CII is approaching fast. From 1 January 2023, ships of 5000 GT and above must calculate their “required annual operational CII” which is the target value of attained operational CII equivalent to the mid point of the rating “C”. In this 15+15 webinar, BIMCO’s Deputy Secretary General, Lars Robert Pedersen, explained the situation,
In recent years, employing Security Escort Vessels has become increasingly the norm for shipping operations in waters off Nigeria. In this 15+15 webinar, BIMCO’s Head of Maritime Safety & Security, Jakob P. Larsen, discusses the Nigerian concept for Security Escort Vessels in more detail.
The commercial implication following the implementation of CII ratings Asymmetric impact across the competitive landscape Tonnage providers will find it most difficult to navigate A consolidation push is about to emerge Digital maturity are likely to create barriers to entry for players operating their vessels
On 21 October 2015, BIMCO held a one-hour long webinar session on the IMSBC Code, highlighting two very relevant issues for members; i.e. on “How to carry bulk cargoes safely – a shared risk?” and “ What is it – identifying cargo hazards under the IMSBC Code”.
On 5th December 2019, BIMCO held a one-hour long webinar session on the IMSBC Code, highlighting the difficulties that shipowners encounter when they are transporting solid bulk cargoes, together with some BIMCO recommendations put forward that could help improve the situation.
Marie Münster, Professor of Management Engineering at DTU (Technical University of Denmark), presented the main findings of the MarE-Fuel project, where a number of scenarios were analysed. She also looks ahead to upcoming research.
Jon Lorentzen Nordgard from Massterly will be talking about autonomous vessels. In addition to reducing costs, autonomy can become an important piece in the energy transformation from fossil to renewable propulsion systems in shipping. Several autonomous vessels are now in the testing phase to achieve unmanned commercial operations. Massterly will share with you their thoughts on how autonomy will impact the shipping industry.
Viktor Avlonitis, from Hempel Marine Solutions talked about biofouling monitoring, hull inspections and hull cleaning. Good practices on inspections and cleaning interventions have considerable implications for both hull performance and for the environment.
Working always in the same spaces, isolated from the rest of the world, being in contact with the same people, exposed to noise and smell, sleep deprivation, fatigue and constantly changing environment can cause a psychological deterioration that may lead to chronic disorders and even severe pathologies. When well taken care, the mental well-being of the crew members on-board translates into better team work and overall increase in the efficacy and productivity of the crew members on -board
Lifeboats are supposed to save lives, and indeed they do. But lifeboats have also turned out to constitute quite a work hazard, and each year lifeboat drills cause injuries to seafarers and occasionally even seafarer deaths.
