ON THE COVER Published by More Maximum Media

Despite the downturn in piracy in certain regions, our maritime domain continues to attract criminal activities from illegal fishing to hijacking, piracy, terrorism and oil theft. Only the coordinated collaboration between coalition navies, private security companies, the maritime industry and government can maintain good order at sea. The need to work within the framework of UNCLOS as well as national legislation – creates added challenges for dealing with a surge at sea that answers to none of these requirements. Given Africa’s assets and location, it is not surprising that the continent’s maritime security issues are of consequence to the international maritime community. At a conference to discuss West Africa’s maritime threats, Patricia Davies of European External Action Services (EEAS) discussed the EU’s action plan for the Gulf of Guinea (GoG) over the

Maritime security and surveillance: p.16 – 24

I have come to realise over the last month that insurance is an absolutely vital necessity. It used to be one of those grudge payments, but my recent experience shows that negligence, criminal elements, wear and tear as well as human error all have a role to play in sneaking up and derailing our day-today routines.

o perhaps our feature on marine insurance is well timed for this issue. A contribution from Marsh clearly outlines the need to fully understand what we require from our policies. A clear picture of what is covered and what is not is crucial before calamity strikes. Interestingly, however, international reports suggest that claims are down on previous years (when measuring 2014 against its predecessors) and the International Union of Marine Insurance’s (IUMI) statistics confirm a reduction of losses in the shipping sectors. More interesting is the reported increase in the percentage of the frequency of heavy weather and grounding related total losses. On a rather different note, but in an attempt to mitigate major losses by Ghana, the Special Chamber of the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) did not rule in favour of Côte d’Ivoire and order the complete halt of existing offshore exploration and drilling in a disputed marine area between the two countries. Instead the Chamber ordered that no new drilling take place, but acknowledged that to halt or remove current operations would place an unfair burden on Ghana. The maritime domain remains an important strategic, economic and challenging area for many African countries. Much of the continent’s wealth can be capitalised by claiming soveriengty of the extended continental shelf – but the responsibility to police and govern this domain is questionable in many regions. The lack of naval capability has lead to

overfishing, illegal fishing, piracy, hijacking, smuggling and oil theft. Maritime security and surveillance will continue to be a headache for Africa for some time and security experts suggest that private security companies offer an opportunity for the continent to plug gaps. Dirk Siebels, Associate Analyst, Risk Intelligence believes that Africa and African governments need to be open to exploring the opportunities that exist to use Private Maritime Security Companies’ (PMSC) expertise in fields ranging from training to logistics. In a conversation I had with a stalwart of the industry, I was not that surprised to learn anecdotally that some collusion still exists between criminal elements and the enforcers. In some cases there is outright bribery taking place – while in other cases patrol crews are intimidated to believe that the lives of their families may be in danger if they do not supply patrol information. In the light of these allegations, it is satisfying to see some news headlines that detail arrests of marine poachers whether at sea or on land in South Africa recently. Our feature on Maritime Security explores some of the themes dominating discussions in the African domain, but real collaboration seems key to the successful eradication of criminal activities at sea. Inter and intra governmental cooperation coupled with private sector involvement will mean more eyes at sea. So until the next issue – stay safe, collaborate and prosper.  Colleen Jacka, editor

KEEL HAULED

APPLAUD

The maritime community will surely understand the concept of being keelhauled and we have reinstated the practice, which was allegedly instituted by the British Navy as a way of “severely rebuking a subordinate”. But at the same time we will also applaud those individuals and companies in recognition of significant achievements.

Applaud

The Lawhill Maritime Centre celebrates their 20th anniversary this year and should be applauded for their huge contributions, under Brian Ingpen, to the development of new talent for the maritime industry.

Keelhauled

When news surfaced that the South African Navy had accidentally fired on unsuspecting fishermen during a naval exercise, the maritime community should rightly have been angered. For this reason we choose to keelhaul the SA Navy in this issue.

“The classical approach is to get rid of people, but this is a problem when the price (of oil) goes back up. It is important to keep people and skills in place,” says Independent African Oil and Gas consultant, Dave Wright.

08 “If we (South Africa) don’t jack ourselves up for what is happening in the region, we are going to lose out. Saldanha Bay is taking far too long,” says Paul Runge of Africa Access Project. 09 “There is space for the small-scale and the linefish sector to co-exist, but I have some serious concerns. You cannot use a declining resource to alleviate poverty,” says Wally Croome, chairman of the South African Commercial Linefish Association. 10

“Does the fisheries department understand what the current transformation profile of the fishery is? What is the definition and elements of “transformation”? To what extent have right holders and shareholders invested in the fishery since 2005? Has the fishery successfully created jobs since 2005? And what of the economic and biological sustainability of the fishery? Has the fishery been supported to an extent where horse mackerel is increasingly landed and processed in South Africa,” asks Shaheen Moolla.

“BRICS represents a rising block of potentially powerful states that harbours a large, but weakly debated maritime landscape. BRICS is also a rising maritime actor bound to influence or change the rules of the sea to better suit its politico-economic agenda as actualised maritime influence strengthens both political and economic power,” writes Francois Vrey.

“Any private security personnel entering Nigerian waters, whether armed or unarmed, are at risk because of the vagrancies of their authorities,” says Mike Mapson, Operations Manager at 30 South Maritime.

20 “What was particularly heartening about the decision was to note the independence of the Mozambique Court and its willingness to give a judgement in favour a foreign entity against a partially State-owned local entity. More importantly, this judgment may have some other implications for MPDC given the recent spate of groundings at both the berth and in the channel of various vessels,” says Andrew Pike of Bowman Gilfillan. 31 “We have committed to ensuring that each tug has a minimum of 60 percent locally manufactured components, while partnering with international companies on the remaining

aspects that cannot be manufactured here, for example the engines and propulsion units,” says Prasheen Maharaj, CEO of SA Shipyards.

34 “I am pleased that the port has contributed towards job-creation in the area of the Eastern Cape. To date, more than 825 permanent jobs have been created since the operationalisation of the port in October 2009,” says Minister Lynne Brown. 35

“A closer location to logistics activities and the Port of Ngqura will help reduce container movements and intermodal costs, which is particularly beneficial for a metropolitan area such as Nelson Mandela Bay where maritime rail terminals are in high density and in a congested area,’’ says Mervyn Padayachee, MSC Logistics Director.

“Subtech is very excited and proud to be part of the James Fisher Group. With our close synergies to many of Fisher’s current services and group companies, as well as our geographic footprint, we look forward to enhancing our current market offering and to being an ideal shop front for the Group’s services into Southern Africa,” says Greg Raaff, CEO of Subtech.

“A new stronger focus on project management will ensure that we are aligned with the requirements of our clients, the drilling contractors, and, importantly, to ensure that we are aligned with a changing market,” says Colin Schreuder, Marketing Manager for DCD Marine Cape Town.

54 “Litter free beaches are such an easy fix and yet little or no progress has been made,” says Ted Knott, Coastal Coordinator for the City of Cape Town. 56

“Obviously cleaning up 14 beaches on a month-to-month basis is super rewarding knowing that after our clean-ups the beaches are usually free of around one ton of rubbish. This is rubbish that would have ended up in the ocean, in the stomachs of sea animals or wrapped around boats, ships, yacht propellers or keels,” says Gregory Player of Clean C.

Accessing Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stranded resources

Accessing Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stranded resources Infrastructure and energy projects continue to drive Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breakbulk shipping sector, but the oil price will have an impact in the short term. Africa benefited from easy US dollar investment during the oil price super cycle that saw oil trading around the $100 a barrel level. Times have changed and Thalma Corbett of NKC highlights that the current status of the oil price will continue to impact on external investment into Africa.

peaking at the Breakbulk Africa Conference earlier this year, Corbett emphasised the risks facing African economies from a diminishing demand for African oil to a slower growth in China. Factoring in domestic risks such as fiscal mismanagement, rising external debt as well as security and terrorism threats â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she nevertheless spoke about the shifting markets and Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued appetite for investing in Africa. Chinese investment into energy proj-

ects has increased from $3bn in 2006 to $14.5bn in 2013. Uganda, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Tanzania have seen the largest portion of these investments. Sub Saharan Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transport sector has also benefited from Chinese funding â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with the sector representing just over 20 percent of Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total external investment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have what the world wants, but the stuff is in remote sites,â&#x20AC;? says Paul Runge, Managing Director of Africa Access Project as he juxtaposed Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stranded resources against an appetite for project investment, financing and training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about access and logistics,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The oil and gas scenario A panel discussion on the impact of the oil and gas markets on Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breakbulk and project market highlighted the need for service providers to wake up to the need for price consciousness as well as local content development.

Multipurpose and Heavy lift fleet update

peaking at the Breakbulk Africa conference, Susan Oatway, Senior Analyst at Drewry Shipping Consultants, provided some input on the current and future outlook for the multipurpose and heavy lift transportation market. According to the graphs presented at the conference, Oatway outlined how deliveries for multipurpose vessels had slowly declined after hitting a peak in 2011, with 2014 showing the lowest delivery rate in almost a decade. Despite a high delivery rate of project carriers to the sector, Oatway described a slump in project cargo linked to the diminished oil price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the oil price improves, we will see a return to project cargo,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Outlining the trends in newbuild activity for the multipurpose fleet, Oatway confirmed that 47 percent of vessels on order as of the beginning of 2015 would have heave lift capability and that the project carriers represented an average of 63 percent of newbuilds over the last five years. Coupled to this is the decline of the simple multipurpose fleet.

Highlighting some of the trends and challenges she pointed to:

A steady development in the fleet of project carriers New investment in eco designs and built to high specifications Continued encroachment of competing sectors that is unlikely to dissipate Development driven by growth in developing economies 06

Maritime Review Africa MARCH / APRIL 2015

Independent African Oil and Gas consultant, Dave Wright emphasised the need to maintain the market. He stressed the importance of innovation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to do things differently and smarter,â&#x20AC;? he said adding that while the oil price was governed globally, the gas price was independent and regional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The classical approach is to get rid of people, but this is a problem when the price (of oil) goes back up. It is important to keep people and skills in place,â&#x20AC;? he warned. Working on the coalface of the sector as a service provider across the board, Howie Frylinck, Trade Lane Manager Angola, GAC Laser International Logistics, reported on his customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; demands to cut costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to be innovative about where we can cut costs,â&#x20AC;? he said. With a view to meeting the local content requirements in many African countries, Pascal Ochquee, Regional Logistics Manager for ESSA, Halliburton pointed out that this oft-lamented challenge could actually be seen as an opportunity to reduce costs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially those associated with the hiring of expats on projects. Speaking with some degree of caution, Runge rattled off a list of existing projects in Africa and admitted that he had never in the last 30 years of doing business on the continent seen such a flow of projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in new territory now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not only from a perspective of quantity, but quality as well,â&#x20AC;? he said admonishing the critics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While things take a long time and there is still some bureaucratic nonsense, there is forward momentum.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes the drop of resource prices has had an effect â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be a rocket scientist to figure that out, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obvious. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to impact on the breakbulk sector which is driven by the market,â&#x20AC;? he added as he highlighted some of the port development taking place in response to predetermined needs on the continent.

Port development As hosts for the Breakbulk Africa conference, South Africa could be caught napping while port development speeds up on the continent to provide access to resources. Runge emphasised the need for port and rail infrastructure to work together. He also stressed the importance of collaboration.

Accessing Africa’s stranded resources

IN DEPTH

“Yes the drop of resource prices has had an effect – you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure that out, it’s obvious. And it’s going to impact on the breakbulk sector which is driven by the market.” “We need to form powerful and strategic alliances,” he said citing the success of the Maputo Corridor as well as Grindrod’s investment in rail. He also pointed to the Namibian scenario where the decision to develop Walvis Bay will likely pay dividends. Warning that routing could move away from South African ports in the future without the right type of investment, he also pointed to proposed developments in Saldanha Bay to cater for the offshore oil and gas industry. “If we (South Africa) don’t jack ourselves up for what is happening in the region, we are going to lose out. Saldanha Bay is taking far too long,” he said adding that Richards Bay should not be overlooked for development to accommodate the oil and gas sectors. “Richards Bay is massive compared to some of the ports that are currently being developed for these purposes,” he says.

