As families of the 18 Indians aboard the hijacked vessel MT Stolt Valor wait with fingers crossed, the ship's Mumbai-based manning agent said the ship's master had sent an email on Thursday informing them that "the crew had been confined to the ship's wheelhouse but were being allowed to attend to their daily needs. But, only under the close supervision of the hijackers".
According to the family of the Dehradun-based master, P K Goyal, he had also called his residence on Thursday.
"He told me that they were safe and I should look after the family and stop worrying," said Goyal's wife Seema. Goyal had also called her on Monday and informed about the hijack.
Officials from the ship's manning agent, Ebony Ship Management, said the vessel had arrived at the port of EYL on the east coast of Somalia under instructions from the hijackers.
Of the 18 Indians on board, the passports of 13 sailors were made in Mumbai. "Most of them are believed to be from the state and nearby regions. We believe that three sailors are from the city," said an official.
The vessel's Japanese owners have appointed a professional negotiator to engage into a dialogue with the hijackers. "An average hijack negotiation takes around 30 days and we haven't received information about the exact demands as yet," said Sunil Puri of Fleet Management, the ship's managers.
Officials from Fleet Management also added that the vessel, carrying a cargo of 23,818 tonnes of oil products, had been hijacked from the designated safety corridor despite the master having taken the precaution of keeping the vessel close to the northern limit of the corridor, the farthest from the Somalian coast.
Meanwhile, family members of the crew spent yet another day of uncertainty. Wiper Dipak Kumar Tandel's family, which lives in Valsad in Gujarat, was relieved after they heard about the email. "We were going to find a bride for him when he returned," said Dipak's uncle Pitambar. "I spoke to Dipak a week ago when the ship was in the Suez Canal. After that, we haven't heard his voice," he said.
Mumbai-based Rosary Fernando, whose brother-in-law Panirayan Lobo is on the ship, on Thursday visited the offices of the Directorate General of Shipping and the National Union of Seafarers of India (NUSI) but failed to get any information. "We don't know who to approach and how to go about it. We cannot achieve anything single-handedly," said Fernando.
Even the captain's family is finding themselves in the same position. "He said they were not being tortured," said Seema, Goyal's wife.
Goyal's daughter Ayushi (11) said her father was brave and would see through the ordeal. "He would return home before my examinations start later this month. I am confident that he will come back soon," she said.

Castrol Competition takes centre stage at MERI
The country’s only competition extravaganza in the maritime sector took centre stage at the Marine Engineering & Research Institute, Mumbai on September 16, 2008. Keenly contested by cadets from leading marine engineering institutes the contest was organised by the MERI, Mumbai in collaboration with M/s. Castrol India Ltd. Over the years the annual event has seen the competition gaining in popularity drawing in larger numbers of participants and spectators.
The chief guest and chief judge for the occasion Mr. M.V. Ramamurthy, president of Reliance Shipping lauded the participants who made excellent presentations of Technical Papers. All the judges noted the high standard of the presentations and expressed happiness over the quality of the papers. The contest has seen a marked improvement over the previous years besides greater participation. However, they insisted that the cadets should put in more efforts to keep improving the presentations further.
This year’s annual event saw cadets from M.E.R.I., Mumbai - G.M.E. & B.Sc (Maritime Science) cadets, Tolani Maritime Institute, Maharashtra Academy of Naval Education & Training (MANET), Samudra Institute of Maritime Studies participated in the competition. Five papers had been short-listed at an elimination round held a week earlier.
These were:
Latest developments in 2 stroke marine engines;
Hazards encountered by double hull tanker;
Impact of low sulphur fuel on shipping Industry;
Steps taken by Engine manufacturers to reduce emission from Sea-going ships;
Bio-degradable lubricants - future of Marine Lubrication needs.
It was the group led by cadet Durgesh Kumar Singh (B.Sc.-76) that won the First Prize of Rs 40,000/- their paper titled ‘Steps taken by Engine Manufacturers to reduce emission fro sea going ships’. They informed that the objective of International Maritime Organisation (IMO) was to bring down sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides fumes. These were being achieved by modifying fuel injection systems, improving the nozzle system design, using common rail technology, alpha cylinder lubricators, and Alpha adaptive cylinder oil control system. Also reduction was being achieved by exhaust gas recirculation, and by fuel water emulsion.
