ESM conducts Fire Safety campaign onboard

Incomplete re-assembling causes serious injury

‘Safety should never be compromised, no matter the cost or the effort.’ This is a key premise that is consistently emphasized upon during various seminars and campaigns as well as other events conducted by Executive Ship Management. In its latest efforts to address concerns surrounding safety, ESM conducted a month – long Fire Safety campaign onboard all ships. Launched on 31st May 2019, the campaign highlighted its focus on the detection and elimination of Fire Safety hazards, specifically in the Engine room and Pump room.

To facilitate this, an Engineering Survey report and questionnaire was created by the HSEQA department. Chief Engineers with assistance from Second Engineer and Chief Officer followed to conduct a survey of likely hotspots onboard respective vessels. They scrutinized and recorded defects, damages or any shortcomings. The report would then be evaluated as the teams across the company worked to bridge any gaps or address any observations.

Cargo rooms, pump rooms and engine rooms have been recognized as a hazard due to the presence of highly inflammable substances thus requiring extra precautions. Any form of negligence, carelessness or failure to monitor persistent leaks may result in a fire. A re-evaluation of

premises with a critical eye to detail would serve in increasing crew safety, hazard awareness and thereby increasing safety vigilance in the long run. Adding to this survey, the campaign is expected to bring out recommendations of the best safety practices to prevent fire instances and to ensure cleanliness of all spaces, with special emphasis on engine and pump rooms.

While most crew members may not experience such cases of fires through their careers, the threat continues to be real and present on board. It should not be under-estimated or dismissed. To prevent such instances, crew must remain vigilant and constantly implement the best practices recommended by regulatory authority and company, in order to stay incident free, our HSEQA departments insists.

We appreciate and congratulate the Master and crew of all vessels for their enthusiastic participation.

** The monthly safety moment is collected from various sources associated with the Maritime industry for educational purpose and is not necessarily an actual incident from the ESM fleet.**

SAFETY MOMENT OF THE MONTH

While at sea, two deck crew were assigned to do maintenance of the emergency towing arrangement (ETA).

The motor, which weighed about 50kg, was dismounted and transferred to the engine room for lubrication and maintenance. Once completed, the motor was brought back on deck and re-installed using the three mounting bolts. The bolts were inserted, however, for reasons unknown, were not tightened up completely.

The air supply valve of the motor had been closed and properly tagged during the maintenance, but now the valve was reopened to proceed with the test. As the air pressure turned the motor, a strong torque developed and the motor began

vibrating rapidly and unequally due to the unsecured bolts. The motor quickly came away from its mounting and struck the two crew members. Both were injured severely and had to be sent for shore treatment and repatriation.

Letter of the MonthGlobal heating due to climate changes with record breaking temperatures in many countries in Europe, as well as political heating due to conflicting human interests have kept the world at the tenter hooks during the month of June.

The shipping industry was affected more so, with the news of oil tankers getting hit by missiles. We are closely monitoring the situation. As always, there will be cautionary advises issued to the fleet and our seafarers. It certainly goes without saying, we remain committed to the safety of our seafarers and the property of the owners we serve.

We are happy to reiterate our emphasis on safety awareness through the main news of the newsletter. During the month of June, our HSEQA conducted a Fire Safety Campaign onboard with special emphasis to the Engine, Cargo and pumprooms. These rooms are high – risk areas with highly flammable substances thatcan easily create perilous situations. The campaign combined both the efforts of the HSEQA team and crew to address any gaps and find the best practices to prevent such incidences. Nevertheless, one must never be complacent where thethreat of a fire is concerned.

In addition, ESM participated in the discussion of global maritime security on invitation of the Singapore Shipping Association. The company joined the industry experts to send the cautionary notes to masters and senior management on board to prepared and safe.

The newsletter brings forth the topical technical article, “Gearing up for Sulphur Cap Requirements in advance” which should be of much interest to our ship staff. Our environment article touches upon the issue of ozone recovery. This is a great concern for us all keeping in mind the consequences to be suffered at the fast depleting ozone layers. The article on the effect of chloroform emission is indeed an eye opener.

