Singapore Launches New High-Speed Vessels to Counter Maritime Threats
On July 21, Singapore launched two types of new high-speed vessels to better counter the growing maritime threats the country is facing.

The Singapore Police Coast Guard (PCG) inducted 11 new patrol interdiction boats (PIBs) and six second generation PK-class interceptors into the service. The vessels were commissioned by city-state’s deputy prime minister, home minister and coordinating minister for national security Teo Chee Hean.

In a speech delivered at the commissioning ceremony and seen by The Diplomat, Teo said that the induction “marks a significant milestone in the renewal and upgrading” of Singapore’s capabilities.

Specifically, the two types of vessels will enhance Singapore’s interception capabilities, allowing them to deal decisively with faster and better-equipped intruding boats before they reach the country’s shores. The PIBs can achieve speeds in excess of 45 knots and are equipped with armor protection and a Stabilized Naval Gun System which can track targets automatically and more accurately. They also have beaching capabilities so that PCG officers can pursue targets on shore if needed.

FMC Gives Green Light to Northwest Seaport Alliance
The United States Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) has voted to allow the establishment of the Port of Seattle/Port of Tacoma Alliance Agreement to become effective on July 23, 2015.

The Commission has approved the deal having determined that the agreement is not likely to produce an unreasonable increase in transportation cost or an unreasonable reduction in transportation service under the Shipping Act.

Under the approval, the two ports have been cleared to meet, discuss, and reach agreement on the management, use and operation of their marine cargo business, including joint business planning and marketing to further develop infrastructure and improve productivity.

To help achieve its goals, the agreement authorizes establishment of a Port Development Authority (PDA), effective August 1, 2015, to promote and assist economic development of the Alliance’s marine cargo operations.

VTTI Kenya terminal receives its largest cargo vessel
VTTI s Kenyan terminal received its largest cargo when the MT Hafnia Europe berthed at its terminal.
The oil vessel berthed for oil discharge at the terminal in June. The 78,000 m3 cargo required almost all of the terminal s capacity.

The cargo was nominated for the terminal through the Kenya government-controlled Open Tender System, which is usually reserved for cargoes destined for government controlled facilities used by all oil marketing companies in Kenya.

APM Terminals Apapa set new productivity record
APM Terminals Apapa, Lagos, set a new productivity milestone for container terminals in Nigeria, a statement said.

The statement issued by Austine Fischer, the terminal’s Communications and Sustainability Manager, said the terminal crossed a benchmark of 75 berth moves per hour.

“While handling Safmarine’s vessel, the 62,557 DWT, 4,500 TEU MV Safmarine Chambal, APM Terminals handled 868 container moves during an 11 hour, 30 minutes operation,” it said. “Gross crane productivity was 19 container moves per crane per hour, resulting in berth productivity of 75.63 moves per hour.

“This is the first time APM Terminals have crossed the important benchmark of 75 berth moves per hour and we believe we are the first container terminal in Nigeria to have done so.

“We believe this sets a new benchmark for container terminals in Nigeria.’’

The statement also quoted Jan Thorhauge, Managing Director, Maersk Line, Nigeria, as saying: “Consistent high terminal berth productivity is a critical cost driver for all shipping lines.

“It translates directly into significant bunker cost savings for the industry and thereby lower overall supply chain costs for the Nigerian importers.

“Achieving the levels of productivity delivered by APM Terminals on the MV Safmarine Chambai with a Mobile Harbour Crane operation is quite remarkable.

“We are delighted and offer our congratulations to the operational team at APM Terminals’’.

Sasa Port upgrading project feared to worsen traffic
A city councilor called on the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) to conduct a further study on the possible impact of the P17-billion Sasa Port modernization project on traffic.

In a privilege speech, Councilor Diosdado Mahipus expressed fear the project might worsen traffic congestion on the road leading to and from the port and neighboring areas after it becomes fully operational.

“This will become a bottleneck for traffic in Sasa, once this project pushes through,” he said.

He added that even some alternative routes may not be able to carry as much traffic to prevent congestion.

Aside from traffic, the construction of the port might displace several settlers in its immediate environs, he said.

“There’s no need to hurry up this project,” he added.

But in a recent forum, DOTC Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya said they are pushing through with the pre-bidding qualification set on July 29 in order to complete the bidding before the end of President Benigno Aquino III’s term next year.

He said they will consider all the recommendations of the city government and other stakeholders on the proposed modernization plan while undertaking the bidding process.

Councilor Leonardo Avila III said that it is within the jurisdiction of the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) to develop and construct a port.

The mandate of PPA is “to establish, develop, regulate, manage and operate a rationalized national port system in support of trade and national development.”

New Suez Canal test operation to start Saturday
he new Suez Canal project will start its trial operation process on Saturday, 11 days before the official inauguration on 6 August, Al-Ahram newspaper reported. Mohamed Sakr, the head of navigational management department at the Suez Canal Authority, told Al-Ahram that different size ships will participate in the trial.

He added that the new 72km canal will have ten guidance stations.

Mohab Mamesh, the head of the Suez Canal Authority, said on Monday that 97.2 percent of the project had been completed.

According to Aswat Masryia, workers have finished dredging 250 million square meters of earth for the new route, as well as digging 70 million square meters for the expansion of the Ballah Bypass located on the western edge of the canal.

The government will fund the grand opening ceremony on 6 August through donations from the public and contributions from participating dredging companies to avoid any burdens on the state budget, Mamesh said last month.

Maritime center hosts exhibits on "Titanic shipwreck of the Great Lakes."
If you haven't heard of the Eastland disaster in Chicago, you are not alone.

On July 24, 1915, 100 years ago on Friday, the excursion steamer Eastland was being loaded on the Chicago River with passengers for a company picnic when it tipped over and 844 people drowned.

Until the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, it had been the deadliest single event on American soil. But people tend to remember more spectacular maritime disasters, such as the Titanic sinking in 1912 and Lusitania ocean liner being sunk by a German torpedo just three months before the Eastland disaster.

Kevin Gange from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers felt it was important to let visitors to the Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center in Canal Park receive an interpretation of the Eastland disaster, which he refers to as the "Titanic shipwreck of the Great Lakes." It remains the deadliest of any Great Lakes-connected shipwrecks.
