Mediterranean Shipping Company’s 108,637-dwt container ship MSC INES went aground in the Durban harbour entrance yesterday morning, resulting in desperate efforts by a team of tugs to pull her clear. With the 348.5 metre long ship (9,115-TEU capacity) having broached across the entire width of the channel, no further shipping movements became possible, although with the violent weather taking place at that time, the port would have remained closed to marine traffic anyway. See reports below. This picture is by Nick Hastie.

WEATHER BRINGS CHAOS IN DURBAN HARBOUR – SHIPS AGROUND

The Port of Durban and surrounding area, including most of the KZN South Coast, was struck by a violent storm yesterday in which between 140 and 220mm of rain fell in a short period, depending on the area. Most of the southern and central area of Durban, including the port, took the brunt of the storm.

Warnings of an abnormal storm were issued from as early as 08h00 yesterday but few would have anticipated the extreme weather that was to come. Across the city and surrounding areas streets were flooded, trees blown over, roofs of houses and flats blown off and flooding of homes occurred.

In the harbour things were just as bad. The Durban Marina which normally houses hundreds of small boats ranging from dinghies to large luxury sailing and motor yachts, ended up looking like a jumble sale along with a number of boats that sank at their moorings. Out in the harbour things were just as bad, as a number of ships broke their moorings and swift action was necessary to re-secure them. Not all were lucky.

“Yachts and boats in the small craft harbour and at the Point Yacht Club (PYC) have broken moorings. NSRI Durban rescue crews are at PYC assisting to corral boats and yachts broken free of moorings,” the National Sea Rescue Institute said. NSRI rescue swimmers and other personnel were also assisting various emergency services with rescuing people trapped in their cars by rising water.

“NSRI Durban [is] fully engaged assisting emergency services in and around Durban where babies, children and adults are being assisted to higher ground and freed from entrapments in homes, in motor vehicles and flash flooded areas,” the organisation said.

NSRI Durban, NSRI Shelly Beach and NSRI Port Edward and emergency services remained fully deployed assisting at floods in and around the Kwa-Zulu Natal North and South coasts.

In Durban harbour itself three ships plus a floating dock went aground in various areas of the harbour.

Most serious was the 9,115-TEU container ship MSC INES (108,637-dwt) which was sailing from the port bound for Port Louis. She was in the entrance channel and facing the open sea when she broached and went aground across the width of the channel, effectively blocking the 220-metre wide navigation path of the channel. She had in attendance at that time the solitary tug UMBILO – it is not known if the pilot had already left the ship.

MSC Ines remained stretched across the channel until about 16h30 when five tugs which had begun attending her, including two belonging to AMSOL – SMIT SIYANDA and SIYAKHULA, were able to secure her release.

She was taken back into the harbour initially to the Bluff and later to a berth at the Point where no doubt she will undergo an underwater inspection.

Meanwhile, a second container ship, the South Korean SM NEW YORK (102,518-dwt) broke loose of her moorings at DCT berth 204 and went aground on the central sandbank opposite. She was later refloated from the sandbank at about 19h00 and taken to berth O/P at the T Jetty. Elsewhere in the harbour, the products tanker BOW TRIUMPH (49,622-dwt) broke from her moorings at Island View 4 and went aground on the banks of Salisbury Island Naval Base. She couldn’t have been hard aground fortunately as she was freed in the later afternoon and has reberthed at Island View.

Another container ship, MSC SUSANNA, was out in the harbour when the storm broke and had to be assisted by several tugs to a berth at M Shed on the T Jetty. Down at the Bayhead the small Southern African Shipyards floating dock also broke from her moorings and went onto a sandbank together with TNPA’s latest tug on its deck.

In a prepared statement Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) said that all vessel movements had been suspended in the port due to the inclement weather. It said the weather was also expected to disrupt operations at the Port of Richards Bay, which is approximately 100 nautical miles to the northeast.

“Transnet’s marine services team and tugboats are assisting with several emergencies. These include the grounding of three vessels in the Port of Durban. Other vessels have broken mooring lines.”

TNPA also reported flooding of several TNPA port premises, including the Transnet Maritime School of Excellence in Bayhead Road. “Terminal and rail operations have been suspended to ensure the safety of people and equipment.”

In a second communiqué the TNPA said it has also managed to contain containers that had blown into the bay.

“At this stage vessel movements in the Port of Durban remain suspended until further notice. No severe disruptions have been reported thus far at the Port of Richards Bay.”

