Polish divers ready to defuse large WWII bomb
Oct 13 13:53


Location of the bomb in Swinoujście area

On Monday, Polish Navy divers began a five-day operation to defuse the largest unexploded World War Two bomb ever found in Poland.
As a precautionary measure, more than 750 people had to evacuate their homes.
To anyone knowing the history of World War Two and the weapons used in the same, the Tallboy bomb used by the British was one of the most bizarre, but effective bombs developed. It had been famously dubbed as the 'earthquake' bomb. In use by the British Royal Air Force(RAF) during the last stages of the war, it weighs nearly 5,400 kg, including 2,400 kg of explosive.
In the Polish port city of Swinoujście (Świnoujście), workers discovered the bomb while deepening the fairway, during construction work in September 2019.
The type of Tallboy found is known as 'dud'. Previously, duds have been recovered from the shipping channel between Swinoujscie and Stettin (Szczecin) several times, but this is the first time that such a heavy object has been dealt with.


A yellow buoy marks the bomb's location near a ferry crossing

Nobody has ever defused a Tallboy that is so well preserved and underwater, so this would be the world's first such attempt.
Civilian evacuation from an estimated area of 1.6 miles around the bomb has taken place. The operation will last for an estimated five days, as per the Polish Navy.
Maritime traffic on the navigation channel and surrounding waterways will be suspended in an area of 16 kilometers around the bomb disposal operation.
"The first two or three days will be preparations. Our bomb disposal divers will scrape around the bomb, which is embedded in the bottom of the channel at a depth of 12 meters. Only its nose is sticking out, " said Grezegorz Lewandowski, spokesman for the Polish Navy's 8th Coastal Defence Flotilla based in Swinoujscie.
The job is a very delicate one, as even the tiniest of vibration can set off the bomb. A controlled explosion scenario has been ruled out by the Navy, on pretext of a bridge located some 500 metres from the site.


Tallboy bombs were dropped by RAF Lancaster bombers

For this reason, the Navy would use a technique known as deflagration to burn the explosive charge without causing a detonation, using a remotely controlled device to pierce through the shell to begin combustion.
Tallboys were designed to explode underground next to a target, triggering shock waves that would cause destruction.
During World War II the area was home to one of the German navy's most important Baltic bases and the area was subjected to massive bombardments. This is the reason why the bomb was found in there.

FV LA PRESQUILE Trawler in trouble
Oct 13 14:06
On Oct 13 at 12:09 a.m., the CROSS Jobourg receives a mayday call from the fishing vessel 'La Presqu’ile'indicating a major water ingress on board. The ship was 12 nautical miles  northwest of Fécamp with four crew members on board. The CROSS immediately broadcasted a Mayday relay. The fishing vessels 'Marie Galante I' and 'Daniel Auguste' then diverted to provide assistance. The CROSS dployed a Caïman helicopter of the French Navy base in Maupertus and the lifeboat 'President Pierre Huby' of the SNSM station in Le Havre. Despite difficult weather conditions with rough seas, the helicopter dropped off a diver aboard the vessel who noted that the water ingress was too strong to be controlled by the available pumps. Following a consultation with the CROSS Jobourg, it was then decided to evacuate the four fishermen to the Fécamp semaphore of the French Navy. The CROSS also initiated a conference call with the SAMU in Toulouse and the Seine-Maritime departmental fire and rescue center. A reception by the firefighters is recommended.
At 2:14 a.m., the four fishermen were hoisted on board the Caiman helicopter and transported to the Fécamp semaphore. They were dropped off at 2:21 a.m. where they are taken care of by the firefighters.
The CROSS asked the fishing vessel 'Marie Galante I' to remain near the 'La Presquîle' until the arrival of the SNSM boat from Le Havre. Following the agreement of the port authorities of Le Havre, it was decided to pull the 'Presqu’ile' back to the port of Antifer. The convoy arrives safely at the port at 9:50 a.m.

HELEN MARY ROS 785  Trawler in standoff with Greenpeace
Oct 13 20:39




The crew of the 'Helen Mary' warned against trawling in the Central Fladen protected area, east of Scotland by Greenpeace campaigners who had climbed on board the vessel. Activists on board the Greenpeace ship 'Esperanza' sailed up to the ship and informed its captain the vessel was in a Marine Protected Area (MPA). The conservationists said its request for the ship to stop fishing in the region was ignored.. Several activists were abseiling down the side of the vessel and put up a red banner which read “Ban supertrawlers now!” Amid the stand-off, fishing deterrents were also placed in the vessels nets before the German-flagged boat left the area. The Pelagic Freezer-trawler Association, which represents the interests of nine European pelagic freezer-trawler companies, including firms in Germany, has denied the vessel was doing anything against the rules.

The world's first Zero-Emission Bunker Tankers are on their way
Oct 14 00:02
Japanese owner Asahi Tanker has announced a bold new plan to build the world’s first two zero-emissions electric bunker tankers.
In August last year, Asahi, along with Exeno Yamamizu, MOL, and Mitsubishi jointly formed the e5 Laboratories. The e5 Laboratories will now design the revolutionary vessel, which has already been dubbed as a giant leap when it comes to reducing carbon footprint in the commercial shipping industry.
The two tankers will adopt the “e5 tanker” design developed by e5 Labs Inc.
The very reason why these Japanese conglomerates came to develop the e5 Laboratories last year is to develop electrically powered ships that provide a platform for services that takes advantage of electrically powered vessels and other cutting-edge technologies.
The said tankers, upon construction, will enter service in Tokyo Bay as bunker vessels after delivery between March 2022 to March 2023.
Powered by large-capacity lithium-ion batteries, the two tankers will achieve zero emissions of CO2, NOx, SOx, and particulates due to the all-electric core energy system.
Apart from environmental concerns, noise pollution caused by the ships will get reduced considerably, too. Due to the all-electric system onboard, reduced noise and vibration will create a more comfortable work environment for the crew members. During port stays, port officials can expect limited noise pollution, too!
Additionally, the vessels will adopt digitalization, automation, and Internet of Things (IoT) technology to reduce crew workload and improve operational efficiency.
Japanese shipbuilders Koa Sangyo Co and Imura Zosen KK will be in charge of constructing one vessel each, while Kawasaki Heavy Industries will serve as the system integrator for the duo.
An urgent issue that the coastal shipping sector faces is sustainability and improved workplace for crew members onboard. Asahi Tanker and e5 Lab will jointly engineer the sustainability factor through the development and introduction of these advanced ships.



Here are some of the specs of the electric tankers:

Length: 62 m  
Breadth: 10.30 m
Draft: 4.15 m

Cargo Fuel: oil
