Six missing Iranian crew of cargo ship found aboard a tug.
RAJKOT: The six Iranian crew members who had abandoned their cargo ship at Mul Dwarka port in Gir Somnath district after it was told to move out of the port owing to cyclone Vayu, have been found moving in a tug in the Arabian Sea. They have been identified as Mehrdad Timaji, Mohammad Raeisi Jahromi, Babak Hajiani, Ebrahim Omidi and Sajjad Masoudi. As per law if any crew abandons the ship, the marine police takes them into custody. However, the procedure to bring them on land from the sea is a labyrinthine process.
Therefore, Gujarat Marine Police informed the shipping company which appointed a legal agent to handle with their transfer procedures. According to International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) sources, after the intervention of Kandla Seafarers Welfare Association (KSWA), these six men can now go back to their country within 2-3 days. A cargo ship from Iran reached Mul Dwarka port a few days ago. This GMB operated port is majorly used for importing coal and exporting cement.
However, looking at the cyclonic situation and to avoid damages to the jetty from docked vessels, the Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) asked the MV Seashell to go back to mid sea. However, these six crew members, who are Iranian nationals, refused to go back with their ship claiming it to be 'defective'.
According to Mukesh Vasu, administrator of the KSWA, who is also helping these six men reach home, After the ship returned to its country of origin,
the family members of these six missing crew members informed the ITF and we started a search. Vasu is also ITF inspector at Kandla. In the meantime an owner of a tug which goes to supply cargo to the ship informed police that six Iranian crew members were on board the tug for the last five days.
"The police then informed GMB which instructed the tug to keep the men inside the tug," said Vasu. "The shipping company has appointed an agent who is completing the formalities and the six men will return home within two-three days. Till that time all facilities have been arranged for their stay. We were also ready to provide financial assistance if required," he added."

Panama Canal to Modify Its Tolls Structure
The Panama Canal has released a proposal to modify its current tolls structure with an "aim to better serve the global maritime industry," according to Jorge L. Quijano, the canal Administrator.
The move marks the beginning of a 30-day formal consultation period for industry feedback, which will close on July 15, 2019.
"Our proposed modifications will increase transparency and flexibility, among other improvements, to ensure the Panama Canal remains competitive and optimal for the industry today and moving forward," Quijano added.
For the dry bulk segment, the proposal offers matching the tolls charged to Neopanamax vessels carrying iron ore with the tolls assessed for grains and "other dry bulk" cargoes, as well as a tariff increase for Neopanamax dry bulkers transiting in ballast.
The proposal also aims to add transparency to the tolls structure of the passenger segment by charging based on the maximum passenger capacity that can be carried by each specific passenger vessel. To that end, the canal is proposing to change the unit of measurement from a "per berth" to a "per passenger" basis, making it easier for cruise lines to transfer transit costs to their customers, the authority explained.
For the containership segment the proposed toll modifications "will help retain and incentivize increased cargo volumes" through the Panama Canal. Specifically, the proposal offers more attractive rates for customers who benefit from the Panama Canal Loyalty Program by adding new levels with reduced rates in the capacity charge for shipping lines deploying between 2 million to 3 million TEUs, and additional reductions for lines deploying an incremental over 3 million TEUs. The incentive implemented in the last toll modification of fiscal year 2018 for total TEU loaded in the return voyage (TTLR) will remain in effect.
Additionally, the proposed modifications for the Vehicle Carrier and RoRo segment include a new tariff category or range precisely designed for Neopanamax vessels to account vessel sizes and capacity, as well as slight increments in tolls tariffs for Panamax-sized vessels, as well as minor adjustments based on vessel size ranges.
Toll structures for tankers, chemical tankers, LPG and LNG vessels remain unchanged, but tolls adjustments are proposed to more closely align with the value of the route.
Small vessels and local tourism market would see the tolls revised upwards to take into account the resources used in the transit and the complexity of accommodating these vessels within the locks chambers.
Lastly, the canal proposed to review the rates charged to vessels carrying containers on deck, which do not belong to the container shipping segment, to allow for differentiated charges for containers that are empty, dry or refrigerated.

China, South Korea Hammer Out Ballast Water Exchange Deal
International ships flying a Republic of Korea flag or a Chinese five-star flag and sailing between China and South Korea will no longer be required to conduct ballast water exchange, according to shipping association BIMCO.
Taking into account the difficulties found in carrying out a safe and efficient ballast water exchange in the waters between China and South Korea, the maritime safety administration of China has issued a notice exempting such ships from conducting ballast water exchange in accordance with the ballast water management (BWM) convention regulation B-4.1 and D-1.
BIMCO pointed out that this notice applies where conducting a ballast water exchange in accordance with regulations B-4.1 and D-1 is not possible.
To meet exemption criteria the water depth of the sailing route of the ships should be less than 50 meters or the sailing route distance should be less than 100 nautical miles from the territorial sea baseline of the destination port in China.
The exemption runs from June 1, 2019 to September 7, 2024, according to BIMCO. By this date, almost of all the merchant fleet is expected to move to meeting the requirements of regulation D-2 of the BWM convention and there would be no need for conducting ballast water exchanges unless in exceptional circumstances.

DSME, NAPA, KMOU, and AVL Team Up on Developing Digital Ships
Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME), Korea Maritime and Ocean University (KMOU), NAPA and AVL have signed a strategic cooperation agreement to develop digital ships and related strategic solutions.
The deal was signed at Nor-Shipping 2019 exhibition in Oslo held from June 4 to 7.
As explained, the agreement will combine the four parties expertise in naval architecture and shipbuilding, engines, big data, and software development to pioneer new solutions that combine all of these elements for the first time.
Specifically, the collaboration will cover all aspects of creating comprehensive digital twins - from the acquisition and processing of quality engine room data, ship performance and meteorological data to the training, simulation and human machine interface that will be necessary to turn insights from engine data into practical efficiencies.
"The development of digital twin ship and engine is one of the most exciting outcomes of the recent surge in maritime digitalization and development of the Internet of Things. By creating a virtual, real-time copy of engine equipment, we can better monitor, analyze, and predict performance, leading to safer and more efficient operations," Odin Kwon, CTO of DSME, commented.
"Digital twins bring together a range of different fields of expertise, requiring hardware, software and operations to work together. This is why collaboration is essential if this technology is to mature… We’re excited to work together to develop digital twin technology and a platform that will make future generations of ships safer and smarter," Kwon added.
"We are actively entering into digital era in the industry nowadays which could be a basis for the development of autonomous ship. Building a digital platform should be well balanced between actual application of technology and academic basis," Professor Deog Hee Doh from KMOU said.
He further said that KMOU faculty members have started developing a platform in which AR/VR and digital twin technology are embedded. According to the professor, the university will focus on providing a knowledge-based platform in the fields of simulations and communications related to digital ships extending to AR/VR.
"New generations of vessels will set the standard for decades to come, and digital infrastructure will be just as important as the physical and mechanical elements of a newbuild," Naoki Mizutani, Executive Vice President, Shipping Solutions at NAPA, noted.
Each partner brings a different angle to the collaboration, coordinated by DSME. NAPA will develop digital twin ship models with digitalized components and a real-time simulation platform to integrate between engine models and ship models.
Meanwhile, AVL will develop the simulation tools and methodologies that the partnership projects will require.
Additionally, KMOU will contribute by providing the existing infrastructure as a basis for further development and optimization.
