Boskalis Wins Maintenance Gig for Europe s Top Port
Dutch dredging specialist Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. (Boskalis) has secured a multi-year contract for the maintenance dredging in the port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Under the terms of the contract, the maintenance dredging will take place in the Maasmond/Maasgeul in the access channel and inner port basins of the port.
The initial contract duration is three years commencing in March 2020, with the use of a mid-sized trailing suction hopper dredger.
Boskalis said that the deal may be extended up to five more years through to 2028, subject to innovative and approved sustainability initiatives.
Boskalis said that the award criteria included various sustainability metrics, including CO2 reducing measures. However, the company pointed out that the project award was not affected by recently introduced national restrictions related to nitrogen emission.
Specifically, following a court ruling determining that nitrogen emissions from the country s infrastructural projects were in breach of European laws, in November the Dutch government introduced measures to reduce nitrogen-based pollution and deal with the impact of PFAS contamination in soil and sludge.

US Court Convicts Evridiki Navigation, Liquimar Tankers for Pollution
A U.S. based court has convicted Greek tanker owner Evridiki Navigation, operator Liquimar Tankers Management Services Inc and chief engineer Nikolaos Vastardis for obstruction of justice in relation to an attempt of hiding deliberate discharge of oil-contaminated bilge waste overboard from the Liberian-flagged tanker (M/T) Evridiki.
Namely, the trio was convicted by a federal jury in Wilmington, Delaware, of violating the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships, falsifying ship s documents, obstructing a U.S. Coast Guard inspection, and making false statements to U.S. Coast Guard inspectors, the US Department of Justice (US DOJ) said.
Each defendant was convicted of all four felony counts. Their respective sentences are yet to be announced.
"This case demonstrates that those who pollute our oceans and deliberately mislead Coast Guard officials will be brought to justice," said Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Bossert of the Justice Department s Environment and Natural Resources Division.
As disclosed by the DoJ, the Liberian-flagged oil tanker owned by Evridiki Navigation and operated by Liqumar Tankers Management Services, arrived in the Big Stone Anchorage, within Delaware Bay, for the purpose of delivering a cargo of crude oil on March 10, 2019.
The following day, the ship underwent a U.S. Coast Guard inspection to determine, among other things, the vessel s compliance with international environmental pollution prevention requirements.
The jury found that during the inspection, Evridiki, Liquimar, and Vastardis tried to deceive Coast Guard inspectors regarding the use of the ship’s oily water separator (OWS), a required pollution prevention device.
Under the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), only bilge waste containing less than 15 parts per million (ppm) oil can be discharged overboard and must be first run through an OWS and oil content meter (OCM) to ensure that no waste containing more than 15 ppm oil is discharged.
During the Coast Guard inspection, Vastardis operated the equipment with unmonitored valves that trapped fresh water inside the OCM’s sample line so that its oil sensor registered zero ppm instead of what was really being discharged overboard. However, historic OCM data recovered during the inspection proved that the OCM was being tricked and bypassed. When the Coast Guard opened the Evridiki s OWS, they found it was fouled with copious amounts of oil and soot.

19 Kidnapped Crew Members of Nave Constellation Freed
The 19 crew members of crude oil tanker Nave Constellation, who were kidnapped on December 3 off Nigeria, have been released, the owners and managers of the ship informed.
The abducted crew members included 18 Indian nationals and one Turkish national.
"All of those taken were released and are now safe and undergoing medical tests and debriefing, following which they will return to their loved ones at home. All those taken are in good spirits and well, given the circumstances of their time in captivity," a joint statement from Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation and Anglo-Eastern Tanker Management (Hong Kong) reads.
"Owners and managers wish to thank all the crew members and their families for their courage and fortitude during this difficult and worrying period; also to thank the government agencies, authorities, maritime institutions and specialists who have all done so much in securing the release of our much-valued seafarers."
The two companies added that they will not release any operational details of the kidnap or release in order not to jeopardize the safety of seafarers still being held elsewhere or to encourage future criminal events and seizures.
To remind, the Hong Kong-flagged crude oil tanker had departed Bonny Offshore Terminal in fully laden condition when she was boarded by armed men late on the night of December 3rd.
The criminal gang kidnapped 19 of those on board taking them as hostage; while 7 seafarers remained on board and were instructed to take the tanker to a safe position to await the arrival of a security vessel and other support craft. There was no pollution or damage to the vessel.
The incident was shortly followed by the kidnapping of an even larger group of seafarers. On December 15, twenty crew members were kidnapped from a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker off Benin, marking "the largest kidnapping event in West Africa within 2019".
The 19,100 dwt MT Duke was attacked and boarded by six pirates while sailing from Luanda, Angola, to Lome, Togo, with a cargo of fuel oil.
Maritime bodies have been warning about the worrying rise in kidnappings and piracy attacks in West Africa, in particular, the Gulf of Guinea, calling for action to curb the trend and bolster security beyond the Nigerian EEZ.