The Second prize of Rs 32,000/- was won by the group led by cadet Krishnendra Pratap Singh (G-1773) for their paper on ‘Bio-degradable lubricants - future of Marine Lubrication needs. They highlighted the fact that bio-lubricants would be in great demand in the near future. This will escalate the demand of oil seeds. Farming of oil seed will substitute food grains such as wheat and rice due to high demand and profit margin association with them.
The group led by cadet Aravindhan R. (G-1791) won the third prize of Rs 24,000 for their paper ‘Hazards encountered by double hull tankers’. They pointed out that although they are regarded as an answer to all problems of transport of oil at sea without pollution and have some advantage over single hull however, their design is important to ensure better maintenance and operation. Because of their complex design and structure they are potentially more susceptible to problems caused due to poor maintenance and operation as rust and other factors can play havoc.
The fourth prize of Rs 14,000 was collected by the Group led by cadet Shah Kishan Ashok (G-1794) for their paper on ‘Latest developments in two-stroke engines.” They
propounded the theory that ‘two-stroke’ would be the most economical possibility for converting chemical fuel energy into mechanical energy. Due to the electronic control system and a degree of freedom there were now considerably wider spectrums of injection design. When taking all possibilities of combustion process design into consideration, the injection system is one of the most important components of the engine and the engine is no longer functional.
The two Consolation Prizes went to the cadets from Maharashtra Academy of Naval Education & Training (MANET) led by cadet C. Michael and BMS (MERI, Mumbai) led by cadet Sudhanshu Kishore (B.Sc.-124). M/s. Castrol India Limited announced an amount of Rs 1,38,000/- towards the prizes. During the prize distribution Seacom Engineering College informed that it was offering consolation prize of Rs 10,000/-
The group of cadet C. Michael presented their paper on ‘Impact of low sulphur fuel on shipping industry’. They contended that while using low sulphur fuel oil in marine engines care should be taken to ensure that TBN and feed rate of cylinder oil should be according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. Getting the entire industry to switch over to distillate fuel will cause disruption to oil supplies. Application of suitable technology will ensure that residual fuel can be successfully used in the future. However, they suggested sea water scrubbing but could not support this contention while fielding questions from the audience.
The three judges from the industry, besides Mr. M. V. Ramamurthy, were Mr. Gurdeep S. Taluja from Castrol India Ltd. and Mr. V. P. Datar. The deputy director of M.E.R.I., Mumbai, Mr. M. K. Ghosh in his speech mentioned that the event is open to all marine institutes other than MERI and gave his wishful thought that it will one day become an all India competition with more participants from the industry.
Mr. A.N.S. Neti and Mr. M. Ballabh, senior faculty members of M.E.R.I., Mumbai, conducted the function. There was a large number of industry representative and cadets from the Institute of Marine Engineers and other institutes as well as from the Ex-cadets Association present at the occasion.

Curbing Greenhouse gas emission from ships
India has no intention of agreeing with anything that is made mandatory by the Indian Maritime Organisation (IMO) with regard to curtailing carbon dioxide emissions. This was revealed by India’s IMO representatives during an ‘Awareness Seminar on Greenhouse Gases (GHG) Emission from Ships’ held on September 06, 2008 at the Maritime Training Institute of the Shipping Corporation of India, Mumbai.
The net effect of shipping as a result of emission is actually that it has a cooling affect on the earth since shipping emits sulphur dioxides, methane and other flue gases which help to reflect the sunlight back instead of allowing it to reach the earth, informed I.N. Bose, general manager of Great Eastern. Thus shipping is said to cool the earth.
Greenhouse gases are those that absorb infra-red radiation present in the atmosphere. The gases responsible for this are water vapour, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, halogenated fluorocarbons, ozone, perfluorinated carbons, and hydrofluorocarbons. The emissions produced as greenhouse gases allow incoming solar radiation to pass through the Earth's atmosphere, but prevent most of the outgoing infra-red radiation from the surface and lower atmosphere from escaping into outer space.
