We are proud to share that POSH, with strong support from Ocean Challenger, has completed one of the industry’s
largest #maintenance projects involving the overhaul of six TH5000ML 3800KW thrusters onboard the cutting-edge DP3
semi-submersible crane vessel CIMC GRETHA in Curacao, despite challenges brought about by the #COVID19
pandemic.
The project faced unprecedented circumstances such as movement restrictions, but support from our POSH crew and
joint efforts of a dynamic and multi-cultural team comprising divers, engineers, and technicians from CIMC Raffles,
Subsea Global Solutions Caribbean N.V., and Stone Marine UK, allowed us to overcome all odds and complete the massive
project on schedule with no safety incidents.
The rejuvenated CIMC GRETHA is now available to provide diversified service offerings including offshore
accommodation capabilities as well as decommissioning and heavy construction activities. Equipped with DP3 dynamic
positioning system and a clear deck space of 2000m2, CIMC GRETHA has two 1,800-tonne Offshore Mast Cranes
offering heavy lift capacity and offshore accommodation facilities configured for up to 618 persons onboard.

Damen delivers five zero emissions propulsion

ferries to Arriva in Copenhagen
Damen Shipyards Group has delivered five Damen Ferries 2306 E3 to Arriva Denmark in Copenhagen. Arriva is
operating the vessels on behalf of Danish public transport agency Movia. The vessels are based on Damen’s E3 philosophy
– environmentally friendly, efficient in operation and economically viable.
Towards a zero emissions future
When Movia issued the public tender for waterborne public transport in Copenhagen, its aim was to upgrade the service,
making it cleaner and more sustainable. In this the agency was aligned with both Arriva, which embraces innovation in
order to reduce environmental impact, and Damen, whose aim it is to become the world’s most sustainable shipbuilder.

The ferries make significant strides towards a zero emission service, reducing Copenhagen’s public transport NOX
emissions by 2.5%, CO2emissions by 10% and particulate emissions by 66%.
Resistance is futile: shaping efficiency
The vessel’s sustainable credentials are powered by a series of innovative, digital shipbuilding techniques. Computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) were applied to the hull design, minimising resistance in the water, while cutting-edge software
measured the relationship between engine torque and propeller speed. This resulted in the optimal use of battery packs
for reduced weight, energy consumption and – ultimately – costs of operation.
The potential of connectivity
The ferries are prepared for remote monitoring. Informed by a network of sensors incorporated into the vessel, Damen’s
remote monitoring department is able to set up a dashboard tracking such things as sailing patterns, battery lifecycle and
swell dynamics. This allows fine-tuning of the operation towards greater efficiency and reduced downtime for
maintenance.
Full service provision

For this project Damen has undertaken its role as integrator, or complete solution provider. This has involved, for example
investigating shore solutions for electricity supply – in alignment with Movia’s requirement that 60% of the electricity for
the operation comes from a sustainable source.
Martin Verstraaten, Damen sales manager, says, “This, in my opinion, is where Damen really add value to a project. Our
involvement is not limited to the shipbuilding scope alone, we take responsibility for the entirety of the project. We
provide a focal point where all partners involved the project come together to fulfil their individual roles in alignment with
one another. With this, the project benefits from cohesive,centralised direction for maximum efficiency.”
Working closely together with Echandia Marine, Heliox and Staubli, Damen developed a solution that takes just seven
minutes to charge the ferries at the end of each trip they make. The charging solution features an innovative auto-
mooring system to ensure a secure connection between the vessel and charging infrastructure.
Transforming the current
Having recently unveiled the Electric Cutter Suction Dredger 650, Damen continues to work on a number of hybrid and
electric projects. These include two fully electric ferries for Ontario, Canada, four (having delivered two to date) hybrid
vessels, easily convertible to full electric propulsion in the future for BC Ferries in British Columbia, Canada and the
world’s first fully electric harbour tug with 70 tonnes bollard pull for the port of Auckland, New Zealand.
China to make good threat to ban all solid waste imports in 2021
CHINA, ending off years of tightening curbs, will ban all imports of solid waste from next year after spending decades as
the world's largest processor of recyclables, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has announced.
The move is "a landmark decision in the construction of China's ecological civilisation," ministry spokesman Liu Youbin
said, reports Caixin. From 2021, the country will stop accepting and approving solid waste import applications from
overseas, he said. China began importing large quantities of plastics, paper, metals, textiles and other waste in the 1980s
to plug shortages of raw materials. But environmental pollution and an unwanted reputation as a global dumping ground
prompted the government to clamp down on the practice. The policy, known as "National Sword," fueled a more than 99

per cent year-on-year decline in scrap plastic imports between 2017 and 2018, according to government statistics.

