No one was injured in the fight but police were deployed to prevent further outbreaks of violence.
GOUTA DETAINED IN CHINA Panamanian Ship Detained in E. China for Safety Measures A Panamanian ship that failed to carry out a new international protocol requiring all ships to be equipped with anti-terror systems has been detained in Penglai City, a coastal city in east China's Shandong Province. The ship, registered as "GOUTA", is a refrigerator vessel with 2,462 tons of capacity. It was heading from Panama to Penglai port this month when the local maritime safety administration found it lacked international security certificates or temporary international security certificates. The ship could only leave the port after obtaining the necessary security certificates, according to authorities with the local maritime safety administration. An international protocol took effect on July 1 this year to ensure anti-terror safety measures for international ships and harbors. Under the protocol, over 60,000 international ships and 20,000 international harbors will have to be equipped with anti-terror systems and related maritime safety administrations could detain or take other imperative measures on the ships without anti-terror systems.
Rotterdam als cruisehaven in opkomst Rotterdam krijgt woensdag bezoek van de Queen Mary II, het grootste cruiseschip ter wereld. De komst van het 71 meter hoge en 344 meter lange gevaarte bewijst dat de stad aantrekkelijker wordt als cruisehaven. ,,We hebben de afgelopen jaren veel gezaaid en zien nu voorzichtig een groen tapijtje'', zegt directeur Mai Elmar van Cruise Rotterdam. De stad was al bekend met grote passagierschepen. Vanaf de Cruise Terminal vertrokken sinds 1873 circa 800.000 immigranten met boten van de Holland-Amerika Lijn (HAL) naar andere continenten. ,,Rotterdam was een soort Schiphol op water'', aldus Elmar.

DAILY SHIPPING NEWSLETTER 2004 – 123 Pas eind jaren negentig ontstond bij het stads- en havenbestuur de ambitie om zich als cruisebestemming te profileren. Rotterdam knapte de vervallen Cruise Terminal op en baggerde de kade aan de Kop van Zuid uit. Elmar kreeg de opdracht contacten te leggen met de grote rederijen. Sindsdien doen de cruisereuzen 's werelds grootste goederenhaven steeds vaker aan. Het begon met vijf bezoeken in 2002. Dit jaar leggen zeven cruiseschepen aan, en voor volgend jaar zijn 21 zogeheten 'calls' binnen. Rotterdammers zijn er apetrots op. Vorig jaar liep de hele stad uit toen twee schepen tegelijkertijd in de haven lagen. ,,Traditioneel is er een enorme band met passagiervaart. Bijna iedereen heeft wel een familielid dat bij de HAL heeft gevaren'', verklaart Elmar de 'gekte' rond dat bezoek. Woensdag volgt waarschijnlijk een nieuwe oploop als de Queen Mary II binnenvaart. Ze is dan ook een bijzondere verschijning. Het schip kostte 632 miljoen euro en kan 2650 passagiers en 1200 bemanningsleden herbergen. In de vertrekken hangt voor een slordige 4 miljoen euro aan kunstwerken. De Queen Mary II krijgt in het Rotterdamse een warm onthaal van pleziervaartuigjes, spuitende blusboten, muziekkorpsen en een koor. Rond het bezoek gelden strenge veiligheidsmaatregelen. De politie wil geen mededelingen doen over hoe de Queen Mary II in verband met de terreurdreiging wordt bewaakt, maar zeker is dat het schip goed in de gaten wordt gehouden. De cruises geven Rotterdam een aardige economische impuls. De overwegend Amerikaanse en Canadese toeristen spenderen per bezoek gemiddeld 450.000 euro. Volgens Elmar kan Rotterdam als cruisehaven nog verder vooruit. Na de aanslagen van 11 september 2001 bleven de boekingen een tijdje achter, maar inmiddels groeit de markt met 4 tot 5 procent per jaar. Het is niet de bedoeling om Amsterdam naar de kroon te steken, benadrukt Elmar. De hoofdstad ontving vorig jaar 86 zeeschepen en dit jaar worden er 94 verwacht. ,,Alle toeristen willen bij hun eerste bezoek aan Europa Amsterdam zien'', zegt de directeur. ,,Maar, 80 procent van de reizigers in deze markt boekt nog een keer en verlangt dan wat anders. Wij zijn zo eigenwijs om ze naar Rotterdam te willen halen.'' Elmar bestrijdt dat de toeristen bij aankomst meteen een bustour naar Amsterdam boeken. ,,De meeste mensen bezoeken oude plaatsen als Dordrecht, Gouda, Delft en Kinderdijk. De stadstours langs de musea, Delfshaven en de architectuur zijn ook populair. En de Amerikanen zijn gek op shoppen.'' Elmar denkt dat de Europese toeristen ook best voor cruisevakanties zijn te porren. ,,Het idee over cruises is dat de passagiers rijke bejaarden zijn en dat je de hele dag zit te eten. Maar een vakantie is al vanaf een paar honderd euro te boeken. Je kunt bovendien heel actief zijn door aan boord te sporten, uit te gaan en in de omgeving tours te boeken.'' Op 31 juli komt een nieuw cruiseschip naar Rotterdam. De Westerdam vaart op zijn 'maiden trip' naar Nederland. Het bezoek maakt deel uit van de strategie van eigenaar Holland America Line om de band met de stad aan te halen. De inmiddels in de Verenigde Staten gevestigde rederij opent dezelfde dag een permanente tentoonstelling in het Maritiem Museum over de geschiedenis van de HAL.
CASUALTY REPORTING NEDERLANDERS BERGEN SCHIP BIJ DENEMARKEN Bergers van Multraship Salvage uit Terneuzen keerden zondag uit Denemarken terug na afronding van de succesvolle berging van de bulkcarrier “Petimata ot RMS”. Het Bulgaarse schip, geladen met zo'n 35.000 ton Potash, strandde op 9 juli j.l. op een ondergrond van stenen en zand voor de Deense kust ter hoogte van de Great Belt. Het schip was onderweg van