Social investment – a business imperative Linked intrinsically to the concept of local content, is the idea of social investment in Africa. Corporate Social Investment (CS) is a business imperative on the continent. The days of Africa’s wealth being stripped by foreign interests and only benefiting a handful of elites in the country are coming to an end as most countries implement policies that govern good corporate citizenship. The aim is to ensure that all benefit from the resources in the host country. Runge admits that it can be a bit of a balancing act for the country as they aim to improve the lives of their citizens without deterring investors. But, he adds that the ripple effect of many of the projects being undertaken in Africa means that there is a lot of oppor-

tunity for local content development as one considers the requirements associated with the project including accommodation, transport, food and much more. It’s clear that Africa still faces many of the same challenges that have long been lamented at conferences over the last decade. It is also clear that some countries seem quicker to awaken to the need to develop infrastructure and eliminate some of the red tap associated with unlocking projects. The oil price has certainly had its impact, but getting out of the starting blocks ahead of the rest of the continent will ultimately lead to the unlocking of economic growth for the African country that proves to be a seasoned sprinter. And, as one speaker pointed out, national interests will always win over regional aspirations. 

THROUGH THE FISH EYE LENS

A wide-angle perspective on commercial fishing

Small-scale is on our doorstep The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) has its best chance yet to establish a fair and practical system for developing and managing small-scale fisheries, but it has a number of formidable obstacles to overcome in the process, not the least of which is the fatigue and cynicism of small-scale fishers themselves. CLAIRE ATTWOOD PROVIDES A WIDE ANGLE PERSPECTIVE

Maritime Review Africa MARCH / APRIL 2015

arly in March, the Department published proposed regulations relating to small-scale fishing and asked for comments from stakeholders. The regulations represent the latest tranche of paperwork from DAFF as it moves towards meeting a 2007 ruling by the Equality Court that small-scale fishers should be accommodated within the framework of the Marine Living Resources Act.

Rejection

ty promises, there is an understandable amount of scepticism about the planned roll-out of the Policy for the Small Scale Fisheries Sector – as well as a great deal of fatigue. The director of Small Scale Fisheries Management at DAFF, Craig Smith, acknowledges the fatigue factor, but says that since mid-2014, the department has been laying the groundwork for the implementation of the policy and the publication of the draft regulations is an indication that government is serious about finally meeting the demands of small-scale fishers. “People on the ground are surprisingly positive, despite the false starts the Department has made,” he says, “our interactions with the fishers have been good.” Smith is a fisheries scientist by training and has a solid reputation as an administrator. He says his interactions in the fishing communities have persuaded him that the government’s former emphasis on allocating commercial rights had an unintended impact on thousands of coastal people who were unable to compete in the commercial environment and secure a place in the fishing industry. “We missed something,” he says candidly, “these fishing communities should be the heartbeat of the fishing industry.”

Most people with a stake in the local fishing industry will remember that the South African Artisanal Fishers Association and the non-governmental organisation, Masifundise, rejected the outcome of the long-term rights allocations of 2006. They argued that only a small number of “traditional” fishers were accommodated by the allocation, with the result that thousands of poor coastal people were excluded from participating in fishing, despite historic claims to fisheries resources. The Equality Court agreed, and at its behest government extended so-called “interim relief” rights that would provide fishers with a livelihood until such time as government could draft and approve a policy and accommodate the small-scale fishing sector within the ambit of the Marine Living Resources Act. Little did the fishers (or the fishing indusA developmental approach try) know that it would take government Smith says that in implementing the Policy five years to approve a policy and anothfor the Small Scale Fisheries Sector, DAFF er three to begin is taking a “developto implement it.

Shaheen Moolla discusses the fishing sector

Can the Fisheries Department allocate any fishing rights by 29 February 2016? During March 2015, the Fisheries Department presented its proposed timetable for the allocation of fishing rights in nine fishing sectors by 29 February 2016. Notably, no mention is made of attending to the forgotten abalone fishing rights allocation process of 2014 and precious little is again said about fixing the unlawful 2013 Fishing Rights Allocation Process (FRAP).

Maritime Review Africa MARCH / APRIL 2015

It was only last year that the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) endorsed the landmark Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries (SSF) in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication, the first negotiated instrument devoted entirely to small-scale fisheries. The document was developed by more than 4,000 people in 120 countries and is designed to support millions of small-scale fishers, particularly in developing countries, by promoting their human rights and safeguarding the sustainable use of the fishery resources they depend on for their livelihoods. According to FAO, small-scale fisheries supply around 50 percent of all global fish catches and provide a valuable source of animal protein for billions of people worldwide. The SSF guidelines recognise that, in spite of their importance, many small-scale fishing communities continue to be marginalised. As is the case in South Africa, small-scale fishers usually live in remote areas with limited access to markets, education and social services and they face a range of challenges, from unsafe working conditions to pollution, environmental degradation and climate change that threaten the resources they depend on for their livelihoods. FAO is developing a global assistance programme to help countries implement the guidelines and it would not be out of place for South Africa to apply for help from the world body. The task that lies for ahead the DAFF is mammoth: in implementing the Policy for the Small Scale Fisheries Sector, the department is required to turn the past 50 or 60 years of fisheries management on its head and institute a system that looks beyond the commercial exploitation of fisheries to the needs and aspirations of thousands of impoverished fishers who have waited and campaigned for a management system that acknowledges their traditional right of access to the sea, and allows them a means to make a living. 

100 Years of fisheries management Dave Japp and Claire Attwood collaborate to compare ideas and understanding of fisheries management from 100 years ago with contemporary knowledge. The series of articles is based on an almost complete set of Marine Biological Reports dating back to 1904 authored by South Africa’s first marine biologist, John Gilchrist and others, and purchased by Japp at an auction recently.

CASTING THE NET BACK

Would a fish by any other name taste as good? This article looks at fisheries nomenclature, specifically the origin of the names of some South African species, and is based on excerpts from an article by Romer Robinson published in the Marine Biological Report No 3 for the year ending 30th June 1916. Robinson writes: “The local name given by a fish may be given on the spur of the moment. It may have reference to some passing object or contemporary incident or, again, it may suggest some comparison which is only obvious to the mind of the namer. Under such circumstances the significance of a local name is soon lost and can only be guessed at by posterity. In other cases the names are borrowed from known fish more or less resembling the South African forms, or are derived from some peculiarity of habit, shape or colour, which is always apparent. Again, the names may denote the habitat of the fish. One of the species Robinson writes about is Sciaena aquila, which was known at the time as “Kabeljaauw”: “The … name comes from Holland, and is there the name of a cod. The early settlers at the Cape thought they saw a resemblance to their well-known home fish, and gave it the same name, although it is an entirely different family. Here we call it “Cape salmon” or “salmon” only - another instance of mistaken identity.” As Robinson points out, the kabeljaauw is “no more a salmon than it is a cod”. He goes on to say that the name “white sea bass” or “channel bass” would be more appropriate because it is less misleading than the name salmon which “is not justified either by the species, the appearance or the sporting qualities of the fish”. Today we know that “seabass” is also off the mark: the fish we know as kabeljou in Afrikaans and kob in English is part of the Sciaenidae (drums and croakers) family. There are nine species in the genus Argyrosomus: large fishes that can grow to over 2m in length and are commonly targeted as game fish.

The scientific name Sciaena aquila that is quoted by Robinson was also wrong, though to be fair to Robinson, the “Cape Salmon” he refers to might have been geelbek, a fish that is still known as Cape Salmon today. Geelbek and kob look quite similar and fall into the same family of Sciaenidae. Kob, or kabeljou was reclassified as Argyrosomus hololepidotus in 1977 (Smith’s Sea Fishes) and then, in the mid-1990s, taxonomists and fisheries scientists revealed that, Argyrosomus hololepidotus was not one, but four different species. Former Marine and Coastal Management fisheries scientist, Marc Griffiths and veteran taxonomist, Phil Heemstra (who works for the South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity) established that Argyrosomus hololepidotus is endemic to Madagascar and three different species of Argyrosomus occur off South Africa. These are Argyrosomus japonicas, commonly known as dusky kob or daga salmon; Argyrosomus inodorus known as silver kob; and Argyrosomus thorpei, the squaretail kob that occurs off KwaZulu-Natal.

Biological studies reveal more Biological studies revealed that they each have distinct growth rates and sizes at maturity. According to Bruce Mann, a senior scientist with the Oceanographic Research Institute (ORI), dusky kob reach maturity at a length of about 100 cm whereas silver kob and squaretail kob mature much more quickly, reaching breeding age at between 30 and 40cm. That’s why there are different size limits and catch restrictions for recreational fishers who catch kob, although these are applied according to the region in which the fish is caught, because it really is very difficult to distinguish between the three species. As an aside, it is the silver kob (Argyrosomus inodorus) that is caught in significant quantities by the inshore trawl fishery on the south coast, raising the ire of the linefishery which campaigned for years for better control of the trawl catch. In response to these concerns, the trawling industry has implemented a precauMaritime Review Africa MARCH / APRIL 2015

100 Years of fisheries management

tionary upper catch limit for silver kob (in 2014 this was 146 tonnes, which was not attained) and a “move-on” rule has also been introduced. It requires trawlers to move away from areas where they catch more than two percent by weight of silver kob in a single haul. Most of the silver kob catch is associated with fishing on grounds shallower than 100m. Another interesting fact about kob is that it is the dusky kob that is the focus of efforts to develop a viable marine finfish farming industry in South Africa, most notably in East London where the climate is right and the Eastern Cape government has provided assistance and incentives to the fledgeling industry.

A snoek is a snoek, or is it? Robinson hailed from KZN and much of his discussion in the Marine Biological Report of 1916 focuses on the difference in fish names between “Natal” and the “Cape Colony”. For example, he writes about one of South Africa’s best-known fish: the snoek, saying: “What is called snoek here (in KZN - ed) is quite a different species to the Cape snoek (Thyrsites alun). Our “snoek” is a small Cybium, and is really of the same tribe as the local “barracouta”. The name “snoek” is the Dutch name for the pike − a fresh-water fish, and the early Dutch settlers called the Cape fish “sea snoek” shortened later to simple “snoek”. We have no representatives of the family “Thyrsites” in the Natal waters. Our “snoek” is a heavier and more shapely fish than the Cape fish, and does not occur in large shoals.

Maritime Review Africa MARCH / APRIL 2015

Robinson’s heavier and more shapely fish is almost certainly Scomberomorus plurilineatus, a game fish popular with spear and linefishers in KZN, which is today known as queen mackerel in English and gespikkelde katonkel in Afrikaans. The fish is not a small Cybium, as Robinson contends, but a member of the mackerel or Scombridae family. Queen mackerels are found in subtropical waters of the western Indian Ocean, a very different environment to the snoek, which occurs in the cold waters of the Benguela Current, between Namibe in southern Angola and Mossel Bay in South Africa. Adding further confusion is the “Natal barracouta”, which Robinson names Cybium commersoni. We suspect this is, in fact, the king mackerel − KZN’s “couta” now scientifically known as Scomberomorus commerson. He also refers to barracouta as sea pike or Sphyraena jello, which is most, probably the pickhandle barracuda that he describes as “rapacious, fierce fellows, with jaws well armed with sharp teeth”. He’s right there, it’s not uncommon for these fish to attack spearfishermen. According to Robinson, “the name ‘barracouta’ seems to be common to nearly every tropical country and is applied to many different species of fishes.” In New Zealand, barracouta is the name for snoek (Thyrsites Atun) whereas “barracuda” is the ferocious fellow that Robinson refers to above. And it is the barracuda that occupies a peculiar place in popular culture: your pool cleaner may be called a “baracuda” and did you know that the infamous American politician, Sarah Palin, was nicknamed Sarah Barracuda?

Endemic linefish In the Marine Biological Report of 1916,

Robinson also writes about the names of some of South Africa’s endemic linefish species, many of which are currently not exploited owing to several catch moratoria that are imposed on the line fishery. For instance, the popular Scotsman (Dentex praeorbitalis in Smith’s Sea Fishes) was called “Scotchman” and “was so christened because it was a slippery customer and a hard fighter”. The “Englishman” (Chrysoblephus anglicus in Smith’s Sea Fishes) had the Latin name Chrysophrys and by all accounts was so-named “after John Bull, being of a bluff profile and a ruddy complexion”. Another endemic species, the so-called Dageraad, according to Robinson means “dawn” and is a “poetical name, and very likely it was when the East was all gold and crimson that the captor of the first specimen was struck by the fish’s gorgeous colouring and burning hues of the approaching day”. The origin of the name of South Africa’s national fish Galjoen (Dichistius capensis), is attributed by Robinson to Dr Gilchrist who says the fish may have derived its name from “its resemblance in shape to the high-built three-decker of the 15th century, called by Spanish and Dutch ‘Galjoen’ or ‘Galleon’. 

