Know about PORT STATE CONTROL Under Chapter 13

PORT STATE CONTROL
CHAPTER 13

INTRODUCTION

  • All ships engaged in commercial trading need to be registered in a Country which identifies its owners. The Country of registration is termed as the 'Flag State'. It is the duty of the Flag State to ensure that a vessel entitled to fly its flag is safely constructed, equipped and subsequently properly maintained & manned as per relevant regulations based on International Conventions developed by International Maritime Organization. For this purpose the Flag state carries out surveys & Inspections on the vessels under its Registry for issue of various statutory Certificates. These Certificates are mandatory for the vessels, intended trading. Many developed Maritime nations have adequate Maritime Administrative infrastructure to undertake this task while many others who lack this capability for various reasons, delegate authority to recognized Classification Societies to carry out most of such surveys & issue Certificates on their behalf.
     

  • Ships trade internationally and have to call at various ports all over the world. many ships may not call at any of their home ports for a considerable period and it is possible that during a certain period of time Ship's Certificates may not have been renewed or maintenance in general has suffered due to various reasons. Therefore, it is imperative that ships must be inspected at various ports to ensure compliance with rule requirements as regards safety, maintenance, manning, etc. This control is termed as Port State Control.

 

  • The Fundamental aim of Port State Control is to eliminate Sub-standard ships in order to ensure safer ships and cleaner oceans. The main philosophy to the port state control is to identify sub-standard ships at any port and corrective action taken before they are allowed to proceed to sail. Provision for control emanates from the following IMO instruments:-

    1. Reg. 19 - Chapter 1 of SOLAS Convention 1974 as amended.

    2. International Convention of Load Line 1966 & its Protocol.

    3. International Convention for Prevention of Marine Pollution from ships (MARPOL) 73/78.

    4. International Convention of STCW 1978 as amended.

    5. International Regulations for preventing Collisions at sea (COLREG) 1972.

    6. International Labour organization (ILO) convention No. 147.

These provisions provide for control procedures to be followed by the contracting Governments with regard to foreign flag vessels visiting their ports. The effective use of the provisions enable the State Authorities in identifying Sub-Standard Ships and ensuring that remedial measures are taken for the deficiencies identified by them. Ships of the countries which are not party to the various International Conventions can also be subjected to equivalent inspections to ensure commensurate level of safety. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted various Resolutions giving guidelines on such inspections. The guidelines also provide that all possible efforts should be made to avoid a ship being unduly detained or delayed. However, wherever necessary Sub-Standard Ships are detained and corrective action taken before allowing them to sail out to sea.

  • In order to implement effective Port State Control, 15 EEC countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding in March 1978 at Paris which came into force in 1982. Similarly, 10 Latin American countries signed an agreement in November 1992. Recently Asia Pacific Memorandum of Understanding has been signed by 17 countries of Asia Pacific. Thus practical all major maritime countries are party to one agreement or the other for implementation of Port State Control. There are proposals before the Government of India that India should also join the Asia Pacific Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control or alternatively develop Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control in Indian ocean region. India has taken initiative for the latter.

  • Practically it is not very simple to define a substandard ship solely by reference to a list of qualifying defects. The Surveyor has to exercise his professional judgment to determine whether the ship is to be detained until the deficiencies are corrected or allowed to sail with certain deficiencies which are not vital to the safety of the ship, its crew or passengers, having regard to the particular circumstances of the intended voyage. Parties may undertake an inspection based on their initiative or at the request of, or on the basis of information provided regarding a sub-standard ship by another party, professional body, port authorities or even a member of the crew of the ship. The Surveyor boards the ship and after introduction to the Master proceeds to examine the various certificates regarding their validity, annual endorsements and any outstanding deficiencies or condition of class. The Surveyor ensures, that various provisions stated in the IMO Conventions regulations are maintained up-to-date and in case of any defect he may not allow the ship to sail till the deficiencies are corrected. In the event of a dispute, the onus of providing that undue delay was not caused rests with the Port State is Administration. In case an intervention by Port State is necessary and vessel is detained due to serious deficiencies the Administration is required inform the Embassy/Consulate of the Flag State and Classification Society with which the vessel is classed. In due course this information along with list of deficiencies is also to be conveyed to the International Maritime Organization for further action. IMO in turn scrutinizes the Information and forward the same to the concerned Flag State for removing deficiencies in future. The report received from the Maritime authorities around the world regarding Indian vessels are checked by the Maritime Administration of the country and suitable steps are taken up to improve the overall deficiency of the ship in consultation with the respective shipping companies.

