PEACE AND STABILITY IN INDIAN OCEAN IS PRIORITY FOR INDIA’S FOREIGN POLICY
Nurturing a climate of peace and stability in this region is an important priority for India’s foreign policy.
That is the message given by India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj speaking on Monday.
His remarks should be seen in the context of China increasing its footprints in the Indian Ocean, which figures prominently in President Xi Jinping’s ambitious ‘One Belt, One Road’ initiative to build a new Silk Route.
India is opposed to the ‘One Belt, One Road’ initiative as it includes the China Pakistan-Economic Corridor (CPEC) which transverses through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
China has stepped up activities in the Indian Ocean where it is building ports and other infrastructure in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
“There can be no doubt that the Indian Ocean is at the centre of the emerging ‘Age of Asia’…This region is host to the world’s busiest waterways and three-quarters of that traffic are headed for destinations beyond our region,” Swaraj said while addressing the Third Indian Ocean Conference.
“As an important trade and energy waterway, carrying half the world’s container shipment, one-third of its bulk cargo traffic and two-thirds of oil shipments, the Indian Ocean clearly assumes importance well beyond its immediate shores and its littorals,” she said in Hanoi.
“Nurturing a climate of peace and stability in this region is, therefore, an important priority for our foreign policy,” Swaraj added.
Emphasising that India and Vietnam are connected not only by the common waters but also by a shared vision for peace and prosperity, she said, “Hanoi is, therefore, a particularly appropriate setting for us to discuss developments in the Indian Ocean and the Indo-Pacific region.”
The Indian Ocean, which borders Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia, is home to major sea lanes and choke points that are crucial to global trade. Nearly 40 percent of the world’s offshore petroleum is produced in the Indian Ocean, which also has rich mineral deposits and fisheries.
Swaraj said in an inter-dependent world characterized by enhanced economic and trade linkages, the importance of sustainable use of our ocean resources cannot be overstated.
“For us in India, the seas around us have nurtured our links of commerce and culture with our extended neighbourhood over millennia,” she said.
Swaraj said though there is diversity within the region, the challenges within it are “quite similar”.
“Our vision for the region is one of cooperation and collective action,” she said.
“We cannot tap the bounty of the Indian Ocean without ensuring maritime peace and stability. Economic prosperity and maritime security go hand-in-hand,” she said.
Swaraj said those who live in this region bear the primary responsibility for peace, stability, and prosperity in the Indian Ocean.
She further said India sees the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) as central to the regional maritime architecture.
Swaraj is in Vietnam on the first leg of her four-day two-nation tour which aims at deepening India’s strategic cooperation with Vietnam and Cambodia — the key countries in the ASEAN region. source: www.asianage.com

MOZAMBIQUE TO STOP IMPORTING SUGAR FROM NEXT YEAR
The Mozambican government says that as from 2019 the country expects to be in a position to stop importing refined sugar as it will have produced sufficient for the local demand.
Mozambique currently grows a lot of its sugar but imports the balance of its requirements mostly from South Africa and eSwatini (Swaziland).
This development is a result of the completion of…[restrict] a sugar refinery in Maputo province that will enable the country to produce is own requirements.
The Tongaat Hulett refinery is expected to produce around 80,000 tons of sugar per year.
Mozambique’s provincial director for Industry and Commerce, Ernesto Mafumo, told Mozambican daily newspaper O País that the sugar industry is gaining a “new impetus,” especially in Maputo province, which could briefly increase the number of factories, from two to three industrial units.
Mafumo also said that the Maputo sugar industry has an installed capacity of approximately 3 million tons of cane per year, enabling it to produce more than 300,000 tons of sugar.
Investments made in the last five years in the relaunch of Mozambique’s sugar industry, valued at around US$800 million, have raised production in the sector, from 90,000 to 450,000 tons per year.
