With Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) reported to be making a number of switches of ships to its South Africa – North West Continent (NWC) service one can expect several ‘new’ ships appearing in Durban, Ngqura and Cape Town as well as the Northern European ports. One of these appeared in Durban at the weekend, the 11,000-TEU MSC NITYA B (134,007-dwt, built 2017) which was phased in on voyage 1748, is making maiden calls at Durban, Port Elizabeth/Ngqura, Cape Town, Las Palmas, London Gateway, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp and Le Havre on the north leg. MSC Nitya B, which is one of five ships taken recently on bareboat charter from Canada’s Seaspan Corporation, is replacing the 8,800-TEU MSC Desiree (111,300-dwt) on the NWC service, being one of a reported five such changes. MSC Desiree is currently at Durban’s cross berth 108 on the container terminal. MSC Nitya B flies the flag of Portugal. This picture is by Trevor Jones

TNPA WORKBOAT CAPSIZES IN PORT OF DURBAN
In another incident involving departmental marine services at the Port of Durban, a workboat named UQOYI used to ferry mooring rope handlers to ships arriving or departing from the harbour, capsized at approximately 12h30 on Friday 17 November.
The accident occurred while the two harbour tugs UTHUKELA and LOTHENI were bringing in the 49,999-dwt tanker GAN-TRUST to berth at Island View 6. The chemical and oil products tanker was under pilotage at the time.
According to TNPA the mooring lines, presumably secured to the Uqoyi, became tangled around the tug Lotheni’s propellers (Voith Schneider blades) which resulted in the workboat capsizing, throwing a number of the personnel on board into the water. Those on board were all employees of the TNPA.
All those crew who went into the bay were rescued and three were later taken to hospital for assessment but were discharged the same afternoon.
Port manager Moshe Motlohi said that shipping delays could be anticipated while the tug Lotheni undergoes a full assessment.
Coincidentally, the new tug USIBA which was handed over to Transnet earlier that day, was due to depart for the port of Cape Town at the weekend and could have been retained to help out at Durban until Lotheni was passed for duty.
The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) has been informed of the matter.

SA SHIPYARDS LAUNCHES TUG No.8 UMKHOMAZI, WHILE USIBA DEPARTS FOR CAPE TOWN

The penultimate tug being built for Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) as part of its R1.4 billion, nine-tug construction contract, was launched into the waters of Durban Bay on Friday at Southern African Shipyards.
Named UMKHOMAZI, meaning ‘place of cow whales’ in isiZulu, the latest tug will serve at the Port of Durban. All nine tugs are being built by Southern African Shipyards at their shipyard at Bayhead in Durban.
Umkhomazi follows the port’s tradition of naming its marine fleet after local rivers. She is…[restrict] named after the river that rises in the southern Drakensberg Mountains and enters the sea on Kwa-Zulu Natal’s South Coast. The river is also known as the Mkhomazi or Umkomaas – a moniker given by the Zulus in reference to large numbers of whales once using the estuary as a nursery.
Friday’s event also saw the handover to TNPA of the seventh tug, USIBA, which was named and launched in August. TNPA GM: Commercial & Marketing and Lady Sponsor of Umkhomazi, Lauriette Sesoko, revealed that USIBA would now be delivered to the Port of Cape Town.
“One of the benefits of being a multi-port authority running a complementary port system is that we are able to pool our resources between our ports and to adjust plans where necessary. Originally, tugs in this order were planned for the Ports of Durban, Richards Bay, Saldanha and Port Elizabeth, where the needs at the time were assessed as being the greatest.
“However, we have since taken the decision to redeploy the seventh tug, Usiba, from Richards Bay to Cape Town instead,” she said.
Sesoko said the Port of Cape Town had recently experienced an upsurge in larger vessels requiring tugs with a more powerful bollard pull. Meanwhile, the Port of Richards Bay had already received three new tugs in recent years.
“TNPA has assessed and mitigated this risk to ensure that Richards Bay’s port operations are not compromised. In future orders where Cape Town is catered for, a tug will be reimbursed to the Port of Richards Bay,” she said.
Sesoko gave the assurance that TNPA would continue to roll out its fleet replacement programme to best serve all its ports and their customers.
