The Dawn Princess docked at Wharf 8 early but the 2000 disembarking passengers were forced to stay on board after health cards showed two people had recently recovered from influenza type A, a possible indication of swine flu. NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chant said last night that tests had come back negative for influenza A of any type, including human swine influenza. "Passengers from the cruise ship who presented with mild influenza like illnesses and were tested by public health officials today have since been contacted [about] their test results, which are negative for human swine influenza," Dr Chant said. A statement released by the NSW Health Department said the results meant that all passengers of the Dawn Princess could be released from voluntary home and hotel isolation. The drama came as a 15-year-old schoolboy in Melbourne was confirmed yesterday as the 14th case of swine flu in Australia NSW Health authorities screened the ship, which arrived from Hawaii and had been due to depart for Noumea at 4pm. The body of one passenger was removed from the ship in Sydney but authorities quickly scuttled rumours that the person had died from swine flu. Sandy Olsen, a spokeswoman for Carnival Corporation, which owns the ship, said the death was heart-related but could not confirm at what point during the journey the person died. A second passenger was taken by ambulance to a Sydney hospital, but both Ms Olsen and NSW Health said the person was not suffering from a respiratory illness.

Passengers were expected to board the ship about 10pm but it was unclear what time it would sail out of Sydney. Morrie Adamson, of Canberra, had been waiting to board the Dawn Princess from 2pm. "They have been very good with information but the health authorities have been procrastinating," he said. "There has been no mention of swine flu but the rumour is that someone [on the ship] is very ill." Kevin Wilkie, Beverley Ford and Judy Arnold were held behind yellow tape in quarantine at the departure terminal. Each had ticked a box on health forms that day indicating they had displayed symptoms of flu, including a runny nose, a slight cough and vomiting, the latter of which Mrs Arnold attributed to altitude sickness she suffered from her flight from Queensland. Many of the hundreds of passengers waiting to embark complained they had paid for a meal that night and would not be receiving it. Ms Olsen said: "We have a standard operating procedure with the NSW Department of Health that we report any flu, irrespective of what it is." Source: The Sydney Morning Herald 2 ships' crew hit for not helping capsized boat For allegedly refusing to help passengers of capsized banca off Batangas, the crew of two motor boats would be included in the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) probe on the sea tragedy last Saturday. Coast Guard commandant Admiral Wilfredo Tamayo also said they have started tracking the captain and crew of the ill-fated banca "Commando 6." "Ang dalawang barko na dumaan, kasama sa investigation. Lahat na di tumulong kasama sa investigation ng Coast Guard," Tamayo said in an interview on dzXL radio. [The crew of the two vessels that refused to help will be included in the investigation. All those who refused to help will be investigated.] Earlier reports said two bancas passed by the capsized "Commando 6" but ignored calls for help, and that some of the passengers of the passing boat even took photos and videos of the disabled sea vessel. In a separate interview on dzBB, Tamayo said they have started tracking down the crew of the "Commando 6," who he said have made themselves “scarce." Tamayo said even the owner of the banca, Renato Ylagan, has not showed up to face the investigation. On the other hand, he said he has relieved the Coast Guard personnel on duty at the port that was supposed to have inspected the ill-fated vessel. He said those relieved include Chief Petty Officer Nolasco Ramirez, PO3 James Laurelles, PO2 Isabelo Dimapiles, PO2 Leonardo Gallago, and Seaman First Julius Panopio. "Sa aming panig kailangan imbestigahan ang procedure ng boarding team, sila ay relieved for investigation [We will investigate the procedure of the boarding team. They are relieved from their duties pending the investigation]," he said. Tamayo said the investigation would also focus on why the "Commando 6" submitted two passenger manifests before leaving port last Saturday.The first manifest indicated the boat had eight passengers, but the second indicated it had 42. Commodore Cecil Chen, head of the Coast Guard's Southern Luzon unit, said there were 50 survivors and 12 dead, indicating an excess of 20 passengers. Interviewed on dzXL radio, Chen also pointed out the "Commando 6" was authorized to carry only 42 passengers.