PSA and DP World in line for major port projects

in Chittagong
TWO global port operators - Singapore's PSA and Saudi Arabia's Red Sea Gateway Terminal (RSGT) - have been
shortlisted to build Bay Terminal, a 12-metre draught facility near Chittagong port. At the same time, RSGT and DP World
are on the priority list for operating the under-construction Patenga Container Terminal, which will raise Chittagong port's
container handling capacity significantly.The Bangladeshi government is keen to enhance goods capacity of the country's
prime seaport, which frequently faces acute congestion. "We are in talks with these foreign companies. An agreement will
be signed after the negotiation is completed," a senior shipping ministry official said.Bay Terminal will be built nearly 10
miles north of the estuary and will comprise one 1,500-metre multipurpose terminal, one 1,225-metre container terminal
and two 830-metre container terminals. It will have 13 jetties and accommodate vessels of up to the 280 metres long.
The construction cost is estimated at US$2.5 billion. Currently, vessels with a 9.5-metre draught can dock at Chittagong
during high tide - Bay Terminal's location nearer the sea will allow vessels to be able to berth independent of tides.
Sources say the government's Public-Private Partnership Authority is in talks with PSA Singapore on technical, financial,
and legal issues. The Singaporean company may be involved in capital dredging, building a breakwater in the bay and
building container terminals, except the multipurpose facility.Several other companies, from China, India, Korea, and the
Middle East, have expressed interest in investing in Bay Terminal construction, but until now PSA Singapore and RSGT are
in pole position, confirmed an official, reports London's Loadstar. Meanwhile, the government has engaged the
engineering corps of the Bangladesh Army for construction of the Patenga Container Terminal, a 600-metre long facility
with a back-up area of 26 acres and three berths with 9.5 metres of depth alongside. The $235 million terminal be able to
handle 360,000 TEU annually.With RSGT and DP World on the priority list, if successful, they would be the first foreign
companies to operate ports and terminals in Bangladesh. Chittagong has a designed handling capacity of 1.7 million TEU,
but last year handled 3.1 million TEU. Source: Schednet

The Dutch flag ranks 1st of EU flags and 4th

overall in newly issued White list
On 1 July 2020, the Paris MoU Committee issued their new performance list for flag states. The Dutch flag gained two
positions on the newly issued White list and now holds the top position of all EU flags. The position on the list determines
the ship’s risk profile and show its performance in meeting safety standards, pollution prevention and seafarer’s working
conditions.For ship owners flying the Dutch flag it is good news that the ship register ranks in the top 5 of the White list,
which represents quality flags with a consistent low detention record. Of all EU flags the Netherlands holds the top
position. This underlines the high-quality and reliability of the Dutch register. A ship owner who is flying the flag of the
Netherlands enjoys the best reputation in meeting highest environmental, social and safety standards. This assures a
warm welcome in ports around the world and uninterrupted operational performance. According to Martijn Nieuwenhuijs,
Chief Executive of Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore in the Netherlands: “Ship owners take pride in their role and realize
that investing in quality pays off in the long run. A favorable ranking means less Port State inspections disturbing the
trading pattern“.

Regarding the White, Grey and Black list for 2019, a total number of 70 flags are listed: 41 on the White list, 16 on the
Grey list and 13 on the Black list. Annually more than 17.000 inspections take place on board foreign ships in the Paris
MoU ports. The basic principle of Paris MoU is that the prime responsibility for compliance with the requirements laid
down in the international maritime conventions lies with the shipowner/operator. Responsibility for ensuring such
compliance remains with the flag state.

Maersk has continued its expansion into supply chain management services, agreeing to acquire Swedish customs
specialist KGH Customs Services for Skr2.6bn (US$279m) from its private equity owner, Bridgepoint Development Capital.

The deal “corresponds with Maersk’s digital transformation journey”, it said, and appears to be the European equivalent of
last year’s acquisition of US customs brokerage Vandegrift. “There are no end-to-end solutions without customs
clearance,” said Vincent Clerc, Ocean & Logistics CEO at Maersk. “With KGH, we will not only be able to strengthen our
capabilities within customs services and related consultancy, but also reach more of our customers in Europe through a
larger geographical footprint and digital solutions that will enhance our ability to meet our customers´ end-to-end supply
chain needs. “We achieve all this in one go, instead of having to build our expertise through multiple acquisitions,” he
added.The price tag is “equivalent to a multiple of 16.3 x 2019 ebitda before synergies, excluding an earn-out component
contingent on future Brexit performance”, and Maersk also noted that, “when ramped up, annual ebitda synergies from
the combination are expected to amount to approximately Skr50m-75m ($5.4m-$8m). The Gothenburg-based company
last year posted revenue of $95.5m and an ebitda of $17.2m, with an ebitda margin of 18%. It has 775 employees and
annually clears nearly two million customs applications in sea, air and land modes. In recent years KGH has developed a
strong line in consulting, “most recently in the connection with Brexit as advisors to various authorities in the EU and the
UK”. CEO Lars Börjesson added: “With Maersk, we will have a long-term home with a company that shares our values. By
joining forces, we will be able to continue to build on the great success our teams have achieved and, at the same time,
play a key role in a combined entity providing a range of different services within the transport and logistics industry.”The
acquisition is subject to customary regulatory approvals, and Maersk added: “Until then, Maersk and KGH remain two
separate companies and thus will carry on their business as usual.” Bridgepoint acquired KGH in 2013. Source : the

