女性助陣 “ 海研五號” 添亮點
(中央社記者林孟汝台北2012年8月10日電）為了讓台灣海洋研究再跨大步，國研院海洋中心所屬「海研五號」今天交船啟用，配備18名船員中有兩位女性，增添台灣海洋研究亮點。
財團法人國家實驗研究院台灣海洋科技研究中心表示，海研五號續航力長達50天，約可連續航行1萬3000多海里。同時，船長72公尺、船型設計抗浪性佳，可提升東北季風期間的作業能力。
(海研五號)配備18名船員及30名研究員，預計每年有250天作業船期。船員中只有兩名女性，分別是二副蘇姿音及三副陳雅琴。(图1).
蘇姿音表示，由於從小生活在高雄，對大海充滿憧憬，長大後就讀高雄海洋科技大學航海技術系。她認為，女性船員有先天體力較差，加上生理期的調適問題，但與其他船員的團隊合作可以彌補缺失。
蘇姿音的資歷已有4年，之前曾在商船及客船工作，對可以在「海研五號」工作，利用科儀看到海底世界的奧秘，深感不可思議。
台湾海研5号勘探船将赴南沙太平岛周边海域找油
据台湾《中国邮报》25日报道，台湾在南海地区动作频频，除了加强在太平岛和东沙岛的军备外，台湾最新设计建成的海洋探测船即将正式启用，首要目标是前往太平岛周边海域，实施“海域震测及钻探”，展开台湾在南海油气开发的前置作业。
台湾《中国时报》的报道说，这艘名为“海研5号”的海洋探测船，隶属于台湾的“国家实验研究院”，完全由台湾自主设计建造，总造价14.6亿元（新台币，下同）。“海研5号”船长72.6米，总重2700吨，是台湾第一艘2000吨级以上的海洋探测船，也是台湾航程最远、吨位最大的海洋研究船。台湾现有的3艘海洋探测船超过7级风浪就无法出海，“海研5号”不但可顶着8级风浪执行任务，续航力更是“海研3号”的两倍以上。
台“国家实验研究院”前院长陈文华透露，“海研5号”加满油可以连续航行30天，除因未配置破冰设备，无法在南、北极航行外，可协助台湾科学家在全球各大海洋展开勘探研究。台湾“国科会”前主委李罗权说，“海研5号”配备具有机械手臂功能的遥控无人载具，可以深入海底3000米，进行油气、深层海水、离岸风电和可燃冰勘探，协助科学家研究开发新能源。“海研5号”目前正在进行观测仪器安装和各种科学试验，预计年底前投入使用，台湾《联合晚报》的报道说，国民党籍“立委”林郁方称，“立法院”将要求“矿务局”，让“海研5号”前往太平岛周边海域实施“海域震测及钻探”，展开台湾地区在南海油气开发的前置作业。
据报道，台湾缺乏油气资源，99.8%的石油和97%的天然气都依赖进口。就拿石油来说，台湾1天的消耗量是87万桶左右，台湾自产的油1天才1000桶，台湾的原油主要购自中东，约占70%，其次是西非，约占15%，剩下的15%原油进口来自于南美洲、东南亚等地区。台湾的液化天然气主要来自于卡塔尔等地。
台湾的“中油”公司占了台湾石油市场71%的份额，1年进口的原油就达3.6亿桶，28%的市场为台塑石油占有。台湾“中油”以前的全名叫做“中国石油股份有限公司”，1946年在上海创建，隶属于当时的国民政府资源委员会。1949年，“中国石油公司”跟着国民党退到台湾，成为“经济部”下辖的“国企”。目前，台湾“中油”所属船队有6艘油轮专运原油，但这只占全部所需运量的25%，另外的75%都要通过伦敦的油轮市场租赁。近年来，台湾的原油输送经常被敲竹杠，有些船东可以把300万美元一趟的船费，炒到1100万美元。有些船东会故意延迟或者是不肯租船给台湾，结果造成台湾“中油”违约而赔付巨额违约金和罚款。近年来，油气市场波诡云谲，台湾“中油”也经营维艰，台湾“经济部”的最新数据显示，台湾“中油”公司自从2006年开始亏损，去年累积亏损已达到362亿元，加计今年上半年的亏损470亿元，累积亏损达832亿元，已超过公司资本额1301亿元的一半。

Three vessels blown away during typhoon 三艘建造中货轮 (5.7万吨, 30万吨和12砘),被台风 “海葵” 吹倒.(图2).
Although various precautions have been taken by shipyards and ports before Typhoon Haikui arrived, three vessels have been blown away during the largest typhoon to hit Zhejiang Province yesterday.
A 57000dwt bulker, a 300000dwt VLCC in Zhoushan Cosco Shipyard, and a 120000dwt bulker in Longshan Shipyard were blown away. In order to prevent more damage, Ningbo Maritime Safety Administration sent two high-power tug boat to search for the missing vessels.
Currently all the three vessels has been located and two of them has been retrieved.

