OPPORTUNITIES ICEBERG TOWING

Cape Town’s recent water crisis galvanised the imagination of wellknown South African salvage master, Nick Sloane to start searching for solutions that saw him cast a tow line towards the Antarctica and the possibility of towing an iceberg to the country’s west coast where he envisages that pure fresh polar water could be mined for consumption.

OIL & GAS Pointing at the extremes represented by Norway and Venezuela, Niall Kramer says that South Africa’s best option is to follow the blueprint associated with Norway’s successful exploitation of their offshore oil reserves that includes prudent policy as well as the development of opportunities within services sector.

COMING CLEAN

Following a number of years of waiting, local service providers were thrilled with the announcement by Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) in May that they would finally be issuing permits to provide inwater hull cleaning in South African ports. Underwater hull cleaning was previously restricted to a pilot project in the Port of Durban, but many potential contractors have been eyeing out the opportunity for some time.

INNOVATION INNOVATION/AUTOMATION

ENTREPRENEURS GETTING ON BOARD

The maritime industry was built on entrepreneurship in one form or another from risk-takers embarking on new frontiers to innovators and new service providers who saw a gap in the market. Today, however, there is the perception that establishing a new maritime-related company requires a prohibitive amount of capital. We spoke to a few entrepreneurs who are just starting out as well as those that have a more established track record in the industry to get their views on the challenges and opportunities that exist in the space.

Brian Ingpen highlights the stories of entrepreneurs such as Captain John Grindrod, a seasoned Shipmaster-turned-Marine Superintendent and stevedoring manager, decided – in 1910 - that he could offer stevedoring services of his own in Durban. It was on the failures and the successes of this era that the South African maritime industry was built.

Maritime start-ups raised nearly $200m in venture capital investment in 2018, just four years after the creation of the world’s first accelerator dedicated to the sector. Last year, 25 programmes existed, with 226 start-ups collectively ‘graduated’ to date.

Comments from the editor

The installation of a mammoth rather hideous 60 foot tall â&#x20AC;&#x153;crate manâ&#x20AC;? that stood in the Port of Cape Town a few years ago always fascinated me. Created from some 4,200 empty red coke crates, the structure was aimed at preaching a message of recycling, but for me it also spoke volumes about what can be achieved when we seeks different solutions to a challenge and when we collaborate.

lliot, as the crate man was named, stood arms outstretched in a pose of triumphant success for a number of years before being dismantled. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fitting pose for this issue that aims to celebrate the successes of maritime entrepreneurs and point upwards towards potential new opportunities that exist for those eyeing out the maritime sub-sectors. While the massive, capital intensive ventures that exist within the maritime space may be elusive to start-ups, we believe that there are significant areas that offer opportunities. In South Africa, Operation Phakisa, aimed to promote the expansion of the maritime sectors, but it has been a difficult five years since the launch of the intervention and little growth has been achieved. And, in the absence of the ability to essentially grow the maritime pie for the benefit of job creation and economic development - now is the time to try out new recipes for additional pies. This is where new opportunities such as those represented by offshore bunkering, in-port hull cleaning and the potential of the marine tourism as well as ocean innovation sectors really need to be explored and developed within Africa as a whole. We are already five years into the African Maritime decade and yet it still feels like we are dragging our anchors on real progress. Internationally maritime incubators and accelerators have been created to tap into the future use of technology across the maritime sectors. Competitors are

Developing skills

Skills Development is integral to rescuing the SA Economy – and the maritime sector has an essential role to play

South Africa’s jobs ticking time-bomb grew louder in November, when the International Monetary Fund (IMF) sounded the alarm bells over the country’s projected slow economic growth. Linked to this is the scarcity of skills in the South African, which, if ramped up, could contribute to kick-starting the ailing economy.

t T

his shortage of skills - and doing something about it - is an issue that is close to the heart of Prasheen Maharaj, the CEO of the Durban based Southern African Shipyards.

OPPORTUNITIES | INNOVATION | ENTREPRENEURSHIP

His company has taken it upon itself to training hundreds of artisans in Welding, Fitting, Boiler-Making and Electrics in an in-house programme that has grown in reputation and become highly regarded. The SAS apprenticeship programme, has since its inception in 2008, trained and qualified a host of skilled trades workers that have used the programme as a springboard to advance their careers not just in the maritime sector but other areas in the South African economy. The SAS Apprenticeship Training and Work-Integrated Programme has seen a total of 13 women and 48 men in various disciplines successfully pass their trade tests. Not only is the SAS apprenticeship programme the biggest in the country, but it also boasts a 100 per cent pass rate. These impressive figures come against the backdrop of the IMF’s bleak projection for the South African economy in 2020. The IMF warning should ring the alarm bells for the government and the private who have a duty to work together and do more, Prasheen Maharaj, the chief executive of Southern African Shipyards said. Maharaj pointed to the Oceans Economy - a key sector in the economy - as a catalyst that could spark an economic revival, fill the skills gap and add jobs which the country so desperately needs.