Denmark gives Nord Stream 2 nod to restart pipeline

work
Denmark on Monday gave Nord Stream 2 permission to use pipe-laying vessels with anchors to complete the final stretch
of the gas pipeline in Danish waters, removing a key obstacle for the much-delayed project designed to bring more
Russian natural gas to Europe.Nord Stream 2 has faced political opposition from Washington, as well as from Ukraine and
Poland - so-called transit countries for the pipeline on its route to consumers in western Europe.The Trump administration
opposes the project on the grounds it would strengthen Russia’s economic grip over Europe.Construction of the 1,230-
kilometer pipeline is nearly finished but it needs to complete a final stretch of roughly 120-kilometres in Danish
waters.The project was halted in December as pipe-laying company Swiss-Dutch Allseas suspended operations due to
U.S. sanctions targeting companies providing vessels laying Nord Stream 2 pipes. The Danish Energy Agency said on
Monday it would allow the Gazprom-led project to use pipe-laying vessels with anchors instead of the more advanced
vessels using Nord Stream 2 had send a request to Denmark in early June. A Nord Stream 2 spokeswoman told Reuters
the consortium welcomed the decision but said it had yet to announce which vessel it will use or when it expects to
project to be finalised. The pipe-laying ship AKADEMIK CHERSKIY, which Moscow could use, is moored near
Germany’s Mukran port in the Baltic, the staging area for the pipeline’s construction, Refinitiv Eikon data showed. Source

Kloosterboer starts construction of Cool Port II

at City Terminal Rotterdam
In mid-July, Kloosterboer will begin the construction of a new state-of-the-art fully automated multi-customer high-rise
cold-storage facility with a storage capacity of 60,000 pallets at City Terminal Rotterdam. The building is expected to be
finished by January of 2022. Two years after the realisation of Kloosterboer Cool Port I, an ultra-modern fruit terminal

that offers a combination of cool and cold storage capacity, Kloosterboer is now developing a state-of-the-art fully
automated high-rise cold-storage warehouse at City Terminal Rotterdam. Pallets will be brought in on self-unloading or
conventional trucks and are then automatically taken from the shipping hall via conveyer belts, turntables and sluices to
the cold-storage facility, where cranes will automatically place the pallets in their designed position.
Sustainability is a key concern for Kloosterboer. The high-rise cold-storage warehouse is 35-45% more energy efficient
than a conventional cold-storage facility. The forty-metre-tall building will be constructed in accordance with the high
BREEAM requirements. Kloosterboer intends to install approximately 2,700 solar panels on the building's roof. Together
with the existing solar panel installation at Cool Port I, which consists of 11,000 solar panels, this makes Kloosterboer one
of the leading companies in the port of Rotterdam when it comes to generating solar power for in-house use.
Launching customer is Lamb Weston / Meijer, one of the biggest producers of frozen potato products. The company has
selected Kloosterboer as its logistics service provider to handle export products via the port of Rotterdam. In the future,
the products made by Lamb Weston / Meijer will be delivered to Cool Port II, among other places, from the company's
various production facilities throughout the Netherlands. From there, they will be loaded into containers, which are then
transported by barge to the container terminals on the Maasvlakte-Rotterdam for further export.The Kloosterboer Group is
a family-owned company with 95 years of experience in the handling of temperature controlled food products, such as
fish, meat, fruit, fruit juices /-concentrates, dairy and potato products. Kloosterboer develops and provides innovative and
sustainable solutions in the supply chain for conditioned food products. Kloosterboer is committed to long-term
relationships and wants to make cost savings for its customers and increase the level of service. The company is
specialised in warehousing, stevedoring, forwarding, shipping, customs and logistics IT. With over 4,8 million m3 storage
capacity spread across 15 locations worldwide and more than 900 employees, Kloosterboer is one of the leading
companies in this sector. Kloosterboer is an entrepreneurial, innovative and sustainable logistics service provider. The
construction of Cool Port II still leaves Kloosterboer with ample space for the next phase; Cool Port III. With an annual
agrifood throughput of over 19 million tonnes, Rotterdam ranks as Europe’s largest port in this segment. Both import and
export flows are expected to increase further over the next few years. The Port of Rotterdam Authority will facilitate this
growth by offering new and existing companies in this segment ample room for the quick, safe and reliable storage and
handling of agricultural food products. The development of Cool Port II – which will combine a capacity of 60,000 pallets
for frozen cargo with an intermodal connection with Maasvlakte – will further strengthen Rotterdam’s position as an
agrifood port. Source : portnews

Hundreds evacuated after oil spill in central

Philippines
More than 400 people have been evacuated from a coastal village in the central Philippines after about 250,000 liters
(66,000 gallons) of bunker fuel spilled from a power-generating barge into the sea. The spill began Friday when an

accidental explosion on the barge blasted a hole in its hull. There were no reported injuries. Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Trenas
says the accident has not affected the power supply to the commercial city of about half a million people because it has
other power sources. The coast guard is investigating.source : wsiltv

