With the latest news that a ship containing high amounts of toxic substances will be dismantled in Union Bay, Stand.earth, Georgia Strait Alliance, the NGO Shipbreaking Platform and the Basel Action Network (BAN) once again call upon B.C. federal, provincial and local competent bodies to halt the shipbreaking activities conducted by Deep Water Recovery LTD (DWR) at Union Bay, traditional unceded territory of several First Nations within Baynes Sound.

Nearby residents and K’ómoks First Nation (KFN) have raised serious concerns regarding the conditions at the yard for the past two years.

In February 2022, following local and international pressure, the Comox Valley Regional District Board determined that the scrapping of vessels is not a permitted activity in the Industrial Marine (IM) zone according to the Zoning Bylaw, and sought an injunction against DWR in an attempt to shut it down.

In April 2022, MP Gord Johns raised in the House of Commons the issue of shipbreaking at Union Bay and the lack of national regulation. Yet, despite these developments, local residents inform that operations at DWR have never ceased, with the former US government-owned vessel NOAAS Miller Freeman (R 223) ready to be scrapped.

Given its age and type, the NOAAS Miller Freeman ship is likely to contain high amounts of hazardous substances in its structures, such as toxic paints and asbestos, which are a threat to humans and local wildlife, including shellfish.

The ship was sold at auction in 2013. The Government Services Agency cautioned bidders about the presence of asbestos in pipe insulations, floor tiles, and wallboards. Without mentioning the exact amounts of hazardous materials, the bidding documents specifically recommended the buyer(s) to not release asbestos fibers by “cutting, crushing, sanding, disassembling”, operations that will take place at DWR once the vessel is completely pulled out of the water.

In addition to stopping the work in Union Bay, a federally designated zone of water that is biologically significant, the groups call on the Federal Government and the Province to regulate shipbreaking in Canada and mandate that vessels be recycled in a safe and environmentally sound manner at proper industrial sites that ensure a contained environment.

The Poseidon Principles enable financial institutions to align their ship finance portfolios with responsible environmental behavior and incentivize international shipping decarbonization. As the latest Signatory, CaixaBank commits to collecting emissions data related to its ship finance portfolio, and to publicly reveal how its ship finance activities align with global climate goals.

Roger Torrella, Executive Director of Asset Finance, CaixaBank, said: “As a leading player in the shipping industry, CaixaBank is extremely proud to be the first Spanish financial institution to adhere to Poseidon Principles.

“This initiative represents a major milestone in our sustainability strategy and provides testimony to our commitment to support shipping clients in their pursuit of climate neutrality. We will work tirelessly together with the organization and our co-members to position the shipping industry at the forefront of environmental sustainability.”

Poseidon Principles Signatories benchmark the climate intensity of their ship finance portfolios against the IMO’s ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping by at least 50% by 2050. The scores are made public on an annual basis.

“I am pleased to welcome CaixaBank to the Poseidon Principles and am encouraged by the increasing diversity of banks among our ranks. The maritime sector’s success in tackling shipping decarbonization will in large part depend on collaboration. We invite other responsible financial institutions to join the Poseidon Principles and take up their role in promoting responsible environmental stewardship,” added Michael Parker, Chairman of Global Shipping Logistics & Offshore at Citi and Chair of the Poseidon Principles Association.

Maersk’s rainbow 40-foot container – one of 19 containers (and growing) that are deployed in the company’s global operations participated in the Charlotte Pride Parade on August 21.

Maersk maintains a fleet of specially-painted rainbow containers which participate in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) events around the world. The rainbow containers have appeared in Pride events and parades this summer in Copenhagen, Denmark; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Vienna, Austria; Warsaw, Poland; Genoa, Italy; Zurich, Switzerland; Chennai, India; Santiago, Chile; Guayaquil, Ecuador and Lima, Peru amongst others.

On August 19, the rainbow container was at the Maersk Charlotte office on 9300 Arrowpoint Boulevard as part of an employee event featuring local North Carolina barbeque food, a taco truck and music for employees – who were able to go inside the container to sign their names in support of the initiative.

