Tumpahan minyak Tanjung Ayam jejas nelayan

05:32 MARITIME NEWS No Comments

KOTA TINGGI: Nasib lebih 400 nelayan pesisir pantai di sebahagian kawasan Pengerang di sini, kian terancam kesan daripada tumpahan minyak akibat pertembungan dua kapal di Tanjung Stapa di sini, awal pagi kelmarin.

Lebih membimbangkan, hampir 2,000 tan minyak yang bertebaran di tengah laut mula menular di beberapa kawasan nelayan berpotensi termasuk Kampung Sungai Rengit, Kampung Sungai Buntu, Kampung Sungai Kapal, Kampung Teluk Empang, Kampung Langkah Baik, Kampung Jawa dan Kampung Sebong.

Nelayan dari Kampung Sungai Buntu, Aziz Mohd Shah, 58, yang mencari rezeki dengan menjaring udang kaki merah dan udang kara di sekitar Tanjung Ayam berkata, dia dan nelayan lain turut diancam kerugian selepas jaringnya rosak akibat tumpahan minyak terbabit.

Menurut Aziz, dia mula menyedari kehadiran sebahagian kecil tumpahan minyak di kawasan berdekatan pesisir pantai ketika sibuk menjaring udang, kira-kira jam 6.30 petang kelmarin.

“Nasib saya baik kerana sudah menyedari kehadiran tompokan minyak panjang dipercayai dibawa arus ke kawasan kami biasa memancing sejak semalam (kelmarin).

“Namun apabila ke laut jam 6.30 pagi tadi (semalam), saya gagal mengelak kesan minyak hingga menyebabkan separuh daripada jaring yang digunakan rosak akibat terlekat minyak,” katanya.

Rakannya, Samsudin Mohamed Yusoff, 49, yang menjaring di kawasan sama berkata, ancaman tumpahan minyak itu tidak menentu kerana ia bergantung kepada haluan angin.

“Di permukaan laut, ia cair namun sekiranya sampai ke pesisir pantai ia akan menjadi kering dan pekat hingga mendatangkan risiko kepada peralatan menjaring.

“Bagaimanapun, buat masa ini, jika jaring kotor terkena minyak, kami boleh tukar dengan menanggung kosnya kira-kira RM68. Namun apa yang dikesalkan, pendapatan kasar kami sebanyak RM1,200 sebulan bakal terjejas dan kami terpaksa menanggung kerugian besar sekiranya tumpahan minyak merebak ke sini,” katanya.

Review about merchant navy officer

22:53 SEAFARER'S LIFE 1 Comment

So you want to join the merchant navy as an officer? You've heard all those stories about being paid to visit foreign countries, haven't you? What about the girl in every port stories? And you must have been told about the exciting life we sailors lead, right? Are these stories true? Do you think you have it in you to sail the high seas? Well, I am here to tell you about the REAL merchant navy - some of the stories you've heard are true, some are not. I have been sailing for the past 23 years including 8 years as Captain so I am giving you an inside view.

Before we begin, let me first clarify something, the merchant navy isn't the same as the Indian navy. Merchant ships carry cargo as the name suggests, we are not the fighting navy. The cargo could be containers, oil, passengers, animals, bulk ore etc.

So what is the big attraction of the merchant navy? Usually two things come to mind - money and foreign travel. There are other benefits like tax free income, quick promotions and an exciting life. But the money is the main temptation. You get fat pay checks and you don't pay tax (if you stay out of the country for more than 6 months in a financial year). You start earning a big salary at a very young age.

To give you an example, the starting salary for a 22 year old 3rd officer or 4th engineer (junior most officers on board ships) on an oil tanker is be more than 1500 $ per month (conservatively speaking). This amount depends on the type of ship and the company you join so don't quote me! Officers normally work on a contract basis. Junior officers do 6 to 9 month contracts, while senior officers do 3 to 6 months on board. Remember that you get paid ONLY when you are on board. So technically, your salary is half of what you are said to get.

Why do ship owners pay you so much? There has to be a catch, right? The catch is, you stay away from home for extended periods of time. In fact you spend most of your time at sea rather than on land. Sure you get to visit foreign countries but things have changed now. Its not as if you reach a port and everyone goes ashore.

Work continues with every officer / crew member working in shifts (watches as we call them). You are free to go ashore once you have completed your watch but don't forget that you have to come back from your shore leave and work again. So, you either sleep or you go ashore. Work on a ship, never stops. As long as the ship is doing something - sailing, loading / discharging cargo, it's making money for the ship owner.

