MESSAGE FROM CAPT MANOJ GAIROLA GENERAL MANAGER (SHIPPING)
GREEN WAVE SHIPPING
Kaizen - Incremental change for improvement is a time tested Japanese concept which has produced impressive results in various land based industries. Then why does a mere mention of “Change” bring about extreme reactions from us in the maritime industry? Why does it conjure images of upheaval in the system causing anxiety, anger and fear amongst the employees, resulting in resistance to change, and, in many cases failure of the system? In a fast changing industry like shipping, in addition to the incremental change due to internal processes, external factors such as maritime accidents may cause major changes being thrust upon us. The only way to stay ahead as a leading owner / operator of chemical tankers and to avoid accidents is to analyze and embrace such change with open arms and be ready to learn new concepts , good practices and adapt ourselves continuously to these requirements. Guidance from the senior management on board in communicating, managing and implementing such change and, ship staff’s active participation is the cornerstone of successful implementation. We sincerely thank you all for your continuing efforts to progress towards achieving targets set in the company’s vision statement. Remember: Change is the only constant!!! SAFETY IS AS EASY AS
A-B-C,
ALWAYS
CAREFUL.

RECORD OF ACCIDENTS, INCIDENTS AND NEAR-MISSES DURING 2012
SUMMARY OF NEAR MISS REPORTS DURING 3Q/2012: We are pleased to advise that the response from all ships during the 3rd Quarter of 2012 continued to be good. Our average for the three months ending in September 2012 has moved up to 7.7 NMPVPM (near miss per vessel per month) from 6.7 during the last quarter. There were some common near misses reported by vessels, the most common being not closing all scupper plugs prior bunkering, or, not wearing proper PPE when doing routine maintenance tasks, or, not securing accommodation doors when transiting in hi-risk Pirate areas. These and few others are highlighted in RED. Safety and Machinery near-misses were predominant indicating a good eye for matters relating of breakdown of machinery and safety onboard. Please keep up the good work and remain ever alert to potential risks every minute of your stay onboard. The BBS program to identify AT-RISK behaviours has also taken off and we are getting good feedback from across the fleet. The extra monitoring is a very small price to pay to ensure safety and well being of your shipmates onboard. Please find a summary of near misses received. The winning entries are as highlighted below.

Near Misses for Appearance
None reported by vessel.
Near Misses for Cargo Operations
At Pasir Gudang, deck watch noted that the shore cargo hose is incorrectly connected to ship's manifold by shore personnel. During loading Styrene Monomer cargo in Singapore Oil Tanking blind flanges on steam lines were noted not in blanked position. During cargo discharge the pressure in manifold suddenly increased from 0.3 mpa (request by shore) to 0.7 mpa. Bosun reported promptly & brought situation under control. The loading schedule was suddenly changed 20 minutes prior Pilot boarding resulting in incomplete loading plan and protest from shore terminal for low receiving rate. During routine training of deck crew by Ch Officer, he noted Pumpman and Junior Officer were well versed with the procedures Sample locker compatibility whereas training need was identified and carried out for other deck crew. At Sri Racha, Ch Officer and 1st Officer were busy with attending BHP Inspector when at shore request – 3/Officer started operations without informing Ch Officer.
During loading Phenol at Plaquemine, manifold samples were not taken. These could be instrumental in case a contamination claim is raised by cargo interests. . Near Misses for Documentation / Certification / Surveys
None reported by vessel. Near Misses in Communications category
Incorrect information on Bridge and poor communication between Bridge and Engine Room resulted in very little advance notice to test engines prior arrival of Pilot onboard. At Maptaphut 3/Off advised O/S to put marker flag on cargo manifold to be used for loading arm connection, but flag was found 6 mtrs away from the manifold used. During Inspector visit onboard Duty Officer could not recall the low pressure alarm setting range, even though he knew the response, this showed lack of confidence. Near Misses – General
During weekly accommodation rounds found considerable lint in washing machine filter. Someone had left the fuse puller on workshop table instead of securing it in the designated place. Ch Engr asked 3/Engr to read manuals and instruction books prior operating or testing any machinery. Paints were requested beginning June 2012, but till 22nd August had still not been received onboard. Crew shower room drain was found choked with hair debris etc. and could cause shower water to spill over from the tray. 5

