MAIN NEWS

Navigational Safety Campaign focuses on Human Element There are several causes that can rupture the merchant navy transport chain, with undesired consequences. This could be a result of unsolved mechanical or electrical problems, severe weather, errant human behaviour or performance amongst others. However, the human element is one of the most important contributory effects to the causation and avoidance of accidents.

Hence to draw attention and raise awareness amongst the crew members on board our fleet, ESM launched an extensive six month long campaign focused on eliminating the human element behind navigational safety on 30th December 2016. During each month, a single module involving human elements will

be covered, namely, Navigational Briefings, Challenges & Response, Situational Awareness, Decision Making & Short Term Strategy, Attitudes & Error Management and Team State & Automation.

For each module, vessels will receive a presentation slide along with two case studies and a poster to be placed on the bridge. During the first week, bridge team members are required to read through the materials received for that month. At the end of that week, selected representatives from the bridge team will present the case to all bridge team members; an activity, that promotes knowledge sharing, confidence on subject matter and team bonding amongst others. Masters of the vessel can use this time to address incorrect practices and thoughts.

After the activity, the Implementation phase starts and will go on for the following three weeks until the end of the month. During this phase, superintendents or managers (Master Mariner) from ESM office will take feedback from the bridge team members either during their ship visit or through telephone call around the last week of the month.

The campaign has been designed keeping in mind the responsibilities of each and every sailing staff on board and to cover all safety aspects. Success of the campaign depends on the active participation of the entire crew. All team members are encourage to implement this activity in the right spirit.

An oil tanker, fully loaded with crude oil, was berthed and ready for discharge. Prior to discharge operations a safety meeting was conducted and the ship-shore safety checklist completed between the vessel and the terminal. Discharge commenced with three cargo arms. The deck, manifold and pump room were closely observed for any leaks. Discharging pressure was then increased without any signs of abnormalities.

TAs discharge continued, a deck watchman became aware of a black stain on the top of one of the shore cargo arms, although he did not see any actual leakage. He informed the cargo control room and the information was passed to the fire and safety watchman and the shore terminal.

Later, terminal staff arrived on board. With vessel staff, they tried to identify the reason for the stain. Shortly thereafter it was observed that oil was dripping from the shore cargo arm to the deck and manifold drip tray. Terminal staff stopped the leakage by pulling the vacuum relief valve handle. The discharge operation was not stopped, because everyone was convinced the source of the leak had been corrected. The vacuum relief valve and all shore cargo arm systems were kept under close scrutiny until the end of discharge operations with no further leaks observed.

During further investigation and checks by the terminal staff on their systems some oil was spotted on the water between the vessel and shore; some cargo had dribbled down from the shore cargo arm during the leakage from vacuum relief valve, probably less than one litre. The oil

SAFETY MOMENT OF THE MONTH

residue was quickly cleaned by shore staff. The cause of this incident was the leaking vacuum relief valve located

at the top of one of the loading arms, an area not easily visible. Apparently, this deficiency had been known to exist by shore authorities. Some stains were also seen on one of the other shore arms, though no actual leakage was observed there during cargo operations.

Lessons Learned•Since the vessel crew do not have specific

knowledge about shore cargo arms, any potential risks should be discussed and highlighted to crew by the terminal during the pre-discharge safety meeting.

•For oil cargo operations, when any unusual event is encountered or suspected all operations should be stopped and the event fully investigated.

•Any apparent deficiencies of shore equipment seen by ship’s crew should immediately be reported to the Master and port authorities.

Letter of the MonthAlmost in a blink the first month of the year flew away and here we are writing for the second and the shortest month in yet another year. January was indeed the month of festivities and holidays but that did not stop our Quality department to launch their “Safety campaign” for next six months to keep everyone reminded on their responsibilities towards safety for all. Our main story got to be none other than that!

We wish all on board the very best for an enthusiastic participation and as always the newsletter will be updating the progress of the campaign as well as announcing the winners and high achievers in due course.

In our endeavor to provide general health awareness with interesting news and reports in the health sector, this issue once again brings to you an eye opener on healthy eyes. Regular eye checkups and more importantly the food and exercise are important in keeping your eyes healthy.

We are also pleased to include an optimistic news on the recovery and thriving of marine life after the earthquake and tsunami in the pacific coastline of Japan in March, 2011. A research by the marine biologists have brought out how the eco system revived and flourished within three years due to favourable conditions!