For both this event and the parade, the Maersk rainbow container was mounted to a Pride-decorated 40-foot chassis provided by DCLI, the largest supplier of chassis equipment to the U.S. intermodal industry.

Derrick Shirley, Maersk North America’s Regional Head of HR Business Partners, based in Charlotte, said: “Maersk is proud to demonstrate our commitment to DEI which are core principles of our company working environment. Maersk’s rainbow containers have served as a symbol of inclusion and diversity, boldly sharing with the world the company’s stand on creating a culture where all employees, partners, and customers feel welcomed and can be themselves without judgment.”

Shirley accompanied the container in the Charlotte Pride Parade as executive sponsor.

Back in July 2020, two Maersk containers were skillfully painted in the United States with a rainbow to join Maersk’s fleet and embarked on their first World Tour. The first part of the journey was aboard the Maersk Edmonton from APM Terminals Pier 400 Los Angeles to Yokohama, Japan. The containers stopped at several locations across Asia and Europe, before finally ending their tour in Denmark for the Copenhagen Pride parade in 2021.

During their World Tour, the containers have been made available to A.P. Moller-Maersk employees during strategic points in the journey for them to sign – and around the world, many have taken the chance to share their hopes for a future of improved diversity and inclusion.

The rainbow fleet of containers are part of Maersk’s working global container fleet and deployments have included humanitarian aid to hurricane survivors in Louisiana on September 6, 2020.

APM Terminals Mobile, Alabama, the Alabama State Port Authority, Maersk Special Projects & Team Rubicon worked together collect over 36,000 lbs. of water, non-perishable food and other emergency supplies for distribution to victims of Hurricane Laura in communities surrounding Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Maersk’s clients have also showed interest in the use of these rainbow containers to move their goods around the world, and during the tour they have visited numerous customer sites for employee events.

Rob Townley, Global Head of Special Project Logistics Growth Enablement in Washington D.C., and one of the initiators of the World Tour, said: “The response from our customers has been overwhelming, with many wanting to be part of the tour and others asking for more rainbow containers.”

In Charlotte, Maersk employs 1000+ people (and growing) along with APM Terminals North America, representing the company’s largest office in Maersk North America’s network of 50 offices and 10,000 colleagues.

Svitzer has announced that it is further strengthening its fleet in Brazil with two newbuilds.

In 2021, Svitzer expanded its port coverage in Brazil by adding Suape and Pecem to the footprint and ordering four newbuilds, also to be delivered by Rio Maguari, as part of the company’s strong growth ambitions in Brazil. With the latest two newbuilds, Svitzer Brazil is further strengthening its fleet to meet customer demands.

Commenting on the investment in new tugs, Daniel Reedtz Cohen, Managing Director Svitzer Brazil says:

“We are running a solid business in Brazil with good volumes and I am very pleased that we are now investing in another two newbuilds as the investment will enable us to expand our port coverage even further to the benefit of our customers. The two new tugs are a vital addition to our existing fleet as they will be equipped with FiFi 1 (firefighting) capabilities, which we know is highly requested by both our customers and port authorities. We have an ambition to serve our customers with Brazilian built vessels and I am therefore also very pleased that we can continue our good partnership with Rio Maguari with this new order.”

The two new tugs will be from the RAmparts 2300 series designed by Robert Allan Ltd. and will be delivered in 2024.

Today, Svitzer Brazil serves seven ports in the country – Suape, Pecem, Santos, Vitoria, Rio Grande, Sao Francisco do Sul and Paranagua – with 17 tugs and employs 160 people.

Reports from Croatia indicate that the start-up company Storylines has entered into a formal construction contract with Brodosplit for its planned resident ship. The delivery date is reported as 2025.

The company reported previously that it had selected Brodosplit for the construction of what they promise will be a revolutionary approach to the residential cruise ship concept. The ship, known as the Narrative, has been in engineering and development for the past few years as Storylines marketed its residents. Reporting indicates the starting price is $1 million rising to as much as $8 million for the individual residences. A limited number of rental apartments are also available with a starting price of $647,000 for a 24-year lease. Total sales revenue of the project is valued at $1.5 billon.