Mess man in galley was seen washing plates but the strainer was not in place which could cause choking of lines, which may be difficult to clear due inaccessible location. Bread toaster was found full of old bread crumbs. During heaving up anchor the flukes were found with debris from the river which was quickly cleared by the crew. Near Misses – Machinery
2/Engr noted abnormal vibrations on No 2 purifier and higher amperage, decided to stop and investigate and found vertical shaft bottom bearing damaged. Renewed with spare.
During routine inspection of engine room bilges found water in aft bilge which traced out to leaking boiler circulating pump gland. Same repacked. During maneuvering at Algas Singapore, duty office gave telegraph from ahead to slow astern without stopping first – caused fuel cam abnormal alarm. Incinerator stopped in port, but lines not flushed with Diesel oil, causing fuel oil blocking the lines and had to be cleaned manually by removing pipes on by one. No 2 FW pump was running hot which turned out to be due to empty domestic fresh water tank. Tanks changed over and pump performance found satisfactory. No 2 MSW cooling pump loss of discharge pressure traced out to worn impellor and casing which repaired using steel putty and spare impeller. During routine watch oiler charged hydrophor tank with air, but the relief valve opened up. The pressure gauge was found inoperative. During rounds in Steering compartment found capacity was not stenciled, same rectified.

Black smoke from boiler was traced out to sluggish air supply linkages on FD fan – same rectified. During routine watch keeping oiler noted small droplet of oil, from one connection of scavenge oil drain line – traced to closed drain valve during previous watch. Forward power pack compartment is not equipped with Mist detector. After arrival port, duty engineer noted hydraulic unit for aft mooring winch still in operation – checked and noted that duty officer forgot to switch this off. Oil noted in lifeboat engine bilge traced out to overfilling tank (not taking into account the stowed position). During undocking, the forward rope was still in water when Pilot ordered Bow Thruster movement but was stopped by the Master. During routine rounds, oiler noted frequent sludge tank high level alarm and traced to high oil inlet temperature – this was adjusted and situation was normal. During pre-departure checks of main engine found belt broken on No 1 scavenge blower – repaired in time. During port stay at Ningbo found excessive leaks from glands of sanitary water pump and Fire/GS pump – traced to muddy waters in port – seals changed. Duty Officer switched on Bow Thruster power without opening the vent first. The wires on rotary wire brush were found damaged during routine maintenance on exhaust valves – wires repaired. Some crew used washing machine but forgot to close the filling valve leading to moisture in the electrical circuits and low insulation alarm in the engine room. During maintenance on generators, oiler opened air to clean the area, but the coupling came off and the air hose found swinging – oiler shut the air supply immediately to prevent any injury. Deck air compressor was found running continuously, noted a valve had been left open by mistake – closed by duty oiler. Air conditioning compressor found tripped on high pressure – traced to low flow of cooling water caused by stuck flushing sanitary valve in accommodation. During routine round in engine room, 4/Engr found sludge tank’s self-closing sounding pipe kept open by lashing wire – removed and crew briefed. During scheduled testing of pressure gauges with certified Master gauge, found few pressure gauges inaccurate / not working. During routine round in engine room Motorman noted grinder was running – previous crew forgot to switch it off after use. During boiling water in Galley, due to rough weather the pot overturned causing water on hot plates and earth alam in engine room. ODME does not have LAN cable to enable connection to PC whereby no evidence can be collected and shown, if the equipment fails. During servicing of Aux boiler, boiler technicians replaced the solenoid in return line instead of supply line resulting in black smoke during testing of boiler in port. After discharging cargo of Tallow loaded in Port Alma, Australia, found lots of stones in the cargo which could damage the ship’s cargo pumps. 7

