them for COVID-19 were conducted by the health team, and all the results were negative. ...  Oherald