Cabinet continues to consider South African maritime policy Ongoing efforts by South Africa’s National Department of Transport (NDOT) culminated in February when they called a two-day conference to deliberate on national maritime transport policy to be presented to Cabinet.

ngoing efforts by South Africa’s National Department of Transport (NDOT) culminated in February when they called a two-day conference to deliberate on national maritime transport policy to be presented to Cabinet. Deliberations saw the convergence of maritime industry technocrats from academia, government, Transnet and business at a two-day workshop called at short notice. Nonetheless, the purpose of the workshop was to solicit inputs to the green paper of the National Maritime Transport Policy. This is a drive towards creating a policy that is tailored for South Africa and will promote the maritime industry’s growth and address inefficiencies. In his opening remarks, Sipho Dibakwane, acting chief director: Special Projects and Policy Analysis at the National Department of Transport said: “We as government need a practical, and evidence-based policy…. what is key is the transformation of this sector through short-term and long-term proposals.” Once the technical committee has incorporated inputs, and the draft policy has reached parliament it will be gazetted and opened for another round of consultation. Industry will likely want to see this lengthy process, which has been a stop-and-go affair, finalised and the policy put to work soon. This was the third stakeholder consultation since 2005. The delay is attributed to the new developments in government priorities, criticism from researchers and political principals, as well as competing interests in the ocean economy among other things. The process asked for delegates to evaluate and debate policy considerations contained in the Review Report on the South African Maritime Transport Policy Report. The report focused on the following areas: maritime governance; maritime safety;

maritime security; governance of maritime security; marine ecosystem; maritime trade; maritime supply chain efficiencies; maritime sector development; and maritime capacity and capability development. Notably, under maritime trade the cabotage regime and the national ships’ register were robustly debated. Although government maintains that cabotage is a mandatory consideration as a national transport system to curb congestion on roads, seemingly challenges abound. During the meeting Andrew Pike, head of Ports, Terminals and Logistics Corridors sector at Bowman Gilfillan, pointed out that until a study is initiated, it cannot be guaranteed that cabotage will work for South Africa. Pike says that regional cabotage is likely to be a more feasible option. He is currently conducting a study in this area.

Statistics report a

continued reduction

in total losses

he International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI) has released its Spring Statistics, which confirm reduction of losses in the shipping sectors. Hull losses show a general downward trend in total loss frequency for most vessel types. The frequency of total loss since 1997, as a percentage of the world fleet, continues to decrease and has more than halved by both the number of vessels and tonnage. However, an overall increase in percentage of the frequency of heavy weather and grounding related total losses is reported. PA casualties also reduced year-onyear during the period 2007-2014. Groundings are reported as being a significant cause of this type of casualty. The cost of salvage and wreck removal is also dramatically increasing - it is estimated that Superstorm Sandy is the sixth costliest event in global insurance history.

“As industry we are encouraged by the fact that private sector is being included in this process. I certainly believe there is room for greater engagement,” said Brenda Horne-Ferreira, Chief Executive of the Southern Africa Shippers Transport and Logistics Council (SASTALC).

Cargo theft, mysterious disappearance and the misappropriation of cargo is also growing in severity.

Horne-Ferreira says her concern is whether there has been sufficient financial modelling and research done on both the economic and socio-economic impacts, to drive interventions like cabotage and flagging. She emphasised that everything has to be driven by economic and socio-economic viability such that our supply chains remain globally competitive.

The energy industry continues to provide profitable results for insurers. The worldwide mobile fleet continues to grow. Although the Gulf of Mexico is showing neutral growth, the rest of the world fleet has increased significantly. For the first time in recent years utilisation rates are down worldwide, with the exception of drillships. Day rates continue to increase in most areas with only a few reductions reported.

“We just need to be certain that we don’t legislate something that may be detrimental to the industry and our global competitiveness in the future”, added Horne-Ferreira.  By Sbo Msane

The delay is attributed to the new developments in government priorities, criticism from researchers and political principals, as well as competing interests in the ocean economy among other things.

In general, exposures and risks are growing in size and complexity and these will require stable solutions in the future.

Following significant losses experienced in 2013, control of well figures normalised in 2014. Average control of well cost was approximately $14m in 2014 compared with $20m in 2013. The oil price reduction is expected to lead to less drilling this year. 

Lament of the mortgagee: ranking of claims in Admiralty Law in South Africa Mortgages registered over immovable property give a mortgagee priority over claims of third parties in the event of the foreclosure of the principal debt or loan obligation for which the mortgage serves as security. By Alan Goldberg

nsofar as mortgages registered against ships are concerned, the question arises in an admiralty foreclosure, what priority is accorded to a bank that has advanced monies to the owner of ship against the security of a mortgage bond registered over the ship? Put differently, how secure is the security afforded to a lender that has registered a mortgage bond over a ship (irrespective of the flag state of the ship where the mortgage is registered)?

of payment of claims under the Admiralty Jurisdiction Regulation Act (AJRA), a mortgagee’s claim against the proceeds of the sale of an arrested ship (known as an admiralty fund) ranks low down in the pecking order of claims.

The answer to this question is “some security, but not the best security.”

Significantly an extensive category of claims take ahead of a mortgagee and these claims can loosely be called “one

Claims that fall due for payment prior to that of a mortgagee include the costs and expenses of procuring the sale of the ship pending her sale as authorised by the High Court.

Resolving a contamination claim in West Africa

ennis de Bruin, Marine Director at BMT Surveys, describes what a surveyor can do to turn an apparent total loss of high quality fuel into the acceptance of a sound product. Last year, BMT Surveys’ tanker department was requested by an oil trader to assist with an apparent insurmountable problem involving a high spec oil product cargo that was significantly contaminated. At the time, the parties involved in the shipment were faced with the possibility of a total loss of cargo, but BMT was tasked to find alternative solutions. The cargo, worth $3 million, was a high quality fuel that had already been loaded on a tanker. The ship had been chartered to load at a West African port and to be discharged at another West African port. After loading had been completed, the master was advised that the analysis of the cargo showed high amounts of a metallic type contaminant, resulting in the cargo being considered ‘off spec’. Following this discovery, the receivers refused to accept the cargo and the ship remained at the load port whilst all parties debated how to resolve the situation.

A plan was devised using a modified filtration unit to fit in-line at the ship’s discharge manifold in order to remove the contaminants. The unit and technician,were dispatched to the load port and, once on board, a “test quantity” of cargo was recirculated through the filtration unit with the receiver’s representatives attending. A sample of the recirculated cargo was analysed and found to be within specification. After lengthy discussions, the receivers agreed that the filtration unit could be used at the discharge port. Subject to successful cargo sample analysis, the cargo would be accepted by the receivers. The technician and the filtration unit sailed with the ship to the port where the ship discharged the contaminated cargo through the filtration unit, thus removing all the contaminants. After final sampling and testing, the receivers eventually accepted the cargo without any further claim. Interestingly, the filtration unit was so successful that the terminal bought one for permanent availability.

year” claims. Within the “one-year” claims there are sub-categories of claims which rank between themselves and of course prior to the claim of a mortgagee. The “one-year” claimants include claims for crew wages, necessaries, port dues, salvage, marine insurance premiums and P&I calls. Provided these claims arise “not earlier than one year from the commencement of proceedings to enforce them” (typically the arrest of the ship concerned) or “before the submission of proof thereof” (the creditor filing a claim against an admiralty fund), then these creditors will be paid their claims prior to the claims of the mortgagee.

Depleting the fund Quite often, the preference afforded to “one-year” claims has the effect of substantially depleting the admiralty fund, which adversely affects the recovery of the debt secured by the mortgage registered over the ship. So, the forced sale of an arrested ship in South Africa under the AJRA often is cold comfort to a mortgagee. By way of contrast, “one year” claimants whose claims in ordinary civil law would be unsecured, now are elevated to the status of being secured and ranked ahead of those of a mortgagee under the AJRA. South Africa with its extensive and novel jurisdiction under the AJRA (such as the associated ship provisions) is not shipowner friendly. The same can be said regarding claims of a mortgage holder against an admiralty fund created consequent to the sale of an arrested ship: Not great security, not bad security and sometimes no security at all.  Alan Goldberg is a maritime attorney of Rose Street Chambers in Cape Town

In terms of the ranking or order of priority of payment of claims under the Admiralty Jurisdiction Regulation Act (AJRA), a mortgagee’s claim against the proceeds of the sale of an arrested ship (known as an admiralty fund) ranks low down in the pecking order of claims.

The maritime boundary dispute between Ghana and CĂ´te dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ivoire moved forward during April when the Special Chamber of the the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) in Hamburg ruled that Ghana take all necessary steps to ensure that no new drilling either by Ghana or under its control takes place in the disputed area.

he ruling comes after the Government of CĂ´te dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ivoire applied for provisional measures to be ordered in Ghanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maritime boundary dispute. The provisional measures application included a request that ITLOS orders Ghana to suspend ongoing exploration and exploitation operations in the disputed area until ITLOS gives its full verdict, which is expected towards the end of 2017. This arbitration was commenced

by Ghana in 2014 in an effort to resolve a dispute with regard to the maritime boundary between Ghana and CĂ´te dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ivoire. The Chamber found that the exploration and exploitation activities, as planned by Ghana, may cause irreparable prejudice to the sovereign and exclusive rights invoked by CĂ´te dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ivoire in the continental shelf and superjacent waters of the disputed area, before a decision on the merits is given by the Special Chamber, and that the risk of such prejudice is imminent. They, however, ruled that an order to suspend ongoing activities by Ghana in respect to drilling which has already taken place would: â&#x20AC;&#x153;entail the risk of considerable financial loss to Ghana and its concessionaires and could also pose a serious danger to the marine environment resulting, in particular, from the deterioration of equipment.â&#x20AC;?

Port Authority found liable for delays and damage in Maputo grounding case In a case where charterers claimed damages from the Maputo Port Development Corporation (MPDC) for additional costs due to delays and underwater inspections, the judge found that the port authority had made a misrepresentation about the berth depth and therefore had brought about the losses suffered by the charterers.

he MV Dubai Sun touched the bottom of Berth 15 at the port of Maputo, Mozambique during loading of a cargo of chrome. As a result, loading was delayed; the vessel had to leave the berth, move

outside the port and could not return until about a week later when additional fenders were placed on the quayside to push the vessel out into deeper water.   Represented by Bowman Gilfillan, the

Marine insurance and risk management

he vast majority of the activities that take place in a port require suitable Marine Insurance – be it insurance of the cargo being imported or exported, be it cold stores and the contents therein, be it the vessel itself (for both Hull and Liabilities) or be it the ship repairers who require specialist marine liability insurance. The port itself requires numerous forms of insurance from Assets cover for the buildings, to hull and liability cover for tugs they operate, to general liability for their activities, both land-based and at sea. Very often, the need for adequate Marine Insurance is overlooked – sometimes knowingly, but also quite often through a lack of adequate appreciation for the risk exposures themselves. Many companies will have what they believe to be adequate Marine Insurance in place only to find out in the event of a loss that this is unfortunately not the case. It is for this reason that the advice of a professional Marine Insurance Broker and/or Risk Advisor should be sought. Whether there is a need for appropriate Marine Insurance, should start with a thorough client needs’ analysis that will hopefully identify the various exposures that they may face in terms of their particular operations. A ship repairer’s primary form of cover, for instance, would be Ship Repairers Liability to cover them against the risk of incurring a liability arising out of their negligence in some shape or form. Ship Repairers Liability (SRL) Insurance,

however, is liability-based and not first party “All Risks” cover. For an SRL policy to respond, the loss being claimed for would generally need to arise as a result of the negligence of the ship repairer in carrying out their work. Whilst SRL Insurance is rather specialised and requires a professional insurance broker’s advice, there are numerous other Insurance policies that would need to be considered in relation to an operation of this kind. These would include: Assets All Risks (to cover the buildings and plant); Motor Insurance; General Liability Insurance; Cargo Insurance (for parts, materials being imported); Fidelity Guarantee; Kidnap & Ransom (for employees travelling to high risk parts of the world); Group Personal Accident (for injury to employees) etc. Other less obvious risks that may require Insurance could be Environmental Exposures, Cyber Liability, etc. Whilst Marsh is a composite broking house and risk advisor, they do have specialist marine teams situated in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg, with the majority of Marine Hull, Professional Indemnity and Ship Repairers Liability risks being handled out of the Cape Town office. Marsh Cape Town is also heavily involved in providing broking services (both Marine and Non-Marine) to the Fishing Industry. This client base ranges from major corporates through to SMME operations as well as singleton owners.

charterers of the vessel claimed damages from the port authority arising out of the additional charter hire which had to be paid to the owners of the vessel during the delay period together with all of the port and underwater inspection costs incurred. According to Andrew Pike of Bowman Gilfillan, the basis of the claim against MPDC was that they had made a negligent and false representation about the berth depth by publishing a particular water depth in the berth and confirming that it was safe for the vessel to load at the berth to the draft advised to MPDC by the vessel’s agents.   “As it transpired, the water depth was significantly less than that published by MPDC and the vessel was unable to load safely, touching the bottom of the berth before completion of loading and taking a two degree list.  The Charterers successfully sued MPDC in the Maputo high court,” he said. The Judge found that MPDC was responsible in terms of its concession agreement for the dredging of the berths and maintenance of their depths, even though dredging was sub-contracted to a third party. By making the misrepresentation about the berth depth at a time when it was responsible for maintaining the berth depths, it brought about the losses suffered by the charterers as they relied on the misrepresentation to their detriment.   “What was particularly heartening about the decision was to note the independence of the Mozambique Court and its willingness to give a judgement in favour a foreign entity against a partially State-owned local entity. More importantly, this judgment may have some other implications for MPDC given the recent spate of groundings at both the berth and in the channel of various vessels,” says Pike. 