Boven : The MULTRATUG 7 houd de PETIMATA OT RMS vast terwijl de lading wordt gelost in de APOLLOGRACHT Photo : Multraship Terneuzen © Het schip was zodanig vastgelopen dat er alvorens het kon worden vlotgetrokken ca. 6.800 ton lading alsmede 1.000 ton bunkers moesten worden gelost om de diepgang te verminderen en het risico op eventuele milieuverontreiniging te minimaliseren. Naast het bergingsteam, bestaande uit o.a. bergingsinspecteurs, een nautisch ingenieur en duikers, werden de sleepboten Multratug 7, Michael en Norsund ingezet. De lading werd met een kraanschip in het vrachtschip “Apollogracht” van de Nederlandse rederij Spliethoff gelost, de bunkers werden overgepompt in een tanklichter. Op vrijdag 16 juli was er voldoende lading gelost om het schip vlot te kunnen trekken. Daarna werd het schip naar een ankerplaats gesleept alwaar een uitgebreide inspectie door de bergingsduikers werd uitgevoerd. Het schip bleek geen noemenswaardige schade te hebben opgelopen en kreeg toestemming om de haven van Kalundborg op te lopen, alwaar de geloste lading en bunkers weer terug in het schip geladen konden worden. De 9 dagen durende bergingsoperatie werd zondagmiddag 18 juli afgerond. Het schip kan haar reis naar Brazilie op eigen kracht vervolgen. De “Petimata ot RMS” strandde precies een maand na de bulkcarrier “Domiat”, een soortgelijk schip wat eveneens voor de Deense kust strandde en door Multraship Salvage werd geborgen.
Zeiljacht zinkt na botsing op Westerschelde Een Noors zeiljacht is in de nacht van zondag op maandag op de Westerschelde gezonken na een aanvaring met een vissersschip. De twintig opvarenden van het plezierjacht zijn allemaal in veiligheid gebracht. De bemanning van de Nederlandse kotter kwam met de schrik vrij, aldus de politie. Door de aanvaring is een van de twee vaargeulen tussen Antwerpen en de Noordzee voorlopig gestremd. Als het houten jacht is geborgen, wordt de vaarroute weer vrijgegeven. Onduidelijk is nog hoe lang dat gaat duren. Vooralsnog levert het gezonken jacht geen problemen op voor de scheepvaart. Schepen kunnen hun route via een omweg vervolgen. Het zeiljacht en het vissersschip kwamen ter hoogte van Vlissingen door nog onbekende oorzaak met elkaar in aanvaring. Kort daarna zonk het jacht en belandden de passagiers, leden van een scoutinggroep uit Noorwegen, in het

