Stena Drilling launches 2nd of 4 state-of-the-art drillships
The drillship was named by Letitia Payne, wife of Dave Payne, VP Drilling and Completions, Global Upstream, Chevron - which will utilise the vessel in a five-year northern European and international drilling campaign.
‘Stena Carron’ is a dual-mast, ultra-deepwater, dynamically-positioned drillship, capable of drilling in water depths of up to 10,000ft and has a total drilling depth of up to 35,000ft. This technologically advanced drilling rig is designed to offer maximum safety and operational efficiency in mild and harsh environments, faster transit speed between locations and greater deck load, to accommodate more equipment.
Tom Welo, Managing Director of Stena Drilling said: “We are delighted to witness the launch of Stena Carron; a magnificent drilling unit designed with the highest capabilities to manage Chevron’s harsh environment and ultra-deepwater drilling campaigns. Our success in the delivery and current operation of Stena Carron’s sister ship, Stena DrillMAX, sets an encouraging precedent and gives us all a great sense of confidence”.
Awareness on safety & training
Mr. Dilip Mehrotra, Deputy Chief Surveyor with the Government of India head of the delegation presented a broad outline about the amendments that were made and other issues that came up for discussion. He explained why the STCW needed to be updated and what was the final outcome.
The amendments on training were presented by Capt M. C. Yadav, Director (Training) of FOSMA. He informed that the major concern of the member countries was with regard some seafarers who were possessing fraudulent certificates. The 27 countries representing the European Union insisted that the certificates be endorsed and attested by the flag states. India desired that in the event of any detection of fraudulent certificates the flag state should be informed. This proposal was accepted.
Capt Yadav informed that a review of the principles for establishing the safe manning levels of ships would be undertaken but there was no likelihood of any major change being effected. On the offshore side the certification of tugs, dredgers, workboat, etc. was proposed and it has been agreed that competency standards would be fixed for electrical, electronic, electro technical officers and taken up at the next meeting. He also mentioned that Model Training courses with regard LNG, ship ballast water, communication & leadership skills, fatigue prevention, mitigation and management, ship sanitation, marine environment awareness and on security matter were on the anvil.
A major issue that came up for discussion was consumption of alcohol and drugs. Since the ship was not only a work place but also a home for the seafarers, countries insisted that alcohol consumption not be banned however, drugs have been banned.
Mr. Rajeev Nayyar, Head Sales and Purchases of Essar Shipping gave the outcome of the proceedings on the Safe Manning Document. He referred to the resolution A 890 (21) with regard to safe manning and the paper that was submitted for review. It was felt that the goal based proposal was preferred rather than being restrictive. Eventually it was decided that a framework be developed for safe manning. A working group was set up for this purpose in which India has a representation.
There was an agreement on two levels of training to familiarise candidates in oil and chemical tankers and another for gas tankers. It was also accepted that advance fire fighting should not be mandatory as was suggested by India. Another approval that received acceptance was the certification at support level approved for sea service in engine room and deck side.
Next was a brief on the review of STW 39. Capt K. N. Deboo, Principal of Anglo Eastern Maritime Training spoke about the review of Chapter IV, V and VII that took place. He informed that a debate ensued on whether electronic or electro-tech personnel training requirement be included in Chapter III and Chapter IV. The august body decided that training requirement for Electronic officer be included as a separate section in Chapter III and familiarisation training in Section B-1/14.
Capt M. M. Saggi, Nautical Adviser to the Government of India who chaired the session on maritime safety gave a brief on what the IMO role was and how the different convention took shape. He also indicted the function of the apex body and how they committees operated.
Bringing into focus the human element on ISO code, Mr. A. Banerjee, P. O. cum Jt. D. G. pointed out that the major principles laid down involves the entire spectrum of human activities performed by ship’s crew, shore based management and regulatory bodies, ship owners, etc.
He said the recent Maritime Safety Committee meeting noted that seafarers were afraid to lose their jobs if they raised issues of safety concern. Hence it was agreed that a seafarer’s representative would be selected or elected who could be a crew member and will not be subject to dismissal or adverse action. On another aspect of safety it was agreed that if a ship’s safety management certificate expired it would be given 3 months extension. In a move to enhance safety it was decided that internal audit be carried out on board annually and this be documented. A contentious proposition was made by the International Chambers of Shipping and it was that every body has to have a generic tanker familiarisation course before he has anything to do with a tanker.