Understanding legal obligations of dealing with stowaways

towaways frequently appear or are discovered by the crew two or three days after the ship has left port. The vessel’s flag state, according to the amended Convention, requires the shipowner to ensure that the health, welfare and safety of the stowaways is properly maintained. The stowaway is entitled to food, lodging and proper medical as well as sanitary facilities. Stowaways should not be put to work. In a well-publicised case some years ago a Master and Chief Officer were both given

life sentences by a French court for murdering eight African stowaways. Other members of the crew were jailed for up to 20 years. The stowaways had been discovered during a voyage from Africa to Europe and secured in a store room before being murdered by the crew. The incident came to light because one stowaway managed to escape and survived by hiding on board until the ship arrived in port. Stowaways without travel documents will not be allowed to disembark in most jurisdictions. The exception to this rule is those seeking political asylum and those in need of medical attention. The foreign embassies play an essential role in identifying and issuing temporary emergency travel documents in order for the stowaway to be escorted to the country of his birth. Governments need to facilitate the dis-

embarkation and repatriation, and their understanding and cooperation is crucial when disembarking and repatriating a stowaway. Several incidents involving stowaways, asylum seekers and refugees prompted the IMO in November 2001 to adopt a resolution on the review of safety measures and procedures for the treatment of persons rescued at sea, including stowaways discovered on board. The aim is to ensure that the well-being of persons on board ships is safeguarded at all times, pending their delivery to a safe port. This issue of stowaways in African ports is a serious one. The occurance of stowaways onboard ships has negative repercussions for the health and safety of the crew – and ports need to strengthen surveillance and access control to reduce the incidence of stowaways. Shipowners and Masters face the problem of identifying the presence of stowaways before a ship leaves port or preventing their boarding the vessel in the first place. Most stowaways, however, are only discovered once a vessel has sailed. Dealing with an incident involves the Master and owner engaging in time-consuming negotiations with the P&I Club, agents and authorities. The cost alone from disruptions to the ships schedule can be considerable.

It’s full steam ahead for tug build project in Durban Transnet National Port’s Authority’s R1.4 billion contract to produce nine powerful tugboats is progressing on time and within budget at the Southern African Shipyards premises in Durban. “This is a milestone project that reinforces the capacity and skill of South Africa and indeed Durban when it comes to competing in the global shipbuilding industry,” said TNPA programme manager Eugene Rappetti, Senior Manager for Marine Operations. “Despite the challenges of energy disruptions, the project team is forging ahead and has made impressive progress, with around 11 percent of the fabrication and construction on the project completed thus far,” he said. The new fleet of nine high quality tugs will replace ageing tugboats at the Ports of Durban, Port Elizabeth, Richards Bay and Saldanha Bay. Rappetti said TNPA had 29 tugs presently in service nationally, but the requirement for bigger, strong tugboat fleets had increased in line with bigger commercial vessels calling at South African ports more frequently. “The increased bollard pull of these new generation tugs meets international standards and they also feature the latest

global technology. The tugs have Voith Scheider propulsion which makes them highly manoeuvrable and able to change the direction and thrust almost instantaneously while guiding large vessels safely into our ports,” he said.

Tight deadlines Given the project’s tight deadlines five tugs will be under construction simultaneously at any given time. Rappetti said the first tug was already about 35 percent completed and its hull and superstructure were 70 percent completed. The first tug is expected to be handed over in January 2016 to the Port of Port Elizabeth, followed by handovers every three months until the last one is launched in early 2018. Subcontractors on the project include well-known multi-nationals such as Barloworld Equipment, Siemens, Voith Schneider, as well as local contractors such as Bradgary Marine Shopfitters. Southern African Shipyards CEO Prasheen Maharaj said his company had created 500 direct and 3500 indirect jobs through the project. “This is a real demonstration of how the maritime economy can be used to unlock the economic potential of South Africa, in line with the intention of government through Operation Phakisa.

Rebuilding Somalia’s maritime sector

three-day Stakeholders Forum to review draft guidelines for the establishment of a Somalia Maritime Administration, coordinated and funded by IMO, was hosted by the Kenya Maritime Authority during April. The aim was to develop a framework for establishing a Somalia Maritime Administration to provide governance and oversight within which to develop a sustainable maritime sector, to better reflect Somali’s commitments and obligations under international law, and to ensure the country is in compliance with international law and regulations. The decline of piracy off the coast of Somalia more than ever before presents a good opportunity to implement sustainable shore-based interventions to support reform of the Somali maritime sector in building a safe and secure maritime environment, thus opening up the maritime economy in the country and contributing to the prevention of a resurgence of piracy. Two ministers from the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) and other top officials from the FGS, Puntland and Galmudug, attended the workshop. Observers from the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the European regional capacity building mission EU-CAP NESTOR and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) were also in attendance. 

port and manufacturing, ship building and ship repair,” said Maharaj. He added: “We have committed to ensuring that each tug has a minimum of 60 percent locally manufactured components, while partnering with international companies on the remaining aspects that cannot be manufactured here, for example the engines and propulsion units.” He said the intention was to maximise local content and spread the benefits of the project to black suppliers, women- and youth-owned businesses. “Ultimately South Africa will achieve a socio-economic benefit of more than R800 million as a result of the Supplier Development Plan attached to the contract,” said Maharaj. In addition a number of national and international training and development opportunities are being created for local employees, with TNPA already set to send employees to Germany and Norway for training on the new propulsion units. They would also receive training locally for four to six weeks. Rappetti said TNPA also had a large training programme in place for engineering and deck cadets to ensure that the vessels had skilled people in place to operate them. TNPA’s new fleet will include one of the most powerful harbour tugs in the world at 42 meters long and 15 meters wide with a bollard pull of 100 tons. The other eight 31m tugs are marginally bigger than the existing tugs, but are far more powerful, with a 70-ton pull. The older tugs have 32.5 to 40 ton pulls. Two tugs will be allocated each to the Ports of Durban, Richards Bay and Port Elizabeth, while Saldanha, which handles the largest carriers and has had a history of vessel groundings, would receive three tugs. 

“This is a real demonstration of how the maritime economy can be used to unlock the economic potential of South Africa, in line with the intention of government through Operation Phakisa.

Cape Town shipbuilder continues to expand service and product porfolio

autic Africa has recently taken over the quayside facility management of the Hamlet Quay in Elliot Basin and acquired the Anchor Boat Shop, the largest Yamaha outboard engine distributor in South Africa and one of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading boat producers. A full range of quayside management services will include the provision of berth space, land rental space (for containers), security, refuse bin removal and electricity and water supply services. Nauticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to move into the quayside facility management was influenced by several factors. These include: The high demand for quay space during the commissioning and mobilisation phases of vessel manufacturing

The need to provide berthing space to the commercial marine sector when the quay is vacant, and

The need to reduce the costs incurred by the Nautic Group when using the quay to launch Nautic Group vessels for sea trials.

Regarded as the one-stop-boating-shop for all things marine-related, the Anchor Boat Shop holds the exclusive rights for Yamaha engine sales in Africa, has the largest boating workshop in South Africa and stocks accessories and items from the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading boating lifestyle brands.

Upgraded South Africa to West Africa schedule

International company snaps up South African marine service group

afmarineMPV has upgraded its SAFWAF multi-purpose shipping service, connecting South Africa and West Africa, from six-weekly to monthly sailings.

Core ports of call on the SAFWAF service are Walvis Bay, Durban, Cape Town, Sonils (Luanda), Matadi, Pointe Noire and Port Gentil. The service upgrade takes effect in early April 2015 with the Safmarine Longa Voyage SA 15002.

This figure is based on the company achieving profit targets in 2015 and 2017. There is also an additional profit share, above target levels, up to a maximum of R85 million (£4.7m) between 2015-2017.

According to SafmarineMPV SAFWAF Line Management, “This SAFWAF service enhancement is in response to increased interest from several of our loyal supporters. The increased deployment allows us to provide the trade with both higher frequency and regularity, as well as more extensive port coverage through inducement into the Central West Africa port range.” “The increased frequency and regularity will also benefit and serve the growing number of container customers using the services of SafmarineMPV to ship directly to niche ports.”

ames Fisher has acquired the entire share capital of Subtech Group Holdings (Pty) Ltd in an initial consideration of R61 million with a potential future consideration of up to R175 million.

Subtech is a South African based marine and sub-sea service provider with activities in Mozambique, Namibia, Angola and Tanzania. The company has built a strong reputation in marine construction projects, submarine pipeline installation and maintenance, specialised marine engineering projects, diving and salvage. They are also well positioned to take advantage of any future expansion of oil and gas activities in east and west Africa. Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) were £0.7million in the year ending December 31, 2013, with a similar

performance in 2014, subject to audit. Net assets being assumed in the transaction are £2.9 million and gross assets £5.7 million. Nick Henry, Chief Executive Officer of James Fisher, said: “The acquisition of Subtech broadens our presence in the growing markets around Africa. Subtech’s marine and subsea services are very complementary to our own. We are looking forward to working together with the Subtech team.” Greg Raaff, Chief Executive Officer of Subtech and his senior management team will continue with the company. “Subtech is very excited and proud to be part of the James Fisher Group. With our close synergies to many of Fisher’s current services and group companies, as well as our geographic footprint, we look forward to enhancing our current market offering and to being an ideal shop front for the Group’s services into Southern Africa,” said Raaff. 

Credit facility to fund capex offshore Ghana

etroSA Ghana, a subsidiary of PetroSA, South Africa’s National Oil Company has secured a seven year US$150 million reserve based lending credit facility, which will be used to refinance existing loans and to fund expansion capital expenditure in the Jubilee and TEN offshore fields. PetroSA bought a minority stake in the Ghana-based offshore fields in 2012. The credit facility agreement was successfully concluded during February 2015, in London. Absa Bank Limited, a member of Barclays, acted as co-ordinating mandated lead arranger, with Rand Merchant Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and Natixis acting as mandated lead arrangers. “We are very pleased to announce the closing of this transaction, in a difficult market, both with the uncertainty surrounding crude oil prices and the continuing difficulty in accessing global capital markets. We consider this as a strong message of support from our relationship with these banks and will contribute to our growth aspirations,” said Lindiwe Bakoro, PetroSA’s Group Chief Financial Officer. PetroSA Ghana generated revenue and profits of R963m and R491m, respectively. 

