Indian Government announces Routeing system to avoid collisions in Arabian Sea.
Meeting a long-pending demand, the Ministry of Shipping on Tuesday announced separate operation routes for merchant and fishing vessels in South West Indian waters to minimise accidents and enhance the marine environment.
The Arabian Sea around the south-west coast of India is a busy sea route, with a substantial number of merchant ships passing through the area, along with a large number of fishing vessels operating in the area. It sometimes causes accidents between them, resulting in damage of property and environmental pollution, and in several instances has resulted in the loss of lives also.Posted On:22-Jul-2020

85 Crewmembers Test Positive for COVID Aboard Alaskan Factory Trawler
The factory trawler American Triumph, which experienced a major COVID-19 outbreak in June, has the disease on board once more. This time, 85 members of her 119-member crew (70 percent) have caught the novel coronavirus, according to health officials in Dutch Harbor.
As with the case of the Echizen Maru, the new outbreak aboard American Triumph raises questions about the certainty provided by long pre-quarantine periods and symptom-based screening. Before getting under way for Alaska last month, American Triumph's crew underwent a 14-day quarantine period and passed all public health protocols, but these preventive measures were not successful in keeping the virus off the ship.Posted On:22-Jul-2020

Denmark Gives Approval for International Crew Changes.
After discussions with shipowners and labor unions, Denmark s government is implementing a new solution for seafarers to go ashore and return home to their families.
Around the world, an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 mariners are stranded on ships and unable to return home to their families due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to government restrictions on disembarkation and international travel, these seafarers cannot travel, and their alternates cannot meet the ship to relieve them.Posted On:22-Jul-2020
