The bulk carrier SAKIZAYA DIAMOND (81,600-dwt), obviously minus any cargo, approaches the Durban port entrance channel in our first photographic offering in the maritime news pages of this week. Built in 2015 at the Tsuneishi Shipbuilding yard in Fukuyama, Japan, the bulk carrier is owned and managed by Wisdom Marne Lines of Taipei, Taiwan and flies the flag of Panama. The bulker was headed for berth 9 at Island View where she loaded bunkers. This picture was taken in July this year by Ken Malcolm

TRANSNET SETS NEW RECORDS OF COAL RAILED TO RICHARDS BAY
Transnet Freight Rail (TFR), Transnet’s largest division, set new operational records of coal railed to Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) during August 2017.
The remarkable weekly performances during this period culminated in a total tonnage railed during this month to 7,464,715 tons, thus exceeding the previous record of 6.9 million tons by 498,910 tons. An additional fifty-one (51) trains were offloaded to achieve this record.
RBCT Chief Executive, Alan Waller attributes this significant milestone to a joint collaboration between RBCT and TFR. “This is a major milestone, as it is the first time in 41 years of RBCT operation that we have offloaded more than 7 million tons per month.”
Ravi Nair, TFR Chief Executive echoed Waller’s sentiments by commending all stakeholders who were involved in the achievement of this record.
“Credit must also go to customers that ensured stockpile levels matched the plans; the TFR Rail Network and Rolling Stock Engineers that ensured expedient recovery whenever disruptions occurred and minimised downtime as well as the tireless efforts and sharp focus Transnet and RBCT employees display every day to deliver results,” said Nair.
He said that “the strides that the company has taken to meticulously improve efficiencies played a significant role to the achievement of the milestone.” TFR embarked on a seven days annual shutdown of the coal line during the month of July 2017 to effect the necessary maintenance activities. This exercise has yielded positive results in the form of, among others, enabling operators to significantly improve transit times from Ermelo to Richards Bay and improve wagon cycle times from 67 hours to an average of 61 hours.

TRANSNET MARITIME SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE PRINCIPAL MAASDORP SUSPENDED
Transnet has suspended the head of its Maritime School of Excellence in Durban, after complaints by students of mismanaged and chaotic training.
This is according to a report by amaBhungane in which a spokesperson for Transnet, Molatwane Likhethe declined to comment on reports that school principal Herschel-Michael Maasdorp had been suspended, saying that a disciplinary inquiry “involving … implicated officials” was under way following an official investigation.
He added that “matters between Transnet and its employees are confidential and cannot be discussed with external parties.”
The report said that Maasdorp has also declined to comment because…[restrict] Transnet had forbidden him from commenting on anything relating to the school, which is situated at the Bayhead near the entrance to the Durban Container Terminal.
AmaBhungane reported that it had recently spoken to two students of the maritime school, who said Maasdorp sent students a text message in June that stated: “Kindly refer your questions to [training facilitator] Captain Sanks and [acting senior manager of port services] Thamsanqa Basi. I have been suspended [from the maritime school] due to the complaints from … learners.”
AmaBhungane said that students claimed their academic programme was poorly planned, with disruptions that forced them to go home on at least one occasion. Among their contentions:
* Thirty-eight students who studied general purpose ratings have not yet undergone the practical part of their training, which involves spending 22 months on board a ship.
* The September 2016 graduation was a public show that took place before they had completed their qualifications.
* Eighty-eight Transnet Ports Terminals (TPT) students have not been able to find work outside Transnet because their qualifications, including the TPT planner course and other cargo co-ordinating courses, are not recognised by other employers.
Other qualifications, such as a freight handling course that included 13 weeks of practical work experience, earned students a National Qualification Framework level three qualification – when NQF level 4 was a minimum entry requirement for the course.
* “With NQF level 3 qualifications, we’re eligible for warehouse jobs that pay only R6,000 a month,” complained one student.