In addition to its own requirements, Mozambique acts as a conduit for the export of sugar produced in eSwatini and in Zimbabwe, through its sugar export facility at the port of Maputo[/restrict]

30,000 TONS OF EXPORT COCOA TRAPPED BY GRIDLOCK ROADS OUTSIDE LAGOS PORTS
Delivery can take 3 – 4 weeks
Approximately 30,000 tons of cocoa is trapped in containers and lorries outside the Apapa and Tin Can ports of Lagos in Nigeria, due to the chronic road congestion outside the ports.
President of the Cocoa Exporters Association of Nigeria, Pius Ayodele said that the cargo is either…[restrict] stuck in traffic or in transit warehouses in Lagos.
Whereas it used to take just hours to transport the cocoa from the warehouses to the ports, it now takes up to four weeks, he claimed.
The roads are in a poor condition after years of poor maintenance and are now full of large pot-holes and are waterlogged in places, he said.
Arising from the time spent trying to complete journeys into and out from the ports, haulage charges have risen by as much as 400 per cent, according to Muda Yusuf, director general of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce & Industry and quoted in local media.
He said this will either erode the profits of producers or be passed on to buyers. It will also affect Nigeria’s standing as an exporter of cocoa.
Nigeria’s cocoa output in 2017-18 was estimated at 240,000 tons, leaving the country is joint fifth place as a producer of the product together with neighbouring Cameroon.
Cocoa is of course not the only commodity affected by the crisis, which the city authorities backed by the Federal Government appear unable to resolve. The combined container terminals in the ports of Apapa and Tin Can Island constitute the second largest container handling port in sub-Saharan Africa, with a combined total throughput of over 1.5 million TEU well ahead of Mombasa which has a throughput of slightly more than one million TEU.
Durban ranks higher with a throughput of close to 2.7 million TEU in 2017 and experiences periodic road congestion but nothing on the scale of Lagos.[/restrict]

RAILROAD TO NEW PORT AT MACUSE NOW A PRIORITY FOR 2019
The Mozambican Ministry of Transport and Communication (MTC) has announced that the construction of the Chitima-Macuse Railway between the provinces of Tete and Zambézia will be made feasible.
That’s according to deputy minister of Transport and Communications of Mozambique, Manuela Rebelo, quoted in the daily newspaper O País.
Rebelo said that government wanted the Chitima – Macuse Railway between the provinces of Tete and Zambézia to go ahead in 2019.
“Rehabilitating the Machipanda and Ressano Garcia railways, starting the construction of the…[restrict] Tete-Macuse railway and its port … making Nacala international airport feasible are some of the actions planned for 2019,” he disclosed.
In 2013 a concession for the construction, operation and other operations of the port at Macuse 35 kilometres north of Quelimane, capital of the central province of Zambézia, was awarded to Italthai Engineering of Thailand (which owns 60% of Thai Mozambique Logistics). The concession contract included construction and operation of a new railway from Chitima via Moatize to the coast at Macuse.
The latter railway will have a length of 620 kilometres connecting the new port with mines at Moatize and at Chitima. The contract is budgeted at US$ 2 billion.
The purpose of the line and port is to enable the loading of Capesize vessels direct from a jetty at Macuse, as opposed to railing the coal along the Sena Railway to the port of Beira, where there are draught limitations preventing Capesize ships from docking at the port’s coal terminal. Instead coal has to be transhipped to the large vessels outside the port.
The Macuse deep water port will have capacity to receive large ships that will mainly transport coal and serve Mozambique’s neighbouring countries that have no direct access to the sea.
The total cost of the work amounts to about US$2.4 billion and has been awarded to a consortium involving construction company China Machinery Engineering and Portugal’s Mota-Engil. The project is expected to be completed in 2021.[/restrict]

TRANSNET NPA OUTLINES PLANS FOR PORT OF MOSSEL BAY
Jetty for cruise ships to dock is planned
Transnet National Ports Authority last week hosted a two-day stakeholder engagement roadshow in Mossel Bay to explore how the Port of Mossel Bay can better serve the Garden Route region.
