2015年危险品错报事件急剧上升

2016-2-15

据悉相比2014年,赫伯罗特船公司(Hapag-Lloyd)去年记载了相当多危险品错误申报案件。

赫伯罗特公司信息技术(IT)和危险品专家联合研 制了一款可持续检查货物资料以确认任何显眼迹象的专用安全监视程序(Watchdog program)软件,其在去年识别了4314起错报危险品案件。这比上一年的2620起案数增长了65%。

赫伯罗特危险品专家在2015年调查了236000起以上由该安全软件发觉的疑似案件(2014年为162000起以上),这相当于增加了约46%。危险品申报不精准、不正确或根本未报,其对船员、船舶、其他货物和环境具有潜在重大风险。

赫伯罗特危险品部门负责人Ken Rohlmann认为案件急剧增加背后存在两个原因:首先,由于该公司与智利南美航运公司(CSAV)集装箱业务合并,去年赫伯罗特货运量大幅增加。 其 次,继天津港8月中旬发生毁灭性危险品爆炸事故后,该监视软件发现情况大幅增加。

随着该事故发生,许多港口对其危险品指导法规大幅从严从紧,甚至完全禁止 危险品储藏。
赫伯罗特监视软件一直受到海关和港口当局、警察以及其他船公司方面许多关注。Ken Rohlmann称依靠该软件,其行业能够大大降低给船员、船舶、货物和环境构成的风险。危险商品专家强调,为了所涉人员利益,应使整个运输系统更加安全。

 船上的年夜饭他吃了15

2016-2-22


夜幕降临,华灯初上,春节期间,整个城市在灿烂的烟花下格外妖娆迷离。在大连湾港,每天晚上,青山岛轮都会拉载着成百上千名返程旅客,准时停靠在码头。

人们常说:大海航行靠舵手,但船员说大海航行更要靠轮机!因为船舶的动力、电力保障都来自于轮机,设置在船体底部的机舱就是船的心脏,运转的机器使舱内的温度变高,轰鸣声让人听不清自己说话的声音。在这样相对与世隔绝的环境中,青山岛轮的轮机长寇介云工作了15个年头。219日正月十二 晚,利用青山岛轮靠岸后短暂的休息时间,记者登上客轮走进了它的心脏,了解80后轮机长春节期间的坚守。

体验: 机舱内36摄氏度高温,说话基本听不清

沿着船体内陡峭的扶梯,记者下到了青山岛轮的心脏机舱。由于机舱里噪音很大,轮机长寇介云特意找来一副耳套让记者戴上。打开机舱的大门,迎面一股热浪袭来,机器声震耳欲聋,机舱内满是柴油、机油的味道。记者注意到,在机舱内一处管壁悬挂的温度计上清楚地显示着,此时机舱内温度高达36摄氏度。寇介云时不时用手摸头,打手势提醒记者小心碰头。

记者顺着扶梯下了一层,看到发电机正在工作,排气阀上下振动,发出咚!咚!咚的声音。在机舱内没待多久,记者已经浑身湿透,闷得喘不上气来。寇介云告诉记者,轮机部除了轮机长外,还包括轮机员、电机员、机匠长和机匠。他们各司其职,常年工作在客滚船的底部,除了与驾驶室之间的联系外,工作期间几乎与世隔绝,随着载重量的加大,他们往往身处海平面下面,担负着非常重要,又极其乏味的工作。而作为轮机长,除了配合船长工作外,更重要的任务是确保机舱动力和辅助设备运转正常,保障船舶正常运行,进出港时,我必须待在机控室内,随时监控各设备的参数指标,其他人员在机舱内各司其职。其余时间轮机部人员会24小时轮流值守在安静且恒温的机控室里,监控机器是否运转正常,并按规定定时到机舱内巡视,检查机器设备是否有异常

15
分钟后,当记者爬出机舱时,一股舒服的凉风立马袭来,耳边也顿时安静下来。看着机控室内一丝不苟工作的船员们,心中敬佩之情油然而生。

坚守: 15年没有回家过年,把机会留给同事

31
岁的寇介云,老家在山东潍坊,今年已经是他上船工作的第15个年头。由于家在外地,再加上工作繁忙,几乎每年春节他都是在船上度过的。而今年春节,原本停航4天、有机会回家过年的他,又将机会留给了家在大连的本地船员。

在寇介云的脑海里,更多记忆的是在船上过年的情景,在船上过年其实也很热闹。每年的除夕,船上会留一半人值班,聚餐、看春晚、包饺子、听新年钟声,这是中海客运多年的传统。除了看春晚,别的活动也很丰富,唱歌、猜谜、打滚子、下象棋、打乒乓球。