As part of the cargo co-ordinator and operating lifting equipment stream, the student hoped to work for Transnet as a port planner, cargo controller or machine operator. Each of those positions pays at least R15,000 a month.
Transnet established the school in 2013 [in the premises of what used to be called the Transnet Academy – Africa PORTS & SHIPS] to address the shortage of technical skills in the maritime sector and the critical skills deficits in South Africa generally. Transnet has pledged to spend R7.7-billion on training over the next decade. Parts of the old Durban International Airport building were also to be utilised.
At the graduation of the 2014 school intake, chief executive Siyabonga Gama announced that the parastatal had already spent R2.5-billion on training in what it calls “internationally recognised qualifications”.
The students – many of whom applied for entry-level jobs to Transnet when they were invited to enrol at the maritime school – said their biggest disappointment was that very few of them have been offered employment by Transnet, despite verbal promises by Maasdorp and Govender [Anand Govender was the school’s financial manager, until he too was suspended before resigning in June this year – Africa PORTS & SHIPS].
In other claims, according to amaBhungane, it was reported that to complete their practical experience in freight handling, the students were sent to a logistics company and a supermarket.
Many of them worked as delivery van assistants making deliveries, while others manned the tills and the bakery at the supermarket.
The students said their freight handling course was facilitated by another service provider.
Without being able to see and use the forklifts, scanners and record-keeping software they were learning about, they said they found the training difficult to master.

QUESTIONS RAISED OVER RESPONSIBILITY FOR SMUGGLING TIMBER IN MOZAMBIQUE
Searching questions have raised suspicion and speculation over whoever is responsible for smuggling timber in Mozambique. Readers will recall the number of articles published in Africa PORTS & SHIPS concerning the ongoing illegal cutting of timber in the forests of Mozambique and the equally illegal export of the cut timber to places such as Vietnam and China.
Now some statements made by President Filipe Nyusi have raised eyebrows during…[restrict] his visit to Zambézia earlier this month when he accused rangers and other local officials of turning a blind eye to the plundering of timber in the province, reports Deutsche Welle in an article in Portuguese.
The report added that the president even said he suspected forest-related entities of being directly involved in smuggling.
“Do not you see what you are doing? Or are your eyes closed with money? How is it that timber stolen from the forest and arrives at the port of Quelimane without being intercepted?” he demanded to know.
The president reminded his audience that Mozambique was losing millions in revenue through timber smuggling.
“It is necessary to prevent a small group from becoming rich to the detriment of the majority of Mozambicans,” he added: “I am even ashamed when I visit these countries and they say, ‘How is the situation in your country? This wood, which we bought there at a thousand meticais (EUR 140 euros), costs millions of dollars here.’ I pretend not to know anything.”
The orders “come from above”
The Provincial Directorate of Agriculture of Zambézia, responsible for the forest rangers, has not commented on President Nyusi’s statements, referring instead to the success of ‘Operation Tronco’ at the beginning of the year, when Mozambican authorities seized more than 150,000 cubic metres of illegal timber in six provinces, including Zambézia.
Meanwhile, Angelo Amaro, executive director of the nongovernmental organisation Kukumbe, says that the plundering of natural resources is not the fault of the forest rangers. The orders come from above, Amaro says.
“The president should not say this. The minister gives orders through phone calls for the timber to go through to the port of Beira, for example. The president knows exactly what is happening.”
Success in fighting clandestine logging
Amade Naleia, representative of the Zambezia Non-Governmental Organisations Forum (FONGZA), adds that there have been improvements in recent months, and that the illegal cutting and sale of timber has decreased significantly with the intervention of civil society organisations.
There are still obstacles, however. “We are often surprised. We intercept a trafficker with a lot of wood on his truck, and when we tell the authorities two or three days later we see that the wood and the truck are no longer there and the owner has disappeared. Then, we just do not know what is going on,” he explains. source: Deutsche Welle[/restrict]

RFA MOUNTS BAY DELIVERS VITAL AID TO CARIBBEAN ISLANDS
On 8 September the UK Ministry of Defence reported that RFA MOUNTS BAY has delivered six tonnes of emergency aid to Anguilla, the British Overseas Territory devastated by Hurricane Irma, and was due to arrive in the British Virgin Islands to provide further support within hours.
