Bettersooner than... The big shift happened with the advent of the ECDIS and the transition is still happening- some seniors are yet to say "YES" mentally to, bbutthere isno going back. At GEIMS the direct effect lead to the biometric attendance monitoring system made mandatory for the cadets.The morning greetings did change for the cadets to “No swipe” and “sorry your face has changed” and many more such surprises. We are all now slave of the digital era and god forbid the day when, online systems decide to have a bad day in office, We are ready for the huge change in the way we work driven by technology but do we have the backup in case there is a fallout. The shipping industry has always been efficient but has been wary of technological advances which have already consumed the rest of the world. i's no surprise that companies are working to develop ships that depend less on humans, which cost more and are prone, to mistakes With higher consumer demand and the infamous Jargons "Cost cut" or “Optimization’, the digital age will have the final word and softwares will rule our intelligence. Very soon the human intelligence will be artificial one and “Alexa” will be the ultimate ‘ruth. Imagine the days ahead - Alexa, “How do we need topass the vessel aheadofus.” Or Alexa “dowe give full ahead or slow ahead movement to berth” - Not too far away considering the speed of technological developments. Days are not far when the Master and C/Eng will be operating the ships with hand held devices- The Ipads configured with numerous Apps to operate n control the ships.Apps for different machinery, bridge equipment, steering controls etc will be the way forward. Above all the CCTV will be the main lookout which will probably automatically decide what helm to give whenever required, and of course keeping In mind fuel efficiency at all times. “When in doubt Call Alexa’ will be the standing, instructions. Difficult to predict whether the human error factor will reduce or be totally done away with modern day autonomous ships. The numerous tests on unmanned ships by different tech majors shows the speed at which we should be prepared for the inevitable, (On tthe evergreen debate about the existence of sextants ‘on board a wise man suggested-The only way to revive (GINS CHRONICLE Savantnenth Edin luna 2018 2 the sextant and its popularity is to make the features of a sextant available on the mobile and the calculation dane on an App. Interesting thought but if implemented will surely be moregleefully acceptable by the gen X mariner.

Urgent stores delivered without delaying, the ship. Happy owner and an efficient super handling the shiplliMany people are rightfully apprehensive about having hundreds of drones fltting about their neighborhood. But make no mistake: the drones are coming. "Shipping Is likely to evolve quickly now," sald LR marine director Tom Boardley in September. "That evolution is likely to be uneven but while 2030 is not far away, we think that shipping is likely to have changed significantly. ‘As Oskar Levander of Rolls-Royce writes: Remotely controlled ships, piloted by people on shore, and autonomous ships, which can take actions for themselves, are the latest beneficiaries of increasing digital connectivity and intelligence, In the future of shipping industry, we see the collision of old school and brand new technology. Ships ‘meeting autonomous driving, package delivery meets drones, humans meet robots. It’s amazing, somewhat frightening, and incredibly fascinating. Some of these technologies are years off, while others are just around, the corner. One thing is clear: the shipping Industry is, ‘changing and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it. Be Prepared to be surprised at the pace of changes. Be ‘adaptive, innovative and accept change, because change is constant and ‘the rate of change ‘is faster than you and | can Imagine. Latest survey forecasts that 40% of future jobs don't exists today. Be prepared for an efficient: new world driven bytechnology. Capt. Subroto Khan MR & Nautical FacultyHite SeaesleEs Today's ship structures and systems are technologically advanced and highly reliable. Yet, the maritime casualty rate is still high. It is because ship structure and system reliability are a relatively small part of the safety equation. The maritime system sa people system, and human errors figure prominently in casualty situations. Contemporary research and analysis in the maritime sector on reported hazards and incidents has stated recommendations for perception, decision making and fatigue at sea that helps us to optimize our perceptual and decision making behavior. These are important for seafarers to be aware of and for managers and maritime regulators when considering the human element in ship design and when writing operating procedures. Improving howwe see: Attention, ‘What and ‘Where’ discourage operations where individuals are working alone on safety Critical activities. Researchers believe that we canonlytracka maximum of 4 moving objects at atime, so working with our crewmates is necessary to assist our attention, Be aware of our attention limitations, actively change focus between areas. We can never optimize the 'What' and the ‘Where’ system at the same time, so our best option for using our vision at sea is to check with a mate and have one person lead on each element. Lift your head when scanning the horizon. Our awareness of nearand far space when we lift our heads instead of glancing up is improved as it ensures that the most appropriate part of the eye is beingused. Lighting : Make sure that you are exposedto at Jeast some daylight during your day to help your body clocks adjust. Always ensure that you're working in appropriate lighting. ‘Trust : Relying solely on electronic instruments or only on experience isn't good enough. A balance must be struck where both are used. Strike a balance between relying on your experience and using your crew-mates for help. 4 a Group Decisions : Two heads are always better than one and decisions should be made by groups Instead of by individuals when- ever and wherever possible. Visval Size and Distance : When possible, check the size and distance of an object with a colleague, rather than relying on the perception of one individual. Use multiple clues to judge size, distance and motion, Dark Adaptation : Use red light for adaptation. Use a red light zone before entering the bridge on all ships at night and wear red lensed glasses before taking over shift. Communication and Culture : Have a culture on board that promotes questioning of decisions, Including those of senior crew members by lower ranked members. This will help to counteract the errors caused by individual decision making. Fighting/Managing Fatigue : Those who have remained in shift work for aver 10 years should take a proper care of their health, both mental and physical, and regularly see a doctor. It is important to remember that physical as well as mental wellbeingis crucial for our functioningand safety of everyone onthe ship. ‘Think: eye, brain, group, health We can improve our seeing by being aware of the limits of the eye and implementing good adaptation behaviors. Commit tothese. The quality of information tecelved by the brain Is largely influenced by what we see. Lookafter your eyes but also appreciate the limitation of eyesight and the impact that improper lighting may have on perception and your decision making. Be awarethat the brain has limits and was not designed forlifeatsea.