Maritime Review Africa NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2019

In a statement published on Monday (25 November), the IMF said that South Africa faces low growth and low job creation prospects and that the increasing labour force is projected to exacerbate unemployment pressures, poverty, and inequality. Among the challenges South Africa faces were persistently weak economic growth - largely attributable to stagnant private investment and exports, and declining productivity, as a result of the slow pace of reform to address weaknesses in the business climate. Issues include regulatory constraints, labour market rigidities, and inefficient infrastructure. Unreliable electricity supply has exacerbated the growth constraints. Maharaj added that taking cognisance of this challenge within the context of the oceans economy, the private sector and government needed to speed up efforts to grow jobs and reach the 1 million jobs target set out by Operation Phakisa in 2014. “There needs to be a more sincere effort to have meaningful engagement between the private sector and government as ultimately the private sector will be the largest absorber of the skills base,” he said. He recommended equitable distribution from a regional level in respect of skills development in the maritime industry. “We find a majority of the skills are developed in Western Cape and they cannot afford to migrate to KZN where the skills are desperately required,” he said. Speaking at the recent South African

International Maritime Institute in Durban, Mpumzi Bonga the Head of Operation Phakisa, said while in the past five years the maritime economy significantly raised its contribution to GDP to R41.1-billion in investments, just less than 10 000 jobs were created. In line with the 2033 targets set by Operation Phakisa, jobs growth by now should have been 77 000 and the contribution to GDP should have been R32-billion, he said. “We have surpassed the GDP contribution target, but we have not created the desired number of direct jobs – even taking indirect jobs into account, we have not met our target. We need to sober up as we plan for the skills development, we need to grow the oceans economy,” said Bonga. He encouraged role players in all six of the key sectors of Operation Phakisa to change their attitude to “business unusual” to grow the oceans economy in a speedy manner. This can be achieved

through collaboration with the private sector to plan together as a nation and investing in critical human capital for greater growth and success, he said. “We do not have the luxury of time since our biggest shareholder, South Africans, are becoming impatient. There is no room for mistakes as South Africans need skills to change their material conditions,” said Bonga. Operation Phakisa (meaning ‘hurry up’ in Sesotho) was launched in 2014, drawing from the concept of Malaysia’s Big Fast Results Methodology. It is a results-driven multisector approach to growing the blue economy - with a target to create 1 million jobs and contribute up to R177-billion to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2033. Maharaj believes that more can be done and points to the multi-billion Rand contract to build a Hydrographic Survey Vessel (HSV) for the South African Navy that was

awarded to SAS - of what can be achieved. The HSV represents one of the most complex projects to be undertaken in the African continent in recent years and is something that South African can be proud of. The shipbuilding programme also signals one of the largest job’s creation projects in the country. “The hydrographic survey project will create employment for more than 500 people, including apprentices, artisans, technicians, engineering interns and engineers in different disciplines, directly in the shipyard and more than 1500 jobs in the supplier and subcontract value chain. “With the experience of having built such technically-advanced ships, and with the aim of becoming a global force to be reckoned with, SAS is looking to become the Marine Technology partner of choice to the rest of Africa,” said Maharaj.

MARITIME OPPORTUNITIES

Towing icebergs

A new maritime opportunity?

ICEBERG TOWING Cape Town’s recent water crisis galvanised the imagination of well-known South African salvage master, Nick Sloane to start searching for solutions that saw him cast a tow line towards the Antarctica and the possibility of towing an iceberg to the country’s west coast where he envisages that pure fresh polar water could be mined for consumption.

t’s now a few years since he presented the plan to anyone who would listen, but Sloane still believes that the venture could hold water for waterscarce regions that fall within a definable range to where an iceberg could be towed. When he first presented the concept to Cape Town City authorities and government, CSIR and the University of Stellenbosch in November of 2017, he was told it would never happen, but after a number of further engagements

Maritime Review Africa NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2019

with additional stakeholders from around the country and around the World (Norway / France/ USA) the consensus seems to have shifted to the point where he believes that it is a likely option for South Africa that is slowly gaining traction. “It has been a bit of a mind change from people who attended our initial seminar when we first presented the concept - to this point,” he says noting that, as the annual rainfall of sub-Saharan and west Africa continues to drop, the

need to seek alternative water supplies has become an imperative. And, in the event of a greenlight from the City or National Government, Sloane confirms that there are already interested investors for the project. He anticipates that about US$50m would be required for the manufacture of the towing system and geo-textile skirt as well as the installation of a SBM. “For a single iceberg, the delivered water runs at around 27

“The actual harvesting and delivery of the water from the iceberg to these shore-side delivery points would require hundreds of mariners on a continuous basis,” says Sloane.

to 30 cents a litre. If three or more icebergs are delivered in successive years, the repetitive infrastructure costs are reduced and the delivery decreases to less that 20 cents per litre delivered – which is highly competitive,” he says. Despite cynicism from some quarters, Sloane firmly believes that the delivery of iceberg water is the answer to ensure water security in the absence of any large-scale desalination project in the Cape. He says that the delivery

of one tabular iceberg could provide about 20 percent of Cape Town’s water requirements for a year. “The iceberg is a completely non-conventional and supplementary source of potable water. The cheapest water still remains ground water and rainfall catchment, but these are failing us. We need to look at adding to the range of water sources and the southern tabular icebergs is one such source,” he says, adding that new desalination systems can be investigated simultaneously. After presenting at the United Nations U / FAO Global Symposium on Non-Conventional Water Resources in November this year (where it was announced that by 2030 – 60 percent of the World’s population will not have access to potable water), the Southern Tabular Iceberg Forum (Sloane’s group) has now been added to the UN-U Analytical Brief on non-conventional water resources. Describing the Antarctic “tabular” iceberg that he sees as being one such alternative water supply, Sloane notes that they are vastly different to the icebergs of the North Pole and explains that the plan revolves around harvesting between 50 and 60 percent of a +/- 100-million tonne iceberg. Sloane anticipates intercepting icebergs that have fractured