High-spec vessel destined for West Africa oil fields

he state-of-the-art, 80-metre Platform Supply Vessel (PSV), the Mamola Reliance, recently joined Swiss ship manager, Promar’s, fleet as the company seeks to expand its presence across West Africa’s offshore oil and gas sector. Built by Damen Shipyards, in Galati, Romania, the vessel was developed in line with North Sea standards. Promar Chief Operating Officer, Christophe Mansuy, said the high-spec PSV is amongst the bestequipped in the world and benefits from a package of special design features making it particularly attractive for deep water operations. “We believe the Mamola Reliance possesses world-class qualities which make it highly attractive to the global offshore market. It is the first PSV under Promar’s management and joins our broader fleet of Multi-Purpose Supply Vessels (MPSV's) and Fast Crew Boats (FCB's). It fits the familiar Promar mould having been designed and built to the highest standards expected by oil majors and subcontractors across the world. “In fact, we believe the Mamola Reliance’s design features and diversity will exceed market expectations and provide us with a sharp competitive edge. It is prepared for Remote Operated underwater Vehicle (ROV) use and further benefits from an oil-spill detection radar, and a tank-heating system. The vessel is also equipped with FiFi 1 capacity and it is further compliant with Special Purpose Ships (SPS) – meaning

it can safely carry additional personnel from port to offshore locations. “The incorporation of Class 2 Dynamic Positioning (DP2) also enables the vessel to operate in ultra-deep waters. All these technical characteristics unleash potential to market the vessel in wider geographical areas, for example Asia and Latin America. “The Reliance has been built for ultimate crew comfort and to ensure first-class sea-keeping ability. We understand the importance of staff welfare, the challenges posed by being onboard for long periods, and crew demands for safe and comfortable working environments. We have given special attention to ensure the bridge area, machinery spaces, living quarters, galley and mess rooms are built to provide a pleasurable working experience.” Damen will deliver the Mamola Reliance’s sister ship, the Mamola Defender, in August this year. Damen Shipyards North, West and South Europe sales manager Captain Andrea Trevisan said: “The delivery of the Damen PSV 3300 Mamola Reliance is a moment that has been anticipated by both Damen and Promar since we embarked upon this project. The vessel represents the onset of a new generation of pioneering high quality PSV's.” Promar was set up in 2002 with head offices in Geneva, bases in Congo, Angola, Gabon, as well as finance and chartering offices in UAE representatives in Romania and Madagascar. 

Adapting to the fragility of the oil and gas sectors Cat dealer Barloworld Power is adopting a global, regional and local focus to serve southern Africa’s developing oil and gas sector, the company told industry representatives at a customer seminar in Cape Town where leaders in the field addressed clients during March.

he global approach fits well with a significant ramp-up by Caterpillar in power systems R&D and products to serve the oil and gas sector in recent years. Today Barloworld Power offers the on-and offshore industry a full range of Cat engines running on diesel, crude oil, pipeline and field gas, as well as dynamic gas blending systems, together with transmissions, pumps and fluid ends, enclosures, parts bundle kits and hazard protection equipment. Addressing delegates at the symposium, PWC’s advisory leader Chris Bredenhann highlighted that the last top ten global oil discoveries by size, six of the discoveries have been around Africa with some of the largest discoveries of the last decade being made in East Africa. Whilst these discoveries remain positive for the continent, the significant drop in the world oil price has exposed the fragility of many African economies that are heavily reliant on the oil and gas industries. This was one of the findings of the 2014 annual review of Africa’s oil and gas industry undertaken by PwC. Bredenhann suggested that decision-making regarding capital expenditure on exploration should not be unduly influenced by short-term prices. “This is the right time now for oil and gas exploration companies operating on the African continent to carefully consider their capex expenditure and to have a relook at budgets,” said Bredenhann. Africa is at present a major player in the industry and has seven to eight percent of the world’s oil reserves and about eight percent of the gas reserves. Africa produces about 10 percent of the world’s crude oil production, but export crude is not benefactored. Interestingly, to date about 15,000 wells have been drilled off the African west coast, but only about 500 off the East African seaboard. Highlighting challenges at the Mossgas facility, including inavailability of feedstock, Bredenham nevertheless suggested that although South Africa has the potential to become a major player in shale gas, actual reserves have not yet been proven. However, with the price of crude below $50, an oversupply in the United States

Maritime Review Africa MARCH / APRIL 2015

and world supplies at their highest in 80 years, Bredenhann highlighted the existing and numerous challenges that confront the African oil and gas industries. These include poor infrastructure, lack of skills, an uncertain regulatory and taxation environment, access to capital funding as well as issues of corruption. Bredenhann expects that oilfield service companies will be under pressure to drop their prices and that there would be delayed development in the frontier areas around the world as the more technically difficult projects requiring more capital input are delayed. “Idle rigs and cancelled projects are potentially possible,” warned Bredenhann. But these times would be appropriate said Bredenhann for organisations to undertake a “stress test” incorporating strategic, financial, operational and commercial elements. This could obviate the common knee-jerk reaction to low commodity prices and could be extremely effective in understanding what specific costs are, how they compare to other industry players to be a realistic reflection of what reductions are possible. “Cost reduction programmes need to be targeted and realistic.” He also suggested that this could be the time that governments put regulatory, legislative and fiscal policies in place in order to be seen as attractive regimes when the price does recover. But Bredenhann says the key to surviving the current low price is to learn how to adapt quickly and to plan for the upturn that will follow.

Saldanha Bay IDZ Addressing delegates at a Barloworld Power client seminar, Saldanha Bay Licensing Company business development executive Laura Peinke delivered an update on the Saldanha Bay Industrial Development Zone (SBIDZ). The 330 ha site has been designated as an oil and gas industry services complex offering a “full house” service and targeting primarily the business opportunities arising from the west and east African oil and gas industries. It will also take advantage of its position to attract the rigs that annually round the Cape en-route to yards in the Middle East or Asia.

A hoped-for trump card in the marketing of the port will be in its promotion as a ‘free port’ within the SBIDZ which brings with it significant tax and customs advantages. Peinke was bullish on prospects for the port and cited President Zuma’s launch of Operation Phakisa as an added catalyst for the development of the maritime sector. The SBIDZ licensing company has been given a three-year budget by government to create an “enabling environment” and attract potential investors through incentives that will specifically suit the needs of the oil and gas industry.

Investing in an African footprint Barloworld Power has facilities and technical teams focused on the marine and oil and gas sector in Walvis Bay, Namibia; Vredenburg, Cape Town and Durban in South Africa; Maputo, Beira and Pemba in Mozambique; and Luanda, Lobito and Soyo in Angola. All these facilities have the backing of the Johannesburg-based Barloworld Reman Centre to rebuild Cat engines up to 3, 500 series and Technical Academy, which trains more than 60 apprentices specifically for Cat Power applications every year. The relatively recent opening of the Vredenburg, Soyo and Pemba facilities is a clear indication of Barloworld’s intent to lead in the sector. Barloworld Global Power was formed to help grow Barloworld’s power systems business across its Cat dealership territories in southern Africa, Iberia and Russia. Based in Spain, the Global Power organisation offers specialised services and highly mobile technical skills, inter-territory coordination and strategic direction to all the dealership territories. Barloworld technicians from Spain, Angola and South Africa have worked together to provide solutions for several recent projects in Angola for global companies such as Pluspetrol, Seadrill and Transocean. Every Caterpillar engine has built-in condition monitoring capability and Barloworld Power provides the training and skills to unlock that capability, ensuring that engines are repaired before they fail. Condition monitoring is essential with oil and gas assets both increasingly complex and widely dispersed. Remote monitoring and analysis by Caterpillar and its dealers enables intelligent and, importantly, prompt decisions and interventions. The availability of parts to serve the oil and gas segment in southern Africa has grown exponentially and Barloworld’s branches throughout southern Africa offer 24/7 parts service, connected to Caterpillar’s global parts network through its parts distribution centre in Johannesburg.  By Steve Saunders

E&P Exploration and production updates 1. Ntem Concession, Cameroon Murphy Cameroon Ntem Oil Co, Ltd will transfer its 50 percent interest in, and operatorship of, the Ntem Concession, offshore Cameroon to Sterling Energy Plc’s subsidiary, Sterling Cameroon Limited Completion of the transaction remains subject to Cameroon Ministerial approval. Following completion, the Ntem Concession will be held 100 percent by Sterling Cameroon Limited (Operator). The Ntem Concession is a large under-explored block, in water depth ranging from 400m to 2,000m, in the prospective southern Douala – Rio Muni Basin, offshore Cameroon.

2. Ambilobe and Ampasindava Blocks, Madagascar Ministerial and Presidential approval was granted in October 2014 to Sterling Energy Plc to extend the current phase of both the Ampasindava and Ambilobe PSCs to July 2016 The Ambilobe PSC, awarded in 2004, is in Phase Two of the exploration period with all minimum work commitments for the current phase completed. In December 2013, Sterling completed a farm-out agreement with Pura Vida Mauritius under which all costs associated with the acquisition of a discretionary 3D seismic programme, up to a maximum of US$15 million, are carried by Pura

Vida. Sterling and Pura Vida each hold a 50 percent interest in the Ambilobe Block with Sterling as operator. Sterling and Pura Vida continue with planning of the 3D seismic programme that commenced in March this year. The Ampasindava PSC was awarded in 2004 and is in Phase Three of the exploration period. Sterling holds a 30 percent non-operated working interest and it is operated by ExxonMobil Exploration and Production (Northern Madagascar) Limited (ExxonMobil), who hold a 70 percent working interest. Under the terms of the farm-in by ExxonMobil in 2005, Sterling’s share of exploration costs in this block is carried up to a fixed gross amount.

3. Mnazi Bay Concession, Tanzania With independent reserves attributed to the Wentworth’s Mnazi Bay gas fields for the first time, production in Tanzania is now imminent, as Wentworth has a gas sales agreement in place and the facilities required to produce these reserves are nearing completion. “We are very pleased that we now have reserves associated with our Mnazi Bay concession. This is a further step towards bringing our gas on stream and follows on the heels of the signing of our gas sales agreement (GSA) last year, and the ongoing implementation of the field infrastructure,” says Geoff Bury, Managing Director.

4. Block B7, Gabon Impact Oil and Gas has completed the acquisition of 3D seismic data covering 2,300km2 on Block B7, one of its 100 percent owned blocks, lying in 200 to 1,800 metres of water off the coast of Gabon. Analysis and interpretation of the 3D seismic will lead to more accurate mapping of existing prospects and is expected to identify new targets within Block B7. Geotrace has been contracted to process the 3D seismic. Data processing has commenced and is expected to be completed in July 2015. This seismic survey represents the work programme for the initial term of the Block B7 exploration licence. The second, 3.5 licence term will commence in the first quarter of 2017 and will include a well commitment.

5. Cap Boujdour, Western Sahara The CB-1 exploration well located in the Cap Boujdour permit area off-

shore Western Sahara encountered hydrocarbons. Reports from Kosmos Energy declare that the well penetrated approximately 14 metres of net gas and condensate pay in clastic reservoirs over a gross hydrocarbon bearing interval of approximately 500 metres. The discovery is non-commercial, and the well will be plugged and abandoned. Andrew Inglis, chairman and chief executive officer, said: “While not a commercial find, this first well in the basin has significantly de-risked further exploration by demonstrating a working petroleum system, including the presence of a hydrocarbon charge, as well as effective trap and seal. Going forward, the key exploration challenge is finding reservoirs of commercial size and quality. We will analyse the information gathered from CB-1 and integrate it with the additional 3D seismic data we recently acquired to refine our exploration plan, including deciding on the location and timing of a potential second well. The Atwood Achiever drillship will now proceed to Mauritania as planned to test the Tortue Prospect.”

Capex in place for deepwater West Africa

Cape Town shipyard shifts focus to pursue offshore markets

espite the major impact of a lower oil price, Douglas-Westwood (DW) predicts a $81bn spend on FPS units between 2015 and 2019. DW’s recently released World Floating Production Market Forecast 2015-2019 highlights that, while a number of FPS projects have been put on hold, few have cancelled – indicating that operators are simply employing wait-and-see tactics on projects. It is important to note that over the next five-years, deepwater projects in the ‘golden triangle’ of Latin America, US Gulf of Mexico and West Africa, are expected to account for more than 60 percent of FPS expenditure. Deepwater West Africa, particularly offshore Angola and Nigeria, is a growing market despite the current downturn. While cuts in expenditure are being announced, IOCs are pressing ahead with key projects in both countries, all of which are expected onstream before 2018. Chevron, ExxonMobil and Eni all have major deepwater projects in Angola, collectively adding a peak capacity of approximately 1 million barrels per day. Total also has a number of FPS projects in development – examples include the Eastern Hub FPSO in Angola and the Egina FPSO in Nigeria. While Petrobras is currently embroiled in a corruption scandal, a number of the NOC’s FPS units were ordered prior to the oil price downturn therefore these projects are unlikely to be affected. However, future orders have some uncertainly due to the scandal. Overall, due to the growing importance of deepwater reserves, associated floating production activity is expected to increase despite the oil price downturn. As such, offshore West Africa will remain a key area for FPS deployments and oil and gas stakeholders’ interest in the region is well placed. Latin America will see nearly a third of the 110 installations forecast and 32 percent of the projected Capex. Asia accounts for nearly a quarter of forecast installations, but only 13 percent of spend. Africa is important in value terms, with 22 percent of the projected Capex. Western Europe is expected to form 15 percent of forecast spend. Deepwater expenditure will make up 68 percent of the global FPS market. 