The ship has been deployed in the Caribbean since July in preparation for the hurricane season, ready to provide support at a moment’s notice. Tasked by the Royal Navy, she was the UK’s first military response to the Caribbean.[restrict]
The ship carries a specialist disaster relief team – drawn from the Royal Engineers and Royal Logistics Corps (see troops illustrated) – as well as heavy plant for lifting and shifting and emergency kit and shelters provided by the Department for International Development. Also on board are the Royal Navy’s Mobile Aviation Support Force – aviation specialists, meteorological advisors and flight deck crews.
Engineers were on hand to stop a potentially dangerous fuel leak at Anguilla’s main petrol dump, restore power to the island’s sole hospital and hand out shelters providing temporary homes for people left homeless by the storm. They also cleared the runway which was declared safe for relief flights.
RFA Mounts Bay’s Wildcat helicopter – from 815 Naval Air Squadron based at Yeovilton – also flew HE the Governor, Tim Foy on a flight over the island – which is 35 square miles in area (91 square km)– to survey the damage from the air during seven hours of continuous flying. The reconnaissance flight found widespread damage to infrastructure, schools, government buildings and power supplies.
As a result of the sortie, the island’s leaders and ship’s team decided to focus efforts on supporting the police headquarters as the hub of the relief effort, get the hospital on its feet again, and reinforce two shelter stations – particularly important with Hurricane José now barrelling towards the region.
Mounts Bay’s Commanding Officer Captain Stephen Norris RFA said: “My people worked tirelessly throughout the day with determination and flexibility to support the Governor and the people of Anguilla.
“Although Anguilla suffered extensive damage, normal signs of life were returning – some roads open and the local population beginning a recovery and clear-up operation.”
RFA Mounts Bay then made for the British Virgin Islands 90 nautical miles to the west – to concentrate on the days disaster relief efforts.
RFA Mounts Bay arrived in the British Virgin Islands at first light on 9 September having sailed overnight from Anguilla.
The crew undertook reconnaissance of the islands and brought the Governor onboard the ship where he was able to dial into the Cabinet Office Briefing Room (COBR) meeting chaired by the Prime Minister at No 10 in London.
The Governor gave the PM an update of the current situation and the Mounts Bay ship’s company went on to deliver vital aid to the island.
As part of a wider military effort, Britain’s flagship HMS OCEAN has been diverted from her NATO mission in the Mediterranean to the Caribbean to help with the reconstruction effort – as HMS ILLUSTRIOUS did in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines four years ago.[/restrict]

THE ROYAL NAVY’S NEW TYPE 31e FRIGATES
On 7 September UK Defence Minister Harriett Baldwin launched plans for the procurement of the Royal Navy’s new Type 31e frigates – a day after the announcement of a new National Shipbuilding Strategy.
The competition, unveiled by senior leaders from the Ministry of Defence, Royal Navy and Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), will boost the UK shipbuilding industry and provide the route to grow the Royal Navy fleet, it is reported.
A price cap has been set of no more than £250 million each for the first batch of five frigates. In line with standing UK policy on warships they will be built in home yards. They could be built in a way…[restrict] which could see them shared between yards and assembled at a central hub. The first ships are set to be in service by 2023. Shipyards will be encouraged to work with global partners to ensure the vessel is competitive on the export market.
The announcement comes the day after Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon unveiled an ambitious new National Shipbuilding Strategy, outlining a commitment to encourage a more competitive industry, grow jobs across the country, and put a focus on exporting advanced design British ships.
Minister for Defence Procurement Harriett Baldwin commented: “A day after we launched the National Shipbuilding Strategy, we are taking our first major step towards realising it by launching the Type 31e programme.