SHIPYARD NEWS
Yard slots to open Japanese builders have been holding 70 VLCCs-worth of berth space that now looks set to hit the market. Shipyards in Japan are facing up to the possibility of losing out on a $5.5bn contract to build a floating runway for Tokyo's Haneda airport. A competitive bid from Japanese marine construction company Penta-Ocean Construction is being tipped as the likely winner of the contract. If Penta-Ocean lands the deal, then dozens of newbuilding slots in 2006 will unexpectedly become available for merchant shipbuilding orders this autumn. And there could be some uncomfortable consequences for the shipping markets. Brokers say some Japanese yards have already started to take provisional orders for merchant ships to be built in berths that had been reserved for the construction of huge floating runway sections. The yards had been decribed as "dead cert" winners of the contract as they were backed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure&Transport, which has subsidised research into the new offshore technology dubbed "Mega-float" by its designers. One Tokyo broker told TradeWinds: "Some shipyards are already assuming that they are not building the floating runway sections and are planning cover for berth space." Newbuilding berths in 2006 and 2007, amounting to about 70 VLCCs of space, had been held back by shipyards in anticipation of building the floating sections. Each section is roughly the size of a VLCC and, to achieve the necessary precision, must be built in a dry dock. A consortium of major and medium-size Japanese shipbuilders and steel makers are now bidding for the runway project. Major builders like Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries were lined up to build seven or eight sections each. Smaller yards were to contribute two or three sections each. Several factors are now working against the Japanese yard consortium. Steel prices have increased rapidly, making the shipyards' bids less competitive. And cost has become an increasingly important factor. The Japanese government is highly cost conscious and has already cut its budget by¥20bn ($184m) by reducing the planned height of the terminal. In addition, the competing Japanese land-based construction companies are short of work and desperate to build the Tokyo air terminal. The land construction companies are planning to team up with marine construction companies, like Penta-Ocean, to offer a hybrid design, which employs the already proven land-fill technique in combination with a pier-type system. Shipyards are unlikely to be prepared to take a loss on the Mega-float project at a time when shipbuilding prices are on the rise. It has even been privately suggested that the yards are only bidding for the runway project to meet an obligation to the government for receiving subsidies to develop Mega-float. Although the amount of yard space that would be freed up is considerable, brokers are playing down the possible effect on the market. They believe the impact will be nothing like the sudden arrival of 70 free VLCC newbuilding berths. They say that in many cases shipyards already have contingency orders in place.

DAILY SHIPPING NEWSLETTER 2004 – 123 The very short lead times, especially for the 2006 deliveries, might also force yards to reshuffle delivery slots rather than attempt to build ships in a matter of months. The future supply-and-demand scenarios suggest the dry-bulk and tanker markets would not suffer too badly from the addition of a few extra ships but it is a different story for the container market. A number of Asian lines that have missed out in the rush to order in Korea could now be contenders for the sudden openings in Japan. Market analysts already expect up to 1.4 million teu of boxship capacity to be built in 2006, expanding the containership fleet by 15% in just one year. Brokers are already warning that if this tonnage arrives at the same time as demand growth slows, as happened in 1998 and 2001, the implications will be dire. If another pile of mega-containerships are added in the equation, 2006 could be an absolute nightmare.

Spanish cruise liner in Maltese harbour every Friday
Maltese people looking for a one-week Mediterranean cruise have the answer waiting at the Valletta Harbour every Friday in the form of New Flamenco, a Spanish cruise-liner that tours the ports of Tunis, Barcelona, Nice, Rome and Naples. Mondial Travel has entered into a part-charter agreement with Travelplan, the liner’s operator, to allow Maltese passengers to board the New Flamenco in July, August and September. The ship passes through the Maltese harbour every week, which makes it very convenient for the Maltese. It results in a practical and hassle-free holiday, said Mondial Travel managing director Martin Degiorgio. The Spanish atmosphere includes lively entertainment which the Maltese usually enjoy, he said. This makes a great family holiday as children under 16 board for nothing.

Discounted prices for the one-week cruise start from Lm299, plus taxes, per person for a twin cabin, said Mr Degiorgio. The third and fourth paying adults in a cabin get a 50 per cent reduction. He explained that when a liner visits a non-EU port, such as Tunis, the whole ship is exempt from VAT. The ship’s itinerary also introduces Malta to many foreigners who were previously unaware of the island’s charm. Mr Degiorgio said that often foreign passengers did not know much about Malta, so their visit here turns out to be a pleasant surprise.

IMC hot for floaters Singapore-based IMC Group is getting into the floating storage sector with orders for two floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) hulls at Samsung Heavy Industries. Samsung Heavy Industries, One of the FPSO has been ordered by a joint venture between IMC and Japanese FPSO specialist Modec. A second hull has been ordered for IMC's own account. The suezmax-dimensioned FPSOs are planned to have a storage capacity of between 1m and 1.4m barrels. The first hull is due for delivery in July 2007. No financial details have been disclosed but a similar sized unit at Samsung last year by Australian energy concern Woodside for $60m. The joint venture, IMC-Modec JV1 Pte, looks to have stolen a march on sector rivals by ordering the two hulls now. The shortage of delivery berths resulting from the recent boom in newbuilding activity has become a bottleneck for FPSO contractors. IMC and Modec said they had established the joint venture company in order to “secure the early delivery of an FPSO hull that will be deployed to a project in the near future”. Neither party was willing to disclose where the first FPSO will be deployed, but one industry expert suggested it may be for Murphy Oil’s Kikeh project off Malaysia.