Through the current tug construction project TNPA and Southern African Shipyards have created 500 direct and 3500 indirect jobs with a minimum of 60% locally manufactured components.
Subcontractors involved on the project include international subcontractors with local operations such as Barloworld Equipment, Siemens and Voith Schneider, as well as local contractors such as Bradgary Marine Shopfitters.
The nine tugs are being built for TNPA over three and a half years, with five under construction at any given time, as part of a wider fleet replacement programme that also includes new dredging vessels and new marine aviation helicopters.
TNPA says that having new and more powerful tugs in its ports will better enable its marine operations to improve operational efficiency, speed up vessel turnaround times and assist bigger commercial vessels.
Sesoko expressed her satisfaction at the progress of the contract.
“Every time we gather like this, at some momentous occasion celebrating a truly South African success story, I am reminded of the potential of us as South Africans. The Ocean’s Economy translates to skills development, jobs, innovation, entrepreneurship and changing this country for the better always,” she said.
Southern African Shipyards CEO, Prasheen Maharaj commended TNPA for investing such confidence in a local company.
“This contract has had a major positive socio-economic impact on the Marine Manufacturing Value Chain and created thousands of direct and indirect jobs. It has also resulted in the training of over 40 Apprentice Artisans during the construction period. In addition, it has stimulated industrial innovation and led to the development of prototype components that could be used widely in the maritime and industrial sectors in the future.
“As recognition of this achievement, TNPA and SAS were awarded the KZN Top Business Award in the Partnership category. It’s only through these types of co-operative and collaborative partnerships that will we be able to navigate our way out of the critical economic crisis our country finds itself in. We need many more such pockets of excellence,” said Maharaj.[/restrict]

FOUR SOUTH AFRICAN SAILORS RESCUED OFF MOZAMBIQUE COAST
Four South African sailors were rescued off the coast of Mozambique early on Thursday (16 November) after the yacht KINDA MAGIC released a distress signal.
The Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) Cape Town was notified at about 06h50 of a yacht in possible distress. The Kinda Magic was reported to be about 215 km from Ilha Do Fogo (in Mozambique) and approximately 175 km directly from shore. The yacht…[restrict] which was built in Cape Town was being delivered to the owner in the Seychelles.
The distress signal was received by means of an EPIRB (a vessel distress beacon) activation and relayed by means of the COSPAS-SARSAT Systems (the Satellite Search and Rescue system which is part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System).
MRCC Cape Town immediately responded to the distress notification and on further investigation found that the yacht was sinking.
As part of the response to the distress signal vessels in the area that could possibly be diverted to assist were identified and the tanker MERSINI, which was sailing from Durban to the Comores, was contacted through Maritime Radio, based in Cape Town.
Mersini was requested to divert to assist the distressed yacht.
The vessel Master complied with the request and confirmed the nature of distress as it was also received on VHF radio transmission. The vessel arrived on-scene at 08h43 local time and all four crew members, who had abandoned ship and were in the yacht’s life raft, were rescued.
Chief Operating Officer for SAMSA, Sobantu Tilayi said the contribution of the MT Mersini, her Captain, and crew in the saving of the South African lives was greatly appreciated.
“We are pleased with the MRCC and their handling of the incident. We are daily faced with increasingly bad weather and deteriorating weather patterns. The quick response of the MRCC and the efforts of nearby ships averted a near tragic incident,” he said.
The MRCC said four occupants of the yacht – all South Africans – had been rescued shortly before their yacht sank by the chemical and oil products tanker Mersini which was heading for the Comores.
MRCC Cape Town has notified the Regional SAR authorities of Mozambique, Madagascar and Comores of the incident and rescue as well as Department of International Relations and Cooperation’s (Dirco) in order to facilitate the repatriation of the South African sailors.
The progress of the rescue vessel, and the status of the survivors, was being monitored until arrival at its destination, the MRCC said.[/restrict]

COOPERATION FOR OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS IN WEST, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AFRICA
Côte d’Ivoire conference 6-9 November
From an IMO briefing of 17 November it has been learnt that participants at a regional conference discussed a number of topics, including relevant international and regional legislation, exercising and training, use of oil spill dispersants, trans-boundary cooperation and shoreline clean-up.