Foundation The 20th Vasant J Sheth Memorial Lecture was delivered by Vijay M Crishna, Executive Director, Lawkim Motors, Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co Ltd. An intrepid traveller and abiding environmental conservationist, Crishna spoke with great passion and eloquence to a distinguished group of Mumbaikars including critics, historians, intellectuals and businessmen at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (formerly, The Prince of Wales Museum) on Tuesday, January 16, 2018, His lecture titled: The Lone Mariner and his Ghost Fleet was introduced by Cyrus Guzder, whose captivating presentation asked who the real Vijay Crishna was: actor extraordinaire, determined businessman or tireless explorer? Mr. Guzder concluded his introduction by thanking Vijay Crishna and the Foundation for uncovering the little known but extraordinary story of Zheng He, an exceptional admiral in the Ming Dynasty who commanded seven naval expeditions in the 15th century and exercised enormous political influence. For some mysterious reason his records were expunged from Chinese history. Vijay Crishna's talk traced the remarkable trajectory of Zheng He - possibly the Ming (GRIMS CHRONICLE Seventeenth Edkon lune 2018 dynasty's most influential admiral and diplomat — who helped extend the maritime and commercial influence of China throughout the regions bordering the Indian Ocean. He commanded seven naval expeditions almost a century before the Portuguese reached India by sailing around the southern tip of Africa. He first set sail in 1405, commanding 62 ships and 27,800 men reaching Calicut on the Malabar Coast of india before returning to China in 1407. Besides returning to Calicut and Cochin, subsequent journeys took him further to Hormuz on the Persian Gulf, Dhofar (Oman) and Aden (Yemen), Mecca and Egypt. His fleet visited towns along the east coast of Africa of what are now Somalia and Kenya and almost reached the Mozambique Channel. On his return to China in 1415, Zheng He brought the envoys of more than 30 states of South and Southeast Asia to pay homage to the Chinese emperor. Zheng died in Calicut, nearing the end of his last voyage in the spring of 1433, All agreed that the scintillating lecture was most appropriate for the Foundations maritime theme shedding light on a little known maritime hero, indeed alone mariner.Tedeical Nee ~ from The Pua, Sc ‘Wind Energy For India Wind isa form of solar energy. Winds are caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the irregularities of the earth's surface, and rotation of the earth. Wind flow patterns are modified by the earth's terrain, bodies of water, and vegetative cover. This wind flow, or motion energy, when “harvested” by modern wind turbines, can be usedto generate electricity, How Wind Power!s Generated The terms "wind energy" or “wind power" describe the process by which the wind is used to generate ‘mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy In the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks {such as grinding grain or pumping water) ora generator an convert this mechanical power into electricity to power homes, businesses, schools, and thelike. Wind Turbines Wind turbines, like alrcraft propeller blades, turn in the moving air and power an electric generator that supplies an electric current. Simply stated, a wind turbine is the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, like a fan, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. Wind Turbine Types ‘Modern wind turbines fall into two basic groups; the horizontal-axis variety, like the traditional farm windmills used for pumping water, and the vertical-axis design, like the eggbeater-style Darrieus model, named after Its French Inventor. Most large modern wind turbines are horizontal-axis turbines, Turbine Componentsinclude: Blade or rotor, which converts the energy in the wind to rotational shaft energy; A drive train, usually including a gearbox and a generator; ‘A tower that supports the rotor and drive train; andother equipment, including controls, electrical cables, ground support equipment, and interconnection equipment. ‘Turbine Configurations ‘Wind turbines are often grouped together into a single wind power plant, also known as a wind farm, and 6 generate bulk electrical power. Electricity from these turbines is fed into a utility grid and distributed to ‘customers, just as with conventional power plants. Wind turbine diagram Wind Turbine Size and Power Ratings Wind turbines are available in a variety of sizes, and therefore power ratings, The largest machine has blades ‘that span morethan the length ofa football field, stands 20 building stories high, and produces enough electricity to power 1,400 homes. A small home-sized wind machine has rotors between 8 and 25 feet in diameter and stands upwards of 30 feet and can supply the power needs of an all-electric home or small business. Utility-scale turbines range in size from SO to 750 kilowatts. Single small turbines, below 50 kilowatts, are used for homes, telecommunications dishes, or water pumping. Advantages and Disadvantages of Wind- Generated Electricity ARenewable Non-Polluting Resource Wind energy isa free, renewable resource, sono matter (GEIS CHRONICLE Seventeenth Edton June 2018ebeical Nox ~ Stem The Seely Stn how much is used today, there will stil be the same supply in the future. Wind energy is also a source of clean, non-polluting, electricity. Unlike conventional power plants, wind plants emit no air pollutants or greenhouse gases. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, in 1990, California's wind power plants offset the emission of more than 2.5 billion pounds of carbon dioxide, and 15 million pounds of other pollutants that would have otherwise been produced. It would take a forest of 90 million to 175 million trees to provide the samealr quality, Costissues Even though the cost of wind power has decreased dramatically in the past 10 years, the technology requires a higher initial investment than fossil-fueled generators. Roughly 80% of the cost Is the machinery, with the balance being site preparation and installation. If wind generating systems are compared with fossil fueled systems on a "life-cycle" cost basis (counting fuel and operating expenses for the life of the generator), however, wind costs are much mare competitive with other generating technologies because there Is no fuel to purchase andminimaloperating expenses. Environmental Concerns Although wind power plants have relatively little impact ‘on the environment compared to fossil fuel power plants, there is some concern over the notse produced bythe rotor blades, aesthetic (visual) impacts, and birds and bats having been killed (avian/bat mortality) by flyinginto the rotors. Most of these problems have been resolved or greatly reduced through technological development or by property siting wind plants. ‘Supply and Transport issues The major challenge to using wind as a source of power {sthat tis intermittent and does not always blow when electricity is needed. Transportation has always been a measure factor, although respective Government has been doing everything to short out this issue. Wind cannot be stored (although wind-generated electricity can be stored, if batteries are used), and not all winds can be harnessed to meet the timing of electricity demands. Further, good wind sites are often located In remote Jocations far from areas of electric power demand (such as cities). Finally, wind resource development may compete with other usesfortheland, (GIS CHRONICLE Savantnenth Edin nd 2018 and those alternative uses may be more highly valued than electricity generation. However, wind turbines can be located on land that is also used for grazing or even farming Mr S.K B Singh Engineering Faculty Blockchain Technology, Internet of Things (1OT) & ts Application for Future Of Shipping industry In layman's terms, the block chain is @ virtual, public ledger that records everything in a secure and transparent manner, Unlike banks that facilitate transactions with traditional currencies, the block chain allows the free transfer of crypto currency through @ decentralized environment. All the data is then held in aninterlinked network of computers, owned and run by none other than the users themselves, Widely known as the technology underpinning the digital currency bitcoin, Block chain is currently being hailed as the new technology to revolutionise the SCM {supplychain management). Put in a simple way, block chain technology is 2 very secure way to share Information between parties. It creates a permanent, digital public ledger of transactions which can be shared among a distributed network ofcamputers The sharing possibilities of this technology create many opportunities for logistics/supply chain applications. ‘Advantages for the sector include improvements of ‘transparency and data sharing across the supply chain, better tracking of orders, reducing errors and better fraud detection. One important aspect of this technology is that it can only reap its full benefits if all stakeholders/members of the supply chain make use of the technologyand can accessit. The future of logistics and frelghting will be heavily dependent on block chain. The main appeal of block chain technology lies in its abilityto create decentralized and immutable ledgers — networks that have no single point of failure, are maintained by multiple parties and whose information cannot be hacked or corrupted. This increases the security and transparency of all 7ebeical Nox ~ Stem The Seely Sta Information that. stored on a block chain across the life cycle ofa transaction. The freight and logistics industry Incorporates a large number of brokers and significant amounts of hidden information across complex supply chains. No single party can access all aspects of the chain. Currently, the freight and logistics industry is heavily controlled by freight brokers, which exist to facilitate transactions of loads from shippers to carriers. Brokers seek out loads, tag on a markup, and then sellitto carriers. This not only Increases costs for carriers, it also leads to increase in downstream prices that directly affectconsumers. The lack of efficiency, transparency and security across the global networks is precisely the problem block chain technologyisdesigned to solve It has multiple applications in the logistics industry, especially related to supply chains, insurance, payments, audits and customs brokerage. The technology has the potential to increase transparency and efficiency among shippers, carriers, brokers, consumers, vendors and other supply chain stakeholders. One effective way transparency and efficiency can be Jncreased is by leveraging smart contracts, the core innovation behind the Ethereum block che (Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts & applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship and fraud or third-party interference, These apps run on a custom built block chain, on enormously powerful shared global infrastructure that cam move value around and represent the ownership of property.) ‘Smart contracts are essentially self-executing contracts that are fulfilled when predefined stipulations are met. This is particularly useful when it comes to increasing the efficiency of shipping escrow by removing or limiting the intermediaries involved, and therefore bypassing the markups they post. Block chain also can increase the tracking and transparency of the SCM. Shippers can gain more Visibility across their supply chain and communicate important information such as loads, geo-waypoints and basic compliance information with carriers, ig Inother words, shippers can track the capacity, cost and estimated delivery times for different routes fora given shipment before making a decision on the marketplace. ‘At the same time, carriers can continually post infarmation about their capacity, thereby dynamically adjusting the fairest pricing based on supply and demand. The transparency and efficiency afforded by the block chain benefits all parties by allocating resources in the mast effective way without artificial ‘markups by rent-seeking brokers. Inherent to block chain technology is the ability to create a decentralized, encrypted ledger that logs all of the critical transport data. This log is immutable to hackers, as no one has the ability to change or delete crucial information. While the premise of block chain is promising for an Industry rife with inefficiency, the technology is stil very ‘much in its early days. As of now, a shipment from East Africa to Europe could require approvals from as many ‘as 30 different parties. By the time it reaches its destination, up to 200 different interactions might have had occurred, Many of these interactions happen not just between shippers and carriers, but also between regulators, retailers, wholesalers