Saipem bags $325 million through new pre-salt

job with Petrobras
by Nermina Kulovic
Oilfield services provider Saipem has been awarded a contract by Petrobras for the installation of a rigid riser-based
subsea system to serve the Búzios pre-salt project offshore Brazil. The contract is worth approximately $325 million,
Saipem said on Monday. The installation will be done in water depths from 1537 to 2190 meters, offshore the state of Rio
de Janeiro. The Búzios-5 overall production system foresees the interconnection of 15 wells to the FPSO in two phases.
The project awarded to Saipem includes the engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) of the steel
lazy wave risers (SLWR) and associated flowlines between all wells and the FPSO. In particular, the scope of work
includes five production and five injection risers and flowlines for a total length of 59 km, a 16 km-long gas export line to

be connected to an existing pipeline, 11 rigid jumpers and 21 foundation subsea structures (risers and PLETs). Saipem
said it will use the FDS, its field development vessel, for all the subsea works. Francesco Racheli, Chief Operating Officer
of Saipem’s E&C Offshore Division, said: “Búzios is one of the world’s largest deepwater oil fields and it is very important
for Saipem to contribute to such a significant project for Brazil, a country in which we have a long-established presence
and track record of successfully-executed projects”. Source: offshore-energy

Aker Solutions 1st subsea tree delivery for Petrobras’ FA 2011 60 XMT project
Norway’s Aker Solutions has delivered the last of 60 sets of subsea trees for pre-salt exploration for Petrobras. This marks
the conclusion of the company’s biggest project in Brazil.
Aker Solutions landed a deal with Petrobras to provide subsea equipment for deepwater pre-salt field developments in
Brazil in March 2013. The contract value was approximately NOK 4.6 billion (USD 800 million). The so-called FA 2011
project saw Aker Solutions deliver the first of sixty subsea trees for Petrobras in July 2015. “FA 2011 was a project of
great milestones, since the first delivery ahead of schedule to the very end by manufacturing with reduced manpower
capacity due to the pandemic,” Aker Solutions said.This deal led to Aker Solutions’ further investment and expansion in
Brazil. The company established a new subsea factory in Curitiba in Parana state, 800 kilometres south of Rio de
Janeiro.This technology centre replaced the current plant and officially opened in April 2016, employing about 850 people.

Yang Ming Transport Corp achieves IMO 2030

target 11 years ahead of schedule
Taiwanese ocean shipping company Yang Ming Transport Corp. on Thursday (2 July) said it has fulfilled its goal of
building an eco-friendly fleet and reducing vessel emissions set out a decade ago. In 2019, Yang Ming said its fleet’s
average carbon intensity (CO2 emissions per transport work) per Teu/Km was reduced by 51% compared to 2008, from
99.4 g/teu-km to 48.1 g/teu-km, accomplishing the IMO’s target of reducing carbon intensity by at least 40% by 2030,
eleven years ahead of schedule. To achieve its environmental targets, Yang Ming said it formulated several long-term
strategies, including implementing 12 vessel modification and optimization projects, and accelerating the vessel renewal
plan by eliminating vessels over 20 years of age and adding ten 2,800 TEU class, twenty 14,000 TEU and fourteen 11,000
TEU class eco-friendly smart vessels.

In addition, Yang Ming noted it has cooperated with weather service provider Weathernews Inc. (WNI) to build a
monitoring system to manage fuel consumption and reduce GHG emission, and further evaluate the possibility of
developing dual-fuel engines such as LNG or other engines that can perform with carbon-neutral alternative fuels.
As for sulphur oxide emission, Yang Ming ensured an early transition to use low sulfur fuel oil at Kaohsiung port and
Shenzhen port since 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2019, Yang Ming reported its fleet had already switched to very-low
sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) with sulphur content lower than 0.5% and reduced sulphur oxide emission by 80% compared to
traditional heavy fuel oil. Yang Ming also actively participated in vessel speed reduction programs initiated by National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Taiwan International Ports Corporation, LTD to protect marine
ecology.Faced with the challenges of global warming, Yang Ming says it is committed to environmental protection and the
fight against climate change. Source : Manifold Times

Swedish Cruise Operator Birka Goes Out of

Business
Birka Cruises ges out of business while Silja layoff employees Birka Stockholm which had operated cruises from Stockholm
The Scandinavia passenger shipping industry became the latest segment to respond to the financial pressures created by
the coronavirus pandemic.
Birka Cruises, part of the Finish Eckero Group, announced that it will go out of business laying off as many as 500 people.
Founded in 1971 and operating as Sweden’s only cruise line, Birka in March had announced that operations would be
suspending till May, but was later forced to extend the suspension based on travel restrictions. Citing the financial impact
of COVID-19 along with the uncertainty about how travel will develop in the future, the company said it had instead
decided to permanently close the business. Built in 2004, the company’s one ship known as the Birka Stockholm had
operated daily cruises into the Stockholm archipelago or multi-day cruises around the Baltic. The company was best
known for the short cruises to Mariehamn in the Åland Islands. Its parent company, Rederiaktiebolaget Eckero founded in
1961 also operates passenger and car ferries in the region as well as cargo service between Finland, Sweden, and the
Baltic countries and a bus service. Eckero had acquired Bikra in 2007.

