MSI Seafarer’s Conference 2020

“In the middle of adversity there is great opportunity”

Covid 19 paved the way for our first multinational Conference hosted online on 21st and 22nd December.

Over 200 Delegates from Dubai, India, Singapore, Indonesia, China, and the Philippines came together at this meet.

The Theme of the Conference was “Partners in Safety in a Disrupted World.”

While the regular performance updates and lessons learned were presented, this year, we focused on wellbeing. Topics such as “Resilience and Wellbeing at Sea” and “mindfulness” was presented by recognized experts. We even had a 30-minute session of guided meditation.

Class Societies provided updates on the upcoming IMO Cyber Security regulation. Another critical but often neglected area in today’s hectic shipping world is Mentoring. Seafarers over generations have always been trained in this manner. A talk on this topic gave everyone – especially seniors – good food for thought.

We know that this Conference was a resounding success from the feedback received, and we will have many more of these in 2021!

A committee was set up within MSI consisting of Senior Management, Technical, Operation, and HSSQE staff. Data for 2020 in the following categories were used as measuring tools to help us decide on the “Best Ship of the Year”:

1. Personal Injury Cases (LTIF)

2. Non Injury Cases (eg. Navigational incidents. machinery failures, fire, spills, security incidents)

3. PSC Inspections and Detentions

4. Unscheduled Off Hire and claims

5. Vetting or RightShip Inspections– Vessels individual Performance based on inspection Risk Rating.

6. Vessel rejections by Oil Major leading to Loss of business

7. Overdue PMS

8. Compliance with MESPAS Reporting

9. Ship General Appearance – age of ship taken into account and

10. Quality of Near Miss reports submitted

We at MSI would like to congratulate all the Masters and Crew on board these two above mentioned ship, past, and present who have worked hard to make this possible.

We salute you seafarers, who have poured in their heart and soul into their work, accepting the extreme challenges that Covid19 presented and yet came out on top keeping everyone safe, not only from accidents but from Covid infection too.

Award for Outstanding Performance from MPA

MSI Award MPA

MSI have receives the Award for Outstanding Performance in Search & Rescue Operations 2019 in the International Safety @ Sea Awards 2020, from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA)

Dear Ladies & Gentlemen,

We are delighted to announce that MSI has received an award for Outstanding Performance in Search & Rescue Operations 2019 from the Maritime Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).

The cases included in the submission were the rescue of the French explorer, Jean-Jacques Savin, by the Maritime Kelly Anne, and the rescue of 8 seafarers by the Maritime Gisela from the Jehovah Christ. This year had a record number of nominations, and as winners, MSI are in an elite group of companies to hold this accolade.

It demonstrates the dedication and professionalism of our sea staff and shore management in ensuring safety at sea not only for our own personnel, but to the wider seafaring community across the world. This category is perhaps the most prestigious of the awards to be given, as it involves a direct intervention to save lives; without the competent and effective performance of our staff, many people would not have been able to return home to their families and loved ones.

On behalf on the management, we would like to thank all of you that were involved in these operations, particularly to the crews of the Maritime Kelly Anne & Maritime Gisela, and can assure you we feel proud to have you in our organisation.

Bring Them Home!

Despite a universal campaign from all sectors of the shipping industry to classify seafarers as key workers, and to facilitate crew transfers, many governments are slow to respond to the growing situation in supporting seafarers especially with regards to their movement to and from the ships.

Stringent requirements on border controls have led to some estimates that 30% of all seafarers on ships are continuing to serve onboard even after completing their Seafarer Employment Agreement (SEA), with at least 5% of all seafarers have been on board for over 12 months in breach of the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC).

We call upon governments, health, maritime and airline authorities to resolve this growing humanitarian crisis and to also consider that not only the severe effect on the mental health and well-being of seafarers, but also the very real danger to safe operations posed by exhausted and mentally fatigued crew on board. We need governments to recognise the commitment that seafarers have made during the pandemic, provide them with key worker status and open the borders, allowing seafarers to return home.

Spirit of Seatrek JOINS THE MSI FLEET

MSI Ship Management Pte Ltd is pleased to announce that the MV Spirit of Seatrek has been taken into our management on July 17th 2020.

The 63k deadweight bulk carrier was taken over smoothly by Team MSI in spite of the current conditions which made crew movements and take-overs of vessels challenging.

Team MS rose to the challenge to ensure that the joining of crew are done in a safe and take-over completed with minimum fuss, in an efficient manner.

Despite these challenging times, MSI is confident that as a Group we will brave the rough seas and like to wish all crew onboard fair winds and a safe passage.

The joining of this beauty expands our bulk carrier fleet as we look to make more inroads into this segment this year.
