22nd Volume, No. 47 1963 – “57 years tugboatman” – 2021 Dated 16 June 2021 Buying, Sales, New building, Renaming and other Tugs Towing & Offshore Industry News Distribution twice a week 18,400+ M I D W E E K – E D I T I O N TUGS & TOWING NEWS KOC AL ZOUR – KUWAIT OIL COMPANY ADDS 60M OIL RECOVERY VESSEL TO FLEET Uzmar Shipyard in Turkey has completed a new oil spill response vessel ordered by Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) subsidiary Kuwait Oil Company (KOC). The newbuild, which has been named KOC Al Zour after a region within Southern Kuwait, was developed by Canadian naval architects Robert Allan Ltd (RAL) as the first in a new series of vessels that are derived from one of the company’s existing ASD offshore tug designs. The first steel for the new vessel was cut in September 2019 and construction was completed by early 2021. KOC Al Zour, which both RAL and Uzmar have claimed is the largest vessel of its kind to be built in Turkey, was designed in accordance to Lloyd’s Register class rules to be completely outfitted and equipped to undertake oil spill containment and recovery as well as secondary duties that include area surveillance, offshore firefighting, back flush capabilities, logistics supply duties, towing services, general offshore support services, search and rescue, and other related duties. The vessel is intended for operation in international waters as well as within the waters of the Persian Gulf within Kuwait’s exclusive economic zone. The vessel has dynamic positioning capability and is equipped to carry out recovery, storage, and transfer of recovered oil to barges and/or shore facilities in support of KPC’s oil refinery activities near the Persian Gulf. The comprehensive suite of oil spill response equipment includes a dedicated tank for storing up to 750 cubic metres of recovered oil, a skimmer mounted on a Heila telescopic marine crane with two specialised heads – enabling the vessel to deal with both high- viscosity and low-viscosity oil – and a flow rate of 250 cubic metres per hour, and two spray booms each equipped with nine nozzles and capable of discharging up to 125 litres of chemical dispersant per minute. KOC Al Zour has an LOA of 60 metres, a beam of 14 metres, a gross tonnage of 1,803, and a summer deadweight of 1,450 tonnes. Two Yanmar main diesel engines that each produce 1,620 kW deliver a maximum speed of 13 knots, a cruising speed of eight knots, and a bollard pull of 30 tonnes. The vessel is also designed to be on stand-by at sea for long periods of time. The hull shape 1/33 22ND VOLUME, NO. 47 DATED 16 JUNE 2021 and the optimised location of the anti-roll tanks provide improved seakeeping ability under a wide range of operating conditions, ensuring that the vessel is able to provide adequate oil spill and emergency response at all times. Power for the onboard systems is drawn from a trio of Yanmar generators that each produce 750 ekW. The wheelhouse features two roof-mounted firefighting monitors with water supplied by a 2,400m³/h pump. The wheelhouse also has improved all-round visibility to provide the bridge crew with an unobstructed view of the array of oil spill recovery equipment on the vessel’s aft deck. KOC Al Zour‘s size enables it to easily accommodate a crew of 20 and to sustain them during extended operating periods far from shore. There is also onboard space for a small fast tender and a self-propelled rescue boat as well as davits for their launch and recovery.

(Source: Jiangsu Zhenjiang Shipyards MSC STARTED MEDTUG ACTIVITIES IN ANTWERP WITH A TUGBOAT ORDERED BY MOBY The shipping giant Mediterranean Shipping Company founded by Gianluigi Aponte has started its new port towing business in Antwerp with a brand new vessel that had been ordered from the Damen shipyard, but not collected in recent months, by Moby. This is the Med Castor, a Damen ASD tug 2813 built by the Vietnamese shipyard Damen Song Cam as Orlando Onorato (hull number 513315) and ordered by the Moby Group in 2018 together with other sister units. The first, the Vincenzino O., was taken over in 2019 and is currently employed at the port of Sarroch, in Sardinia. The Orlando Onorato should also have entered service in Cagliari but was not withdrawn by the client probably due to the supervening application for an arrangement presented by the shipping 4/33 22ND VOLUME, NO. 47 DATED 16 JUNE 2021 group controlled by Vincenzo Onorato in mid-2020. The same vessel has now been renamed Med Castor and, after carrying out some sea trials in the month of May, a few days ago it arrived in Belgium and just this week it took up service in the proto of Antwerp. Among its technical characteristics stand out the power equal to 6,772 hp and the 85 ton fixed point pulling capacity. MedTug is not the Msc Group's debut in the towing business because the Aponte shipping group, through the terminal company Medcenter Container Terminal, controls the Con.Tug company at 50%, which guarantees the same service in the port of Gioia Tauro.

    COOTAMUNDRA WAR MEMORIAL ALBERT PARK – HOVELL STREET COOTAMUNDRA WORLD WAR 1 HONOUR ROLL Compilation by Kevin Casey, Breakfast Point 2012 COOTAMUNDRA WAR MEMORIAL – WORLD WAR 1 A marble obelisk and other memorials have been erected in Albert Park in memory of those citizens of Cootamundra and District who served and died in the defence of Australia during times of conflict. The names of many of those who served in World Wars 1 and 2 are engraved and highlighted in gold on the obelisk. This account has been prepared to provide a background to the men associated with the Cootamundra district who served and died in World War 1. While it is acknowledged that an exhaustive list of local men who served in the war has not been compiled, this account briefly highlights the family and military backgrounds of those who did and who are recorded on the obelisk. Other men not listed on the obelisk but who were associated with the district and who also served and died in the war have been identified in the course of the research. They are also included in this account. No doubt further research will identify more men. Hopefully this account will jog a few memories and inspire further research into the topic. An invitation is extended to interested people to add to the knowledge of those who served Those who served came from a wide range of backgrounds. A number of the men had long family associations with the district and many have family members who are still residents of the district.

    Where Truth Is No Defence I

    Where Truth Is No Defence, I Want To Break Free attack him. No-one disliked him. And so we walked away from school thinking about finding some lovely girls at Kyneton! Yes, there were some lovely girls there, though I had a girl at Woodend. But whenever a group of boys is on the prowl, nothing ever happens. We would have been pleased to see Veal marry Miss Edna Pool, the wonderful music teacher. Her task was not an easy one in an environment where many students did not care for classical music. It was not surprising for me to note the rapid decline of music teaching in Victoria’s schools. Twenty years later the scene was somewhat better – but the reluctance or general inertia is just as marked. At Edenhope, where I completed my matriculation, it was a different matter as regards discipline. By this time the education system is entirely voluntary – anyone who does not wish to learn may exit the system. Many students who make it to Year 11 – and this is a worldwide phenomenon – cannot bring along the discipline to complete the final school year. So, what had to be done? The final school year was adapted to such students – it was a democratic right of all students to achieve success at school. The dumbing down of the Western nations had begun. I look back on my education and thank those who dared fail me. No work and thought = no results. But that kind of philosophy is still considered to be oppressive and discriminatory – even racist and anti-Semitic.
