The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is launching a focused container ship inspection campaign targeting cargo securing arrangements on container ships visiting Australian ports. This inspection campaign is being initiated in response to several serious incidents involving shipping containers lost overboard recently.

Incidents like the losses of 81 containers off Newcastle by the YM Efficiency in 2018, 50 containers off Wollongong by the APL England in May and three containers from the Navios Unite off Cape Leeuwin in June have caused significant environmental damage to Australia’s iconic marine and coastal environment have made this container ships inspection campaign necessary. These events affect the livelihoods and safety of commercial fishers and, more broadly, communities across Australia

Incident investigations by AMSA have discovered that the improper stacking and securing of cargo and poor maintenance of securing equipment are likely to have been contributing factors to these incidents.

AMSA Acting General Manager of Operations Michael Drake says that vessels visiting Australia must ensure they fully comply with the international standards relating to cargo securing laid out in Chapter VI of the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention.

“We have seen the serious consequence of improper cargo securing arrangements in the form of tonnes plastics and other debris washing up on our beautiful beaches and floating in our oceans,” said Mr Drake.

“Rusted cargo securing points, improper lashings and exceeding stack weight limits have all contributed to these incidents and ship operators should be on notice that non-compliance will not be tolerated in Australia.”

The focused container ship inspection campaign will run from the beginning of August until the end of October and will involve both extended port State control (PSC) inspections and stand-alone inspections on vessels which are not currently eligible for PSC inspection. If a cargo ship visits Australia over this period, the Master should expect that AMSA will visit the ship as part of this focused campaign.

Where vessels are found to be non-compliant AMSA will take steps to bring the ship into compliance before it is able to continue operating.

AMSA encourages ship owners and masters to familiarise themselves with the approved cargo securing manual for their vessel and Marine order 42 which gives effect to Chapter VI of SOLAS in Australia.

This focused container ship inspection campaign is aimed at education, improving standards, and reducing the number of incidents that result in cargo being lost at sea.

Singapore has seen three cases within one week, where crew members scheduled to sign-on to ocean-going cargo ships were found to be COVID-19 positive upon arrival. This has prevented the shipping companies concerned from conducting successful crew changes.

MPA said it is now working with the industry taskforce to provide more detailed guidelines on the ‘safe-corridor’ procedures to safeguard the crew change process including the need to self-isolate while serving the 14-day Stay-Home Notice (SHN), to ensure accurate COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test, and direct transfers from airport to ship for the crew while in Singapore to minimise contact.

“Given the increasing number of crew change applications, MPA will also need to prioritise new crew change applications. These will include crew with expiry of contracts which flag states are not extending further, Singapore-registered ships, and crew sign-offs,” MPA said.

“MPA would like to urge the industry – shipowners, managers and agents – to play its part to carry out safe crew changes. As there have been some instances of procedural breaches leading up to performing crew changes in Singapore, MPA has recently reminded shipowners, managers and agents to adhere strictly to the ‘safe-corridor’ procedures including ensuring accurate COVID-19 tests and compliance to self-isolation while serving SHN,” the port authority stated.

In the event that a crew member is found positive with the virus whilst in Singapore, crew changes will be suspended for a “stipulated period” to allow the company sufficient time to review its internal processes to ensure strict adherence to the ‘safe-corridor’ crew change procedures, MPA said.

In July, Singapore has been facilitating an average of about 300 cases of crew change per day through the ‘safe corridor’ procedures as detailed in the Singapore Crew Change Guidebook. This Guidebook was developed by an industry taskforce led by the Singapore Shipping Association (SSA), in partnership with the Singapore Maritime Officers’ Union and supported by MPA.

Recreational vessels are being intercepted on Queensland’s maritime borders as authorities move to prevent people who have been in COVID-19 hotspots from entering the state’s waterways.

Maritime Safety Queensland general manager Angus Mitchell said more people were heading north for the warmer weather — and the lower number of coronavirus cases.

“We all saw the shots of the grey nomads and the lines of traffic wanting to get into the state,” Mr Mitchell told ABC Radio Brisbane.

“Equally the airports are busy [and] that’s the same on our waterways as well.

“There are a lot of vessels that normally transit up the coast this time of year and up into … south-east Queensland, or further up to the Whitsundays, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing at the moment.”

He said the same rules apply for anyone trying to enter Queensland, regardless of how the come.

“The restrictions in place are exactly the same on the waterways as they are when you arrive by plane or come across the border,” he said.

‘No option for quarantine’

People must declare that they have not been in a COVID-19 hotspot in Sydney or Victoria in the past 14 days when they arrive.

“It is certainly more complex, from a maritime perspective, in managing the border and managing entry,” Mr Mitchell said.

Maritime Safety Queensland works closely with its interstate counterparts and relies on technology to monitor vessels coming up the coast.

“Either we’re on the water and we intercept them as they come up, or we find out that they are planning to come in,” Mr Mitchell said.

“We make sure ourselves, or our colleagues from the Water Police, are going there and checking their passes.

He said in the last couple of weeks well over a hundred recreational vessels had travelled up the coast.

“The situation is probably a little more black and white here,” Mr Mitchell said.

“If you have been in a COVID hotspot there is no option for you to quarantine in Queensland, so you will be turned around.”

Tourism towns suffering

Whitsunday Sailing Club sailing manager Ross Chisholm said the majority of people sailing up the coast at this time of year, usually, were from Victoria, and that the Airlie Beach community was feeling their absence.

“We’ve got less than half the boats that I’d expect to see on Pioneer Bay at this time of year compared with the last couple of years,” Mr Chisholm said.