off the massive ice shelf of the Antarctic and drifted near to Gough Island in the South Atlantic. Every year over 100,000 such tabular icebergs are calved off Antarctica and drift around the southern circum-polar currents where they melt – adding over 2,000 billion of tons of freshwater to the ocean, every year! This is the source of the tabular iceberg that he aims to capture and deliver for human consumption. “Our target icebergs are roughly a kilometre in length and five hundred metres wide, and they all have a draft of around 220-230m,” he says adding that the ideal piece of ice would be about 10 storeys high above the water and have a depth of approximately 72 storeys. In total, this would equate to the same height as the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Shard in London. “The iceberg frequencies and currents show that Cape Town is in the optimal position of any major city with regards to shortest possible iceberg towing distances,” he says. Creating maritime opportunities?

Whether a case could be made for the establishment of an iceberg towing company is hard to say, but Sloane says that there are three locations in the southern hemisphere which are within reach for an iceberg delivery. He Maritime Review Africa NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2019

Towing icebergs

Every year over 100,000 such tabular bergs are calved off Antarctica and drift around the southern circum-polar currents where they melt – adding over 2,000 billion of tons of freshwater to the ocean, every year! This is the source of the tabular iceberg that he aims to capture and deliver for human consumption. lists these as being off the Cape or Namibia, Western Australia or Western mid-Chile. Once off the coast of their destination, the delivery and harvesting of the water would require a range of infrastructure projects along the shore that would provide potential opportunities to divers and engineering as well as marine contractors. “The actual harvesting and delivery of the water from the iceberg to these shore-side delivery points would require hundreds of mariners on a continuous basis,” says Sloane. These would include the delivery of skills to moor shuttle tankers; maintain mooring tension around the iceberg as well as man at least six shuttle tankers. Ports would benefit too from berthing and mooring fees. Experts on board

Georges Mougin, and Prof Olav Orheim, who have joined Sloane’s Southern Ice Forum team of experts to investigate the voracity of this venture, have undertaken extensive research into the glaciology of the southern tabular icebergs as well as the complexities of the Southern Ocean currents. They have also investigated the technology that will be required to guide and deliver such a tabular iceberg to the Cape. Sloane notes that smaller Northern Icebergs (between half and 1 million tonnes) are routinely guided away to avoid collisions with oil rigs off Newfoundland and the White Sea of Russia, so it is not a completely new notion. Mougin is a French engineer and the Technical Director of Iceberg Transport International. In the 1970’s he was commissioned to undertake a series of modelling experiments to test the economic as well as practical feasibility of towing an iceberg from Antarctica to Saudi Arabia.

Maritime Review Africa NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2019

He brought in Professor Olav Orheim, a well-known Norwegian Glaciologist, and together they carried out over 25 expeditions onto the actual tabular icebergs. Although nothing came of the idea, the work produced extensive data that still remains relevant today. Towing logistics

Although Sloane highlights that the iceberg will not technically be towed, but rather guided to drift along ocean currents, there is clearly a high level of maritime skill and expertise associated with capturing and guiding these massive chunks of ice safely to their destinations. Sloane anticipates the use of a Dyneema webbing tow-bridle that would encircle the iceberg and allow at least two vessels to remain attached and ensure that it is guided in the right direction towards its destination off South Africa. He envisages using two tugs of 300t plus bollard pull for the initial placement of the towing system. They will hand over the tow to a VLCC supertanker which will provide a far more stable platform in the Southern Oceans. This vessel will necessarily need a bunker capacity for an 80 to 90 day passage to the Cape. Highlighting the continued downturn in the tanker and offshore markets, Sloane believes that the charter rates of suitable tugs and supertankers will make the capture and delivery costs associated with an iceberg delivery feasible. Ocean modelling

The team was recently joined by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in the USA. Factoring in the drag forces of the wind, water and sea-ice they will use a model developed by Dr Alan Condron to determine the motion of an

iceberg. After running over 10,000 simulations, Dr Condron confirmed the feasibility of targeting Cape Town as a destination for such a tabular iceberg. Sloane says that the addition of ocean current modelling, satellite tracking, and computer modelling will allow them to adjust the course of the iceberg by up to 15 degrees over 24hrs – to ensure that the routing takes advantage of the complex circular swirls in the Southern Ocean. The model takes into account the changes in ocean currents and depth to accurately simulate the drift of the iceberg. Iceberg harvesting

With the intention of ultimately grounding and anchoring the iceberg about 15N-miles NW of Cape Columbine, he highlights that it will not have an impact on passing shipping traffic, or the fishing fleets. A mooring spread will see the iceberg secured in position for the mining of the water to occur. According to Sloane natural melting will provide 60 million litres of water a day – and milling machines can increase this daily quantum up to 130 or 150 million litres. Borrowing technology from the oil industry, Sloane envisages that two 50,000 m3 shuttle-tankers, will be moored alongside to act as a conduit for the water to be delivered into a single buoy mooring off Melkbosstrand, that will feed the Melkbos Reservoir via an undersea pipeline. Sloane’s proposal makes use of both existing and new infrastructure. According to his financial projections, the capital expenditure associated over a 20-year period swings in favour of iceberg deliveries over capital intensive projects to construct desalination plants. And perhaps the sight of a massive iceberg being maneuvered up the coast will create a new attraction for marine-life watchers.