It was reported that the regional conference of countries in west, central and southern Africa have now committed themselves to continue to work at national and regional levels to boost preparedness to deal with…[restrict] oil spill incidents which could be devastating for the marine environment and financially.
Held from 6-9 November in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, the Conference was hosted by CIAPOL, the Ivoirian pollution control centre (Centre Ivoirien Antipollution).
This event brought together industry and government focal points from 20 out of 22 west, central and southern African countries* covered by the Global Initiative for West, Central and Southern Africa (GI-WACAF). This project is run by the IMO and the IPIECA (the London-based International Petroleum Industry Environmental Conservation Association).
The GI-WACAF project aims to enhance the level of oil-spill preparedness in a particularly vulnerable region, adjacent to international sea trade routes and significant and rapidly expanding offshore oil and gas activity. The regional conference is said to be the largest event for oil spill preparedness, response and cooperation activities in the regions of west, central and southern Africa. It is held once every two years to review progress to date, provide a forum to share experiences and set the project’s priorities for the next two years.
Broad participation
Participants discussed a number of topics, including relevant international and regional legislation, exercise and training, use of oil spill dispersants, trans-boundary cooperation and shoreline clean-up. Experts from Cedre, ITOPF, OSPRI, OSRL, SANCCOB and a number of international oil companies** helped to facilitate the conference, alongside the Project’s network of dedicated focal points from the region.
Strengthening national oil spill response capacities
The GI-WACAF project, which was initiated in 2006, focuses on strengthening national oil spill response capacities as well as transboundary response capabilities, in line with IMO’s International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-operation 1990 (OPRC 90). This treaty is the international instrument that provides a framework designed to facilitate international co-operation and mutual assistance in preparing for and responding to major oil pollution incidents. It requires States to plan and prepare by developing national systems for pollution response in their respective countries, and by maintaining adequate capacity and resources to address oil pollution emergencies.
Numerous activities designed to develop many aspects of national spill preparedness and response have been held over the past decade. The 100th GI-WACAF activity, in Abidjan and Assinie, Côte d’Ivoire (8-9 June 2017), demonstrated progress being made in the region.
During that activity, GI-WACAF’s primary role was the evaluation of a national exercise, planned and implemented by the national authorities, which simulated the collision of an oil tanker with an unknown ship off the Ivorian coast, causing a major oil spill. This oil spill training exercise involved more than 100 participants from various public institutions and the private sector, working together to respond to the simulated spill, first at sea and then ashore. The exercise tested Côte d’Ivoire’s National Oil Spill Contingency Plan, developed with support from the GI-WACAF project.
Participants at the regional conference discussed a number of topics, including relevant international and regional legislation, exercise and training, use of oil spill dispersants, trans-boundary cooperation and shoreline clean-up.
These efforts aim to complement the work undertaken at the national level to ratify and fully implement relevant IMO treaties, including the OPRC Convention and liability and compensation treaties which cover pollution damage by oil from ships (such as the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage (CLC 1992) and the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, 2001).
Ratification amongst countries is steadily increasing. Most of the 22 countries have now ratified the OPRC and CLC conventions, while the pace of ratification of the Bunkers convention needs further commitment and focus since only six of the 22 have ratified this treaty to date.
Since the GI-WACAF project’s inception, significant strides have been made throughout the region in the development of spill preparedness and response capacity, with nearly all countries now having a designated competent authority response for spill response. There has been a three-fold increase in the number of countries with a national oil spill contingency plan.
Further priorities
The need for improved inter-agency coordination and clear agreement and definition on the roles and responsibilities of those engaged in all aspects of oil preparedness and response at a national level were also highlighted at the conference. Further support in effectively addressing shoreline clean-up and waste management within national spill response systems, was also identified as a priority need for action in the next two years.
*The 22 African countries in the GI-WACAF project are: Angola, Benin, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Liberia, Mauritania, Namibia, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.

SAILORS’ SOCIETY SOUTHERN AFRICA CELEBRATES 140 YEARS OF SERVICE TO SEAFARERS
Sailors’ Society SA celebrated its 140th anniversary by holding a well attended service in the Durban Glenwood Presbyterian Church on 19 November.
