SAFETY MOMENT OF THE MONTH

Ships passing in the night

“Better opportunities lies in the near future for cadets who are willing to work hard” - Joint Director General of Shipping, Mr. Amitabh Kumar spurs Graduates

In the early morning hours and re-stricted visibility due to snowfall, two ships were meeting in a narrow channel. Thirty minutes before the expected meeting, the officer on the in-bound vessel called the out-bound vessel to discuss the inten-tions about passing each other. The in-bound vessel had to slow down in order to meet the other after she is clear of the lift bridge. The offi-cer on out-bound vessel agreed, but the exact location of the meet-ing was not specified. Later, as the out-bound vessel passed under the lift bridge, the in-bound vessel

A sea of smartly dressed 119 cadets in their black suits, ties and white caps filled the stands at the SIMS Lonavala Auditorium to celebrate their graduation having completed their one year training in the Diploma in Nautical Science programme.

Mr Amitabh Kumar, Joint Director General of Shipping, Ministry of Shipping, India, was the Chief Guest for the ceremony. He was joined by faculty members and parents.

In his address to the graduates from the 20th batch who would soon be sailing with Executive Ship Management, the chief guest gave a glimpse of the sea life they would be experiencing after their time at the institute.

He reminded them that they would no longer be simple cadets but instead ambassadors who will be representing India and the industry.

was approaching a turn in the wa-terway (positions A in the diagram).

The officer on the out-bound vessel observed that the in-bound vessel’s aspect seem to indicate a starboard-to-starboard meeting. He called the in-bound vessel on VHF radio to confirm meeting arrangements. The call was delayed 10 to 15 sec-onds due to radio traffic and after that the in-bound vessel replied that she is coming to starboard in prep-aration for a port-to-port meeting.

Once port-to-port was confirmed, the officer on the out-bound vessel ordered hard starboard and increased speed to turn quickly to star-board. Meanwhile, the in-bound vessel was coming slowly to starboard. The bridge team of the in-bound vessel could distin-guish some of the out-bound vessel’s deck

lights through the snow squalls, but Christmas lights on its bow made its aspect difficult to determine. Soon after, the officer on the in-bound vessel ordered hard starboard and gave full ahead to turn the vessel faster to starboard. The two ves-sels nonetheless touched as they passed each other (position B) but avoided major structural damage.

Lessons learned - Good planning and clear com-

munication is important, even if it is done ‘on the fly’. In this case, the officer piloting the down-bound vessel agreed to meet ‘below the bridge’, but the exact location of the meet-ing was not specified. As it was, the vessels met at a location that was less than ideal given the relatively narrow channel width, the turn in the waterway, the prevailing currents, and the limited distance available to properly line up the lift bridge ap-proach for the up-bound vessel.

- Never display lights that could introduce confusion for other vessels in respect of your navi-gation lights.

Adding on that they will be carrying a lot of responsibilities at such a young age, but with the lessons learnt and bond of comradeship that they will have with SIMS, Lonavala and their friends, they will do well. He encouraged the seafarers-to-be to start interacting with the outer world and continue learning and upgrading themselves.

Citing a recent report released during the Seafarers Awareness Week on the foresight of a shortfall of seafarers in the coming years, the chief guest said that better opportunities lies in the near future for cadets who are willing to work hard. He spurred the cadets to contribute heavily towards development of shipping as an industry in India and to some of the industries that require the main knowledge in the shipping industry.

As he concluded his speech, Mr Amitabh Kumar introduced a recently launched E-Learning

platform from D.G shipping that can be used to guide the new hands in the industry. He added that the seafarers can take mock test, assess themselves and be fully prepared for whatever kind

of examination is required for their certifications. It is offered free right now by the Maritime Training Trust he said.

The chief was given a guard of honour at the campus parade ground and toured the institute and the many training facilities. He also presented the best cadet awards among other prizes during the

ceremony.

With the 20th DNS batch cadets proudly passing out of SIMS, the organisation celebrated the end of the first half of 2016. It’s always a milestone seeing yet another group of young Indian officers setting foot on their future maritime career through the Executive group. Hearty congratulations to the institute and the staff and the cadets for their glorious achievements.

