Call for Seafarer Nation
LISW's 'Big Maritime Welfare Debate' sees call for IMO seafarers committee and better access to data on rates of illness, suicide and death onboard. Clay Maitland, keynote speaker at London International Shipping Week’s inaugural 'Big Maritime Welfare Debate' called for a 'Seafarers Standing Committee' at the International Maritime Organization, as well as better access to data by flag states on rates of illness, suicide and deaths on board. He also called for the UK government in particular to take a lead role in determining how best to protect seafarers’ rights. 'When it comes to seafarers' rights, flag states are in a darkened room' said Maitland.

New Report Looks to Shed Light on Workboat Safety Culture
A new independent report due for publication later this month aims to challenge the realities of the safety of workboat and offshore support vessel operations, a sector of the international maritime industry that appears to be unique.

The report, titled The Impact of Crew Engagement and Organizational Culture in the Workboats and OSV Sectors, looks to test regulator assumptions on safety drawn from the wider maritime industry against realities that are specific to the workboat sector.

Despite the inherently risky nature of their work, many workboats are not bound by SOLAS or the International Safety Management (ISM) Code.

A preview of the report shows some startling findings, suggesting that 50% of crews working on OSVs say that safety standards have been compromised because it is difficult to say 'no' to clients or senior management. In addition, nearly 80% appear to accept that commercial pressures could influence safe working practices. The report also draws on Port State Control (PSC) data to note that 27% of OSV deficiencies relate to certification and documentation shortcomings.

"In an ideal world, regulators could take on a greater role in sharing best practices across the industries they regulate, because they see the best and the worst," says Ron deBruyn, CEO and founder of the ship management software firm Helm Operations, which commissioned the report. "If their job is to ensure safer operations of the vessels they regulate, then why can’t they share what some companies are doing well?"

Detention rates amongst commercial vessels from the Paris MOU and Tokyo MOU actually show OSVs and tugs performing well when compared to cargo ships, says deBruyne. "So they're already doing a very good job ensuring that they're operating safely - relative to the industry."

But safety "doesn't actually have a finishing line", he adds. To operate safely should not be thought of in terms of a dollar figure, because an incident can be very costly for an organization based on injuries and damage of reputation.

"The report seems to show that safety statistics are so highly valued by operators now that there may be pressure not to report an incident. If incidents aren't being reported then the safety statistics cannot be realistic, and it is possible that safety is not as good in reality as the statistics would suggest," deBruyne says.

While most companies do a good job of promoting safety in their organizations, deBruyne believes many crew members feel that they cannot be forthcoming in identifying an issue for fear of reprisals, which generally take the form of loss of work for them personally. "Lack of empowerment is still something our industry needs to come to grips with," he says.

This view is supported by the report's finding that, even though 84% of respondents felt backed up by management when reporting a safety issue, almost half acknowledged that safety standards have been compromised due to the difficulty to say 'no' to clients or senior management.

"There's disconnect there," deBruyne says. "The same disconnect appears in the fact that nearly 100% of respondents felt they had undergone adequate training to do their job safely, but 34% said their company needed to offer additional training specific to operational duties and certain technical items of equipment."

The Impact of Crew Engagement and Organizational Culture on Maritime Safety in the Workboats and OSV Sectors will be available on September 24th to coincide with World Maritime Day.

Speaking of Amazing Ship Handling, Watch This Ferry Berthing in Nice, France
If you liked our earlier video showing a ferry docking stern to at Port Chios in the Greek Islands, you're sure to like this time-lapse video showing a C0rsica ferry berthing at the port of Nice, located in the south of France. According to the uploader, the video was filmed September 15th.

You can see the ship uses its propellers and bow thrusters to back into the harbor and berth alongside the wharf.

Port of Felixstowe goes green
The Port of Felixstowe is creating an environmental corridor as part of the Go Green campaign launched by Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) and a number of other global port operators.

The initiative at Felixstowe will include the refurbishment of part of a system of dykes within the port. The work will include the improvement of habitats for wildlife as well as enhancing green areas within a busy industrial complex by planting a mixture of trees, grasses and wild flowers.

Clemence Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of the Port of Felixstowe and Managing Director of HPH Europe division, said:

"The Port of Felixstowe has a long history of environmental achievements dating back to the creation of the Trimley Marsh Nature Reserve in the 1980s. Our participation in the Go Green initiative is the latest example of a commitment to the environment which, in the last few years, has seen the installation of over 2,000 solar panels at the port and investments in cleaner, more energy efficient plant. This has resulted in a 25% reduction in CO2 emissions over the period."

Dr Therese Coffey MP, the Member of Parliament for Felixstowe and Deputy Leader of the House of Commons, said:

"I am pleased that Hutchison Ports and the Port of Felixstowe are taking part in this global environmental initiative. Whilst the ports industry is international in nature, all ports are rooted in the communities they serve. Felixstowe has shown a commitment to improving the environment and I hope it will continue to work with other local groups in the future."

Commenting on the global Go Green initiative, Eric Ip, Hutchison Port Holdings Limited Group Managing Director, said:

"Sustaining the environment we live in is one of the major concerns of the modern world and something no corporation can ignore. Environmental concerns pervade the entire HPH organisation, from the paper in our printers to the cranes in our yards. By putting our efforts together with other major port and maritime industry players for this worthy cause, we hope to lead by example and, in the process, do our bit to create a cleaner, greener world for everyone."

The Go Green project has been launched by HPH in conjunction with DP World, APM Terminals, PSA International and Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG) – five of the world's largest port operators. They have been joined by the Port of Rotterdam Authority in the first ever joint industry initiative of this magnitude to promote environmental awareness and make a sustainable difference in the communities in which they operate.
