Time to reinvent the lifeboat?
Members of the Container Ship Safety Forum (CSSF) have issued a call for a fundamental rethink of the design of lifeboats and lifeboat launching mechanisms on cargo ships. For too long, the focus has been on training and compliance, rather than rethinking the process to eliminate the risk at source.
‘We need to reinvent the lifeboat and its launching equipment onboard cargo vessels. For way too long, we have seen able seafarers being injured when launching lifeboats even though crews have been trained and the lifeboat is modern and fully compliant’, said Aslak Ross, Chairman of the CSSF. ‘Everyone knows we have a problem; seafarers are scared to launch lifeboats; however, no one has offered a plausible path towards a solution to the problem for cargo vessels. A change is needed to provide a safe environment for seafarers and to regain trust in lifesaving equipment’.
In 2017, the UK Chamber of Shipping issued an article ‘Lifeboat drills: We need to save lives, not lose them’ in which they identified 60 fatalities during testing of lifeboats over a 10-year period. ‘Simulation and use of new technology are ways to conduct drills in a safer environment, and we support the intent to reduce the risk of accidents, however, it does not solve the core of the problem: Launching a lifeboat is too dangerous. And even though simulation has its advantages, it should only be used as a supplement to well-conducted onboard abandon ship drills where crews are familiarised with the ship specific equipment’, said Ross. Alternative designs are already available for offshore installations and for passenger evacuation on PAX vessels through Marine Evacuation Systems (MES) and the like, he pointed out. ‘Such systems should also be made available to cargo vessels without delay. It is long overdue to change the current environment and innovate to eliminate the risk of lifeboat accidents. We need approved systems that can be fitted to new buildings – we need to safeguard our seafarers’, Ross concludes.

Bulker Damaged in Grounding Refloated and Moved Ahead of Typhoon
Vietnamese officials report efforts are underway to secure a larger dry bulk carrier that was damaged in a grounding a week ago. The goal is to secure the vessel ahead of a strong approaching typhoon.
The Star Bueno (178,978 dwt) was arriving from South Africa, carrying a load of iron ore and waiting for its berth on October 25. The area was overtaken by a strong monsoon with winds and waves which washed through the anchorage. The vessel dragged anchor and, even with its engines fully engaged, was unable to hold its position. By October 26, the vessel was reported to be aground with water ingress into portions of the hull.
The Vietnamese authorities arranged for tugs to assist the large bulker. They were also surveying to determine the level of damage to the hull. The 22 crewmembers, from the Philippines and Ukraine, were reported to be safe and uninjured.
Despite severe weather conditions, the crew was able to stabilize the vessel. Using portable pumps, they were able to begin dewatering the sections of the hull, and by October 29, they had succeeded in refloating the vessel.
Check if the statements are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F) about the text. Then, mark the correct alternative.
1. The vessel was hard-fast.
2. The ship held steady against the current and wind.
3. Attempts to lash down the Star Bueno were brushed aside.
4. Waves surged across the roadstead.
5. The anchor was used to put the ship back afloat.
6. The accident exacted a human toll.
7. Towage assets were deployed for the bulk carrier.
8. The weather was foul.

Superyachts: professionalism, manpower and training
There is a large regulatory difference between commercial and privately operated yachts. Budgets vary considerably even between similar sized yachts, which not only impacts salaries but also the safety emphasis on equipment and crew training. Employment across a fleet is rare, which tends to lead to limited promotion prospects. Even on the same yacht, employment patterns can vary between short seasonal jobs and permanent long periods. Low job security/high crew turnover is more typical than not, and in these cases operational knowledge is often lost.
Crew hiring decisions are generally made by the Captain, with the owner/management involved only for more senior positions. While there are a number of specialized yacht crew placement agencies, very few are staffed by Human Resources (HR) trained professionals. A large number of yacht positions are now advertised on the internet, potentially by-passing crew agencies, and competition for places is fierce. There is little ethnic and cultural diversity in yacht crews compared with general shipping.