TNPA said it had earlier invoked a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) at its head office and the Port of Durban to ensure that it manages the situation closely. The BCP will be operational on a 24-hour basis until TNPA has restored operations.

Transnet Port Terminals said yesterday that the severe storm weather that hit KZN has caused extensive damage in the various Durban-based terminals, with Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) reporting damage to infrastructure and TPT owned equipment. “A disaster management plan has been activated and TPT is still in the process of determining the full extent of damage to equipment and infrastructure.

“Damage to roads throughout Durban caused by the storm have also impacted operations, with staff having limited access and means to reach the terminals. To ensure the safety of staff, equipment and customers’ cargo, terminals are closed until further notice. Operations will not resume unless it is deemed safe to do so.”

TPT said the focus was on firming up recovery plans to be implemented as soon as weather permits. “The possible impact to other Ports in KZN will be assessed and if need be operations will be halted should the weather pose a threat to safety. Stakeholders will continue to be kept informed and updated by TPT.”

The South African Maritime Safety Authority says that, working with the Transnet National Ports Authority, emergency response operations within the Port of Durban will continue to monitor Durban’s and the coastal weather and sea conditions.

Chief Operating Officer for SAMSA, Sobantu Tilayi confirmed that together with TNPA, SAMSA provided technical support during the multi vessel emergency operation. This was as a result of the major storm that hit Durban at about 09h30 this morning.

“Our principal officer from SAMSA Durban office, Captain Hopewell Mkhize together with the Port of Durban Harbour Master, Captain Alex Miya convened…[restrict] a Joint Operations Committee which managed the emergency response operations,” said Tilayi. “Five container ships in total were affected. We will continue monitoring weather conditions along the coast and monitor the situation in Durban for the next 48 hours.”

He said the Minister of Transport, Joe Maswanganyi, has been kept abreast of the emergency response and salvage operations.

An emergency meeting was convened at approximately 11h30 yesterday with Mkhize and Miya to form a joint command and engage on the refloating for the vessels MSC Ines, SM New York, Bow Triumph and the SA Shipyard floating dock with the new harbour tug on board. The meeting also dealt with the vessels MSC Susanna and Maritime Newanda that broke moorings and had to be held by harbour tugs to prevent them also running aground.

The vessel, MSC Ines took priority as it blocked the port entrance. It took five tugs to refloat the 330 metre long container vessel and once refloated, she was allocated a berth in the port for damage inspection.

The vessel, Bow Triumph, a 183 metre long product tanker, which was berthed in Island View broke its moorings and ran aground on the sand bank near the Island View Terminal. The vessel was refloated at 16h30 and it took further effort to clear the anchors which were still stuck. All refloating operations were completed at 17h30 and the vessel was allocated a berth overnight for damage inspection.

The vessel, SM New York, a 330 metre long container vessel, which ran aground near Maydon Wharf was also refloated successfully and was allocated a berth for damage inspection.

By 7pm last night the vessel, MSC Susanna, which had earlier broke from its mooring ropes, was secured.

The Maritime Newanda vessel which broke loose was held by tugs and is currently berthed at Maydon Wharf.

The SA Shipyards’ floating dock and new tug remain grounded on a sandbank. It will be attended to in daylight hours.

TNPA reported that there was a straddle carrier which was blown into the water and remains unsecured. There are also reports that some cranes were derailed by strong winds. Of concern, according to Tilayi, are reports that there were about three containers believed to have been lost into the water with the exact position unknown. These pose a danger to navigation within the vicinity. TNPA confirmed that a search will be conducted in daylight hours.

There were no injuries or pollution reported on all the above incidents. Durban Port was closed due to debris in the water and the unknown position of some containers which pose a danger to navigation and damage to vessels.

“We are pleased with the overall cooperation from all stakeholders and the swift action to ensure the safety of people and equipment. More importantly is the demonstration of emergency preparedness that was displayed during this major incident. It is the first time that we have had to attend to this number of casualties simultaneously.

“We are pleased by the reaction of TNPA and their handling of the incident. We are increasingly getting confronted with deteriorating weather patterns and can expect similar incidents in the future given the effects of climate change. It was a saving grace that all this took place within the harbour where all resources are concentrated, it could have been worse if it was over a large open sea area. A full SAMSA report will be done once all salvage operations are completed,” Tilayi said.[/restrict]

BOSCH PROJECTS COMPLETES UPGRADE OF DURBAN’S ICONIC SUGAR TERMINAL SHIPLOADERS

Bosch Projects, part of Bosch Holdings, has recently completed the upgrade of two shiploaders at the Durban Harbour, that have been used for over 50 years to load sugar onto vessels at the South African Sugar Association’s iconic sugar terminal.