Ship prices have fallen rapidly this year, favoring investors 二手船船价急速下降, 有利于买家. 五年船龄的 Capesize己降到 3340万美元, Supramax 现价为 2200万美元. 新造 Capesize 即由 8850降到 4980万美元.
Monday, 16 July 2012 | 00:00
The price for a 5 year old Capesize dry bulk carrier of 172,000 dwt has fallen to about $33,4mil from $42,9 at the end of June 2011, while at end of June 2008 was more than $153 million. This comes to show how much ship prices have fallen in the past few years, which favors new investors in the business. On the other hand, it has caused major headaches among existing ship owners, especially those who invested at the end of the growth cycle, i.e. during the 2007-2008 period. They are now facing huge problems, as they have to provide added collaterals on bank who financed the purchase of those vessels. It's also one of the reasons that banks are reluctant to lend again to the shipping industry, which has been deemed as a risky one, as a result of these past "extravagance" of prices. This has caused some banks to become ship owners these days.
In its latest biannual report, Piraeus-based Golden Destiny noted that second hand vessel prices have plunged during the first half of 2012, mainly in the large sized segments, i.e. the Capesize and the Panamax one. In the panamax market, data from the Baltic Exchange shows that a 5 year old vessel of 52,000 dwt is now worth about $22 million, from $27.5 million at the end of June of 2011, while at the end of June of 2008, the cost for the same ship was more than $75 million.
The report also noted that "in the newbuilding market, similar sharp declines in prices offered by major yards are viewed with investors being more conservative in the placement of new contracts as the instability of the freight market and the challenge of oversupply with upcoming deliveries are creating uncertainty for strong newbuilding investments. A capesize unit of 186,300 dwt reported on order in February this year at Shanghai Waigaoqiao of China for a price in the region of $49,8mil, while at the end of May 2008, a capesize unit of 176,000 dwt had been reported on order at Chinese yard, Zhoushan Jinhawaian for a price about $88,5million" it noted.
This is one of the main reasons why ship owners have invested a fair amount of money in second hand vessel purchases during the first six months of the year, with a total of $6.1 billion for 555 vessels, despite the fall in freight rates. According to the report, second quarter buys were up 24% since the first quarter, while in total the first half of 2012 showed a decline of 9% compared to the same period of 2011, which is a remarkable feat, when considering the global economy uncertainty, the oversupply of tonnage in dry bulk and most other shipping markets and the lack of financing especially in Western Europe.
According to Golden Destiny, dry bulk carriers and tankers accounted for 33% and 26% of the total investment, while containers and liners follow with a 14% and 11% share respectively of the total S&P activity. The bulk carrier, gas tanker and container segments have shown a sharp revival in the volume of vessels reported to have changed hands from the previous quarter with a 31%, 44% and 39% increase respectively. The total amount of money invested for secondhand units this year is lower than the first half of 2011, 43% down, when 610 vessels had been reported to have changed hands at more than $10.7bn, with 103 sale and purchase transactions at an undisclosed sale price. The bulk carrier segment has shown a 31% increase with a total 105 vessels reported to have changed hands during April-June 2012 from 80 vessels in the first three months of the year, while a total of 185 vessels reported sold during the first half of the year at a total invested capital of more than $2.5bn, 11 sale and purchase transactions reported at an undisclosed contract price. “Amid the severe freight market status with capesizes struggling to cover their operating expenses and BDI crawling to remain above 1,000 points, investors haven’t lost their buying appetite by slowing their secondhand purchases only 6% down from the first half of 2011, when 196 bulk carriers changed hands at a total invested capital of more than $3.4billlion. The bulk carrier segment is the segment that posed the least downfall among other vessel categories in the purchase of secondhand units compared with the first half of 2011.

Rise of the Chinese Scrap Dragon 中国造船厂因无订单而积极改行拆船业务, 外国人称之为中国拆船巨龙之升起.

Given the weakness in most of the major freight markets, newbuilding contracts are much harder to come by than they were a few years back. In this circumstance, it is perhaps unsurprising that shipyards in China have begun to consider adding other strings to their bow. These include ship repair and ship demolition. The latter in particular will clearly be a growth market in the coming years. China has an advantage in that its quayside methods of demolition do not attract the same controversy as the beaching methods used in the Indian Subcontinent. In consequence, Chinese demolition volumes have been expanding recently, and recent events in India may open the door to further scrapping in China.
Singaporean cadets set sail 近来悬挂新加坡国国旗的船舶越来越多, 为供应足够船员起见政府当局己成立非大专培训班并鼓厉青年人选择航海生涯. (图3).
Singapore has worked wonders in building up a vast fleet of ships flying its flag — and now it is seeking to supply a stream of professional seafarers to man them.
For four successive years, the Singapore Maritime Officers’ Union (SMOU), together with local government, shipping and corporate bodies, has been actively seeking and convincing young Singaporeans in search of a career change to become ship officers.
Unlike most existing maritime officer-training programmes, candidates on the Tripartite Nautical Training Award (TNTA) do not come directly from secondary education into polytechnics with their entry determined by school-leaving exam results. Instead, TNTA students are judged by their enthusiasm and life experience, and they study at the SMOU’s Wavelink Maritime Institute.
Organisers describe it as an alternative door for people to forge a career at sea.There does not appear to be any shortage of Singaporeans looking at it. At this week’s intake for the fourth set of cadets, 22 young men were handed their epaulettes as they begun their maritime careers.
They will soon be joining ships under the management of companies such as AP Moller-Maersk, Neptune Orient Lines (NOV), Wallem Group, AET Tanker Holdings and Pacific Carriers.