HEALTH MATTERS - EYE INJURY (We are thankful for the below article taken from website of AETNA Inc. for information and internal circulation only)
What Is It? Eyes can be damaged by solid, liquid, powder or aerosol chemicals. Chemical injuries that happen in the home are most likely to be caused by soaps, disinfectants, solvents, cosmetics, drain cleaners, oven cleaners, ammonia and bleach. In our shipping industry, many irritating chemicals and solvents can injure the eye. A chemical eye injury is an emergency. Damage can occur within one to five minutes. Most of the time, however, chemicals that come in contact with the eye cause only surface damage and no loss of vision. Caustic (alkaline) chemicals cause the worst damage. These include ammonia, drain cleaners, automatic dishwashing detergents and oven cleaners.
Symptoms Symptoms include:
A burning sensation in the eye after exposure to a chemical Excessive tearing Pain Redness on the eye and eyelid surface Blurred vision
Diagnosis After your eye has been rinsed completely, your doctor will measure the pH (acidity) of the tears in your eye to make sure the chemicals have been washed out. Then your doctor will inspect your eye for damage and test your vision with an eye chart. Normally, the doctor can see inside by using a handheld ophthalmoscope. However, after chemical injuries, a whitish, hazy area can appear in the clear part of the cornea. This can block clear vision, and it may prevent your doctor from seeing inside the eyeball through the pupil. If any significant damage has occurred, your doctor probably will recommend that you see an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) for a more complete inspection and vision testing.
Expected Duration How long symptoms last depends on the type of chemical and the amount that has gotten into the eye.
Prevention
To prevent chemical damage to the eye, wear protective goggles whenever working with or near chemicals. If your eye is exposed to chemicals, the most important way you can limit the damage is to start flushing the eye with water immediately. Use a strong steady stream of clean water. Arrange for immediate evaluation by a doctor. Continue the flushing until you are ready to go.
16
GWS
NEWSLETTER
AUTUMN 2012
A QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER FROM GREENWAVE SHIPPING PTE. LTD.
Treatment Before you call a doctor, begin to
rinse the eye with a continuous stream of
water. It is best to use cool running water and to continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. If both eyes are affected, you can either alternate sides or allow the water to flow over both eyes at once.
If you can't put your eye under a faucet, have someone help you. If water is not available, you can use milk or even a soft drink. If you are wearing contact lenses, do not try to remove them before washing your eye. If the lens is still in your eye after several minutes of flushing with water, you should try to remove it.
Do NOT rub your eyes, even after flushing them with water. A doctor should evaluate every chemical eye injury. He or she will continue rinsing the eye until the pH is normal or near normal. In some cases, particularly after severe alkali burns, rinsing may need to be continued for as long as 24 hours. The doctor places a soft tube in the eye that connects to a bag of sterile saline solution (similar to an intravenous set up). When the rinse is complete, the doctor will examine the eye and remove any foreign particles. He or she also may touch the cornea with a small instrument called a tonometer to check the pressure inside the eyeball. This is the same test used to screen for glaucoma. He or she will put drops into your eye to dilate the pupil. This not only allows the doctor to do a more complete eye examination, but it also can reduce pain by preventing subtle movements by the eye muscle that surrounds your pupil.

