The main hazards of LNG marine fuel in a casualty

 Do not let the ship sink, do not spill gas and do not let it catch fire; that was the advice from Smit Salvage master Sylvia Tervoort for owners of gas-fuelled ships. Ms Tervoort was talking about the technical challenges of salvaging ships fuelled by LNG if they became a marine casualty at the International Salvage Union (ISU) conference in London this March. After a couple of years' research into the risks, she concluded that an LNG-fuelled ship could be salvaged in only two conditions – if it was dry and intact.

There is real concern that salvage operations would be severely hampered by the

Danish systems and sensors house Terma unveiled a new compact tactical mission system for small ships at DSEI 2015 in London.

Based on the company's full-sized C-Flex combat management system, C-Flex Compact is a scaled-down version designed to meet the requirements of maritime patrol vessels carrying out search-and-rescue operations and law enforcement tasks. According to the company it provides situational awareness, supports efficient planning and decision-making, and contains tools for intelligence and legal evidence collection.

A new software application designed to make reporting obligations for shipping operators simpler and more cost effective has been developed through the FP7-funded EMAR project. The new system, called i-Ship, connects vessels, operators and reporting authorities together in a collaborative web-based reporting system that offers greater clarity and speed.

The system achieves this by providing a single link for shipping companies to submit their reporting formalities. i-Ship is fully compliant with EU administrative procedural laws, and also offers users a range of advanced reporting features including easy pre-loading and notifications.

Other benefits include complete systems integration and customisation, along with visibility of

ContaminaciCocC

Bandera azul. Playas esplendorosas. Todo maravilloso. Pero la contaminación marina está presente en muchas playas españolas. En los lugares de baño. Allí donde se bañan decenas de personas, que se exponen a lo peor. Y las autoridades competentes guardan silencio. Ya lo resolverá la Seguridad Social, por urgencias, porque por otra vía puede tardar meses. Y mientras los presupuestos crecen y crecen. SE dice que sobran funcionarios, pero lo que falta es conciencia social, sentido de la responsabilidad. Discurso político y evidencia, viven en un divorcio permanente.

La España de "Tatachundi Lerchundi," ESTÁ CADA DÍA MÁS PRESENTE.
