Pilot ladder failure

SAFETY MOMENT OF THE MONTH

A vessel had been discharged and was ready to depart. A pilot arrived via a small boat, boarding the vessel from the sea side. Suddenly, one of the side ropes broke when the pilot stepped from the last rung of the pilot ladder onto the deck. Fortunately, the pilot did not fall as he had his weight and leg on the main deck.

Lessons learned• Pilot ladder defects are, unfortunately, a

fairly common problem. Ladders should be scrupulously inspected at regular intervals and any hint of defect corrected or the ladder taken out of service.

• Pilot ladder should be certified by the manufacturer as complying with SOLAS regulation 23 or with an acceptable international standard. Certificate should be available on board with Master.

• All pilot ladders shall be clearly identified with tags or other permanent marking so as to enable identification of each appliance for the purposes of survey, inspection and record keeping. A record shall be kept on the ship as to the date the identified ladder is placed into service and any repairs effected.

Letter from ESMThough far from out of the woods in our struggle to live with COVID, we have achieved a good enough normalcy, as the report on the growing number of crew changes indicates. However, keeping in mind the warning bell on the emergence of the third variants, we would be better off with extreme caution on keeping ourselves safe from this deadly virus. Many countries are bracing up and implemented stricter measures on crew movements from considered high-risk countries like India into their countries. That will invariably impact our regular crew changes, but thanks to close monitoring and planning, we hope the concerned shore team is well poised to manoeuvre the challenges well. However, they could far from wielding a magic wand under the circumstances!

That SIMS is not just a training institute, but a research and development centre per excellence is amply proven by our front-page news of the patent awarded to SIMS on an in–house developed pump performance analyser. Hearty congratulations to the team behind the development and successfully pursued the arduous road to registering the patent for almost a decade now! Indeed proof of the innovative thinking of a group and a team coming from various sister companies, including ESM, behind the success of SIMS as a training and research institute. As time grows, we see more synergies and collaborative efforts among the group companies to complement each other’s road to excellence!

This issue of the month newsletter also brings out the report on the emergence of social media as a usual matter of fact tool for our sailing and the shore staff to communicate with each other and as a group. The OnExecutive has been adopted as a forum to spread the messages and connect our community ideas, aspirations and play a productive role in the society we all belong to. The recent webinars for COVID support one such example we are mighty proud of and confident this is the way to build a positive and supportive community at this hour of need. Thanks to hundreds of participants who made the efforts meaningful and ensured the organisation steps out of its comfort zone to reach the community.

Capt. Vinod of Adhart- the commercial arm of the group has already established his rapport with the readers with his generous sharing of knowledge to educate our sailing (even shore staff) on the commercial aspects of the shipping business, i.e. the purpose of a merchant navy ship that most onboard did not have a clue. Meant not only for the navigation officers but also from Cadet or Crew to a Chief Engineer or Master, his writing style makes the topics understandable and meaningful. Don’t miss out!

Before I sign off, here’s wishing Eid Mubarak to all our readers on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, the festival to honour the willingness for the supreme sacrifice of Ibrahim.

Till our next issue, be safe, be strong and happy wherever you are,

cables and breaker. Loose connections will result in arching, sparking & overheating. If overheating/ discolouration/ arcing/ sparking occurs, the connections should be removed, and the connecting surfaces be cleaned of carbon deposits.3) Insulating parts, which include bushings, should be wiped down and cleaned. Regular physical inspection of covering/ insulation of bus bars and cables and accordingly carry out repairs. 4) Inspection of alignment conditions and stationary contacts.5) Evaluate, Clean, Service and Test. Damaged parts found not functioning during testing must be renewed.6) During cold outages, use the push-to-trip button. Trip and reset breaker operating mechanism as per manufacturer’s recommended settings to verify proper operation.7) Primary and Secondary Testing.8) On-Site Evaluation of breakers, bus ducts, and fuses.9) Visual inspection: If external damage / cracked case/ burn marks/ discolouration is seen, the breaker must be taken out of service & renewed at soonest.10) If possible, operate the breaker under load to clear contact debris/ oxidation.11) Regular Thermal imaging / Infra-Red scans must be conducted while the breaker is energized/ closed to pre-determine abnormalities like overheating/ sparking/ short circuit/ discolouration due to loose connections. Many high-temperature conditions are traceable back to terminal connection issues like loose nuts/ bolt, less contact surface, etc.