SAFETY MATTERS – CASE STUDY FOLLOW-UP During the last quarter we did a case study for a vessel going aground at Merak. The response from our vessels to this case study was very encouraging. Please find below some communication exchange between the oil majors (OM) and ship managers (SM) for your kind info and discussion during your next safety meeting. 1) BTM COURSE OM - We note that the master did the last BTM course on – 26 Mar 2012. Having done the course so recently, how do you consider that another similar course will be effective in preventing another incident of similar type. SM - Yes, we too don't consider that a BTM refresher alone to be the solution in this case. As mentioned in our earlier updates, a range of measures have been taken including an additional navigation audit, extensive on board training, follow-up visits, circular, discussion of this incident as Case Study in the upcoming Fleet Officers Seminar. While all these measures are taken we also consider that a BTM refresher training prior to his next assignment will be helpful.
2) BRIDGE MANNING OM - The bridge manning level was not in accordance with the company's requirement. Are there any lessons to be learnt for the vessel's management? SM - Bridge manning was not in compliance with the company SMS. No additional officer was called for pilot boarding supervision. No extra look-out was employed during the arrival passage, the Masters discretion in this case did not take prevailing circumstances into account.
3) PASSAGE PLAN OM - Was a review of passage plan done during the course of investigation? Was the company's UKC policy complied with and was it calculated by the bridge team at the time of passage planning? SM - Yes, passage plan was reviewed during the investigation and navigation audit. The Company’s UKC policy was found complied with during planning stage.
4) NO GO AREAS OM - Were no go areas marked? SM - Yes, no-go areas were marked.
5) ECDIS OM - Does the vessel use ECDIS, was it in use and being observed? SM - Vessel does not have any ECDIS.
6) ALARMS ON BRIDGE OM - Were GPS cross track alarm/echo sounder depth alarms used? Could the above have given any indication to the bridge team of vessel's drift towards shallow and could the incident have been avoided? Are there any lessons to be learnt for this? SM - During the course of investigation it was found that GPS Cross-track alarm and Echo Sounder depth alarms were not utilised. Had these alarms been utilised to the maximum potential, definitely those would alert the Bridge Team of the vessel’s drift towards the shallow patches. Lesson learnt – Optimal use of all navigational equipment/aids to be ensured during the execution & monitoring of the passage. This has been highlighted in the circular sent to all vessels.

7) PILOT BOARDING OM - We note that the pilot boarded the vessel 1.95 nm inward of the charted boarding ground. In future if a similar situation is encountered what will be done differently? SM – A circular has been sent to all vessels providing guidance for such situations, including following: Re-assessing the approach/ potential hazards through a RA prior proceeding to revised boarding point in-ward. Notifying the DPA in case of doubt and / or uncertainty instead of proceeding.
8) ROOT CAUSE OM - Could you please expand on the root causes and advise how these were arrived at and also advise the preventative measures in respect of each root cause determined. SM - In this case there were two basic factors identified, viz. Personal Factor and Job Factor Under Personal Factor the attributing elements were: Lack of knowledge – Company procedure was not properly followed. Bridge was not manned as per Company SMS. Pilot boarding was accepted 1.95 nm inwards without assessing potential risks. Lack of skill – Inadequate monitoring of the ship’s position by all available means on board. Best use of navigational equipment/aids was not made under the prevailing circumstances; e.g. Echo Sounder depth alarm, mapping system of ARPA, CMG of GPS, X-track error alarm etc. Under Job Factor the attributing elements were: Inadequate leadership and/ or supervision – Improper or insufficient delegation of the duties. No additional officer was employed to supervise pilot boarding. No additional look-out employed other than a helmsman. Inadequate leadership and/ or supervision– Lack of supervisory/ Management job knowledge. Master failed to monitor the vessel’s progress along the track. Inadequate leadership and / or supervision – Inadequate performance measurement and evaluation. Navigation progress was not assessed and set / drift towards the shoal patch was not evaluated. Control of Navigational equipment/ aids was not to the optimal performances/ benefits under the prevailing circumstances.
9) BRIDGE AUDITS OM - We are concerned at the number and nature of the observations made during the 2428 June, after the incident. Were these observations not seen in the previous audits, could the management not have got any early sign/warnings of the bridge team failure on board the vessel? SM - Though earlier audits identified few issues but those were not of that serious nature to indicate significant lapses in the bridge team management. During the incident investigation and navigational audit weaknesses were identified and extensive training provided. Further to above, following measures taken/ planned to address the underlying issues. The investigation/ audit findings were discussed in the Quarterly Shore Management Review on 05 July 2012. The importance of in depth extent of internal audits/ ship visits wrt. shipboard bridge procedures were highlighted. This is being monitored by the Compliance Manager. One additional officer employed on this ship and other ships on short haul trades. Refresher BTM courses planned for all deck officers when on leave. A circular sent to all ships highlighting the lessons learnt. This incident has been included in the senior officers briefing. This incident will be used as a case study during next FOM.