Led by the Revd William Pool with the Revd Boet van Schalkwyk, Principal Chaplain, participating, tribute was paid to those who from 1877 built up the Society to what it is today. The Sailors’ Society of SA is a Christian Mission organisation established in Durban in 1877 by Mrs Marie Schulz, wife of Durban’s Medical Officer of Health who recognised the need to provide a welfare service for seafarers visiting the port.
Representatives from the various Missions and organisations associated with Sailors’ Society who was present delivered messages of good wishes and others were read. Chairman of Sailors Society SA, Mr Barry Haley presented Chaplains with certificates for their years of devotion to seafarers. Recipients were the Revd Boet van Schalkwyk, Revd Paul Richardson, Missionary Jessie John, Chaplain Steve van Schalkwyk from Cape Town and Ds Danie Taljard from Port Elizabeth.
It was also a particular honour to have received warm greetings from the Chief Executive, Sailors’ Society in the UK, Mr Stuart Rivers who unfortunately could not attend. In his message he sketched the present projects as well as looking to the future.
Continuing to value the collaboration between the sister societies in South Africa, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, avenues and areas are continually being explored where we can collaborate, extend and develop the work of the Societies, he wrote. The partnership is one of like-mindedness, serving seafarers and their families, servicing our shared ministry and serving God.
He explained the programmes they have developed to assist seafarers whilst in port and at sea. The Wellness at Sea Programme, e-Learning platform and App which looks at seafarer wellness and well-being through a holistic lens. A Crisis Response Network has also been set up.
“Our vision for the future is to continue to extend the above services in ports around the world, and provide platforms for other maritime charities in terms of digital technology. We have an innovative digital strategy, which enables us to provide greater continuity of care to seafarers around the world through real time reporting. Our work is global and you are an integral part of this dynamic ministry. We stand together with you today and in the future as one global Christian organisation with a passion for shared ministry,” he said.
Today the Society provides a free service for the wellbeing of seafarers who visit the ports annually irrespective of their nationality, gender, culture and faith. These services are as much in demand now as they have been during the last 140 years, and now includes trauma counselling for survivors of piracy attacks and disasters at sea.
The Sailors’ Society of Southern Africa, from its humble beginnings, has ‘lived’ through two world wars serving seafarers. The Society is a dynamic organisation using modern technology and developing techniques to assist seafarers in the fast developing and turbulent times we now find ourselves in and still maintaining its tenet of ‘being good Samaritans to those who go out on the oceans’.

RFA TIDESPRING ARRIVES PORTSMOUTH: COMMISSIONING OF HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH
The Royal Fleet Auxiliary’s new tanker RFA Tidespring has sailed into Portsmouth ahead of her dedication ceremony on 27 November. This was reported by the Ministry of Defence on 16 November.
The 39,000 tonne (displacement) tanker will be brought into service with the RFA – the civilian-manned fleet of support vessels which provide fuel, food and stores for Royal Navy warships all over the world. The RFA is a civilian-manned fleet owned by the Ministry of Defence and is the largest UK employer of British merchant seamen.
Tidespring and her three…[restrict] sister ships are flexible, advanced vessels that will provide key support to the Queen Elizabeth Class of aircraft carriers.
They are part of the UK government’s £178million equipment plan to provide the Armed Forces with the equipment needed to provide effective operational support across the globe.
Head of the RFA Commodore Duncan Lamb commented: “Tidespring’s arrival in Portsmouth today (16 November) is an exciting milestone in the history of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. She is a tangible demonstration of the success of the MARS* Tanker project which is delivering first-class global support for a first-class global navy.”
RFA Tidespring’s CO Captain Simon Herbert said: “Sailing the first of class of any ships is an immense privilege and I am extremely proud to be able to bring this highly modern, capable ship into Portsmouth Naval Base today. Not only are we the first of the Tide class but we are also the first to sail with HMS Queen Elizabeth once she officially joins the Royal Navy later this year, and that is a huge honour for myself and the ship’s company.”
Earlier this week (w/c 12 November) RFA Tidespring held her first Replenishment at Sea (RAS) off the South Coast with RFA Wave Knight, ensuring that all aspects of transferring fuel lines to another ship were successfully completed.
