RISK ALERT FOR CONTAINER CARGO OPERATIONS ISSUED BY STEAMSHIP MUTUAL
The Steamship Mutual has issued a Risk Alert focusing on container cargo operations to highlight that training and reinforcement of safe work practices is of paramount importance not only to ensure an individual’s personal safety but also to ensure that the work area remains safe for others.
The Club notes that incidents involving serious injuries and fatalities during container cargo operations on vessels are not uncommon and refers to contributory factors that can led to an incident and lessons learned from previous cases.
Governor Kathy Hochul said that New York has signed a multi-state agreement to develop a proposal to develop a regional clean energy hydrogen hub.
All parties involved in cargo container operations should recognise their shared interest in ensuring that cargo operations are carried out in a safe and efficient manner. Tools for supporting a safer working environment should include a near miss reporting system to improve safety awareness and a no blame safety culture that encourages the crew to speak out when they observe or experience unsafe working practices.

SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF SHIPS DO NOT COMPLY WITH BASIC NAVIGATION SAFETY REQUIREMENTS IS FINDING FROM THE AMSA FIC
DNV has issued an Approval in Principle for the design of a green ammonia tanker that also runs on green ammonia developed by LMG Marin, Wärtsilä and Grieg Edge.
AMSA conducted a Safety of Navigation Focused Inspection Campaign (FIC) over the period 1 August to the 8 September 2021 and, extremely concerning, they found that a significant number of ships failed to comply to basic navigation safety requirements.
The campaign focused specifically on: – The level of compliance with the safety of navigation requirements of International Conventions;
– The familiarity of the master and officers with their processes for ensuring safety of navigation.
Emirates Team New Zealand and the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron have announced Barcelona as the host venue for the 37th America’s Cup to be held in September and October of 2024.
According to the Egyptian Marine Insurance Consultations & Services, the Suez Canal Authority has announced the imposition of new penalty fine up to $10,000 in certain cases.
The campaign took place as a core part of AMSA’s Compliance Plan for 2021/22 and was scheduled for two months with a target of 200 inspections. Lockdowns in various states, and restrictions implemented to protect AMSA staff and the Australian public, meant that AMSA ceased the campaign early on 8 September 2021, after exceeding its target of 200 inspections.
The FIC results showed that a significant number of ships failed to comply to basic navigation safety requirements. The outcome and findings were: – 278 ships were inspected during the FIC. – AMSA detained 21 ships during the period of the FIC, 7 of which were directly attributed to the safety of navigation FIC. This shows that 33.33% of all detentions during the FIC related to safety of navigation, which is extremely concerning.