12) MCCB to be dismantled for internal inspection of its components. 13) Proper inspection of the MCCB terminal for oxidation/ corrosion is required as tightening an MCCB terminal that is corroded/ oxidized will

Failure of MCCB may not sound severe however, failure at a critical juncture has the potential to make the entire vessel stranded. It may also result in more serious incidents/ accidents like fire, collision, grounding, structural failure, etc. Routine inspection, checks, test and maintenance on MCCBs, can provide pre-indication of failure of MCCB & timely renewal could avoid an incident of premature failure.

In this article, we will review the following: A) The primary purpose/ function of MCCBs.B) Regular routine on MCCBs: test,

inspection/ checks & maintenance.C) Consequences of sudden failure of MCCB D) Benefits of regular Breaker Maintenance

A) The primary function of MCCBs is as mentioned below:1. To allow the flow/ supply of current (to a

particular Equipment/ Machinery) once the breaker is switched ON.

2. To trip the MCCB in the event of faulty/ abnormal/ overload condition, to protect an Equipment/ Machinery & MCCB itself from getting damaged.

MCCB damage/ concerned machinery damage/ Fire/ Arc flash hazard to the operator may happen if MCCB fails to trip/operate due to lack of preventive maintenance.

B) Regular routine on MCCBs: test, inspection/ checks/ maintenance:Below mentioned tests must be conducted on de-energized breakers and equipment:

1. Insulation Resistance Test: A Megohmmeter should be used to measure resistance between load terminals, supply terminals and between phases. If the

Regular Maintenance on Moulded Case Circuit Breakers prevents failures

TECHNICAL NEWS

insulation resistance is found less than the manufacturer’s recommended value, then the protection is inadequate and needs renewal.

2. Millivolt Drop Test: A millivolt drop test can disclose several abnormal conditions inside a breaker, such as eroded contacts, contaminated contacts, or loose internal connections. The millivolt drop test should be made at a nominal direct-current voltage at 50 amperes or 100 amperes for large breakers, and at or lower rating for smaller breakers. The millivolt drop is compared against the manufacturer’s data for the breaker being tested.

3. Overload tripping test (OTT): The essential function of MCCB is to trip open the breaker in the event of fault/ overload/ overcurrent condition, to protect & safeguard that Equipment/ Machinery & MCCB from getting damaged. The performance of MCCB under overload test is based on below two parameters that are greatly influenced by ambient conditions and test conditions: a) Automatic opening of the circuit breaker and, b) Not tripping Time (in seconds) or Time (in seconds) taken by MCCB from overload current application to its trip activation. Observed Time to be compared with manufacturer’s data for the breaker under test.

OTT is done by supplying 300 per cent of the breaker rated continuous current to each pole. This test will also verify the functioning of overload tripping components of the breaker under test.

Below mentioned Inspection/ checks/ maintenance must be conducted on de-energized breakers and equipment:

1) Mechanical operation: The mechanical operation of the breaker (unused/ idle for six months or more) should be checked (while de-energized) by turning the breaker on and off several times to ensure proper operation, tripping function and remove any accumulation of dust, dirt, soot, grease, moisture foreign material on moving parts and contacts using clean, dry cloth.2) Connections Test: The connections (bolts, nuts, screws, etc.) to the circuit breaker should be checked/ inspected to determine that a proper/ good contact is present between the

Shipbuilding Status: An indicator of supply in maritime trade

The supply and demand equation maintains an important relationship in the maritime industry. The supply, i.e., the available tonnage of the merchant fleet, always tries to catch up with the demand, i.e., available cargo tonnage for sea trade. Interestingly, the demand that depends on various macro-environmental factors such as the world economy, geo-political issues, oil prices, etc., is highly volatile.

