Deel bemanning gezonken schip terug naar huis

De meeste opvarenden van de MIGHTY SERVANT 3 dat afgelopen week voor de kust van Angola is gezonken, mogen zondag het land verlaten. Dat zei directeur Goedee van rederij Dockwise tegenover de Wereldomroep. Alleen de Nederlandse kapitein en enkele officieren moeten nog voor onderzoek in Angola blijven. De rest van de Nederlandse en Fillipijnse bemanning mag morgen naar huis. Het schip, de Mighty Servant 3, zonk woensdag toen het voor de Angolese kust bezig was een boorplatform te lossen. Over de oorzaak van het ongeluk is nog niets bekend.

Tug crews’ Guernsey link brings strike threat

The Bachmann Group administers the employment registration and payroll of Adsteam, the UK’s largest harbourtowage operator.

Workers are angry that offshore registration means they lose out on 12.5% National Insurance payments and are threatening to strike if their employer refuses to register them onshore. With the company’s tugs operating at Liverpool, Hull, Immingham, Gravesend, Medway, Felixstowe and Southampton, the strike would bring the main ports in the UK to a standstill. In March 2003, Adsteam took advantage of legislation relating to offshore manning of British-flagged vessels by reregistering tug workers in Guernsey. Bachmann’s company, Guernsey Ship Management, was chosen, making it the largest offshore employer of seafarers with a payroll of approximately 7,000. This had the effect of saving the company the 12.5% National Insurance payment. The Transport & General Workers’ Union maintains this has never been passed back to its members. A press office spokesman said yesterday that the union was uneasy from the outset as to the implication of the move for staff. ‘Our tug workers are not seafarers, they are land-based and spend a short time on the water before going back into port,’ he said. ‘We are concerned that the claim they are seafarers is some sort of loophole being exploited for the company’s gain.’ Bachmann Group said it was unable to comment on behalf of its client. Adsteam is negotiating a merger with its main rival, Svitzer, which is owned by shipping conglomerate Maersk. Richard Crease, the union chair of the Adsteam national shop stewards committee, said this had brought the dispute into focus. ‘We have never felt happy with Adsteam moving our employment registration offshore and believe the time is right to restore us to the mainland,’ he said. ‘Adsteam seem adamant that it is not their responsibility and prefer to pass the buck to Svitzer. We don’t agree and that’s why we have a dispute which is now likely to go to a strike ballot.’ Adsteam’s chief executive in Europe, Stephen Eastwood, said that the group had been considering for some time the return of employees’ registration to the UK. ‘Following a change in UK legislation, offshore manning finished in October 2003. Since that time Adsteam employees and the payroll centre have remained in Guernsey.’ He said the transfer had some potential complications in terms of employment contracts. But in principle the company had no objection to the change because there would be nothing to lose or gain for either company or employees.

South Korean navy rescues 2 North Korean soldiers

South Korea's navy rescued a pair of North Korean soldiers from a small boat off the eastern Korean coast this weekend, but it was unclear if they had been planning to defect, a Defense Ministry official said Sunday.

The three-ton wooden boat was found drifting off South Korea's eastern port of Sokcho near the maritime border with communist North Korea on Saturday night and the two soldiers were taken to a hospital, the official said, asking not to be identified as he wasn't authorized to speak to media. The official said the two were not in good condition, but would not elaborate and declined to give their names. Military and intelligence authorities plan to question the soldiers as soon as they recover, the official said. While some North Koreans have defected by sea to the south, it is not unusual for the South Korean Navy to rescue North Korean boats and return their crews home. PSi-Daily Shipping News

2 Hoekse KNRM opstappers ontvangen vrijwilligersmedaille

Vrijdagavond 8 september werden 2 opstappers van KNRM reddingstation Hoek van Holland beloond met de vrijwilligersmedaille openbare orde en veiligheid. De opstappers Aad Vreugedenhil en Ron Zegers kregen deze onderscheiding als blijk van waardering voor meer dan 15 jaar vrijwilligerswerk ten dienste van KNRM reddingstation Hoek van Holland. De heer J.B. Troost, agent van de Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij in Hoek van Holland reikte de onderscheiding met het jaarteken uit, bijgestaan door schipper Jan van der Sar. De vrouwen die zeker een belangrijke rol spelen

bij het reddingwerk werden bedacht met een fraaie bos bloemen. Aad en Ron werden in januari 1991 officieel aangenomen als opstapper op de toenmalige reddingboot Koningin Juliana met schipper Rien Noorthoek. In datzelfde jaar werd ook de fusie naar de huidige reddingmaatschappij een feit. Ook in 1991 kwam de reddingboot Javazee naar Hoek van Holland die de oudere reddingboot Koningin Juliana verving. De Javazee werd in 1998 weer vervangen door de snellere Kapiteins Hazewinkel die dienst heeft gedaan tot januari 2006. Sinds begin dit jaar vaart reddingstation Hoek van holland met de Jeanine Parqui, het grootste en meest geoutilleerde snelle reddingsvaartuig van Europa. Aad Vreugdenhil en Ron Zegers waren blij verrast dat deze blijk van waardering aan hen is toegekend door het bestuur van de Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij namens hare majesteit de koningin. Aad en Ron hebben al veel mensen gered. Zij gaan zeker nog jaren door met vrijwilligerswerk voor reddingstation Hoek van Holland. Hiervoor zijn de opstappers 24 uur per dag en 365 dagen in het jaar oproepbaar.

