News and Views World Ship Society Southend Branch News and Views Newsletter Edition 25 22nd February 2021 Chairman & Secretary Stuart Emery [email protected] News & Views Coordinator Richard King [email protected] Thanks go to everybody their contributions. For this edition we have shown the credits February is usually the month of our members night where people give a short talk on a subject of their interest. Arguably News & Views is like this all of the time. But this edition is an attempt at a reader’s edition and coincided with a U3A Maritime meeting.

Under the agreement, tires will be loaded in containers and shipped from Michelin’s facilities in Halifax, Nova Scotia to Saint-Nazaire, France as soon as the Neoline’s first ships enter service in 2023. Michelin’s interest in sailing cargo ships comes as the group seeks to decarbonize its logistics supply chains as part of its commitment to zero-carbon emissions by 2050. France-based Neoline was established in 2015 with the intention of the becoming the world’s first shipowner specializing in modern cargo ships that use sails for its main propulsion. The company is in the process of constructing its first two ships that will operate between St- Nazaire, Halifax, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and Baltimore on the U.S. east coast. The two pilot ships will be 136-meter long and have capacity of 500 cars and 280 containers. With 4,200 square meters of sail area and engine assist, Neoline believes it can achieve a speed of at least 11 knots to keep with its biweekly service schedule while also achieving verified bunker fuel savings. With the two ships in service, Michelin said it can commit to shipping 50% of its tires shipped from Halifax to St-Nazaire. Ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge Agree to Merge The ports of Antwerp and Zeebrugge have reached an agreement to join forces through the merger of the two ports. The unification is expected to take about a year to finalize and, once completed, the ports will operate under the new name Port of Antwerp-Bruges. The combination is expected to strengthen their position within the global supply chain and facilitate the transition towards a “low-carbon economy.” It will also build on each port’s strengths. Antwerp specializes in the handling and storage of containers, break bulk and chemical products, while Zeebrugge is a major port for RoRo traffic, container handling and the transhipment of liquid natural gas. “The merged port will become the most important container port (157 million tonnes/year), one of the largest break bulk ports and the largest port for the throughput of vehicles in Europe,” the ports said in a press release. “Furthermore, the port will account for more than 15% of Europe’s liquid natural gas transited and it will of course remain Europe’s most important chemical hub. Finally, it will be the largest port for cruise ships in the Benelux. With a total throughput of 278 million tonnes per year, the unified port will be able to consolidate its leading position in the world.” Port of Antwerp-Bruges will also seek to develop interconnectivity between the two locations. Pacific Encounter refurbished with new P&O Cruises Australia livery FacebookTwitterPrintMore P&O CRUISES AUSTRALIA Pacific Encounter now features the P&O Cruises Australia livery and logo Pacific Encounter, the new ship acquired by P&O Cruises Australia, has departed the shipyard in Singapore after completing the first part of her refurbishment. The ship now features the P&O Cruises Australia livery and large funnel logo, which is 20 metres wide and eight metres high. She has also been fitted out with several of the cruise line’s signature features, including a multi-storey atrium with a modern Australian décor. Dining outlets including the Waterfront Restaurant, Dragon Lady and Angelo’s have been added, while new venues onboard the ship will include a traditional Neapolitan pizzeria from Melbourne chef Johnny Di Francesco and several outlets from chef and restauranteur Luke Mangan. Pacific Encounter will complete her renovations over the next few months before joining Pacific Adventure and Pacific Explorer in the P&O fleet. Saga to build new ship for river cruise fleet FacebookTwitterPrintMore SAGA Features onboard Spirit of the Danube will include a lounge, library, bar and two restaurants Saga Cruises is to add a new ship, Spirit of the Danube, to its river cruise fleet, with construction officially commencing as a keel laying ceremony was held in Vahali’s shipyard in Serbia. “Spirit of the Danube joining the fleet marks an exciting milestone in this journey and we cannot wait until she joins her sister ship Spirit of the Rhine next year. Guests will be able to enjoy a range of first-class facilities and we cannot wait to show everything our latest ship has to offer.” Spirit of the Danube will have capacity for 190 passengers. Features onboard will include a lounge, library, bar and two restaurants, one of which will serve a signature dish from celebrity chef Mark Sargeant. The ship will host a range of celebrities on future cruises, including Sergeant, TV presenter and natural historian Miranda Krestovnikoff, antiques expert Eric Knowles and horticulturalist Sir Roddy Llewellyn. The ship is scheduled for delivery from Vahali in 2022, joining Saga’s first river cruise ship Spirit of the Rhine. Its inaugural cruise will depart from Amsterdam, Netherlands, with future destinations including Budapest, Hungary; Vienna, Austria; and Tulcea, Romania. Saga has also announced that all guests will be required to be vaccinated against Covid-19 before travelling with the company. Korean shipbuilders top January order book, taking up half of global orders. South Korean shipbuilders topped order book ranking in January, with orders surging by 13 times versus barren month of a year ago. According to British shipbuilding and marine industry tracker Clarkson Research Services on Tuesday, Korean shipbuilders won orders of 910,000 compensated gross tonnage (CGT) or 20 vessels in January to account for 54 percent of the global total of 1.7 million CGTs or 66 vessels. The feat is a stark difference from a year ago when Korea drew a mere 70,000 CGTs (2 vessels). China followed with orders of 510,000 CGTs (32 vessels) and Japan with 260,000 CGTs (12 vessels). Korean shipbuilders bagged new orders for eight container ships with a capacity of more than 12,000 TEUs, two liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers with a capacity of more than 140,000 cubic meters, and two very large crude carriers (VLCC), clinching 100 percent market share in their mainstay businesses. Global order backlog dropped 3 percent from a month ago to 69.78 million CGTs as of late January. Chinese shipyards have the largest backlog of 24.59 million CGTs, followed by Korean with 21.88 million CGTs and Japan with 8.39 million CGTs, Still Korea’s decline was modest compared with its Asian rivals – Japan (minus 34 percent) and China (minus 12 percent). Another good news is higher vessel prices. The Clarkson Newbuilding Price Index showed an uptick of 1 point from a month earlier to 127 points. Prices of VLCCs, Smax oil tankers, container ships and LNG carriers all increased. Clarkson Research forecast this year`s volume of marine transported goods at 11.9 billion tons, up from 11.3 billion tons from a year ago Stena Line to launch two battery-powered ships by 2030 FacebookTwitterPrintMore Stena Line is to begin operating two battery-powered vessels on the route between Gothenburg and Frederikshavn in Denmark before 2030. Stena Elektra will be the world’s first fossil fuel-free ro-pax vessel, according to Stena Line. She will measure around 200 metres in length and will have capacity for 1,000 passengers. The vessel will be built from high tensile steel to lower the weight and increase efficiency, and it is estimated that she will be able to run on battery power for approximately 50 nautical miles, the distance between Gothenburg and Frederikshavn. To achieve this distance, the battery capacity will need to be approximately 60-70 MWh and be charged while the ship is in port. Stena Line is also investigating the possibility of combining electrification with other alternative fossil free fuels such as fuel cells, hydrogen and bio methanol to give the vessels a greater reach.

  • Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No
    All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 283 – MAY 2018 Editorial NWS Members in Europe will have probably heard about the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which aims to strengthen data protection for people in the EU. The NWS is subject to the law and we are looking at what the change means exactly. I hold Members email addresses and would never pass details on without the prior, explicit consent of any Member. Your email address will continue to be held for the purpose of distributing “All Guns Blazing”, items of interest to Members and “Battlefleet”. A reminder to all to let Simon and I know if you change your email address so that we do not lose touch. Somewhere in the world the sun is over the yardarm. Norman Bell Good news from Dave Sharp. I can now confirm that the UK Naval Wargames Weekend will take place at the Fleet Air Arm Museum Yeovilton on the 30th June and 1st July. As last year we will need to charge members attending to cover costs. This will be £5 for one day, £7.50 for both as last year. Attendees will be able to access the museum without charge (normally £13 if booked online). Please could you let me know if you are able to put on a game. Please give an indication of the theme and the number of tables you will require. The space available is ample but I will need to ensure enough tables are provided. [email protected] Many thanks, Dave My understanding is that the function room is a large room beside the restaurant, in front of the museum.

The water seems blacker in the harbour and the decorative lighting in the streets seems somehow chiller, with a lack of people on the pavements By Dr J J “Jeff” Liston FLS, beneath it. 2020 has been a tougher year, not just with COVID, but the Chair of Newhaven Heritage people taken from us in this time, whether relatives, colleagues or friends (or even former milkmen from Fountainbridge). Not least among these is David Mackenzie, a dedicated researcher and member of our committee, for whom an obituary can be found elsewhere in this issue. His understanding of archives and the information that could be gleaned from them and online to aid the restoration of a proper Newhaven Museum to the area was utterly invaluable in the last year, and he will be sorely missed. A further loss is my Vice-Chair, the redoubtable Heather Yang. As well as a ‘chairship’, we have some things in common: most bizarrely, Heather and I have both worked in Kunming in Yunnan Province, China.