Separately, the Swedish ferry company Silja Line also announced that it would be reducing staff due to the ongoing
downturn in operations. Approximately 300 jobs will be cut mostly for employees working on the ferries sailing between
Finland and Sweden. Due to the travel restrictions, the company reported that only people who need to travel for work
are permitted aboard the ferries that also continue to transport cargo. Prior to the restrictions Silja had a strong tourist
trade attracting people with its duty-free stores and other amenities. Silja is owned by the AS Tallink Grupp. The company
recently reported that it had experienced a 72.5 percent decrease in passengers in June versus the year earlier. Cargo
was down by more than five percent while passenger vehicles transported were down nearly 40 percent in June. This
continued a similar trend the company experienced in the three months between April and June where much of its
passenger service across the Baltic was suspended due to travel restrictions.Silja said it would be reassigning some
vessels to alternate routes. It is not known if the Birka Stockholm could be deployed as a ferry or would be offered for
sale. Source : MAREX

Gothenburg to fire its new transhipment

terminal
The 360m long, 60m wide tent was erected at the Svea Terminal a couple of weeks ago. The terminal is due to become
operational in the autumn. Photo: Gothenburg Port Authority. A completely new transhipment terminal, located between
the Port of Gothenburg’s container and ro-ro terminals, is emerging, according to an announcement by the major Swedish
port. The facility, named the Svea Terminal, will receive incoming forest products by rail from Swedish mills and then
transfer the products to containers for onward transport to various parts of the world. Volumes equivalent to 60,000-
100,000TEU will be handled at the terminal each year.
Svea Terminal will offer 45,000m2 of storage space. Around half the area, 21,600m2, is covered by the world’s largest
storage tent, which was recently erected On the inside, the goods can be loaded into weather-protected containers and
the area will be used partly for intermediate storage, according to the Port of Gothenburg. The tent measures 360m by
60m and is up to 15m in height, while the steel beams that support the tent weigh 450tonnes.
“It’s not exactly a camping tent, but rather a fully equipped storage facility that meets all our demands and specifications,
and at the same time offers a cost-effective operating solution,” said Arvid Guthed, vice president port development,

Gothenburg Port Authority The terminal has rail connections and can handle a 350m train. “By doing so, sensitive
products such as pulp and paper rolls can be transported directly into the facility by rail, where under cover they are
transferred into a container before being loaded on board the ship,” said the port.
At present around 60% of the Port of Gothenburg container volumes arrive at or leave the port by rail. “This is the result
of the long-term investment in the Railport concept, which connects the whole of Sweden to the Port of Gothenburg by
rail,” stated Claes Sundmark, vice president, sales & Marketing, Gothenburg Port Authority.
Investments include the current expansion of the double-track Port Line and construction of the Arken Combi Terminal,
which has already led to a substantial reduction in road traffic in Gothenburg. A further investment is APM Terminals’
modernisation and capacity expansion on its marshalling line, where trains are loaded and unloaded inside the container
terminal.
The Port of Gothenburg has also adopted one of the world’s most forward-thinking climate goals where they have
undertaken to reduce the whole of the port’s carbon emissions by 70% through to 2030. One of the ways of achieving
this goal is to continue investing offensively in the Railport concept in an effort to increase the proportion of rail-borne
freight even further. “The Svea Terminal is ideally suited to realising this ambition,” added Sundmark. “The Terminal will
increase rail capacity even further and we will be able to double forest product volumes arriving at the port by rail. It also
means that we can reduce the port’s climate footprint and provide further conditions that will allow our customers to
make climate-smart choices.”Gothenburg Port Authority has selected crossdocking expert MIMAB to operate the new
terminal. “With our experience and the good preconditions at the terminal to facilitate effective crossdocking and
transhipment of overseas freight, the terminal will be a major asset for the port and the Swedish forest industry,”
commented Mikael Bergman, MIMAB chief executive. Source : Container News

HMS TALENT S 92 arriving in Devonport, HMS Talent is the sixth of seven Trafalgar-class nuclear submarines of the
Royal Navy, and was built at Barrow-in-Furness. TALENT was launched by The Princess Royal in April 1988 and
commissioned in May 1990. The boat is affiliated with Shrewsbury in Shropshire. TALENT is the third submarine of the
Royal Navy to bear the name. The first was the World War II TALENT, a T-class submarine transferred to the Royal

Netherlands Navy as RNLMS ZWAARDVISCH in 1943. TALENT moved her base from Devonport to Her Majesty's Naval
Base Clyde in July 2019. TALENT is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2021 and will be replaced by one of the new