Making the most of the oil & gas opportunity

n N

iall Kramer, Director of the South African Oil and Gas Alliance (SAOGA), kicked off his presentation with this sentiment at a recent Innovation Norway breakfast where he highlighted what needs to be accomplished before the country can take full advantage of the opportunities that the offshore oil and gas sector holds. Pointing at the extremes represented by Norway and Venezuela, Kramer says that South Africa’s best option is to follow the blueprint associated with Norway’s successful exploitation of their offshore oil reserves that includes prudent policy as well as the development of a services sector. The Petroleum Agency’s map of South Africa’s offshore acreage already shows that A-list oil companies are interested in exploring opportunities. Legislation uncertainty, however, has delayed any major exploration plans with the exception of drilling undertaken by Total – the results of which have inspired renewed optimism about the potential of an offshore oil and gas sector for the country. “If we make it (the opportunity to explore offshore) commercially attractive and stable, we will attract the right interest,” says Kramer who believes that the country is on the cusp of achieving the right balance. “Total will be back in February 2020 and I believe that this will act as a catalyst for other companies to relook at their options here,” he added.

“We are either on the brink of the biggest economic opportunity since the discovery of gold in South Africa or on the biggest possible disaster.” South Africa gets its Act together

Part of the problem has stemmed around the delay in the promulgation of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Amendment Act (MPRDA) as well as the changes to cabinet made by former President Jacob Zuma which separated the energy and mineral portfolios into two separate departments within government. This situation was addressed when Cyril Ramaphosa came into office and reunited the departments within the current administration. Ramaphosa initially withdrew the MPRDA, but the amended draft was released during November for comment. Stakeholders will have to provide input before the end of the year. The most notable development was of course the discussion around creating a separate Petroleum Resources Development Bill. Speaking at Africa Oil Week at the beginning of November, Minister Gwede Mantashe reiterated that this Bill would be before cabinet soon. The Bill seeks to create an environment that will promote investment into the upstream petro-

leum sector. It provides guidance on the exploration and production activities that will contribute to economic growth and transformation. “We need the legislation to be put in place,” Kramer said, but added that in the interim companies need to ensure that they are ready to take advantage of the opportunities that will naturally follow. In December, Cabinet approved the publication of the draft Upstream Petroleum Resources Development Bill for public comment. Norway’s example

As a fan of Norway’s approach to optimising their oil resources, Kramer believes that there are significant lessons to be learned from a country that has managed to develop, not only their offshore oil resource, but also a worldleading, technologically advanced supply industry. According to Norwegian Petroleum website 86,000 people were employed in petroleum-related service and supply industry by the end of 2017. Almost 19,000 of these were working offshore. With a turnover of NOK 340 billion ($38 billion) in 2017, the

Oil & Gas

service and supply industry is Norway’s second-largest industry, after the sale of oil and gas. The Norwegian service and supply industry consists of more than 1,100 companies providing goods and services in all stages of the value chain, including seismic surveys and rigs, engineering services and drilling rig equipment, valves, nuts and hoses for yards, advanced offshore supply and service vessels, subsea technology and offshore maintenance services. With a foothold in Africa already, Norwegian service and supply companies are already active in Nigeria and Angola. And, with the continent’s offshore oil and gas intentions becoming more ambitious, it would not be surprising to see a greater interest from Norway in pursuing more opportunities in Africa. Indeed, multi-national service companies will all have their eyes on activating their own business opportunities. Developing local capacity

While the actual opportunities associated with exploration and drilling sector will most likely be taken up by the large multi-national companies, there is a need to foster local capacity in an effort to duplicate the success of the Norwegian service and supply industry. There are already South African-owned companies working within the sector. And, while there is certainly a need for further skills development, it would be wholly unfair to presume that there is not

already the availability of capacity to meet most of the needs of the offshore sector. In an interview we published earlier this year in the wake of the Brulpadda discovery, Kramer emphasised the need for readiness in this sector. “We need to focus our attention on ensuring that the country and its service providers are ready. It is no good having a new bill and clarity to draw investors if we are not ready. We need to focus on where we are going and move there now. Readiness in skills, business capacity is necessary for us to be a part of it when it (the offshore exploration and drilling sector) comes online,” he said, adding that the country’s industrial sector has a background in mining that will speak to the needs of a future offshore industry. Speaking specifically about the members of SAOGA, Kramer says that, while he believes that there is an overall state of readiness,

MARITIME OPPORTUNITIES

some thought still needs to be put into what opportunities will come online. Without the ability to prove that the country’s service providers meet the international standards of the offshore industry, the oil majors will look to find ways to bring their existing service providers into the market to meet their requirements. “Our policy specifies local content, but if businesses have not taken the necessary steps (to become accredited and approved), this will not help us,” he warns. He also advocates that companies seek to engage in other regions. “Many companies are already working around the world in the North Sea, Canada and the USA. The experience that they are gaining is beneficial to South Africa,” he says adding that the goal must be to see local companies in the value chain. Additionally, capacity that is developed to support the continent’s offshore oil and gas sector

According to Transparency International, the global coalition against corruption, however some view local content policy as potentially problematic. “Preventing and curbing corruption in local content requires a set of measures aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability in the public administration, including rules on conflicts of interest, asset declaration, public access to information, as well as strong oversight mechanisms,” they warn. “Politicians and public officials may abuse their power and influence to use local content requirements to benefit their allies and/ or family members, and international companies may pay bribes and kickbacks to local companies to serve as the “front” in bidding processes in order to gain access to oil agreements, among other irregularities,” writes Maíra Martini of Transparency International in a report on the subject. “Indeed, corruption is considered to be one of the main impediments to resource-rich countries fully achieving the economic benefits that oil and gas exploration could bring, and it can seriously damage the implementation of local content policies,” she continues.

