A Great Fall and Iʼm Grateful

I am always grateful for the opportunity to meet with suc-cessful shipping professionals, and I’m curious to learn oftheir interests and accomplishments outside of their ship-ping careers. A few weeks ago in New York, I met RichardSadler, Chief Executive Officer of Lloyd’s Register. Lloyd’sis celebrating 250 years of service to the shipping industry.During our conversation, I learned that Richard was train-ing for a marathon, not his first but his fourth, not thefamous New York City Marathon, or the oldest running,Boston Marathon but the original course from Marathon toAthens Greece.

Back in March 2010, Richard launched a competition forLloyd’s Register employees to join him for the running ofthe Athens Classic Marathon celebrating the 2500th

anniversary of the Battle of Marathon and the world’s mosthistoric marathon. Legend has it that the GreekPheidippides ran from the battlefield of Marathon to thecapital of Athens, a distance of 26.2 miles (42 km), toannounce the Greeks victory over the Persians. OnOctober 31, 2010 the Lloyd’s Register team ran alongside13,000 athletes. Richard said, “The pleasure of startingnext to the Olympic flame in Marathon and running into theAthens stadium after 26.2 miles was worth every mile oftraining.” Successfully completing the race with Richardwas: Lieven Vriens (Antwerp), Sian Stephens (Liverpool),Joe Elliott (London) and Kevin Tsang (Calgary). TheLloyd’s Register marathon initiative not only celebrated the250th and 2500th anniversaries for Lloyd’s and Marathonrespectively but was designed to raise funds, in collabora-tion with the Union of Greek shipping companies in supportof the Hellenic merchant marine academies. Greek ship-ping companies responded generously to Lloyd’s cam-paign and together the total so far has exceeded 30,000Euros. It was truly a winning combination – fitness, corpo-rate team building, celebrations and fundraising for a mar-itime cause. Congratulations to Richard Sadler and histeam at Lloyd’s Register.

This past month I was very grateful for the opportunity tomeet CMA members in Houston. I want to welcome all thenew Houston members who joined CMA and give mythanks to all those who came to one or both of the events.I want to share what I heard: 1) Conduct a one day semi-nar on tankers (LNG, petrochemicals, products); 2) AddLNG Shipping as a topic on the Shipping 2011 program; 3)Host a CMA cocktail party around Houston’s Break Bulk

Conference; 4) Start a Houston Chapter of CMA; 5) Do alive internet feed of our luncheon speakers, especially Mr.George Economou. Houston, stay tuned and keep thefeedback coming. My thanks to Lorraine Parsons, DonFrost and Ian Workman for their efforts in making ourHouston trip a success.

I am grateful to George Economou for sharing his thoughtswith us at our October luncheon. Enormously successful,George holds several shipping records and firsts and nowhe can now add record attendance at a CMA luncheon tohis list. The energy in the room was fantastic, and I wasthrilled to have 240 shipping and industry professionals inattendance. A copy of his presentation can be found on ourwebsite. As I mentioned at the luncheon, CMA meets everymonth so plan on coming back.

So how does CMA follow up a luncheon with GeorgeEconomou well with a Nobel Peace PrizeWinner of course!Join us on November 18 for Dr. Mark Trexler’s, presentation

on Climate Change and Sustainability in the ShippingIndustry. We are aware of the evolving trends: greenhousegas emissions limits, trading systems, carbon taxes, effi-ciency standards, ECA’S, slow steaming, ballast waterconvention and sustainability ratings but how fast will theyevolve and to what extent will they be top-down govern-ment policy or bottom up market driven? How will the mar-itime sector adapt to the new rules of the game? Join thediscussion on November 18.

Our CMA holiday party is December 7 at the Royal Greenand following CMA tradition; it is free to all members ingood standing who come bearing a gift for the MarineCorps’ Toys for Tots program. I look forward to seeingeveryone there.

It’s been a great fall at CMA and I’m grateful to all.

Best regards,Beth Wilson-Jordan

FROM THE EDITOR

As this election season passes I’d like to share a quotefrom historian Thomas Munford’s book “The Condition ofMan” about the development of civilization. This comesfrom a Thomas Friedman column (NY Times October 3,2010) he titled “Third Party Rising”.

Mumford, describing the decline of the Roman Empire,wrote: “Everyone aimed at security: no one acceptedresponsibility. What was plainly lacking, long before thebarbarian invasions had done their work, long before eco-nomic dislocations became serious, was an inner go.Rome’s life was now an imitation of life: a mere holding on.Security was the watch word – as if life knew any other sta-bility than through constant change, or any form of securi-ty except through a constant willingness to take risks.”

I bring this to your attention because essentially the sameidea came from the mouth of a very experienced andknowledgeable Congressional staffer just a few weeks ago.The staffer’s uncharacteristically unguarded comment wasthat there is absolutely no leadership in Congress to takeon any issue, other than security (i.e.- terrorism), thatwould benefit the entire country. How sad for all of us!

Whatever became of “Ask not what your country can do foryou, but what you can do for your country.”?