SEAMEN'S EMPLOYMENT OFFICES AND FUNCTIONS.

online engineering degree/engineering degree online/online engineering courses/engineering technology online/engineering courses online/engineering technician degree online/online engineering technology/electronic engineering online

SEAMEN'S EMPLOYMENT OFFICES

CHAPTER 20
  • The Government of India have set up Seamen's employment offices in Mumbai and Calcutta, the major ports for regulating recruitment of seamen in India, in march 1954 and January 1955 respectively. Although the Seamen's Employment Scheme was originally intended to cover the employment of Indian seamen only on foreign going ships, it was extended later to Home Trade seamen at Mumbai in the year 1957 and in Calcutta in the year 1960.

  • The main functions of Seamen's Employment Offices are:-

    (a) Laying down, streamlining the procedure for recruitment of seamen and ensuring procedures thereon.
    (b) Equitable distribution of available volume of employment among the effective seamen on principles of:
     

      i. Rotation according to the date of last dischargeii. Reasonable choice to shipowners in the selection of their crew.iii..Reasonable freedom to seamen to refuse a particular ship for particular reason so that:-
      a) seafarer has a direct approach to his job and retain all his rightful dues; b)  A shipowners  gets the right man for the job;iv. to attend to matters relating to promotion of seamen or charge of their categories;v. to maintain registers of seamen in respect of various categories prescribed under the rules;vi. to process the registration of seamen and issue of registration books andvii. to attend to cancellation of registration of seamen on the following grounds;

  • a) Retirement on attaining the age of superannuation (60) years or voluntary retirement on attaining 50 years of age;
  • b) On being declared permanently unfit or seamen's own request;
  • c) Death;
  • d) Disciplinary grounds - as recommended by the Disciplinary Sub-Committee of the S.E.B.
    • No charge is being levied by the Seamen's Employment Office for doing the service in regard to the supply of seamen either on the seamen or on the shipowners.

    • There is a Seamen's Employment board at the port of Mumbai and Calcutta. The Seamen's Employment Board at Mumbai is headed by the Director General of shipping, while at Calcutta it is headed by the Principal Officer, Mercantile marine Department, Calcutta. Besides the Government nominees the shipowners and seafarers are the members of the Seamen's Employment Board. This is a policy making body relating to the seamen's employment Offices and gives direction for the smooth functioning of these offices. It prescribes guidelines for compassionate appointment of seamen, procedure regarding recruitment and selection of seamen, prescribing education and age criteria for entering into seafaring profession etc.

    • The conditions of service including level of wages for different categories of seamen are negotiated between the shipowners wanting to engage Indian seamen in accordance with M.S. Act and Unions of seamen bilaterally under the umbrella of National Maritime Board which consists of representatives of Shipowners and seafarers. One of the important features of the agreement is that the companies having company roster should implement decasualisation scheme under which the seamen on their roster will retain their work force and there would be a system of payment not only on board ships but even during leave period ashore at specified rate which amount to the seamen being paid through out by their respective companies themselves. The existing National Maritime Board Agreement governing the interest of shipowners and seafarers specify that the companies who maintain the company roster should necessarily opt for the above said scheme which is otherwise called Retainer Scheme. During the period under report the Government after examining all the aspects involved therein approved continuation of the Retainer Scheme until further orders.

    • Retainer Scheme:

    • The conditions of service including level of wages for different categories of seamen are negotiated between the shipowners and the Unions of the Seafarers' bilaterally under the umbrella of National Maritime Board, which consists of representatives of both sides. The agreement is entered into every two years. The agreement concluded in April 1990 stipulated that those Companies having company rosters would implement decasualisation scheme under which seamen on their rosters will remain in the work force of the respective companies and there would be a system of payment not only on board ships but even during leave period ashore at specified rates, which amounts to the seamen being paid through out by the companies.

    • The decasualisation system or the retainer scheme as it is known was discussed in the 52nd meeting of the Seamen's Employment Board (Foreign Going), Bombay which strongly recommended that the D G Shipping may issue statuary orders invoking provisions of Section 456 of the M.S. Act, 1958 to exempt company roster seamen from the specific provisions of the M.S. (Seamen's Employment Offices) Rules, 1986 subject to fulfillment of some conditions.