For vessels to earn better freight, it is ideal to have the supply less than demand. However, the supply change is not as flexible as demand volatility. Hence, a perfect balance in supply and demand is mostly a mirage.

The key activities impacting the availability of tonnage are Shipbuilding, Scrapping, Conversion, etc. This article lets us understand the current supply status through one of its main indicators, i.e., Shipbuilding activities.

In the last six months (from October 2020 to April 2021), shipbuilding contracts have increased significantly, but the total number for the past 12 months has remained low, and many yards are quickly running out of orders. Due

to the intensifying decarbonisation drive, the uncertainty of the shipping industry is holding Owners back from taking a financial risk.

One of the highlights of the current status is depleting order books and idle yard capacity.The first-tier yards, which have half the global shipbuilding capacity, are still performing well, capturing 80% of the order book, while many of the 2nd tier yards are scheduled to deliver their last orders during 2021. With no new orders, 2022 will be more difficult for them.

The increased contracting activity in the last six months did allow new building prices to rise by 6%. However, it’s only concentrated on first-tier yards. Half of the contracted capacity is of the Container vessels. The activities are evenly distributed between Chinese and South Korean yards, and they have gained their market shares at the expense of Japanese yards. Two-thirds of the order book is scheduled to be delivered before the year-end of 2022, which indicates the front-loaded nature of delivery.

Yard utilisation measured by “Compensated Gross Tonnage (CGT), is also in a poor state. The average yard utilisation in 2020 was about 50%, which is expected to increase to 60% in 2021.

COVID-19 impacted the scheduled deliveries, and Yards could deliver about 28 million CGT in 2020 (Amounting to 80% of the scheduled orders). The orderbook saw an increase of 5% in the last six months, amounting to 70 million CGT.

However, this increase is not adequate for providing adequate work to all yards for the long term. The global yard capacity is 57 million CGT. If orders were placed equitably to all yards to utilise the world’s yard capacity fully, yards could deliver the order book in 16 months, and there is no more job after that.

Many yards are running out of orders & 2022 is expected to be more difficult for them to recapitulate. First-tier yards will be better utilised than 2nd tier yards. South Korean & Chinese yards will be gaining an increased market share at the expense of Japanese yards. Category of Container vessels will be leading in newbuilding contracts. The supply growth will see a diminishing trend, which will increase the freight rate as long as demand does not dip down.

have little effect in reducing elevated surface temperature readings detected in an Infra-Red scan.

C) Consequences of sudden failure of MCCB:1. Short circuit/ burning of defective MCCBs,

thereby resulting in the concerned machinery becoming non-operational. Depending on the situation, this may lead to Fire/ explosion, Serious injury/ Loss of Life, Loss of Steering/ Electrical power/ Main Engine, Collision, Grounding, Structural failure, etc.

2. Sparking & fire can result from loosened bolts of the Bus bar, primary/ secondary side of MCCBs, local starter panel, and Terminal box.

3. Damaged covering/ insulation of Bus bars & cables will lead to low insulation & subsequent burning of that Motor, rendering that concerned pump non-operational.

4. Alarms & Safety trips are provided to

safeguard the machinery & ACBs. If not tried out regularly, machinery & ACBs will not trip during actual deviation of parameters, thereby leading to complete failure/ burning of that machinery/ ACBs, becoming non-operational & result in loss of power.

5. Lack of Megger testing of Electrical Motors will lead to Motor burning, thereby rendering concerned pump being driven by the Motor non-operational.

6. Non-operational fans (of panel, BCC, ECC, CCR control console) will lead to overheating electrical components like PCB, PSU, etc & ultimately becoming defective, resulting in non-operational concerning machinery.

D) Benefits of regular Breaker Maintenance:1. Extended equipment’s life by following

stringent maintenance guidelines. 2. Reduce the cost of repair by taking

preventative maintenance measures.3. Prevents failure of SF6 and Oil Circuit Breakers

that will result in plant shutdowns. 4. Helps in preventing any damage to Equipment

/ Machinery & MCCB itself.5. It will help in preventing incidents/ accidents

& hence enhances the safety barrier for the vessel’s staff.

