……………………………………………

Members are kindly requested to have their say about the future of the ship Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI). As part of the study we are carrying out a survey on how the EEDI framework has improved energy efficiency in new ships.

 

The survey includes questions on:

 

  1. Perception of EEDI
  2. How attained EEDI has been improved and how it may be improved further
  3. Minimum safe power
  4. Future options for the framework

 

Technical questions regarding how attained EEDI has been improved will try to gauge uptake of specific design and technical choices (such as engine derating and aft ship type energy saving devices), however only shipyards, ship designers, ship owners, ship management companies, ship brokers and tank testing institutes will be asked these additional questions.

 

In all cases the survey should take around 10 minutes or less to complete.

 

The survey may be accessed here. If your email does not support hyperlinks, you may access the survey at this address https://arcsilea.typeform.com/to/ROonukaW

Dear Kuba,

 

We have followed and implemented the Angolan protocol. This consists on using a pre-approved Hotel facility by Minsa ( Minsitry of Health). Requirement impose 14 day quarantine in this hotel and MINSA takes care of testing of seafarers to PCR test within hotel facilities. Seafarers are also having their temperature checked twice a day. They are not allowed to step out of the room so condition of quarantine are difficult to accept.

Offsigners must directly reach the airport from vessel

 

In regards to travelling, we are using a corridor flight scheduled out of Paris once or twice a month. All joiners to reach Paris within 24 hours of thie charter flight departure. In the last charter flights departed on 25/08, the Joint companies have secured 103 seats.

 

The point of contact we have set up is with Bourbon offshore in charge of the charter flights
