One Dead, Several Injured after Explosion at Chittagong Shipbreaking Yard
One worker died and several others have been injured in an explosion at a Chittagong shipbreaking yard in Bangladesh.
The incident occurred in the morning hours of May 15, 2019, while the workers were dismantling a yet-unidentified ship in Sitakunda Upazila, United News of Bangladesh (UNB) reported.
"Six workers sustained burn injuries when the fire broke out at the pump room of a scrap ship around 8:30am," Zahirul Islam from Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) police camp was cited by UNB as saying.
He added that the six injured men were brought to the hospital where one of them was declared dead.
The deceased man reportedly worked for Premier Trade Corporation and Mahinur Ship Recycling Yard.
In addition to the six abovementioned men, more workers are believed to be injured or missing.
"We suspect that there are more injured workers and that at least one worker is still missing," a spokesperson of NGO Shipbreaking Platform told The incident follows the one in February this year which claimed the lives of two workers in Chittagong. The two men were working at Shagorika Ship Breaking Yard when a fire broke out on a tanker that was being dismantled.
Despite dire conditions at a number of beaching yards in South Asia, shipowners continue to sell their vessels there in order to get higher prices for their vessels.
In 2018, a total of 744 large ocean-going commercial vessels were sold to the scrap yards. Out of these, 518 were broken down on South Asia beaches, accounting for a record-breaking 90.4% of the gross tonnage dismantled globally, according to data provided by NGO Shipbreaking Platform.

Malta Becomes Newest Hong Kong Convention Member
The International Maritime Organization s treaty for safe and environmentally-sound ship recycling welcomed its twelfth member as Malta acceded to the Hong Kong Convention.
Victor Camilleri, Permanent Representative of Malta to IMO, met IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim at IMO Headquarters, London on May 14 to deposit the instrument of accession.
The meeting took place under the auspices of the IMO s summit on shipping s climate impact (MEPC 74), which is taking place in London between May 13 and 17.
The Hong Kong Convention covers the design, construction, operation and maintenance of ships, and preparation for ship recycling in order to facilitate safe and environmentally sound recycling, without compromising the safety and operational efficiency of ships.
Under the treaty, ships to be sent for recycling are required to carry an inventory of hazardous materials, specific to each ship. Ship recycling yards are required to provide a ship recycling plan, specifying the manner in which each ship will be recycled, depending on its particulars and its inventory.
According to IMO, the twelve contracting states party to the convention now represent more than 28.8 percent of world merchant shipping tonnage. Entry into force requires 15 states, 40 percent of the world s merchant fleet and their ship recycling volume constituting not less than 3% of the gross tonnage of these contracting states merchant fleet.
Speaking at the International seminar on ship recycling: Towards the early entry into force of the Hong Kong Convention held in London on May 10, Kitack Lim called for wider adoption of the convention in order to bring it into force as soon as possible.

10,010 TEU Neopanamax Sets Ecuador Record after Port of Guayaquil Upgrades
The 10,010 TEU Neopanamax CMA CGM Cochin recently became the largest ship to dock in Ecuador as it arrived at the Port of Guayaquil.
The arrival of CMA CGM Cochin to the port was enabled by the dredging of the 95-kilometer main access channel leading to the country s primary seaport.
The ship that operates on the Ecuador-Asia route was serviced by Contecon Guayaquil, the Ecuadorian subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI).
Earlier in March, Contecon Guayaquil also received the 10,500 TEU capacity boxship CAP San Sounio, described as a stimulus for maritime activity and trade.
"We congratulate and support the City of Guayaquil in its initiative to improve maritime access to the port. The dredging of the access channel paved the way for the arrival of these ships, which is something we look forward to as a huge boost to the local and national economy," Jose Antonio Contreras, CGSA CEO, said.
"This also allows us to maximize our operations. We ve made the necessary investments in infrastructure, equipment, and technology to ensure the efficient handling of these Neopanamax vessels."
In October 2018, the City of Guayaquil granted Luxembourg-based Jan De Nul Group a 25-year concession for the dredging and maintenance of the port s access channel. The Ecuadorian government is also working on the Southern Viaduct Project, which will connect the port to El Oro province and the southern part of the country via a new road and two bridges.