And based on my CMA experience, it is amazing howmuch can be accomplished when there is no thought as towho gets the credit.

CMA’s Road Show to Houston Oct 20-21 – The trip wasamazingly free of delays, the venues were perfect for ourpurposes and our guests were enthusiastic. Now that wehave done a trip to Washington and Houston, where elsecan we exchange information among our professional sub-communities that will hopefully allow all of us to bettercommunicate a larger picture of our industry to others?Southern California?

By the way, congratulations to Jack Noonan, President ofChembulk Tankers of Southport, who has been appointedto head the new BLT Chembulk Group. He will report to theGroup of Directors at the parent company in Jakarta, PTBerlian Laju Tanker Tbk.

By Chris TowneThe Commish

We have now concluded our 25th season of CMA softball.The 10 teams that participated represent all aspects ofshipping from charterers to owners and brokers to spareparts suppliers and the towing sector. We started our sea-son on May 17th and concluded with the tournamentChampionship game on September 8th. Two of our teamsfrom last year were having some difficulty filling their ros-ters and decided to form a joint team with another compa-ny. With a joint venture (hybrid) team it allows companiesthat might want to play but don’t have enough people tobecome a part of the action. As a result we welcomed backHeidmar and were pleased to include TradeWinds thisyear.

The season was wrapped up last month at the leagueawards dinner at The Players Club in Stamford. The first

CMA SOFTBALL 2010place trophy was awarded to All Marine Spares-TradeWinds finishing with a 7-2 regular season record.Glencore received the tournament second place trophyand Charles R.Weber-Heidmar capped off a terrific seasonas Tournament Champions.

As it has always been, the intent of the league is to give achance for those in our industry to get out and see eachother in friendly social but still somewhat competitive envi-ronment. The feedback I have gotten back from players andcoaches we have managed to keep that ideal. The com-ments are generally positive and I have received very fewcomplaints. I would like to thank Len Faucher and DennisConetta for performing umpiring duties during the CMAtournament. Also a great thanks to BethWilson-Jordan andLorraine Parsons for their continued support and assis-tance. Most of all, what has really kept this going as well asit has, is the players and coaches that come to the field withthe right attitude and doing their best to keep the competi-tive juices in check.

Thanks to all and I look forward to next season.

By Don Frost – Some bits and piece that may have missed.

Operating costs- Consultants Drewry’s latest survey onoperating costs warns that they’re on the rise again, withheadline operating costs set to rise 1.7-2% this year afterfalling back 1.5% in 2009. According to Drewry, “Last yearsaw a retrenchment in the costs of running fleets.The signsare pointing to an upsurge in 2010/11. The key messagebeing that if owners and managers do not have contracts,particularly for items such fuel and lubes and repairs andmaintenance, they could find their budgets blown to thefour winds.” The report focuses on the main cost heads –manning, insurance, stores and supplies, repairs and main-tenance and management and administration with projec-tions for how these areas will perform up to 2014. As far asmanning is concerned the report suggests that “Late 2008and 2009 did see soaring wage levels flatten off as globaleconomic growth stalled. However, as there is a return togrowth, and an expanded global fleet, this will create amanning supply/demand imbalance that will drive wages

FACTOIDS & STUFFupwards.” Management and administration costs are alsolikely to rise.

Earlier this month the Federal Maritime Commission issueda Notice of Inquiry regarding the effects on liner shipping(container biz) of the repeal by the European Union of theblock exemption from competition laws that took effectOctober 18, 2008. Judging from Jim Oberstar’s recentlyproposed Bill, he thinks the US should adopt Europe’sapproach.

The US is to tighten the definition of “incidental discharge”streams including gray water, ballast water and deck runoffas described in the Vessel General Permit rules while manyquestion whether the EPA can effectively monitor dis-charges for the 50,000 plus vessels each year that arerequired to comply.

Under the caption “Isn’t that nice” I found a statistic inFairplay’s October 28, 2010 issue (last page) which statesthat China can handle 60% of the annual global scrappingdemand. Another that grabbed my attention was that itwould cost 50,000 Euros ($71,000) to upgrade a ship’sengine to meet NOx limits.

TANKER PUMPING CLAUSES

By Don DykstraBackhaul Shipping Inc., Houston

Pumping clauses in various charter parties appear to befairly straightforward. However, the devil is often in thedetails. Below are various clauses that were drafted prima-rily for the benefit of tanker Owners, but Charterers mayfind some value in them as well.

1. Owner warrants that the vessel will discharge the bulkof the cargo in maximum 24 hours (pro-rata for partcargoes), or alternatively maintain a minimum pressureat the ship’s manifold of 100 psi, provided the receivingfacility can accept at that rate. Excluded from this max.24-hour requirement is the time to complete shorelinedisplacement(s), slow pumping to raise the roof of afloating storage tank, time to switch grades (if applica-ble) and time for stripping (maximum .5 hour per ship’scargo tank). Also excluded is stopping time (requestedby either ship or by receiving terminal) due to highwinds, lightning in the area, or other weather or seaconditions that may lead to unsafe operations.