而今年春节,对于寇介云来说,有着特殊的意义。自己的二女儿刚满11个月,这是孩子出生后过的第一个春节,寇介云节前特意给女儿邮寄去一份节日礼物。春节期间,只要有时间寇介云就上网与妻子视频聊天,逗逗自己的宝贝女儿。

按照班期,正月初四晚上青山岛轮正式起航,开始了年后的第一个航班。正月初六大风降温,船靠在烟台避风。初七风力略减,中海的客轮因为抗风等级高,率先复航。由于正值返程高峰,青山岛轮不停往返于烟台、大连间,接送返程客流。
别人的春节长假对于寇介云来说,只不过是平常。

幸福是自己干出来的,苦恼也是自己找出来的。干我自己喜欢的工作,一点都不辛苦,我很满足。寇介云常说,在他心里有两个家,一个家,一个家。一个家在客轮上,一个家在潍坊,两个家我都爱,两个家我都放不下。有时候我只能牺牲小家,因为客轮上有很多事等着我去做,有很多旅客等着我为他们保驾护航。
捧着一颗心来,不带半根草去。寇介云选择了船员这个岗位,就选择了奉献,生命因奉献而变得美丽。在人生的路上,虽然没有鲜花,没有掌声,但他却赢得了同事的尊重与赞赏。

 老龄海岬型船:史上首次跌破 1000 美元/

2016-2-29

这一板块再度刷出让人不忍直视的历史纪录;如今,船东甚至可以丢着硬币决定,到底是租船还是索性闲置 今年以来,海岬型租金屡创新低的情况依旧未改,并于史上首度跌破每天1000美元关口。

根据波交所上周五针对老龄17.2万吨级海岬型船的租金报价目前的水平已跌至每天仅984美元。不过根据Capesize 2014指数,船龄较小的18万吨级船租金回报相对较高,为2390美元/天。
经纪行向《贸易风》解释说,目前太平洋及大西洋两地通通缺少货源,所以留给船东的选择余地极其有限。来自贸易风

India Worries About its Ageing Shipping Fleet           印度船队老龄化

Saturday, February 27, 2016

India's troubled shipping sector has been passing through tumultuous waters in recent years with over 40 per cent of the country’s fleet older than 20 years and about 12 per cent of them being 12-15 years old, says the Economic Survey 2015-16 , tabled in Parliament by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Friday.

Expressing concern over the condition of India's fleet, it said it is aging and "42.42 per cent of the fleet is over 20 years old and 12.43 per cent in the 15-19 age group." 

The decline in the Baltic Dry Index, a freight index that depicts the robustness of trade, from 10,720 in May 2008 to 386 in January 2016 “is a reflection of the slowdown in India’s and the world’s merchandise trade as well as of overseas shipping services,” according to the statement tabled in Parliament.

"The shipping sector has been passing through tumultuous waters in recent years... There is urgent need to increase India's shipping fleet. With asset prices currently being serendipitously low, the time is right to acquire new generation ships to replace ageing ones," it said. 

“There is an urgent need to increase India’s shipping fleet. With asset prices currently being low, the time is right to acquire new generation ships to replace ageing ones,” according to the survey. There is a need for cheaper finance and longer fund tenure. “At least the issue of longer tenure for loans to the shipping sector could be urgently addressed.”

The significance of the sector can be understood from the fact that about 95 per cent of India's trade by volume and 68 per cent in terms of value is transported by sea. 

As on 30 November 2015, India had a fleet strength of 1,246 ships with dead weight tonnage (DWT) of 15.37 million. 

The survey said import of cheap Chinese steel billets into the major ship-breaking locations is resulting in falling demand for scrap ships. 

 厦门国际邮轮母港今年运营启幕

2016.02.22

22日,七海航海家号邮轮将抵达厦门,这是今年首艘来厦运营的邮轮。厦门港务控股集团介绍,今年下半年,厦门国际邮轮母港将进入二期泊位改建工程阶段,以满足未来运营需求。

七海航海家号邮轮拉开今年厦门邮轮母港运营序幕后,将有多艘邮轮来厦运营。厦门港务控股集团、厦门国际邮轮母港集团介绍,从目前公布的初步计划看,2016年全年接待邮轮将超过60艘次,蓝宝石公主号(6月到7月)、海洋神话号(8-10月)、天秤星号(4-8月)三艘邮轮将围绕厦门做母港运营。

值得一提的是,11.6万吨的蓝宝石公主号是首次来厦做母港运营,其以国际一流的服务著称。该轮长290米、宽48.2米、高62.5米,可载客 2670人,618日来厦,将连续进行厦门-济州-长崎-厦门、厦门-冲绳-鹿儿岛-厦门、厦门-鹿儿岛-熊本-厦门、厦门-冲绳-上海等四个航次。