  • Ship-Breaking.Com Information Bulletins on Ship Demolition, # 8 - 11 from January 1, to December 31, 2007
    Ship-breaking.com Information bulletins on ship demolition, # 8 - 11 from January 1, to December 31, 2007 Robin des Bois 2008 Press release January, 24th 2008 Global Statement 2007 of Shipping Vessels Sent to Demolition For the 2nd consecutive year, Robin des Bois has been studying in detail the reality of the ship breaking market. The mobilisation and the analysis of about thirty diverse and specialised bibliographical sources made it possible to establish an inventory of the vessels sent to be demolished in 2007. In 2006, Robin des Bois tallied 293 vessels sold for demolition. In 2007, we listed 288 of them. If this decline in demolished vessels is modest (-2%), it is a little more significant with regard to the total weight of recycled metals: 1.7 million ton in 2007 against 1.9 million in 2006 (-10%). The situation differs however according to the category of ships considered: the number of tankers (oil tankers, chemical tankers, gas carriers) dismantled in 2007 increased by almost 30 % compared with 2006 whereas that of the bulk carriers and other general cargo ships decreased by almost 40 %; the average age of the tankers sent to demolition is 29 years, the average age for all the vessels is 31 years, the average age of bulk carriers 34 years. Of the 288 vessels, 95 (33 %) were under a European flag or belonged to ship-owners established in the European Union or members of the European Association of Free Exchange (EFTA) or members of the principalities like Monaco. Not one of the international exchanges linking these European ship-owners to non-European demolition sites were preceded by any asbestos removal.

  • HMS Vindictive V2.Docx
    Twisting the Dragon’s Tail H.M.S. Vindictive H.M.S. Vindictive was an Arrogant-class protected cruiser built at H.M. Dockyard Portsmouth. She was launched in December 1897 and commissioned in July 1900, entering service with the Mediterranean Squadron. The Arrogant class was designed to operate with the main battle fleet; being intended to finish off crippled enemy ships by ramming, and were originally described as "Fleet Rams". She was refitted between 1909 and 1910 for service in the 3rd Division of the Home H.M.S. Vindictive (as built): Armament (1900): Fleet, during which the 4.7” guns were replaced by additional 6” guns.

  • Rural Economy & Connectivity Committee
    Rural Economy & Connectivity Committee Inquiry into construction and procurement of ferry vessels in Scotland Evidence submission from Mull & Iona Ferry Committee. This paper focusses on questions surrounding the design of 801/802 and prevailing ferry norms in the CalMac fleet. 12/01/20 Page 1 of 16 BACKGROUND Hulls 801 and 802 are not planned to serve routes to Mull or Iona, but their introduction was intended to have a profound positive effect on our main service between Oban and Craignure. Hull 802 was originally due to be deployed in 2018 to Uig, which would release the MV Hebrides to move to Mull. Oban – Craignure is currently served by two vessels in summer – the MV Isle of Mull (31 years old, 70 car capacity), and the MV Coruisk (16 years old, 40 car capacity). Prior to the introduction of RET in 2015, the MV Isle of Mull operated the service on her own. Since RET however, summer vehicle carryings have increased by 31% and the Coruisk was added to the summer service to add capacity. Even with two vessels there is still inadequate vehicle capacity, and a vessel larger than the Coruisk is urgently needed. DIRECT IMMEDIATE EFFECT ON MULL AND IONA. The Oban – Craignure Route is the most congested in the entire CalMac network, as shown by the table to the left. The route most in need of additional capacity is therefore Oban-Craignure, and of all the islands, it is Mull and Iona that will be damaged most as a result of the late delivery of hulls 801 and 802.

  • A Outra Guerra Do Fim Do Mundo As Malvinas E “Redemocratização” Da a Mérica Do Sul
    $RXWUDJXHUUDGR¿PGRPXQGR 6HomR(VSHFLDO A OUTRA GUERRA DO FIM DO MUNDO AS MALVINAS E “REDEMOCRATIZAÇÃO” DA A MÉRICA DO SUL Osvaldo Coggiola 1. QUESTÃO NACIONAL, MILITARISMO, MALVINAS Entre inícios de abril e meados de junho de 1982 teve lugar o enfrentamento militar entre Argentina e Inglaterra (apoiada pelos EUA) pela posse e soberania das Ilhas Malvinas, ocupadas por tropas argentinas a 2 de abril de 1982. Depois da Segunda Guerra Mundial, o das Malvinas foi um dos conitos em que mais perto se esteve do uso de armas atômicas, carregadas pela frota inglesa ao Atlântico Sul para seu eventual uso contra o território continental argentino. Na guerra, as forças armadas argentinas usaram 14.200 soldados; o Reino Unido, 29.700, com armamento e apoio logístico muito superior. O saldo nal da guerra foi a recuperação do arquipélago pelo Reino Unido e a morte de 650 soldados argentinos, além de 1068 feridos (muitos de gravidade) e de 11.313 prisioneiros; de 255 soldados britânicos, e de três civis das ilhas, mortos, além de 777 feridos. Na década posterior à guerra, houve aproximadamente 350 suicídios de ex-combatentes argentinos, reduzidos na sua maioria a uma situação de miséria social; os suicídios de ex soldados ingleses atingiram a soma de 264. O cenário bélico, incluída a ilusão da ditadura argentina de recuperar as ilhas pela via do enfrentamento (ou da ameaça) militar convencional, foi preparado no contexto da militarização das economias e das sociedades sul-americanas, no período dominado pelas ditaduras militares.