Only one ship has succeeded in launching the residence at sea concept, although several others have explored the idea or tried to market the concept. The World (43,000 gross tons) entered service in 2002 with 165 private residences, although the company requires all the owners to have a full-time residence on shore. Several cruise lines, including Crystal Cruises when it was owned by Genting Hong Kong, proposed incorporating residents as a part of their next generation of cruise ships, only to later abandon the idea. Currently, MSC Cruises however is launched the residence concept as an element aboard its new cruise brand Explora. The company recently said it would increase the number of residences on its third and fourth cruise ships as well as order two more cruise ships all to be built by Fincantieri. The inaugural cruise of Explora I is scheduled for May 2023.

Storylines approach calls for a large passenger ship increasing both the number of residences and the amenities that will be available. The ship will be at least 55,000 gross tons and 741 feet in length. There will be a total of 547 residences aboard each with a private balcony. The crew will reportedly number 450 to provide a full range of services. The design is for a dual-fuel ship that will operate on LNG.

Storylines points out that their concept has all the features of a modern cruise ship but also unique amenities designed for the residence concept. They are saying the ship will feature 20 bars and restaurants, a theater, communal spaces for residents to gather, and a marina to provide a sports platform and dock for watercraft while the vessel is anchored in port. Other cruise ship-style amenities reported include pools, a fitness center, spa, running track, and even a bowling alley.

To support the residences, Storyline says the vessel will have features similar to a small city. This includes everything from an aging clinic to a hospital and a school. There will be office spaces available for working people who are in residence as well as a library, bank, and post office.

“We’re delighted to be partnering with such a respected European shipyard that has a long history of building high-quality passenger ships,” said Storylines CEO Alister Punton in the company’s press release.

The order comes at a critical for Brodospilt. The shipyard found itself caught this spring in the European sanctions again Russian financial institutions. They had a construction finance loan for new expedition cruise ships underway at the yard, but they were unable to draw on the lines due to the sanctions. The company sought the assistance of the government and was forced to begin a pre-bankruptcy process. The yard has suspended employees working on the projects until the financial issues can be resolved.

The Narrative would be the largest and most complex cruise ship built by Brodosplit. They have recently been building smaller cruise ships for the expedition market. They also built assembly blocks for some of the large Fincantieri cruise ship projects. Those blocks were sent to Fincantieri to be incorporated into the cruise ship construction.

Reached by the Croatian media, management confirmed that the construction contract has been signed saying they were hopeful Brodosplit would soon be able to withdraw its bankruptcy petition. Tomislav Debeljak, CEO of the company’s parent company DIV Group, confirmed that the order has been signed. He said technical work is proceeding and he believed that construction work would start shortly.

The digitalisation of maritime communications is one step closer. The SATMAR project of Alén Space and Egatel is preparing the in-orbit validation of the new VDES (VHF Data Exchange System) standard. This initiative includes the design, manufacturing, launch and operation of a nanosatellite to assess the capacity of this new technology to offer new services to the maritime industry and boost its digital transformation.

SATMAR’s goal is to test in a real scenario the viability of a complete satellite communications and services solution with the VDES standard. This innovative project, which is set to revolutionise maritime communications worldwide, is one of the initiatives selected by the Ports 4.0 capital fund, promoted by the Puertos del Estado and the Spanish Port Authorities.

In addition to the launch of a 6U small satellite, scheduled for early 2024, the project also envisages the development of on-board terminals and shore stations, a key step towards the actual deployment of VDES technology.

SATMAR aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new standard, which will integrate the existing AIS maritime communications system. This evolution will allow new services to be offered to improve the safety of vessels.

The advantages of VDES technology include the ability to provide two-way communication, the maintenance of connectivity even at long distances from the coast, the prevention of network saturation problems, more accurate estimation of vessel arrival times, better management of maritime alerts and encryption of transmitted information.