近些年来,来厦邮轮呈现大型化趋势,从最初的7万吨级海洋神话号,到13.8万吨级的 海洋航行者号,再到去年的16.8万吨级海洋量子号和今年年底计划来厦的16.8万吨级海洋赞礼号,均不断对厦门邮轮母港的接待能力提出新要求。随着邮轮母港建设工作的逐步推进,有关方面将首先进行泊位改建。

根据前不久透露的方案,今年下半年,母港将进入二期泊位改建工程阶段,计划改造岸线总长度1432米,改造建设4个泊位,分别为115万吨级、210吨级邮轮泊位和1个滚装泊位,并对配套水域进行相应改建。部分岸线水工结构设计满足22.5万吨级世界最大邮轮靠泊。同时,在陆域建设方面,母港将建设 旅客廊道、登船梯等配套设施。

相关工程预计2017年底完工。届时,码头设计吞吐量为邮轮旅客80万人次/年,客货滚装旅客25万人次/年,车辆3.5万车次/年,客货滚装集装箱2.4万标箱/年,配合未来建设的航站楼,邮轮及客货滚装业务设施条件将迈上新台阶。

河北五年内计划投资400亿 打造航母型港口群


近日,从河北省交通运输厅获悉,河北省为进一步提高秦皇岛港、唐山港和黄骅港的运力,形成功能布局合理、优势互补的航母型港口群,在5年内计划投资400亿元,新增泊位67个,港口吞吐能力突破12亿吨,力争15亿吨,港口吞吐量突破12亿吨;港口集装箱吞吐量完成600万标箱,比2015年实现翻番 ,吞吐能力完成800万标箱,比2015年实现翻番;海运船舶运力达到500万载重吨,比2015年实现翻番。

十二五期间,河北省港口建设实现跨越式发展。据中港网资料显示,过去五年间,河北港口累计完成投资约849亿元,年均投资近170亿元,比十一五期间增长132%。港口新增设计通过能力5.2亿吨,居全国第一位,相当于每年建设一个亿吨大港。

十二五期间,河北水运工程总体质量良好。唐山港曹妃甸港区煤炭码头工程先后获得鲁班奖”“国家优质工程金奖”“詹天佑奖等荣誉称号,实现国家级工程项目建设顶级奖项的大满贯,也成为国内水运行业首个获得此殊荣的项目。

十二五期间,河北省港口结构调整同样成效显著,港口集装箱吞吐能力和吞吐量双双增长,一煤独大局面持续转变。
2015
年,河北省港口吞吐能力首次突破 10亿吨大关,比十一五末增长107%

其中,集装箱泊位通过能力增长迅速,由十一五末的30万标箱提高到十二五末的350万标箱。五年间, 港口集装箱吞吐量累计完成737.9万标箱,是十一五期间的2.81倍。

2015河北全省港口集装箱首次突破200万标箱,达到252.5万标箱,同比增长37.5%,班轮航线达到66条,同比增加8条,分别比十一五末增长4.1倍、3倍。唐山港京唐港区单港吞吐量首次突破100万标箱。

与此同时,煤炭占河北省港口货物吞吐量的比重由十一五末的70%下降至目前的55%。尤其是2015年,在经济下行压力增大的形势下,河北省港口除煤炭以外的其他货种全部实现增长。

全年完成吞吐量9.1亿吨,其中石油、天然气及制品完成2642.7万吨,同比增长6.3%;金属矿石完成2.55亿吨, 同比增长4.3%

十二五期间,蓬勃发展的河北港口还加强了与周边港口的合作发展。津冀两地港航部门在港口统一规划、加强集装箱合作、共同防治津冀海域污染、海事监管一体化、海域资源共享共用方面达成广泛一致,签署了津冀港口发展合作备忘录。20148月,河北港口集团和天津港集团组建渤海津冀港口投资发展有限公司,而开启了冀津港口群无缝对接、转型升级的大幕。 2015年底,该公司收购天津港高沙岭港区通用码头工程(一期)和黄骅港综合港区多用途码头3#4#泊位项目,标志着津冀港口协同发展取得实质性进展。

 Access channel to Suez Canal Container Terminal completed  苏彝士运河一条8.5公里的航道从 Port Said 直接进入 APM 码头经己开通.

A new 8.5km channel allowing large container vessels 24/7 access to APMT’s Suez Canal Container Terminal (SCCT) directly from the waterway has opened in Port Said, Egypt.

