K Line, MOL and NYK Start Sharing Data with ONE via IoS-OP
Three Japanese shipping majors have begun sharing operational data acquired from the monitoring system installed on their containerships with Ocean Network Express (ONE) through the IoS-Open Platform (IoS-OP) promoted by Ship Data Center (ShipDC).
As each of the three carriers, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line), Mitsui O.S.K Lines (MOL) and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), have managed the data by different frameworks, ONE needed to carry out data conversion.
With the IoS-OP s automatic conversion function to the standard names in line with ISO19848, which is provided by ShipDC, data conversion burden is mitigated resulting in simplifying analysis and management of integrated operational data of ONE s fleet, according to the companies.
As explained, ONE aims to use this data to improve the accuracy of performance evaluations of individual vessels and machinery as well as achieve safer and more efficient vessel operations.
"This data sharing will significantly increase the volume of ship operational data distributed through IoS-OP, and further contribute to acceleration of data collection, distribution, and utilization through IoS-OP within the maritime industry," the shipping firms said in a joint statement.
ONE was established in 2017 by the integration of K Line, MOL and NYK. Initially, the holding company s combined fleet totaled 1,550,000 TEU, making it the sixth-largest in the world.

Port of Virginia: Ship Channel Deepening to Begin in January 2020
The effort to make the US Port of Virginia the deepest port on the US East Coast is set to begin in January 2020, following the finalization of a contract with an international dredging firm that will take on the project s initial phase.
On October 9, 2019, John F. Reinhart, CEO and executive director of the Virginia Port Authority, signed a contract with New Jersey-based Weeks Marine to begin the deepening of the western side of the Thimble Shoal Channel.
In late September, the port s board of commissioners approved the contract with Weeks. The contract for the first phase amounts to USD 78 million and the total cost of the project will be USD 350 million.
The work includes dredging the shipping channels to 55 feet - with deeper ocean approaches - and widening the channel to more than 1,400 feet in specific areas.
Once dredging is completed in 2024, the commercial channels serving the Norfolk Harbor will be able to simultaneously accommodate two, ultra-large container vessels (ULCVs).
"When the work is complete, Virginia will be the only East Coast port with this capability," Reinhart said.
"The vessel sizes continue to expand, so safe, two-way ULCV traffic is important to the sustainability and efficiency of this port and to the ocean carriers using the channel."
"This project, combined with the USD 750 million we are investing to increase container capacity by 1 million units per year, sets up Virginia to be the premier gateway for trade on the East Coast," he pointed out.
In 2015, the deepening effort got underway when the US Army Corps of Engineers and the port signed a feasibility cost share agreement that committed each side to sharing the cost of evaluating the benefits of dredging the Norfolk Harbor to a depth beyond 50 feet.
The Port of Virginia received the final authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers to move ahead with the Wider, Deeper, Safer project in July 2018, enabling it to be included in the federal Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) bill.

Erma First Acquires Maritime-Focused Tech Firm
Greece-based manufacturer of ballast water treatment systems Erma First has acquired a controlling interest in Metis Cyberspace Technology that was previously owned by Olympia Group.
Established in 2016, Metis is specialized in electronic engineering, IoT, cloud computing and artificial intelligence, offering a platform that enables shipping companies to acquire and analyze data to improve operational performance.
Specifically, the platform uses cloud-based virtual personal assistants that provide in-time information, diagnosis and prediction to company personnel through a conversational user interface focused on the requirements of shipping companies.
With technology playing an increasingly critical role in every aspect of the industry, both companies recognize that they need to accelerate the development of green digital solutions to ensure they remain competitive.
"We are extremely excited to be joining forces with Metis…Our vision for Metis is to allow its team to continue doing what it does so well and to strengthen the company s ability to provide solutions for smarter, safer, greener and more efficient solutions for the maritime industry," Konstantinos Stampedakis, Managing Director of Erma First, commented.
Stampedakis added that the addition of Metis is expected to further enhance Erma First s after-sales capabilities.
"Together, we will produce new products and services, extending the coverage of the ship s operation towards a more sustainable future," Eleni Polychronopoulou, Executive Vice President of Environmental Protection Engineering SA, noted.
"Shipping is on the brink of a new era and, as exciting possibilities arise, we now have a stronger base to explore them together," Mike Konstantinidis, CEO of Metis, pointed out.

