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.

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 />
