MONTHLY COMMUNIQUE FOR <strong>EXECUTIVE</strong> SHIP MANAGEMENT PTE LTD, SINGAPORE<br />

MAIN NEWS<br />

Navigational Safety Campaign focuses on Human<br />

Element<br />

There are several causes that can rupture<br />

the merchant navy transport chain, with<br />

undesired consequences. This could<br />

be a result of unsolved mechanical or<br />

electrical problems, severe weather,<br />

errant human behaviour or performance<br />

amongst others. However, the human<br />

element is one of the most important<br />

contributory effects to the causation<br />

and avoidance of accidents.<br />

Hence to draw attention and raise awareness<br />

amongst the crew members on board our<br />

fleet, ESM launched an extensive six month<br />

long campaign focused on eliminating the<br />

human element behind navigational safety on<br />

30th December 2016. During each month, a<br />

single module involving human elements will<br />

be covered, namely, Navigational Briefings,<br />

Challenges & Response, Situational Awareness,<br />

Decision Making & Short Term Strategy,<br />

Attitudes & Error Management and Team State<br />

& Automation.<br />

For each module, vessels will receive a<br />

presentation slide along with two case studies<br />

and a poster to be placed on the bridge. During<br />

the first week, bridge team members are required<br />

to read through the materials received for that<br />

month. At the end of that week, selected<br />

representatives from the bridge team will present<br />

the case to all bridge team members; an activity,<br />

that promotes knowledge sharing, confidence<br />

on subject matter and team bonding amongst<br />

others. Masters of the vessel can use this time to<br />

address incorrect practices and thoughts.<br />

After the activity, the Implementation phase<br />

starts and will go on for the following three<br />

weeks until the end of the month. During this<br />

phase, superintendents or managers (Master<br />

Mariner) from ESM office will take feedback from<br />

the bridge team members either during their ship<br />

visit or through telephone call around the last<br />

week of the month.<br />

The campaign has been designed keeping in<br />

mind the responsibilities of each and every<br />

sailing staff on board and to cover all safety<br />

aspects. Success of the campaign depends on<br />

the active participation of the entire crew. All<br />

team members are encourage to implement this<br />

activity in the right spirit.<br />

SAFETY MOMENT OF THE MONTH<br />

A Small Spill Gives<br />

Important Lessons<br />

** Note : This monthly safety moment is collected from various sources for educational<br />

purpose and is not necessary an actual incident from the ESM fleet.<br />

An oil tanker, fully loaded with<br />

crude oil, was berthed and ready for<br />

discharge. Prior to discharge operations<br />

a safety meeting was conducted<br />

and the ship-shore safety checklist<br />

completed between the vessel and the<br />

terminal. Discharge commenced with<br />

three cargo arms. The deck, manifold<br />

and pump room were closely observed<br />

for any leaks. Discharging pressure was<br />

then increased without any signs of<br />

abnormalities.<br />

TAs discharge continued, a deck watchman<br />

became aware of a black stain on the top of one<br />

of the shore cargo arms, although he did not<br />

see any actual leakage. He informed the cargo<br />

control room and the information was passed<br />

to the fire and safety watchman and the shore<br />

terminal.<br />

Later, terminal staff arrived on board. With<br />

vessel staff, they tried to identify the reason<br />

for the stain. Shortly thereafter it was observed<br />

that oil was dripping from the shore cargo arm<br />

to the deck and manifold drip tray. Terminal<br />

staff stopped the leakage by pulling the vacuum<br />

relief valve handle. The discharge operation was<br />

not stopped, because everyone was convinced<br />

the source of the leak had been corrected. The<br />

vacuum relief valve and all shore cargo arm<br />

systems were kept under close scrutiny until the<br />

end of discharge operations with no further leaks<br />

observed.<br />

During further investigation and checks by the<br />

terminal staff on their systems some oil was<br />

spotted on the water between the vessel and<br />

shore; some cargo had dribbled down from the<br />

shore cargo arm during the leakage from vacuum<br />

relief valve, probably less than one litre. The oil<br />

residue was quickly cleaned by shore<br />

staff.<br />

The cause of this incident was the<br />

leaking vacuum relief valve located<br />

at the top of one of the loading arms, an area<br />

not easily visible. Apparently, this deficiency had<br />

been known to exist by shore authorities. Some<br />

stains were also seen on one of the other shore<br />

arms, though no actual leakage was observed<br />

there during cargo operations.<br />

Lessons Learned<br />

• Since the vessel crew do not have specific<br />

knowledge about shore cargo arms, any<br />

potential risks should be discussed and<br />

highlighted to crew by the terminal during the<br />

pre-discharge safety meeting.<br />

• For oil cargo operations, when any unusual<br />

event is encountered or suspected all<br />

operations should be stopped and the event<br />

fully investigated.<br />

• Any apparent deficiencies of shore equipment<br />

seen by ship’s crew should immediately be<br />

reported to the Master and port authorities.