Cameron LNG Export Terminal Begins Production
Cameron LNG has begun producing liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the first liquefaction train of the Cameron LNG export project in Hackberry, Louisiana, Sempra Energy said.
"Cameron LNG expects to load cargoes in the coming weeks - another major step forward to bringing cleaner, affordable energy to global markets," Lisa Glatch, chief operating officer of Sempra LNG and board chair for Cameron LNG, commented.
Cameron LNG completed all major construction activities for Train 1 of the liquefaction-export project and began the commissioning and start-up process in November 2018. Last month, the facility began receiving gas flow for testing as it reached the final stage of the commissioning process.
Phase 1 of the Cameron LNG export project includes the first three liquefaction trains that will enable the export of approximately 12 million tonnes per annum of LNG, or approximately 1.7 billion cubic feet per day.
Cameron LNG is jointly owned by affiliates of Sempra LNG, Total, Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and Japan LNG Investment, LLC, a company jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK). Sempra Energy indirectly owns 50.2% of Cameron LNG.
The partners are currently discussing a potential expansion of the base project, already authorized by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), that would add two liquefaction trains of 4.5 Mtpa capacity each and up to two LNG storage tanks.

Hurtigruten Unveils Electric Catamarans for Polar Areas
Expedition cruise operator Hurtigruten has partnered with the Norwegian start-up company, Brim Explorer, to introduce battery-powered catamarans, custom built for polar water exploration.
Set to debut in spring 2020, the 78-foot vessels will operate sustainable and silent ocean excursions from the port of Longyearbyen on the Arctic island of Svalbard. These catamarans will operate under the Hurtigruten Svalbard brand.
The units will feature large battery packs and will be able to recharge at virtually any port and operate on batteries for up to 10 hours with a cruising speed of 10 knots, according to the company.
"A green footprint is the future of the travel industry, in the polar regions and elsewhere. With a great idea and dedicated partners like Hurtigruten we have set out to build a vessel unlike any the world has seen," Agnes Arnadottir, Brim Explorer co-founder and CEO, said.
Brim Explorer s first watercraft, similar to its sister that will operate exclusively under Hurtigruten Svalbard, is currently under construction in Norway and is scheduled to debut in August 2019.
"By combining green technology, clean Nordic design, and a focus on sustainable travel, we have created the first sightseeing vessel in the world that is able to operate a full day on electric power. We look forward to using our knowledge to help move the travel industry in a greener direction, together with Hurtigruten," Arnadottir added.
In another industry milestone, Hurtigruten is currently in the process of completely rebuilding existing ships to run on a combination of large battery packs, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and biogas (LBG).

Solomon Trader Refloated, Destined for Scrapyard
The ill-fated bulker Solomon Trader has been successfully refloated in the Solomon Islands, Korea Protection and Indemnity Club (KP&I) said.
The operation was completed on May 11, 2019, and the 73,592 dwt bulker is currently undergoing assessments.
As informed, Solomon Trader remains anchored in deeper waters away from the reef where it grounded, enabling divers to assess hull damage.
The Panamax bulk carrier is in a stable condition, the vessel s protection indemnity insurer added.
Once the salvage inspections, seaworthiness repairs and the cargo discharge are completed, the 1994-built bulker is planned to be towed for scrapping.
KP&I and the vessel owner, King Trader, are to continue cooperation with the Solomon Islands government as shore cleaning progresses.
Chartered by Bintan Mining and loaded with nearly 11,000 tons of bauxite, Solomon Trader initially grounded on a reef off Rennell Island in the Solomon Islands, near a UNESCO World Heritage site, during an unexpected gale event on February 5.
The attempts to remove the vessel were hampered by the arrival of Cyclone Oma on February 10, which pushed the stricken vessel harder into the reef, resulting in engine room damage and the subsequent oil spill.
Onboard power was lost and the vessel was ransacked by locals, with key equipment stolen and damaged. This impacted efforts to commence an emergency response, as explained by KP&I.
The owner despatched a salvage expert to the location on February 10 to monitor the vessel’s condition. International salvage experts Resolve Marine Group were also appointed to oversee the Solomon Trader incident response.
Many response experts and specialized equipment from across the globe subsequently arrived.