Dat gebeurde tijdens een bijeenkomst in het noorden van Somalië, meldde de BBC maandag. Woordvoerder Abshir Abdullah van de piraten liet weten dat alle schepen en bemanningsleden in hun handen nu zullen worden vrijgelaten. De zeerovers komen steeds meer onder druk van lokale leiders te staan om hun lucratieve verdiensten op te geven, omdat zij door de piraterij hun gemeenschappen zouden corrumperen. De piraten deden hun belofte in een ontmoeting met lokale leiders en Somalische ballingen in Eyl, in de autonome regio Puntland. Eyl is een bolwerk van piraten. In de Golf van Aden en voor de oostkust van Somalië werden dit jaar al 114 pogingen gedaan om een schip te kapen. In totaal waren 29 pogingen van piraten succesvol. The tug VLIELAND seen with the TORM ALEXANDRA arriving in Buchanan (Liberia) where the cargo ship will be scrapped, the ship was laying for years in the port of Monrovia where see capsized during loading, finally after 8 years an USA/Swiss firm raised the wreck in the port and Martrade BV of Sliedrecht chartered the tug VLIELAND in cooperation with Worldwise Marine Brokers of IJmuiden for towage of the ill-fated vessel from Monrovia to Buchanan The VLIELAND towed the wreck to the scrap side where they safely arrived May 24th Photo : Capt Piet Ottosen – Master Vlieland © More Iran warships to counter Somali pirates Six Iranian warships and logistic vessels will join an international armada fighting piracy off the coast of Somalia and the Gulf of Aden. The deployment is in line with international efforts to curb piracy in the pirate-infested waters, which have seen over 220 ships falling victim to hijacking over the past two years. The commander of the Iranian Navy, Real-Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, said on Monday that "six warships and support vessels have been dispatched to the Gulf of Aden region and international waters." Adm. Sayyari called this long-range mission thousands of kilometers away from base "unprecedented" in Iranian naval history, and saw it as proof of the country's military abilities, ISNA reported.

The Islamic Republic's first deployment came after Somali pirates hijacked the Hong Kong-flagged cargo ship, Delight, operated by the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) in the Gulf of Aden in November, 2008. The latest incident involving an Iranian ship came in March when the pirates attacked an Iranian vessel for what they called illegal fishing in the northern semi-autonomous region of Puntland.

Ports enable the carriage of goods by sea, thus they are subject changes triggered by many factors: changes in the socio-economic structures of the regions they serve, changes in legislation, changes due to environmental issues and so on. Adapting to changes requires a proactive and collaborative attitude from the whole port community. Ports need to be aware of the factors that cause change but they can also affect their own future by creating demand, establishing new relations and by attracting shipowners.

The role of the ports is crucial for interconnectivity, economic growth and sustainability in the region; they enable both cargo and passenger mobility. This report focuses on the liner traffic between the five so-called PENTA ports: Stockholm, Tallinn, Helsinki Turku and Naantali. The economic situation and foreign trade in each county – Estonia, Finland and Sweden – provides the context for the analysis. The report points out key factors driving the demand for cargo and passenger traffic in each port. The results show that the companies operating the sea routes between these ports have developed different profiles.

It has certainly been a team effort and I would hereby like to thank our employees on shore and on board, our passengers, cooperation partners and investors for those great 12 months. • Promote the maritime industry and most of all, ferry services on the Baltic Sea. Our increased passenger number is clear evidence, that there are more people not only in the nearby countries, but around the globe, who are interested in cruising on our beautiful sea-landscape. • Inspire the ones around you. It does not only mean the people we work and live closely together. Our order for the new LNG- powered new building from Meyer Turku shipyard sets new standard for the fast ferry service, increases the awareness of environmentally responsible maritime business and gives people and businesses the opportunity to think along and work with us towards innovative solutions. • Set an example. As the market leader in the region we also carry the responsible role of setting the example. May it be our everyday operations, new development plans or the way you handle problematic situations. We do take this responsibility very seriously and have gained several acknowledgements, which prove us being on a right track.