A pioneering project
There are currently no satellite operators that are commercially exploiting the VDES standard, so SATMAR can position itself as a cutting-edge solution for communications in the naval sector. “We want to capture this window of opportunity that we have in front of us to be part of this change and bet on VDES technology,” explains Antonio Vázquez, head of business development and co-founder of Alén Space. “With SATMAR we can position Spain and the companies that participate in this project as pioneers in the field of maritime communications,” he adds.

The incorporation of satellites to VDES technology is a disruptive leap that will allow to address the digitisation of communications at sea, since its development is key to the digital transformation of the maritime sector.

In addition, “for the implementation of the project, the Port Authority of the Bay of Algeciras and the companies Oritia & Boreas, S.L. and Hercules Control, S.L. will participate as representatives of SMEs in the maritime-port sector,” says Manuel Pozo, SVP of Sales Engineering & Consulting of Egatel. In this way, by involving these agents, “it is possible to get first-hand knowledge of the real potential of the technology for the logistics-port environment and the maritime sector in general,” adds Manuel Pozo.

The SATMAR satellite will be equipped with a high-capacity software defined radio (SDR) platform that will allow the implementation of a VDE satellite transceiver (VDE-SAT) for a VHF frequency band and a high-speed link to the ground in a single module. This technology covers all the needs of the project without additional development and will minimise the volume and mass of the satellite, thereby reducing development and launch costs, which in turn will facilitate the deployment of constellations of nanosatellites to provide VDES services.

Alén Space and Egatel had previously collaborated in the development of a VDES solution for the digitisation of naval communications in the framework of the SHIPMATE (Satellite Hybrid Information Protocol for MAritime TElecommunications) project, in which the Galician Technology and Telecommunications Centre (Gradiant) also participated. “SATMAR is a project with multiple technical challenges, which we can consider as the natural continuation of the SHIPMATE project, as we will be able to test the developed technology in orbit,” explains Antonio Vázquez.

The South Korean government is exploring new ways to support its shipbuilding industry and build on the slim lead they have developed in the past few months over the competition from Chinese shipbuilders. The heads of South Korea’s three major shipbuilders, Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, and Samsung Heavy Industries, met with Lee Chang-yang, the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy on Friday to discuss ways they could work with the government to advance the industry

South Korean media reports indicate that among the topics they were discussing is the chronic labor shortage. After downsizing their operations in the mid-2010s, the shipyards are reportedly struggling to find skilled labor to expand their staff to meet the influx of orders. The government had recently announced that it would increase the limits on certain categories of foreign workers in an effort to meet some of the shortfalls in shipbuilding and other industries. Reports are saying that the shipyard executives called for further easing regulations on foreign workers as well as additional training programs, with Minister Lee promising that details would be announced soon on further government efforts to address the labor challenges.

Lee according to the Korean Joong Ang Daily urged the CEOs to make preemptive investments so Korean shipbuilders can maintain their global competitiveness. He promised that the government will focus on policies in the areas of labor expansion, development of technology, and creating a better business environment. In return, he said the shipyard executives had committed to investing $176 million this year into the development of green maritime technologies including ammonia-powered vessels as well as digitization and automation as Korea seeks to maintain its lead in high-value ships.

The meeting on the future of the shipbuilding industry came as data was released showing that the South Korean yards had during July for the third month in a row received the highest percentage of shipbuilding orders. Citing data from Clarkson Research the ministry said South Korea had won 55 percent of the total orders by tonnage (1.19 million tons) in July which included 19 of the total 70 ships ordered worldwide.

In the first seven months of 2022, the South Korean shipyards added over 11 million tons to their backlog which was made up of orders for a total of 204 ships. It was 47 percent of the orders placed in 2022 and surpassed the Chinese shipyards which received orders for just over 10 million tons or a total of 383 ships.

The South Korean shipbuilders collectively now have a backlog amounting to more than 35.8 million tons or a total of 717 ships. The ministry highlighted that the backlog has grown for 11 consecutive months up by more than a quarter versus July 2021.

Clarkson reports that orders for large LNG carriers (exceeding 140,000 cbm) were the highest in 22 years with South Korea leading the orders. The main shipbuilders received all of the orders, a total of 12, placed in July for LNG carriers, driven by Qatar’s efforts to move forward with its planned expansion. Other segments, including containerships, tankers, and bulkers, all reported a decline in orders in July.