Letter of the Month<br />

Almost in a blink the first month of the year flew away and here we<br />

are writing for the second and the shortest month in yet another year.<br />

January was indeed the month of festivities and holidays but that did not<br />

stop our Quality department to launch their “Safety campaign” for next<br />

six months to keep everyone reminded on their responsibilities towards<br />

safety for all. Our main story got to be none other than that!<br />

We wish all on board the very best for an enthusiastic participation and as<br />

always the newsletter will be updating the progress of the campaign as well as<br />

announcing the winners and high achievers in due course.<br />

In our endeavor to provide general health awareness with interesting news and<br />

reports in the health sector, this issue once again brings to you an eye opener on<br />

healthy eyes. Regular eye checkups and more importantly the food and exercise<br />

are important in keeping your eyes healthy.<br />

We are also pleased to include an optimistic news on the recovery and thriving of<br />

marine life after the earthquake and tsunami in the pacific coastline of Japan in<br />

March, 2011. A research by the marine biologists have brought out how the eco<br />

system revived and flourished within three years due to favourable conditions!<br />

We have given a new makeover to our publications and as you may notice there<br />

are certain omissions and additions to the old newsletter. We would look forward<br />

to any feedback or comment from our readers on the new look and the revised<br />

contents. Please feel free to send in your views and even any contribution to the<br />

newsletter. We are indeed happy to add in a report and pictures of the Christmas<br />

and New year celebration at FS Endevor. Many thanks to Capt. Mahendra<br />

Singh for sharing the family time of the crew on board. We do hope for similar<br />