These two shiploaders, commissioned in 1965 by Moreland Technical & Engineering Consultants – the predecessor of Bosch Holdings – needed to be refurbished in line with Transnet’s upgrade of berths at Maydon Wharf.

“The original 850 tph shiploaders were…[restrict]  designed to feed onto 35,000 ton Handymax vessels, but with upgrades at the port, designed to allow for a deeper draft and the berthing of 80,000 ton Panamax vessels, modernisation of these machines was critical if they were to remain in operation,” explains Dave Chappelow, Sector Director: Industrial, Bosch Projects. “Thorough inspections of these robust shiploaders indicated that in spite of many years of operation in aggressive seaside conditions, they were in good overall condition, with no excessive corrosion or evidence of fatigue.

Chappelow said the most cost effective solution was to restore the two existing shiploaders and to incorporate them into a new substructure that could utilise a new cope quayside rail. The reconfigured substructure provides the shiploaders’ existing booms sufficient access and clearance to service Panamax type vessels, even at the highest tides.

“Bosch Projects, in conjunction with contractors, Bayside Engineering, commenced onsite modifications in August 2017 to coincide with construction of the quay modifications. In spite of challenges, which included inclement coastal weather conditions and hot works restrictions imposed when vessels containing flammable goods were docked at the berth, timeous commissioning of the refurbished shiploaders took place a year later,” he said.

Each overhauled shiploader had a vertical lift of 1,32m and a horizontal seaward shift of 4m. Restoration entailed partial removal of existing legs of the structure; installation of new bogies and an advanced 33 ton substructure, with a 14 metre wheel base between the landside and seaside legs. A rear 4 metre extension allows for an extended feed conveyor and cable reeling drum.

This project also involved the replacement of two 9 ton ballast boxes with new 21.4 ton ballast boxes, to ensure stability of the machines under all load and wind conditions. A new Motor Control Centre (MCC) panel was linked to the existing MCC panel; a new support platform was installed and the original timber flooring was replaced with a grating and chequer plate structure.

Restoration also involved on and off site conveyor belt splicing, surface preparation and painting of selected existing steelwork, as well as the replacement of the cladding where necessary.

These shiploaders were moved by Lovemore Mechanical Projects during the berth upgrade to allow Transnet access for construction. The shiploaders’ 7 ton chutes and 16 ton booms were rigged down using a floating crane, for offloading at the staging area where they were reconditioned. The 112 ton main structures, each 20 metres high, were moved using a custom-made push and pull system, with the set up of temporary railway lines.

Once the shipbuilders were back in place, four 50 ton capacity hydraulic jacks, with a cumulative capacity of 200 tons, were used to lift them to install temporary supports to allow for the building of the new substructure. Hydraulic jacks were used again to remove the supports and install the bogies.[/restrict]

MSC CRUISES DEPLOYS INNOVATIVE MAN OVERBOARD DETECTION TECHNOLOGY

Intelligent video surveillance system demonstrates exceptional consistency and reliability

MSC Cruises, the Swiss-based world’s largest privately-owned cruise line and market leader in Europe and South America, announced yesterday the launch of a new vanguard video surveillance system offering even greater on-board security. In what it says is another industry-first, MSC Cruises has developed this highly-sophisticated advanced system in collaboration with global leaders in security technology, Bosch and Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

The integrated system is part of a bigger MSC Cruises operation to further optimise security monitoring on board the ship and…[restrict]  will allow, among other features, for the speediest intervention in the unlikely event a person or object falls overboard. After a successful pilot phase of extensive stress-testing and continuous software upgrades, the intelligent video capturing and analysis system is now operational – initially on MSC Cruises’ latest flagship, MSC MERAVIGLIA.

“The security and safety of our guests and crew on board has always been our highest priority,” said Pierfrancesco Vago, MSC Cruises’ Executive Chairman. “Therefore – as innovation has been from day one central to the way in which we operate and develop new features for our ships – we have developed a highly-innovative solution that, through the use of military-grade technology, will allow ship command to take immediate action if needed. While a ship at sea is a challenging environment for accurate video security monitoring and operating high-tech equipment, our teams have managed to successfully develop a system that is at the same time accurate, stable and reliable.”