and even customers. For 2 global shipping block chain network to function effectively, participation s needed fromall stakeholders. ‘Maersk Line, the world’s largest container-shipping company, has already teamed up with 1BM to apply block chain to track its cargo shipments in order to reduce the mountains of paperwork associated with each shipment. Shippers and carriers are optimistic that advances in block chain technology will support the industry's growth for yearstocome, The benefits of block chain, however, are more than big enough to sustain its relevance fer generations to come. ‘Supply Chain Management For supply chain management, the block chain technology offers the benefits of traceability and cost- effectiveness& thus brings about a new level of transparency to B2B ecosystems ~ simplifying processes such as ownership transfer, production process assurance and payments. ‘EINE CHRONICLE Seventeenth Eaton June 2018ebeical Nox ~ Stem The Sey Stn Quality assurance: If an irregularity is detected somewhere along the supply chain, a blockchain system can lead you all the way to its point of origin. This makes it easier for businesses to carry out investigations and execute the necessary actions. Accounting Recording transactions through block chain virtually eliminates human error and protects the data from possible tampering. In addition to the guaranteed accuracy of your records, sucha process willalsoleave a highly traceable audittrail. Smart Contracts Time-consuming contractual transactions can bottleneck the growth of a business, especially for ‘enterprises that process. torrent ofcommunications on ‘a consistent basis. With smart contracts, agreements can be automatically validated, signed and enforced through @ block chain construct. This eliminates the need for mediators and therefore saves the company timeand money. Sanctity of Global Transaction Finally, the meteoric rise of Bitcoin and every other crypto currency in the market isn't without merit. For ‘one, it enabled the fast, secure and cheap transfer of fundsacross the globe. The “Internet of things" {IOT) Is becoming an increasingly growing topic of conversation both in the workplace and outside oft. It's a concept that not only has the potential to impact how we live but also how we work, But what exactly is the “internet of things” and what impact is It going to have ‘on you, ifany? There area lot of complexities aroundthe “Internet ofthings". Let's start with understanding few things. Sroadband Internet is become more widely available, the cost of connecting is decreasing, more devices are being created with Wi-Fi capabilities and sensors built into them, technology costs are going down, and smartphone penetration is sky-rocketing. All of these thingsare creatinga "perfect storm" for the OT. So What is The internet OF Things? Simply put, this is the concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet {and/or to each other). This includes everything from GINS CHRONICLE Savantnenth Edin nd 2018 re cellphones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of including correcting actions which may be required with Artificial Intelligence in place. This also applies to components of machines, for example a ship's engine, Bridge [Navigation or the drill of an oil rig. As I mentioned, if it hasan onandoffswitch then chancesare itcan bea part ofthe IOT. As per analysts by 2020 there will be over 26 billion connected devices. That's a lot of connections (some even estimate this number to be much higher, ‘over 100 billion). The IGT s agiant network of connected "things" (which also indudes people), The relationship will be between people-people, people-things, and things-things. How Does This impact You? The new rule for the future is going tobe, "Anything that can be connected, will be connected,” But why on earth would you want so many connected devices talking to each other? There are many examples for what might look like or what the potential value might be. On a broader scale, the 1OT can be applied to things lke transportation networks. The reality is that the 1OT allows for virtually endless ‘opportunities and connections to take place, many of which we can't even think of or fully understand the impact of today. It'snot hard to see how andwhy the IOT 1s such ahot topic today; it certainly opens the door toa lot of opportunities but also to many challenges, Security is a big issue that is oftentimes brought up. With billions of devices being connected together, what can people do to make sure that their information stays secure? Will someone be able to hack into your toaster and thereby get access to your entire network? The IOT also opens up companies all over the world to more security threats. Then we have the issue of privacy and data sharing. (This can be tackled by Block Chain Technology). This is a hot-button topic even today, so fone can only imagine how the ponversation and concerns will escalate when we are talking about many billions of devices being connected, Another issue that ‘many companies specifically are going to be faced with 1s around the massive amounts of data that all of these devices are going to produce. Companies needto figure outa way to store, track, analyze and make sense of theebeical Nox ~ Stem The Sey Stn vast amounts of data that will be generated including. access to storage areas e.g. Cloud storage by means of high speed internet (5,6,7,8 or 9G) ‘Athing, in the Internet of Things, can be a person with a heart monitor implant, a farm animal with z biochip transponder an automobile that has built-in sensors to alert the driver when tire pressure is low — or any other natural or man-made object that can be assigned an IP addrass and provided with the ability to transfer data with high speed overanetwork. JOT has evolved from the convergence of wireless technologies, micro-electromechanical systems {MEMS}, micro services and the internet. The convergence has helped tear down the silo walls ‘between operational technologies (OT) and information technology, allowing unstructured machine-generated data to be analyzed for insights that will drive improvements. Practical applications of OT technology can be found in ‘many industries today, including precision agriculture, building management, healthcare, energy and transportation industry-Shipping/Road/Rall/Air, ‘Although the concept wasn't named until 1999, the Internetof Things has beenin development for decades.