    • Taking all the above circumstances into account, D G Shipping accepted the recommendation of the Board and issued SEO Order No. 32, dated 12.11.1992 exempting some Shipping companies having their roster from going through the SEO for selection and recruitment of crew for a period of one year. Later on the Ministry of Surface Transport has granted permission for continuation of the Retainer Scheme until further orders. There is a proposal to amend Section 95(2), which provided that the seamen should be supplied by Seamen's Employment Office. The amendment of the Section would give the statuary backing to the retainer scheme or decasualisation scheme.

    • With the introduction of decasualisation scheme the Shipping Companies or group of Shipping Companies who are having their company rosters of seamen would be monitoring the system of sending calls to the seamen for selection, making the selection and preparing a list of selected seamen for placing on board ship which hitherto was required to be done by the Seamen's Employment Offices.

    Surveys and inspections for issue of Cargo ships safety equipment certificate and cargo ship safety Radio Telegraphy certificate to cargo ships and for issue of Passenger ship certificate are carried out by surveyors of the Mercantile Marine Departments principally at the ports of Jamnagar, Mumbai, Goa, Chennai, Cochin, Visakhapatnam, Calcutta, Port Blair and Tuticorin.
    1. Surveys and inspections for ensuring that the vessel complies with Cargo ship constructions rules and the loadline rules are also carried out by the Surveyor of the Mercantile Marine Departments. However, notified classification societies have been authorised to issue international load line certificate. They are also authorised to issue a short-term cargo ships safety construction certificate of six months duration only. Classification societies are required to submit reports of inspection of cargo ships to Principal Officers of Mercantile Marine Departments, who, if satisfied in all respects, will issue cargo safety construction certificate for period as recommended by the surveyor of for such shorter period as deemed fit by him.

    2. ISM Code – Considering that around 80% of all shipping accidents are caused by human error and that act or omission of a human being plays some part in virtually every accident, including those where structural of equipment failure may be the immediate cause, the IMO has developed International Management Code for the safe operation of ships and for pollution prevention (ISM Code). The ISM code establishes an international standard for the safe Management & operation of ships by setting rules for the organisation of company management and for safe management and operation of ships in relation to safety and pollution prevention and for the implementation of a safety management system (SMS). Under this code a shipping company is expected to qualify for a document of compliance and a safety management certificate for each of their vessels. The documents used to describe and implement the SMS is referred to as the "Safety Management Manual". Documentation should be kept in a form that the company considers most effective. Each ship should carry on board all documentation relevant to that ship. The code is becoming effective for Passenger vessels, Tankers, Chemical carriers, bulk carriers from July' 98 and for others not later than July 2002. It is being included in SOLAS as chapter IX. The G.O.I. will partially delegate this work to the recognised organisations, however, control will remain with Administration.

    1. Surveys - Procedure to be followed:

    2. Procedure for surveys :- The Master, shipowners and their agents requiring the services of a surveyor of the Mercantile Marine Department shall apply to that Department at least 3 days in advance on form survey I after paying the prescribed fees.  If the survey  is to be made at a port not designated in para 15.8.1 then the application should be made as much as in advance as is possible and in any case not less 7 days prior to the date of survey. This is necessary, as prior arrangements with respect to work and travelling arrangements have to be made before a surveyor leaves his headquarters.

    3. Preparation for survey: - The shipowner or his representative should, prior to the date of a survey, keep in touch with the Surveyor concerned, so that Surveyor's instructions if any, in respect of the preparation for the survey can be carried out. In order to save time of the Surveyor as well as that of the ship, it is considered essential that the parts of the ships to be inspected should be ready in all respects. At every inspection or survey, the shipowners representatives should at all times be present. Addition to the normal facilities for washing and changing, Surveyors should at all times be provided with safe access to areas that he is required to inspect.

    4. Documents required – The Surveyors when examining / inspecting any items of ship equipment or any part of the ship or its machinery shall be guided by the documents provided on board the ship as (a) approved plans indicating the state of the ship when first built showing any changes therein subsequently with prior approval  (Approved as fitted plans and changes approved subsequently)   (b) list of equipment shown in documents such as record of safety equipment and (c) any other documents approved by the Government. Such documents should at all time be kept ready for perusal of the Surveyor.