While pollution has become a deep concern for the human race, a project like “Ocean Clean-up” is a concrete step towards addressing the issue. We are happy to bring in the news of this venture to highlight the immense possibility of such isolated efforts and be encouraged to look what we can achieve through innovative thinking like this.

The health of the seafarers remains a concern and as before we have tried to bring in news on healthy living and lifestyle that can add to enjoy good health for all. The article on the detox highlights the importance of cleansing and detoxifying our body to get rid of the impurities that we dump on ourselves day in and day out through our unmindful consumption and unhealthy lifestyle. Have a look and you will realise even small steps could bring us out of that vicious cycle.

I am also sure, the technical article on the impact of the cat fines on the marine fuel will be interesting particularly to our marine engineers and preventive measures indicated by our Technical experts.

Overall, this issue of the newsletter too retains its regular features and continue to keep the seafarers in mind to include various interesting topics. We do hope the newsletter will keep you updated and informed on monthly basis about the happenings around us.

Till the next issue in August, have a safe sailing and enjoy your voyage,

Sikha Singh

MIND YOUR BODY

Detoxification without JuicingOur bodies naturally detoxify every day by eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon and liver. But nowadays, at-home detoxification is adopted by healthy individuals to help keep their body systems in pristine condition.

When done correctly, a seasonal detox is an effective way to clear your body of toxins, which will also speed up your metabolism and enhance your overall health. It is a process aiming to eliminate all the negative effects on our body from the environment, such as industrial chemicals, pesticides, additives in our foods, secondary smoke, pollutants, or heavy metals. Once such burdens are relieved, other parasite, yeast and organic detoxification proceeds easier.

Dr. Linda Page, a naturopathic doctor, lecturer, and author of the book Detoxification says that if your energy level is low, if you have been taking many medications that have not been eliminated from your system, a weekend detox may help you feel better. If you feel “congested” from too much food -- or the wrong kinds of food -- you may want to detoxify, she says.

While a “water or juice only” fast is pretty straightforward, Page’s

cleansing is a bit more involved. That’s because juice diets prevent your body from going into a state called ketosis. Ketosis means your body has no carbohydrates to burn for energy, so it has to burn stored fat or whatever else is available.

She instead advocates “cleansing boosters,” including herbal laxatives, colonics and probiotics - that replenish healthy bacteria. Relaxation techniques -- massage therapy, sauna, aromatherapy baths, deep breathing exercises, walking - help round-out cleanse. Even author of Alternative Medicine for Dummies, James Dillard, MD, assistant clinical professor at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City added that “The old-fashioned way of eating the right foods, getting exercise, clean living, keeping a positive mental attitude is what that works.

Here are other methods that doesn’t involve juicing.

Sweating Detoxing your body naturally through sweating is very important. Through moderate amounts of cardio exercise, wastes is removed through pores on the skin. Aim to sweat at least fifteen minutes every day. You can even follow up with

a detoxifying brushing of the skin from head to toe with a boar bristle brush to remove dead skin cells that clog the pores.

Proper SleepSleeping causes your body to go into a state of cleansing and regeneration. Without proper and sufficient sleep, detoxification organs don’t get the full recharge they need to function at optimal levels. Aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night, in a dark, noiseless environment for optimal results.

Healthy Eating Eat only fruit and/or vegetable juice for breakfast, and as much as desired. Again for lunch have as much fruit and juice as desired, followed by a large colorful salad with any dairy free dressing. For dinner, eat more fruit if possible, followed by another large salad consisting of as many vegetables as desired. Top it off with a baked sweet potato, yam, or red/purple potatoes, and add spices (preferably low salt). Heavier foods like meat, dairy, beans, and even most grains will slow down, From Various Internet Source

PUZZLES ANSWERS FOR ISSUE 133

or even stop the detoxification process, so be conservative with these foods if you really want to experience results.

Good Breathing TechniquesBreathe in and breathe out fully. With practice you will find you can do this by drawing in your abdomen. Pause for 2-4 seconds. While many people don’t consider the lungs part of your detoxification squad, they are responsible for filtering out fumes, allergens, mold, and airborne toxins. When we’re stressed, we tend to shift from deep belly breathing to short, shallow ‘chest’ breaths, which reduces your lungs ability to transport oxygen to all your tissues. If you want to boost your lung power, begin to practise diaphragmatic breathing a few minutes each day.

ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS

Cleaning up our oceans just got one step closer to reality after the first prototype of a device called “The Ocean Cleanup” was launched on 27 June. A suc-cessful trial means the device that captures floating plastics in our oceans can look forward to eradicating the pollution in the

near future.

After winning the prestigious Kat-erva Award last month, the project is now starting a year-long test par-tially funded by the Dutch govern-ment. The prototype boom will be towed to 12 and a half miles out in the North Sea. At 328 feet long, the device is the “first ocean clean-up system ever tested at sea.”

The prototype, which collects trash passively, is made of vulcanized rubber and is powered by ocean currents. Sensors will monitor the boom during the year. Data gar-nered will assist engineers as they

develop a system more resistant to wind and waves.

This data will be analysed and uti-lized in designing the next genera-tion of the device, including the one destined to take on the massive waste floating on Earth’s largest ocean.

Dutch Environment Minister Sharon Dijksma said that “This is crucial to prevent permanent damage to the environment and marine life, due to the degradation and fragmentation of plastic waste materials.”

First discovered in 1997 by a Cali-fornian, the masses of plastic de-bris floating at the centre of vast ocean vortices called gyres are to-day under close scrutiny by scien-tists. To better understand the frag-mentation of micro plastics under the effect of light and abrasion by waves, researchers analysed the movements with statistical model-

ling.

Since then, successive scientific expeditions have studied the com-position and behaviour of micro-plastics in the five ocean gyres, at whose centres waste is trapped by circular ocean currents. In May 2014, the 7th Continent Expedi-

tion scientific mission enabled re-searchers to collect samples from the North Atlantic gyre with the aim of better understanding the process of fragmentation of plastic waste.

According to the study published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology on 23 May 2016 – researchers were able to show that pieces of plastic debris behave in very different ways according to their size.

The bigger particles of sizes two to five millimetres usually float at the surface of the water. The face pref-erentially exposed to the sun be-

comes discoloured and degrades under the effect of sunlight, while the other face is colonized by mi-croorganisms. The smaller par-ticles of under 1 millimetres are cu-bic and have identical faces. Their tendency to roll with the waves apparently slows down the devel-opment of a biofilm and promotes

erosion of the edges.

This discovery encouraged the minds behind the “ocean clean-up” to develop methods to remove both micrometer- and nanometer-sized particles in large quantities.

“By 2020, The Ocean Cleanup aims to deploy a 100 km-long structure between Hawaii and Cali-fornia. Analysis suggests this array will be able to clean up about half the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in ten years’ time,” Ocean Cleanup reported on their Website.

TECHNICAL NEWS

CAT FINESCatfines are substances like sili-con and aluminium compounds which are required as catalysts in the refining process known as catalytic cracking (“cat cracking”). This method of crude oil treatment splits large, high-boiling hydrocar-bon molecules into lots of smaller, low boiling molecules. It is only this conversion which creates fuels like diesel, petrol or kerosene from

crude oil.

Cat fines are deliberately intro-duced to ‘crack ‘fuel to improve the efficiency of refining. Cat fines size of 8 to 25 microns are considered most dangerous, because it can get still trapped between plunger and barrel of any fuel pump. There is an increasing requirement for ships to use low sulphur fuels, and as these require more refining, the level of cat fines increase. Low sul-phur fuels are less lubricating and this combined with the introduction of increased amounts of abrasive materials, causes damage.

LIMITATIONS OF PURIFIERPurifiers will have difficulty remov-ing particles less than 8 micron size. Engine makers do not want more than 15 ppm cat fines in the fuel entering the engine, but fuel is generally produced and sold at 60 ppm cat fine content and more. The ISO fuel standards are differ-ent from the makers requirements. ISO 8217:2012 recommended Cat fine limit is of 60 ppm. However, even today most of the bunker sup-plier are following ISO 8217: 2005 standards where the cat fine limit is

Cat Fines in Marine Fuels80 ppm. Changes in ISO fuel stan-dards are necessary.