BIW strike continues into third week with no

resolution
While the strike marches on, BIW announced it is hiring more temporary subcontractors to compensate for
4,300 machinists out of work.
BY KATHLEEN O'BRIENTIMES RECORD
The strike at Bath Iron Works is entering its third week, with no signs of an agreement between the shipyard and its
largest union Local S6, which represents 4,300 of the shipyard’s 6,700 employees, went on strike June 22 after rejecting
the 3-year contract proposal over disagreements about the company’s plans to continue hiring subcontractors and
proposed changes to worker seniority privileges. The union’s negotiating committee will meet with a federal mediator
Monday at noon, according to the group’s Facebook page. Union officials wrote they “believe the company has also
agreed to meet with the mediator separately,” but BIW spokesman David Hench declined to comment on the company’s
plans to meet with a mediator. In the meantime, BIW announced Thursday it is hiring more temporary subcontractors to
compensate for 4,300 machinists on strike outside the shipyard’s gates, which isn’t helping the company’s already-delayed
schedule.“Even before the strike, the impact of attrition and COVID-19 had driven our manufacturing staffing more than
500 people below what was needed,” Dirk Lesko, president of BIW wrote in a letter to employees last week. “We have
sought more efficient access to subcontractors through these negotiations because the focused and timely introduction of
skilled people on a temporary basis can help break bottlenecks to the flow of production through the yard. Bringing others
in can also free our workforce to focus on the most important tasks.”
Lesko wrote the use of subcontractors is the company’s right and that it will use the temporary workers to prevent further
production delays. Subcontracting remains a major point of contention between the BIW and Local S6.“We are outraged
that this company would further expand its use of low-wage subcontracting,” Robert Martinez Jr., president of the
International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, wrote. “It’s a slap in the face to more than 4,300 IAM
Local S6 shipbuilders who have worked through a pandemic and for generations to make this company successful.”
The shipyard’s move to bring in additional subcontractors comes a few days after the company lost out on a $936 million
contract to build an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer to Mississippi-based Huntington Ingalls, the only other shipyard that
builds that class.The union’s second week of the strike also brought two new positive cases of coronavirus from the
shipyard, making six total workers to test positive.
The newly diagnosed workers had been carpooling with the shipyard’s fourth positive case, announced late last month.
Though no personal information about the workers was released, the company strongly recommended any employee who
worked in the Combat Information Center tactical room in the future USS CARL LEVIN — a destroyer now under
construction at the Bath shipyard — from June 15-29 be tested for the virus.The Maine Center for Disease Control and
Prevention classifies three related cases as an “outbreak.” The CDC planned to offer testing to 53 people who were
potentially exposed to three workers who recently tested positive.Local S6 workers are losing their health insurance unless
they opt to pay for a plan out of pocket. Keeping health insurance through the COBRA program can cost up to a couple of

thousand dollars a month.Bath Iron Works, a subsidiary of Virginia-based General Dynamics, provided a good insurance
plan for workers because the union negotiated for it, and that underscores the necessity of fighting for a good contract,
union spokesman Tim Suitter told the Times Record. Face coverings have been noticeably sparse in the picket lines,
though Suitter said the union is making masks available and encouraging union members to wear them. However, the
union is still not requiring workers to wear masks while picketing or attending union events.
The Bath Police Department issued a statement on its Facebook page to clarify some confusion regarding face coverings
in the picket line at BIW. The department said it asked one picketer to remove a Halloween mask “to verify he was a
lawful picketer.”“We fully support compliance with the Governor’s Executive Order regarding COVID-19 precautions,” the
department wrote. “We allow and encourage the wearing of face coverings for the purpose of public health while
picketing is occurring.”According to the Maine CDC, Maine has recorded 3,415 confirmed or probable cases of COVID-19,
as of Sunday. Since the disease reached the state in March, 109 Mainers have died from coronavirus, the Portland Press
Herald reported. Source : centralmaine

BRIDGEWATCH SYSTEM FOR CTV SAFETY
- Reygar Ltd is collaborating with CWind to develop BridgeWatch master-to-shore communications feature
- Latest BareFLEET upgrade prioritises crew safety during offshore operations
Reygar Ltd., the leading provider of innovative remote monitoring and reporting platforms to the offshore wind industry,
has announced that it is working with CWind, part of the Global Marine Group (GMG), a principal service provider to the
offshore renewables and utilities market, to drive the development of a new safety feature within the BareFLEET system.
BridgeWatch, a software upgrade for BareFLEET’s reporting console, will streamline communications during crew transfer
vessel (CTV) operations by providing a distraction-free route for the master to ‘check in’ with the shore team at regular
intervals.
As part of its commitment to crew and technician safety, CWind has recognised the need to take preventative action and
mitigate against the sort of unplanned circumstances that can often arise offshore. To simplify communications between
the bridge and shore team and provide peace of mind while the vessel is in transit, CWind is working with Reygar to test
and deploy an upgrade to BareFLEET that alerts the master to record their presence on the bridge at regular intervals.
BareFLEET automatically monitors the health and performance of critical equipment across each vessel, inclusive of
engine health, fuel consumption, motion, and impact onto the turbine. The system also allows the crew to manually input
data and observations into BareFLEET’s digital reporting platform, giving CTV operators full visibility over activity on board
the vessel as data is transmitted to the shore team via the cloud.
Chris Huxley-Reynard, Managing Director, Reygar Ltd, said: “In order to best support CWind in maximising both safety
and operational efficiency across its fleet, we are updating BareFLEET’s digital reporting console with BridgeWatch. This
upgrade isn’t about keeping tabs on the crew, it’s about creating a simple, one-button means of communicating that all is
well onboard the vessel and providing the operations team with that all-important peace of mind.
“Our focus in the coming weeks is to make BridgeWatch as useful and practical as possible for the user. For example, we
will be using BareFLEET’s huge bank of event data to suppress BridgeWatch alerts during periods of operation when the