Mar
Rubem Braga
A primeira vez que vi o mar eu não estava sozinho. Estava no meio de um bando enorme de meninos. Nós tínhamos viajado para ver o mar. No meio de nós havia apenas um menino que já o tinha visto. Ele nos contava que havia três espécies de mar: o mar mesmo, a maré, que é menor que o mar, e a marola, que é menor que a maré. Logo a gente fazia ideia de um lago enorme e duas lagoas. Mas o menino explicava que não. O mar entrava pela maré e a maré entrava pela marola. A marola vinha e voltava. A maré enchia e vazava. O mar às vezes tinha espuma e às vezes não tinha. Isso perturbava ainda mais a imagem.
maré enchia e vazava. O mar às vezes tinha espuma e às vezes não tinha. Isso perturbava ainda mais a imagem.
Três lagoas mexendo, esvaziando e enchendo, com uns rios no meio, às vezes uma porção de espumas, tudo isso muito salgado, azul, com ventos.
Fomos ver o mar. Era de manhã, fazia sol. De repente houve um grito: o mar! Era qualquer coisa de larga, de inesperado. Estava bem verde perto da terra, e mais longe estava azul. Nós todos gritamos, numa gritaria infernal, e saímos correndo para o lado do mar. As ondas batiam nas pedras e jogavam espuma que brilhava ao sol. Ondas grandes, cheias, que explodiam com barulho. Ficamos ali parados, com a respiração apressada, vendo o mar… Depois o mar entrou na minha infância e tomou conta de uma adolescência toda, com seu cheiro bom, os seus ventos, suas chuvas, seus peixes, seu barulho, sua grande e espantosa beleza. Um menino de calças curtas, pernas queimadas pelo sol, cabelos cheios de sal, chapéu de palha. Um menino que pescava e que passava horas e horas dentro da canoa, longe da terra, atrás de uma bobagem qualquer – como aquela caravela de franjas azuis que boiava e afundava e que, afinal, queimou a sua mão… Um rapaz de quatorze ou quinze anos que nas noites de lua cheia, quando a maré baixa e descobre tudo, e a praia é imensa, ia na praia sentar numa canoa, entrar numa roda, amar perdidamente, eternamente, alguém que passava pelo areal branco e dava boa noite… Que andava longas horas pela praia infinita para catar conchas e búzios crespos e conversava com os pescadores que consertavam as redes. Um menino que levava na canoa um pedaço de pão e um livro, e voltava sem estudar nada, com vontade de dizer uma porção de coisas que não sabia dizer – que ainda não sabe dizer.
Mar maior que a terra, mar do primeiro amor, mar dos pobres pescadores maratimbas, mar das cantigas do catambá, mar das festas, mar terrível daquela morte que nos assustou, mar das tempestades de repente, mar do alto e mar da praia, mar de pedra e mar do mangue… A primeira vez que saí sozinho numa canoa parecia ter montado num cavalo bravo e bom, senti força e perigo, senti orgulho de embicar numa onda um segundo antes da arrebentação. A primeira vez que estive quase morrendo afogado, quando a água batia na minha cana e a corrente do “arrieiro” me puxava para fora, não gritei nem fiz gestos de socorro; lutei sozinho, cresci dentro de mim mesmo. Mar suave e oleoso, lambendo o batelão. Mar dos peixes estranhos, mar virando a canoa, mar das pescarias noturnas de camarão para isca. Mar diário e enorme, ocupando toda a vida, uma vida de bamboleio de canoa, de paciência, de força, de sacrifício sem finalidade, de perigo sem sentido, de lirismo, de energia; grande e perigoso mar fabricando um homem…
Este homem esqueceu, grande mar, muita coisa que aprendeu contigo. Este homem tem andado por aí, ora aflito, ora chateado, dispersivo, fraco, sem paciência, mais corajoso que audacioso, incapaz de ficar parado e incapaz de fazer qualquer coisa, gastando-se como se gasta um cigarro. Este homem esqueceu muita coisa mas há muita coisa que ele aprendeu contigo e que não esqueceu, que ficou obscuro e forte, dentro dele, no seu peito. Mar, este homem pode ser um mau filho, mas ele é teu filho, é um dos teus, e ainda pode comparecer diante de ti gritando, sem glória, mas sem remorso, como naquela manhã em que ficamos parados, respirando depressa, perante as grandes ondas que arrebentavam – um punhado de meninos vendo pela primeira vez o mar…