    5. Frequency of visits :- Surveys are generally carried out in two parts Viz. (a) when a surveyor examines for the first time the patys of ship, its machinery or items of equipment and details out to the shipowners representatives a list of the deficiencies that he has observed and the defects and repairs which require to be carried out. (b) when the deficiencies pointed out by the surveyor are rectified, and the surveyor ensure that the repairs and renewals have been carried out satisfactorily. In case of safety equipment surveys, a short visit is also necessary when a surveyor witnesses the boat and fire drills carried out on board under the direction of the Master. As far as possible all items that are to be inspected on any one ship by any surveyor should be ready at the same time.

    1. Deficiencies Found During Survey:

    2. Deficiencies – As stated in para 15.9.4 after a surveyor has conveyed the deficiencies and defects and his recommendation therefor, the owner's representative shall ensure that same is rectified and shall not, irrespective of the validity of the existing certificate, permit the vessel to sail.

    3. Procedure when deficiencies cannot be rectified – Where a ship owners representative is unable to rectify the defects for reasons beyond his control or carryout recommendation without undue delay to the ship or without making undue alteration in the gear or structural arrangements involved he will inform the surveyor giving the reason why it is not possible to reasonably comply with the same. He should also state the alternative arrangements if any that is proposed to be made.

    4. Alternative arrangements - The surveyor on receipt of the communication described in 15.10.2 irrespective of whether the survey is complete or not inspect the item concerned. If the alternative proposed do not comply with the rules he shall forward a report in respect thereof to the Director General through Principal Officer, MMD as early as possible for approval. Such report should include the Surveyor's observation and his recommendation on the alternative arrangements proposed.

    5. Grants of exemption – On receipt of the report of the surveyor, the Directorate shall consider the report for approval. Where this involves granting an exemption, the period for which it is valid and the condition of its validity shall be stated. Each case of exemption shall be dealt with on its own merits and no exemption shall be considered to be a precedent. If an exemption has a period of validity the statutory certificate issued therewith shall carry similar validity.

    6. Expiry of terms of exemption: At the expiry of the term for which the exemption certificate was issued, the surveyor at the port where such period expires shall on application by the shipowner carry out an inspection and shall report to the Director General whether the defect / recommendation have been rectified / carried out and if not reasons of the shipowner along with his recommendations in respect of its extension.

    7. Short term exemptions – Exemption for short term are granted only to facilitate the shipowner to sail the ship without unreasonable delay or to arrange planning of repairs in a rational way. Shipowners are therefore strongly advised to comply with the condition of exemption and to ensure completion of recommendation / alteration within the exemption period.

    8. Whenever exemptions are issued on permanent basis with or without condition for any statutory requirement an exemption certificate shall be granted along with the relevant certificate as provided for in Section 316(1)(aa). Section 302 and Section 303(1B).

    1. Extension of Certificates:

    2. Extension of certificates in India - In Indian waters: Whenever a vessel is in port in India with an expired statutory certificate and it is not possible to carry out the survey due to non-availability of necessary repair facilities or other causes, the Principal Officer concerned may permit the ship to proceed from that port to another port of survey in India. Such extensions shall not exceed a period of one month.

    3. Extension of certificates abroad - Whenever an Indian ship arrives at a port abroad and her certificate is likely to expire, the Master shall intimate the nearest Indian Consular officer authorised to deal with extension of certificates telegraphically giving him details of further voyage. The Consular Officer on receipt of this information shall extend the certificate for an adequate period to enable the vessel to return to a port in India but in no case shall such period exceed five months. Where a vessel is not likely to return to India, the Consular Officer may either request the local administration at that port for a survey and issue of an appropriate certificate on behalf of the Government of India or extend the certificate to enable the vessel to reach her next port of call where such survey facilities are available.

    1. Damages affecting validity of certificates:

    2. Damages or Casualties to ships abroad: - Whenever a ship has sustained damages or caused any accident Masters of ships shall be guided by the contents of Section 350. Whenever a ship is abroad the report shall be sent to the Principal Officer, Mercantile Marine Department at the port of registry with a copy to the Director General of Shipping and the report in such case should state whether the validity of any of the certificates was affected. This should also be reported to the nearest Indian Consular Officer who will arrange the vessel to be surveyed by a Surveyor of the local administration if necessary.

