Question 203: What are D1 and D2 standards in ballast
water convention?
Ballast water convention has been ratified by more than 35% of
world tonnage. It is therefore now an international regulation
and the convention comes into force in 2009. Vessels which
have ballast water capacity less than 1500 M3 are to comply by
their first intermediate or renewal survey in 2009.
D1 standard is already in force if deballasting in US, Brazilian
or Ukrainian waters, where
a. All vessels to have a ballast water management plan.
b. All vessels to record ballast water operations in Ballast
Water Record Book.
c. Ballast exchange to be carried out at least 200 NM from
land and at a depth not less than 200 m.
d. If the above cannot be complied with, then at least 50 NM
from land but at a minimum depth of 200 m.
D2 standard basically specifies that all ships should have a
Ballast Treatment Plant. By 2017 all vessels will have a Ballast
Water Treatment Plant.
Question 204: Define Dwt, Grt, and Net Tonnage?
Deadweight is the Load displacement at summer load line in
Salt Water minus the Light-Ship displacement.
Gross Tonnage is the measure of the overall size of a ship
determined in accordance with the provisions of the
International Convention on Tonnage Measurement 1969.
Net Tonnage is the measure of useful capacity of a ship
determined in accordance with the provisions of the
International Convention on Tonnage Measurement 1969. It is
mostly used for calculation of Ships taxes, toll and dues.

Question 205: Long Range Identification and Tracking
(LRIT) Regulation?
LRIT regulation applies to following ships engaged on
international voyages:
All passenger ships.
Cargo ships of 300 grt and above.
Mobile offshore drilling units.
o Ships operating in Sea Area A1 fitted with AIS are exempted.
o
LRIT is got to be fitted not later than the first radio survey after 31
December 2008.
Flag states will not be able to receive about a foreign ship located
within territorial sea of the flag state whose flag the ship is entitled to
fly for e.g. UK will be able to monitor an Indian ship in Dover but not
a French ship in Le Harve harbour.
7
o
SEC, SRT and other appropriate safety certificates will reflect the
details of the LRIT terminal.

As per the Convention 14 hours per day & 72 hours
per week.
As per STCW it is 70 hours per week but only for
watchkeepers and ratings assisting them.
Question 209: Master has used outside assistance to extinguish fire to save
the common maritime adventure. Can he claim General Average?
If actions taken by the Master to make prudent and deliberate sacrifice to save
the common adventure, are out of resources within the ship, such as flooding a
hold or to throw cargo overboard or to risk damage to his ship to save the
common Maritime Adventure, it is General Average.
But when the ship is in imminent danger through a marine peril and Master
Has to get outside help to save the entire Maritime Adventure, such as a tow to
make a safe port or to engage Salvage Tugs to extinguish fire which could not
be extinguished by use of ships own resources, it involves SALVAGE.
Remuneration is payable out of value of the property salved. Service need not
be totally successful.
10
For example, a ship aground, refloated and towed into port, may have suffered
so much damage that she is sold for scrap as CTL. But salvage is payable out
of her scrap value. Award must be less than that value, so that some part of the
fund is left for owners benefit. If it is more the owner can legally abandon the
property in the hands of Salver.
Danger to the property does not have to be absolute or imminent, but must
be of a kind that a prudent master would not hesitate to accept assistance.
For example, if a vessel losses her only propeller in mid ocean in fine
weather, she is not in immediate danger, but she cannot make port. Onset
of bad weather would leave her at the mercy of elements. And it is rare that
a salver would offer to tow her from mid-ocean to harbor on any other
terms but salvage.
In such a case, a prudent Master would be justified in accepting services of
salvers on LOF basis. He should not delay in obtaining help under LOF
and No cure No pay from an available salver.
Question 213: Can ships crew or a passenger claim the salvage award?
A Salver must be stranger to the maritime adventure, and not under a duty
to render assistance.
Crews have a duty to their vessel without expecting extra reward. A
salvage award is for services rendered voluntarily.
Only in extraordinary circumstances when a person is engaged as a crew
may be entitled to a salvage award. That also, if the terms of his original
engagement have been lawfully terminated. For example, if Master gives
an order to abandon ship with the intention of not returning and few