6. Prevents total blackout or preferential trip resulting by malfunctioning MCCB with high short circuit current created due to Internal failure of MCCB.

From the above descriptions, we learn that regular maintenance of Electrical components is crucial for keeping all the Machineries & Equipment fully operational to achieve Safe Navigation, Cargo Operation, Manoeuvring, Berthing/ Unberthing & Sailing.

New research estimates human lifetime exposure to microplastics Researchers from the ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology in United States of America have developed a lifetime microplastic exposure model that accounts for variable levels of microplastic accumulated from different sources and in other populations.

Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic ranging in size from 1 µm to 5 mm. In today’s world, people are easily exposed to microplastics from food, water, beverages and even air. Humans quickly ingest them from a variety of sources, such as bottled water, salt and seafood. Their fate and transport in the human body are largely unknown, although particles have been detected in human stool. Furthermore, it is also unclear how many such particles will accumulate in the human body and the health risks they may post over time.

In addition to possibly causing tissue damage and inflammation, microplastics could be a source of carcinogens and other harmful compounds

that leach from the plastic into the body. The researchers noted previous studies have attempted to estimate human exposure to the particles and their leached chemicals. However, there are limitations, including discrepancies in the databases used. These limitations include a failure to consider the entire microplastic size range and the use of average exposure rates that do not reflect global intakes etc.

The team identified 134 studies that reported microplastic concentrations in fish, molluscs, crustaceans, tap and bottled water, milk, beer, salt, and air to develop the model. Corrections were performed to the data to ensure accurate comparison among the different studies. Data on food consumption of various age groups in many countries was utilised to estimate ranges of microplastic ingestion. This information, combined with rates of microplastic absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and excretion by the liver, was used to estimate microplastic distribution in the gut and tissues.

Thus, the model predicted that by the age of 18, children could accumulate an average of 8,300 particles (6.4 ng) of microplastics in their tissues. In contrast, by the age of 70, adults could accrue an average of 50,100 microplastic particles (40.7 ng). Additionally, the estimated amounts of chemicals leaching from the plastics were small compared with a person’s total intake of these compounds.

Researchers found that the data suggests that prior studies might have overestimated microplastic exposure and possible health risks. As it is evident that humankind will inevitably consume a certain amount of microplastics within a lifetime, it is essential to have estimates to understand and negate any potential health risks.

Understanding microplastics is a relatively new field in climate change study, while long-term effects on the human body are presently unknown, it is always better to reduce opportunities for ingestion wherever possible.

Researchers from McMaster University, United States of America have found that eating oily fish regularly can help prevent cardiovascular disease in high-risk individuals such as those with heart disease or stroke. This is in line with the American Heart Association recommendation of eating two servings of fish per week as a part of a healthy diet.

The study examined the data of 192,000 people, including 52,000 people with cardiovascular disease from high, middle and low-income countries from all five continents over a span of 25 years. It affirmed not only did eating two servings of oily fish prevent cardiovascular disease in high-risk individuals, but the key was also in the critical nutrient, Omega-3 fatty acids. Fish are low-fat, high quality proteins filled with Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins and nutrients such as Vitamin D, B2, calcium, phosphorus, iron,

Two servings of fish per week may prevent chronic heart disease

zinc, iodine, magnesium and potassium. Omega- 3 fatty acid is commonly associated with a lower risk of major cardiovascular disease events such as heart attacks, strokes, congestive heart failure, sudden deaths by about a sixth in high-risk people who ate two servings of fish rich in omega-3 each week. Our bodies do not produce Omega-3 fatty acids hence we need to get them through the food we eat.

While it can be found in all kinds of fish, it is especially high in oily fish. In addition, oily fish such as trout, salmon, sardines, pilchards, kippers, eels, whitebait, mackerel, herring and tuna have numerous health benefits that include improved mental ability, protection from cancer, asthma and lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

The researchers also recommended people at low risk for cardiovascular disease can enjoy modest

protection by eating oily fish however health benefits were less pronounced than those in high-risk individuals.