The new MSC Cruises system consists of a comprehensive shield of intelligent optical and thermal video cameras which provide nonstop comprehensive surveillance alongside the relevant exterior parts of the ship. All captured video images are streamed in real-time to a Central Security Room where the video stream is monitored together with all other inputs from the 1,200 HD CCTV cameras on board the ship.

MSC Cruises Security Department and experts from Bosch and Hewlett Packard Enterprise have worked over 14 months to meet demanding security requirements and create the right surveillance setup. While a key component in the surveillance infrastructure is to install highly resilient hardware (cameras, casing, base) that resists tough conditions at sea, a significant part of the process is to program the software in such a way it provides reliable and accurate data. In order to further increase the accuracy of the captured video images, the latter are processed and analysed by two separate and independent image processing systems.

This double security system has allowed to significantly lower the error margin for false alerts – typically caused by natural movements such as waves, reflection of sun or moon, or a bird triggering the alarm. These ordinary interferences usually pose significant challenges for current shipboard CCTV technology. Through over 25,000 hours of video analysis, extensive software testing and continuous algorithmic updates, the system has now reached a confirmed accuracy level of 97%.

In case of alarm, an acoustic signal and light will alert the ship’s Security Officer in the Central Security Room who can immediately connect to the system and acquire all images and data and, if necessary, retrieve or review the relevant video images. The Security Officer has direct access to the ship command at the Bridge to allow for immediate action.

This new man overboard detection system was developed to further optimise security aspects for all guests and crew on board the ship. As MSC Cruises is bringing to the sea some of the very latest advances in customer-centric technology, investments in innovative, state-of-the-art maritime technology, safety and security have been central to the Company’s strategy.

The system is now operational on MSC Meraviglia and is a first of its kind in the industry. Over time, similar integrated systems will be developed and deployed across MSC Cruises’ global fleet.[/restrict]

Patented SuperShield ballistic protection by Cape Town vessel manufacturer Nautic Africa ensures the safety of crew in recent pirate attack off the coast of Nigeria

A 35m Sentinel patrol vessel designed and built by Cape Town shipyard Nautic Africa (a Paramount Group company), withstood a pirate attack off the coast of Nigeria at the end of September this year thanks to its high levels of ballistic protection that secured the safety of the crew and ensured the uninterrupted operation of the vessel.

The vessel and crew succeeded in thwarting an ambush attempt by pirates who attacked the vessel from the front armed with AK 47’s. Proving that the 35m Sentinel patrol vessel is properly armoured for its task, the crew managed to escape the attack unscathed.

“The demand for fast, rugged and highly ballistic protected vessels is particularly strong among African countries on the east and west coasts that are affected by incidents of piracy, drug trafficking, oil theft and/or illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing as well as other illicit offshore activities,” says James Fisher, Executive Chairman of Nautic Africa, explaining that…[restrict] their design teams work closely with clients to ensure that the vessels meet their specific needs.

“Ballistic protection has become a must in many African markets in order to guarantee the safety of the crew and passengers,” says Fisher, who adds that Nautic pioneered the use of ballistic protection in the oilfield support market. “We have invested substantially in providing market-leading capabilities in this area.”

“We are particularly grateful that one of our vessels met and delivered the required protection for crew who are susceptible to the dangers of these areas,” he said. “Nautic Africa is very confident in the knowledge these security vessels, which are manufactured using the lifesaving ‘Super Shield’ composite structure, will provide significant ballistic support from AK 47 gunfire. Nautic Africa’s STANAG Level 1 Ballistic Protection is standard on all platform security vessels.”

The vessels are primarily used for security and transfer of crew and cargo off the coast of Nigeria, and can also be used for various other roles such as dive support, environmental protection and, because of their versatility and adaptability, are able to conduct diverse operations and deal with a number of threats within a country’s exclusive economic zone.

At the time of design, the Nautic Africa team undertook extensive research and development to ensure that they delivered the best possible product.

The vessel is constructed with 5083 aluminium plates while the bridge is fitted with Nautic’s patented SuperShield Ballistic Structure. This provides protection against small arms such as AK-47 rifles favoured by sea borne criminals.

Nautic’s in-house design capability allows for greater levels of customisation on new builds to suit specific clients and the shipyard is committed to developing a support network on the continent.
