THE CREW NEWSLETTER OF THE BRISE GROUP
DEAR COLLEAGUES
AT SEA AND ASHORE,
It was a proud
moment
when we took
delivery of two
newbuildings
in Shanghai
at the end of
June. MV LINDAUNIS and MV
MAASHOLM were contracted in
autumn of 2007 right before the
industry has experienced in decades.
It was a long, long road
nice ships. Let us join the two
charming godmothers who have
christened the vessels in wishing
the MV LINDAUNIS and MV
MAASHOLM and their crews a
bright future with many happy
and always safe returns. But there
is not only growth on the agenda.
We also sold two heavy-lift/multipurpose
ships, as neither the
-
ing bank were willing to further
support these vessels. At a time
when the existence of substantial
parts of the German Shipping
Community is being questioned
by many, it will take dedicated
efforts to build a future for BRISE
as well. Finding the right answers
to today’s challenges will require
a solid combination of hard work
based on experience and traditional
values, as well as creating
new ideas and partnerships. The
two new container ships set a
good example for this approach,
so let us all keep this course!
Yours faithfully
Kai-Erik Clemmesen,
Managing Partner

The MV BIRK
in the Caribbean
Welcome to the BRISE fleet!
FOCUS The MV MAASHOLM
and the MV LINDAUNIS were delivered in Shanghai by Jiangdong Shipyard
The order for the newbuilding of
these two vessels had already
been placed back in 2007. At the
time the shipping markets were
very different from today. Back
then freight rates were sky-high
and ship owners together with
partners were looking feverishly for
the shipping boom. When Buss
Capital offered to have us become
a partner on their order for sophisticated
ice classed feeder vessels,
we felt that the time was right to
join in on an order for two ships
as a start of a renewal process
for the BRISE container vessels.
Since then we have experienced
the worst crisis for container shipping
ever, and the delivery of the
vessels was only possible due to
bank, our partners and ourselves
as dedicated and optimistic shipping
entrepreneurs.

naming ceremony, f.l.:

and Bartolomiej Pilarkski
The vessels are true sisters and
are fully celled container vessels,
about 151 m in length, 23.40 m in
width and with a draft of 8 m. As
they have both been named after
small towns in the region of the

Flensburg Fjord. The MV LINDAU-
NIS was taken over on the 27th
and the MV MAASHOLM on the
-
emony for both vessels took place
on the 29th of June in Shanghai.
In addition to the two godmothers,
Marina Kölln and Eva Clemmesen,
colleagues, business
from both vessels and representatives
of the yard attended the
ceremony. The MV LINDAUNIS
will start her service under the
command of Master Nishantha

2 BRISE IN BRIEF
BRISE SOLD
TWO VESSELS
Two vessels, which were managed
by BRISE on behalf of
their KG owners, left the fl eet
during the fi rst half of 2012. We
sold the MV EGERNSUND in
Singapore at the end of March
to local Asian buyers who will
convert the ship into a livestock
carrier. The MV SKOLDNAES
was sold to Mediterranean
buyers in June. The ship will
be rebuilt for offshore-related
employment. As a result of the
very diffi cult circumstances in
today's shipping markets, it
was not possible to secure the
necessary funding to maintain
the ships in their present ownership
structures. The crew of
both vessels, which were supplied
through Lydiamar, will be
employed within their crewing
network in the future. We thank
these sailors for their work
during their service aboard the
MV EGERNSUND and the MV
SKOLDNAES.