    SUSTAINABLE CARGO CHECK-IN SOLUTIONS FOR TALLINK SILJA OYJ Jyväskylä University School of Business and Economics Master’s thesis 2021 Purnachand Valluru International Business and Entrepreneurship (IBE) Thesis Supervisor Prof. Juha Kansikas ABSTRACT Author Purnachand Valluru Tittle of thesis Sustainable Cargo Check-in Solutions for Tallink Silja Oyj Discipline Type of work International Business and Entrepreneurship Master’s thesis Time (month/year) Number of pages July 2021 69 pages Abstract The thesis marks the end of my graduation for the degree program of M.Sc. International Business and Entrepreneurship (IBE) at the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. The main inspiration behind my thesis was the search for a thesis topic with pragmatic implications. It was an earned opportunity because of my participation in a maritime business case competition (IntelligenceHunt2) on behalf of Tallink Silja Oyj (Subsidary of Tallink Grupp AS). The purpose of this thesis is to explore different methods that can be implemented by Tallink Silja for sustainable and efficient check-in of cargo trucks into their vessels oper- ating in various Baltic cities. The topic explored is a real case scenario with on ground implications. My thesis aims to deliver solutions by exploring different barriers that are product of the natural evolution of human lifestyle and suggest solutions using techno- logical advancements and innovations to overcome said barriers and increase efficiency. In order to understand this qualitative and multiple case study analysis based thesis more thoroughly. I took a look at different theoretical themes such as Sustainability in logistics, Rapid ur- banisation and its effects, the need for Digitalisation and then move towards further ex- plaining the current check-in methods and finally offer our researched and recommended solutions with giving a brief idea into the challenges that company might face implement- ing these solutions.

  • Vernal Phytoplankton Bloom in the Baltic Sea: Intensity and Relation to T Nutrient Regime ⁎ Mika Raateoja , Heidi Hällfors, Seppo Kaitala
    Journal of Sea Research 138 (2018) 24–33 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Journal of Sea Research journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/seares Vernal phytoplankton bloom in the Baltic Sea: Intensity and relation to T nutrient regime ⁎ Mika Raateoja , Heidi Hällfors, Seppo Kaitala Marine Research Centre, Finnish Environment Institute, P.O. Box 240, Helsinki, Finland ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: The intensity of the vernal phytoplankton bloom (VPB) was quantified in the Baltic Sea in 1993–2012, and its Baltic Sea relation to the wintertime growth-limiting nutrient pool (the dissolved inorganic nitrogen, DIN, in our case) was Phytoplankton assessed. The intensity of the VPB (IVPB, μg/l of Chl a) was based on the integration of the measured chlorophyll Spring bloom a (Chl a) concentration over time and was estimated for the Arkona Basin, the Bornholm Basin, the Eastern Chlorophyll a Gotland Basin, the Northern Gotland Basin and the western Gulf of Finland. The conventional research vessel Nutrients based monitoring supplemented with the ship-of-opportunity data provided a close insight into the VPB dy- namics. The highly variable climatic forcing in the Baltic Sea area produces large inter-annual variation in how the VPB progresses during the spring within the frames set by available DIN. As a result, the IVPB exhibited an 8- fold variation when all the sub-regions were taken into account (3 to 24 μg/l of Chl a), compared to a 5-fold corresponding variation in DIN (2.1 to 9.7 μmol/l). Consequently, the inter-annual variation in the wintertime DIN pool explained the inter-annual variation in the IVPB well only in the Bornholm Basin (regression: p < .001), fairly in the Arkona Basin (regression: p < .05), and for the other basins no relation was detected.

    1 (9) 6.4.2021 Helsinki VTS, sector 1 MASTER’S GUIDE Vessel Traffic Services The provisions on vessel traffic services are laid down in the Vessel Traffic Service Act 623/2005 and in the Government Decrees on Vessel Traffic Service 763/2005, 1798/2009, 1304/2011 and 1216/2018. PARTICIPATION IN VESSEL TRAFFIC SERVICES Vessels of 24 metres in length overall or more are obliged to participate in the vessel traffic services. When navigating in the VTS area, vessels are required to maintain a continuous listening watch on the working channel used in the area. Furthermore, vessels are obliged to obey the rules relevant to the traffic in the VTS area. More detailed instructions about the required reports and working channels can be found in the regional VTS guide. Vessels navigating in the VTS area, which are not obliged to participate in the vessel traffic services, are recommended to maintain a listening watch on the working channel in the VTS area or sector in question. OPERATIONAL HOURS AND LOCATION OF VTS CENTRES In Finland the vessel traffic services (VTS services) are operated by Fintraffic Vessel Traffic Services Ltd (Fintraffic VTS). VTS centres are located in Turku, Helsinki and Lappeenranta. The sea areas at the Finnish coast are divided into six VTS areas. These are Bothnia VTS, West Coast VTS, Archipelago VTS, Hanko VTS, Helsinki VTS and Kotka VTS. In addition, Saimaa VTS operates in the Saimaa deep water fairway. Along the coast VTS services are provided 24 h/day throughout the year. There may be operational interruptions due to technical problems or an unexpected shortage of personnel.