Captain of tall ship says rogue wave swept woman overboard An air search for a 25-year-old woman who was washed over the side of a Nova Scotia-based tall ship off the U.S. coast was called off Saturday night and was expected to resume at first light on Sunday. PSi-Daily Shipping News

DAILY COLLECTION OF MARITIME PRESS CLIPPINGS 2006 – 257 U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman Lieut. Stephanie Burns said an American C-130 aircraft that had been searching an area about 765 kilometres east-southeast of Cape Cod, Mass., had finished its search. There was still no sign of the Canadian woman, who was swept off the Picton Castle at around 9:30 Friday night after a large rogue wave slammed into the sailing ship. Burns said another Hercules would return in the morning to continue looking, while the Picton Castle planned to stay at the scene and search through the night. The U.S. Coast Guard estimated the woman would be able to survive about 36 hours, based on factors including her age, her physical fitness and the water temperature of around 22 C. "The 36-hour point should be about nine o'clock (Sunday), so if we do a first-light search in the morning that will take us through that 36-hour point," said Burns. "At that point we'll evaluate whether or not to actually suspend or possibly keep searching." A merchant tanker had also helped in the search, which covered more than 1,900 square kilometres. The woman was not wearing a life-jacket at the time and the seas were as high as seven metres, while winds reached gale-force strength. Dan Moreland, senior captain of the Picton Castle, said crew aboard the 55-metre barque have told him a massive wave washed over the ship as it was en route to Grenada after leaving Lunenburg, N.S., on Tuesday. Moreland, one of the vessel's two captains, said the crew immediately threw several pieces of rescue gear into the water to mark the site and give her something to grab onto. "They were pretty rough conditions," he said Saturday in an interview from Lunenburg. "It sounds like the ship definitely got swept by a very substantial wave, an unusually large one." Moreland said it was pitch black at the time, making it almost impossible for the crew of 29 to see her. When darkness closed in Saturday, the Picton and the commercial vessel shone lights on the water's surface. "There's prospect for hope, but the longer it is, the worse it is," he said. "The crew is tired, but they're persevering. This is a rough go." The woman, who has some experience on boats, was on a shelter deck in the rear of the vessel, which Moreland said is considered a safe area. It wasn't clear whether she was on watch duty at the time. Petty Officer Donna Jefferson of the U.S. Coast Guard said a Hercules from Greenwood, N.S., had finished its search and headed home to refuel. It was replaced by a Hercules out of North Carolina. Jefferson said winds were gusting at 55 and 75 kilometres an hour Friday night. The winds had eased by Saturday, with waves at about three metres. The vessel is owned and operated by the Windward Isles Sailing Ship Co. Ltd. It functions as a deep-ocean sail training and long-distance education vessel. The Picton Castle has berths for 40 sail trainees and 12 professional crew members. Crew sent a posting from the vessel on Thursday, two days after it headed out of port in Lunenburg on its voyage. It described the new trainees bundling up in six layers of clothing as they tried to keep warm and adjust to life aboard a "rolling ship." "Crew are having experiences that they can tell stories about for the rest of their lives, as we banged the ice off the lines while leaving Lunenburg," the crew member wrote. "This is the stuff legends are made of."

Australische piloot wegens dronkenschap veroordeeld

Een piloot van de luchtvaartmaatschappij Emirates is wegens zware dronkenschap tot vier maanden cel veroordeeld. De 51-jarige gezagsvoerder probeerde aan boord van zijn toestel te geraken, alhoewel hij het toelaatbare alcoholgehalte serieus had overschreden. Dat berichtten de Britse kranten zaterdag. De Australiër wilde de Boeing 777 met ruim 300 passagiers aan boord van de Londense luchthaven Heathrow naar Dubai vliegen. De piloot was tijdens de veiligheidscontrole van het vliegtuig opgevallen en gearresteerd. De politie stelde een alcoholgehalte van 1,34 promille in zijn bloed vast. De toelaatbare limiet bedraagt 0,2 promille.

Volop zeemans-nostalgie bij opening Ebro-expositie Afgelopen zaterdag was het in verschillend opzicht in het sleepvaartmuseum een ochtend met veel nostalgie. In een aparte, wat krap bemeten, zaal werd een mini-expositie over het wel en wee van de laatste stoomsleper van Smit, de Ebro, geopend. In de ruimte aan de Stadhuiskade beneden in het museum is in kort bestek het bestaan van de veel besproken sleepboot in beeld gebracht. In 1931 kwam het fraai gelijnde schip bij de werf Piet Smit te Rotterdam van de helling. Er is daar trouwens nog een film van te zien op het grootbeeldscherm in het museum. Gedurende de Tweede Wereldoorlog heeft de sleper nuttige, zij het bescheiden diensten aan de geallieerden geleverd.