stronger focus on project management and more opportunities for sub-contracting will steer DCD Marine Cape Town’s plans to engage and attract further offshore vessels and platforms for maintenance and repairs in South African ports. Speaking at a function held at A-Berth in the port of Cape Town recently, Colin Schreuder, Marketing Manager for DCD Marine Cape Town, highlighted the way forward for the company in a difficult market and working within the constraints of available port facilities. “While our sub-contractors have always been a key part of our service offering, we will utilise sub-contractor services increasingly to execute the work,” said Schreuder adding that project management and supervisory personnel would be key in ensuring all work was carried out to class. “A new stronger focus on project management will ensure that we are aligned with the requirements of our clients, the drilling contractors, and, importantly, to ensure that we are aligned with a changing market,” he said. Despite the continued importance of the A-Berth facilities, Schreuder emphasised the need for access to water depths of -25 m that would be able to accommodate the new generation rigs coming on line. He acknowledged the efforts of government through Operation Phakisa to align the Port of Saldanha Bay as a service hub for the offshore industry and highlighted the need for industry to support these initiatives. Outlining market trends, Schreuder revealed that the majority of the type of rig repair expected in the next five years is anticipated to see a focus on OEM

(original equipment manufacturers) and SPS (scheduled periodic surveys) requirements – and less likely to focus on steel, pipe, mechanical, blasting and coating type of repairs which have been the more traditional focus of the past. Thrusters, which have to be overhauled every five to seven years, represent a good opportunity for South African contractors, but challenges of insufficient water depths will require skilled planning before rig owners commit to scheduling these projects at South African ports. “We need a facility such as Saldanha Bay,” says Schreuder adding that currently initiatives to offer these services are being accommodated in Ngqura. “These new build rigs are expensive, costly assets and thus repairs will be heavily focused around HSE, quality, planning, costing and contract management, with a quick turn-around time,” he said. Crunching the numbers, Schreuder revealed that 38 rigs currently operating off Africa could be accommodated in South Africa. Seven of these can be berthed at A-Berth while the remaining 31 would only be able to be berthed in the deepwater port of Ngqura or Saldanha Bay. Facing competition mainly from the centrally located Las Palmas where the water depth is -25 m and weather favourable, Schreuder says that even with a 50 percent probability of attracting the work, the estimated number of direct jobs created and revenue generated makes this market worth pursuing. 

Nine countries collaborate to develop mining tool

eventeen organisations from nine countries are collaborating over a 42-month period to research and develop a new safe, clean and low visibility mining technique aimed at proving the environmental and economic viability of extracting currently unreachable mineral deposits. The estimated cost of the Project is 12.6 mlllion Euros.

The aim of the ¡VAMOS! (Viable Alternative Mine Operating System) project is to design and build a robotic, underwater mining prototype with associated launch and recovery equipment, which will be used to perform field tests at four EU minesites. Three of these are inland inactive submerged mineral deposits and the other is offshore. Building on successful deep-sea excavation techniques, this prototype will provide a safer and cleaner option for extracting currently unreachable and/or uneconomic mineral deposits. ¡VAMOS! will also look to enhance currently available underwater sensing, spatial awareness, navigational and positioning technology, as well as providing an intergrated solution for efficient real-time monitoring of the parameters associated with potential environmental impacts. Under the coordination of BMT Group Ltd and the Technical management of Soil Machine Dynamics Ltd, a consortium of 17 project partners from nine EU countries will collaborate, including: Soil Machine Dynamics Ltd; Damen Shipyards Group; Instituto de Engenharia Sistemas e Computadores; Fugro EMU Limited; Zentrum für Telematik e.V.; Montanuniversität Leoben; Minerália, Lda; Marine Minerals Ltd; Empresa de Desenvolvimento Mineiro SA; Sandvik Mining and Construction G.m.b.H; Geological survey of Slovenia; La Palma Research Centre for Future Studies; European Federation of Geologists; Trelleborg Ede Bv; Federalni zavod za Geologijo and Fondacija za obnovu I razvoj regije Vareš. 

Industry input sought on deep-sea investment

he European Marine Board (EMB) is conducting a survey of deep-sea stakeholders to get their input on priorities for investment into deep-sea research and commercial activities. The EMB Expert Working Group on “Deep Sea Research for Societal Challenges and Policy Needs” brought together an interdisciplinary group of experts to prepare a Position Paper. The paper outlines the gaps and priorities in deep-sea research needed to address actual scientific, socio-economic, and governance issues relating to the deep‐ sea and recommend priorities for future,

policy-relevant deep sea research. The Position Paper includes a section on investment in deep-sea research and commercial activities across Europe. To gather information, EMB has launched a consultation survey aimed at deep-sea stakeholders, researchers, funding organizations and industry. The resulting EMB Position Paper will be launched at the International Deep-Sea Biology Symposium 2015 on 1 September in Aveiro, Portugal. The recommendations will also be communicated to European and National policy makers and funding agencies. 

Port of London to unveil its new £7m vessel

he Port of London Authority’s (PLA) new 36-metre mooring maintenance vessel, London Titan, built at a cost of £7million, will be officially unveiled at the opening day of the Seawork International event in June. Built at Manor Marine, Portland Port, Dorset, London Titan is the PLA’s largest single investment in 20 years. As the UK’s second biggest port and busiest inland waterway, with a 95-mile jurisdiction, London Titan will play an important role in the PLA’s work, keeping the Thames in full operation for craft ranging from rowing boats, through to ultra-large container ships like Munkebo

Maersk and military vessels such as HMS Illustrious. PLA’s marine operations director, Peter Steen said, “Following her unveiling at Seawork, London Titan will start work on The Thames in the summer. The Thames is busy and getting busier, with the largest container ships now calling on the river, passenger trips reaching almost 10 million annually and inland waterways freight now at a steady five million tonnes a year. Titan’s additional capabilities are going to be essential. Her duties will include navigational and mooring buoy maintenance, salvage, diving support and, a new capability for us, plough dredging.” 

STELLAR CAREER FOR SEAMAN WITH A DEPTH OF EXPERIENCE

By Brian Ingpen

“They fumigated the ship in Durban,” recalled Captain Ian Harvey, “but when the purser opened a cupboard later, he got a whiff of cyanide, and died.” That was during Harvey’s time aboard Inchanga, one of the Bank Line ships that traded from West and South Africa to India and Burma via East Africa and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).

t’s a tragic story from Harvey’s remarkable recollections of a stellar career that began amid the post-war shipping boom when the British merchant fleet was regrouping and expanding after the terrible merchant shipping losses (2405 British ships lost) during World War II. To swell their officer complement, depleted by wartime tragedies, shipping lines campaigned widely for cadets to join extensive training programmes, some of which involved a dozen or more cadets sailing aboard specially-refitted training ships.

First experiences Many British companies targeted South African cadets from the frigate General Botha that had a reputation for producing hard-working, disciplined cadets. Ian Harvey emerged from that institution in December 1951. He boarded his first ship, Bank Line’s Inchanga, early the following year.

Maritime Review Africa MARCH / APRIL 2015

Inchanga often carried about 500 deck passengers on the passage between India and Colombo, mostly pilgrims, who would then embark on another ship for the voyage to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. They brought their own livestock on board, and, during the voyage, would slaughter goats, sheep or chickens according to Muslim rite. Six galleys prepared the food according to religious rules. At regular intervals, the ship’s carpenter would hose down the deck to restore cleanliness aboard. Among the wide variety of cargoes she carried on such a voyage were Malaysian fluorspar, timber, wattle extract, steel, and bagged grain. In many ports, cargowork was done over the side, a slow process that meant that some round voyages between Africa, India and South-East Asia could take 11 months.

Education at sea Another of the ships in which Ian Har-

vey learnt the ways of the sea was the 1943-built Liberty ship Rowanbank (exSampford) that Bank Line bought from the US War Transport Administration in 1946. She ran between South America and the Far East, with calls at South African ports en route. The old ship continued trading for the company until 1959 when she was sold to a Hong Kong owner. Following the successful completion of examinations for his second mate’s ticket, Harvey joined Ettrickbank that sailed from Durban for India and the Far East on a 15-month voyage. A short while later, he relieved the ill second mate in Inverbank, also for a protracted voyage out east. Loading sawn timber over the side in Bangkok, and 7,000 tons of bagged rice in Saigon completed the return trip to South Africa. Durban Lines had been operating between Durban and Mozambique for only a few years when Harvey, with his newly-gained mate’s certificate, joined the old coaster

Congella as chief officer in 1958. The Mozambique trade was largely one-way, with much cargo heading north from Durban. He also served on Berea, another of Durban Lines’s vessels, each of which was named after a Durban suburb. With enough seatime to convince the examiners that he was ready, he sat the examinations for his master’s certificate in 1959 in Durban. All that cargowork, complex navigation through the South East Asian archipelagos, and his considerable acumen for a life at sea ensured that he obtained his certificate with ease.

New career path Later that year, he altered the course of his career, accepting a position with the former South African Railways & Harbours (SAR&H) at East London. The harbour administration had set a master’s certificate as the minimum entry requirement for its tug and dredger mates. At one stage, that organisation was the largest employer of master mariners in the world. Thus Ian Harvey began his 38-year career with SAR&H as mate aboard the old bucket dredger Sir Thomas Price. At the time, the East London turning basin had just been widened to accommodate the longer Union-Castle mailships, Windsor Castle and Transvaal Castle, that had been

ordered. In addition, to accommodate larger tankers that were moving oil products along the coast, a new and deeper tanker berth was under construction in the river port. Another dredger, Paleus, had undergone a refit in the East London drydock and needed to be towed to Port Elizabeth. It was Ian Harvey’s chance to feel the heaving deck beneath his feet again as he volunteered as the mate for the voyage to Port Elizabeth. With traffic at Walvis Bay beginning to increase, SAR&H decided to transfer the relatively new coal-burning tug RB Waterston from East London to the desert port. Harvey volunteered for that delivery voyage as well and stayed in Walvis Bay as the tug’s mate. His wife, Iris, joined him. When the British trampship Trecarrell broke a crankshaft some 80 nautical miles north of Walvis Bay, the tug Otto Siedle was dispatched to tow the disabled vessel to Cape Town. Ian Harvey was the mate in the steam tug, and the master was Captain Wally Shaw, later a senior pilot in Cape Town.

On the move The Harvey’s stay in Walvis Bay was short, as he was transferred to Durban for four years as dredger master and relief tugmaster, but in 1966 he returned to the South West African port as master of RB Waterston. En route to their drydocking in Cape Town, the Walvis Bay tugs would pick up the Luderitz pilot tug and lighters to tow them to the Cape for their refits. While in Walvis Bay, he also qualified as a pilot with an open licence, but with Cape Town experiencing the heavy flow of ships diverted from the Suez Canal that had closed at the start of the six-day war in 1967, the Harveys again packed their bags to move to the Mother City where Harvey resumed his piloting role. In contrast to the quiet west coast port, Cape Town was extremely busy, a “one-ship-out-the-nextone-in” scenario. Once the canal was reopened in 1975, ship-

ping returned to normal, although a new development in South African shipping was taking place at Saldanha Bay where the iron ore terminal was nearing completion. When it opened officially in 1976, Harvey was sent from Cape Town to sail Fernsea, the first vessel carrying a cargo of iron ore from the port. As calls by ore carriers or vessels calling to load concentrates were infrequent in those days of growing trade sanctions, Harvey doubled as Cape Town’s senior pilot and the Saldanha Bay pilot. The other significant change in shipping was the approaching container era, and with it, came the withdrawal of the mailships. A special assignment for Senior Pilot Harvey was piloting the mailship Windsor Castle on her last sailing from Cape Town in September 1977. Although that was a poignant occasion, it was a routine operation for the port’s senior pilot.

The Port Elizabeth years Back to Walvis Bay he went in 1979 as Assistant Port Captain, then to Port Elizabeth for a year, before being appointed Port Captain in Saldanha Bay. Again, it was a short stay, for in 1986, the trek was on again for the Harvey family with Harvey’s appointment as Port Captain in Port Elizabeth. He reached the top marine position in the harbour service as Executive Manager, Marine Services. To that position, he brought vast experience gleaned during those days in Bank Line freighters, in dredgers and tugs, as well as during ocean towage operations and piloting in all kinds of weather, and he knew the harbours well. Thus he was able to have a broad, constructive view on the country’s harbours and the shipping that passed this way. Captain Ian Harvey’s distinguished 38-year career with SAR&H and its subsequent companies – South African Transport Services and Portnet - closed when he retired in November 1997. This fine gentleman of the highest integrity and wide experience had earned the deep respect of the maritime industry. Maritime Review Africa MARCH / APRIL 2015

SAMSA paddlers gear up for 2017

African hopeful for top IMO position

Supporting local artists

All nine paddlers from SAMSA’s Change a Life Program completed the Dusi Marathon with 23-year-old Mhlonishwa Hlongwane scooping a Gold medal at eighth place overall, and third in the Under 23 Division. The progamme supports nine paddlers from disadvantaged backgrounds and SAMSA is optimistic that more South Africans from previously disadvantaged groups can qualify for the world stage race. Sobuntu Tilayi, Chief Operating Officer of SAMSA, was optimistic that the next time the nine paddlers participated in any canoe race, they would surprise many. “These young men are chasing their old records. And they are outdoing themselves. They have incredible support from the own communities.” “At SAMSA, we are poised to ensure that this sport will now become more accessible to those who have not been previously exposed to it. This 2017 event will also put South Africa on the international water sport stage. With the SAMSA Change a Life program our aim is to bring more young black canoeists into the racing fold.”

