BMT Group to Assist Nicaragua Canal Developers
BMT Asia Pacific and BMT ARGOSS, subsidiaries of BMT Group Ltd,
have been appointed by Hong Kong Nicaragua Canal Development Group (HKND Group) to undertake a
series of marine and port assessments for the Nicaragua Canal. The signing ceremony was held in the headquarters of HKND Group in Hong Kong.

BMT will assist the development and validation of the Canal’s design and operations through a structured framework.
“Our Study will seek to articulate a solution that minimizes canal excavation while ensuring adequate canal capacity and safety,”
said Dr Richard D Colwill, Managing Director at BMT Asia Pacific.
“A crucial part of that solution involves sophisticated navigation and transport simulation,
which will set the basis for identifying a design that balances excavation CAPEX with operational safety, efficiency and capacity.” Navigation simulators recreate typical scenarios that a ship master would experience and BMT’s proprietary simulator,
REMBRANDT, is widely recognized by the shipping sector for its accurate and detailed recreations of the navigation environment.
“Through REMBRANDT, BMT will provide early and decisive insight on potential marine constraints,
enabling us to identify appropriate mitigation and optimization measures – be it physical or operational in nature,” Captain Paul Morter of BMT ARGOSS said.
In addition to carrying out operational assessments, BMT will also update the business case for the Canal’s Pacific and Caribbean ocean ports.

German Warship Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Collided With Container ship Nordic Bremen in Kiel Canal
A German warship collided with a containership in Germany’s Kiel Canal early Wednesday morning December 9,
causing damage to both vessels.
Reports say the German Navy frigate Mecklenburg-Vorpommern collided with the Cyprus-flagged containership Nordic Bremen at 2:42 UTC. Images: shz.de / Schroder
The main deck of the navy ship was torn open on a length of four meters.
The warship berthed in Brunsbüttel at 9.30 a.m. local time for inspections. She was underway from the Baltic Sea to its base in Wilhelmshaven when the accident occurred.
The container ship was moored in the East Shore Port in Kiel following the collision.
The Nordic Bremen was also damaged along with some of its containerized cargo. The vessel was en route from port of Rotterdam to Helsinki. The accident was thought to have been caused by a wind gust.

Livestock carrier Girolando Express loaded with over 4000 cattles stranded in Port Phillip Bay
A ship carrying live cattle is stranded in Port Phillip Bay (southern Victoria, Australia) after breaking down at the weekend.
The Singapore-flagged livestock carrier Girolando Express left Geelong for Huanghua in China on December 6,
but only made it as far as Portarlington. Image: Robert Weber
There are 4245 cattle on board, a spokeswoman for the Australian Maritime Safety Authority confirmed.
It is understood the cattle include breeding stock.
"All the livestock services remain operational and the vessel is safely anchored in Port Phillip Bay," the spokeswoman said.
"The master has reported the main engine turbocharger has failed."
The ship has been anchored about six kilometres off Portarlington.
A repair technician is on board and the parts required to fix the engine problem are due to arrive on Friday.
Once repaired, the ship is expected to head back to Geelong to pick up more feed for the livestock before resuming its journey to China.

Freighter Alpena heavily damaged by fire in Sturgeon Bay, Wis, U.S.
In the evening of December 11, 2015, a fire broke out in the superstructure of the 519-foot freighter Alpena. Image by: Brian Wroblewski
According to Bay Shipbuilding Co. vice president and general manager Todd Thayse, the ship was in the yard for a two-week inspection.
It was in dry dock since December 5 for its five-year maintenance inspection, Herlache said.
Firefighters were called at 6 p.m.local time. First units on scene reported heavy smoke coming from the stern of the vessel.
At least 100 firefighters from nine fire departments all across Door County were at the Scene.
They used water to put out the fire and used an aerial truck to get water up onto the ship. The dining area, the cafeteria and some staterooms on the ship were all heavily damaged by the blaze.
The investigation into the cause will begin once the fire was extinguished and the interior was ventilated.
Firefighters remained on scene overnight and vacated the scene early Saturday morning.

The U.S Navy’s newest ship USS Milwaukee breaks down, limps into port
The littoral combat ship USS Milwaukee, the U.S. Navy’s newest ship, broke down Dec. 11 and had to be
towed more than 40 nautical miles to Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek, Virginia.
The ship suffered an engineering casualty while transiting from Halifax, Canada, to Mayport, Florida,
and ultimately its home port of San Diego. The cause is being evaluated by ship’s crew and technical consultants.
Initial indications are that fine metal debris collected in the lube oil filter caused the system to shut down,
according to a Navy statement provided to Navy Times. The cause of the metal debris in the lube oil system is not known and assessments are ongoing.
The ship was commissioned Nov. 21 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and has been making the long trek to San Diego through the Great Lakes since. Problems with the propulsion plant began almost as soon as Milwaukee got underway from Halifax.
The ship’s computer system triggered an alarm and the ship called away an engineering casualty.
Engineers cleaned out the metal filings from the lube oil filter and locked the port shaft as a precaution.
In the early hours of Friday morning, the ship was conducting steering tests and lost lube oil pressure in the starboard
combining gear due to the presence of the same metal filings in that filter.

Va. on Friday, December 11, 2015. LCS-5 suffered an engine casualty while in transit. (Credit: Mike Morones/Staff)
The metal filings in the lube oil have not been a class-wide issue, according to the Navy.
The ship then dropped anchor while the engineers worked on the system. By mid-morning,
the salvage ship Grapple rendezvoused with Milwaukee and connected a towing hawser line for the trip back to Little Creek.
The warship is currently manned by Crew 104, and was scheduled to swap with Crew 108 in Mayport.
The crews will now swap in Virginia while the ship’s system is repaired.
News of the breakdown reached Capitol Hill by late Friday.
Sen.John McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement to Navy Times
that the plant issues were troubling and called for accountability.
“Reporting of a complete loss of propulsion on USS Milwaukee (LCS 5) is deeply alarming,
particularly given this ship was commissioned just 20 days ago,” McCain said. “U.S. Navy ships are built with
redundant systems to enable continued operation in the event of an engineering casualty, which makes this incident very concerning.
I expect the Navy to conduct a thorough investigation into the root causes of this failure, hold individuals accountable as appropriate,
and keep the Senate Armed Services Committee informed.”

Novel boxship design makes debut
An innovative new containership design has debuted in Japan.
Imoto Lines has recently taken delivery of its largest ship to date, the 136 m long, 540 teu Natori which comes with
a spherical accommodation block at the front of the vessel. Built by Kyokuyo Shipyard the accommodation block is designed, the yard says, to reduce wind resistance.
The shipyard has built car carriers with similar bow designs in the past. Source: Splash 24/7

Innovative Bow Design for Japanese Container Ship
The vessel is 136.25m long with a beam of 21m. According to Kyokuyo the bow design will save 5 per cent
fuel consumption under average sea conditions by reducing wind pressure by 30 per cent compared with conventional hull shapes.
The bridge and accommodation area are integrated into the forepart to ensure better visibility and crew comfort,
by minimising the impact of noise and vibration from the machinery. The design also helps maximise the container loading efficiency.
The vessel features a high efficiency propeller, fuel saving paint, and a fuel oil piping system that prevents oil spills when bunkering.
