Five of 21 Indian seafarers on board MT Afra Oak released by Indonesian Navy
Five Indian seafarers released by Indonesian Navy will reach India on Monday evening. In a significant development, Indonesia authorities had on Sunday allowed five Indian seafarers to disembark from the merchant vessel MT Afra Oak that the Indonesian Navy had arrested. In a letter to the Ministry of External Affairs and Indonesian authorities, the ship crew said the Indonesia Navy, Immigration and other authorities had considered their grievance seriously. "We, Afra Oak crew understand the cause of delay due to the procedures to be followed for crew released," they said in the letter.
"We thank the authorities for their kind consideration and cooperation sending back the first batch of five crew and expect the same kind of gesture in future for sending all other crew back to their sweet home," the crew said.
The five out of the 21 Indian seafarers on board who disembarked will reach India on Monday.
Capt Sanjay Prashar, vice-president of Forum for Integrated National Security, said the five Indian seafarers would reach India by Monday evening. "Hope appears and strengthens with this fruitful happening," he said.
The issue of the seafarers stuck in Indonesia was also raised by FINS during a meeting with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in New Delhi recently.
He said five crew members had signed off from the vessel and the rest would follow soon. "Indonesian Navy has relented and finally shown respect to human rights of Indian seafarers," he said.
The decision of the authorities to allow some of the Indian seafarers to leave has given hope to the rest of the 17 on board. There are a total of 28 seafarers on it, including some from the Philippines.
Much as there is relief that some of the seafarers have been allowed to disembark and leave, there hangs a question mark on the goings-on. The crew, in a letter earlier, to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the external affairs ministry had alleged corruption by the Indonesian Navy and that they had been detained against the rules. The Indonesia Navy had arrested MT Afra Oak and some other ships on the charge that they had violated rules and entered Indonesian territorial waters near Batam Island. Since this happened in February 12, they had been pleading with the authorities to let them go because they had committed no crime and as per their maps they were in international waters.
TOI first broke the news on May 18 that 87 Indian seafarers were stuck on five ships in Indonesia because of the Indonesian Navy arresting the ships and booking cases against the seafarers. The seafarers in letters to the authorities said the criminalization of seafarers was affecting them badly and wanted that they be released and allowed to go home back to India.

Safe Bulkers Installs, Commissions Its First Scrubber
Monaco-based dry bulk shipping company Safe Bulkers has installed and commissioned the first scrubber on board itd Post-Panamax vessel MV Martine.
The company informed that the 2009-built vessel now features an open loop, U-Type, Alfa Laval PureSOx scrubber.
During commissioning the new equipment was tested in several loads "complying comfortably with the stricter 0.1% sulphur fuel content limit applicable in Environmentally Controlled Areas (ECA)," Safe Bulkers said.
The installation of the scrubber was done concurrently with ballast water treatment system during the scheduled dry-docking of the vessel, as part of its second special survey at Cosco Guangzhou shipyard.
The company is scheduled to install another 18 scrubbers during 2019 and one more in the first quarter of 2020.
In September 2018, Safe Bulkers agreed a detailed schedule for the installation of Alfa Laval PureSOx scrubbers in about half of its fleet with Cosco Shipping Heavy Industry.
At the time, the company said it would install scrubbers in five Kamsarmax class vessels, thirteen Post-Panamax class vessels and the recently acquired Capesize class vessel, while it maintains an option for an additional scrubber.

Bureau Veritas Joins International Windship Association
Classification society Bureau Veritas has joined the International Windship Association (IWSA) to help further the development of primary renewable solutions.
"A key focus area for BV is supporting safety and new technology including wind powered or wind assisted shipping. We are looking forward to working with the BV team in supporting the development of the growing technology segment," IWSA said.
BV s membership comes amid the shipping industry s search for low carbon and zero emissions technologies that would deliver on the International Maritime Organization (IMO) initial strategy of reducing emissions by at least 50% by 2050.
The classification society would bring "a wealth of experience" to IWSA and fits well with the association s longer term development approach, with the establishment of regional wind propulsion centers of excellence or hubs around the world.
IWSA, the not-for-profit organization, has for the last 5 years been bringing together wind propulsion projects, research organisations and projects and promoting the wind as a credible, viable and increasingly economic option for commercial vessels.
This pace of development in wind propulsion is slated to continue, with an EU commissioned report on the wind propulsion market in 2017 predicting up to over 10,000 wind propulsion installations by 2030.