The effect (ill) of screen time on mental wellbeing is certainly not a grandma’s tale but a thoroughly researched conclusion. Our health article will definitely make you pause to ponder how we may look after the mental wellbeing of our young children and ourselves simply by reducing screen time.

As we enter the second half of the year, the environment is not looking any brighter with dark clouds hanging. However, what looks brighter is the determination of the industry and the competence compiled and collaborated to share the best practices to tide over the bad times. We at Executive, are confident our philosophy and policies of professionalism will keep us ahead in the game irrespective of any cloud hanging above us.

Till the next issue,

Enjoy and sail safe – always,

Gearing up for Sulphur Cap Requirements in advance – Trial Run with VLSFO – Part 1

Come 1 January 2020, and we will be ushering in legal commencement of the IMO’s Global Sulphur Cap when all ships will either be required to switch to 0.50% sulphur fuel or be fitted with an Exhaust Gas Scrubber System.

ESM personnel have been working diligently for past many months to ease the burdensome task of preparing for a smoother fuel oil switch for individual ship’s engineers. We are fully aware that proper planning as well as practical test runs are very essential in this direction to prevent any last moment surprises.

Towards that effort, we wished to test the waters by studying the effects that VLSFO (Very low sulphur fuel oil, which means the fuel with sulphur percentage less than 0.5% m/m) will have on the ship’s main and auxiliary engines.

A lot of ground-work had already been done towards ensuring a smooth transition to Sulphur Cap 2020. Now it was time to conduct a practical run of burning VLSFO on one of our managed ships in order to have first-hand experience & face any challenges to obtain useful experience. Our technical team had been in discussions with the owners and charterers towards handling of the VLSFO receipt concerning this trial and suggesting solutions. After detailed discussions, we finally received charterers’ confirmation to supply a small quantity of VLSFO for the vessel ABC at Singapore.

The reasons why we wished to conduct a detailed practical study were multi-fold, some of which are as listed below:

1. Compatibility: Being hybrid fuels, made by blending multiple product streams, chemical composition of VLSFO is very complex. An incompatible mix of VLSFO fuel with on board HFO/ MGO can lead to unwarranted sludge formation and related issues, typical evidence being overloading of the purifiers and filters.

2. Fuel Oil Stability: By virtue of being a mix of oils, there is an element of instability which is noticeable during storage or handling. Sludge build up in the storage tanks, piping systems,

purifier overflowing and filters blocking the flow are some of the noticeable signs.

3. Cat-fines: Cat fines (Catalytic fines) originate from the catalytic cracking processes in the refineries. Most catalysts are based on Aluminium and Silicon oxides. These small particles escape the recycling process and some may end up in the slurry oil, which is most commonly used as a blend stock for heavy fuel oil. Cat fines as we know lead to abrasive wear of cylinder liners, piston rings and fuel injection equipment & are anathema for the main engine internal running parts.

4. Low viscosity – There is wide range provided for the viscosity of VLSFO. A low viscosity challenges the functioning of the fuel injection pump by breakdown of the oil film, resulting in seizures & insufficient injection pressure and associated difficulties during start-up and low-load operations.

While the purifier manufacturers had mentioned to treat VLSFO as a normal heavy fuel, the engine manufacturers had expressed concerns mentioned as above. MAN B&W had also released a technical article about the use of a new type of piston rings for the use with VLSFO. Apart from above, parameters such as tanks segregation, compatibility issues, fuel results, were also weighing on our minds. We were looking at a VLSFO quantity of about 130 mt, and the general concept was to accommodate this in a small empty storage tank on ship without commingling.

The checks & preparations carried out on the vessel:

HFO tank no 3 was emptied and opened up for internal inspection to verify sludge accumulation. Subsequently the tank was manually cleaned & inspected for acceptability before VLSFO could be taken in. Similarly, HFO settling tank was manually inspected and thoroughly cleaned.