“It will take the very best of British engineering, innovation and drive to achieve it and, as a nation, we have shown time and time again that we have what it takes to deliver. This programme will re-energise a world-leading, vibrant and competitive British shipbuilding industry.”
The Type 31e frigate will replace five of the Royal Navy’s Type 23 frigates. The other eight Type 23s are already set to be replaced by the upcoming Type 26 class.
Geared towards maritime security and defence engagement, the Type 31e will fulfil roles such as the Fleet Ready Escort duties in home waters, fixed tasks in the South Atlantic, Caribbean and the Gulf, and the UK’s NATO commitments in the Mediterranean.
Admiral Sir Philip Jones, First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff, added: “Through the Queen Elizabeth-class carrier project, we proved to the world – and to ourselves – that Britain still has what it takes to be a great maritime industrial nation. The National Shipbuilding Strategy seeks to build upon this achievement by charting a course towards a more sustainable and competitive industrial base that can support regional growth and prosperity as well as strengthen our national security.
“With the Type 31e General Purpose Frigate Programme, the Royal Navy will bring our requirements into line with the demands of the export market to help support that ambition. Mostly excitingly of all, this offers a historic and vital opportunity to increase the size of the Royal Navy in the decades ahead.”
Other requirements for the Type 31e frigate include a hangar and flight deck big enough for a helicopter and unmanned air vehicles (drones), enough accommodation to support the standard ship’s company with mission specialists as required, and stowage for sea boats, disaster relief stores and other equipment.
It will be operated by between 80 and 100 men and women and needs to be sufficiently flexible to incorporate future developments in technology, including unmanned systems and novel weaponry.
The proposed Type 31e frigates will be built in a modular way, which could see the construction work shared between yards around the UK and assembled at a central hub.
The option to build the Type 31e frigates in blocks reflects how the biggest ship ever built for the Royal Navy, the 65,000-tonne displacement HMS Queen Elizabeth, was constructed. The aircraft carrier was built in blocks by over 10,000 people in six main British cities. She was then assembled in Rosyth, before commencing sea trials in June and arriving in her home port of Portsmouth last month.
Tony Douglas, the Chief Executive Officer of DE&S, concluded by saying: “The Type 31e programme will drive the change that is needed through the entire system, because we have set tough time and cost constraints. The collective challenge for DE&S and industry is to deliver Type 31e in a different, more innovative way than has gone before. I want this to be a transformation in the way we do business – not just in ships and acquisition but across the entire defence equipment and support portfolio.”
The Ministry of Defence is committed to new ships for the Royal Navy through its rising budget and £178 billion equipment plan. In July, the Defence Secretary cut the first piece of steel for the first of eight Type 26 frigates at BAE Systems’ Govan shipyard in Scotland.[/restrict]

Bibby WaveMaster 1 officially named in Rotterdam
Ground-breaking Damen Service Operations Vessel makes her debut
On 6 September, at 13h00 local time, the naming ceremony of the BIBBY WAVEMASTER 1 took place at the cruise terminal in the Port of Rotterdam in front of more than 125 guests from the UK-based Bibby Group, Damen and a range of industry partners.
More than ten members of the Bibby family attended while the Damen family was represented by Chief Commercial Officer Arnout Damen. The naming, by Lady Sponsor Mrs Jacky Blaikie, is the culmination of a programme that began nearly four years ago to develop a vessel that could meet the needs of the offshore wind industry in an efficient, economic and environmentally-responsible way.
The Bibby WaveMaster 1 is the first of Damen’s new class of purpose-built Service Operations Vessels (SOV) with Walk-to-Work (W2W) capability. The Damen Group identified the need for such a vessel back in 2013 following consultations within the offshore renewables industry and launched a research programme that set out to develop an entirely new concept from the ground up in cooperation with a number of key suppliers.
The design that came out of this process combined DP-2 and a new motion-compensated gangway with an innovative hull design, a revolutionary internal layout, and a comprehensive range of additional innovations designed to increase efficiencies and reduce costs.