We have given a new makeover to our publications and as you may notice there are certain omissions and additions to the old newsletter. We would look forward to any feedback or comment from our readers on the new look and the revised contents. Please feel free to send in your views and even any contribution to the newsletter. We are indeed happy to add in a report and pictures of the Christmas and New year celebration at FS Endevor. Many thanks to Capt. Mahendra Singh for sharing the family time of the crew on board. We do hope for similar contributions from rest of the fleet in future.

Till we meet next month, Remain safe and happy sailing,Sikha Singh

Cargo Tank Bottom Pitting on Oil – Chemical Ships:

Problems of pitting and Corrosion of Cargo tank bottom plates and Cargo pump bellmouth/ wells lead to costly off-hire, cargo claims and repair require-ment, leading to huge loss to owners’. It reflects poor inspection procedures and lack of knowledge or application from ship and shore staff.

Ignoring a small coating damage or pitting during a cargo tank inspection, may eventually grow up as a hole in the cargo tank, as subse-quent tank entry/ inspection may be only after 6 Months or a year. There could also be the odd situation where some may make the report without making a tank entry or inspection. Car-go may find ingress to Water Ballast tanks or a hole in RST where dirty slop may find way to Cargo tank underneath.

It is thus imperative that proper precautions and thorough inspection is carried during each inspec-tion. The problem most commonly starts with cav-itation damage to the coating in the suction well. As soon as cavitation exposes the underlying steel, galvanic corrosion steps in and drives the pitting process. Since Framo pumps are in Stain-less steel, they provide a relatively large cathode surface area for corrosion of what are consid-erably smaller areas of exposed mild steel. It is worth noting that the pitting process requires an electrolyte which is provided by the salt water residual of tank washing and/ or cargo tank bal-lasting (in case of COT No. 4 P & Stbd).

A close check of cargo tanks condition and in-tegrity of cargo paint must be carried out regu-larly with particular attention to the cargo pump well area. Each paint failure must be immediate-ly repaired with epoxy putty and touched up. At the time of cargo tanks inspections, the heating coil conditions must be carefully checked for pit-ting/ corrosion and a detailed report must be sent to the technical office. In general, the frequency of inspections of cargo tanks should be increased, i.e. the tanks should be inspected whenever there is the opportunity, obviously following all the safety precautions for tank entry.

The use of Ballast in Cargo Tanks must not be con-sidered a “heavy ballast condition”, but should be limited only to those emergency situations when sea worthiness may be severely affected. After emergency ballast operations and tank washing operations it is advisable to rinse the tanks with fresh water as far as possible.

The cargo pump suction well must be kept dry as far as possible, in order to avoid the presence of an electrolyte between the pump and suction well. Hence an accurate cargo tank stripping af-ter discharge operations is to mop dry the suc-tion well after tank washing operations as far as possible.

CASE-iPitting damage in Car-go Tank top. The rea-son for the damage to the paint coat-ing is not con-firmed. This can be due to poor application at the time of new building or due to falling debris

at the time of removal of staging after com-pletion of painting at new building yard. Over a period of time the damaged coating has allowed the metal beneath to rust. On descaling the rusted surface were found to have

4-5mm deep pittings.

CASE-iiPitting damage at bell mouth area, below the framo pump impeller is common sight on product and chemical tankers. Above photo shows pitting damage, depth approx.

10mm. The thickness of the plate is 14mm. On general observation, this may look like lump of dirt accumulated under the bell-mouth. On reaching out and feeling with finger tips, actual depth of the pitting can be gauged. During tank inspections, senior and experienced officer should inspect and feel with his hands if pitting damage is ex-isting or not. All STX and HMD vessels have Ballast tanks under the COT. Pitting damage can lead to oil pollution and also cargo claims due to water ingress. Ig is very important that COT tank inspection regime should be seriously followed and any observation noted, should be informed. Case-iiiPitting damage under the bell mouth, on Gen-

eral examination, it seems like only the top coating is damaged or rust accumulation in the bell mouth. On clos-er examination, the pitting damage is to an extent of 10mm.

Repair Procedure - The damaged coating area is de-rusted with sandering machine (never use jet chisel) and metal surface is brought to bare metal

state. The surface preparation should be such that edg-es of the grinded area should not be very sharp. If the pitting is 2~3 mm, same can be repaired by filler putty, followed by two coats of barrier and finally the final coat. Total thickness of the paint coating should be at least 300~400 dft. Pitting area with depth above 3mm should be filled by welding using welding rod - LH314.

Vessel shall always maintain one pack of 2.5mm, one pack of 3.2 mm of LH 314 welding electrodes and 10 kg ROB of NOVA 5000 barrier putty from Chugoku, which comes with filler putty, two packs of primer (hardener and epoxy), plus final coat.

