Question for you Spowiednick - on the large container ships you sailed on with beams closer to 48 meters, did you have to carry any ballast during normal service?
Thanks buddy … so really not much difference from the 1st gen post panamax vessels (40 m beam). Fortunately in my experience we had sufficient cargo both ways and minimal to zero ballast.
Far cry from the narrow bodies … always carrying 3-4k ballast in the DBs. Slow death of the tanks.
PS: Lower aft peak tank was locked in treated fresh water.
PPS: No SW ballast on the moored FPSOs.
The 16 OSPAR contracting parties have agreed to phase out discharge from EGCSs in coastal waters of the European north-east Atlantic. Restrictions on open loop discharge are to take effect from 1 July 2027, and closed loop discharge from 1 July 2029. Read more about the ban in this news and on what to consider if EGCSs are an essential part of your SOx emissions compliance strategy.
Recently changed from DNV to BV.
What a ball ache.
Every cupboard, locker , storage space is no longer any of those.
All of the stuff ended up piled on the deck.
25 years of no problems and then BV turn up.
Explain to me why DNV treat Class 9 DG differentrly to what BV do?
I can’t explain that, but here is DSV’s take on DG Class 9:
For 25 years, under DNV, Class 9 could (mostly) go on the maindeck.
Now, under BV, they must go top deck only, regardless.
Makes no sense.