Allegations and investigations into some of the deals associated with the offshore oil and gas sectors in Nigeria, Kenya and Angola bear witness to these concerns. Curbing corruption

In a conversation with Norwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambassador to South Africa, Astrid Helle, at a recent Innovation Norway function, she noted the need for South Africa to consider joining the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). Perhaps this is a step that SAOGA should be addressing as part of its advocacy within the sector. According to a December blog post by Executive Director of EITI, Mark Robinson, they are engaged in continued communication with stakeholders in South Africa on the use of EITI as a tool to improve extractives governance. The EITI has established a global standard to promote the open and accountable management of oil, gas and mineral resources that requires the disclosure of information along the extractive industry value chain from the point of extraction, to how revenues make their way through the government, and how they benefit the public By doing so, the EITI seeks to strengthen public and corporate governance, promote understanding of natural resource management, and provide the data to inform reforms for greater transparency and accountability in

the extractives sector. In each of the 52 implementing countries, the EITI is supported by a coalition of government, companies, and civil society. Operation Phakisa – a footnote

It is five years post the launch of Operation Phakisa and South Africa still sits without finalised legislation that would have served to create the enabling environment that was at the heart of Phakisa’s goals for the offshore sector which read: “Create an enabling environment

for exploration of oil and gas wells resulting in an increased number of exploration wells drilled while simultaneously maximising the value captured in South Africa. The plan is to create 130 000 jobs, add an annual contribution to the GDP of $2.2 billion, while reducing the dependence on oil and gas imports during the production phase.” Initial aspirations of drilling 30 exploration wells within 10 years of the launch of Phakisa may still be within the country’s grasp. Should this be achieved,

however, it will not be due to any “big fast result” strategy under Phakisa – but rather the fact that Total helped ignite interest in South African acreage despite future legislative clarity. Their well-publicised gas condensate discovery has probably done more for the development of a local offshore oil industry than any government-led initiative. Then there are the Phakisa goals associated with the Port of Saldanha Bay and the Saldanha Bay IDZ. Notwithstanding the slump in the offshore oil and gas sector, the pace of development experienced at the west coast port is not conducive to ensuring a state of readiness that Kramer is calling for. Indeed, the industry cynicism around the slow progress associated with the IDZ as well as inherent politics and bureaucracy surrounding decision-making relating to proposed developments in the port has seen many write off Saldanha in favour of seeking opportunities outside of the country. Over the last few years, while Operation Phakisa has trumpeted its goals with little action, South African companies have sought to establish themselves first in Walvis Bay and, more recently, in Mozambique where the drive for tangible results seems to outpace their neighbours. Moving forward

Despite these detractors, this is an exciting time for the industry. Facing a stagnant economy, South Africa urgently needs to unlock any potential for economic revival. There is opportunity here, but it seems that it will more likely be realised by a drive from the private sector. To what extent this will translate into the establishment of new entrepreneurial enterprises versus the survival and expansion of existing companies remains to be seen.

Underwater Hull Cleaning

COMING CLEAN

UNDERWATER HULL CLEANING APPROVED FOR SOUTH AFRICAN PORTS

Following a number of years of waiting, local service providers were thrilled with the announcement by Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) in May that they would finally be issuing permits to provide in-water hull cleaning in South African ports. Underwater hull cleaning was previously restricted to a pilot project in the Port of Durban, but many potential contractors have been eyeing out the opportunity for some time.

nd it is an opportune time as the global maritime community shifts to address the effects of biofouling from ships. While ballast water discharge has undergone significant scrutiny, biofouling on shipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hulls has only more recently received the same level of attention. The GloFouling Partnership Project was launched earlier this year as an extension to the GloBallast Programme and it aims to build capacity in developing countries for implementing the IMO Biofouling and other relevant guidelines for biofouling management. The five-year global project is being spearheaded by 12 countries that represent a mix of developing nations and Small

Island Developing States that includes Brazil, Ecuador, Fiji, Indonesia, Jordan, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Tonga. In addition, Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand and Sweden are also contributing to the project as strategic partners. While South Africa does not feature in this alliance, it needs to heed the call from the shipping industry for solutions to hull cleaning. Some ports are already enforcing much stricter entry requirements for visiting vessels and ships en route to these ports that first call in South Africa will be looking for solutions to remove fouling.

The South African scenario

The banning of underwater hull cleaning due to environmental concerns in November 2008 led to the closure of diving companies that relied on this service offering to attract business. Directly affected by the ban, Tracy Nettmann and her husband Wayne, found themselves without jobs when the company that they were working for closed its doors. Undaunted, they decided to work towards re-establishing the service in the port by developing a home-grown system that would reclaim 100 percent of the hull fouling that was removed. Having established Aqua-Tech Diving Servicesin January 2009, they began to receive requests for hull cleaning and, after developing their system for environmentally friendly quayside hull cleaning, were granted permission by TNPA to embark on a pilot project within the Port of Durban. Having achieved successful results during the pilot project, the port authority has finally