Constructed in just three months, the channel avoids the need for vessels up to eight hours vessel convoys transiting the canal. Dredged to a depth of 18.5m, the route can easily accommodate vessels of 18,000 teu capacity and above, says APMT.

Along with the $8.2bn New Suez Canal project completed last year, the latest $40m project “emphasizes the key role that Egypt plays in global trade and the global economy”, SCCT terminal director Jan Buijze said at an inauguration ceremony hosted by the terminal.

Other investments at SCCT include $42m for four new 52m super-post-paamax cranes with a 72m reach, due for for delivery to the terminal in mid-2016, which will bring annual throughput capacity to 5.4m teu. SCCT is also mulling further investments in general and liquid bulk operations in order to meet the needs of Egypt’s growing population.

CHARTERING- Tanker (2016-02-24)

Crude

A very slow week for the VLCCs in general with lacking volumes for most major routes.

The few deals concluded have been under continuous pressure and hence rates softened. Earnings are however still about mid USD 40's/day for MEG/East.

The lack of activity is weighing heavily of sentiments and rates expected to remain under downward pressure. The extensive delays in eastern ports combined with prolonged waiting at BOT could change the supply of tonnage, which again could halt the softening trend. As expected, the market corrected downwards after the spike endured last week for Suezmaxes.

In the Med and Black Sea we have seen quite good activity this week, especially out of Black Sea. List has been looking thinner, and owners trying to push for higher rates, with varied success. Black Sea/Med has ticked up 2.5 point to w102.5, but at the same time in the Med, charterers have held their ground keeping the market just below w100. We are looking at some prompt replacements in the Med, which will most likely go at high numbers, but expect rates on natural dates to remain stable for the week to come.

CHARTERING- Dry bulk (2016-02-10)

CAPE

Cape market remains flat and uninspired. It has been very little volatility this year, and the small changes that appears is mostly driven by the volatile bunker prices. West Australia market dipped again below USD 3 pmt mark this week. The timecharter rate for Pacific rounds is still around the low USD 2000 per day. Brazil to China market is in the mid/high USD 5 pmt level. There is still interest from owners to fix out their tonnage for period as it does pay a big premium to present spot market. Q1 is seasonally the weakest period of the year, but there is limited belief that the market will improve significantly when we do enter Q2.

PANAMAX

The small upswing and positive breeze after Chinese New Year is evaporating. Both hemispheres is in a mixed and uninspiring condition with some optimistic souls still looking for a seasonal upturn. The Atlantic is suffering with lack of fresh requirements, and Owners are crying at poor rates on voyage for TA and Fhaul. A Baltic round at 2750 show the TC return is well above voyage levels. Fhaul is hovering in the 6k range with USG/FEast just >20 pmt and falling. ECSA, which should be growing seasonal, has left the 6500+15 level and is hovering at abt 13 pmt. Aussie rounds done at 2800 from S.China, NOPAC at 3750 but all under pressure. Period interest is limited with 1=year done at uninspiring 4500 on LME.

SUPRAMAX

Fresh inquiries continued to surface this week, although activity not as strong as last week. Rates in both hemispheres have been increasing. Good candidates getting around 4k in the Pacific and rates now above 4k for the Indonesia/India coal run. Aussie RV is fetching mid 3k for vessel del SE Asia. The Atlantic is less active with Continent RV getting around 3k levels. Period trading at a good premium to spot market with late rumours of a new built Ultramax getting around 5k for about one year trading. Nice vessels getting 7k+70bb for ECSA run to Singapore/Japan.

CHARTERING- Gas (2016-02-10)

Although the week has been rather quiet, there has been some activity to report both West and East, and whereas fixtures in the East are done at fixed levels on a declining Baltic index, fixtures in the West has been done on Floating formula basis.

This basically reflects the very difficult and almost impossible trading environment for the moment. In addition to non=existent "arbs" another point of concern for Owners is the current situation in India. Whereas Indian Charterers absorbed some 7 to 9 spot ships on any given month, the number of fixtures in February was three, and the expectation for the month of March is only two. The reason for this is two=fold. Firstly, the Indian VLGC TC fleet will increase from 5 to 7 vessels during the month, and secondly, the port turn=around in Indian ports in general has come off, enabling these Indian Charterers to utilize their "own" ships for their nominated cargoes.

The overall number of VLGCs available for Middle=Eastern cargoes for the month of March is not terribly long, however several trader relets have emerged, and as some of these have been showing interesting ideas (some even interesting enough to be booked out). The combination of all the above has forced the Baltic VLGC Index down almost 5 dollars this week, cutting time charter equivalents down from high to low USD 30,000's per day.
