Another year is ended and hopefully our efforts in providing analysis, comments, information related (but not limited) to safety, vetting, envi-ronmental, commercial issues have been useful to all readers!
By this number, we devoted the “Remarks to be shared” to the safety related matters.
Each publication, from this one onward, will deal with a specific matter under the safety “umbrella”.
The Academic Lesson continues the excursus of the MARPOL history, especially highlighting mat-ters related to the new requirements of the USA, namely the Environmental Compliance Plan and the negotiation of a plea agreement, these two matters being strictly linked to the Vessel Gen-eral Permit.
The latest introduction of the Vessel General Permit in USA and inspections on board by the US Coast Guard expected to be enforced by early next year, have made the Company to de-cide to organize some courses dealing the mat-ter and mainly addressed to the ship/shore per-sonnel. Courses were held in November this year with a good participation of Company personnel.
As far as the commercial section is related, the carriage of steel cargoes and their implication still continue to be dealt with. Survey procedure explanation and descriptions are briefly intro-duced too and will continue to be analysed with next issue.
The vetting section is highlighting a more posi-tive period in comparison to the previous period examined. This thanks to the efforts provided by the Masters and ship staff on board: neverthe-less to say, it’s of top importance for vessels to be vetted and approved by the major number of

The analyzed occurrence can represent, for any vessel of Premuda fleet, a possible threat to
safety. An effective signaling of mooring lines crossing the deck, has a double function: the
most immediate a concrete is to avoid any possible stumbling or hit onto wires, due to low
visibility of the same, the second purpose is to draw crew’s attention to the potential dan-
gers of the zone in case of snap back of the wire. Present issue is usually highly regarded
by vetting surveyors.

The occurrence in object is a typical example of (sometimes abused
term) lack of safety culture. The lack on which the hazardous occur-
rence is based comes out from very common and routine activity, but
could have been catastrophic consequences in case of a real fire
emergency. Present example show the importance of a deeply
rooted safety culture: hazards can raise also from common activities,
and in these circumstances the most effective way to minimize them
is are well established safe and proactive behavior.

The occurrence give us the opportunity to recall the attention to the environmental objectives established
by the Company for the current year and in particular to the aim of minimize contained spills to a maxi-
mum of two per vessel. It must be highlighted that any similar occurrence is to be considered a warning of
a potential pollution, then the efforts made to comply with the objective are not addressed to the achieve-
ment of mere numerical result but to the fulfillment of an important aspect of Company Philosophy.

Dear all,
We are here commenting results achieved by Premuda ves-sels on Vetting issue mainly in reference to: SIRE Reports performed during SeptemberSIRE Reports performed during SeptemberSIRE Reports performed during SeptemberSIRE Reports performed during September————December December December December 2010201020102010
Following last tremendous quarter already detailed in the last report, Vetting issues changed the course to positive with nine (9) SIRE inspections and one (1) Safety inspection (Repsol, in Cartagena on M/T Four Smile) carried out with final positive assessments.
As everybody well know, the last WIN-TEC 31 (issue 11/10), reviewed after ITM consultancy given on board of two of fleet vessels (namely the Four Island and the Four Bay) and verification of the Office vetting management process, put the attention to vessels readiness to SIRE inspections and mainly to following points:
• Timed advise to Vessel Master of intention to perform a SIRE at next discharging port: this, in in order to allow more time to preparation.
1 Request to perform an internal self-assessment based on SIRE VIQ, on which the Captain or any Senior Deck Officer is auditing the Officer in charge for the specific Chapter. Same for C/E and Engine Officer (mainly on Chapter 11), in order to improve either the basic knowledge of SIRE VIQ and its requirements, either the control on any issue related.
2 The request for any observation received to perform a dedicated CAR and mainly to report with pictures before and after CAR completed so that the reply to OCIMF could be better addressed and explained.
3 The needing to report the observation closing and mainly NCR arisen from analysis of the CARs if any.
Resuming, the Working Instruction is concentrated on two aspects:
1. Prepare the vessel and Staff as much as possible to re-quested items.
2. Be precise as much as possible in case of any observa-tion in order to clear the root causing it.
Four BayFour BayFour BayFour Bay Vessel started again the Vetting activity after the Special Survey and CAP completed in October.

Vessel is performing well either if trend is not very clear. In fact REPSOL Safety inspection performed still under Capt.
Rainò, before changing over to Capt Albamonte, was barely acceptable and forcing the Technical Dept. to several activities in order to address and close few observations that if left open would not lead the vessel to an approval. So the action must be fol-lowed in order to have the vessel always at the best
performance. Expected SHELL/CHEVRON in-spection at next discharge in Cart-agena.