Species’. Submissions from prospective service providers have been under review since the beginning of the year, but insiders say that announcements are due to be made shortly. “Strict environmental monitoring of all hull cleaning activities will ensure that deviations are picked up early and strict interventions are implemented, even if it means cancelling a permit of a non-compliant service provider,” said Mazibuko. An opportunity for start-ups

Prior to accepting requests for permits, the TNPA undertook a roadshow to introduce the opportunity to interested stakeholders. For those that were lamenting the challenges of accessing opportunities in the Oceans Economy, this offered a good foot in the door. “We will not be applying for a licence, but rather will be helping BBBEE SMMEs come into the space. We are assisting seven companies access these opportu-

nities in Saldanda, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town and Richards Bay,” says Nettmann, confirming that Aquatech Diving has stepped away from actually offering the service to concentrate on providing the approved equipment to these new maritime businesses under the Schomberg brand. “They have all already been successful in obtaining their diving licences and other TNPA approvals,” she said adding that they will be using the locally developed Schomberg equipment when their underwater hull permits are finalised. Companies entering the space will require a minimum team of permanent divers on their books in order to qualify. With many offshore divers either struggling to find work, or eager to work at home – the companies will have access to a skilled workforce. While skills and access to opportunities are often at the core of challenges faced by potential start-ups in the maritime domain, the lack of funding poses another

made the decision to open up this opportunity beyond the pilot phase. Simphiwe Mazibuko, TNPA’s Environmental Manager at the Port of Durban said that TNPA’s decision to offer hull cleaning in its ports in response to market demand was influenced by significant advances in hull-cleaning technology, which minimise the spread of alien species during the cleaning process. “Hull cleaning that is not managed correctly during removal of biofouling, can result in the global spread of alien and invasive species posing serious risks. These risks could include destroying indigenous biodiversity, harming local fisheries and aquatic farming operations and introducing diseases to the local population,” she explained. TNPA permits to undertake underwater hull cleaning will be in line with the ‘2011 IMO Guidelines for the Control and Management of Ships’ Biofouling to Minimise the Transfer of Invasive Aquatic

But the delay in permit allocation has dealt a blow for the timelines of these new companies who will only have access to the funding once licences are in place.

in-water hull cleaning and debris reclamation system that meets the requirements of TNPA as well as those of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and in many cases, supersedes them, bringing this method of hull cleaning in line with international regulations and those required for entry into US and European waters. The system, which was developed as a result of five years of research in three countries, removes biofouling from vessels and and grinds it to a particle size of 30 µm, while also denaturing and effectively killing cells and gametes from living organisms associated with the bio-fouling. She says that only about five percent of the components used in the machines are sourced from outside the country. The equipment is diver-operated, but Nettmann confirms that a ROV is in the design pipeline. “The ROV Vacu-Cart prototype has been built, tested and proven. The ROV Vacu-Cart will be available to the market within the next 12 months. Currently the first three ROV Vacu-Carts are in production for an existing market,” she says. After supplying the immediate need in the local market, the intention is to market the machines internationally. “There has been a massive interest from Europe and Brazil as well as Madagascar and Mauritius,” she reports, adding that the machines are available for outright purchase or as a lease option. Competition likely

But Schomberg is not the only equipment supplier eyeing out the market. “HullWiper has been contacted by many interested companies in South Africa, from start-ups to established corporates looking to expand their portfolio of offshore services,” says Jean Richmond, a consultant for the company based in South Africa. According to Richmond, they made a presentation to TNPA as far back as 2014 and have submitted environmental impact assessments and environmental management plans relating to their available equipment. “With HullWiper’s increasing global network, with 10 hubs

to date and with two new hubs starting in 2020, HullWiper is working in some of the worlds strictest environmental locations, and we see South Africa as a natural strategic location which will serve the shipping world very well,” she adds. Noting that there are still ports that allow unregulated underwater hull cleaning that does not adhere to proper environmental constraints, Richmond understands that some shipowners will continue to opt for these locations as a cheap alternative. “HullWiper is happy to work in any port in Africa or the world, but there has to be a desire to change from the government level and within the port authorities. Once they implement change, then ships will have to comply as we have seen in Australia and New Zealand for example. With TNPA looking at this the same way, South Africa are leading by example to the rest of Africa, to protect its environment, industry and to save lives,” she says. She describes the HullWiper equipment as “easy to use” and adds that full training is provided at the Dubai Training Centre in UAE. “Our technical team then return periodically to ensure all the ROV operators are still working correctly and to give more training to ensure continuous improvement so the best service is always guaranteed.” With equipment already available to the market, HullWiper does not sell their machines, but rather only offers the technology on a lease agreement. “This unique proposition that HullWiper presents ensures the same quality hull clean at any HullWiper location, and by giving operational exclusivity to the HullWiper lessee, it protects their investment and it also ensures that HullWiper has a network partner that can build and grow the business together with other HullWiper locations for everyone’s benefit,” she explains. Whatever technology is ultimately chosen by permit holders, however, it would appear that South African ports could be hosting new start-ups in the maritime community in 2020.

The pace of change around the world is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. One of those areas of rapid change, is the exponential increase in global connectivity. Not only are people becoming increasingly connected, but our devices & tools becoming more connected too. SMD Africa Marine is excited to partner with Iridium, AST, Thales and Cobham; contributing to the leading edge of change, helping any type of vessels at sea stay connected.

COMMUNICATION

HYDROGRAPHY

Features & Benefits GLOBAL COVERAGE - the overlapping mesh architecture of the network provides uniform coverage across the globe, including the polar regions. FASTEST L-BAND SPEEDS - with speeds of up to 704kbbs (increasing to 1.4Mbps), the service delivers the highest L-band speeds available, ideal as a standalone solution or VSAT companion.