The government’s focus on high-value ships was well justified with approximately half of all the orders placed in July falling in that segment and it continues to grow. They highlighted that the average price of an LNG carrier also reached a new record of $236 million per vessel. Further, the Koreas also called attention to the fact that eco-friendly ships accounted for 60 percent of the total orders placed.

The three major shipbuilders told the ministry that based on the strength of the orders they are ahead of target for the year. Collectively they reported winning orders valued at more than $30 billion in the first seven months of 2022. That places the industry at 87 percent of its yearly target which calls for orders of $35 billion in 2022. Beyond South Korea’s big three, the ministry also reported strong growth among the mid-sized yards. They said those yards have received nearly $2.5 billion in orders mostly for smaller containerships and tankers.

Minister Lee reportedly emphasized during the meeting the importance of the government and industry working together to support the growth of the Korean shipbuilding industry.

North Star’s new UK built hybrid powered daughter craft, the first of its type specifically designed for the offshore wind market, has been launched at a naming ceremony held at the RoyalNorfolk and Suffolk Yacht club in Lowestoft, adjacent to the firm’s regional operations hub.

The vessel was christened ‘Grace Darling’ in honour of a famous lighthouse keeper’s daughter from the North East of England who risked her life in 1838 to save the stranded survivors of a wrecked merchant ship travelling from Hull to Dundee. Her life changed dramatically after her feat of bravery made the front pages of the national press and was reportedly read by Queen Victoria. A RNLI museum to mark her life was established in Bamburgh, Northumberland, in 1938.

The VIP event was attended by a number of the UK’s leading offshore wind developers, after the daughter craft was delivered ahead of schedule to further performance and field operations readiness, prior to the firm receiving the planned early delivery of its service operations vessel (SOV) mothership to the Port of Tyne early next year. This will include a performance analysis and enhancements programme on the daughter craft, as well as crew familiarisation.

The Grace Darling is the first of four hybrid craft being built by Alicat Workboats for the leading offshore infrastructure support vessel operator. The full fleet, developed by sustainable naval architect specialist Chartwell Marine, will all carry the names of iconic women from The North East of England’s past to reflect the firm’s first offshore wind projects being supported out of the region, as well as its ongoing commitment to hiring locally and investing in the area’s supply chain companies.

Daughter craft support the safe transfer of in field wind farm technicians between the SOV, where they live while working offshore, to the wind turbines to undertake routine or remedial maintenance. They are also used for trips to and from shore with deliveries.

Matthew Gordon, North Star CEO said: “We are very pleased to have officially launched the Grace Darling and bring the world’s first offshore wind hybrid propulsion daughter craft to market. There is a long history of iconic women hailing from the region, and we wanted to enhance their legacy by naming our new green fleet in their memory as well as commemorate our local roots.

“Our unique model has been purpose designed and built under North Star’s guidance to deliver high performance and quality client service logistics after our extensive market research revealed that no existing model came close to what we want to achieve. The Grace Darling is the first of our next generation and new breed of sustainable, reliable, comfortable fleet that will deliver substantial value and efficiencies to our wind farm clients.

“We fully support the UK’s ship building industry and we are very fortunate to have a wealth of talent on our doorstep in The North East. We are 100% committed to investing in the local supply chain where possible to help drive forward our continued growth in the UK and European offshore wind markets.”

The new hybrid propulsion daughter craft deploys research and development conducted as part of the Carbon Trust’s Offshore Wind Accelerator programme with the aim of reducing carbon emissions and improving performance. The vessel has been extensively tank tested for enhanced sea state operability and safe transfer, providing improved comfort and operational safety for technicians.

North Star has the largest daughtercraft fleet in Europe, which is set to rise from 63 to 67 assets in the next 12months as all four hybrid powered craft for offshore wind are delivered. Withstrategic locations in Lowestoft, Newcastle and Aberdeen, the business employs 1,300personnel, including 100 deck and engineering cadets enrolled in its three-yeartraining programme, now in its 26th year.