    3. Damage done to ships enroute to India or in India - If the ship is due to arrive in India or is at an Indian port when the damage is caused, the Master shall inform the Principal Officer, Mercantile Marine Department of the district concerned, who will arrange for an appropriate inspection by a surveyor to supervise the repairs and renewals to ensure that the vessel is satisfactory in all respects. Masters are advised that whenever machinery hull or equipment is damaged to an extent where they seriously affect the validity of statutory certificates and therefore seaworthiness they should as far as possible make for the nearest port commensurate with safety and the intended voyage.

    1. Inspections for issue of other statutory certificates:

    2. Miscellaneous Inspections: Registration: (See also Chapter VI) under Rule 5 of M. S. Registration of Indian ships a Surveyor is required to survey a vessel.

    These surveys are

    1. To carry out measurement of tonnage and

    2. To ensure that the vessel complies with M. S. Crew Accommodation Regulations.

    On full compliance the Surveyor shall issue a certificate of survey, indicating therein particulars of the ship as are required to identify the ship's net register and gross tonnage. On receipt of the certificate of survey, the registrar shall have the ship inspected by a Surveyor. The markings are to be carved in accordance with M. S. Registration of Indian ships rules, 1960. Whenever a vessel is abroad and requires to be inspected either for issue of certificate of survey or for carving and marking, the owners may apply to the registrar sufficiently in advance giving him details of the vessel's itinerary. The registrar shall then refer the matter to the D. G. Shipping for guidance. Normally surveys for the above are carried out on behalf of the Government of India by the Surveyors of the national administration. In exceptional cases, these surveys may be carried out by a recognised classification society.
    1. Inspection of Overloaded Ships: Submersion of loadlines:

    1. An Indian ship under Section 313 and any other ship under Section 326 shall not be so loaded as to submerge in salt water, the appropriate load line of the ship.

    2. Whenever any ship is reported to be so loaded in an Indian port the vessel shall not be permitted to sail till a surveyor boards the vessel and verifies the truth of the report.

    3. A surveyor boarding a ship to ascertain overloading shall examine all aspects and ascertain for himself whether the vessel is in fact so loaded. In reaching these conclusions, he may, besides the midship freeboards and the list, take into account, draft fore and aft, ballast in tanks, cargo loaded, fuel and fresh water on board and the quantity to be consumed prior to reaching sea and rubbish etc. on board.

    4. Where a vessel is overloaded she may be detained until she ceases to be so loaded. In case of a ship other than an Indian ship, the consular officer of the country concerned should also be informed.

    5. The Principal Officer, MMD, may launch action against the master under section 436(2) for default of section 312 after considering all aspects of the case. In all such cases a report shall be forwarded to D.G. Shipping.

    6. Where a ship arrives at an Indian port in an overloaded condition, similar procedure as stated in proceeding paragraphs be followed and action under Section 436 shall be Institute.

    1. Inspections for carriage of dangerous goods:-

    1. (A) – Provision of Cargo Securing Manual for General Cargo Vessels

    Regulation 5.6 of chapter VI of SOLAS: - All general cargo vessels shall require to have on board securing manual latest by 1.12.97.
    1. (B) – Dangerous Goods: (a) Carriage of dangerous goods on board ships is governed by the following :-

    1. Section 331 and the rules made thereunder; and

    2. The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code published by IMO as amended from time to time.

      1. M. S. (Carriage of Dangerous Goods Code) Rule 19 – lays the responsibility of proper packing, labelling and of documentation on the shipper and the responsibility of proper carriage and stowage on the master.

      2. A ship contravening any of the provisions of the rules shall in addition to any other action be detained till the vessel is no more in an unsafe condition within the meaning of sub-section 5 of Section 331 of the Act.

      3. Sub-section 3 of Section 331 requires owner, master or agent of a ship intending to carry dangerous goods to furnish details as specified to an authority prescribed. However, the responsibility for safe carriage lies with shipper and Master. The MMD may call for cargo plans to ensure full compliance with the rules and masters are advised to keep such palms ready along with details of the dangerous goods, their packing, stowage etc. at all times.

      4. Masters of ships carrying explosives i.e. dangerous goods defined under Class 1 of IMC Dangerous Goods should not, however, load such cargoes without prior approval of the Mercantile Marine Department.

