    1/11 Home Parliamentary Business Committees Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Inquiry into Strengthening Australia’s Relationships with Countries in the Pacific region March 2020 Submission by Neil Baird PhD Proposal for a Pacific Safe Ferry Project: Similar to the Pacific Patrol Boat Scheme Contact: Dr Neil Baird Email: Phone: 2/11 Proposal for a Pacific Safe Ferry Project THE PROPONENT: Neil Baird is a semi-retired publisher of international maritime trade magazines, books and a website and organiser of maritime trade exhibitions globally (See: www.bairdmaritime.com). From 2015 to 2017 he completed a PhD at the Australian National Centre for Ocean Research and Security at the University of Wollongong. The title of his thesis was “Fatal Ferry Accidents, Their Causes and Prevention”. This work arose from a more than thirty-year study of passenger vessel accidents and extensive published writing on that subject of which he is widely known as one of the world’s leading experts.. Arising from his doctoral research, Dr Baird has completed several projects with INTERFERRY (www.interferry.org) , the international trade association of ferry owners, mainly through its associated FerrySafe project. He has presented to and worked with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and other international bodies such as the China Maritime Safety Administration. At a Pacific Islands Forum/IMO conference in Port Moresby in April 2018 he developed the Pacific Safe Ferry Project idea. It was discussed there with all delegates, who unanimously liked the idea. The New Zealand delegates took the idea back to their government, which has already acted on it, see article on Te Kaniva attached.

  • First Passenger Ferry to Receive Cummins QSK95 Propulsion Power
    CONTACT: Andy Kelly Cummins Inc. 854 529 4872 [email protected] For Immediate Release March 15, 2018 First Passenger Ferry to Receive Cummins QSK95 Propulsion Power CHARLESTON, SC (March 14, 2018) – Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced today that Azam Marine has selected two QSK95 propulsion engines to provide main propulsion power for their next passenger ferry, making Kilimanjaro VII the first QSK95 powered passenger ferry in the world. “The QSK95 is a perfect fit for highly sophisticated vessels such as Kilimanjaro VII,” said Jim Schacht, Executive Director – Cummins Global Marine Business. “This product fully leverages Cummins unique experience with our in-house technologies such as turbo chargers, filtration and electronics delivering increased power and reliability, fast transient response and simple serviceability.” The QSK95 is the newest and most powerful Cummins engine for the marine market offering a power output previously exclusive to medium-speed marine engines with power ratings from 3200 hp to 4200 hp for propulsion, auxiliary, generator and diesel electric applications. The QSK95 brings the advantage of a lower capital cost, a more compact installation and exceptional fuel efficiency when compared to other engines in this class. Extended service and more cost-effective rebuilds add a further economic advantage for high-hour, hardworking vessels such as passenger transport, tugs, inland waterway towboats, crew boats, dredges and government patrol vessels. “Cummins has supported us well in the past, leading us to select the QSK95 for our newest and largest addition to the fleet.” Said Abubakar Aziz Salim, Managing Director – Azam Marine, “The unique engine design, high power density and available continuous-use power has allowed us to use a vessel design we are familiar with but expand its capability to carry more passengers.” Azam Marine and Coastal Fast Ferries operate passenger ferry boats between the islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and mainland Tanzania.

  • Spirit of the Wild” Naming Speech by Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Kate Warner Ac Governor of Tasmania Princes Wharf No
    “SPIRIT OF THE WILD” NAMING SPEECH BY HER EXCELLENCY PROFESSOR THE HONOURABLE KATE WARNER AC GOVERNOR OF TASMANIA PRINCES WHARF NO. 1, HOBART, MONDAY 14 MAY 2018 Good afternoon and thank you for inviting me as RACT Patron to officiate at this naming ceremony for the new Gordon River Cruises vessel, “Spirit of the Wild”. I begin by paying my respects to the traditional and original owners of this land— the Mouheneener people. I acknowledge the contemporary Tasmanian Aboriginal community, who have survived invasion and dispossession, and continue to maintain their identity, culture and Indigenous rights. May I acknowledge among you: ➢ Kathryn Westwood, Board President; ➢ Harvey Lennon, Chief Executive; ➢ Toby Richardson, co-director Richardson Devine Marine. In this the fourth year in which Gordon River Cruises has been owned and operated by the RACT, the delivery of “Spirit of the Wild” is a most significant achievement. The vessel will join and then replace “Lady Jane Franklin II”, and the small-group “MV Sophia”, in ensuring that Gordon River Cruises is able to continue to offer a pre-eminent Australian eco-tour experience. In this context it is important to record also that the Strahan waterfront is benefiting from upgrades in excess of 6.5 million dollars, through the five-year Community Asset Program funded by funded by TasPorts and the State Government. The West Coast Council has also expended considerable monies on street-scaping of the Strahan Wharf and cruise precinct. And TasPorts has worked very effectively with cruise terminal tenants World Heritage Cruises and RACT Destinations to effect the necessary cruise terminal redevelopment associated with the ultra-sophisticated of “Spirit of the Wild”.
