According to this article, ship owners are currently less likely to scrap their vessels, only doing so if they are too costly to repair, due to increasing calls for older tonnage to meet workload demands.

The superior strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and versatility of UHMWPE ropes make them essential in marine shipping. From towing and mooring to anchoring, these ropes ensure efficiency and safety at sea.

What is LOLO vessel? Lift-on/lift-off (LoLo) vessels are specialized cargo vessels equipped with on-board cranes designed to efficiently load and unload various types of cargo. Unlike other types of ships that rely on external port infrastructure or equipment for cargo handling, LoLo ships have their own integrated cranes, enabling them to self-manage the loading and unloading operations. These cranes can lift heavy containers, machinery, and other goods from the ship’s deck and safely place them onto the dock or vice versa. The ability to handle cargo independently offers flexibility and reduces dependency on port facilities, making LoLo ships suitable for ports with limited infrastructure or locations where specialized equipment may not be readily available. https://lnkd.in/d3WFYK2

It is so important to have situational awareness.

This is a real-life example of the stored-energy of a mooring hawser. The hawser appears to catch on the guide of the warping bollard. The point of this post isn't to assign blame, but to demonstrate the lesson to ALWAYS maintaining visual on the line you're hauling in. The winch can easily tension the line to 35 tonnes or more, and the elasticity of HDPE hawsers mean they absorb a lot of energy as 'potential energy' when stretched. That potential energy is converted to kinetic energy with millions of Newtons of force when it releases. #maritime #safety #management

A risk assessment must go beyond the paper-base, risk matrixes, etc. Due to the dynamic nature of RISK in general, there could be a deviation from what is observed, discussed, and captured on paper. Hence, the Last Minute Risk Assessment (LMRA) is needed. In my organization, Smit Lamnalco, we launched a campaign called "LMRA (Last Minute Risk Assessment). The idea is to allow individuals to assess the risks themselves from the start of the job, during the job, and upon completion of the job. This helped shift the focus from solely relying on the paper-based risk assessment to instead scanning the environment and identifying the hazards around them. In this video, the LMRA (Last Minute Risk Assessment) could have been a lifesaver and game changer. #riskassessment #safety #risk #marinesafety #crewsafety Zuzar Gandhi

This is a stark reminder of the harzards related to mooring operations. Whether it be a mooring line, or anchor chain, tight spaces on superyachts where often the whole mooring deck is a snap back zone with no easy egress, make it even more critical to pay close attention to the operation along with suitable training and supervision. #superyachts #mooring #anchoring #crew #safety