Dear all,
Some more information related to the carriage of steel car-goes…
Cargo CareCargo CareCargo CareCargo Care
• Steel cargoes are easily damaged by salt water. Before loading, test hatch covers for water tightness and repair the covers if leakage is found. After loading and closing hatch covers, apply cross joint wedges before hatch skirt cleats. Additional protection, such as sealing foam and tape, can be applied along hatch cover cross-joints in exposed areas. Avoid loading ballast in wing tanks when holds contain steel. Ballast should be carried only fro trim and stability purposes, and propeller immersion.
• During the voyage, control the dew point in the cargo hold by ventilation.
• Take daily dew point temperatures of hold and outside air with a wet and dry bulb thermometer. Ventilate when the dew point of outside air is less than the dew point of hold air. This will normally occur when cargo is loaded in warmer conditions for delivery to a port (or passage through an area) with colder conditions.
• Keep detailed records of hold and outside air tempera-ture, at the load port, during the voyage and at the dis-charge port. Record times of hold ventilation and of heat-ing fuel in tanks adjacent to holds loaded with steel
Shipowners have an obligation to cargo receivers to deliver cargo in the same apparent condition as loaded (shipped).
Finished steel products can suffer physical damage or rust-ing during transit to the port or during storage at the port.
Finished steel is most problematic because, at the dis-charge port, it is difficult to determine whether the damage occurred before loading or while on board.
Consequently, it is essential to examine finished steel for defects before loading and to identify and record any dam-age or rusting. This information is needed to prove to cargo
receivers that such damage occurred prior to shipment and not on board the ship.
The P&I Clubs usually arrange preloading surveys of fin-ished steel as a means of preventing shipowners facing pre-shipment cargo damage claims where damage occurred before loading.
Generally, Clubs will only want to survey finished steel which includes:
• Hot or cold-rolled steel coils • Steel wire coils • Steel plate, bars, profiles, channels, angles and joists • Sheet steel • Steel pipes Finished steel excludes:
Preloading steel surveys are usually undertaken by survey-ors appointed by the P&I Clubs.
The surveyor has number of duties: the most important is to examine cargo for damage and to advise the master on suitable clauses to endorse on the mate’s receipts and Bill of lading.
However, Surveyor should also examine the ship’s hatch covers, cargo holds and observe stowage, pointing out to the master any hatch cover defects that could give rise to leakage and any other aspect of stowahe that appears in-correct.

• Interference, in this context, relates to the distraction caused by making or re-ceiving mobile phone calls at inappropriate times during the conduct of the ves-sel’s navigation and conning.
• Such activity is liable to demand the attention of bridge personnel when full at-tention should be devoted to the safe and efficient navigation of the vessel.
• Many individuals and organisations with business with the vessel, expect an in-stant response to their phone calls without being aware of the demands this places on the personnel responsible for the vessel’s safe navigation.
• Ship operators are recommended to have procedures in place, in the vessel’s Safety Management System, as part of International Safety Management (ISM) Code compliance, to regulate the usage of mobile phone on ships’ bridges.
• Consideration should also be given to prohibiting all mobile phone usage when navigational requirements demand the individual attention of all those respon-sible for the safe conduct of the vessel.

A close analysis of the

provide evidence in mitigation of any fines that are im-
posed.
ECPs are public documents and can be obtained from the
relevant court or from a US law firm which has access to
such records in electronic form.
ECPs forms vary from case to case depending upon the
nature of the ship operating entity and the size of the fleet.

The EMS requires an environmental policy statement outlin-
ing compliance with environmental requirements compliance with environmental requirements compliance with environmental requirements compliance with environmental requirements whether
statutory, regulatory or voluntary and a commitment to con-
tinuous improvement in environmental performance.
The EMS must contain time frames for achieving compli-
ance with environmental requirements and reducing the risk
of potential pollution from all waste stream, and must be
updated as requirements change.

sponsibilities of the ship’s crew and shoreside personnel
together with third-party service providers.
Procedures must be established for receiving and address-
ing concerns raised by employees regarding environmental
performance and compliance.
All shipboard operations that may have an impact on envi-
ronmental compliance should be identified and managed
with the view to achieving the EMS targets.
Any occurrence that may affect the ship operator’s ability to
achieve these targets should be documented and ad-
dressed, including accident or emergency situations.
Finally, there should be testing and evaluation of the emer-
gency procedures.