GROUNDING
In March the HC RUBINA (ex
MV KEGNAES) experienced a
grounding near Messina, Italy,
while travelling from Iskenderun
(Turkey) to Torre Saracena. She
sprang a leak at the bow and
had to be towed to Messina for
massive repairs. BRISE sold the
vessel in December to Hanse
Capital (Germany).
REPORT
An intern’s visit
to the MV CEMISLE
My name is Max Röth, I am 15
years old and I did an internship at
the BRISE offi ce in March. During
this time I had the opportunity to
visit the MV CEMISLE in Brunsbüttel
with superintendent Stefan
Lindberg.
When we arrived and boarded
the ship I was amazed at how big
the vessel was. Before my visit I
assumed the living conditions on
a ship would be rather bad, but
my opinion changed when I saw
the fl at screen TV. In fact, the liv-
ing room was really nice. I want to
thank Mario Cuenco, the cook,
for the very good coffee – it was
appreciated. After Mr. Lindberg
and Captain Andrzej Chudecki
talked about business matters,
the 2nd Off: Bogumil Szeplewicz
showed me around the vessel.
First up was the bridge. I was
very impressed when he showed
me that the vessel was controlled
by joysticks just like the ones used
for video games. The next stop
was the engine room. It was huge
and rather confusing because I
saw lots of pipes and kettles everywhere
I looked. He also showed
me the life raft, the cement bunker
and the system to load the cement.
I really enjoyed the trip and had
a very good time. I would like to
thank the whole crew of the MV
CEMISLE for their hospitality and
especially 2nd Off. Bogumil Szeplewicz
for showing me around!

LAW
New emission control area North America
General view of the North American
Emission Control Area
As we explained in our last edition
when dealing with MARPOL
Annex VI and the regulations for
the prevention of air pollution from
ships, there are several special
emission controlled areas (ECA).
At present these are the North
Sea, the Baltic and as of the 1st
of August, North America as well.
That means that the maximum
limit of Sulphur Oxides (SOx) in the
fuel is now 1%. In January 2015
RECIPE
Georgian
Kebab
The recipe in
this edition is
brought to you
by Cook Jozef
Piotrowski of
the MV KOL-
LUND who has
prepared a kebab
in the traditional
style of the cuisine of Georgia.
Enjoy!
Slice the pork tenderloin into
pieces and marinate it in oil, salt,
cayenne pepper and other spices
of your liking. Prepare and cut
champignons and onions. Stick
the meat on the skewers along
with the champignons, onions
and bacon. Sprinkle with cayenne
pepper. Fry in a pan until it
is ready. Cook the rice and fry it
in a pan mixed with tomato paste
and spices. Prepare a salad with
the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber,
corn, bell peppers, chili peppers,
oil, vinegar and spices. Arrange
everything on a plate and add
peaches.
this limit will be lowered to just
0.1%, while the worldwide limit
is planned to be 0.5% starting in
2020. The area affected reaches
up to 200 nm off the US coast,
except for regions where other
territorial waters are touched (like
Jamaica and Cuba). The new ECA
also includes Hawaii, but does not
include Puerto Rico or the Virgin
Islands. All of our vessels serving
in this region have to comply with
this new regulation. As SOx occur
when burning bunker, emissions
can either be reduced by installing
special fi lters (called scrubbers) in
the exhaust system or by using
only low-sulphur diesel.

New charter
Obtaining new charter contracts
at reasonable rates still remains a
challenge. Yet, luckily at the moment
all our vessels are still underway.
The MV LANGBALLIG continued
its time charter with a German
forest products company in June
and will be employed until at least
the end of September. After having
been redelivered from Jonsson
Trading the MV KOLLUND docked
in Latvia in May and has been serving
in the spot market since then.
As of the end of April the MV CE-
MISLE has a new time charter with
Norcem AS, Norway. For at least
seven months she is scheduled to
transport cement within Norway as
well as to some Baltic and North
Sea ports. The MV SPEEDSTER
has extended her time charter with
Sea-Cargo Skips AS until at least
the end of the year with an option
for two more years. She will be
sailing on a liner service in northern
Europe and the Baltics. The
MV KAPPELN has also extended
her time charter with Seaboard
Marine Limited, Miami, until at least
the middle of October. Her service
area will be between ports within
the Caribbean and the USA.
BRISE IN BRIEF
FIVE QUESTIONS FOR
SOTIROULLA MICHAEL
3
1. When did you start working
for Iona and why?
I started working for Iona in 2006.
I had been working in Crew
Management since 2003, after
fi nishing college. The opportunity
to work in shipping was challenging
and exciting and attracted me
without any hesitation.
2. What exactly are your
responsibilities?
As a Crewing Operator I assist in
recruiting Offi cers and Ratings for
all the ships I am responsible for,
mainly container vessels. Additionally
there is a lot of administrative
work, including ensuring all crew
licences and documents are in
order and up to date. On top of
that, I arrange crew changes.
3. What do you like best
about your job?
I enjoy the fact that I cooperate
globally with all kinds of people of
different nationalities. This involves
a lot of responsibility and initiative,
which I enjoy very much.
4. When you travel, which part
of the world do you like most?
I have travelled quite a lot in Europe
and also to the USA. However
my favourite place up to now
has been Garmisch-Partenkirchen
in Germany. I have been there
three times and have fallen in love
with the place. I have never seen
so many beautiful forests.
5. What do you like to read
in news@BRISE?
I like to read about life on board
and about our multinational seafarers
and their experiences. I also
like the photo gallery.
In this part we introduce
colleagues from all different
parts of BRISE. If you have any
suggestions who might be next
in this column, please send us
an email to news@brise.de