Various sessions on 21 and 22 August saw the TNPA leadership team engaging with customers, government representatives, business sector representatives, captains of industry and the media, to provide an update on strategic developments planned for South Africa’s smallest commercial port.
Chief Executive of TNPA, Shulami Qalinge, outlined TNPA’s plans for a multi-million rand transformation of the harbour that would include a mixed use waterfront development, a dock for cruise line passengers to disembark and various other business opportunities.
“We are pleased to be moving forward with the Mossel Bay Waterfront to make the Port of Mossel Bay an even bigger attraction on this beautiful coastline, with a mixed-use waterfront that could include retail, commercial and industrial facilities,” said Qalinge.
She added: “A bit further down the track, we have in our sights a facility that will enable cruise passengers to disembark directly onto the quayside, instead of arriving by ferry. This is in response to calls from the Municipality and the local business community. Such a development would help to ensure that the port provides a world-class experience for the tourists who arrive by cruise ship in the Garden Route.”
As part of TNPA’s role as an implementing agent of the South African government’s Operation Phakisa: Oceans Economy programme, a slipway upgrade is in the pipeline for the port to support the local fishing industry and other industries.
However broader consultation needs to be effected in order to establish how best the project and facility could assist the Mossel Bay community. TNPA has also partnered with Petro SA through its PetroSA Centre of Excellence to train 14 learners from disadvantaged communities in the Eden District Municipality as Welders, Turners, Fitters and Boilermakers in order to meet the skills development objectives of the Operation Phakisa initiative.
Other speakers at TNPA’s business breakfast on 22 August included Paul Hoffman, Director of the South Cape Economic Partnership (SCEP), who provided an economic overview of the Garden Route and its business climate.
Remarks were also shared by Municipal Manager of Eden District Municipality, Monde Stratu, and Executive Mayor of the Mossel Bay Municipality, Alderman Harry Levendal.
TNPA’s roadshow included separate closed sessions with the Executive Mayor of Mossel Bay Municipality on the waterfront development, as well as with one of the port’s most important stakeholders, Petro SA, to discuss their strategy, future plans and joint training initiatives.

UK PRIME MINISTER THERESA MAY HANDS OVER SS MENDI SHIP’S BELL
In a brief ceremony yesterday UK’s Prime Minister Theresa May, who is on an official visit to South Africa, handed over the ship’s bell from the SS Mendi, the troopship which…[restrict] sank in an accident in 1917 carrying over a contingent of the South African Native Labour Corps, of which over 600 perished in the incident.
The handing over took place in Cape Town shortly before bilateral talks were held between South Africa and the UK.
The large ship’s bell was received by South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa. It will be mounted with the Cape Town memorial to the SS Mendi and the men who died when she sank.
Mrs May said later during a briefing to journalists: “I was honoured today to hand over to you and to the people of South Africa the ship’s bell from the SS Mendi and to commemorate the troops who lost their lives when the ship sank in the English channel over a century ago,” adding that Britain will be forever grateful for their sacrifice.
In response, the President said: “Please accept our gratitude and appreciation for this gesture, which honours the memory and the sacrifices of all those who perished so far away from their homes and loved ones.”[/restrict]

PRINCESS JENNIFER SAILS FROM DURBAN FOR KOKO AFTER STORM DAMAGE REPAIRS
One of the two offshore support/patrol type vessels that put into Durban a month ago for repairs after encountering bad weather and heavy seas on the voyage from Singapore, has left Durban and is now on her way to Koko in Nigeria.
PRINCESS JENNIFER (IMO 9764295) completed her repairs and has sailed alone, leaving the…[restrict] second sister vessel, PRINCESS JOHANNA (IMO 9764283) remaining on her berth at Southern African Shipyards in Durban.
The two vessels ran into bad weather in mid-ocean on their crossing from Singapore to Mombasa, and again off Richards Bay after they passed into South African waters. With cracks having appeared in several areas both craft entered Durban at the end of July to undergo repairs.
