First MLC detention in Denmark
Friday, 06 September 2013 | 11:27
The Liberia flagged offshore supply vessel Atlantic Carrier has for 24 hours been detained in Esbjerg. The Danish Maritime Authority discovered during a control Tuesday that the crew was without contracts. The detention is the first in Denmark as a result of breach of MLC requirements.
"It is satisfying to see that the MLC requirements are incorporated in the Danish authority’s port state control. The seafarers' employment is quite basic. The contract is a piece of paper that states under which conditions he or she is employed. Conditions such as wages, rights during sickness , etc must be included in the contract and if this is missing, no one can be aware of the terms, "says President of CO-Søfart, Ole Philipsen.
The seafarers' working and living conditions have with the entry of the MLC, Maritime Labour Convention on 20 August become part of a supervisory system.
Ole Philipsen has on several occasions emphasized the MLC requirements as a most important measure for seafarers since World War II. Conditions on board a ship have not previously been part of the inspectors' duties under the Port State Control.
The company behind Atlantic Carrier corrected the situation and the ship will continue to operate in the North Sea, where it operates in connection with the offshore wind farm DanTysk, which is currently under construction.

ITF applauds MLC detentions
Thursday, 12 September 2013 | 10:00
The ITF today applauded port state control in Canada and Denmark for their action in detaining two vessels under the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC) – and pointed out how the detentions prove the new convention’s potential.
In Canada the Lia M was detained, and in Denmark the Atlantic Carrier was held. Both were stopped over lack of employment contracts. In the case of the Lia M crew complaints included unpaid wages, a ‘collective bargaining agreement’ that lacked the vessel name, a date or a wage scale; crew with no money, no shampoo, toothpaste or other items; a crew member who had twice been refused access to a doctor; and crew membershaving been forced to sign blank contracts.
Following the intervention of PSC and the ITF both vessels are now MLC compliant.
ITF seafarers’ section chair Dave Heindel commented: “It’s great to see the MLC in action. These were serious infringements and remedial action has been swiftly taken. These detentions should be a wake up call to shipowners who are not complying with the MLC, and a further reminder to those countries who haven’t yet ratified of why they need to.”

Liberia Storms Ahead on MLC Certification
Monday, 02 September 2013 | 00:00
Ninety-four percent of qualifying Liberian-flag ships have achieved successful Maritime Labour Convention 2006 compliance, just one week after the convention entered force, putting Liberia far ahead of any other international ship registry.
MLC 2006 certification is a multi-step process. The first step involves the issuing of a Declaration of Maritime Labour Compliance (DMLC) Part 1 at the request of the owner. This is followed by the owner’s submission of DMLC Part 2 for approval. In the case of Liberia, which has opted not to delegate flag state inspection to classification societies, this means approval by the Liberian flag. Thereafter, the vessel is inspected and the certificate duly issued to compliant ships.
The Liberian-flag fleet is the second largest in the world and includes 3,215 ships to which MLC 2006 applies. To date, DMLC Part 2 has been accepted in respect of 3,016 Liberian-flag ships, equating to 94% of the qualifying Liberian fleet. Liberia has issued 1,464 MLC 2006 certificates. It has also issued 3,084 DMLC Part I documents. The certification process meanwhile continues apace.
Liberia was the first flag state to ratify MLC 2006, and one of the first to adopt inhouse measures to anticipate implementation of the convention. David Pascoe, maritime operations and standards chief of the Liberian International Ship & Corporate Registry (LISCR), says, “Other flag states have been relying on class societies to inspect vessels. While still recognising inspections conducted by class and by other Recognised Organizations where appropriate, Liberia has elected to deal with owners directly, using its dedicated global workforce of more than 180 MLC-trained inspectors to conduct inspections. The figures show that this was the right decision.
“There is still some way to go in terms of MLC certification, but Liberia is moving forward rapidly. In our experience, most responsible owners will have no problem complying with MLC, but they need to get their certification in place. Liberia is doing everything it can to help them achieve that goal.”

Korean Register signs cooperation agreement with Panama Maritime Authority
Wednesday, 11 September 2013 | 19:00
The Korean Register (KR) – an IACS member classification society – has signed an MoU with the Panama Maritime Authority (PMA) to allow cooperation on technical research and to work together on a range of international activities.
The MoU is specifically aimed at owners with Panamanian flagged vessels and will bring them a range of benefits including enhanced survey and certification services. In addition, both parties have agreed to cooperate on future technical and research projects and to exchange technical information as well as manpower.
At the signing ceremony held in Busan, Korea, Mr Kim Kyu-seob, KR’s executive vice-president said “I am delighted to sign this agreement which heralds a long and fruitful relationship between this classification society and the Panama Maritime Authority. Both parties will benefit and it is good for both of us to work together particularly in the current climate of fierce competition, unpredictability and change.”
Mr Reynaldo Garibaldi, chief of navigation and maritime safety from the PMA replied:
“It is enormously helpful for the PMA to sign this agreement with KR. The Korean Register is leading the way with classification-related technology and we are looking forward to working alongside them”

The merger between DNV and GL is now approved. The new company - DNV GL - will be operational from 12 September. DNV GL will be the world’s largest ship and offshore classification society to the maritime industry, a leading provider of technical assurance and risk management services to the oil & gas industry and a leading expert in wind and power transmission and distribution. DNV GL also takes the position as one of the top three management system certification bodies in the world.
The competition authorities in South Korea, the USA, the EU and China have cleared the merger between the two well-regarded companies, both of which will soon celebrate 150 years of independent operations. The new company, formally called DNV GL Group, will comprise 17,000
employees across 300 sites in more than 100 countries, and have revenues of EUR 2,500 million per year.
“It is with great pride that we can now inform that this vision-driven merger for growth has been cleared by the competition authorities in all four required jurisdictions. The merging companies both represent leading market positions, complementary commercial positions and an acknowledged reputation for advanced technology and high quality and integrity,” says Henrik O. Madsen, Group CEO of DNV GL.

‘Maersk Kampala’ on fire
It’s been three days since a fire broke out on board the containership Maersk Kampala just south of the Suez Canal and the crew on board has yet to douse the flames inside six of the cargo containers on board. In an emailed statement this afternoon, Maersk spokesperson Mikkel Linnet notes that the fire has remained isolated to the two foremost cargo bays of the vessel and that all crew are “accounted for and safe in the accommodation area with no injuries reported.”
Maersk notes that on August 29th, the fire originated in a container at the bottom of a stack before spreading to a second container.
Tugs soon came to support the onboard fire-fighting efforts, but the flames eventually spread as unfavorable weather conditions prevented these tugs from getting close enough to have maximum effect.
Since Saturday, Maersk notes weather conditions have improved resulting in more effective fire-fighting support from the tugs, while keeping the fire contained to the two foremost bays. Maersk adds, “the fire fighting team on board is also now well into the process of extinguishing the fire inside containers by cutting open the hot containers as well as those nearby and flooding them with water. To speed up this process, an additional fire fighting team will come aboard this evening.”
Although fire still burns inside six containers, the extent of the damage is likely far more extensive.