      5. Ships carrying chemicals or inflammable goods in bulk if certified by duly authorised authorities in compliance with the relevant IMO Code need not be inspected by MMD, unless non-compliance with such requirement is reported. Vessels not so certified may apply to Principal Officer MMD for necessary survey. Ships carrying dangerous chemicals in bulk liquid form must carry a Certificate of Fitness for the carriage of such cargo issued in pursuance of IMO Code for the construction and equipment of the ships carrying dangerous chemicals in bulk (BCH/IBC Codes). Similarly, ships carrying inflammable gases in bulk must carry a certificate of fitness for the carriage of such cargoes issued in pursuance of IGC Code.

      6. Shippers, masters, etc. are advised that total compliance with the provisions of the IMO Dangerous Goods Code is essential in the interest of safety of life and property at sea. No departure shall be approved unless the alternative arrangements are considered equivalent to those specified – commensurate with safety, nature of the goods, the proposed stowage and the nature of the voyage.

      7. Inspection pertaining to Certificate of Compliance for carriage of Dangerous Goods in pursuance of SOLAS II-2, Reg. 54 and Appendix B of Solid Bulk Code and issuance of Certificate thereafter is carried out by the Administration in accordance with Second Schedule [(Rules 9(3), 14(6)] of M.S. (Carriage of Cargo) Rules 1995.

    1. Inspection for carriage of grain :- Carriage of Grain:

      1. Carriage of grain in bulk is regulated by the provisions of:-
      1. Carriage of Cargo Rules
      2. Section 331 A and 332
      3. Chapter VI of SOLAS Convention 1974.
      1. Shipowners and masters are advised that prior to carriage of grain the ship should be furnished with a plan called the grain loading plan approved by the Director General of Shipping under sub-section 3 or 4 of Section 331 A an Indian ship, if intending to load grain abroad does not carry an approved grain loading plan, the owner may apply to the Director General for approval of such a plan by the Government of the country as provided under sub-section 4 of Section 331 (A) of the Act. Such application should give details of the ship, type and quantity of grain to be loaded and the port at which the ship is to be loaded. As far as possible adequate notice should be given in such cases to enable such approvals to be made in sufficient time.
      2. A ship loading grain should strictly comply with the grain loading plan in respect of stowage arrangement and stability of the ship.
      3. A ship arriving in India with grain in bulk shall comply with sub-section 3 of Section 332 and give notice to the Customs and the Principal Officer, MMD, stating the details required by the section.
    1. General Inspections –

    1. The surveyor of the MMD under powers stated in para 15.4.6 are also required to inspect all ships to ensure that the conditions under which various statutory certificates were granted are maintained. For this purpose a surveyor may board a ship at any reasonable time and inspect part or parts as he deems necessary.

    2. A vessel which by reason of defective condition of her hull equipment or machinery or by reason of improper loading is considered unsafe shall be detained as provided for in section 336 of the Act.

    1. Inspection of proto-type safety equipment manufactured indigenously for use on board ships :

    2. Inspection of proto-type equipment: - When surveys and inspections under 15.9 are carried out, surveyors are required to ensure that all item of equipment contributing to safety are of an approved type. Approved means approved by the government of India.

    3. Where a manufacturer desires an approval for a certain item of equipment, he may apply to the Principal Officer, MMD of the District in which his factory/works are located. Such application should state details of the equipments along with working drawings , particulars of materials used, and the tests carried out if any. Every such applicant should bear in mind that the process of approval is necessary to ensure that a component or equipment meets the standard of performance under actual working conditions without failure. The specification for each component/equipment shall be as generally specified in the relevant rules.

    4. The Principal Officer, on receipt of the applications shall appoint a surveyor or surveyors to carry out the necessary tests or inspections. Where tests are required on items of equipment for which details are not specified in the appropriate rules, Principal officers should obtain guidance from the Director General of Shipping as to the tests to which they should be subjected. It is also desirable that at important tests technical officers in the D.G. Shipping should be present to avoid duplication. Wherever possible , tests should be carried out at the national test house or other approved testing houses and witnessed by the surveyor. In carrying out tests the surveyors shall be guided by the instructions issued in that respect. Any failure of a test must be conveyed to the applicant in writing with a copy to the D.G. Shipping.

    5. At the conclusion of the specified tests surveyor shall submit a report on the equipment to the Director General through Principal Officer, MMD stating therein, with reason, suitability or otherwise of the equipment for the purpose intended.