One of the crew described the waves off the Zululand coast as being over 10 metres and coming from all sides, smashing into the vessels to make for a very unpleasant journey. “It was bad out in the mid Indian Ocean when we ran into a storm but this was worse, much worse,” he said.
The vessels are Flex Fighter crew boats from the Penguin Shipyard in Singapore. They are fitted with an all-round wheelhouse ballistic protection (windows and panels), seating for a large number of passengers, a 110-sq metre cargo deck and an external firefighting monitor and in Ghana will perform the duties of crew boat and if necessary multi-role security boat.

Now that the IMO’s Ballast Water Management Convention has entered into force, more shipowners than ever are actively looking at the installation of ballast water treatment systems in their vessels.
Gibraltar-based Gibdock has the skills and capabilities and favourable geographic location needed to…[restrict] undertake such work efficiently, with minimum vessel downtime periods, during routine drydockings. Consequently, the yard has actively geared up to meet increased demand for high quality ballast water treatment system retrofits and is in active discussions with several potential clients.
Underlining its capabilities in this field, Gibdock has just completed a complex ballast water treatment system retrofit onboard the 179-metre, 34,500-dwt bulk carrier ZAMBESI (seen above).
The 2013-built, DNV GL-classed vessel, owned by Hamburg-based John T Essberger, arrived in Gibraltar on 4 June for a month long programme of works. The vessel departed the yard on 5 July with its new ballast water treatment installed and ready for commissioning, having spent 16 days in Gibdock’s No. 1 Drydock, and the remainder of the time alongside.
Gibdock technicians carried out all the necessary pipework and preparations onboard, before assembling and installing the owner-supplied UV-type ballast water treatment system. The yard worked closely on this project with Aries Marine, a UAE-based specialist in ballast water treatment retrofit engineering, which supervised this element of the drydocking schedule.
Shiprepair manager, Juan Piñero, commented: “This was a complex retrofit, and our engineering staff and pipefitting team rose to the challenge magnificently and completed the works to the client’s complete satisfaction. With this project we have gained further valuable experience in ballast water treatment retrofits, which will hold us in good stead for the future, as a growing number of owners look to carry out this type of work to meet IMO requirements.”
Alongside the ballast water treatment retrofit, Gibdock carried out a wide range of repair and maintenance items on Zambesi. This included a total of 2500m2 of blasting and painting on the vessel’s topside and underwater hull areas. The yard also carried out some cargo hold treatments that involved spot blasting in way of the coamings and upper hoppers.
Mechanical works carried out on Zambesi included the removal and refitting of the vessel’s propeller, bonding of seals and the removal of the tailshaft and intermediate shaft. Piñero added: “This was a very demanding operation as it involved working in a very narrow space. Through careful preparation and planning, our engineers were able to carry out the necessary works successfully within the timescale required.”
Other elements of the work included overhauling the ship’s main engines; ultrasound cleaning of the air coolers; removal of the windlass for maintenance in the workshop; overhauling the mooring winch and sea valves; and carrying out steel repairs in the ballast water tank area.
The John T Essberger Dry Cargo Division operates a fleet that includes self-trimming bulk carriers as well as both geared and gearless container vessels.
Gibdock has in recent years achieved considerable success in securing shiprepair work from German ship owners, and the Zambesi contract continues that strong track record.[/restrict]

DRIVE NEW WAYS – VOITH AT THE SMM 2018 (HAMBURG)
VSP, VIT and VLJ as the innovative basis for individual and sustainable drive solutions
Customised development of service packages and greater efficiency through retrofit measures
Voith at the SMM 2018 in Hamburg at booth 203 in hall A4 with daily expert forum
Hamburg/Heidenheim: Voith will be showcasing its drive concepts at the SMM 2018 in Hamburg from 4 to 7 September 2018. At the Voith booth 203 in hall A4, visitors can find out about the Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP), the Voith Inline Thruster (VIT) or the Voith Linear Jet (VLJ). Voith will also be presenting its electronic control system with the interactive iVSP 2.1 application as well as new service concepts for all its drive systems.