The number of Internet-connected devices is growing rapidly and Is expected to reach 50 billion by 2020.{Advertisement of date of Amitabh Batchan- Haier Alrcon adjusting temperature via cell phone) Conclusion The Internet of Things has great potential for the consumer as well as for enterprises, but not without risk. Information security organizations must begin preparations to transition from securing PCs, servers, mobile devices and traditional IT infrastructure, to ‘managing a much broader set of interconnected items Incorporating wearable devices, sensors and technology we can't even foresee currently. This increased complexity within the enterprise shouldn't be overlooked, and threat modeling will be necessary to ensure basic security principal of confidentiality, Integrity and availability are maintained in what will be an increasingly interconnected digital world. 10 Industrial Internet of Things use cases : The |OT atsea ‘The industrial “internet of things” has found its way to sea, with connected sensors and unified platforms designed to provide increased visibility for crews. Ships have for some time been equipped with sensors that collect data, Now, that data can be optimized and sent in real time to a Captain, their colleagues, and other ships in the network or the shipping company's communication headquarters on land. These sensors monitor everything from a ship's speed to the ‘temperature of Its cargo, allowing for an optimized shipping ecosystem. Despite the fact ships carried an estimated 9.6 billion ‘tons of cargo in 2013 — around 80% of global trade by volume and over 70% of global trade by value ~ the maritime industry lags behind alternative transport industries in terms of its use of information and communications technology. Instances where industrial OT solutions can be implemented in maritime operations can have a significant impact on route optimization, maintenance Costs, asset tracking, and remote controlling of vessels at sea including ROBOSHIPS. Here Is a closer look at ‘those use cases for implementing an IOT solution out at sea. Route optimization Ships have been using high frequency radios to communicate with other vessels for years. This communication between ships is important in determining the most efficent routes and avoiding collisions. Unfortunately, this once-revolutionary technology lends itself to the potential of user error Now, a ship's position can be tracked live and location information can be sent to other ships on the same network. Captains and offices on land can track a ship's movernents using a laptop or tablet to analyze whether ‘theyshould pursue more optimal routes. Assettracking Ona large scale, sensors help track the location of aship at sea, on a smaller scale they are able to provide the status and temperature of cargo containers, One benefit \s real-time metrics on refrigerated containers, These containers must be stored at constant temperatures so that perishable goods remain fresh. Equipment monitoring ‘SEINE CHAONICLESevantzenth Eaton June 2038Fedeical Nox ~ Stem The Seely Stn The maintenance of an offshore supply vessel is seen as expensive and time consuming. It costs anywhere between $58,000 and $116,000 per day to havea vessel offline. It was noted a maintenance project involves dry docking a Ship, pre-ordering parts and contacting personnel. In one example, a five-week operation was budgeted atnearly$3million, ‘An industrial 1OT platform designed to be used to monitor expensive equipment and help fix problems before they get out of hand. It's designed to connect embedded engine- and hul-monitoring systems with bridge communications in a way that is said to reduce inefficiencies, risks and overall cost, delivering aninternet provider protocol for proprietary maritime systems and providing the connectivity for those systems. Intermodal transportation networks are one example of these new, hybrid industries, encompassing the ‘maritime industry as an integral part af such a global network. These hybrid industries will require a new breed of engineers and specialists where domain- specificsoftware engineering will playa crucialrole. Transportation has already been very active in the Internet of Things development, with transportation and logistics companies being some of the first to adopt 1OT in their daily business. The transformative power of {OT has already made an impact on the traditionally conservative maritime industry. In fact, maritime has an advantage over many other industries when it comes to 1OT implementation and adoption. For decades, ships have been carrying a multitude of sensors onboard, collecting data that, until recently, has not been utilized and analyzed to optimize the maritime operations. The Industrial |OT may be as disruptive for maritime as the ‘steam engine or the introduction of cargo containers were in the past. Accelerated by open source software, wireless, and mabile technologies, the adoption of OT bythe maritimeindustry has already began. JOT and Open Source Onboard- Ship R.O.R & ‘Navigation application For example, an app, called "REX", which stands for Route Exchange, runs on top of the Open Bridge Platform (BP), an innovation platform based on open source software including MARSSA and the “Maritime Cloud” communication framework, another open Gena cHAOMICLE Sevantnenth Edin luna 2018 source artifact. REX reads ship's onboard sensors and provides realtime information to the Captain and his colleagues operating the other ferries in the fleet, as well as a land-based sea traffic coordination center. It supports collaborative decision makingamongstthe key stakeholders involved to achieve safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly maritime operations. OBP was designed by domain-specific marine sofware engineers in close collaboration with captains and crews toaddress thelr everyday pain points. ‘The app shows a map with all ships carrying the 1OT- enabled O8P onboard. The Idea Is for seafarers to be able to show thelr intentions to the other sea-space users and onshore vessel traffic services centers to prevent potential collisions. Today, such intentions can only be communicated verbally via the VHF (very high frequency radio) which is subject to human errors, REX shares real-time route intentions, using dynamic ETA to display where ships will be at any given moment. The first results from the IOT are expected with fuel savings Up to 15% per year, directly transtating into financlal and environmental benefits, The OBP platform and REX both use open source components and run on Linux mink-computers onboard ships and onshore servers, while Captains communicate via an app on a mobile device of their choice. In the future, this solution will be integratedin the ship's bridge electronic equipment. Human Communication = Human Errors Captain of vessel "x" is standing on the bridge and notices vessel "Y” coming towards him. He grabs the VHF radio and calls up vessel “X". He gets a verbal confirmation that vessel “Y" will pass him on the southern side. Capt. Of vessel “X" explains, “f vessel "Y” had their REXapp running ust now, |would nothave had to call him up. Then | would simply have glanced at my screen and noticed that he had plotted the southern route. VHF is useful, butit is also problematic. There are many examples of misunderstandings in communication caused by different languages, dialects, and even about which ship are you actually talking to, which has ledto dangerous situations and collisions.” User-Driven Inriovation and DD3 (Develop and Deploy In3 morths) Close collaboration between end-users and marine software engineers is crucial to realizing the benefits af creFedeical Nox ~ Stem The Seely Stn 1OT at Sea. It's like kids in a candy store whereby we tell them what new functions we want and we have it almostimmediately, Based on these promising testbed results, there is a strong believe that [OT-enabled solutions can build an improved global system for sea tratficmanagement and, furthermore, a smart intermodal transportation system. Alltoday's ships are already packed with equipment and sensors collecting valuable data and information. But without a common standard and platform for the transfer and exchange of that data, It will be difficult to stitch together a comprehensive, seamless global network. By collaborating on common standards, we can connect and simplifymany solutions inthe maritime Industry.

The increased use of smartphones has raised public interest in possible health Issues associated with exposure to electromagnetic energy. People are concerned about exposure from Smartphone handsets & cell tower base stations. Radio signals are part of everyday life, emitted both by 12 natural sources like the sun, the Earth and the ionosphere, and by artifical sources such as: 4G LTE cell tower base stations, broadcast towers, radar facilities, remote controls, medical, electrical and electronic equipment. The radio frequency sources include transmitting towers such as AM, FM radio towers, TV towers, Cell phone towers, etc. emit radio frequency/ microwave radiation continuously. The level of EMF from sources has risen exponentially, by soaring popularity of wireless technology such as smartphones, cordless phones, Wi-Fi (Wireless Internet) WE-max and other wireless devices. The Smartphone and its base station communicate using a two way radio communication. This radio communication produces Electro-magneticfields.

While for officers much of the job is about awareness, concentration and making good decisions. Concentrating on things becomes harder and this is when accidents canhappen. Cause andeffect offatigue The possible causes of fatigue are virtually endless. it seems that tiredness is a very potent way for the body and mind to try and get the message that something Is wrong through to even the most stubborn person. Mental health (psychiatric) being away from home, workinghard, having to deal with difficut situations, the dangers of the sea, and of potentially uncertainty over when seafarers may gethome. Allthese can be draining, and cause fatigue. Disease and Illness There are many medical reasons that seafarers may become fatigued. With an aging work force and with concerns over health issues at sea, then there can be issues such as kidney and liver disease, electrolyte 16 5 problems, diabetes, hypothyroidism, anemia. ‘All can play a role and seafarers should be medically screened before going to sea or being employed. ‘Screening for such problems is important and can be @ lifesaver. Sleep problems If the demands of the vessel then throw in a few cargo watches or mooring stations, then the sleep patterns can become extremely confused and messed up.

Mariners should dedicate one hour for weight lifting. Fitness of a mariner on board is very important and beneficial. A mariner with a healthy physique is more reliable than a mariner who is obese. Fit mariners can work for longer and are more profitable, ‘Nowall the readers must be wondering that why fitness sso important on shipsalso? Wellfitnessbecomes most important thing when you areon ships and especially on ‘merchant ships. These merchant ships are designed for ‘minimal crew to get more profits. Everyone is assigned with theirworkand watch keeping duties and now if you are getting sick or unfit on ship then you are being a burden by not fulflling your duties and nobody likes burdens.