Heart disease or cardiovascular (CVDS) refers to several coronary conditions including a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels as well as coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease and other conditions. According to the World Health Organization, this disease is the number one cause of death globally.

As the study indicates, increasing fish consumption especially oily fish in heart patients may produce a modest cardiovascular benefit. Those who do not consume fish may consider a plant-based source of Omega-3 fatty acids such as walnuts, flax seeds, chia seeds, brussel sprouts and more. Heart health can further benefit from incorporating other aspects of a healthy lifestyle.

“Safety and Mentoring” campaign highlights mentorship role The onboard “Safety and Mentoring” campaign has successfully concluded. Launched from February – June 2021 by the HSEQA department, the campaign aimed at enhancing crew familiarity in shipboard operations, accident prevention and more. The element of mentorship further encouraged learning from each other’s sailing experiences.

The HSEQA campaign which incorporated a combination of internal findings and case studies of real-life incidences from the maritime industry focused on key topics such as lifeboat and rescue findings, defense navigation and technical breakdowns, containment and avoiding oil spills, cargo - related machinery, enhanced environmental compliance, security especially in the Gulf of Guinea region, cybersecurity etc.

It also provided crew with the best tips and practices to avoid failures in aspects such as machinery and more. Topics were also tailored to meet the needs of the current global situation such as the COVID-19 pandemic, hygiene and personal well-being.

Participating Masters and Chief Engineers held weekly mentoring sessions onboard where case studies were presented, spurring discussions between all ship personnel. Crew were encouraged to share their experiences and learning lessons on the subject matter. Upon the completion of the campaign topic at the end of each month, a feedback form detailing the mentoring session conducted was sent back to the superintendents for review and evaluations.

Masters also wrote in their feedback about the campaign while sharing several incidences observed by crew at various instances of their sailing careers. Learning lessons were highlighted and shared onboard.

During a session onboard UACC Shams, a Third Officer shared an incident where the lifeboat was being lowered. After embarkation, the door was not closed and as it was being lowered, the lifeboat jerked, injuring the fingers of a crew member who was holding the door opening for support. The crew onboard Roberto discussed the importance of overcoming hazardous thoughts, emphasizing that crew members should never

hesitate to clarify doubts.

In discussing piracy, a Chief Officer shared his experience regarding a piracy attack while transiting Gulf of Aden. Crew members sighted three high speed skiffs approaching vessel from stern. Armed guards fired ammos near the skiffs to restrict their approach. Fortunately, the skiffs aborted the movement and returned to the vessel. Ship staff onboard panicked and lost their sense of situational awareness after the incident.

At Executive, ensuring the safety of our crew, vessel and the environment is of utmost priority. As such, we are constantly striving to educate and empower our seafarers, regardless of their ranks, to inculcate excellent standards of safety while sailing. Full results of the campaign will be released by the HSEQA department to all vessels via the Internal Circular.

Our heartiest congratulations to the HSEQA department for yet another successful campaign run. Additionally, we would like to thank the Masters and Chief Engineers for expressly encouraging crew participation and for their feedback.

Over 2000 seafarers, both onboard and on-leave, as well as nearly 600 shore employees across ESM India offices have been successfully vaccinated under this initiative.

Crew change update The Maritime Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) announced on 16 June 2021 that vessels arriving in Singapore within 21 days from countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka that require shore-based personnel must declare the following: Crew members, including Master did not have shore leave and physical interaction with any individual other than their own crew when calling any of the abovementioned ports. Secondly, it must be declared that the vessel did not sign on any new crew in the last 21 days.

The challenge in conducting crew change remains in meeting the different requirements implemented by various authorities. For instance,

in China, requirements for crew changes are varying in places such as Shang Hai, Ningbo, Xiamen and Qingdao. All crew members will be subjected to a PCR test. Crew changes before 28-day or 35-day arrivals are subject to terminal decisions in Ningbo and Xiamen.