In January 2016, Bibby Marine Services and Damen signed a contract for the building of the first of the new class, steel was cut for the first time just weeks later, and the new build was officially launched at Damen Shipyards Galati on 24 March 2017.
In his speech to the assembled guests, Arnout Damen noted the shared longevity of the two, family-owned, companies totalling 300 years; 210 for Bibby and 90 for Damen, and the fact that the values shared by both organisations underpinned the success of the project. He then went on to describe the evolution of the SOV design and the critical role that Bibby played in it, before handing over to Stephen Blaikie, CEO of Bibby Marine Services. The speeches were then followed by lunch and guided tours of the vessel to show its many unique features.
After the event, Stephen Blaikie commented: “The day has been very successful and the weather remained kind to us. The location in Rotterdam was ideal. The Bibby WaveMaster 1 will now undergo a few days of final systems testing before starting operations on 18 September with James Fisher Marine Services at Innogy’s 336MW Galloper wind farm off the coast of Suffolk, UK, performing winter commissioning work on the project’s substation and 56 Siemens 6MW turbines.”
In a demonstration of her versatility, on 1 April 2018 she will begin an assignment for Total E&P Nederland, working on gas platforms in the Dutch sector of the North Sea. “This was a conscious decision of Total to examine, explore and utilise techniques developed by the offshore renewables industry and import those techniques into the oil & gas sector,” continued Stephen Blaikie.
“The Bibby WaveMaster 1 will deliver substantial cost savings over the traditional forms of transport / access and accommodation used for gas platform maintenance. Overall we are very pleased with our relationship with Damen and the quality and innovation that has been displayed in this vessel.”
“Everyone really enjoyed the day,” concluded Arjen van Elk, Sales Manager UK & Ireland at Damen. “It was a very unique event for a unique vessel. Everyone was impressed by the finish and the quality, and also by the accommodation for the crew and personnel. We hope today marks the beginning of a new era in the SOV market and in our cooperation with Bibby.”

PIC OF THE DAY : ASIAN MAJESTY
Just another bulk carrier to finish off today’s edition of the maritime news, you say? Every ship has its own story and in many cases there are proud owners or operators. The picture above shows ASIAN MAJESTY (62,466-dwt) in the Durban port entrance channel as she arrives in port, with the Bluff peninsular forming a familiar and recognisable backdrop. In November 2016 the 200-metre long, 32m wide ship joined the Singapore-based U-Ming Marine Transport Pte Ltd fleet of eco-friendly ships straight from the builders. The ultramax Asian Majesty was built at the Oshima Shipbuilding Co shipyard in Japan via a contract with Sumitomo Corporation.
Asian Majesty’s eco-friendly aspects include a streamlined hull that utilises low resistance anti-fouling paint, a ballast water treatment system, rudder bulb, pre-swirl stator and flipper fins, new ME-type main engine and various energy-saving machineries and equipment; achieving a fuel saving of at least 25 percent thus enhancing the overall operational efficiency and performance.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO)’s standards on carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), specified that the CO2 emission for 2015~2019 must be lower than IMO’s reference value by 10%. But the CO2 emission for this new vessel has already exceeded the emission standard for 2020-2024 and is lower than the IMO’s reference value by 32%, according to the operator. The ship has met the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore’s Green Ship Programme’s criteria and has been able to enjoy a reduction in the Initial Registration Fees and an Annual Tonnage Tax rebate.
U-Ming meanwhile has de-commissioned 14 older bulk carriers since 2010 and replaced them with 19 new fuel-efficient and environmental-friendly vessels, increasing the company’s overall cargo-carrying capacity and maintaining a much younger fleet. U-Ming currently has another seven vessels on order with shipyards, including two Capesize vessels from the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipyard and three Ultramax + two Panamax vessels ex the Oshima Shipyard. These are expected to be delivered by 2019, bringing the fleet average age to about 6.5 years.
LIke we said, every ship has its own story to tell. This picture is by Keith Betts