vessel is most at risk – such as when the vessel is travelling at high speed or in close proximity to other vessels. This will
allow the master to remain completely focussed on addressing these challenges, with alerts resuming once that period
has passed.”
Joshua Brennan, Director of Operations, CWind, said: “A core priority of CWind’s has always been the safety and comfort
of our crew and the technicians they transport to offshore wind projects across Europe. To provide the peace of mind that
both the on and offshore teams need to focus on delivering our high-quality service, we are working with Reygar to
establish a number of preventative measures that minimise risk across our vessels. “BridgeWatch is a highly efficient
means for the master to touch base with the operations team and confirm that everything is okay onboard. We’ve found
that the one button ‘check-in’ format of the upgrade streamlines our means of communicating and helps the master to
concentrate fully on the job at hand.”

Many older cruise ships may not survive the
pandemic
By Johanna Jainchill
Carnival Corp. last week began to make good on its pledge to remove six ships from its global fleet within 90 days, with
Costa Cruises’ COSTA VICTORIA being the first ship to leave one of its brands.
Carnival said in mid-June that it was accelerating plans already in place to shed some of the 100-plus ships flagged within
its nine brands. The Covid-19 pandemic pushed up those plans, and Carnival said the first six would be followed by more.
The company did not reveal any specifics, but there has been plenty of industry speculation as to which ships are likely
to go, and what their fate will be. Most industry experts predict that they’re destined for a scrapyard, which is where the
COSTA VICTORIA seems to be headed: Costa said its ownership was transferred to a subsidiary of the San Giorgio del
Porto shipyard.
That fate will likely be shared not only by Carnival Corp. vessels but by many of the older cruise ships still afloat, said
Peter Shaerf, managing director of AMA Capital Partners, an investment banking firm focused on the maritime sector.
“The majority will get scrapped,” he said. “I think you’ll see 30 ships scrapped over the next year, year and a half. And
that won’t make a dent. There are these old ships that, as business slowly comes back, are just not going to be the
vehicle of choice.”
Shaerf thinks it’s likely that Pullmantur’s ships will also get scrapped, which has been rumored since the brand, half-
owned by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (RCCL), filed for insolvency last month. It’s an opinion shared by UBS analyst
Robin Farley, who said in a note to investors: “Pullmantur’s three ships could be scrapped since they are all about 30
years old, and now that there are younger ships available for sale, older ships are less likely to find a buyer.”
In years past, old cruise ships could often find buyers in what was a strong secondhand ship market for cruise lines
operating in parts of Europe and Asia and expeditions.
Shaerf said that market is not currently viable because there are few buyers, and even those who might be interested
would have a hard time getting financing.
“You’ve got to have some rationalization for capacity,” he said. “And you certainly can’t get financing, or it’s very
challenging to get financing. No one is going to back a new operation at this stage. Buying the ship is just part of the
equation. You need working capital to run it, you invariably need to refurbish it.” Shaerf said that any cruise ships built in
the 1980s and early 1990s are “vulnerable.”
Peter Knego, a cruise ship historian, was surprised that a ship like the COSTA VICTORIA, which he said is in “beautiful
shape” and only 23 years old, was being scrapped.
“Nobody would imagine that,” Knego said. “If there were a viable secondary market, they would certainly sell that ship.
But they realize that there isn’t.” Like Shaerf, Knego thinks most ships will be scrapped. “It was already getting harder
and harder to place these older ships,” he said.An example is the Chinese cruise market, where cruise lines only a decade
ago would put older tonnage. Now China is getting some of the industry’s newest vessels: Royal Caribbean International’s