Port stays have gone down considerably so the ship is in port for a short time. Of course, this depends on the type of ship you are on. Container ships are in port for a few hours (YES few hours), oil tankers for 24 hrs, cargo ships and bulk carriers stay longer in port. Watches in port are usually on a 6 on 6 off basis, 6 hours on duty, 6 hours off duty, and then you are back to work. Hence you cannot go ashore in every port because you need to rest sometime.

The ship owner is paying you to stay on board, not to go ashore! Its not all bad news, you do get to go ashore and do some shopping and maybe sight seeing. Ports are normally far away from civilization. Travelling to and fro takes up time and is not cheap.

With visa restrictions post 9/11, many countries will not let you stay back for a holiday after you complete your tenure on your ship. So now you know why the ship owner pays you so much. You are being paid for staying away from family and home, you are being paid for long stints at sea and hardly any chance to go ashore. By the way, the girl in every port stories you have heard is pure myth!!! You will not get time to meet girls and if you do meet girls then they will be the wrong kind. Some companies do allow officers (usually senior officers) to carry their family (wife / kids) with them.

No problem you say, I can handle everything, just as long as I get paid well. That's just fine, as long as you are aware of what you are getting into. Expect to work with a multinational crew. Expect multinational cuisine. Expect cultural differences, your Captain could be from U.K. while the other officers / crew could be from Philippines, India, Croatia, Bangladesh or some other country.

This variety means that you may not have much in common with them. You might have to spend time alone in your cabin. Can you handle being by yourself? Of course, it might be possible that you are lucky and you get along with everyone, in which case you will enjoy yourself soaking in the various cultures. Or you could be luckier and get to sail with a majority of your nationality. It all depends on the company you work for. During your leisure time you can watch movies, play indoor games (cards, carom etc), work out in the gym (most ships have one) or just relax in your cabin.

Most companies allow officers to send emails home and receive them. Of course, there are restrictions on the number and size of emails after all, satellites are used for transmitting/receiving emails. You will get snail mail (conventional paper letters) when the ship touches port but usually not more than once a month.

Now we come to work. Each type of ship requires specialized crew. Each department on board a ship has different duties - the deck department looks after the navigation and loading / discharging of cargo while the engine department looks after maintenance of various machines. Life on board every ship is not the same. Some ships are old so you need to work harder to keep them running. Some ships are newer and are easier to work on.

Oil tankers, gas carriers need special training and experience. Container ships and bulk carriers have similarly experienced crew. While at sea, officers generally do 4 on 8 off - 4 hours duty and 8 hours off. This does not mean that after you finish your 4 hours of duty, you can go to sleep. No, you might have to work on other things like maintenance of machinery/equipment.

Normally officers and crew work 10 hour days. This is a general statement and is not a hard and fast rule. Work loads increase considerably, when ships are in port. Officers and crew are on watches throughout the day and night. There is no weekend for them - there is no such thing as a public holiday. If one officer falls sick, then the other officers on board share his duties until he is fit again. Normally ships do not carry doctors on board unless you are on a passenger ship. Ships carry medicines and all officers are trained for first aid / medical emergencies. Whenever ships touch port, medical treatment can be provided ashore.

Another aspect to think about is the weather. Ships do run into bad weather (read storms). Even the biggest ship is but a toy when up against the fury of the sea. Sea sickness is not something to be scoffed at. Before you take up a career at sea you had better make sure that you don't get sea sick. Take a trip on a boat to get the feel of things.

Right...now you are aware of various aspects of the merchant navy, money, foreign travel, life on board, work and rest hours, medical facilities, weather etc. What? You still want to join the merchant navy? Bravo!! We need guys just like you - guys who join with their eyes open, guys who don't have wrong ideas about a career at sea. So how do you go about joining the merchant navy? Information is available on the net. In addition, you can keep an eye out for advertisements in major newspapers.

A word of caution, don't be in a hurry to hand over money to some agent who assures you of a job at sea. Check his credentials; check the credentials of the company or training institution you intend to join. Preferably, find someone who is already at sea and who can guide you. This is one profession where a mentor is always a good idea.

I have been sailing for the past 23 years including 8 years as Captain. To me the merchant navy is wonderful. It has given me everything I dreamed of and wanted in life. Life on board ships isn't easy but its not as bad as it is made out to be sometimes. As there seem to be a lot of extreme views on this career, I have tried to give you the real picture. This is a serious profession where you have to work hard and your hard work pays (quite literally)!

I am a Merchant Navy officer living in Mumbai. When I am not sailing the high seas, I enjoy surfing the net, playing computer games, swimming, listening to music, and reading books.