SMARTShip Solution Wins ClassNK Approval
Ship classification society ClassNK has awarded type approval certification for SMARTShip, a digital shipping solution developed by Alpha Ori Technologies (AOT).
As explained, this Internet of Things (IoT) platform enables the onboard operation of multiple systems with varying degrees of autonomy.
The solution has already been installed on more than 30 vessels. Another 60 ships are at various stages of the set-up process, according to Synergy Group.
ClassNK s certification for SMARTShip approves the solution as a computer-based system which conforms to the class society s rules governing a product performing remote monitoring and diagnostics, situational awareness and decision support systems , both onboard and ashore.
Hourai Maru, a mid-sized gas carrier delivered in March 2019, was the first ship certified with a ClassNK-approved SMARTShip.
Captain Rajesh Unni, Co-CEO of AOT and CEO and Founder of Singapore-based shipmanager Synergy Group, welcomed the certification of SMARTShip by ClassNK.
"Technology is transforming our industry. AOT’s approach to tackling pain points and enabling rules-based decision-making gives clients added transparency and delivers multiple operational, financial and environmental benefits," Unni commented.
AOT s SMARTShip platform is said to take a holistic approach to solving maritime pain-point issues for every stakeholder in the logistics value chain - shipowners, ship managers, ship operators, port management, surveyors, ship registries, P&I clubs and shipbuilders. Data is collected from all parts of the ship to make a platform which connects disparate systems. This enables the continual monitoring and collection of data, helping crew and managers make rules-based decisions.
"SMARTShip leverages AOT s proprietary hardware and software and cloud-based infrastructure to collect and transmit more than 5,000 data points from various systems onboard," Captain Unni noted.
"It utilises the data collected to make value for stakeholders, often including additional information such as weather overlay, statutory and regulatory information etc. The front-end user experience includes intuitive applications which facilitate monitoring and diagnostics of operational issues."
Several shipowners reported on performance improvements yielded by SMARTShip.
"With digitalisation disrupting entire industries, we seek to realise the competitive advantage… The SMARTShip solution from Alpha Ori Technologies enables us to combine our vessel s operational data with a range of external data so that in real-time we can optimize performance on single vessels and across our entire fleet," Martin Ackermann, CEO of BW LPG, a leading client of AOT, said.
"We see great potential in improving safety, reducing costs and enhancing performance for the benefit of all our stakeholders," he pointed out.
"Alpha Ori Technology s SMARTShip system has introduced a whole new vision in the approach to ship operations for us at Kumiai Senpaku. We certainly feel that its transparency and the reliability of information it gives us makes it a very efficient and effective tool in improving commercial and operational enhancement. Our expectations have also been met on fuel optimisation and predictive maintenance programmes. Our charterers and managers will continue to benefit from this," Capt. Rajeeva Mathur, COO of Southern Pacific Holding Corporation C/O Kumiai Senpaku, added.
Features such as the optimization of total fuel consumption and the creation of intelligent alerts and leading indicators are an integral part of SMARTShip.
"SMARTShip s remote monitoring & diagnostics provides clients with the capability to troubleshoot remotely. This generates huge savings on the usual cost required to send a service engineer to the actual location of the ship for troubleshooting," according to Unni.
SMARTShip s situational awareness decision support system (DSS) incorporates applications including SMARTAlert notifications for preventing incidents, total fuel oil consumption fuel optimization application and ASSET AI predictive maintenance applications.
