12 aspects (not always considered) that will improve the safety of your fairway or channel. Episode 3 (and the last). As I pointed during last two weeks, the correct design of fairways and channels regarding the use of AtoNs, it is a process that must consider among other aspects, the needs and perspectives who will use them, to diminish the misunderstood and in that way, the potential occurrence of accidents and/or maritime disasters, with loss of human lives, damage to the environment and their assets. These are the last 4 of 12 aspects that IALA deem should be consider during the design of fairways and channels, regarding the use of AtoN. -      The visibility of a visual AtoN may be affected during day and night time by the type of background such as lighting, vegetation, snow, buildings, etc. Due to previous special attention must be given to AtoN´s height, shape, range and capabilities, among other factors. -      The shape and nature of the seabed may have an influence on the type of mooring lines and components, including the sinkers of buoys to be deployed. Seabed composition can additionally have an influence on the designed positioning when laying the anchors / sinkers. -      Should marking be required to indicate two-way traffic areas on a fairway / channel, must be considered that there are no specific AtoN to signaling this purpose, due to previous, appropriate AtoNs are to be used to avoid misunderstanding by the users. -      Existence of other local inland navigation rules or instructions must be considered and clearly informed to navigators, in order to avoid misunderstanding. The suitable AtoN mix according to the consideration of the previous 12 aspects deems by IALA, will enable safe and efficient vessel passage in the most cost-effective way for AtoN providers, and will enhance at the same time, maritime safety, the protection of the environment and your assets. For more detailed AtoN planning, these aspects should be considered by an expert team of professionals and taking in consideration other IALA documents, especially the IALA Maritime Buoyage System (MBS). Don´t miss next week, 3 performance parameters that must be apply to AtoN systems. #IALA #maritimesafety #AtoN #wekeeptheshipsofftherocks

𝗔 𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗲𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗿 Higher salaries for Service Engineers, rising costs and new competition are making it more difficult than ever to remain profitable So many of you are looking at junior technicians for less $$ to train up, hoping they last the test of time so you can recoup the huge investment into training But - It can often take YEARS to become fully competent out in the field & you have contracts that need Servicing NOW So it's difficult to find the balance between giving trainees loads of support (so the service is done to a high standard) Whilst also giving them space to make mistakes and actually learn the craft – to become your future Senior Engineers Trying to walk that tightrope without work becoming unprofitable is a major challenge for 75% of the market  We’ve found a way where you can intentionally hire to reduce that learning curve, without paying through the nose for someone with a decade in the field Let me know if it’s worth finding out how you can do that with your team adam@zenopa.com 980-392-5134

Introducing Mongezi "Bob" Nkomo, our Mechanical Foreman, driving excellence at Sandock Austral Shipyards. 🚢🔧 "As a Mechanical Foreman, my role involves ensuring the completion of equipment installation, propulsion train tasks, and training apprentices to meet SAS and Lloyd's standards. I manage my team's bookings on Syspro, attend progress meetings, and play a pivotal role in commissioning equipment on vessels. One of my most memorable achievements was being named the Most Improved Apprentice of the Year in 2009. It was my first year at the shipyard, and my hard work was recognised. Climbing the ranks to a leadership position, I eventually became the Foreman in the Mechanical department. The most interesting project I've worked on is the HSV (Hydrographic Survey Vessel) project. This vessel, the only one of its kind built in Africa, will significantly impact South Africa's economy. If I had a superhero name, it would be Flash ⚡️. As mechanical fitters, our work often comes after the steel and paint departments, so it's up to us to fast-track and cover any delays. Stranded on a deserted island? I'd take a micro alignment telescope for direction, a hammer for protection and paving the way, and a scriber to remove any thorns." #SandockAustral #MechanicalForeman #Shipbuilding #MaritimeExcellence #Leadership #Innovation #Sustainability #Engineering #Teamwork #Apprenticeship #HSVProject #PrideInWork

When I first left the Tug Boat Life, I thought it might be a mistake until I realized that the offshore part of the maritime industry has so much more potential and opportunities for directional career paths as well as practically endless career advancement opportunities and an abundance of career based maritime schools that offer endless knowledge so each maritime employee can continue to learn, grow and become better continuously throughout their entire career. I absolutely love the maritime industry! After conquering the title “Jack of Trades” I can honestly say that this has been one of the best career choices of my life, only wish I had chose this career direction much sooner, lol. Going forward, my long term goals are to continue schooling as often as possible and learning as much as possible, no matter how high up the ladder I go. My life long goal has been to obtain as much knowledge possible and to endlessly better myself in every way possible. There is no such thing as “The Best” because we can always be better, no matter how good we get, how smart we get, how advanced we become. There will always be room for improvement. We can all be one of the best, but we can never be The Best. This is an extremely important fact of life that will unlock unlimited potential once we learn it, endure it and conquer it.