STAFF NEWS
Here is some news from the
BRISE offi ce staff: Freyja Pommerschein
will go on maternity
leave in the middle of July. The
former apprentice Kachina
Barmbold (left photo) has
received a long-term contract
and will now be an integral part
of the Operations team. A new
colleague joined the BRISE offi ce
in April: Stephanie Heggblum
(right photo) is supporting the accounting
team now. She took over
for Paul Kirschner who left the
company at the end of March.
DOCKINGS
After being redelivered from its
time charter with Lars Jonsson
Trading AB, Stockholm, the MV
KOLLUND was docked in Liepaja,
Latvia, for about seven weeks
from April 29th 2012 till June 18th
2012. In addition to her intermediate
class survey, extensive
maintenance and steel work were
carried out.
In July the MV CEMSTAR has
been docking in Montenegro. She
was scheduled for her intermediate
survey. Furthermore a modifi -
cation of the cement discharging
system will be done.
Lots of important data
is collected here: on the
bridge
New noon report gathers
important information
FLEET There have been some important formal changes concerning the noon report. You
might have wondered why. Here is some background information on the reasons and purposes
of the new procedures
As of June 2012 all ships in the
BRISE fl eet are to send noon reports
every day, irrespective of
whether they are at sea or in port.
The content of this report is almost
the same as before. The main difference
is that the data is to be entered
into a special excel fi le and
sent as an attachment. Each fi le
covers a period of one month and
contains all relevant data concerning
the operation of the vessel.
The collection and analysis of this
data is very important for us, both
for internal and external reasons.
Ship Energy Effi ciency
Managemant Plan (SEEMP)
The external reason: As of January
2013 our vessels will be required
to carry a Ship Energy Effi ciency
Managemant Plan (SEEMP). It
is part of an amendment of the
MARPOL regulation Annex VI and
its purpose is to reduce the CO ²
production of new and existing
ships. To measure if the actions
taken through the SEEMP are effective,
the IMO suggests using
the Energy Effi ciency Operational
Index (EEOI = [tons of consumed
fuel] x [CO ² mass conversion factor
for fuel] divided by [cargo x
distance nm]). The aim of these
actions is to decrease the EEOI
value. The data to calculate our
EEOI is taken from the new noon
report. From June to December
2012 we would like to observe
the EEOI of our fl eet before im-
The collection and
analysis of this data
is very important
for us, both for internal
and external
reasons.
plementing actions to reduce the
value. The SEEMP should be on
board no later than for the fi rst renewal
or intermediate class survey
after the 1st January 2013. The
actions which should be implemented
through the SEEMP as
suggested by the IMO include e.g.
improved voyage planning, trim
optimization, hull maintenance
and simple actions like turning off
the light in the room upon leaving
it. At the moment, the regulations
do not require that the SEEMP be
approved by any society and the
content is not defi ned. Whether
the SEEMP is suffi cient will depend
on the judgement of the surveyor
and port state offi cer.
Key Performance Indicators
(KPI)
Internal purposes: During the last
couple of months BRISE management
has worked together with
an external consulting company
in order to develop a Key Performance
Indicator tool for monitoring
our vessels close up. The
performance keys include the
following: safety & environment,
vessels’ equipment performance,
vessels’ voyage performance &
fuel consumption, crew retention
rate, insurance cases, technical
cost per day, reporting near
misses and non-conformities, and
port state defi ciencies. All information
gathered will be entered into
a database to describe the vessels’
performance. This information
will give fl eet management the
opportunity to react promptly if a
vessel’s performance changes.
The crew retention rate helps us to
monitor BRISE’s performance as
an employer. In order to keep you
informed, we will forward an information
letter to all vessels every
three months showing you the results
and how we are performing.
The support from all crew will be
greatly appreciated.