HOW CAT FINES WORKhe cat fines can become embed-ded on the surface of the cast iron cylinder liner, piston grooves, and rings, where these particles act as abrasives, rapidly wearing the sliding components. Within a few hours the new cylinder liner and

piston rings, get spoiled to the point that blow by com-bustion products render the affected unit useless. A Severe Cat Fine Attack Docu-mentation Using Liner Scan Online Equipment Mea-suring The Content Iron Wear Particle.(Note that before attack, the iron

level was below 100mg/kg .During the attack it peaked to more than 2500mg/kg).

PREVENTIVE MEASURES1.Usage of bunkered fuel, before getting the analysis test results are to be avoidedeven though the samples obtained only represent the average quality of bunker sup-plied. The time delay between the tests and results can often mean that the remaining good fuel would be insufficient to complete the voy-age without resorting to the new and possibly sub-standard fuel. So while ordering bunker, this factor should be kept in mind.

2.Ensure that representative bun-ker samples are drawn in line with industry guide lines and tested by a suitable independent lab against the ISO 8217:2012.

Samples should be taken dur-ing bunkering from each bunker source/ barge/ tanker.

Vessel to make sure that the analy-sis report returns to the vessel as soon as possible and in any case prior to using the bunkered oil.

3.Both Heavy Oil purifier to run in parallel

4.To get rid of Cat fines to accept-able label i.e. 10-15 mg/kg; settling tank temperature to be kept high (around 92-95 deg C)so that cat fines can settle at the bottom and same can be drained off from tank.

5.Thereafter settling tank to be drained at every two hours to drain the water and Cat fine

6.Line Filters must be checked for their integrity and at no circum-stances filter to be by-passed.

7.Purifier throughput must be kept at minimum, just keep break even purification. Run both purifiers in parallel keeping throughput just break even to meet daily consump-tion. Fuel temperature at puri-fier inlet to be maintained 98 deg C. Check purifier thermometer is working fine and showing correct value.

8.As seen during various puri-fier efficiency tests, there has been considerable improvement in ef-ficiency of separation when tem-perature is increased from 90 deg C to 98 deg C .

9.Any increase in Auxiliary engine fuel rack for similar load is first in-dicator that the cat fines have en-tered the system.

10.Cleaning of fuel tanks inclusive of bunker tanks at dry dock time should be a minimum require-ment.

11.The samples of HFO should be taken before and after each sepa-rator at intervals of 4- 6 months. Also when the levels of silicon and aluminium in the fuel are high, the samples to be send to accredited labs.

12. Fuel storage: The settling ser-vice tank regular draining to be carried out, drained oil from the automatic fuel oil back wash filters should not be re-introduced into the system. Fuel oil heaters should be opened and cleaned regularly.

Purifier maintenance to be carried out regularly

INDICATIONSFrequent clogging of fuel valves, malfunction of fuel pumps , abnor-mally frequent clogging of fuel fil-ters and abnormal /frequent build up of sludge in the fuel separator associated with cylinder blow by and occasional fires in the scav-enge space is an indication of cat fines in the fuel.

WHAT OWNERS CAN DO FOR CAT FINES1)In the charter party and bunker-ing contracts, the agreed value of ppm of aluminium and silicon should be kept to less than 50ppm (irrespective of ISO 8217:2012 limit of 60 ppm) to ensure that the cen-trifuges can effectively bring this value down to less than 15 ppm at the entry to the engines. How-ever today being charters market owners have very limited scope to push for this requirement in char-ter party.

2)Purifiers efficiency test should be carried annually by fuel spe-cialists, and fuel system filters should be regularly inspected and cleaned.

3) If engine damage is due to cat fines, experts should be instructed to confirm the presence of cat fines .If cat fines are confirmed, all nec-essary work to eradicate them from the fuel should be should be carried out immediately including, removal of contaminated fuel oil from the vessel, cleaning of stor-age, settling and service tank and fuel system components, replace-ment or machining of all affected engine components, to avoid fur-ther engine damage caused by cat fines.

Making any damage claim against charters are mostly lost by owners so donot forget the old saying pre-vention is better than cure.
