Están que trinan con las inspecciones de la UE, aportan datos estadísticos y ponen a nuestras Capitanías con sus inspecciones por las nubes.

Maritime Bulletin

Turkish Chamber of Shipping is closely monitoring and analyzing the PSCOs of Paris MOU, they circulated a letter “to all whom it may concern”, including Maritime Bulletin, with the results of their monitoring. Two files attached to letter are the lists of detentions during the periods 2011 (19.04.2011-31.12.2011) and 2012 (01.01.2012-19.04.2012). Files are too technically difficult for proper publishing, but I plan in near future to create a regularly updated classified list of detentions, not limited by Paris MOU. Find the letter below, without any corrections. I think, such materials are much more important for the shipping, than many grammatically flawless and absolutely meaningless articles of major industry media.

There are 687 ships detained in the period from 19.04.2011 to 19.04.2012. The ships in above lists are total 687, 96 of them ( % 14 ) are Turkish controlled, grouped as follows:

- Drycargo coasters (basically all general cargo ships below 15000dwt, larger drycargoships grouped under Bulkcarriers. Despite their size, almost all of these ships are engaged in coastal trade ie in between
UK/CONT/BALTIC/MEDincl.BSEA) total 421 ships ( % 61 of all detentions) Of which 66 ( % 16 of all coasters) are Turkish controlled

- Bulkcarriers, 95 ships ( % 14 of all detentions) Otherwords, generalcargo vessels + bulkers make 75 % of all detentions inParisMou.

- Containerships, 31 ships ( % 5 of all detentions)
- Roro/Ferry/Passengerships, 43 ships ( % 6 )
- Tugs/Otherships, 47 ships ( % 7 )

- (all) Tankers, 50 ships ( % 7 Pct)
Otherwords, dryships makes 93 % of all detentions in ParisMoU.
Of this 50 tankers, 11 are Turkish controlled which makes % 22 of all tanker detentions in ParisMou are Turkish controlled tankers. Of this 11 Turkish controlled tankers, 8 of them ( % 72 ) are MODERN TANKERS.

01.) (drycargo) COASTER are big time LOSERS . . This has not much to do with their FREQUENT CALLER status, or dire resources in comparison to other types, THE KEY FACTOR is they are WEAK when confronted with the PSCO”s. They donot have corporate lawyers that may sue to the end of the time in
case you dare to mark a “30″. They donot have Big Brothers in the town of the PSCO”s who may cause PSCO”s to lose their beloved job. Thats why they got detained in the percentage ratio of SIXTYONE PERCENT..

However, there is A FACT that EU CONTROLLED COASTERS, YET DOES NOT GET PROPERLY INSPECTED (except maybe in SPAIN). AND IF THEY WERE PROPERLY INSPECTED, almost all EU controlled coasters WOULD BE BANNED from trading in ParisMou (and yet there isnot a single EU tonnage that is BANNED). There is no German working on a German coaster, no Dane on a Danish coaster, no Dutch
on a Dutch coaster, no Italian on an Italian coaster, no Greek on a Greek coaster… The EU shipoperator cannot even talk to his master in a mutually understandable language. There is no SAFETY MANAGEMENT (ISM) on board EU controlled coasters. Most of the ships are delegated to the Ukranian/Russian/Polish/Balticstates CREWING COMPANIES, now called ISM COMPANIES which sends whole crew (total 5/6 persons for a EU coaster) with a “so called” MANUAL (ISM) which nobody gives a damn.