contributions from rest of the fleet in future.<br />

Till we meet next month, Remain safe and happy sailing,<br />

TECHNICAL NEWS<br />

Cargo Tank Bottom Pitting on Oil – Chemical Ships:<br />

Problems of pitting and Corrosion of<br />

Cargo tank bottom plates and Cargo<br />

pump bellmouth/ wells lead to costly<br />

off-hire, cargo claims and repair requirement,<br />

leading to huge loss to owners’. It<br />

reflects poor inspection procedures and<br />

lack of knowledge or application from<br />

ship and shore staff.<br />

Ignoring a small coating damage or pitting<br />

during a cargo tank inspection, may eventually<br />

grow up as a hole in the cargo tank, as subsequent<br />

tank entry/ inspection may be only after<br />

6 Months or a year. There could also be the<br />

odd situation where some may make the report<br />

without making a tank entry or inspection. Cargo<br />

may find ingress to Water Ballast tanks or<br />

a hole in RST where dirty slop may find way to<br />

Cargo tank underneath.<br />

It is thus imperative that proper precautions and<br />

thorough inspection is carried during each inspection.<br />

The problem most commonly starts with cavitation<br />

damage to the coating in the suction well.<br />

As soon as cavitation exposes the underlying<br />

steel, galvanic corrosion steps in and drives the<br />

pitting process. Since Framo pumps are in Stainless<br />

steel, they provide a relatively large cathode<br />

surface area for corrosion of what are considerably<br />

smaller areas of exposed mild steel. It is<br />

worth noting that the pitting process requires an<br />

electrolyte which is provided by the salt water<br />

residual of tank washing and/ or cargo tank ballasting<br />

(in case of COT No. 4 P & Stbd).<br />

A close check of cargo tanks condition and integrity<br />

of cargo paint must be carried out regularly<br />

with particular attention to the cargo pump<br />

well area. Each paint failure must be immediately<br />

repaired with epoxy putty and touched up. At<br />

the time of cargo tanks inspections, the heating<br />

coil conditions must be carefully checked for pitting/<br />

corrosion and a detailed report must be sent<br />

to the technical office. In general, the frequency<br />

of inspections of cargo tanks should be increased,<br />

i.e. the tanks should be inspected whenever there<br />

is the opportunity, obviously following all the<br />

safety precautions for tank entry.<br />

The use of Ballast in Cargo Tanks must not be considered<br />

a “heavy ballast condition”, but should be<br />

limited only to those emergency situations when<br />

sea worthiness may be severely affected. After<br />

emergency ballast operations and tank washing<br />

operations it is advisable to rinse the tanks with<br />

fresh water as far as possible.<br />

The cargo pump suction well must be kept dry<br />

as far as possible, in order to avoid the presence<br />

of an electrolyte between the pump and suction<br />

well. Hence an accurate cargo tank stripping after<br />

discharge operations is to mop dry the suction<br />

well after tank washing operations as far as<br />

possible.<br />

CASE-i<br />

Pitting damage in Cargo<br />

Tank top. The reason<br />

for the damage to<br />

the paint coating<br />

is not confirmed.<br />

This can<br />

be due to poor<br />

application at<br />

the time of new<br />

building or due<br />

to falling debris<br />

at the time of removal of staging after completion<br />

of painting at new building yard.<br />

Over a period of time the damaged coating<br />

has allowed the metal beneath to rust. On<br />

descaling the rusted surface were found to have<br />

4-5mm deep pittings.<br />

CASE-ii<br />

Pitting damage at bell<br />

mouth area, below the<br />

framo pump impeller<br />

is common sight on<br />

product and chemical<br />

tankers. Above<br />

photo shows<br />

pitting damage,<br />

depth approx.<br />

10mm. The thickness of the plate is 14mm.<br />

On general observation, this may look like<br />

lump of dirt accumulated under the bellmouth.<br />

On reaching out and feeling with<br />

finger tips, actual depth of the pitting can<br />

be gauged. During tank inspections, senior<br />

and experienced officer should inspect and<br />

feel with his hands if pitting damage is existing<br />

or not. All STX and HMD vessels have<br />

Ballast tanks under the COT. Pitting damage can<br />

lead to oil pollution and also cargo claims due to<br />

water ingress. Ig is very important that COT tank<br />

inspection regime should be seriously followed<br />

and any observation noted, should be informed.<br />

Case-iii<br />

Pitting damage under the bell mouth, on General<br />

examination,<br />

it seems like only<br />

the top coating is<br />

damaged or rust<br />

accumulation in the<br />

bell mouth. On closer<br />

examination, the<br />

pitting damage is to<br />

an extent of 10mm.<br />

Repair Procedure - The damaged coating area is<br />

de-rusted with sandering machine (never use jet<br />

chisel) and metal surface is brought to bare metal<br />

state.<br />

The surface preparation should be such that edges<br />

of the grinded area should not be very sharp.<br />

If the pitting is 2~3 mm, same can be repaired by<br />

filler putty, followed by two coats of barrier and<br />

finally the final coat. Total thickness of the paint<br />

coating should be at least 300~400 dft. Pitting<br />

area with depth above 3mm should be filled by<br />

welding using welding rod - LH314.<br />

The pitted area has been<br />

grinded and filled up by<br />

welding using LH-314 electrode.<br />

Nova-5000 barrier + putty<br />

applied on the repaired<br />

area. 3-4 coats of final<br />

coating applied to increase<br />

the DFT of the final paint<br />

protection.<br />

Vessel shall always maintain one pack of 2.5mm,<br />

one pack of 3.2 mm of LH 314 welding electrodes<br />

and 10 kg ROB of NOVA 5000 barrier putty from<br />

Chugoku, which comes with filler putty, two packs<br />

of primer (hardener and epoxy), plus final coat.

ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS<br />

Marine Biologists Observe Sea Life After The 2011<br />

Tsunami<br />

Environmental catastrophes such as<br />

cyclones, earthquakes and tsunamis<br />

create devastating effects for not<br />

just life on land but as well as on sea.<br />

Such extreme events might cause an<br />

overhaul of the ecosystem changing the<br />

community structure and compositions.<br />

Studies from the past have suggested<br />

that a tsunami catastrophe either buries<br />

or erodes the various habitats existing<br />

on and below the seafloor. Hence it is<br />

a rare and unique opportunity to study<br />

the immediate, prolonged effects and<br />

recovery of the marine ecosystem.<br />

The Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011<br />

resulted in the Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami<br />

which struck the 2000km Pacific coastline of<br />

eastern Japan. Along the coast on the northern<br />

islands, extensive land build up was generated<br />

due to the funnel shaped bays around which<br />

amplified the tsunami waves. This eroded the<br />

seafloor sediments from massive depths of 10-<br />

20 metres. A research study was conducted<br />

beginning two months until the next five years of<br />

the tsunami and the effects on the coastal fauna<br />

with its recovery was collected.<br />

The data collected by these researchers found<br />

a progression in the recovery and thriving of<br />

sea life. The smaller fishes were the first to be<br />

observed, even though they had shorter lifespans.<br />

These fishes recovered faster due to the available<br />

abundance of rich nutrients and sediments<br />

displaced by the calamity. Due to the absence<br />

of any predators and shorter reproductive cycles<br />

the smaller fishes thrived under such conditions.<br />

Subsequently bigger fishes recovered as well, that<br />

had longer lifespans and preyed on the smaller<br />

fish, thereby balancing the ecosystem. It was<br />

also observed that there was a gradual increase<br />

in the body lengths of the fishes which suggests<br />

that the environmental conditions facilitated<br />

the recovery. Eventually there were periods of<br />

invasions by other species and were greatest in<br />

the areas that suffered more destruction during<br />

the tsunami.<br />

Blooms of moon jellyfish and sea cucumber<br />

were observed to increase from the second<br />

year onwards, after the disaster. The research<br />

concluded by observing that it took three years<br />

after the tsunami, for the habitat and ecosystem<br />

to recover.

MIND YOUR BODY<br />

Keeping Your Eyes Healthy<br />

Protecting your eyesight as you age is<br />

an essential part of your health care.<br />

According to the American Academy<br />

of Ophthalmology (AAO), age-related<br />

diseases such as macular degeneration<br />

(part of the retina that processes light<br />

deteriorates), cataract (the lens of your<br />

eye becomes cloudy) and glaucoma<br />

(pressure in the eye damages the<br />

optic nerve) are the leading causes of<br />

blindness and low vision.<br />

IDr. Pamela Lowe, a highly sought after speaker<br />

for optometric conferences and author of several<br />

respected articles for eye health says “when<br />

you’re seeing well and have no irritation, it’s<br />

easy to forget about going to the eye doctor; If<br />

you wait until you notice a problem, it can be too<br />

late.”<br />

There are plenty of simple things that one can<br />

do each day to keep the vision clear and eyes<br />

healthy:<br />

Getting Regular Eye Check-Ups<br />

Regular eye exams are particularly important,<br />

because an early diagnosis can limit any vision<br />

loss and help preserve your eyesight. Adults,<br />

especially those over 40, should have yearly eye<br />

exams, to prevent age-related ocular conditions<br />

including macular degeneration and glaucoma.<br />

If you start noticing changes in your vision, see<br />

your eye doctor immediately too. Some troubling<br />

signs to look for are double vision, hazy vision<br />

and difficulty seeing in low light conditions.<br />

Other signs and symptoms of potentially serious<br />

eye problems that warrant immediate attention<br />

include red eyes, frequent flashes of light,<br />

floaters, and eye pain and swelling.<br />

Eating Right<br />

Dark leafy greens like spinach, kale and Brussels<br />

sprouts, as well as dark berries, like blueberries<br />

and blackberries, are rich in lutein, a type<br />

of carotenoid that protects against macular<br />

degeneration. Cold-water fish such as salmon,<br />

tuna, sardines and mackerel are rich in omega-3<br />

fatty acids, which may help protect against dry<br />

eyes, macular degeneration and even cataracts.<br />

Foods such as carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers,<br />

strawberries, pumpkin, corn and cantaloupe are<br />

excellent sources of vitamins A and C. A wellbalanced<br />

diet also helps you stay at a healthy<br />

weight. That lowers your odds of obesity and<br />

related diseases like type 2 diabetes, which is the<br />

leading cause of blindness in adults.<br />

Quit Smoking<br />

The many dangers of smoking have been well<br />

documented. When it comes to eye health, people<br />

who smoke are at greater risk of developing agerelated<br />

macular degeneration, cataracts, uveitis<br />

and other eye problems. In fact smokers are four<br />

times more likely to develop AMD and smoking<br />

even impairs the effectiveness of AMD treatment.<br />

In addition to this a smoker’s risk of developing<br />

cataracts goes hand in hand with the number of<br />

cigarettes smoked - those who smoke heavily are<br />

likely to develop more severe cataracts.<br />

Relaxing your eyes<br />

The more we concentrate, the drier our eyes<br />

become. Use the 20-20-20 rule to let your eyes<br />

rest: Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away or more<br />

for at least 20 seconds. It helps break the eyes’<br />

constant strain of focusing from doing close work,<br />

like reading or looking at a computer monitor.<br />

And always be sure that you’re a comfortable<br />

arm’s distance away from what you’re looking at<br />

or reading, says Dr. Lowe.<br />

Another exercise involves shifting focus between<br />

your fingertip and something across the room<br />

five to 10 times. “This helps maintain flexibility<br />

of the muscle tissues that encircle your lenses<br />

and control your range of focus,” says Leonard J.<br />

Press, O.D., an optometric physician in Fair Lawn,<br />

New Jersey.<br />