In this position, you'll maintain contact with all the ships coming in and out of your port, as well a5, manage the dockhands, tugboat workers, and others involved with keeping the port operating. Ship Superintendent : Shipping companies often have entire fleets, sometimes with dozens of ships. The (Geis cHAOMICLE Savantnenth Edin nd 2018 superintendent, who is sometimes the owner of the fleet, keeps track of which shipsare hauling what where. ‘Marine Surveying Jobs : Surveying in the maritime world requires advanced education, but this business can be very lucrative. If you enjoy the navigation part of thisindustry, surveying may begood for you. Maritime Lawyers Just like with most industries, there area number of lawsuits in the maritime industry every year. If you have a background in law and you love workingnearthe water, thisisanidealcareerchoice. Shipbuilding : For those Interested in engineering or construction, the shipbuilding industry might work well for you. As new ships are needed, you'll work to design them, taking into account that they need to float while carrying a certain amount of weight and working to incorporatethe latestin technology. Marine Biology : The seas are home to a number of interesting plants and animals, and if you work as 2 marine biologist, you'll get to do things like study see creature behavior, work to preserve the environment, and explore the depths ofthe ocean. Harbour Trucking : When cargos arrive in port they are generally placed on trucks or trains for delivery to customers throughout the country. Drayage and trucking companies hire organize the clearance and shipment of cargo and hire truckers to delivery. Custom Brokers : According to U.S. Customs there are over 11,000 licensed customs brokers in the United States. These brokers assist importers and exporters to meet customs requirements governing products entering and leaving the U.S. The work requires @ working knowledge of entry procedures, duties and taxes and classification and valuation of goods entering and leaving the country. You can find additior information regarding the requirements for customs brokerage at the USCBP website or by visiting the website of the National Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association of America. Ship Chandlers : Today's cargo ships are not afforded ‘much time in port and must do their shopping quickly to ensure they have all necessary provisions onboard prior to departure. Ship chandlers provide ships of all kinds with a one stop shopping center for ordering food and supplies that can be quickly delivered to the ship while alongside, Every port has a list of such companies that offer warehousing and deliveryjobs. Marine Technicians : Although every ship has an 19Technical eNewwe ~ Cadets engineering crew dedicated to the maintenance of the ‘mechanical and electrical systems onboard, it is impossible for them to be experts at fixing every problem. There are hundreds of companies hired by ships to provide engineering and electrical support and expertise to avold delays and keep ships moving from portto port.

In order to prevent this condition, plans of making 2 "No Ballast Ships” is under progress. A no ballast ship or similar system can drastically reduce this problem about-*No Ballast ship" here. 2, Sulphur Scrubber System : It's not practically possible to phase-out usage of conventional fuels in ships and hence reducing sulphur or SOx emission from the exhaust Isa solution that would be used extensively In the future. This can be achieved by installing an exhaust gas scrubber system wherein the sulphur is washed out from the exhaust gas of the engine resulting. in reduction of SOx up to 98 % along with other harmful particles, 3. Speed Nozzle : Speed Nozzles are generally used in small supply vessels and tugs to provide power to the ships. Along with new design features of merchant vessels, they can improve the propulsion efficiency of the ship by saving power up toapprox5 %, 4. Hull Paint : Another important factor that can Increase the fuel consumption of a ship and hence is improving hull properties. Applying correct paint at correct hull area can reduce the frictional resistance oftheship resulting in 3-896 of fuel savings. 20 5. Waste Heat Recovery System : This system is already in use for quite some time now, but making it more efficient can reduce the fuel consumption of the ship drastically up to 14% of the total consumption. The waste heat from the exhaust gases can be utlised to heat and generate steam which in turn can be used for heating cargo area, accommodation, fuel oll etc. 6. Exhaust Gas Recirculation : In this system, NOx emissions from the engine is reduced by recirculation of exhaust gas from engine cylinder with scavenge air which lowers the temperature of the combustion chamber. Some part of the exhaust air Is re-circulated and added to scavenge air of the engine which reduces the oxygen content of the scavenge air along with ‘temperature of combustion cylinder. With this method NOxreduction of upto 80% can beachieved. 7. Fuel and Solar Cell Propulsion : The fuel cell propulsion utilizes power from a combination of fuel cells, solar cells and battery systems. This helps in reduction of GHG emission toa great extent. 8. Sandwich Plate System (SPS) : It Is a process of composting twa metals plates by bonding it with polyurethane elastomer core. This avoids usage of steel which requires additional stiffening hence makes the structure light weight and less prane to corrosion. This technology can definitely play a good role in green ship recycling process as SPS feature includes superior in service performance and reduced through life maintenance.