Ship reporting system

19:57 ILMU PELAYARAN No Comments

Ship Reporting system is very important for safe navigation. Whether it is a local or international requirement, it should be followed diligently. The purposes of “Ship Reporting System” are:

• Ship Reporting System regulates and monitors ship’s traffic in the area
• It puts a standard of safety particularly to sensitive environments or aquatic ecosystem
• It helps in promoting safe and efficient navigation for all ships participating in it

Our Responsibility

• We must comply and participate in every ship reporting system
• We must send the report on time through designated stations either by voice or through messages
• Participating on Voluntary reporting schemes is highly recommended

These are just some of the importance of “Ship Reporting System”. As seaman on board the ship, we must promote a more prompt and accurate reporting whenever we participate in any reporting system. It is for our own safety.

How to make a Voyage Plan

18:47 ILMU PELAYARAN No Comments

Nautical Chart important for seafarer
making their passage plan

The Voyage Plan is the basic knowledge that a ship officer, particularly a deck officer should know. It is a very important part of navigation. In modern shipping; Port State Control, Vetting Inspections, and other related inspectors coming onboard the ship would check your Voyage Plan. Are you prepared to make a voyage plan? Are you reluctant or afraid to make a voyage plan? I’ll guide you to some pointers that you will need in preparing in making a voyage plan.

In this fast growing maritime industry, different types of inspectors would normally ask a lot on how you make a voyage plan. I’ve been onboard tanker ships and believe me; inspectors ask a lot about the charts, publications, and the voyage plan. What should you do?

• First of all you should know what tools you will need before you start making a voyage plan.

• You must know your destination port in order to pre-plan your route.

• You must ask the captain regarding distance-off coasts, additional instructions and information from the charterers and agent of the destination port, restrictions during the voyage with regards to your draft and air draft, tides and currents of the destination port, reporting procedures during the passage or voyage, and so-on. I will elaborate it later as we start discussing about the checklist and the plotting.

• After gathering all of that information, you will start planning your course, identify your waypoints, and start calculating your courses and distances.

• If you’re not crossing any ocean, you can simply use “Mercator sailing”.

• If you’re crossing an ocean, you can use “Great Circle Sailing or Composite Sailing”, but that is under the approval of your Captain.

• Remember that all your actions is an extension of the Captains authority, but in such cases that you have doubt that it will involve or may jeopardize the safety of the ship, it is better to consult or ask the Captain about it. After all, he is the over-all in-charge of the vessel.

What you will need

You will need books to guide you through this instruction to be able to clearly visualize what I’m trying to say. These books are available onboard the ship’s library, located on the Navigation Bridge. As officers and aspiring officers I encourage you to read a lot, and know what you read, and start asking questions. That is how you will learn it onboard the ship. The books are as follows:

• Bridge Team Management 2nd Edition (by: Capt. AJ Smith)

• Bridge Procedures and Guide 4th Edition (International Chamber of Shipping)

• Guides to Port Entry

• Nautical Publications

• Charts and Chart Catalogue

• Notice to Mariners

• Navarea navigational warnings

• Weather routing

Start making your Voyage Plan

I hope I didn’t miss anything but it is better to check your company’s checklist regarding “Passage Plan Appraisal” to be sure. If you cannot find it, you can simply find a useful checklist on the book “Bridge Procedures Guide”. Always look for the latest edition that you have onboard. Now that you have the tools and information that you need, you can start making your voyage plan.

• First, list down the charts that you will need during the passage. This will include large scale charts, which you will use during coastal navigation; and small scale charts, which you will use during ocean navigation.

• With the list that you’ve made, start arranging the charts according to the consecutive order that you have listed.

• Always have a general or index chart, which you will use as reference, especially when you’re handling a lot of charts. As beginners you would most likely get lost in plotting. You must have an overview where you are plotting your courses.

• Remember that the distance to go that you will give to your Captain will be from pilot to pilot station. That means from pilot station departure port to pilot station arrival port. The Pilotage waypoint is not included in your sea passage calculation of distance run. You will have a different calculation for that.

• You must know how much will be the remaining distance from pilot station to berth.

• When you already have your list of waypoints, start calculating your courses and distances. There are a lot of computer software that you can use to calculate course and distance. Don’t torture yourself calculating them manually.

• When you are already sure and satisfied with the results, you can tell the captain the distance to go to the next port.

Plotting your courses

When plotting your courses, always put in mind your maximum draft, air draft, maneuverability of your ship, etc.

• You must know your ship’s limitation.

• Apply parallel indexing, position frequency, course alteration or wheel over position, bearing and distance off from a landmark, bouyage system, reporting positions and reporting systems, leading lines, and other means of position fixing other than GPS and ARPA.

