121 Piracy Incidents Reported So Far in 2017
A total of 121 incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships were reported in the first nine months of 2017, according to the International Chamber of Commerce's (ICC) International Maritime Bureau's (IMB) latest quarterly report on maritime piracy.

In total, 92 vessels were boarded, 13 were fired upon, there were 11 attempted attacks and five vessels were hijacked in the first nine months of 2017.

The flagship global report notes that, while piracy rates were down compared to the same period in 2016, there is continuing concern over attacks in the Gulf of Guinea and in South East Asia. The increase in attacks off the coast of Venezuela and other security incidents against vessels off Libya - including an attempted boarding in the last quarter- highlights the need for vigilance in other areas.

While only three low-level incidents took place in Venezuela during the same period in 2016, the number this year racked up to 11. All vessels were successfully boarded by robbers armed with guns or knives and mostly took place at anchorage. Four crewmembers were taken hostage during these incidents, with two assaulted and one injured.

No incidents were reported off the coast of Somalia in this quarter, though the successful attacks from earlier in the year suggest that pirates in the area retain the capacity to target merchant shipping at distances from the coastline, the report said.

Nigeria remains risky, as there were 20 reports received against all vessel types for Nigeria, 16 of which occurred off the coast of Brass, Bonny and Bayelsa. Guns were reportedly used in 18 of the incidents and vessels were underway in 17 of 20 reports. 39 of the 49 crewmembers kidnapped globally occurred off Nigerian waters in seven separate incidents. Other crew kidnappings in 2017 have been reported 60 nautical miles off the coast of Nigeria.

''In general, all waters in and off Nigeria remain risky, despite intervention in some cases by the Nigerian Navy. We advise vessels to be vigilant,'' said Pottengal Mukundan, Director of IMB.

''The number of attacks in the Gulf of Guinea could be even higher than our figures as many incidents continue to be unreported.''

World's Largest Containership Docks in Wilhelmshaven
One of the world's largest containerships docked at the EUROGATE Container Terminal in Wilhelmshaven, Germany on Monday during its maiden voyage from China to Northern Europe.

The 21,413 TEU OOCL Germany was constructed at the Samsung Heavy Industries in Geoje, South Korea and delivered to OOCL in August. It is the second of six 21 thousand TEU class vessels on order at the shipyard. The first in the series, OOCL Hong Kong, delivered in May, was the first containership ever to break the 21,000 TEU mark.

EUROGATE employees welcomed the arrival of the OOCL Germany by arranging containers on the container stowage area to form the number ''21,413''.

''Although we are in the meantime witnessing the world's largest container vessels at Wilhelmshaven on a weekly basis, each occasion is still something very special,'' says Mikkel Andersen, Managing Director of EUROGATE Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven.

The OOCL Hong Kong called at the terminal on July 2.

The OOCL Germany serves the Asia-Europe trade on operates on the Ocean Alliance's Asia-North Europe Loop 1 (LL1) service. Her port rotation is: Shanghai / Ningbo / Xiamen / Yantian / Singapore / via Suez Canal / Felixstowe / Rotterdam / Gdansk / Wilhelmshaven / Felixstowe / via Suez Canal / Singapore / Yantian / Shanghai in a 77-day round trip.

Two-Year Contract for Ultra-Deepwater Drillship 'Deepwater Invictus'
Transocean Ltd. (NYSE:RIG) announced Tuesday that its ultra-deepwater drillship Deepwater Invictus has been awarded a two-year contract with options by a subsidiary of BHP Billiton.

Transocean said the firm contract is valued at approximately $106 million and will commence in the second quarter of 2018. It includes three one-year priced options.

The Deepwater Invictus was delivered in 2014 and is rated to a water depth of 12,000 feet. It has spent nearly its entire career contracted to BHP.

''We are extremely pleased to continue working with BHP,'' said President and Chief Executive Officer Jeremy Thigpen. ''Since we welcomed the Invictus into our fleet in 2014, the combination of BHP, Transocean and the Invictus has delivered industry-leading performance; and, we look forward to extending our productive relationship through this multi-year contract.''

A spokesman for BHP said the awarding of the contract supports its exploration focus on the three Tier 1 deep-water opportunities in the US Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

According to Transocean's latest fleet status report, Deepwater Invictus is currently contracted to BHP Billiton for operations in the Gulf of Mexico at a day rate of $592,000. The current contract spans from January 2017 through November 2017.
