Continuous investment in safety is non-negotiable to ensure the safety of over 4.3 billion ferry passengers. But as our Chief Stability Officer of Safety Solutions, Markus Tompuri, explains in Ship Management International, the global ferry industry faces unique safety and stability challenges which require equally unique solutions. As the industry undergoes digital transformation and decarbonization, ferry operators are increasingly adopting cloud-based stability management and data-driven tools to enhance safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. NAPA Stability for Ferries uses advanced 3D modelling, which accounts for the ship’s unique design, and uses this to cover a wide range of calculations related to hydrostatics, intact stability, damage stability, and longitudinal strength.

VESSEL REVIEW: Vessel operator HADAG, a subsidiary of German transport provider Hamburger Hochbahn, have placed a new commuter ferry into service. Sponsored by Japanese shipping company Ocean Network Express, 'Neuland' is the first in a planned series of three vessels that HADAG will operate in the Elbe River. The ferry has an LOA of 33.4 metres (110 feet), a beam of 8.3 metres (27 feet), an elevated wheelhouse from which the vessel may be operated by only one crewmember, and space for up to 250 passengers on main (146 passengers) and upper decks (84) with access between decks provided by a wide staircase. The exterior areas on the main deck can also accommodate bicycles while all passenger spaces are barrier-free to provide enhanced access even for individuals with limited mobility. The ferry will operate primarily on two batteries that are capable of overnight charging, though charging will be done twice a day so that electric-only sailings can be done for longer periods. A diesel engine will be used mainly as backup in the event that the battery power drops below adequate levels while the vessel is still underway. The engine complies with EU Stage V requirements, which means it can generate significantly fewer CO2 emissions compared to standard diesel engines, thus further reducing the ferry’s environmental impact.

The Ver.di union and the ZDS - Zentralverband der deutschen Seehafenbetriebe / Association of German Seaport Operators have concluded their fourth round of negotiations on a new labor agreement for approximately 11,000 port workers. ZDS proposed two options: a 12-month contract with €1,000 inflation compensation and a €0.95 hourly wage increase, or a 16-month contract with €1,400 inflation compensation and a €1.15 hourly wage increase. Both options include higher shift allowances and an additional €480 holiday pay. This is set to start on January 1st, 2025. Despite the offer, Ver.di believes it falls short of expectations but acknowledged some demands were met, such as financial bonuses for shift work stress. Union members will vote on the proposals on August 22 and 23. The previous contract expired in May, leading to strikes that disrupted ports in Hamburg, Bremerhaven, and Edem. These strikes halted cargo shipments, affecting international trade.  ZDS highlighted that the proposed pay increases are significant given the current financial challenges and the need for investments in energy transformation and training. They believe that the final offer will help maintain confidence in the reliability of port operations. Union members' feedback will determine Ver.di’s next steps.

Congratulations to all those involved in the development of Höegh Autoliners' Höegh Aurora, the world's largest pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) vessel, which is set to embark on its maiden voyage, following on from its delivery and naming ceremony this week. The newbuild ship, the first of 12 in the shipping company’s Aurora class, has been constructed with DNV’s ammonia-ready and methanol-ready notations, meaning it is capable of running on either of these alternative fuels when they become more widely available. Designed by Deltamarin and built by China Merchants Heavy Industry, the Aurora class vessels are said to be one of the world’s most environmentally friendly PCTCs, with the potential to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 10,000 MT of CO2 in one year (tank-to-wake) and around 6,200 MT CO2eq (well-to-wake).

#Vessels burn significant amounts of fuel for propulsion, energy production and also for other processes on board. Fuel expenses are a significant part of the running costs for commercial vessels, and with falling freight rates, owners are compelled to focus on increased efficiency. In addition, regulations from IMO and the EU require operators and owners to report on the fuel consumption and effluent emissions from each vessel. The combination of the KROHNE EcoMATE™ system and OPTIMASS Coriolis mass flow meters provides an accurate and reliable monitoring system that measures every point of fuel consumption on board a ship or a fleet of ships.

⚠ ICM update ⚠ The ICM case on the line Hamburg - Flensburg / Padborg is still ongoing. The updated forecast for re-opening has been set for tomorrow, September 10th, at noon. 📅 Since Saturday, both freight and passenger traffic were able to restart, albeit only partially, through a slot approach with fair distribution between all traffic types and RUs. Currently, only one train per hour in both directions is allowed. 🚆 The running time is foreseen to take 30-40 minutes longer due to reduced speed on the line (40 km/h). Checks are being carried out during each train passage, and works are ongoing to reconnect signalling cables and switches. 🚧 We will keep informing you on the case's developments. 📰 #ScanMedRFC #international #contingency #management

The IQAX eBL Platform successfully sent the first eBL issued by Hapag-Lloyd AG to The Topocean Group , a significant milestone in the growing recognition and adoption of IQAX eBL within the international shipping industry. Eric Wang, the Director of Fujian & Guangdong Province at Topocean Group, said: "Topocean Group is actively involved in the digitalization of shipping. In the past, we had to process B/Ls from multiple carriers through different channels, a labor-intensive and resource-intensive process. With IQAX eBL, we can now manage eBLs from multiple carriers in one platform. This optimizes the handling of bills of lading, reduces the required time and manpower, and improves overall efficiency in handling bills of lading. The single-view platform of the IQAX eBL Platform also provides key dynamic information of containers, making it convenient to check the progress of transportation."   We thank Topocean Group for recognizing the value of IQAX eBL. IQAX eBL will continue to actively expand its carrier network to provide more convenient services for shippers and forwarders. #IQAXeBL #billsoflading #eBL #digitaltransformation #shippinglogisitcs