Above tanks had to be properly cleaned, as we wished to exercise abundant caution to totally remove or keep the residuals to minimum to prevent any fuel stability issues & maintain the low Sulphur percentage.

During previous bunkering the FO Bunker lines had been blown through with air and then the filling valve was left open to the tank where last HSFO bunkers were taken for approximately 12 hours to drain any remaining contents to the HFO tank.

Finally, our vessel ABC bunkered about 125 MT of VLSFO – having 0.45% sulphur content (as per Bunker Delivery Note) at Singapore. Onboard Compatibility tests for the VLSFO bunkered and HSFO in use carried out in a ratio of 50:50 (VLSFO:HSFO) and 70:30 (VLSFO:HSFO).

Chloroform emissions may delay ozone recovery up to eight years

A study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has identified that chloroform emissions may delay ozone recovery up to eight years. If unaddressed or not curbed, it could result in damaging the recovering ozone yet again. The ozone layer or ozone shield is a region of Earth’s stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation. In other words, it protects us from the most harmful rays of the sun. However it is not indestructible. The ozone can be depleted mainly through manufactured chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and more. CFCs are non-toxic, non-flammable chemicals containing atoms of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine. They are used in the manufacture of aerosol sprays, blowing agents for foams and packing materials, as solvents, and as refrigerants. Scientists observed a depletion of the ozone layer from the late seventies, mainly in the polar regions.

Ozone depletion is a cause for concern due to the increased cancer risks, skin cancer, sun burn, cataracts as well as harming plants and animals. In 1987, the Montreal Protocol, a treaty, set regulations to which most countries acted to ban the production of CFCs. As a result of this, in 2018, the United Nations announced that the ozone layer, is on road to making recovery by

mid-century.

However, a new study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has identified another threat to the said recovery - chloroform. Chloroform is a colorless, sweet smelling compound used in the manufacture of products such as refrigerants and Teflon. This compound is in a class of compounds classified as very short-lived substances (VSLS), as they remain briefly in the atmosphere. The study utilized the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE), a network of coastal and mountain stations that regularly monitor the composition of global atmosphere through accurate means to observe the various compounds present.

Analysing the data, researchers noted an increasing trend in the emissions concentrations of chloroform around the world between 2010 and 2015. It was estimated that between 2000 to 2010, global chloroform emissions remained at 270 kilotons per year. After 2010, it was found that these emissions climbed reaching a high of 324 kilotons per year in 2015. The main spikes were observed in the East Asian region. Utilizing two different three dimensional atmospheric models that simulate the movement of gases and chemicals, researchers confirmed this observation. This, was attributable to the increasing chloroform emitting industries and factories. Based on these evidences, researchers

were able to predict recovery of the ozone layer could be further delayed by four to eight years.

Due to its VSLS properties, Chloroform remains briefly in the atmosphere for about five months. If such chemicals were to linger, they would be transported into the atmosphere via turbulent mixing alternatively known as chaotic changes in pressure and velocity. Some examples of turbulent mixing include typhoons, storms as well as fumes emitted from industrial equipment such as pipes, ducts, precipitators, gas scrubbers, surface heat exchangers and machines. In East Asia, where such weather is common, this can boost chloroform and short-lived compounds into the stratosphere, where they may decompose into ozone-depleting chlorine.

It is generally assumed that Chloroform and other VSLS are unlikely to do any real damage to the ozone, however, at this stage, emissions of more long – living compounds are decreasing hence, and further recovery of the ozone layer can be slowed down by small sources such as short-lived compounds. This research serves as a heads up to regulators and scientists that the journey toward repairing the ozone layer is yet to end. Future regulations may need to be made to counter the damage such short-lived substances may create.

Reduced screen time for young highly recommended for mental well being A study conducted by psychological experts from San Diego State University and the University of Georgia has found too much screen time on smartphones, televisions and the computer is linked to increased levels of anxiety or depression in children as young as two years old. With technology’s invasiveness in our daily lives, it is time we consider its implications on overall well-being and take measures to curb reliance on ourselves and that of children. After all, they learn from imitation.