members return and render successful salvage service, they will be
considered to have returned as strangers and may claim salvage reward.
A passenger who could have escaped from a vessel in danger, but stayed
voluntarily to assist with salvage work will rank as salver.
12
Question 216: If an assisting vessel declines LOF and offers other terms
of contract, what would you do?
If the master feels that the terms offered are unreasonable or extortionate, he
should register a protest immediately or, if he thinks that this may delay the
assistance, on completion of service.
It is emphasized that where life, the ship, its cargo or the marine environment is in
peril, such negotiations should not in any way delay the engagement of salvers.
The engagement of one salver under LOF does not preclude the master from
engaging other salvers.
If more than one salver is involved, every effort should be made to obtain the
agreement of salvers to co-operate with each other and to appoint leading salver.
13
The governments of a country whose interests are threatened have a right to take
action within its territorial waters in respect of a ship that has suffered a maritime
casualty.
The master should comply with the instructions given by the government or the
authority and a full report should be made to the owner or operator.
If any such instructions are, in professional judgment of the master, inadvisable or
dangerous, he should question them, and if appropriate, register a protest to the
government or authority.
Safety management objectives of the Company should, inter alia (among other things):
.1 provide for safe practices in ship operation and a safe working environment;
.2 establish safeguards against all identified risks; and
14
.3 continuously improve safety management skills of personnel ashore and aboard
ships,
including preparing for emergencies related both to safety and environmental
protection.
A stranded ship is one, which has run aground and is likely to stay
aground to actually affect and interrupt the voyage in which she was
engaged.
15
A grounded ship is one, which touches bottom for some time but does not
affect the voyage permanently or semi-permanently and commercially. For
example if a ship grounds in a tidal area and is refloated by use of tugs, she
is grounded and not stranded.
Thus, stranding includes grounding but the grounding need not include
stranding.
A Wreck is a vessel, which is permanently grounded and completely
abandoned by owners and master.
A derelict is a vessel, which is permanently damaged and completely
abandoned but is afloat.
Question 224: When do the goods shall contribute with the carrier in
General Average?
An oil tanker of 150 grt and above and carrying out STS operations are to
have onboard an STS Operations Plan approved by the Flag State
Administration.
It details how safely to conduct STS Operations.
It is required to be on board not later than the date of the first annual,
intermediate or renewal survey carried out on or after 1 January 2011.
It takes into account the guidelines identified by IMOs Manual on Oil
Pollution Prevention, Ship-to-Ship Transfer guide by ICS and OCIMF.
For details, refer to a new chapter 8 to MARPOL Annex I.
Question 226:
16
A question for self-assessment.
1. How frequently is performance monitor test required to be
performed for radar equipment.
2. is there any stipulated guideline or regulation regarding this.
17
The first step would be to increase the look out on bridge to all times ,
both day and night .
2. Instruct duty officers to take compass bearings of all targets and
monitor them closely by tabulating and regular brgs thereafter to determine
if risk of collision exists.
Also can use VHF to contact other vessels and ask range and can plot???
3. Use all other available equipments like AIS to determine target CPA and
use GPS / Visual brgs / Loran (if available) for Posn determination.
4. Ensure to brief the whole bridge team on daily passage and expected
traffic and visual aids to navigation available if any (while approaching).
5. Inform company and ask them to ask manufacturers giving full details of
the problems faced if any one of the radar can be made operational.
6. Inform the arrival port authorities if radars not functional even till
arrival and correspond to have service tech available on arrival.
7. Inform VTS and all other traffic regulatory services of own vessels
defect and ask to promulgate information if required to other vessels.
8. Prior approaching or entering known traffic density area ensure vessel on
maneuvering speed and ensure max clearances from all targets.
9. Safely reach outer anchorage and drop anchor and await service prior
entry into port.
10. After all this in all probabilities you will have the USCG also boarding
on arrival.. Hence prepare for them also.
Question 219: What are Manila amendments to the STCW regarding
New Sleep and Alcohol consumption rules, their recording and monitoring.
18
The regulations are part of the Manila amendments to the Standards of Training,
Certification & Watchkeeping.
Mariners on duty would need to keep a blood-alcohol level of no more than
0.05%, or 0.25mg/litre of alcohol in the breath though individual flag states
may choose to apply stricter limits, which emphasised: It is particularly
important that companies comply with the new IMO rest hour requirements and
record and monitor seafarers rest periods. Seafarers must also confirm that their
hours are accurately recorded.
Question 220:
Shiv's post prompted me to take a closer look at what the words 'Competence' and
'Fatigue' mean in the context of seafarers / seafaring.
The STCW defines 'Standards of Competence'.
QUOTE
======
It means the level of proficiency to be achieved for the proper performance of
functions on board ship in accordance with the internationally agreed criteria set forth
herein and incorporating prescribed standards or levels of knowledge, understanding
and demonstrated skill.
UNQUOTE
========
As per MSC/circ.1014 - Guidelines on Fatigue Mitigation amd Management,
QUOTE
======
'Fatigue' can be defined in many ways. However, it is generally described as a state of
feeling tired, weary or sleepy that results from prolonged mental ot physical work,
extended periods of anxiety, exposure to harsh environments, or loss of sleep. The
results of fatigue is impaired performance and diminished alertness
19
UNQUOTE
=========
I may also add that Fatigue factors are classed into four main groups:
a) Management ashore and aboard ship, and responsibilities of Administrations
b) Ship-specific factors
c) Crew - specific factors
d) External environmental factors
'Crew competence and quality' is only one among the 4 Crew-specific factors
