Inland cargo ship ran aground, damaged, may break in two, Western Scheldt
Inland cargo ship MVS SOWNENT loaded with soil ran aground at around 1750 UTC April 14 on Western Scheldt near Baalhoek, Netherlands, while sailing downstream. The ship suffered serious damages, hull is breached, understood to get cracks, but there's no immediate danger of breaking. She was refloated and taken below grounding site, to be offloaded and after that, towed to Hansweert.

First ship tunnel to be constructed in Norway
Norway plans for
a pioneering construction
project that will facilitate ship transportation. The
plan includes the construction of
a tumnel from
which ships will pass by in order to avoid the Stad
peninsula. The endeavor has been underway since
2017 and was approved by Norway”s Ministry of
Transport and Communications in late February
2021.
The waters in the Stad peninsula are dangerous
since it is an exposed area where navigation is
challenging. Except for the water currents, the
underwater topography creates additional issues
including unpredictable waves which may persist
for
a significant amount of time after
a storm has
passed.
The Norwegian Coastal Administration stated
that plans for alternatives such as the one currently underway have been suggested for years. Even the
Vikings used to drag their ships over the land in
order to avoid the dangerous conditions around the
peninsula. During World War II, the Germans also
made plans to construct
a similar project, however,
according to Terje Andreassen, head of the
Norwegian Coastal Administration, “the war didn”t
last long enough to build it”.
The tunnel will create an alternative, faster
route for ships around the peninsula. It will stretch
for 1700 meters and will be 37 and 36 meters in
height and width, respectively. The construction
will begin from the two sides of the tunnel
(probably using the drilling and blasting
technique). The tunnel face will be excavated in
multiple phases. The top of the tunnel will be
supported by
a layer of shotcrete. Routes from
which the excavated material will be transported
outside ofthe tunnel will also be established.
The two entrances of the tunnel will feature
walls made from the excavated rocks. The interior
of the facility will have led lights that will function
both as an aesthetic and
a navigation tool. The
design aims at making the tunnel fit with the
surrounding nature and not interrupt the natural
environment.
The total cost of the project is expected to
reach $325MM with officials mentioning that
funding has been secured. The construction process
is planned to begin in early 2022 after signing
a
contract in 2021. Officials suggest that the
construction phase will last for 3-4 years, hence, the
tunnel will be completed by 2026.
Norway is
a pioneering country for tunnel
engineering and has more than 1,100 facilities. The
rough terrain and the rockmass conditions (which
are generally good) have favored the establishment
of such projects.
Despite the excitement for the project, not
everyone is in favor of it. According to Knut
Samset, Professor of project management at the
Norwegian University of Science and Technology,
the project is not going to be financially prosperous
due to its high cost, the fact that it will not always
be thefaster route and that modem ships will not be
obliged to use it. “It's
a very expensive thing.
Weather permitting, it's as fast to sail around the
cape as it is to sail into the fjord and through the tunnel. Plus, today”s boats are big enough and safe
enough to handle the choppy waters, which makes
traveling through the tunnel
a moot point.”, Prof.
Samset stated.

What the Ever Given can tell us about mental health at sea
Captain Lee Clarke from Tapiit Live on one of the
overlooked aspects stemming from last month's Suez
blockage.
Thirty days ago,
a ship named Ever Given was
sailing in relative anonymity. Twenty-nine days
ago, that same ship found itself splashed across the
front cover of every national newspaper from
London to Lima.
In
a matter of hours, the ship and its 25 strong
crew went from highly skilled seafarers to media
targets. In the maelstrom of social media memes,
newspaper cover stories and “special reports”, one
major thing was forgotten, more likely ignored: the
crew”'s mental well-being.
In
a world of social media, everyone is an
expert, and never has that been felt more in the
maritime industry than now.
A frenzy of blame
erupted almost instantly with little or no merit or
fact-checking, as evidenced by the naming of
a
female officer as the Ever Given's Captain,
regardless of the fact she was over 200 miles away
on another vessel.
Being
a seafareris
a stressful job, irrespective
of
a global incident, especially when you factor in
being away from family for extended periods and
working contract to contract with little job security.
You also have to cope with fatigue, extreme weather conditions and intense time pressure placed
upon the crew and its Master by multiple state and
global agencies as well as the ship”s own charter.
So, add to that taking the “blame” for halting $9.6
billion of trade
a day, understandably, stress levels
rise astronomically.
As an industry, mental health appears still to be
very much
a taboo topic. Seafarers are more likely
to be signed off and dismissed for being deemed
“unfit to serve” than they are to receive any form of
support. Whilst onboard, the mood will feel
somewhat supportive with the crew banding
together to keep the ship operating, internally, each
and every seafarer, from deckhand to Master will be
worrying about their reputation and thus, their
employability.
I- __________ my experience as
a Captain, your
crew is your first line II- ____________ defence III- ____________any major incident. As soon as
something goes awry, they burst IV- _____________ action,
they're trained to do so, it's instinctive. I have no
doubt, everyone aboard the Ever Given did
everything V- _________ their power to protect that
ship and avoid
a major incident, but some things are
VI- __________your control. In reality, they will
never be praised for saving the ship, only criticised
for grounding it.
This crew is acutely aware of the issues the
incident has caused and they are reminded of it
every time they open their phone or computer to
read the news or speak to their families, and I feel
for every single one ofthem.
They”re now stuck in an Egyptian lake, further
away from their families, without the ability to
defend themselves with the threat of civil and
criminal charges looming. This downward spiral
will undoubtedly be taking its toll on their mental
health and in the past, there hasn't been much of
a
support system in place to help.
Based on my experience offshore, working for
a
company that provides mental well-being training,
and from all of the feedback, Tapiit has garnered
from its live-streamed mental health awareness
courses, seafarers want and need this support. Yet,
there's
a deep-rooted fear that admitting they're
struggling and asking for help will be the end of
their careers.
Of course, the conversation has advanced
significantly, however, it's still not where it should
be. The harsh reality is, the Ever Given and its crew
will be forgotten about in
a month or two”s time,
but this crew is hurting and will continue to struggle
with the mental health issues caused by the incident
for years to come.