Technologies such as our mobile phones, computers, tablets etc have certainly eased our lives. It has influenced the way we live, play, communicate and work. In fact, the impact of technology has also made its way towards children, from teenagers to infants, as a form of communication, education and entertainment. While it certainly has its benefits, the amount of screen time in excess, has its own negatives especially on young, impressionable minds. Apart from physical impacts such as causing a decline in eyesight, it is noted that this can have an impact on mental health.

A study conducted by psychological experts from San Diego State University and University of Georgia, found too much time spent on

gaming, smartphones and watching television can be linked to increased levels of anxiety or depression in children as young as two years old. Researchers analyzed the National Survey of Children’s Health data from 2016, with a random sample of more than 40,300 surveys from the caregivers of children aged 2 to 17. This survey, previously administered by the U.S Census Bureau enquired about topics such as existing medical care, emotional, developmental and behavioral issues, youth behaviors including daily screen time.

It found that adolescents (age 10 – 19) who spent more than 7 hours a day on screens were twice as likely to be diagnosed with anxiety or depression. This was compared with adolescents who spent an hour on screens daily. Among preschoolers, users with more screen time were twice as likely to be temperamental and hyper-active. Teenagers who spent more than seven hours a day were more unlikely to finish tasks. Overall, youths displayed a lack of interest and curiosity to learn new things.

Based on this, it was established that screen time and well-being had greater implications among adolescents (age 10 -19) due to the increased exposure to screens and social media. At a time when the youth have greater access to digital technologies and are spending time using these

MIND YOUR BODY

devices for entertainment, it is necessary for us to understand, address and limit its negative implications.

The World Health Organization recommends infants under 1 year old should not be exposed to electronic screens and that children between the ages of 2 and 4 should not have more than one hour of “sedentary screen time” each day. In addition, the study recommends a two-hour per day screen time limit for school-going children and adolescents. As for youths, establishing limits, taking time to educate oneself about screens and addressing the implications on them and their priorities may be a good way to manage screen time. The best way, however would be to set a good example, limiting one’s personal screen time, after all, children and infants learn from imitation.

Here are some ways to do so: 1. Avoid screen use while engaging with

children2. Set screen time limits for each child 3. Keep meals media free4. Refrain from using screen as a means to

control behavior5. Keep mobile phones and charging stations

away from the bedroom

ESM NEW TAKEOVER

New delivery for the month of June 2019Adding to ESM’s fleet of specialized vessels, the company in July took successful delivery of oil/ chemical tanker Marlin Master on 04th June 2019 at the Hyundai Vinashin Shipyard, Vietnam.

Our heartiest congratulations and safe sailing to the Marlin Master crew under the leadership of Captain Mayank Srivastava, CO Ganesh Navinchandra Kundapur, CE Maheshwar Singh, 2E Sooraj Kunnupurath Muraleedharan for conducting an efficient and successful takeover.

Global maritime security issues addressed in high – level SSA forumMerchant vessels sailing in the Gulf of Aden have been advised to respond immediately if contacted by coalition vessels to eliminate any suspicion on their ends. In addition, Engine Rooms were recommended to be Unmanned Machinery Spaces when sailing in these waters, so as to avoid or minimize casualties in the event of an attached limpet mine on vessel.

Given the rising tensions between the United States and Iran, these key security – related recommendations were relayed by maritime experts at the Information Fusion Centre Shared Awareness Forum held on 19th June 2019. ESM joined its industry contemporaries in this high – level engagement organized by the Singapore Shipping Association (SSA).

Additional security recommendations for masters and officers included naming threat areas for theft, robbery and piracy (TRAPS) in the Asian region such as the Singapore - Malacca and Sunda straits, Taboneo Port, anchorage in Indonesia as well as the Bohai Sea near China. To ensure maximum safety and security of crew and vessel, shipping companies were also strongly advised to equip vessels with Armed Security Guards when sailing in high-risk seas.

Captain Sumit Bhagat, Manager, HSEQA represented ESM at the event. It was indeed a great opportunity for ESM to contribute and be part of such aprominent industry event.