• All of this is listed down in the book “Bridge Team Management”.

Paper works

Preparing the Chart is just one part of the voyage plan, You must also prepare the Voyage Planning report which will be signed by you as the navigating officer and co-signed by the Master, Chief Officer and the Third officer, to indicate that they concur to the voyage plan that you have prepared and have checked that it is safe to navigate the ship as per voyage plan.

Your first voyage plan will most likely consume a lot of your time. Don’t be discouraged! As you go along and as you do it every time, you will get used to it and you will find a system or a way to make it easier. Constant upgrading of your knowledge will be your key to success and awareness to our constantly evolving and improving Maritime Industry.

How To Pass Your Board Exam

18:27 MARITIME DISCUSSION No Comments

Have you ever asked yourself if you will be able to pass the exam? Have you ever tried taking the exam? Have you ever been in a situation wherein you don’t know where to start or how to begin studying for your exam? Here are some personal tips that I have always used to improve my study habits to prepare myself in the coming exam:

Tip No. 1: Study starts on day one. At the end of each day read over the notes for the topics that you have discussed. Do not try to learn them, simply read them through and make sure that you understand what is being said. Learning naturally comes after reading and understanding. Ask questions about certain topics that you do not understand. Don’t let the day pass you by and leave it unanswered. It is a good habit to start studying on day one rather than cramming. It will most likely cause you to have mental block if you’re forcing yourself to remember what you are studying immediately.

Tip No. 2: Try not to study on your own. Look for a study partner so that both of you shall benefit from improved understanding of different topic. Remember, two heads are better than one.

Tip No. 3: Don’t overdo it! Try to study 30 to 45 minutes and then find an activity that you can do for 15 minutes in between study periods. For example: you can watch TV, do some stretching, watch your favorite DVDs, do something to take away the boredom that’s settling in your mind. Your no. 1 enemy is boredom. Try to overcome it. Your brain needs to reset, and besides the first 30 to 45 minutes is the maximum time you can study with efficiency.

Tip No. 4: If you are studying in the evening, do not go straight to bed afterwards. Your mind will still be thinking of the topics you have just studied. Do something that would completely get you away from your studies. Remember that you also need a good rest. You should take care of your health. You don’t want to end up having a fever or feeling uneasy during your board exam.

Tip No. 5: Stay healthy: get enough sleep and eat sensibly. Take regular exercise and vitamins. A healthy Mind and a healthy Body will be your basic requirements during the exam.

Tip No. 6: Always think positive. You want to attract good vibes with you right? So start thinking that you will pass the exam.

Tip No. 7: Go to church and pray harder. My first captain always told me “The Board exam is 40% of study, and 60% of prayer.” It’s a stiff exam that you will be taking. You should be prepared for everything.

Tip No. 8: Simply do your best; you cannot do more than that.

Try also finding a good place to study. I always have a table with a lamp on it. I don’t want a very bright light when I’m studying, only a dim light background to see my room is enough for me. Also stick all the formulas you are having hard time to remember on your favorite wall in your room. Try reading it every day, or even just imagine it. Recall is your key to fast learning. I hope this tips will help you. Good luck.

Maritime Museum Melaka @ Flor de Lamar

10:09 Promote 1 Comment

date : 13 March 2010
author : ex-seafarer

This museum is constructed as the replica of the sunken Portuguese ship Flor De La Mar. Visitors can get closer look at Melaka from the famed Malay Sultanate of the 14th century to the Portuguese era, the Dutch era and the British era. It comprises Samudera Museum Phase I – Flor de Lamar (Replica Ship), Samudera Museum Phase II, Royal Malaysian Navy Museum and KD Sri Terengganu ship.

Side View From Accros The Road

The Flor de Lamar is located at Jalan Quayside, Banda Hilir and near the mouth of the Melaka River. Also in front of Medan Samudera (handicraft & local products shop). Just a few minutes when you are in a walking tour or you also can take a trishaw ride to be there. For me, a tour on foot is the best way to get up close to appreciate the magnificent facades such as museums, gallery, mosques, churches and the historical fort all around Banda Hilir, the heritage site.

The ship is measuring a height of 34 meters and a width of 8 meters. The museum focuses on the maritime history of Melaka and the golden age of the Melaka sultanate as the Emporium of the East. All the museum exhibits articles used by seamen of yesteryear and some sunken treasure hauled up from another shipwreck, the Diana. Two new wings built to the Maritime Museum Complex house artifacts from the Royal Malaysian Navy and the World Wide Fund for Nature. The Royal Malaysian Navy also displays a former navy boat, KD Terengganu and a helicopter, WASP MK1, outside the Complex.