    6. On receipt of the report at the Directorate General of Shipping it shall be examined by the technical advisers. The Director General on their advice may then grant an approval which may be provisional for a specified period. The surveyors are required to watch the quality of the equipment during shipboard use and report its suitability in case of any adverse reports in respect of an approved equipment the Director General may suspend/withdraw the approval so granted. If an investigation proves conclusively that the equipment manufactured is no more suitable for the purpose intended the approval shall be withdrawn. In cases where it is revealed that the manufacturer has intentionally used sub-standard material or has deviated from the specification knowingly the name of the manufacturer may be blacklisted and approval to all other equipment manufactured by him may be withdrawn permanently.

    1. Navigation:

    2. Navigation Publication – Shipmasters are advised that they should ensure that latest copies of the following documents are available on board their ships.

    • Notices to Mariners published by Chief Hydrographer, Deharadun.

    • Admiralty notices to mariner.

    • Hydrographic charts and publication.

    • Routing and traffic separation scheme.

    1. Navigation as an art to take a vessel from one port to another has made rapid strides in the last three decades with electronics making its major contribution. However, this has not reduced the burden of responsibility on the watch keeping officers and masters.

    2. Watchkeeping: - IMO recommendations with respect to watch keeping published with the M. S. Notice No. 5 of 1975 clearly indicates the duties and responsibility of the Watch Keeping Officers. Experience has shown that accidents are caused and do not happen. An accident to a ship in addition to causing structural damage may: -

    1. Cause pollution in the area due to spillage of oil or other dangerous cargoes.

    2. In case of foundering etc. leave behind a potential danger to navigation.

    3. Cause indirect losses to those whose cargo is carried on board.

    • In order therefore, to ensure safety of navigation at all times shipmaster must ensure that the ships under his command carry up-to-date publications such as charts sailing directions, list of lights Radio signals, notices to mariners published by Indian authorities, admiralty and where applicable by local authorities and routing and traffic separation scheme etc. It shall be considered the duty of shipowner to ensure that the master is supplied with these as soon as possible after they are published.

    • Danger to Navigation: Attention of Master is drawn to M. S. Navigational Warning rules, wherein duties of masters who encounter dangers to navigation are detailed.

    • Weather – One of the major hazards still existing at sea inspite of all the modern development is uncertain weather and solution to it is a good forecast. Sea areas being large, establishment of sufficient observation station at sea, as on land is not possible. Ships at sea, therefore, invited to make these reports on a voluntary basis. Ship's officers and masters should take cognisance that their reports are an essential step to good forecasting. It should be remembered that the weather observations made by them are not only useful to themselves but as a little thought would show they also do contribute to safety and progress of fishing and off shore drilling at sea and agriculture ashore.

    8MP Stacked Sensor, 12MP Power and Speed Marvel and More From Sony

    online engineering degree/engineering degree online/online engineering courses/engineering technology online/engineering courses online/engineering technician degree online/online engineering technology/electronic engineering online
    Sony Cx-News vol. 70 is entirely devoted to new and very impressive image sensor announcements. The first of the two most interesting ones is 1.55um BSI pixel-based IMX117CQT. This 1/2.3-inch 12.4MP sensor is an improvement on the similar but older IMX078CQK. The new sensor is faster, lower power, has wider light acceptance angle, and more:


    The sensor is very fast delivering 35fps at full resolution at 430mW power. It also capable to 4K/60fps video (10b ADC mode) and includes HD-ish slow motion modes:


    Another important announcement is the first stacked sensor product, the 1/4-inch 8MP 1.12um pixel ISX014, naturally, with integrated ISP:

    Sony illustration of the stacked structure does not seem to have
    any wafer-to-wafer contacts in the pixel array area

    Not much information is given about the sensor. It supports 1940 x 1080p video at 30fps and 1280 x 720p video at 60fps. The built-in scalar function makes it possible to shrink all of the 8MP to perform 16:9 cropping for video. Power consumption is 270 mW in 8MP JPEG@15fps mode or 202 mW in 2MP YUV@30mode which are quite good numbers, possibly due to an advanced process node used for ISP die.

    The image samples which were supposed to show the sensor's high quality, are of low resolution, unfortunately:


    Another announcement is the new 1-inch 9.19MP CCDs: the ICX814ALG (B&W) and the ICX814AQG (color). The sensors have 4 outputs and multitude of readout modes, the fastest one being 1080p at 36fps:
