UKHO brings free ECDIS Workshop to Hong Kong Free-to-attend workshop on ECDIS regulations and procedures.
Friday, 31 May 2013 | 10:00
The United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) is bringing its renowned ECDIS workshop to Hong Kong next week.
This free workshop will present the ‘Admiralty Guide to policy and procedures for the operational use of ECDIS’ and will provide expert guidance on the regulatory requirements governing the adoption of ECDIS, as well as the onboard safety management systems and bridge procedures required to fulfill SOLAS carriage obligations.
These workshops will benefit anyone involved in managing the integration of ECDIS into their ships, including managers, owners, ship personnel, regulators and auditors. Following on from the UKHO’s highly regarded Digital Integration Workshops, which provided a nine-stage guide to planning for the ECDIS transition, this new workshop will offer more detailed advice on compliance with ECDIS regulations, as well as allowing plenty of time for discussions with the UKHO team and answering any questions from delegates.
Held in association with the Hong Kong Shipowners Association, the workshop is taking place at the United Conference Centre in Hong Kong from 2.00pm on Tuesday 4 June. It will be hosted by Guy Edwards, Head of Admiralty Asia Pacific, and led by Captain Paul Hailwood, a Master Mariner and internationally respected expert on ECDIS and integrated bridge operations.
Captain Hailwood commented:
“We are delighted to have the opportunity to bring our workshop to Hong Kong, one of the world’s busiest ports and a global shipping hub, and to offer our expertise on the challenges surrounding ECDIS regulations and bridge procedures. The legal requirements for ECDIS compliance can appear complex and vary according to interpretation. Our workshop will provide a checklist of the items required by international standards that will help shipping companies to prepare for inspections and third-party audits, as well as identifying the hazards associated with the operation of ECIDS and the appropriate control measures to mitigate those risks.”

世界最大的18,000箱位船本月面世, 但这个纪录将于二年后被中海所订造之18,400箱位取代……
This month Maersk will take delivery of the world's biggest container ship, capable of carrying 18,000 boxes - but it won't hold the title for long. This month, China Shipping Container Lines (CSCL) announced it had ordered five vessels each capable of carrying 18,400 TEUs (20-foot containers), and its chairman Li Shaode has confirmed the mega-ships will be deployed in a 10-year joint service with United Arab Shipping Company (UASC).
The ships, to be built by South Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries, for a total of US$700 million, will use engines that can automatically control fuel consumption to suit speed and sea conditions, helping to improve fuel efficiency and cut emissions.
News that CSCL will join Maersk in the super-size containership club is further proof of the demand for these fuel-efficient behemoths among the major lines - now it is just a question of when and how many more will make the leap.

Maersk says: “To build the world’s largest and most efficient vessel, Maersk Line needed to custom design a propulsion system that would be both powerful enough to move the vessel, but with maximum efficiency to be worthy of the Es in its name: Economies of scale, Energy efficient and Environmentally improved.”
“For starters,” it continues, “the top speed of the Triple-E was capped at 23 knots, two knots lower than Emma Maersk’s top speed. This meant a power requirement of only 65-70 megawatts compared to Emma’s 80 megawatts – a 19 percent reduction.”
A slower max speed also enabled Maersk Line to consider engines that could operate at slower revolutions – ‘ultra-long stroke’– which provides the greatest fuel efficiency. To retain the efficiency created by the slower revolutions of an ultra-long stroke engine re¬quires a larger propeller diameter. However, the size of the propeller is limited by the dimensions of the vessel and the available space beneath the keel. To mitigate these restrictions and achieve the desired efficiency, Maersk Line research determined that a two engine/two propeller ‘twin skeg’ system was superior to the one engine/propeller set-up.
The Triple-E’s two propellers are 9.8 metres in diameter with 4 blades each, compared to Emma’s single propeller, which is 9.6 metres in diameter ith 6 blades. The combined diameter of the propellers provides greater pushing power in the water fewer number of blades creates less resistance.

The captains who will take charge of the Triple-Es have to prepare for the new vessel and its twin-skeg setup, which is different from the single engine and propeller on the E-class vessels (and other container vessels). They do this with the help of the same bridge simulation programme which is also made available to the pilots and tugboat captains in the ports which the Triple-Es will be calling.
In an interview, two of the captains who will soon be at the helm of a new Triple-E vessel, explain how the bridge simulation prepares them for the task ahead and what the major differences are between the current largest vessels of the Maersk-fleet, the E-class, and the new Triple-Es.

3,000艘船己安装 MeteoGroup 最新之天气导航服务 (Weather routing service)………
MeteoGroup, the global private weather company, has launched its latest onboard weather forecasting and ship performance optimisation system: SPOS8. The new release of SPOS, the world’s leading onboard weather routing system, introduces an extensive inventory of new features and enhancements, providing captain and crew with the information they need to calculate the optimum route, including, for the first time in onboard software, a fuel consumption-speed reduction curve. SPOS8 can be integrated into MeteoGroup’s other fleet management tools and routing services to offer a complete fleet management solution.
With its first onboard use in 1995, SPOS has set the standard for weather routing and is now installed on over 3,000 ships. MeteoGroup has an ongoing development programme for SPOS and the software is always evolving and improving, ensuring existing and new clients benefit from the latest innovations.
In SPOS8, the enhancements are immediately visible with a greatly improved interface and a more intuitive workflow. The route editor has been completely rebuilt, transforming complex data into clear and accessible output which is now even easier to interpret. In the new release, existing features have been enhanced and a huge number of new functions have been added.