“Over the last decades, our propulsion systems have proven effective particularly in very challenging environments. In almost all situations, consistently reliable and precise manoeuvring is possible. Nevertheless, we are continuing to improve and refine our propulsion systems to be able to offer our customers maximum efficiency and sustainability. At the same time, customized servicing concepts and preventive maintenance are becoming increasingly important to our customers. Our new service concepts enable our propulsion systems to be used even more economically over their entire life cycle,” says Andreas Amelang, Senior Vice President Marine Business, referring to the highlights of this year’s Voith exhibit at the SMM.
The VSP: A proven solution for innovative vessel concepts
Efficiency, reliability and safety are the hallmarks of the VSP, which combines propulsion and steering in one unit. Visitors to the SMM will also have the opportunity to experience the latest version of the interactive iVSP 2.1 application and test various VSP-driven vessels under realistic conditions.
The Voith booth will also feature a unique ship’s model driven by the VSP: the innovative CARROUSEL RAVE TUG (CRT). Two of these CRTs, Multratug 32 and 33 operated by Dutch towing and salvage specialists Multraship B.V., recently went into service. Voith has developed this new kind of tugboat in collaboration with R. Allan Ltd. (RAL) and Novatug B.V.
Typical of the CRT is the towing winch arranged on a steel ring that can rotate freely around the tug’s deck house – the actual carrousel towing system. The special design of this system eliminates the risk of capsizing under tow load, allowing the safe use of the hull for creating lift to get force on the tow line. It also means that a slender hull design is safely possible.
This slim, highly efficient hull form is subsequently achieved by two Voith Schneider Propellers (VSPs) arranged along the longitudinal axis. The CRT thus maximises the safety and efficiency of towing operations whilst at the same time significantly reducing emissions. The two tugs Multratug 32 and 33 are the large version of the CRT, with an LOA of 32 metres. The partners Voith, R. Allan and Novatug intend to come up with a full line-up of the CRT in various sizes and are currently already working on the medium version of the CRT that will have an LOA of 28 metres.
Voith Linear Jet (VLJ) and Voith Inline Thruster (VIT): The ideal propulsion systems for yachts
The VLJ stands out for its consistently high efficiency at high and low speeds. The characteristic features of its design are compactness, low-noise and ease of maintenance. It also offers a reduced draft that makes it especially attractive as main drive for yachts.
The VIT operates without shaft and gears and has a RIM-driven propeller powered by a permanent-magnetic electric motor. This minimises vibrations and noise while at the same time making the drive very powerful and responsive, offering a manoeuvring system that is absolutely ideal for use in yachts, as numerous satisfied customers worldwide confirm.
Thanks to preventive maintenance as part of a scheduled overhaul, the Voith Service Team is reducing the risk of a tug failure.
Individual service packages and integrated concepts
To avoid costly vessel propulsion system downtimes, Voith offers its customers a wide range of tailored service solutions for its VSP, VIT and VLJ propulsion systems. Every service plan that Voith develops in collaboration with the customer is tailored precisely to the respective application.
VIT offers a good example of the benefits this offers: RIM drives from market leader Voith are used in a wide range of vessels, for example in an OSV like the Kroonborg, which supplies offshore platforms and wind farms in the rough waters of the North Sea, and can be precisely positioned thanks to the VSP and VIT propulsion concept. Experts from Voith work closely with vessel owners worldwide on an ongoing basis to develop customized concepts for servicing and maintenance to avoid unscheduled downtimes and additional costs.
Daily expert forum with Dr Dirk Juergens
This year, the Voith booth will once again feature daily forums, panel discussions, product presentations and best practice examples. Dr Dirk Juergens, Head of Research & Development Marine Business, will join with vessel operators and acknowledged experts from the shipbuilding industry to discuss the current requirements for maritime propulsion systems as well as efficient and environmentally friendly concepts. The presentations followed by discussion sessions will take place from Tuesday through Thursday at 2:30 PM and on Friday at 11:00 AM at booth 203 in hall A4.