Marine Biologists Observe Sea Life After The 2011 Tsunami

Environmental catastrophes such as cyclones, earthquakes and tsunamis create devastating effects for not just life on land but as well as on sea. Such extreme events might cause an overhaul of the ecosystem changing the community structure and compositions. Studies from the past have suggested that a tsunami catastrophe either buries or erodes the various habitats existing on and below the seafloor. Hence it is a rare and unique opportunity to study the immediate, prolonged effects and recovery of the marine ecosystem.

The Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011 resulted in the Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami which struck the 2000km Pacific coastline of

eastern Japan. Along the coast on the northern islands, extensive land build up was generated due to the funnel shaped bays around which amplified the tsunami waves. This eroded the seafloor sediments from massive depths of 10-20 metres. A research study was conducted beginning two months until the next five years of the tsunami and the effects on the coastal fauna with its recovery was collected.

The data collected by these researchers found a progression in the recovery and thriving of sea life. The smaller fishes were the first to be observed, even though they had shorter lifespans. These fishes recovered faster due to the available abundance of rich nutrients and sediments displaced by the calamity. Due to the absence of any predators and shorter reproductive cycles

the smaller fishes thrived under such conditions. Subsequently bigger fishes recovered as well, that had longer lifespans and preyed on the smaller fish, thereby balancing the ecosystem. It was also observed that there was a gradual increase in the body lengths of the fishes which suggests that the environmental conditions facilitated the recovery. Eventually there were periods of invasions by other species and were greatest in the areas that suffered more destruction during the tsunami.

Blooms of moon jellyfish and sea cucumber were observed to increase from the second year onwards, after the disaster. The research concluded by observing that it took three years after the tsunami, for the habitat and ecosystem to recover.

Keeping Your Eyes Healthy

Protecting your eyesight as you age is an essential part of your health care. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), age-related diseases such as macular degeneration (part of the retina that processes light deteriorates), cataract (the lens of your eye becomes cloudy) and glaucoma (pressure in the eye damages the optic nerve) are the leading causes of blindness and low vision.

IDr. Pamela Lowe, a highly sought after speaker for optometric conferences and author of several respected articles for eye health says “when you’re seeing well and have no irritation, it’s easy to forget about going to the eye doctor; If you wait until you notice a problem, it can be too late.”

There are plenty of simple things that one can do each day to keep the vision clear and eyes healthy:

Getting Regular Eye Check-UpsRegular eye exams are particularly important, because an early diagnosis can limit any vision loss and help preserve your eyesight. Adults, especially those over 40, should have yearly eye exams, to prevent age-related ocular conditions including macular degeneration and glaucoma.

If you start noticing changes in your vision, see your eye doctor immediately too. Some troubling signs to look for are double vision, hazy vision and difficulty seeing in low light conditions. Other signs and symptoms of potentially serious eye problems that warrant immediate attention include red eyes, frequent flashes of light, floaters, and eye pain and swelling.

Eating Right Dark leafy greens like spinach, kale and Brussels sprouts, as well as dark berries, like blueberries and blackberries, are rich in lutein, a type of carotenoid that protects against macular degeneration. Cold-water fish such as salmon, tuna, sardines and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which may help protect against dry eyes, macular degeneration and even cataracts. Foods such as carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, strawberries, pumpkin, corn and cantaloupe are excellent sources of vitamins A and C. A well-balanced diet also helps you stay at a healthy weight. That lowers your odds of obesity and related diseases like type 2 diabetes, which is the leading cause of blindness in adults.

Quit Smoking The many dangers of smoking have been well documented. When it comes to eye health, people

MIND YOUR BODY

who smoke are at greater risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, uveitis and other eye problems. In fact smokers are four times more likely to develop AMD and smoking even impairs the effectiveness of AMD treatment. In addition to this a smoker’s risk of developing cataracts goes hand in hand with the number of cigarettes smoked - those who smoke heavily are likely to develop more severe cataracts.

Relaxing your eyesThe more we concentrate, the drier our eyes become. Use the 20-20-20 rule to let your eyes rest: Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away or more for at least 20 seconds. It helps break the eyes’ constant strain of focusing from doing close work, like reading or looking at a computer monitor. And always be sure that you’re a comfortable arm’s distance away from what you’re looking at or reading, says Dr. Lowe.

Another exercise involves shifting focus between your fingertip and something across the room five to 10 times. “This helps maintain flexibility of the muscle tissues that encircle your lenses and control your range of focus,” says Leonard J. Press, O.D., an optometric physician in Fair Lawn, New Jersey.