Risk Focus: GYPSY MOTH (AGM) One of our ships suffered delays in US Ports recently due discovery of AGM eggs. Hence we are repeating our earlier notifications in this newsletter. The Gypsy Moth is a highly destructive forest pest which can enter the United States by laying eggs on vessels and/or cargo while in foreign ports. The females may fly and lay eggs between May 15 and October 15, and can literally cover a vessel during that time. Adult Female (top) and Male (bottom)
Gypsy Moth egg mass next to penny
High-Risk Ships: Ships originating in or transiting Europe, China, Japan, Korea, Russia, Turkey and the Mediterranean may have been exposed to Gypsy Moths. It is unlikely you will find a live adult Gypsy Moth on these vessels, but you may find egg masses. Inspectional Equipment: Binoculars - to look at unreachable areas of the ship. Flashlight - to look in darkened areas such as between containers. Mirror on a stick - to look under vehicles, around confined corners, etc. Vials - to collect adults, larvae or egg masses. Knife, paint scraper, or putty knife - to scrape the eggs from the structure. Light ladder for inaccessible areas. Please ensure that all above and any additional equipment needed are available onboard. If not, please request these from your Superintendent. Where to look? Egg masses are normally deposited in sheltered locations such as in crevices or cavities, under tarps, behind walls and doors, and underneath the hold rims. Binoculars may allow you to see unreachable areas of the ship. • Female Gypsy Moths are attracted to light; therefore, the female moths could lay their egg masses on surfaces of the ship that are exposed to lights. However, if the ship was lit with shore-based flood lights while in a high risk port, egg masses could be found in all locations. • Look for evidence of fresh paint covering scrapes on walls or painted over egg masses. 21

What you will find? • Egg masses on ships may be weathered, darkened, and appear old. Look for hatching larvae that may be blowing on silk strands from the ship. Peak hatching of eggs is in the morning. Larvae move toward vertical structures and climb rapidly.

How to remove? )
Remove egg masses from the ship. Using a knife, paint scraper, or putty knife, scrape a few eggs from the surface and place into a vial. Do not drop egg masses into the water. Salt water will not kill the eggs or larvae.

Risk Focus: LOSS OF POWER THERE IS AN ALARMING TREND ATTRIBUTED TO ENGINE FAILURES AND POWER OUTAGES. PLEASE FIND BELOW AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED BY UK P&I CLUB HIGHLIGHTING THE THREATS AND CONTROL MEASURES WHICH SHOULD BE EXERCISED TO MINIMISE DOWNTIME AND STOPPAGES. PLEASE DISCUSS THIS ARTICLE AND THE ROOT CAUSE DIAGRAM TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WE CAN ENSURE RELIABILITY ONBOARD. Increasing numbers of main engine failure related incidents and accidents following blackouts have led to a data collection exercise by the UK Club’s risk assessors and a detailed analysis of more than 700 claims which has given cause for concern. A significant number of these claims for third party property damage, many of which were enormously expensive and in some cases amounted to millions of dollars could be attributed, directly or indirectly, to main engine failures or electrical blackouts. Hazard, threats and consequences: In the centre of the diagram, Loss of Power is identified as the ‘hazard’ , while blue squares to the left identify a range of ‘threats’ , which, if not controlled, could cause a serious incident involving P&I claims and other consequences which can be seen in the red shape on the far right of the diagram. Controls: Between these extremities can be seen the ‘controls’ which, if they work properly, will prevent the accident happening and on the right hand side of the diagram. Thus taking as an example the threat of Main Engine Failure (left hand side), controls which should be in place to prevent this include system monitoring, testing the engine before pilot and berth, the monitoring of starting air, good system maintenance, tests and maintenance for the automation and control systems, good ‘failure to start’ procedures and training and familiarisation of staff. Consequences: The consequences of an accident (right hand side)will be mitigated by the capability of the crew to deal with an incident, good record keeping, emergency reporting and communication procedures, systems and procedures to maintain steering, emergency drills, clear abort procedures, recovery measures implemented by a well trained crew, tug availability and anchor at the ready.