The election for the post will be held at the 114th session of the 40-Member strong IMO Council, which meets in July. The decision of the Council will be submitted to the IMO Assembly, which meets for its 29th session from 23 November to 2 December 2015, for its approval. The other candidates are Andreas Chrysostomou (Republic of Cyprus), Vitaly Klyuev (Russian Federation), Ki-tack Lim (Republic of Korea), Maximo Q Mejia Jr (Republic of the Philippines) and Andreas Nordseth (Kingdom of Denmark). Shiundu is currently Deputy Director and Head, Programme Management, Technical Co-Operation Division of IMO. He holds a Bsc degree in Naval Architecture and Shipbuilding and an MSc degree in Maritime Safety Administration. He is an alumnus of the Ashridge Business School, UK. Prior to joining IMO in 1997, Shiundu was the General Manager of African Marine and General Engineering Company Limited, the largest Shipyard on the East African Coast. He previously worked for Kenya Ports Authority as Assistant Merchant Shipping Superintendent. Between 1990 and 1996, he was also a registered consultant in the maritime sector to a number of UN agencies as well as the World Bank.

“We were searching for something which would express our deep appreciation to our clients, and yet also embody and typify the very best of ‘grassroots’ Namibian talent. I believe we have found that in the form of these beautiful woodcarvings. At the same time, we are providing much-needed support to these artists and craftsmen and women,” says Hannes Uys, Chief Executive Officer of EBH Namibia. Woodcarvers’ sites are a common phenomenon in Namibia, but few feature as dedicated a craftsman as Shane Ikorua, an Okahandja resident and father of three who has been plying his trade for fifteen years. Ikorua leads a group of four carvers, under the ‘Namibian Wood Carvers’ brand, who sell their wares in an informal trade market. The group’s income from the street market sales averages around N$5,000.00 a month, before profit-sharing and costs, such as materials. “The first carvings which we purchased were such a ‘hit’ with our clients overseas, that we promptly placed another order. Our clients instantly recognised the fine artistry inherent in the work, and appreciated the way in which these pieces embodied our Namibian culture. says Uys.

Dutch Sea Cadet visits Woltemade

TNPA head

PO Maikel Overbeeke from the Netherlands Sea Cadet Corps at Harlingen visited TS Woltemade on during February and, as is customary, he and the OC TS Woltemade, Lt (SCC) Paul Jacobs, exchanged ship’s badges. The Netherlands has 21 active Sea Cadet Units. Many are accommodated in floating units comprising ex naval vessels (Ton Class minesweepers), patrol craft and inshore vessels. These ships are staffed and maintained by Sea Cadet Officers, Non Commissioned Officers and Ratings. Funding is partially provided by local town councils with limited assistance from the Royal Dutch Navy. The advantage of having a floating unit is that the ship’s company acquires practical experience and goes to sea every month. During the school vacation periods the ships visit foreign ports in Europe and have an annual camp. Recently CPO Overbeeke’s Unit, a Ton Class minesweeper, visited the United Kingdom. CPO Overbeeke started his interest in maritime events as a Sea Cadet and now serves in the Dutch Merchant Navy as a 2nd Officer onboard a cargo vessel.

SS Mendi memorial “If man has not discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.” With these words attributed to Martin Luther King is how Padre Tony Bethke began his sermon at the annual SS Mendi Memorial parade at the University of Cape Town towards the end of February.

he ship’s company of the SAS Mendi provided sentries whilst the SA Army band ensured that hymns, Last Post, Reveille and the National Anthem were played to perfection. The parade was hosted by the Gunners Association and attended by Hugh Amoore, Registrar of the University of Cape Town, representatives of the British and French Embassies, Director of Military Veterans representative, SANMVA, ex Servicemen’s Association, various Cape Town based Units, Maj Gen (Ret) Phil Pretorius, RAdm (JG) Guy Jamieson, RAdm (JG) Ralph Ndabambi, Director Naval Reserves, Capt (RN) Rex Cox, OC and Officers from HMS DRAGON as well as Wardens and Head Students from surrounding residences. Padre Bethke focused his sermon on the role of the padre, Reverend Isaac Dyobha, the chaplain to the 5th Battalion the South African Labour Corps. As he was educated by missionaries he would have lead these men on a spiritual journey including daily fellowship and singing various hymns in their mother tongue. Whilst the Mendi stopped at Lagos, Nigeria, to have a gun fitted to the stern, he would have had additional time to minister and build a strong bond with the men on the voyage to Plymouth. Therefore in their hour of need after the fateful collision in the English Channel in thick fog on 21 February 1917 he would have been well placed to play a defining role in what transpired. Oral tradition passed down from those who survived records that Rev Dyobha raised his arms and said aloud, “Be quiet and calm, my countrymen. What is happening now is what you came to do...you are going to die, but that is what you came to do. Brothers, we are drilling the death drill. I, a Xhosa, say to you who are my brothers...Swazis, Pondos and Basotho’s...let us die like brothers.

We are the sons of Africa. Raise your warcries, brothers, for though they made us leave our assegais in the kraal, our voices are left with our bodies.” Many men were killed outright in the collision and some were trapped below decks. Those who survived the collision gathered on the listing upper deck of the sinking Mendi. His actions and words would have brought calm, especially to those who could not swim and had to enter lifeboats or the icy waters. Padres who serve in the SANDF have maintained this tradition of building a strong bond with those who share the same uniform and continue to provide leadership and calm during difficult times. As has become the norm at this parade rounded Atlantic beach pebbles were placed on the memorial instead of individual flowers to create a scene of a beach in the English Channel.  By Lt Cdr Glenn von Zeil PB JCD

This approach requires the integration of data and information into policy and management. South Africa has gazetted a new management plan to conserve and protect the coastline by developing the National Coastal Management Programme (NCMP) out of the Integrated Coastal Management Act, which has as its basic aim the coordination and an integrated approach in managing the coast.

order to assist with investment decisions – particularly from the private sector.

He cited the example of the Swartkops estuary which he estimates contributes some R100m a year to the Eastern Cape economy, but with no precise tourism value placed on this important natural area it has been allowed to become an “impending disaster area” as a result of pollution. Calling for ongoing education on the adverse effects of pollution Myles maintains that a balance has to be found between industry and tourism. Highlighting the work of the World Ocean Council in this regard, he pointed to their success bringing together the many and diverse ocean business communities to undertake sustainable and safe operations as well as help educate the public and stakeholders about their role in helping to formulate ocean policy and assist in developing science. With only 10 percent of our oceans explored they remain our last frontier. “But it’s a busy place with many stakeholders and only three percent of it is protected,” he said adding that we need to learn how to work with the oceans. Myles believes that the solution lies in getting corporates involved through workshops, conferences and alliances in order to highlight the challenges faced by responsible ocean management in a world where 60 percent of the world’s population lives within 60km of the coastline. Myles said that South Africa is one of the world’s top biodiverse nations and there are no less than three internationally recognised biodiversity ‘hotspots’ in the country where attention is drawn to a particular area and that at a national and sub-national level special efforts and partnerships are facilitated to effectively manage that particular ‘hotspot’. In recognising that our seas are the future; there remains fierce competition for seabed space, and with ongoing stake-

holder conflicts there remains the need to adopt a balanced approach to the challenges that can only be resolved through constructive dialogue, such as through regional ocean councils operating as part of the World Ocean Council. “This is the only way to get industry involved,” said Myles.

Assessment and monitoring Marine Scientist Dr Tommy Bornman emphasised the ongoing need for “easy and reliable” data. He cited the example the Agulhas and Benguela currents where, because of the mass of data available, analysis has shown that they have a direct affect on weather patterns in the northern hemisphere. Describing South Africa’s oceans as highly productive and diverse, he warned that this was changing rapidly. This change manifests itself through weather patterns such as storm surges and short bursts of

Meanwhile sea temperature changes have seen the Agulhas current speeding-up, which effects fish stocks that are moving away as well as the birds that feed off them. He also noted the increase in harmful algae blooms that, in 2014, resulted in an extensive four month infestation over 550km of coastline with a resultant adverse socio-economic and ecosystems impact. However, a more bullish Dr Bornman highlighted South Africa’s good history of mar-

itime and environmental research delivering reliable data for scientific research and decision-making whilst policies such as the recently proclaimed Operation Phakisa will be the roadmap for “unlocking the economic potential of the ocean.”

Integrated coastal management Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) in South Africa, whilst still relatively young, can rightly claim to have come a long way in terms of the development of an ICM system. Coastal management expert Tandi Breetzke highlighted the challenges of implementing the legal requirements of the National Environmental Management: Integrated Coastal Management Act 2008 where key factors such as money, socio cultural history and the diverse nature of the coastline presents a multitude of hurdles. However, one of the management tools provided by the act is the requirement that all spheres of government put in place a Coastal Management Programme (CMP). In effect the CMP facilitates cooperative governance by getting people to work together, but also recognises that one size does not fit all. Reflecting on the implementation processes experienced over the past five years Breetzke found that one size does not fit all and that different spheres have different priorities thus making a CMP much easier to write than to implement. Highlighting the need for flexibility Breetzke said that innovative ways need to be explored. “You need a local champion and must have adequate and sustainable funds,” she said adding that the ICM remains an important tool that can be used in response to the effects of climate change as it involves the quantification of risks and pro-active planning for future development.  By Steve Saunders

Is South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coastal Management Act doing its job?

ime will reveal whether South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coastal Management Act, which is still very much in its infancy, has the teeth to do the job it sets out to do, and Jaqueline Campbell, sustainability legal consultant at IMBEWU, says the next five years will be crucial in determining whether the systems in place are working or not. Presenting at the recent Marine and Coastal Management Conference, she said that over this five-year period communication, integration and co-operation between all sectors and spheres of government will be the deciding factor as to whether the Act is in fact doing what it set out to achieve: to protect and promote conservation through sustainable development for future generations. She concluded, however, that the legal framework appears to be consistent with international best practice and in 2012 the ICMA was shortlisted for the World Future Policy Award, which must mean that the Act is doing something right.

The Act According to Campbell the Act itself falls under Section 24 of the Constitution with the aim to protect and promote conservation for present and future generations through sustainable development and the use of natural resources. This is to be achieved through the National Environmental Management Act (NEMA) that was amended on December 1, 2009 and is assisted by the Specific Environmental Act (SEMA) which contains the more idealistic principles which are key to protecting the environment. Further to this is the Integrated Coastal Management Act (ICMA) that aims to establish statutory requirements for integrated coastal and estuarine management in South Africa, prescribing norms, standards and policies. Integrated coastal management The ICMA was established to counteract the fragmented approach to coastal management of the past in favour of dealing with coastal management issues in a more holistic manner.