Capt J. S. Uppal, Deputy Nautical Adviser, Government of India made a presentation on the Implementation of the Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT). He informed that this would start from 1st January 2009 from the DGS office in Mumbai. He explained on how it operated and that it would apply for all vessels. India would have its own National Data Centre and a Regional Data Centre.
On the side of the industry Capt K. S. Nair, Sr. Vice President, SCI talked on the “Industry’s concern on Implementation of LRIT”. He gave an update about how various countries were expected to implement it and what the implication would be if countries failed to do so.
The seminar gave an opportunity to the India’s representative on the IMO to interact and get the opinion of the trade. Accordingly, they would be taking up the issue in the right perspective at the IMO.

Seascapes - Container shipping - logistic liners
Containerships were technology's answer to the problem of long stays in port as cargo - packed in bales, barrels, crates, boxes and loose, was slowly loaded and unloaded in lower holds and tweendecks using gangs of dozens of dockers. It was not uncommon for a typical 15,000 ton cargo liner to spend 170 days each year in port and a ship in the Australasian trades could spend two months on the coast, after a month's voyage from Europe. This was inefficiency which encouraged innovation. The container revolution effectively abolished all the expensive and time-consuming handling that was done to goods, in and out of lorries, trains and warehouses. Loaded into a 20 ft. or 40 ft. container at the point of origin and sealed, the goods will not be seen again until they are delivered to their final destination. To handle the containers and speed them on their way, a whole logistic system has been developed from specialist road and rail transport, ground handling equipment, like straddle carriers and huge gantry cranes in the port terminals. And of course, the remarkable ships themselves.
The biggest deep sea ships today are able to carry nearly a staggering 7,000 twenty foot equivalent units (the TEU being a universal measurement of containerisation), slotted into racks in the holds of the ship and stacked up to five high on deck. The ships themselves are fast, 25 knots not being unusual, but most importantly, they are far more precise and hugely more productive than their conventional predecessors. They will typically sail on a set hour on the same day of a week, often meeting trains which will on-carry the containers, so that consignees miles inland will be able to depend upon same-day delivery in a way that has never been possible before. This reliability makes it possible for manufacturers or retailers to greatly reduce the amount of stocks they are forced to carry, which saves substantial sums.
Large container ships tend to minimise their port calls, restricting them to "hub" ports along their route, the containers being distributed to other regional ports by smaller feeder ships. A single shore gantry crane can handle from 20-30 lifts per hour, so port calls are generally measured in hours rather than days.
Container shipping is a high technology, capital intensive operation, with heavy reliance on IT; computers being used to plan the stowage, to minimise handling of containers. The most modern container terminals now use a high degree of automation for movement of boxes from the shore container stack to the ship's side. Recent years have seen containership sizes react to scale economies, with the "1st generation" ships of 1,200 TEU having now grown to an average in excess of 5,000 TEU on the deep sea trades. Giants of 10,000 TEU plus are now being planned.

Seascapes- Composite construction
Composites have developed hugely in recent years, man-made materials which can literally be developed to produce certain desired characteristics. The modern airliner looks outwardly like its aluminium predecessor, but very large parts of it are of composite construction, where great strength and lightness can be programmed into a building material. The wings of the giant, double decked, new Airbus A 380 are, for instance, almost entirely constructed of composites. The re-usable fuel tanks of the space shuttles, which are designed to withstand enormous heat and strong enough to withstand an impact with the sea after falling several miles, are of composite, where no steel could cope with such punishment. Whatever characteristic - strength, thinness, lightness, ductility, rigidity, malleability, heat or cold resistance is required, a composite can be fashioned to provide it.
To date the maritime world, probably because of the cost of working with these new materials, has barely been touched by composites. Naval architects have explored their possibilities for some years, but mainly in the context of racing yachts, and modern Americas Cup craft will be almost entirely constructed of Kevlar and other artificial composite materials, where lightness and strength will be combined.
Warship builders are becoming increasingly interested in composite structures and materials, notably for fast craft, where the qualities of lightness and ability to withstand punishment are seen to be interesting. Armour plate, which disappeared with the demise of the battleship, is being once again investigated.
Enthusiasts for composites suggest that while the commercial maritime world may not be quite ready for a composite ship, there are attractions in using these materials for certain parts of the vessel. Bulker hatch covers, which have to be made immensely strong to withstand wave loadings and are thus increasingly massive and heavy, could provide the same strength at a fraction of the weight. Areas of the ship which were prone to damage from the sea, notably in the forepart of a ship could be reinforced by composites. And the cost of composites is on a downward slope, which could make this material more attractive to ship designers in the not so distant future.