4th GWS Seminar / Training for Onboard Staff (September 10th to 12th) In keeping with our Mission Statement, Safety has always been our priority No 1 and to accomplish this, one of the tasks we have taken aggressively is the training of our sea farers. In addition to a permanent Marine and Operations training Superintendent travelling between ships, we have regular training sessions at our recruitment centres. The 4th such training session was conducted at Manila from 10th to 12th October 2012. The training seminars are intended to illustrate the regulatory and Chemical tanker operational requirement in the industry as well as to update onboard staff about recent regulatory changes. The attendees are the messengers and carry their newly updated knowledge and skills to pass to others onboard thus improving the overall fleet standard. Currently GWS holds 3 Training Seminars yearly and the seminars are followed by up to 3 days of focussed training courses. The latest training Seminar of the year focused mostly on chemical tanker operational matters and was targeted for Officers from the fleet. These Officers, currently on leave, travelled from the Provinces sacrificing their time with their beloved. We are thankful to them and their families for the devotion which is the driving force of us to work. Three Japanese Deck Officers also attended the Training Program. The training Program was held at PTSC office conference room, Manila. The Training seminar was Programmed and Co-ordinated by Capt. M. Khan. From Green Wave Shipping Capt. M. Khan, Mr. MEM Zaidi & Mr. Animesh Bassi attended. From the Owner’s office Capt. K. Hazemoto, Capt. E. Takayasu & Mr. M. Saruya attended the Seminar. The Training Seminar covered specific topics (Training Framework) such as MARPOL regulation, Tank Cleaning, Safety in Nitrogen Handling, Recent accidents & Case studies, Various Technical matters, VMOS etc. Due to our trade Pattern and frequent calls to Japanese ports we felt the need to provide further education for our staff on ‘Navigation in Inland sea, Japan’. We had some of the best Teachers to deliver lecture on it, Capt. Hazemoto and Capt. E. Takayasu who have long practical experience navigating these areas. Mr. MEM Zaidi kept the participants busy discussing various maintenance issues whereas Mr. Animesh spoke at length regarding our Planned Maintenance System, VMOSnet. We has also invited Capt. Pusta who has decades of experience onboard Chemical tankers to share his knowledge and experience with our staff. The valuable contribution from our trainers makes the Training Program very successful. We are thankful to our lecturers, the attendees and all PTSC staff for making the arrangements. All Participants from the fleet were awarded In house Training attendance certificate.

WHO IS ??????
ANIMESH BASSI
“Everybody possesses the capability to do everything. All you need to do is, realize the fact and act upon it.” Animesh joined us in 2011 and began by taking up the task to implement a real-time ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) System called the VMOS. Within the 1 year that Animesh spent at GWS, he has implemented the VMOS on all 9 ships in the GWS fleet. “A young man with ideas”, these words best describe his character and perception in Green Wave. Born on the West Coast on India, in Mumbai in 1988, Animesh had an in-born passion for the sea. This passion took its course in 2006, when he received full scholarship to train with AET as a deck cadet. Following the training on crude oil tankers with extensive STS operations, he cleared his examinations for Class 3 COC (Deck) from Malaysia, ranking in the top 15 of his batch of 185 cadets. As a third officer on a product tanker, at the age of 22, Animesh was already handling responsibilities and delivering results His energetic and dynamic personality has been well accepted by people in office and onboard. His hard work and patience have allowed this system to bud from an idea to a necessity. Training ship staff during office briefing and sailing visits has been the key to this success. Additionally, gaining the cooperation of the ship staff has also been a great contribution to the success of VMOS. Apart from keeping pace with the increasing requirements of the VMOS, Animesh has also assisted with the creation of the new company SMS. Combining industry with intelligence and strategy with skills, the new SMS is expected to bring about a revolution in GWS management. “There is still much to learn”, was his reply when asked about his future. His plan to gain formal education in Management is strong. Furthermore, he intends to remain a part of the shipping industry and hopefully give back to the world through participation in programmes aimed at the development of the community. Animesh is a follower of Manchester United F.C. and a regular soccer player himself. His other interests include cricket, music, table tennis, squash and computer gaming.