The Tide Class tankers are replacing the RFA’s current ageing single-hulled tankers. Larger than their predecessors and double hulled, they are an advanced capability specifically designed to provide fuel and water to the carriers. They can also accommodate a Chinook helicopter on their flight decks and will also be able to undertake a range of maritime operations such as policing shipping lanes and providing humanitarian relief.
The ships will predominately be working out of Falmouth.
Commissioning of HMS Queen Elizabeth
HM the Queen will formally commission her namesake aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, into the Fleet in just three weeks.
Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson (seen here with CO Captain Jerry Kyd) announced on 16 November the news as he made his first deck landing on the carrier while she was underway off the South Coast of England.
The carrier is currently making great progress through her sea trials and will return to her home port of Portsmouth. Her Majesty will then visit the ship in Portsmouth on 7 December for the formal commissioning ceremony.
Her Majesty will be joined by a host of dignitaries from the Royal Family, Government and the military, before saying a few words as Lady Sponsor. The commissioning warrant will then be read and the White Ensign raised, symbolising the acceptance of HMS Queen Elizabeth into the Fleet.

EDUCATION IN NORTHERN KZN RECEIVES A BOOST FROM TRANSNET
During November 2017, Transnet handed over 50 desktop computers and 10 laptops in an official handover ceremony that took place at the Madoda Hall in Empangeni.
The computers that were donated in partnership with one of Transnet’s suppliers, Dunlop Industrial Africa, have been distributed and installed with all relevant programmes to nine identified schools in the King Cetshwayo District of KZN. This empowering initiative was undertaken by TPT to provide the previously disadvantaged learners attending the identified schools with the tools needed to succeed in today’s technologically dependent world.
Transnet worked closely with all five tribal authorities in the area to select the beneficiary schools which include Qhamuka High School, Somopho Primary School, Macekane Primary School, Mandlanzini Primary School, Maqwabe Primary School, Manzimpofu Primary School, Uyengo High School, Sbonokuhle High School and Zibone Primary School.
“We are proud to be part of an initiative that will undoubtedly ignite a passion for learning at these identified public schools. These computers are a much needed asset to the schools’ computer labs hence we have encouraged the students to take advantage of these new resources to excel in their studies. They will also acquire general computer skills which will undoubtedly put them in good stead for the future,” said Thandi Sabelo, TPT Executive Manager for Supply Chain Management.
“Dunlop Industrial Africa is one of the contractors for Transnet Port Terminals who provided the supply and delivery of conveyor belts at our terminals. Through a Supplier Development contractual agreement in place between TPT and the contractor, a percentage of the total contractual value goes towards community upliftment. As a direct result of Dunlop’s contractual agreement with us, we were able to partner with them to fulfil this particular CSI initiative. Transnet and its Operating Divisions are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of members of the community in which we operate, and this is the perfect demonstration of such commitment,” she said.
During the formal proceedings, Dunlop Industrial Africa’s Managing Director, Mbuso Thabethe, spoke highly of their interactions with Transnet including the Supplier Development programme and was so blown away by the impact these computers will have on the schools and community in the area, that amidst cheers and great applause he committed a further 50 desktops and 10 laptops from Dunlop to be contributed to the CSI initiative coordinated by TPT.
Mr David Chonco, Department of Education District Director, expressed his sincere gratitude by saying, “As a District, we are so very grateful to Transnet. This donation is not only one of much needed educational resources for our students and teachers, but it also gives us hope that the spirit of Ubuntu is alive and well in our community. Our sincerest thanks also to the Transnet Port Terminals team who visited us and selected our schools to receive these donated computers – we are truly honoured and proud and will ensure our students appreciate and capitalise on the immense opportunities that this will create for them.”
This particular handover follows on from a number of other supplier and business development initiatives carried out by Transnet Port Terminals.
Earlier on this year, TPT concluded a SMME Development programme in conjunction with Economic Development Tourism & Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) and the Coastal TVET College in Hammarsdale that provided a boost of more than R2 million to youth owned rural Co-operatives in KwaZulu-Natal. This was through the supply of barbed-wire and toilet paper manufacturing machines that enabled nine youth owned rural Co-operatives to thrive through the financial and business support provided.
A number of other SMME focused programmes have been rolled out by TPT across the country in 2017 in an effort to support local communities and contribute to the economic growth of the various regions’ and country’s economy.
