Iran Shipping Subsidiaries are Under the Process of Sanctions
The subsidiaries of the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) are under the process of sanctions, as told by Mohammad Hossein Dajmar, Managing Director - IRISL.

Iran’s ISNA news agency quoted Dajmar saying, “As of now, our trade deals are East Asian countries like China, Korea, Taiwan, and Malaysia,”

Under the authority of sanctions, IRISL ships are not permitted to sail towards European countries, Australia, and Canada.

As soon as the sanctions are cleared, foreign trade will rise remarkably, earlier Germany was a leading trading partner with IRISL, but currently China and India are the leading trading partners.

No new sanctions have been levied on IRISL in the month of April, despite the current sanctions against IRISL, the volume of shipments has increased.

Majority of the RISL ships have changed their destination from Europe to East Asia, especially China and India, over recent years, he noted.

In the month of January, EU’s second highest court annulled sanctions on 40 shipping companies and an Iranian bank, which had been stuck by asset freezes as a part of pressure on Tehran. The General Court struck down the sanctions, saying the EU had not given valid reasons for saying that IRISL was supporting nuclear proliferation.

As per the EU’s Official Journal on April 8, European Union has reinstated sanctions on an Iranian bank and 32 shipping companies, a couple of days after an agreement on Tehran’s nuclear program was reached.

BMT announced plans of launching its Unique Fleet Management System at Nor-Shipping
BMT SMART Ltd (BMT), which specialises in fleet and vessel performance management company of BMT Group, will be launching its new, cost-effective SMARTFLEET Management system at Nor-Shipping in Oslo by next month. Technical experts will be showcasing the system and its capabilities during the discussion with delegates their specific challenges and needs.

Peter Mantel, Managing Director of BMT SMART said: “Whilst there are cost savings to be made through on-board optimisation, these are often extremely difficult to quantify in a verifiable way and these kind of tools can be looked as a burden to the crew. This was main reason that we wanted to focus on shore-side performance management and deliver ship owners and charterers with an easy to use shore based management tool which can manage whole fleets of vessels and not just those that they own and operate.”

The SMARTFLEET Management system applies accurate metocean data in along with BMT’s powerful algorithms to isolate the different components that contribute to overall vessel performance and in turn, help identify the cause of the inefficiencies and quantify the effectiveness of any adjustments that have been made.The system incorporates five unique KPI’s like Power coefficient, Fuel coefficient, Hull condition coefficient, Propeller condition coefficient, and SFOC coefficient

Greece invites binding bids for Piraeus port sale
For countries biggest port - Piraeus, Greece has asked three firms to submit binding bids by the month September to for a majority stake, as told by a senior privatization official to Reuters.

Previous year Greece had shortlisted China’s Cosco Group and four other groups for a 67 percent stake in Piraeus Port, but the sale was halted post Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s leftist government came into power this year.

The sale is expected to have one of the major concessions offered by Tsipras to EU and IMF lenders during ongoing talks to secure aid.

On Wednesday Athens approached with an amended invitation to bid for 51 percent rather than the previous 67 percent stake to investors, the official said.

Out of the five initial bidders only three are still interested in the port, which are – Cosco, Dutch container terminal operator APM Terminals, and Philippines-based International Container Terminal Services –, the official said.

“The initial stake would be for 51 percent with an option to reach 67 percent in five years if they invest 300 million euros,” he said. “We would be announcing the winner at the end of September or by early October.”

SINGAPORE: The International Maritime Defence Exhibition and Conference (IMDEX) Asia is all ready to showcase a magnificent technology.
Over 180 companies from 28 countries are expected to take part in IMDEX Asia this year. Organisers said one area that has seen growing interest is in unmanned technology - both in the skies and underwater.
"Unmanned vehicles means less stress on human resources," said Mr Leck. "Human resources is something that's getting very limited across the world.

Seafarer Welfare Organisations Approach EU Governments to Migrants At Sea
Three leading international seafarers’ welfare organisations - the International Christian Maritime Association (ICMA), the International Maritime Health Association (IMHA), and the International Seafarers’ Welfare and Assistance Network (ISWAN), has approached EU governments to acknowledge the vital role of seafarers in the rescue of migrants at sea by sending They have a formal letter to all heads of governments requesting that more resources are mobilised for search and rescue in the Mediterranean region on an urgent basis.

Previous seventeen months over a number of 5,000 migrants have died attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea. Fortunately, merchant seafarers are the life-savers. In the year 2014, seafarers aboard 800 merchant ships rescued 40,000 migrants. Their role in the large scale rescue of migrants should be recognised and honoured.

Despite that, EU governments are still depending on the kindness of seafarers and the legal obligations upon them to tackle with a human tragedy of an unprecedented scale in lieu of committing adequate resources to save migrants’ lives. Merchant ships and crews are not well equipped or properly trained to handle with large scale rescues.

Seafarers are often risking their own safety and security in these large scale rescues. They face unavoidable situations such as recovering bodies and dealing with sick or injured men, women, and children that may have an adverse effect on them and for which they may need counselling or other forms of support. They are no substitute for professionally trained search and rescue personnel. Hence, they must not be used by EU governments as means of ignoring a difficult issue on the doorstep of Europe.

Honorable minister said that giving the port-side services to private investors ‘is a one way street’ for the expansion of the ports as well as sea transport sector, and eventually it will have a remarkable input on the economic development.

More than a decade ago, rival destinations like Malta undertook similar actions, with a favourable impact on their economy, Demetriades said.

The process is identical to the examples that took place at the airports of Larnaca and Paphos, as well as that of the port of Larnaca, the Minister concluded.