Iridium Certus is redefining mobile communications at sea with the introduction of solid-state omni-directional antennas. With no moving parts the equipment is therefore highly robust, the simpler design contributes to lower cost hardware and less maintenance. Iridium has put together a pole-to-pole, overlapping mesh architecture network of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites, that give truly global coverage for all your safety, voice and data needs.

RELIABLE SERVICE - satellites are in Low-Earth Orbit (800km), so signals travel in 1/40 the time of geostationary satellites, resulting in low latency, high-speed, always on connections. COST EFFECTIVE - lower cost equipment and better value airtime without long contracts and high-cost services. Save even more when combined with the power of INTEGRA Control. SCALABLE - whether used as a stanalone service or as part of an overall satellite communications solution, Iridium Certus can be scaled to meet the growing needs of your business.

Not only does Iridium Certus provide for low latency operational communications and safety services across all maritime market sectors, but it provides low latency connectivity across all geographies, and in all weather conditions.

MOBILE - small, lightweight solutions from Thales and Cobham SATCOM combined with truly global coverage keep you connected on the go, anywhere in the world.

SMD in partnership with AST has sponsored an Iridium Certus SATCOM for the racing yacht Zulugirl that will be sailing in the Cape to Rio Yacht Race in Jan 2020. The team at SMD wish the Zulugirl all of the best in this exciting race! For any queries regarding Iridium Certus and how SMD can assist your Vessels become more connected, please contact sales@smd-marine.com or visit our website at www.smd-marine.com

MARITIME MEMORIES

By Brian Ingpen

MARITIME SA Built on entrepreneurial spirit Grandpa Fred (Ingpen) – whose life tales I recount from memory and from family legend – had salt in his blood from his own steamship voyages and those of his forebears who had left their home in Britain (or had been sent from Britain) to settle, initially in Fiji and then in Australia. He was born on a farm in the outback, north of Geelong, Australia, and, barely 21 years old, young Fred decided to travel to Britain, the country of his ancestry.

t By Brian Ingpen

he mists of time have shrouded the name of the Blue Funnel liner that sailed from Melbourne in the late nineteenth century with him aboard, and called at East London (South Africa), en route to Britain. As the vessel was in port on a Sunday, Fred, a devout Christian, wandered ashore to a local church, and during his time of worship, he noted the stern of a young lady in the pew ahead of him. Perhaps his rendering of the hymns in his beautiful tenor voice gave him an introduction to her – Mabel Halsall – and it gained him an invitation from her parents to lunch in their home. He decided that, since Africa held more promise than overcast Britain, he cancelled the rest of his passage to Britain; collected his baggage from the ship and he anchored in East London. In time, he married Mabel, and the rest is history. Because of his Australian roots he enjoyed being at the docks when ships sailed for his native land. As a real kortbroek, I was with that gracious man one day when the Blue Funnel liner Ixion sailed from Cape Town, probably in about 1952. He waxed nostalgic about his lifechanging trip from Australia to East London more than 50 years earlier, until the tug TH Watermeyer began to pull Ixion away from the berth. His ramblings about his voyage were drowned by the ear-splitting release of pent-up steam from the tug as the stokers had shovelled too many cobbles into the furnace, creating too large a head of steam! But back to the history of our hero. In about 1903, he and Mabel moved to Cape Town where he established

an import business that began to thrive as the country rebuilt after the destructive Anglo-Boer War, and there was much demand for imported goods from steel and machinery to household goods and textiles. Initially with a one-horse trap, and later a pair of beautiful Clydesdale horses pulling his Cape cart, he would collect his imported goods from the customs warehouse at the docks and deliver them to his clients. He must have done well for later, he also had a car – some relatives said it was a Model-A Ford – that he used for the same purpose. He bought a smallholding in Mowbray; commissioned a local contractor to build a modest home (that still stands in Cheltenham Road) and outbuildings where he stabled his horses; bred red setter dogs; kept Rhode Island Red fowls, and enjoyed overlooking the fields in which a local auctioneer’s dairy herd grazed. Another sign of his success was his acquisition of a small holiday cottage above Third Beach, Clifton, to which he and his family would travel most of the way by tram, presumably as the road was not suitable for his Clydesdales or his Ford. Then followed a trek on foot to the cottage. There was great excitement when he secured his largest order for hundreds of pieces of highly valued crockery and glassware that he duly ordered from British manufacturers whom he paid with the requisition. (At the time, a man’s word was his bond, a notion that Fred Ingpen honoured meticulously.) In the days when even the UnionCastle mailships, known as the Cape Flyers, took 16 days for the passage from Southampton to Cape Town,

Fred Ingpen’s eagerly-awaited consignment of crockery and glassware took a while to arrive. When it finally was landed in Cape Town, he hurried to collect his wares, and was shown several large wooden packing cases. The paperwork completed, he put them on a wagon he had borrowed, but, puzzled by an ominous sound from within one of the cases when it was placed on the wagon, he opened it. To his absolute horror, the contents had been smashed during the voyage to Cape Town. He immediately opened the others, and one by one, they exposed the same tragic contents – bits of smashed glass and crockery lay in each of those packing cases! Amid high trauma that kept even this calm and devout man awake at night, his subsequent inquiries revealed that insurance had not been booked to cover the shipment. Perhaps modern litigation practice would have secured a happier ending for him, but, with his clients wanting refunds, Fred had to sell that quaint Clifton cottage, the family moved to smaller quarters in Woodstock and he closed his import agency. Thus ended an entrepreneurial endeavour that went horribly wrong. There was a silver lining. His experience in the import trade (including lessons learned from that insurance calamity) and his reputation for absolute integrity were factors that gave him a new start with a large wholesaler-cum-importer for whom he worked in Cape Town and later in Port Elizabeth.