TWO WEEKS WITH SCAN SHIPPING
REPORT After successfully completing her apprenticeship, Kachina Barmbold worked
with BRISE’s sister company, the Scan Shipping GmbH agency in Wismar, for two weeks in
March. Here is what she experienced:
“As a substitute for a colleague on
holiday, I seized the opportunity to
get to know the tasks of a shipping
agency fi rsthand. The colleagues
of the Scan Shipping GmbH agency
in Wismar on the German coast
of the Baltic Sea gave me a warm
welcome. One of the fi rst things
they did was show me around the
port of Wismar, which mainly deals
with wood, (scrap-)metal and cement.
During my stay I dealt with vessels
transporting wood and other forest
products. I helped with registering
the ships with the port authorities
and fi lling in documents for customs
and coast guards. As soon
as the vessels had berthed, we
went on board to hand over the
necessary documents to the authorities.
We oversaw the entire
discharging process from the of-
fi ce and kept track of times and
deadlines.
One incident will stay in my mind
as an unexpected change from the
routine: A crane belonging to one
of the vessels failed and stopped
working. A service technician had
to be called to fi x the crane in order
to continue discharging the large
wood logs from the vessel. It took
three days to fi x the crane properly
and fi nish all cargo operations.
FIGURE OF THE MONTH
It was truly great to be so close to
life at sea and to be able to talk to
the crews. A Norwegian captain
told me how he was the thirdgeneration
in his family to work at
sea and that the sea was ‘the love
of his life’ – only after his wife, of
course.
I can resume that I have learned
a lot during my time in the port of
Wismar and I will never forget this
experience. The job as a shipping
agent is a 24/7 job with a great
responsibility for the seamen on
board and all included parties.
You get in touch with plenty different
and interesting people from all
parts of the world. And last but not
least I would like to thank my coworkers
in Wismar for giving me
this opportunity.”
As of June 2012 Baltrader had transported more than
10 million tons of cement since it took up business

HYDROSTATIC
RELEASE UNIT (HRU)
5
In the event of any emergency
there is a wide range of life-saving
appliances (LSA). However they
can only be reliable if they are
in good condition and properly
maintained, mounted and used. A
good example is the hydrostatic
release unit (HRU) that automatically
launches life rafts, life boats
and EPIRB if a ship suddenly
starts to sink. HRU Hammar H20
is probably the most common
model in the BRISE fl eet. Its construction
is simple and mounting is
very easy. Nevertheless this is not
always done correctly. But why is
that? Most often HRUs are placed
in position when life rafts come
back from the service station
shortly before leaving port. There
is not much time to lug, stow and
secure the life raft, so it is done
without proper attention. Mistakes
also happen when an expired
HRU is exchanged without consulting
the instructions. Maintenance
and care for LSA requires
knowledge and is time-consuming
work. This burden often lies with
the youngest and least experienced
offi cers who sometimes
need some friendly support.
The following guidelines can help
to eliminate mistakes:
■ HRU instructions should be
available in the Training Manual in
all mess rooms
■ Theoretical and practical training
on HRU function, mounting and
use should be included in monthly
SOLAS training for all crewmembers
■ Knowledge comes with practice.
Therefore the least experienced
person on board should be
mounting the unit during trainings
■ The HRU instructions should be
exhibited at the launching station
After an HRU has been assembled
or changed, a high ranking
offi cer should consult the instructions
and verify that the mounting
has been done correctly