DAILY COLLECTION OF MARITIME PRESS CLIPPINGS 2006 – 257 Spoedig na de oorlogsperiode werd duidelijk dat stoomsleepboten gestookt op kolen hun tijd gehad hadden. In 1948 werden de kolenstokers op de Ebro overbodig want het schip werd verbouwd tot oliestoker. Een simpel kraantje was daarna voldoende om het vuur onder de ketels te doven en dat gegeven zou nog van pas komen. Het bestaan van de sleepboot ging ongestoord verder, want er was werk genoeg in de slepersmarkt van die tijd. In januari 1958 lag de Ebro met een sleep te schuilen in de haven van Vlissingen toen een oproep werd ontvangen om het vrachtschip Lindekerk van de VNS, dat bij Schouwen dreigde te stranden, te hulp te komen. Kapitein J. Bruins uit Maassluis, toen 32 jaar, besloot ondanks het barre weer (men lag niet voor niets te schuilen) met zijn 18 koppige bemanning en bescheiden sleepboot om aan de oproep gehoor te geven. Eenmaal in zee bleek de golfslag dermate hoog en hevig dat het kompas door het slingeren nauwelijks meer was af te lezen. De sleper raakte uit de koers en stootte vlakbij de vrachtvaarder aan de grond, raakte lek en liep langzaam maar zeker vol met water. Kapitein Bruins zag dat de situatie hopeloos was, besloot tot het uitzenden van een noodsein en gaf, in verband met explosiegevaar van de gloeiend hete stoomketel, opdracht het vuur te doven. Dankzij dat kraantje waar eerder sprake van was, lukte dat doven heel snel. Vervolgens moest de bemanning, door alle ellende nat geworden, in de januari-kou anderhalf uur wachten op de komst van de reddingboot uit Veere met schipper Minneboo aan het roer. Het lukte wonderwel alle bemanningsleden van boord te halen. Kapitein Bruins slaagde er zelfs in de scheepspapieren veilig te stellen. Eén man raakte tijdens het overspringen op het reddingsvaartuig gewond aan zijn voet. Hij werd in het vooronder gelegd en liep een flinke slok cognac mis, die de anderen wèl kregen om weer een beetje warm te worden. De Ebro werd na de storm geïnspecteerd door de mannen van Van den Tak Bergingsbedrijf. Alleen de schoorsteen en stukken mast staken nog boven water uit. De stuurhut was geheel weggeslagen. Mede op last van de verzekering besloot men niet tot lichten over te gaan en in de loop van de volgende maanden zonk de oude stoomsleper langzaam onder water weg in het zand. Bijna 30 jaar later, om precies te zijn in 1984, ontdekte een sportduiker dat de romp van de Ebro dankzij de veranderde stroming door de Oosterscheldewerken, weer zo goed als geheel uit het zand te voorschijn was gekomen. Op verzoek van een aantal Zeeuwse sleepvaartenthousiasten werd het restant van de sleper “en passant” door de daar werkzaam geweest zijnde bok Taklift 4 gelicht en op de wal in Vlissingen geplaatst. Daarvan is ondermeer in de expositie een reportage te zien. Het mocht helaas niet baten, want de restanten van de sleper bleken te ver weg te zijn geroest. Sloop was nog het enig mogelijke.

De door de Middelburger Jaap Heijliger c.s. opgerichte stichting ter restauratie van de Ebro ging een slapend bestaan leiden. Dit jaar heeft men tenslotte besloten die tot algemeen maritiem culturele omgevormde stichting te liquideren. De provenuen werden deels aan het Nationaal Sleepvaart Museum toegekend. ( Foto : Adri van de Wege © ) Riek Heijliger, de weduwe van de inmiddels helaas overleden sleepvaartenthousiast van het eerste uur, was voor de opening van de tentoonstelling naar Maassluis gekomen. Hiermee kon zij dit hoofdstuk uit het leven van haar man als afgesloten gaan beschouwen. Samen met de inmiddels 81-jarige kapitein Bruins luidde zij in aanwezigheid van een aantal medestanders van haar echtgenoot, de bewaard gebleven scheepsbel van de Ebro. Het bestuur van de Ebro-stichting overhandigde bij monde van haar laatste voorzitter, maritiem auteur C. Heijkoop, aan zowel kapitein Bruins als aan het sleepvaartmuseum een klein doch fraai model van een sloep, vervaardigd uit het originele dekhout van de onfortuinlijke sleepboot. Hans de Klerk, samensteller van de expositie, zal het een ere-plaats in het museum geven.

U bent iedere dag, behalve op maandagen, van 14.00 tot 17.00 welkom om alles te bekijken. Op 1e Kerstdag en Nieuwjaarsdag is het museum gesloten.