Stevedoring success At the other end of the scale of success is a different story that also could have had a disastrous ending. Captain John Grindrod, a seasoned Shipmaster-turned-Marine Superintendent and stevedoring manager, decided – in 1910 - that he could offer stevedoring services of his own in Durban. And there was reason to hope for growth in such an undertaking. Six years earlier, the first Union-Castle mailship had berthed inside the harbour instead of clinging to her anchor in the exposed roadstead to work cargo into lighters.

Led for many years after his death by his son, Walter and thereafter by his grandson Murray, the Company has played an important role in local shipping.

That significant event – added to the expanding railway network, mining and industrial activities in the country - stimulated further developments in shipping and growth in cargo volumes through the port. Shortly thereafter, Grindrod added ships’ agency, chandling and coaling portfolios to Grindrod & Company, which, amidst an expanding local maritime sector, began to thrive. He also tried whaling on the South Coast and along the Mozambican coast, but both projects fell on bad times, the former leading to a landmark legal battle that cost him a lot of money.

From stevedoring to ship ownership However, during the legal proceedings, he met Durban advocate, Leon Renaud, who indirectly introduced him to shipowning via the formation of the SS Frontier Steamship Company (later known as African Coasters) that ran two small coasters between Durban and Port St Johns. Soon that service was extended to East London and Algoa Bay where, although most cargowork still happened in the roadstead, those little ships could berth at the Dom Pedro Jetty. Plagued at that time by competition from the railways and from bluewater

By Brian Ingpen along the Southern African coast, and, taking delivery of modern, doubleskinned tankers that had been custombuilt in Poland, Korea and China, Unicorn ventured further afield – just in time to benefit from the astronomical rise in charter and freight rates during an unprecedented shipping boom from 1999 to 2007. Also reaping excellent returns during this unparalleled time in global shipping was the bulker fleet operating under Grindrod’s other shipowning and operating arm, Island View Shipping. Diversifying into other maritime-related and logistics roles, Grindrod expanded far beyond the wildest dreams of its entrepreneurial founder, becoming a multi-faceted international maritime services group, with cargo terminals in Richards Bay, Durban, Maputo and Walvis Bay.

From offices in several foreign centres, it operates dozens of ships, moving liquid and dry bulk cargoes worldwide, holding its own, despite the fickle world shipping markets that tumbled as quickly as they had risen, and continuing to reflect far lower returns that those heady times before the markets’ collapse twelve years ago.

ships that topped up with coastal cargoes during their voyages along the South African coast, the coasting trade yielded low returns. Grindrod, however, was a determined character, as illustrated by a conversation with the late Scotty Hill who, at the age of 15, had joined the firm in 1918 as the traditional office boy. Grindrod, Hill said, would enquire how cargo bookings were going and when he was told that the ship was only half booked, he would ask, “Have you phoned Shell? Have you phoned Caltex? Have you phoned Huletts? Have you phoned Lever Brothers?” the Company’s traditional cargo clients. When Hill confirmed that he had contacted all possible shippers, Grindrod would instruct him to phone them again.

An established legacy Although Captain Grindrod died suddenly in 1930, his shipping legacy continued, initially under his son Walter who steered the Company through very difficult times, especially in the post-war period until deliberate railway competition to the coasters

was abolished in 1954. Although the shipment of coastwise cargoes was open for the coasters, without capital to expand and modernise the fleet, African Coasters could not be competitive. The rest of the story is well-known. Murray Grindrod, the grandson of the founder, took the helm to secure capital for a fleet replacement programme, and ultimately, to steer Unicorn Lines - a combination of four formerly competing coasting companies – to new and exciting horizons. Topping the excitement was the launching of the 4526-deadweight Tugela, the first of eleven ships to be ordered from newly opened Durban shipyards. Trade patterns changed as containerisation swept into South Africa, and the Company was the first to operate a containership – Voorloper – and opened the first container depot in the country. On the broader front, the West African and South American trades beckoned – with mixed success. But perhaps the most successful venture was the Company’s entry to the product tanker market, initially

Central to the Company’s 110 years of operations has been the Grindrod family, and most remarkable was the role of the late Murray Grindrod. For nearly half of the company’s existence, he worked in various roles, starting at Maydon Wharf where the old coasters used to load their sugar, paper and detergent cargoes. Progressively, he moved up the ladder, learning as he went, and, armed with all that experience, he ultimately led a dynamic management team until his retirement as Chairman in 2007. The sense of commitment and personal integrity – exhibited in the Company’s approach to business from day one remain its hallmarks. Life and focus in Dockland have changed greatly since those days more than 60 summers ago – when my schoolboy adventures took me to Cape Town’s South Arm to watch the coasters berthing, working their cargoes and sailing. Unlike those days when the Durbanbased coasters lined South Arm, many units in the current Grindrod fleet do not call here, tramping instead all over the world. This is a testimony to the remarkable development of a remarkable Company that began in 1910 following the remarkable vision of a remarkable entrepreneur.