A chat with
the Captain
This time we talked to the Master of
the MV BIRK, Andrzej Dominiak (57)
n@B: Did you always want
to become a Master?
Cap. Dominiak: Yes, I think
it is every sailor’s dream to
become a Master one day.
n@B: When did you become
a Master and how
long have you been working
for BRISE?
Cap. Dominiak: I became
a Master 8 years ago and
I have been working for
BRISE for 5 years now.
n@B: What do you like about working for
BRISE?
Cap. Dominiak: I like working for BRISE
because there is a very good relationship with
the BRISE offi ce in Hamburg as well as with the
crewing agents in Szczecin and Limassol.
n@B: Where do you live? Do you have a family?
Cap. Dominiak: I live in Leszno, in the southwest
of Poland. I’m married and I have two
grown-up daughters who are 28 and 24 years
old.
n@B: Where do you like to sail best? Which is
your favourite ocean/region of the world and
why?
Cap. Dominiak: My favourite region in the world
is Asia. I am very interested in these very old
cultures like China, Vietnam and Japan.
n@B: Do you have a favourite port of call? If so,
which one and why?
Cap. Dominiak: I really like the port and the city
of Saigon. I have a lot of classmates there and
they showed me the true Saigon in 1978 and
1979.
n@B: You are currently working in the Caribbean.
Is that a different feeling than, let’s say,
working in the Baltics?
Cap. Dominiak: Not really. Here in Caribbean
we do not have time to see any of the exotic
places because we stay alongside only a few
hours. But the water here is calmer than in the
Baltics.
n@B: What do you like to do during your spare
time on board/at home?
Cap. Dominiak: Due to a short sea passage of
only 6 to 19 hours, I don’t have time for any hobbies
while I am at work. But at home I like my
garden and during the summer I go sailing on
lakes. Kynology is also a great hobby of mine.
n@B: Kynology? What is that? Can you give us
an idea?
Cap. Dominiak: Put simply, Kynology is the science
of dogs. At home I spend a lot of time with
my Golden Retriever, Max.

COUNTRY PROFILE:
LITHUANIA
In this edition of our series on home
countries of our fellow colleagues
we present a short introduction to
Lithuania, the home country of the
MV BIRK’s C/E, Jurij Samarskov.
Name Republic of Lithuania
Population 3.2 million
Capital Vilnius
Language Lithuanian, Polish,
Russian and others
General Information Lithuania is
situated along the Baltic Sea and
bordered by Latvia, Belarus, Poland
and Kaliningrad (Russia). It is the
biggest and most southern of the
three Baltic states. When Mindaugas
was crowned as the fi rst king
in 1253, it was the home of Baltic
tribes. By the end of the 14th century,
Lithuania was one of the largest
countries in Europe, covering
parts of Poland and Russia. As of
1385 Lithuania established a union
with Poland under the leadership
of the Great Duke of Lithuania Jagiello
Kiejstutowicz, which was later
transformed into the Lublin Union.
In 1795 it was conquered by Russia
and it became an independent
republic in 1918. It was occupied by
the Nazis and then was part of the
Soviet Union before it again became
an independent state in 1991, and
a member of the EU in 2004.
Population The largest ethnic
minority group is Polish, and others
include Russians and Belarusians.
The majority of the people are Roman
Catholic.
Culture Lithuanian is one of only
two living languages (with Latvian) in
the Baltic branch of Indo-European
languages. The most popular sport
is basketball. The Lithuanian team
has won several medals and championships
and is ranked number fi ve
worldwide. Music, especially choral
music, is very important and their
main festival is part of the UNESCO
Heritage of Humanity.