Almost all crude oil, product or chemical tankers are able topump off a full cargo within 24 hours at normal back pres-sure. However, many terminals build their storage tanks atelevated levels. When the cargo is needed, they just usegravity -at no extra pumping cost- to feed their units. Whenthe ship has to pump uphill, or over a long distance, therewill be considerable back pressure. In that case the 100 psicomes into play.

When ship’s pumps are not operating to full capacity, andthere are no other limiting circumstances, sometimes thefollowing formula is used to arrive at an acceptable pump-ing rate:

Q2 = Q1 x

H1 = Av. pressure during dischargeH2 = Warranted pressure in c/pQ1 = Av. actual discharge rateQ2 = Discharge rate if pressure was H2

Let’s say H1 = 80 psiH2 = 100 psiQ1 = 25,000 bbl/hrUsing above formula, Q2 will be: 27,950 bbl/hrThis formula is only accurate if the flow rate is fairly steady.

Heidenreich Innovation’s website http://www.q88.com hasa calculator under “Conversions”Maximum vessel’s receiv-ing/pumping rates never to exceed limitations as per latestedition of ISGOTT.

ISGOTT is the International Safety Guide for Oil Tankersand Terminals. It specifies a maximum throughput rate fora specific hose diameter to prevent static electricitybuildup.The guidelines apply primarily to light oils, becausecrude oil and residual fuel oils have sufficient conductivityto prevent accumulation of static electricity.

2. The vessel will keep a pumping log, which requires asignature or stamp for receipt from the Terminal orCharterer’s Representative. If such a signature orstamp is not readily obtainable, claims by Charterer forslow pumping will be void.

Many charter parties stipulate that the vessel is to providethe Charterer with an hourly pumping log and that it mustbe signed by both vessel and terminal representatives, oth-erwise a claim for demurrage will not be accepted. Thereality is that terminal personnel are often at a great dis-tance from the ship. After discharge a hose disconnectgang may come on board, but they are often not authorizedto sign anything. It is therefore important to insert the words... “readily obtainable”. In many instances the cargo inspec-tor or the agent offers to sign the pumping or Crude OilWashing (COW) logs, but this should be discouraged,because they do not represent the terminal directly.

3. Due to extreme pollution risk, the vessel will not pumpwater to displace shore or undersea lines.

This speaks for itself, but it is still a requirement inASBATANKVOY clause 10. The same clause also containsthe stipulation that if the vessel loads from lighters, sheshall provide steam to them to drive the pumps. This provi-sion should be deleted and Owners should insist thatlighters need to have their own source of power for thepumps.

4. The Charterer may instruct the Master to carry outCOW of some or all of the tanks used for cargo. In anyevent, the Master shall be allowed to COW the mini-mum number of tanks as required under current MAR-POL Regulations.

According to MARPOL regulations approx. _ of the cargotanks shall be crude-oil-washed, but no tanks need to beCOW-ed more than once every 4 months. Most terminalsallow 25% of the cargo tanks to be washed, but some don’tallow COW-ing at all. This is because many crude oils con-

9

http://www.q88.com

tain sludge, which will be transferred during COW opera-tions from the vessel tanks to the shore tanks. This sludgecan build up to several yards high in the shore tank andcleaning plus proper sludge disposal is very expensive.Generally speaking refineries are not in favor of COW oper-ations, but if the cargo owner is a trading company theyoften insist on squeezing every barrel out of the ship’stanks; especially if they get paid per gross barrel. (Usuallythere is a clause in the sales contract that makes allowancefor Basic Sediment and Water (or BS&W).Some Owners of light, gassy crude oils worry that COWwill result into too much cargo evaporation losses, andwon’t allow it.

5. The period specified for discharge of the cargo statedelsewhere in this charter shall be increased by 0.5 hourper tank to be COW-ed and time to count aslaytime/demurrage.

Half an hour is fairly standard, whether it is a large tank ona VLCC, or on a small crude carrier.This ties-in with the 24-hour requirement under 1 above.

6. In case the Terminal does not allow the vessel to COWall cargo tanks, Owners will, after thorough stripping,not be responsible for any cargo Remaining On Board(ROB) consisting of liquid, mixed with sludge, at thebottom and/or on the bulkheads of cargo tanks.

See comments under 5)

7. In case of ROB in excess of .05% (= 250 bbl per500,000 bbls cargo) of B/L quantity, Owner andCharterer each to appoint a surveyor to determineROB by using the wedge formula if applicable.

In the old days when crude oil was cheap, a cargo loss ofless than .5% was often no reason for a claim. However,currently .05% is common.

Most modern tankers -large or small- are very efficient atpumping off the full cargo; especially ships with deepwellpumps that can strip a tank to just a few barrels. If the shipstays in service for the same Charterer and terminal andthe berth needs to be freed up, sometimes they let the shipgo with several hundred barrels still on board, becausethey know they will get it back the next time. However, it isalways good practice to look at the Charter Party, becausethere may be a clause that states that Charterers areallowed to deduct the value of the quantity ROB fromfreight. We do not agree with this, because the vesselOwners should be allowed to find protection under theHague-Visby Rules.
