MSI Wins 3 Awards for Best Submission in the recent InterManagers Enclosed Safety Space Campaign, 2019

MSI Wins 3 Awards for Best Submission in the recent InterManagers Enclosed Safety Space Campaign, 2019

InterManager initiated a campaign on ‘Enclosed Space Safety’. In this 3 month long open survey, seafarers were requested to provide their feedback and opinion as to the causes and possible solutions.

The objective of this campaign was not only to raise awareness amongst people to the dangers by reflecting on ways and means to improve safety, but it was also to look at innovative means to eradicate this bane that has plagued the industry for decades.

With participants coming from diverse backgrounf from vessel operators, managers to over 5000 seafarers from 2500 vessels taking part in this survey, valuable feedback were provided which includes :
• A perceived lack of improvement in the design of vessels with not enough consideration being given to access areas and the people working in them.
• enclosed spaces being hard to reach, are frequently impossible to properly ventilate or to measure the atmosphere conditions.
• allocation of unrealistically tight timeframes for cargo hold and tank preparation;
• adequate protection of seafarers from unrealistic commercial time pressures.

We are pleased to announce that MSI was one of the companies recognized to be taken an active part in this campaign. All the responses were screened by a committee and 12 persons were judged as Safety Leaders for their participation. Amongst those 12 persons awarded, 4 were from MSI...Indeed a proud moment for us:

Our special thanks to :
• Capt. Himadri Shikhar Ghosh, for steering the campaign in MSI
• Capt. Avinash Serafino Carrasco from Maritime Meridian for best submission
• Mr. Sunny Tangappan Kannan from Maritime Meridian for best submission
• Mr. Asokan Exhilan form Maritime Tuntiga for best submission

Capt. Himadri Ghosh was in Manila at the Annual Crew Connect Conference on 21st Nov 2019 to collect the awards on behalf of all the MSI awardees. The award consists of a handsome plaque with the name engraved.

Once again, we would like to thank all of you who participated and congratulate the award recipients. You have made MSI proud!

Maritime Gisela had successfully conducted a daring rescue operation which resulted in the rescue of 8 seafarers whose vessel MSV JEHOVAH CHRIST was sinking off the Western Coast of India on 1st March 2019.

Vessel was enroute from Jebel Ali to Singapore when at 0800 hrs LT, she received a distress call from MSV JEHOVAH CHRIST. The vessel was reported to be suffering water ingress due to malfunctioning of water pumping equipment onboard, which lead the vessel to start sinking.

By 0905 hrs LT, the distress vessel was alongside Maritime Gisela and 8 crew members along with their belongings were rescued safely at 0912 hrs LT.

Maritime Gisela was then maneuvered to clear off the distress vessel. The 8 rescued crew was then transferred to the MSV RAJAM, which was bound for New Mangalore at 1245 LT, transferring the 8 rescued crew members by 1410LT. At 1500hrs LT, Gisela, then resumed her passage to Singapore.

On behalf of all at MSI we like to commend the ship’s command and crew onboard the Maritime Gisela for their exemplary courage in undertaking swift and decisive action resulting in the successful rescue of the lives of 8 fellow seafarers.

We are also please to announce that the MT Gisela was awarded the Bravery Award by the Marine Department, Hong Kong in recognition of all the crew onboard who had participated the successful rescue effort.