fifth Oasis-class ship, the WONDER OF THE SEAS, will sail from Shanghai when it debuts in 2021. “Now the Chinese
[cruisers] are very savvy, and they don’t want a bunch of old ships; they want the very newest ones,” Knego said.
And the number of markets that can sustain smaller ships with fewer passengers is “very limited,” he added. “The fuel
bills for the smaller ships are almost the same as those that carry twice as many people.”
None of this bodes well for other lines’ older ships. Knego said other possible casualties include the Costa
NeoRomantica (1993), Holland America Line’s MAASDAM (1993) and VEENDAM (1996), Princess Cruises’
SEA PRINCESS (1998) and any member of Carnival’s eight-ship Fantasy class, the first of which, the CARNIVAL
FANTASY, launched in 1990 and the last, the CARNIVAL PARADISE in 1998.
“Some will survive because they are very popular in their market,” Knego said of the Fantasy class. “They are old and
tired, but they’re great for the three- to four-day cruise market because of their density and size. But if they want to shed
tonnage and start vetting their fleet, those would be the first ones to go.”
Knego said some older ships around the industry are also vulnerable, such as Cruise and Maritime Voyages’ ASTORIA,
which originally launched as a liner in 1948 and was completely rebuilt in 1994 and which Knego called historically
significant and very viable, “but too expensive to operate for the capacity [550 passengers] that she carries. You pay the
fuel bill on the ASTORIA, and there go all the profits.”
Another reason cruise lines are likely to start shedding tonnage is that with the industry shutdown continuing until at least
Sept. 15 for most U.S. lines, it is getting more and more expensive to maintain a fleet of dormant ships.
“Each week that goes by, they pay for crew and to maintain the ships,” Knego said. “If you don’t maintain the plumbing
systems, the HVAC systems, clean the decks, paint the bulkheads, it doesn’t take long, especially in salt water, for these
ships to deteriorate and then become too expensive to revive in six months to a year from now if things get better.”
When ships that move into what is called a “cold layup,” where crew is reduced to a bare minimum, maintenance is
significantly reduced, and it can take anywhere from weeks to months to bring a ship back to service. So while RCCL has
not said it will scrap the Pullmantur ships, their move into cold layup is one step in that direction, analysts say.
“Once you go into cold layup, you reach the point, especially with a cruise ship, where to reactivate it is a significant
expense,” Shaerf said. When an older cruise ship goes into cold layup, he said, “that’s sort of the nail in the coffin.”

Amsterdam Vaart! leidt tot minder uitstoot en

congestie in de stad
37% minder CO2-uitstoot, 1.600 minder vrachtwagenritten in de stad en een afname van 19.700 ritten buiten de stad.
Het project Amsterdam Vaart! zet zoden aan de dijk. De resultaten werden behaald in de afgelopen 2 jaar door inzet van
bouwlogistiek over water bij negen bouwprojecten in en om de stad.
Dat blijkt uit de vandaag gepubliceerde rapportage van Amsterdam Vaart!, opgesteld door TNO. Vracht over de gracht
blijkt bittere noodzaak. Gisteren nog werd uit aanvullend onderzoek van de gemeente bekend dat de staat van de
bruggen en kades heel slecht is. Verdere ontlasting van de stedelijke infrastructuur door méér transport over het water
lijkt onvermijdelijk.
Bereikbaarheid en leefbaarheid
Maar niet alleen slijtage aan bruggen en kades is het gevolg van intensief goederenvervoer. Ook bereikbaarheid en
luchtkwaliteit staan onder druk. Dit beïnvloedt de leefbaarheid in de stad. Volgens topsector Logistiek is circa 27% van de
CO2-uitstoot in de stad gerelateerd aan bouwlogistiek.
Met het project Amsterdam Vaart! ondersteunt een consortium van Waternet, gemeente Amsterdam, TNO en Port of
Amsterdam, met steun van het ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat, negen bouwprojecten bij het verminderen
van bouwlogistieke stromen in de binnenstad. Het doel is om het stedelijk verkeer van vrachtwagens te verschuiven naar
transport over het water.
In de Amsterdamse haven zijn verschillende hubs waar bouwmateriaal wordt verzameld en vervolgens over water wordt
vervoerd naar de bouwprojecten elders in de stad. Vervoer over water moet onder meer leiden tot minder CO2-uitstoot,
minder binnenstedelijke ritten en minder zwaar transport over de weg. Koen Overtoom, CEO Port of Amsterdam: ‘De
resultaten van Amsterdam Vaart! laten zien dat vervoer over water een bijdrage levert aan het verbeteren van het
leefklimaat in Amsterdam. Het zorgt voor verduurzaming van stad en haven en brengt ons dichter bij ons gezamenlijke
doel: zero-emissie transport.’
Efficiënter bouwproces en minder faalkosten
De motivatie van bouwbedrijven om mee te doen aan Amsterdam Vaart! is het verbeteren van de efficiëntie van het
bouwproces, onder meer door minder faalkosten bij vervoer over water, doordat ze minder last hebben van congestie.
Negen bouwprojecten hebben de afgelopen twee jaar ondersteuning gekregen bij het opstellen van een logistiek plan om

het vervoer over water van goederen te benutten. Ook wordt vervoer over water in het Amsterdamse beleid verankerd. Er
worden mogelijkheden uitgewerkt voor vervoer over water zonder de drukte op het water verder te verhogen.
De Amsterdamse haven is de vierde haven van West-Europa en groot in de overslag en verwerking van energieproducten.
Het Noordzeekanaalgebied sloeg in 2019 ruim 105 miljoen ton goederen over waarvan circa 86 miljoen ton in de haven
van Amsterdam. In de havenregio werken in totaal ruim 68.000 mensen bij bedrijven in de haven en bij
havengerelateerde bedrijven. Daarvan werken zo'n 31.000 mensen in Amsterdam. Port of Amsterdam heeft de ambitie
om op duurzame en innovatieve wijze waarde toe te voegen voor klanten en omgeving. De onderneming stimuleert groei
bij bedrijven, waarbij zorgvuldig wordt omgegaan met beschikbare ruimte en kwaliteit van water, bodem en lucht. Als
Port of partnerships werkt Port of Amsterdam intensief samen met partners in het bedrijfsleven, stad en regio.