“It’s affecting the whole community up here.

He said numbers for the upcoming Airlie Beach race week have dropped substantially, with many NSW and Victorian competitors barred from coming.

While he was disappointed that the rotary event would not be the same this year, he said he was happy with how authorities were managing the outbreak.

“We’ve had very little exposure to COVID up in this area,” Mr Chisholm said.

Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) has improved maritime safety communications for the last 30 years. With the introduction of new technology, it is being updated with better coverage, capabilities and capacity.

Experts from IMO and satellite communications group Iridium provided guidance to vessel operators on the future direction of emergency and distress messaging and communications at Riviera’s ‘What every operator needs to know about the future of safety communications’ webinar, the second of the Maritime Communications Webinar Week. This webinar covered the new safety services for shipping and the benefits to seafarers from low Earth orbit (LEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO) and geostationary orbiting satellites.

IMO technical officer Aidan Jennings and Iridium director for maritime safety and security services Kyle Hurst provided information on the upcoming options available to operators, bringing insight to flag state perspectives, GMDSS hardware and future developments for maritime safety communications.

Mr Jennings said GMDSS had served the maritime community well since its implementation in the late 1980s but needed modernising as advanced technology was introduced. “Modernising GMDSS is key worldwide for exchanging information in distress situations,” said Mr Jennings.

IMO’s sub-committee for Navigation, Communications, Search and Rescue (NCSR) has been working on modernising GMDSS and reports its results to the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) for approvals.

Mr Jennings said there had already been good progress, such as recognising Iridium as a second satellite constellation to provide GMDSS services, Inmarsat being the sole provider to date. “The goal is to finalise GMDSS modernisation in 2021 and submit it to MSC, so rule amendments can be adopted for entry into force in 2024,” said Mr Jennings.

Mr Hurst said Iridium had progressed in introducing GMDSS services through its LEO satellite constellation and new marine communications radios. “We have done a lot of work for IMO recognition and to get approval for our system,” he said. “We are looking to launch this technology, which will have a positive effect on maritime safety.”

Iridium has included distress alert, confirmation and distress voice services, and maritime safety information within its GMDSS. It has also co-operated with rescue co-ordination centres to develop these into more effective services.

The first Iridium GMDSS ship terminal, LT-3100S, is currently being tested on vessels. “We are preparing to launch our GMDSS service in Q3 2020,” said Mr Hurst. “And we expect more [terminal] systems will be coming.”

Vassilios Demetriades has been appointed as Cyprus’ new Shipping Deputy Minister, the country’s president Nicos Anastasiades announced as part of a cabinet reshuffle. The seasoned maritime policy expert, known for his extensive work within the shipping industry and contributions to the European Union (EU), joins the Cyprus Shipping Deputy Ministry effective July 10.

Since the ministry’s inception in March 2018, the Cyprus flag has grown to become the 11th largest merchant fleet worldwide and the third largest fleet in the European Union. Cyprus now flags more than 1,100 oceangoing vessels with a total gross tonnage exceeding 24 million. Shipping revenues represent 7% of Cyprus’ GDP and the sector employs approximately 3% of the country’s gainfully employed population.

Demetriades emphasized his commitment to building on these strong foundations: “Our ultimate goal is to continue growing Cyprus shipping and further develop our maritime cluster and flag. This will be achieved through the promotion of the Cyprus flag, continuous updating, simplification and modernization of the relevant legislative framework to address the current and future challenges, quality improvements to the services we provide, and strengthening the collaboration with our stakeholders across the public and private sectors.

“The shipping industry faces many challenges on a European and global level. Effective cooperation and collaboration between regulators and the industry lies at the heart of ensuring we are building a better, more sustainable future for shipping. I hope that my experience from previous roles in working with the EU towards enhancing the competitiveness of the sector and in promoting the benefits of a digital and environmentally sustainable future will support Cyprus’ continuing role in shaping progress.”

For the past five years, Demetriades worked as a policy officer in the Directorate General of Mobility and Transport of the European Commission, coordinating the EU maritime transport strategy and its revision as well as the EU’s external maritime transport relations. Prior to this, he was Head of the EU Affairs Unit at Cyprus’ Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works, which was in charge of shipping and integrated maritime policy at the time, and also served in various other positions for the Cyprus Public Administration.

Incident investigations by AMSA have discovered that the improper stacking and securing of cargo and poor maintenance of securing equipment are likely to have been contributing factors to these incidents.

AMSA Acting General Manager of Operations Michael Drake says that vessels visiting Australia must ensure they fully comply with the international standards relating to cargo securing laid out in Chapter VI of the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention.

“We have seen the serious consequence of improper cargo securing arrangements in the form of tonnes plastics and other debris washing up on our beautiful beaches and floating in our oceans,” said Mr Drake.

“Rusted cargo securing points, improper lashings and exceeding stack weight limits have all contributed to these incidents and ship operators should be on notice that non-compliance will not be tolerated in Australia.”

The focused inspection campaign will run from the beginning of August until the end of October and will involve both extended port State control (PSC) inspections and stand-alone inspections on vessels which are not currently eligible for PSC inspection. If a cargo ship visits Australia over this period, the Master should expect that AMSA will visit the ship as part of this focussed campaign.

Where vessels are found to be non-compliant AMSA will take steps to bring the ship into compliance before it is able to continue operating.

AMSA encourages ship owners and masters to familiarise themselves with the approved cargo securing manual for their vessel and Marine order 42 which gives effect to Chapter VI of SOLAS in Australia.

This focussed inspection campaign is aimed at education, improving standards, and reducing the number of incidents that result in cargo being lost at sea.
