Today I was clicking around in our new maritime domain monitor and clicked on a random vessel, wondering, “What information is actually present for the selected ship from our extended Vessel Information?” 🛳️ FWN Space ended up being the selected one. FWN Space is a ‘General Cargo Ship’ with IMO 9735232 and MMSI 244150516, currently sailing under the flag of the Netherlands. It measures 123 meters in length with a beam of 18 meters and is built in steel. It has a gross tonnage of 6749, a net tonnage of 3408, and a deadweight of 10546 tons. The vessel was built in the Netherlands in 2018 by SCHEEPSWERF FERUS SMIT B.V. and is powered by a Diesel engine providing 2999 kW propulsion power made by CATERPILLAR MOTOREN GmbH & Co. KG. Its registered owner is FWN Space B.V., the ISM Manager is Symphony Shipping with a country of domicile of the Netherlands, and the ship manager is FORESTWAVE NAVIGATION BV. The classification society for FWN Space is Bureau Veritas (BV). The last inspections under Paris MoU were handled in a detailed inspection in Genoa, Italy, under a month ago, with a single deficiency. In February, it was detailed inspected in Newcastle, Great Britain, with 9 deficiencies, and it was not detained. In 2022, it was initially inspected in Izmit, Turkey, under the Mediterranean MoU Port State Control. The vessel is not sanctioned, and its flag performance is White ⚪. In June, the vessel's last port calls were in Port of Rushbrooke, Fenit Harbour, and again Port of Rushbrooke in Ireland, and it is currently moored. The enhanced vessel info also contains information about ATA, ATD, and the predicted next port, but I will stop my small story about a random vessel here. Some say the maritime world is multinational... 🌍 I think I agree. Want to talk with our experts about gaining access to enhanced vessel information? I think you should have a chat with my colleagues Michael Hagbarth Christiansen or Joel Box...

Navigational lights on a ship are specialized lights used to indicate the ship’s size, type, position, direction, and activity to other vessels, ensuring safe navigation, especially at night or in low visibility conditions. The lights are standardized by international maritime rules, such as the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs). Here are the main navigational lights on a ship: 1. Masthead Light: • A white light placed over the fore-and-aft centerline of the vessel. • It shines forward and to the sides in a 225° arc. • Used to indicate the vessel’s direction of travel. 2. Sidelights: • Green light: Shines on the starboard (right) side. • Red light: Shines on the port (left) side. • Both cover an arc of 112.5° from dead ahead to slightly behind the beam on their respective sides. 3. Stern Light: • A white light at the back of the ship. • Covers a 135° arc and shines only aft (behind the vessel).

In load control, ballast refers to the extra weight intentionally added to an aircraft to maintain its balance and ensure the correct Center of Gravity (CG) position for safe and stable flight. Points About Ballast: 1. Purpose: To adjust the aircraft's CG if it's outside the allowable limits due to uneven cargo, luggage, or passenger distribution. Ensures the aircraft remains stable and responds correctly to controls. 2. Types of Ballast: Fixed Ballast: Usually permanent, like lead weights placed in specific aircraft compartments during design. Temporary Ballast: Loaded for specific flights, often sandbags, water containers, or other approved weights. 3. Placement: Ballast is usually placed in the designated cargo compartments or zones, depending on the CG calculation provided during load planning. 4. Load Sheet Documentation: The added ballast is documented on the Load Sheet for the flight crew's awareness. Using ballast effectively is essential to ensuring safe flight operations, especially in situations like light payload or irregular cargo distribution. #AviationSafety #AircraftBalance #LoadControl #FlightOperations #CenterOfGravity #AviationKnowledge #AircraftStability #AviationInsights #LoadPlanning #AviationProfessionals #FlightSafety #AircraftWeightAndBalance #AviationExperts #AirlineOperations #SafeFlying

Port And Starboard of a Ship: In maritime terminology, "port" and "starboard" are essential for navigation and communication aboard a ship. Port refers to the left side of the vessel when facing forward, while starboard denotes the right side. These terms originated from the need to avoid confusion, as "left" and "right" can vary depending on the observer's orientation. Understanding these sides is crucial for safe maneuvering, as many ships have their controls and equipment oriented according to these designations. For instance, when giving directions or coordinating with crew members, using "port" and "starboard" ensures clarity. Additionally, navigational lights differ, with red lights indicating port and green lights indicating starboard, further aiding in nighttime identification of vessels.