ODC forced to take the tortuous route
Unfortunately the road is littered with corrupt practices, procedural delays, obstacles poor road condition and lack of infrastructure, the past few years have seen several operators entering the field to grab a share of the growing pie. As the pie keeps growing more players are entering the fray.
Traditionally called over-dimensional cargo (ODC), it has taken on a wider focus and is also commonly known as project cargo. According to Mr. Nilesh Gandhi, Director, Express Transport Pvt. Ltd., handling project cargo is a professional task requiring technical expertise, an experienced team, and the right people on the job, infrastructure, and hands-on management.
Mr Pawan Agarwal, Director of India based MFC Transport Pvt. Ltd. says “There is not much competition in this field. This is because most of the time operators find that it is not practical or feasible to handle such heavy cargo. Considering the constraints one has to operate within and the distress and the disappointment that we have to put up with having to deal with the bureaucracy, no one wants to get into this field.”
Transporting ODC is a long drawn-out process according to Mr Lawrence Fernandes, National Manager – Industrial Projects Operations of Hindustan Cargo Ltd., which has handled imports of lube reactors, generators, rotors and large size equipment for ABB, NTPC, IOL, HPCL etc. Most of the bridges in India are not standardised with overhead clearance that could range between 19 to 24 feet, he points out. Few bridges can take a load of over 150 metric tons. Much time is lost in acquiring permission from several different authorities.
“We have to do a dry run before undertaking any ODC transport,” says Mr. Fernandes. “PWD permission is necessary for cutting telephone wires. If high tension wires or any other such electrical wiring has to be removed to make way, then we need to approach the Electric department. If the power lines are connected to the National grid then we have to approach the proper authorities in the Government informing them about the time that will be required to undertake the crossing. If the cargo has to be moved over railway crossings over which trains like the Rajdhani travels, the train tracks and over head wire have to be removed.
“We have to ensure that the costing is correct; otherwise we could end up losing money and suffer,” says Mr Gandhi. “When we suffer our customers suffers as well. Hence, it is important that every aspect is crossed-checked and examined thoroughly, debated, questioned and surveyed. For instance, just because someone has been able to transport an over-dimensional package of say 6 metres, it does not always follow that one can transport a 6.1 metre package.”
Project transportation would include shutdown of power lines, shutdown of telephone lines, strengthening of bypasses and bridges, other obstacles such as trees or wires and other hurdles coming in the way may have to be removed or it may involve dismantling a railway crossing. In cities many islands at road crossings often have to be removed and rebuilt after the ODC has passed.
“Some bridges may be weak and we may have to strengthen them. Alternatively, an alternate route being longer would involve higher diesel consumption. The detour may also involve constructing a bypass. A river crossing would mean taking permission from the Inland Waterways Authority to build a jetty and seek permission from the local authorities for the crossing with the use of pontoons.”
Mr. Shivraj Tiwari, Manager for Logistics Operation of Premier Transport says, “Transport of very heavy consignments is done by hydraulic-axle trailers using prime movers with high engine capacity. Depending on the weight of the cargo multi-pullers are employed especially on gradients. There is no limit to the weight of the cargo that should be carried since by using hydraulic trailers with multiple axles the weight can accordingly be divided. Cranes and other heavy lift equipment are available with us in case of necessity. We carry metal sheet ramps for use in places where the trailer has to pass over soft terrain. But many operators prefer to hire out the equipment rather than owning them.”
There is a need for a standard procedure for ODC. “In Gujarat a high cube container at one point of time was not treated as standard cargo and was subjected to fines,” says Mr. Gandhi. “So if high cube cargo is treated as non standard cargo how does one move project cargo. All procedures are made to function according to the whims and fancies of the officers seated at different points and they are the law because there are no set rules and regulations in place.”
Today for example, Gujarat has a ridiculous law that if transporters use a crawler crane within the state – which would normally be used in private premises like a project, the authorities force such crawler crane (which do not have a registration number) owners, users and operators to pay an RTO tax. If it is not going to ply on a public road what are the grounds for its registration with the RTO. In short, when it comes to transporting ODCs every state is exploiting the public. Even if someone comes forward to pay the tax voluntarily he is made to cough up the tax for the past three years without any justification. Besides he is told that taxes and penalties are extra. So there cannot be a defined project cost.
Most agree that the government is the real reason for creating a nightmare for project cargo because every district and every state has its own procedures for the transportation of ODC cargo. The authorities need to wake up to the reality and bring in some consistency if the economic boom is to continue.