Spotted: Windstar Cruises Star Breeze Cut in Half for Stretch Treatment
Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri has cut Windstar Cruises Star Breeze in half as part of a process that will see the cruise ship lengthened by a total of 25.6 meters.
Fincantieri is expected to complete work on the transformation by early 2020, with Star Breeze scheduled to sail from Barcelona to Lisbon on February 20, 2020, and celebrate re-inaugural activities in North America at the Port of Miami on March 19, 2020.
In addition to being "stretched," as it is referred to in the cruise industry, Star Breeze (and sister ships Star Legend and Star Pride) will also receive new engines to ensure a cleaner, more environmentally-friendly operation.
"The USD 250 Million Star Plus Initiative is the most complex and comprehensive small ship lengthening, engine replacement, and renovation project undertaken in cruising, and we are very proud to be working with Fincantieri, the leader in major cruise ship renovations," John Delaney, Windstar Cruises President, commented.
This is the first of three new mid-ship sections to be constructed and inserted as part of Windstar s Star Plus Initiative, which is committed to the expansion and transformation of the cruise line s three Star-class vessels.
The mid-section will also welcome most of the 50 new suites. This means that Star Breeze will now be able to accommodate 312 passengers, having previously been capable of accommodating 212 guests.
All three Star-class ships are expected to be lengthened at Fincantieri’s Shipyard in Palermo, Sicily, by late 2020.

Global Container Terminals Becomes Member of TradeLens
Canada-based terminal operator Global Container Terminals (GCT) has joined the TradeLens supply chain platform, underpinned by blockchain technology.
TradeLens is a solution jointly developed by Maersk and IBM to apply blockchain to the global supply chain. It provides end-to-end supply chain information, facilitating data sharing, collaboration and improved trade flows.
By joining TradeLens, GCT intends to connect with supply chain partners including ocean carriers, beneficial cargo owners, and railways.
"As competition increases from other ports and customer demands intensify, we need to activate every solution to increase cargo velocity through our terminals and improve performance," Doron Grosman, President & CEO of GCT, explained.
"We are thrilled to have GCT join TradeLens and connect to a flexible business platform designed to spur innovation. Integrating data with ports, terminals, logistics providers, shippers, and carriers is essential for the vision of TradeLens to realize new ways of working within a collaborative industry ecosystem," Mike White, CEO of Maersk GTD and Head of TradeLens, commented.
TradeLens is said to be rapidly expanding with five of the world’s top six ocean carriers and ten of GCT s ocean carrier customers committed to the platform.
"We are pleased to see more leading organizations from across the shipping industry sign on to the platform. As TradeLens evolves, it is critical more supply chain partners participate to facilitate an open and transparent approach to information sharing. This enhanced level of visibility and efficiency will ultimately benefit the entire industry and our customers." Eyal Ben-Amram, CIO of ZIM, noted.
GCT operates four big ship ready terminals on the west and east coast of North America. Through GCT USA on the East Coast, the company operates two facilities - GCT New York on Staten Island, NY and GCT Bayonne in Bayonne, NJ. On the West Coast, GCT Canada operates two gateway terminals - GCT Vanterm and GCT Deltaport in Vancouver and Delta, BC.
The program will be rolled out in phases at all four of GCT s terminals adding visibility to the east and west coasts of North America.

Tanker Age Discrimination Detrimental for Environmental Goals, Stena Bulk Argues
In addition to presenting a safety threat, the age discrimination of tankers over 15 and 20 years of age could also prevent the embrace of technologies aimed at reversing the climate change crisis, chief executives of tanker shipping companies Stena Bulk and Concordia Maritime have argued.
They said that environmental efforts in the industry are focusing on complying with the IMO2020 sulphur regulation, with many companies making major investments, like exhaust gas cleaning systems, in this area.

India: Centre may consider fixing minimum distance between two ports
The Government is toying with the idea of stipulating a minimum distance between two ports as part of its efforts to ensure that ports in the country remain viable financially. This is likely to get reflected in a new Bill that may be introduced in the ensuing Winter or next Budget session of Parliament.
"How far should ports be located from each other? That s one of the decisions that the Centre needs to take, as per the proposed Indian Ports Act (IPA) that the Government wants to bring in," according to sources.