The coastal environment does not exist in isolation; it operates as an integrated system. An integrated management approach with communication between all the different sectors is, therefore, essential. Integrated coastal management is a dynamic process, continually evolving. The programmes are reviewed every five years in order to learn from errors of the past and also to see which aspects of the programme/s are working and which are not. The Act consists of a set of clear objectives, including:

Determining the coastal zone of

South Africa. Providing the co-ordinated and integrated management of the coastal zone by all spheres of government. The preservation, protection, extension and enhancement of the status of coastal public property. Securing equitable access to the opportunities and benefits of coastal public property. To give effect to South Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obligations in terms of international law regarding coastal management and the marine environment. Institutional framework In effect the State is the trustee of the coastal waters for the protection of both the environment and the public. The Institutional framework is divided into a national coastal committee, a provincial coastal committee and a municipal coastal committee. The process is assisted by groups of voluntary coastal officers who play an essential role in providing much needed expertise. The need for all parties to work together is obvious and there needs to be partnership between government, the private sector and the civil sector in order for the systems in place to really work. In other words, the responsibility of managing and protecting our coastal environment needs to be shared. Integration remains key and it is essential that all pieces of legislation align and speak to each other. ď&#x201A;˘ By Natalie Janse

Addressing green challenges at smaller ports

niversity researchers in the United Kingdom (UK) have developed an 11-point checklist that aims to enable smaller ports to work more sustainably. Covering topics including proactive partnerships and strategic planning for the future, the system breaks down some of the major sustainability challenges harbour masters face on a daily basis. The idea is to help them fully appreciate its importance to their operations, but also to find ways of making the many associated challenges easier to identify and solve. The checklist system was devised by Dr Andrei Kuznetsov and Professor John Dinwoodie, from the Plymouth Graduate School of Management, in partnership with the University of Hull and the Falmouth Harbour Commissioners. To aid its development, Dr Kuznetsov engaged with more than 20 harbour masters in small ports across Devon and Cornwall over the space of three years, establishing their views and opinions about the challenges they face. Dr Andrei Kuznetsov said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sustainability is of vital importance in the maritime industry, and the harbour masters across Devon and Cornwall are committed to safeguarding local employment and commercially important but sustainable local operations. But while larger ports have teams addressing these issues, the smaller ones cannot commit the resources and time. By providing them with an easy-to-use system, we are taking away many of the challenges and barriers and enabling them to focus on the key actions and decisions that are needed.â&#x20AC;? The study features a full breakdown of the key pillars which need to be addressed as part of a portâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainability agenda:

asset management and maintenance, safety management, environmental knowledge and awareness,

environmental management, stakeholder engagement, business planning and management, effectiveness of management process-

es, customer service and satisfaction, proactive partnerships, change management and strategic planning for the future. Each section includes five statements assisting harbour masters to rank their current performance and earmark areas where they can improve their practices. ď&#x201A;˘ Maritime Review Africa MARCH / APRIL 2015

Keeping our oceans alive with opportunity

Blue flag beaches are big business In certain European countries, where beach tourism makes a large contribution to the local economy, local businesses and restaurants have taken on the challenge of achieving and maintaining Blue Flag status on their beaches. So said Ted Knott, Coastal Co-ordinator for the City of Cape Town, at the Marine and Coastal Management Conference held in Cape Town in late February.

e offered the example of Greece, where the long beaches are divided into smaller sections and hotels and restaurants each take responsibility for a section of beach. This creates a win-win scenario as beaches are kept pristine by the members of staff of the hotels or restaurants, so manpower does not become an issue, and beach goers keep returning to the same well-maintained beaches, which can only be good for business. This could definitely be an option for popular local beaches in areas like Cape Town and Durban where the beach is often the main moneymaker with local businesses enjoying the spin off from this merely due to their location. If each business took on the responsibility for a stretch of beach, in order to maintain Blue Flag status, it would create the same win-win situation for South African business owners, beach goers and ultimately the environment.

Empowering through education The international Blue Flag Programme has been running for 25 years. It is primarily an environmental education programme

and the best tool available to both environmentalists and conservationists seeking to educate members of the public on environmental issues, particularly in the marine environment. The programme is designed to promote sustainable development in fresh water and marine areas around four main categories:

Water quality Environmental management Environmental education, and Safety.

The Blue Flag Programme places responsibility on members of local municipalities to fulfil certain criteria deeming a beach fit to fly the blue flag and declare themselves a Blue Flag beach. The list of criteria is detailed and extensive, but the one aspect that needs to be foremost in the minds of operators is always education. Educating the public on the state of our beaches and marine environment is not an easy task, but often the simplest solutions are the best. Blue flag beaches need to use signage as their first port of call with regard to providing the public with information about local beaches. A blue flag beach needs to be clearly marked and must display a sign that is interesting and legible to provide the public with relevant information about that particular beach. Information could include details about the quality of the water or the laws to be obeyed at that particular beach. The aim is to empower the public through information. The site must also commit to undertaking certain educational activities on and off-site and both during and off-season. These would include for example, projects that promote sustainable recreation and

tourism in the area or promote the sharing of ideas between the Blue Flag Programme and other green activities.

Stringent requirements In order for a section of beach to qualify for Blue Flag status, there is a long checklist that must be adhered to. Some of the criteria include:

No discharges into the water The site must be clean Waste disposal units must be clearly marked, suitable and in place

Recycling facilities must be available An adequate number of clean, well

maintained rest rooms must be made available An appropriate sewerage removal system must be operational No camping, driving or dumping may be allowed on the beach (clear signage displayed) Rules for control of domestic animals (clear signage displayed) Facilities must be properly maintained Public safety control measures must be in place Safe access to the beach Clean drinking water must be available, and Facilities and access for the disabled must be in place. The blue flag may only be flown during season and when ALL aspects of the blue flag criteria are 100 percent in order. Obviously these requirements are not all easily achieved and limited funding only adds to the challenge. Also with the onus falling on the local municipality in the area, manpower also becomes an issue. According to Knott the biggest threat to the cleanliness of our beaches and the marine life both along the beaches and in the water remains plastic pollution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Litter free beaches are such an easy fix and yet little or no progress has been made,â&#x20AC;? says Knott. Knott was also quick to point out that Blue Flag status is only the beginning and cannot be achieved over night. It is a time consuming process requiring dedication and perseverance, but the results for all stakeholders are well worth the ongoing effort. It is also only the starting point of things to come with regard to sustainable development. By Natalie Janse

A process approach to developing coastal management programmes

elegates at the Marine and Coastal Management Conference during February learned more about the process of developing coastal management programmes from Warrick Stewart, principal environmental scientist at SRK Consulting. Describing the process, Stewart highlighted some of the national guidelines required in developing policies. These include the following prerequisites:

It must be governed by a national vision.

National coastal management objec-

tives must be in place. There must be a well-defined set of norms and standards for management. A framework for co-operative governance must be in place. Performance indicators must be clearly established.

Implementation The focus of the presentation then shifted to the implementation of a coastal management programme, particularly on a municipal level. The implementation process is divided into three phases:

Phase 1: a status quo assessment Phase 2: a strategy component Phase 3: coastal management by-law

Phase 1 would involve the establishment of both a project steering committee and a technical committee. The goal of both committees being to assess the current state of the coastal environment, as well as the existing coastal management programme. Phase 2, the strategy component, involves setting a vision, developing strategies to address key themes, identifying priority actions, generating a cost-benefit analysis, identifying roles and responsibilities, the public participation process and ultimately facilitating the establishment of a Municipal Coastal Committee.

Phase 3 focuses on the by-law issues and has two main goals:

To evaluate relevant coastal management by-laws, and

To develop a draft Coastal Manage-

ment By-law to address priority issues. It is important to remember that the coastal zone is the meeting point for a whole host of sectors. The role of each sector must, be carefully considered, bearing the following key insights in mind:

Identifying key management issues,

including both opportunities and constraints. Consultation with all key stakeholders Developing a mission reflecting legal requirements, institutional objectives and stakeholder inputs. Identifying objectives and implementation actions. Determining the required institutional arrangements to enable effective implementation. Acquiring an in-depth practical understanding of all legal requirements. Clearly identifying roles and responsibilities. Understanding current or proposed institutional arrangements. Creating a situation that allows for capacity building. The continual monitoring of all coastal management programmes for continuous improvements.

The importance of progress Stewart was quick to point out that these processes can be slow and painstaking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Progress is essential for motivation and to move ahead into implementation,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding: â&#x20AC;&#x153;South Africa has a lot to offer with regard to innovation, resourcefulness and resilience. We need to rely on this in order to move forward.â&#x20AC;? By Natalie Janse

Eastern Cape IDZ aims to improve air quality The Coega Development Corporation (CDC) aims to break new ground in environmental management within IDZs by developing an air dispersion model.

sing existing baseline data from three active air quality monitoring stations, the CDC can manage where investors are placed in the IDZ with the objective of minimising the impact on air quality across the IDZ and on nearby communities. Earlier last year, the CDC identified the need to ensure that the effect of emissions from tenantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities within the IDZ did not exceed the official ambient air quality standards, or pose a health and/or environmental risk to the region. Even though the CDC has established air quality monitoring stations on its 11 500ha land â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which encompasses 14 sector-orientated subzones â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is making use of the air dispersion model to manage air quality and ensure compliance with the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act (AQA) No 39 of 2004. Andrea Shirley, environmental manager at the CDC, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A suitable modelling process will give the CDC the ability to determine the effect of proposed activities to assist decision making on the desirability of proposed investors. This will allow the screening of prospective investors to determine the effects of their air emissions on the ambient air quality in the IDZ and surrounding areas.â&#x20AC;? The emissions inventory used to develop the air dispersion model, gives the total emissions of various pollutants and contains all notable existing sources both outside the IDZ, but within the five kilometre radius, and within the IDZ boundary.

GREEN WARRIOR

A pollution prevention player Gregory Player is the founder and director of Clean C, an NPO that organises and manages beach clean-ups in and around the Cape Town area. His love of the ocean has been the driving force behind his obsession with keeping our beaches clean, our oceans safe and our coastlines preserved for future generations. Natalie Janse asked Player a few questions about where his drive, energy and passion come from and what plans he has for the future.

What did you study and where? The school of hard knocks. But seriously Wits Technikon. I finished up there in 1997 and since then it’s been all work, work, work.

What is your current job title or position within your organisation? Founder/Director/crazy person that tries to save the world one chip wrapper at a time.

What career path led you to your current position? Scuba diving, hotels, computers, skills development and now director of a NPO. I think the main path was the route to the beach and then the ocean. I love surfing, kite boarding, stand-up paddling and surf-skiing.

What does your job entail on a daily basis? I pretty much do everything from marketing, PR, HR, project managing, events managing, fundraising, accounts and making sure my three kids and wife still love me.

Which aspects of your job do you really enjoy? I love every second of my job. Working in communities, on the beach, with youth, adults, companies and schools. I thrive under pressure and love the team that I work with. We all “gel” well together and pull off the most amazing projects. Obviously cleaning up 14 beaches on a month-to-month basis is super rewarding knowing that after our clean-ups the beaches are usually free of around one ton of rubbish. This is rubbish that would have ended up in the ocean, in the stomachs of sea animals or wrapped around boats, ships, yacht propellers or keels. Also “teaching people to fish” in the form of skills development and empowering women to do similar projects and create their own start-ups is massively

rewarding and it’s what gets me up every morning at 5am feeling excited.

Which aspects of the job do you find a little more challenging? People don’t always share the same passion and enthusiasm that we have. However, rather than waste energy on trying to convince them otherwise, we focus on those that want to and those that see value in what we do. Finding enough time to get around to fundraising is also super challenging, but scheduling obviously helps. Seeing the massive need for community and environmental work is always challenging, but this is also an opportunity.

Do you have any current projects on the go? We have loads on the go. We take a “generational” approach to our community work. So we work with ECDs (creches) doing feeding projects and helping them with registrations and good governance. Then we have our Beautiful Future projects for primary school kids: education, education, education. Our Youth Leadership Imbizo Projects serve to motivate and encourage young adults to get out there and make it happen. Skills development is another aspect of what we do. One cannot emphasise enough the importance of building peoples’ skills. We also do arts and crafts and food gardens with our senior citizens and in the mean time we organise 14 beach clean-ups every month, as well as inter community soccer events. Our main project for 2015 is a ten-day Mandela Day Project in July. This is going to be an amazing community upliftment event. We would love to extend an open invitation to every company to get involved: kids, youth leadership, health clinics, soup kitchens, park and home makeovers, reading, spelling bees, community clean-ups and zero waste projects. There are loads.

A massively important part of this project is that we are including locals in the project. It is a great job creation project, both over the long and short term. We are hoping to provide 150 employment opportunities over the period for the rest of the year leading up to Mandela Day 2016. People need to take ownership and realise two things: firstly, everyone has the potential to make a difference and, secondly, if they are stepping up to the plate and making it happen then there is a sense of ownership and pride which translates into people looking after something better and for longer.

Where does your passion for the environment come from? My whole life has been moulded around looking after the environment and others. There is no plan B, so we need to make it happen and look after it.

What are your plans for the future? A: At this stage we are working on our Mandela 10 Day Project. For the next four months this is our key focus. Then going forward - we are always looking at continuing to grow our company. Just this morning I realised that every year since we started we have doubled in everything we have done. And we want to keep going and growing. We need to “up” our reach with our beach clean-ups and grow our community work. Recycling projects and education on a grass root level is vital to ensuring the success of our organisation and the people within it.

Anything you would like to add? I would really like the Mandela Day to be a success. We are looking at raising over R500,000 to make sure it’s a rip roaring success. There are so many good things that can come from it.
