Oct 11 23:55
The crew of the 'Luisa Cáceres de Arismendi', which transports gasoline from the El Palito refinery, has been arrested with a shipment of 20,000 barrels of gasoline that cannot be unloaded because the standards of the World Health Organization have not been met. The ship has been moored on the Puerto de La Cruz anchorage since Oct 4, 2020. The tankers 'Paramaconi' and 'Tamanaco' were in the same situation. The crew of the tankers were subjected to inhumane working conditions with rationed water and food, without medical care, no provision of safety equipment and, despite the fact that they remained on board for six continuous months, they earn 400.000 bolivars weekly. The ships were in precarious conditions, reaching almost operational collapse, to the extent that the gasoline discharge pipes have deteriorated.

KARNIKA Remaining crew running out of everything
Oct 12 00:26
The crew of the 'Karnika' said on Oct 9, 2020, that they had power back-up to last only 36 hours. For the past week, they have survived on cornflakes for breakfast, paani-puri for lunch and burgers for dinner as food stock is depleting fast. 42 men have refused to disembark the ship caught in a legal wrangle and abandoned by its owners for all practical purposes for almost a month now, fearing they will not be paid their dues if they leave the vessel.
The Director General, Shipping, Amitabh Kumar, received complaints on Oct 8 about non-payment of dues to the crew and planned send officers of my Marine Mercantile Department to the ship to conduct an investigation
Apart from being placed under arrest by the Bombay Port Trust following non-payment of dues, the vessel was also under arbitration at the Bombay High Court (HC) because of unpaid bills to vendors. The crew members, who were called to carry routine maintenance, after the ship docked in August were kept in the dark about the legal troubles by Mumbai, Khar-based Campbell Shipping Pvt Ltd, which holds the recruitment and placements services license for the vessel. The crew has not been paid since August and according to them the total arrears stand at over $ 227986.
The dues of vendors mounted because of the devastation wrought upon the cruise industry by the COVID-19 pandemic. The creditors arrested the ship through the Admiralty Court. The  crew members were assured that they will receive their salaries as soon as the funds are received.

Global Mercy Wärtsilä powers world’s largest NGO hospital ship
Oct 12 08:11
The technology group Wärtsilä announced today that Mercy Ships, a philanthropic organisation providing essential healthcare to needy patients in developing countries, will be utilizing its engine technology in the organisation’s new hospital ship.
When completed, the Global Mercy will be the world’s largest vessel of its kind, and will be powered by four Wärtsilä 32 engines. Wärtsilä will also provide a five-year services maintenance agreement, .
The comprehensive agreement covers parts, field service, asset monitoring, and full technical support to keep the hospital ship running at all times. Mercy Ships expects to take delivery in 2021, and the ship’s maiden voyage is planned later in the year to Africa where crew will provide vital surgical care at no cost.
The Wärtsilä engines are double resilient mounted, and comply with the DNV VIBR vibration classification. This smooth running capability is of special importance for a hospital ship with onboard surgical operations taking place. The supporting maintenance contract is part of the company’s Lifecycle Solutions offering. It provides guaranteed operational reliability with performance targets determined from measured data. The measurable indicators can include, for example, availability, reliability, and fuel consumption. The agreed targets are reached through automated key performance measurements, optimised maintenance, and remote advisory.
How was it adjusted to be a floating hospital?
“At Wärtsilä we are proud to be partnering with Mercy Ships and to be providing the power for this ground-breaking vessel. Because of its function as a floating hospital, special considerations have had to be taken into account, and we have worked closely with the owners and the yard to ensure that all requirements are met. As a global corporation, we are committed to supporting sustainable societies. We are therefore both honoured and humbled to join forces with Mercy Ships, and to support it in successfully carrying out its valuable humanitarian work,” says Jaakko Eskola, President and CEO of Wärtsilä Corporation.
“The Global Mercy is a fully purpose-built ship with state-of-the-art technology. In order to secure an uninterrupted power supply onboard the vessel, it was important that we have high quality engines available. The Wärtsilä 32 engines supported by the extensive maintenance agreement, provide this assurance, which will help us as we carry out our mission to bring hope and healing to the forgotten poor and to positively impact global healthcare. We welcome Wärtsilä as a one of our key suppliers in enabling this work,” says Russ Holmes, Director of Corporate Development of Mercy Ships.
Previous hospital ships have all been conversions from passenger ships and other vessels. The 174 metres long, 37,000 ton Global Mercy is a one-of-a-kind ship. It features 12 decks, two of which are for the hospital, including six operating theatres, 102 acute care beds, and 90 self-care beds. The vessel accommodates a crew of up to 641 volunteers, and additional space can host up to 950 people at any one time when in port.
Another hospital vessel of Mercy Ships is AFRICA MERCY, build in 1980.
