While a series of U.S. flag inland push tugs were under construction, ABS was asked to verify compliance with Subchapter M. Due to the vessel’s configuration, the shipyard could not conduct the inclining experiment as there was inadequate space on the main decks for incline weights, and the deckhouse structures were not built to support incline weights. Find out how ABS and the shipyard devised an alternative solution to the inclining experiment by watching this Safety in Minutes video.

Vessel shall have the lashing plan displayed and the terminal shall perform lashing of the cargo as per this plan. Duty officer to inspect lashing due to When the ship sails out to sea, it encounters external forces which result in to six forms of motions acting on the ship. These motions are a threat especially for those ships which require cargo lashing and securing it on the open deck #lashing #vessel #logistic #maritime #marine

Innovation

Using a powerful slingshot to launch a line from a shipbuilding tanker is an innovative approach to maritime operations. This method allows for precise deployment of lines over considerable distances, enhancing efficiency in various tasks such as mooring and towing. #marine #maritime #ship #tanker #shipbuilding #ideas #operations #efficiency

Tugs, barges, and ships are exposed to unique risks while transiting inland waterways, and the proper management of inland waterway transportation is vital for cargo safety and risk mitigation. Claims resulting from delays, salvage equipment costs, tugs, underwater surveys, etc., can be substantial, and the preparedness of equipment and vigilance/preparedness of mariners are crucial to preventing losses and mitigating exposure if an incident occurs. The American P&I Club maintains an "Inland Waterways" webpage featuring best practices guidance documents that address ship anchoring and mooring considerations in U.S. rivers during high water conditions and barge fleeting area issues. The page also links to the Club’s “Man Overboard” webpage, which comprises a range of media applications, including posters for use both on board and ashore and video animations.

KEELS LAID FOR KOTUG CANADA’S FUTURE METHANOL-FUELLED TUGS Kotug Canada, a partnership between Netherlands-based towage company Kotug International and Canada’s Horizon Maritime, recently held a ceremony to mark the laying of the keel of two new escort tugs that will be powered by methanol propulsion systems. Designed by Canadian naval architecture firm Robert Allan Ltd (RAL), the tugs will service the Trans Mountain Expansion Project that will transport crude and refined products via pipeline from Alberta to British Columbia. Deliveries of the vessels are scheduled to commence by the middle of 2025. The 44-metre tugs will escort tankers from the harbour limits of the Port of Vancouver to the open Pacific Ocean through the commercial shipping lanes of the Salish Sea. To provide this service, Kotug Canada has partnered with the Sc’ianew First Nation from Beecher Bay, strategically located along the shipping route. The tugs will be named SD Aisemaht and SD Qwii-Aan’c Sarah in honour of two notable figures of the Sc’ianew First Nation. https://bit.ly/3yfGfOO #methanol #sustainable #marine #maritime #efuel #futurefuel #energytransition #renewable #alternativefuel