Hull Cleaning Robots : With increasing consciousness for green shipping, technologies that help in higher fuel efficiency and reductions of carbon-dioxide emissions are in great demand, Hull roughness management using hull cleaning robots can playa vital rolein this regard. The build-up of marine organisms on ship's hull, also called bio-fouling, reduces the ship's speed by up to 110%. To compensate the drag, itis said that, a ship may have to use about 40% more fuel. Sometimes, toxic (GEINS CHRONICLE Seventeenth Edkon lune 2018 La coatings are applied to prevent bio-fouling but they pose threat to marine ecology. An innovative hull cleaning robot namely “Hull BUG” has been developed by Sea Robotics and funded by U.S. Navy Office of Naval Research (ONR) totacklethisissue. ‘The Robotic Hull Bio-inspired Underwater Grooming tool (Hull BUG), is small autonomous vehicle weighing 30 to 40 kg. Ituses four wheels and attaches itself to the underside of ships, usinga negative pressure device that creates a vortex between the BUG and the hull. tt crawls on the hull surface and performs frequent grooming (light cleaning of fouling films). Sensors provide obstacle avoidance, path cleaning, and navigational capabilities. fluorometer lets the robot detect biafilm and then it Uses rotary brushes or water-jets to scrub the fouling film off The developer of the robot estimates that, if these robots are put into practice, there can be 5% Improvement in fuel efficiency through proactive grooming, translating into @ savings of $15 billion annually for the shipping industry worldwide and reduction in 1 billion tons of greenhouse gases emitted bythe feet, Similar efforts to develop hull cleaning robots is being done by Keel crab. The product |-keel crab is semi- automatic robot fitted with ip68 high-resolution camera and can be guided by smartphone or tablet. Keel crab- oneisanunderwaterrobot, which canbe controlled bya wired remote control with live video feed. 3. Robot Ship Inspectors : Traditionally, inspection of huge cargo ships for cracks, corrosion or any wear to ensure that they comply with rising safety standardsis a time-consuming task for surveyors. Moreover, they brave to risk their own safety to climb every nook and cranny of the vessel themselves. Ship Inspection robots, is @ robotic technology which can help in this process andalsosave time and money for owners, improving the aTedinical eNews ~ Cadeta accuracy and quality ofthese importantinspections. A student team from ETH Zdrich and ZHdK in conjunction with Alstom Inspection Robotics has developed a lightweight and low-cost Ship Inspecting Robot (SIR). Its prototype is capable of conducting a visual inspection of ballast tanks and hard to reach parts in huge cargo vessels. its four magnetic wheels and overlapping wheelbase enable SIR to navigate the I- beams and other awkward obstacles found inside ship ballast. These robots can be controlled via a wireless transmitter with live video feed and its four infrared distance sensors help in detecting edges and obstacles. ¥ Similarly, MINAS (Marine Inspection Robotic Assistant System} and INCAAS (inspection Capabilities for Enhanced Ship Safety) are EU-funded projects which ‘aim to support the inspection process of large marine vessels by using robotics system. Furthermore, SmartBot is working on a project namely ROBOSHIP which aims to develop an intelligent multi- sensor robot system for inspection and maintenance of ‘the water ballast tanksin ships. Bluefin Robotics has also designed HAUV (an underwater robot) for US Navy to, autonomously perform ship hull inspection and obtain 100% sonar coverage, It is now developing it further to, ‘meet commercial challenges. 4. Anti-Piracy Robots : Recon Scout throw-out developed by Recon Robotics, is an anti-piracy robot which willfight against maritime piracy. 2 ‘The dumbbell-sized robot can be fired from cannon within 5 seconds and can survive throws up to 120 feet. Its magnetic wheels help it to crawl on the ship's hull before it reaches the deck. It can be controlled by Joystick from the nearby command center. The robots can keep eye on piracy activities using its cameras that can see even in darkness using infrared camera. The developer aims to quickly bring marsupial robot deployment system which enables the robot to break apart to elect smaller robots. The real time inside information can help the Navy team to assess the situation and act accordingly. Recently, the developer hhas been given the contract to deliver Recon Scout XT throw able micro-robot kits to assist US Navy. 5. Robotic Vessels : Recently, Rolls-Royce put forth the designs of unmanned remote controlled cargo ships. ‘Though some experts are doubting the idea to convert into reality, the manufacturer claims to do so within a decade using modern technologies. The world’s first remote-controlled unmanned cargo ship by Rolls-Royce isa concept which revolves around a no-crew ship that can be controlled from the shore. A research project called MUNIN — Maritime Unmanned Navigation through Intelligence in Networks supported by the European Commissions, aims at developing and testing thisautonomous ship concept. Moreover, a robotic unmanned surface vehicle (USV) has been developed by US Navy to sweep across the ‘ocean to detect mines using magnetic and acoustic technologies namely Unmanned Influence Sweep System (UISS), UISS is expected to hit a fleet of US Navy till 2017. Unmanned robotic vessels can help to fight piracyas well forwhich researches are goingon. Robotization in the maritime industry can help in accomplishing a variety of important tasks with greater efficiency and safety, provided they do not affect the a / = opportunities in the industry which are already grim in several parts around of the world. Though robots can (GEIS CHRONICLE Seventeenth Edlon June 2018Tednical eNews ~ Cadets perform and help in many crucial jobs, it would be ‘extremely difficult for them to replace the experience, knowledge, and skills which seafarers bring along with them to the sea, A healthy balance between robotization and seafarers’ efforts Is the key to enhancing the quality and safety of shipboard work for the benefit of the whole industry.
