How is it different Now?
Global economy downturn ‐ affecting global tradeDepressing freight rates and charter ratesIncrease in bunker fuel and operating cost for ships

Imagine a scenario when vessel is not maintained due to financial constraints …
Vessel sails out from a portHas an engine breakdownCan not be repaired , no spares are available on boardVessel drifting helplesslyRequests for towage to port of refugeVessel berths in portExpensive repairs

Imagine a scenario when vessel is not maintained due to financial constraints …PSCO visits. Vessel detained, MOU declares “rust bucket”Additional ISM audit imposedR.O. declares failure of SMSSMC withdrawnVessel rejected by OMLoss of business , vessel laid up

Another scenario ‐ a vessel where SMS implementation is not satisfactory (apparently due to financial constraints) sails through heavily congested waters such as in Singapore straits …..

Results Expensive RepairsOff‐ Hire resulting in Non availability of the vessel for operationsIncrease in Insurance premiumCompany ImageTechnical hold imposed by the Oil Majors
11
THERE IS NO SHORT CUT TO SAFETY
(with or without financial constraints)
All major accidents in history are testimony to this.
GOLDEN RULE :
12
Are you ready to face the challenge how to simplify & prioritize Safety and meet the targets…..
Zero Downtime
Zero Accidents
Zero Fines
Minimize Related Expenses
13
Target ‐ Zero Down TimeDown Time can take place due to:
Breakdowns / Operational Delays resulting in Off‐Hires Detentions by PSCs / FSCsOil Major RejectionsClass Society through PR 17Failure of SMS Implementation
14
Target ‐ Zero AccidentAccidents can be prevented through: Trained and Competent CrewStrict adherence to SMS Well maintained machinery & equipment through effective PMSEffective Emergency PreparednessPromulgation of lessons learnt from accidents within fleet / industry
15
Target ‐ Zero FinesFines for non compliance with Rules & Regulations Due to Detention by PSC / FSCIncorrect declaration of spares & storesViolation of traffic rules at seaSecurity RegulationsPollution RegulationsFood & Agriculture Regulations
‐PROMULGATION OF UPTODATE INFORMATION TO SHIPS ON RULES & LEGISLATIONS OF VISITING COUNTRIES‐‐TRAINING & COMPETENCY OF SHIP STAFF
16
Minimizing expenses through…
Survey Fees – through Block fee arrangements with ClassImproved Purchase control SystemImproved Inventory control systemMy suggestion: Futuristic approach to Audits – an approach to be considered by R.O. to prevent delays to ships in ports
17
Safety Tools
1. SMS Implementation:Robust Safety Management System –familiarization by office & ship staffDefect Reporting & MaintenanceResponding to EmergenciesPromulgation of lessons learntDrills & Training
18
Quality TrainingTraining Ashore – Office & ship staffOn board TrainingTraining Tools – Training Modules, CBT, Video presentations, simulator based training ashore, case studies, 3D video, demonstrations, Seminars, pre‐joining briefing in office, ship board familiarization

Complying with Oil Major requirementsVIQ ‐ a great Safety Management Tool
Identify the observations raised Chapter wiseAnalyze and Establish Chapters requiring more focusPrepare Training Modules and render training
Repeat ObservationsRaise awareness through promulgation of repeat observations and related CAInitiate and monitor a Campaign on repeat observations Discussions in Seafarers Seminars

Safety Tools 2. Use of Communication Technology together with IT soft wares :‐ In establishing cost effective two way communication between the vessel & the office
‐ Guide ship staff for smooth Operation of the vessel
‐ Effective Monitoring from office PMS, Defect reporting & Breakdown maintenance
‐ Prompt Emergency response 22

Can prevent high Ransom Claims, Delays & off‐hires, Loss of life / injury to crew and Torture / trauma,
Psychological impact on near & dear ones BY:
Use of Best Practices as per BMP4 and company initiativesUse of privately employed armed security guardsRisk based approach – time and area of transit, prevailing weather conditions, proximity to reported piracy activity areas, history of recent attacks, Proximity of naval forces in the area