“Melting of the Artic ice cap, frequent generation of cyclones of large magnitude, floods and droughts are the cause of excess GHG,” stated D. Mehrotra, Deputy chief surveyor-cum-Senior DDG (Technical). “In order to curtail harmful emissions for ships the IMO passed the Resolution A 963 (23) as a guideline for adoption by member countries. These guidelines indicate how marine bunker fuel emission could be restricted.
“India’s stand has been that we will not agree to anything that is made mandatory by IMO on marine bunker fuel emission because they want to impose a bunker levy. Our contention is that this levy should not be on the same basis that is fixed for developed countries. There should be a differentiation between the levy charged for the developed and under-developed countries. It is not right for the IMO to impose the same standards for both. If there is no differentiated responsibility it amounts to penalising the shipping trade.”
The emission from shipping is less than that caused by road transport but more than that from airliners. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh too recently came out with an action plan for the country to achieve emission reduction at the national level.
I.N. Bose, general manager, Great Eastern, explained that for bringing down ship emissions it is possible to do so at the design stage of a ship by adhering to certain standards. “Operating index should not be mandatory but recommendatory by nature although it could be made mandatory in future. Coming to ship design, if classification societies that are paid by the ship owners are made responsible to undertake the certification during the construction stage itself, there will be a tendency to compromise on the design of a ship. Hence, it is difficult to define a common base line for all ships.”
It was observed by the working group appointed by IMO that if a market-based mechanism for transport is to be introduced, it should not be more per ton that is moved by ship than by road because in that case there would be a tendency for cargo to get shifted on to road transport. Global levy on marine bunker fuel should be designed to act as an incentive for reducing fuel consumption. Besides, levy has to be very high to alter consumption behaviour and if the cost is passed on to the consumer only then would the purpose be served. It was also established that the collected funds must be managed by the shipping companies and this money should go to pay those who pollute less than those who pollute more. However, the working group could not come to any consensus on this issue.
The initial focus on the concept of indexing scheme and GHG was on carbon dioxide emission. This indexing developed by the IMO working group on air pollution is based on operational data and has the benefit of easy access to the necessary data according to U.K. Kalghatgi, chief surveyor of Indian Register of Shipping. This operational data describes the true environmental input / output from the use of a ship. The unit of measurement is the basis for CO2 emission. “At the IMO meeting it was only India which could come up with the input data with regard to the elements considered in development of GHG emission standards,” he said.
Khetan Deshmukh from Lloyd Register gave an overview of the climate change and the focus on clean development mechanism. He noted that since all issues of climate change have cropped up over just the past two hundred years after the industrial revolution, this clearly indicates that the previous generations prior to that lived in harmony with nature.
Venkata R. Kakaraparthi of DNV warned, “If the Earth warms up by 0.75 oC, then the effect is that the ice will begin melting in the Artic; endangered species will get extinct; many islands may disappear and we don’t know what will happen to crops.”
Earlier when targets were fixed for cutting down on emissions there was no mechanism to keep them in place. Now three mechanisms have been developed. It may be long before IMO members become serious about operating in a safe atmosphere.

Tanker owner-operator AET has ordered three 6,600 dwt oil/chemical tankers from Russia’s Okskaya Shipyard using BIMCO’s Newbuildcon standard newbuilding contract. The contract for the new tankers was signed on August 28, with the vessels due for delivery between July and December 2009.
The order for the new tankers is aimed at expanding AET’s fleet capacity and extending the geographical coverage of its operations. Long-term employment for the vessels has already been secured.
Zurina Raja Abu Bakar, AET’s legal counsel responsible for orchestrating the deal, said: “Newbuildcon provides a solid contractual platform that facilitates the placement of newbuilding contracts for both shipowners and yards. It represents an excellent standard form suitable for global use.
AET is a wholly owned subsidiary of Malaysian-based MISC and operates 12 VLCCs, 49 aframax, one Panamax and 12 product tankers. It also has a fleet of lightering support vessels in the US Gulf.
