Suez Canal Blockage shows that Indians are all SCUM, IRRESPONSIBLE and Corrupted to the CORE

[Hypocrite-The]

To be fair to the Ah Nehs, they, together with the Indonesians, the Malaysians have a long proud history in maritime with their maritime training schools long established before Singapore decided to follow suit by having our own training centre only in the late 2000s. Before that, we all went to Singapore Poly for our training. Singapore used to be the leader in salvage operations. Ang Moh salvage experts based in Singapore offices would train our local guys way back in the early 70s. Many of our locals went on to become salvage masters, superintendents. But many also have longed retired. Back then most owners of sunken ships in Asia would engage the services of Salvage companies based in Singapore. They trusted the expertise of our Sinkie crew. But now most crew are Indons and Pinoys. Hardly see any locals now working in this industry except for few local divers.

That is because locals are more expensive and indons and pinoys are cheaperer...so PAP has forced singkies to loose out. For these high end industries, my past experience is companies prefer to hire competent personnel,,,price was international market rate,,,but with all the rent seeking by TMCs etc etc,,,they just want slave labour. And when things fuck up,,it cost them more,,,and like for shipping, oil and gas, resource etc...the profits are huge and the worst thing to do is save on human resource,,,I view human resource as preventative maintenance, good and competent employees prevent fuck ups,,,now got fuck up,,,see the costs? the owner of this ship is basically getting screwed,,, insurance pay outs etc,,,and the whole industry and world gahmens looking at u,,,,sure kenna marked.



Suez Canal Grounded Ship To Face Insurance Claims Worth Millions

The pandemic hit the shipping world is already grappling with tremendous congestions and traffic when the Suez Canal event hit them. The maritime industry is staring at a huge delay and backlog due to stranded Evergreen stuck in the Suez Canal.

The owners and insurers of the ships stuck in this logjam are staring at lawsuits and claims amounting to millions of dollars. Experts fear that a loss is inevitable as claims are bound to arise. Even if the evergreen ship is refloated quickly there will be some delay in transit and hence the claims.

The 400 m ship ran aground in the Suez Canal earlier on Tuesday morning, halting ship movements in the area. As per the statement issued by the Suez Canal Authority, the ship couldn’t steer its way out of the dust storm and high winds, and ran aground. Global Shipments would be delayed for days because of this blockage.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the vessel is still aground and authorities are still trying to free it. Earlier reports emerged of the ship being partially refloated but that turned out inaccurate.

Ship Broke into Two While Sailing
Suez Canal is an important shipping route that acts as a daily transit point for 30% of global container shipping volumes. Without this, ships have to take the African Cape route to travel between Asia and Europe which takes a week longer.

The owner of the grounded ship, the Japanese firm Shoei Kisen KK along with their insurers are in deep waters as the Suez Canal can claim for revenue loss.

“All roads lead back to the vessel,” said David Smith, head of marine at insurance broker McGill and Partners.

“Container ships of this size are likely insured for hull and machinery damage of $100 million to $140m, insurance sources say. The ship was insured in the Japanese market”, two of the sources said.

The salvage operation costs have to be borne by the hull and machinery insurer.

“It is potentially the world’s biggest ever container ship disaster without a ship going bang,” said a shipping lawyer choosing to stay anonymous.


At present Smit Salvage, a subsidiary of the Dutch marine services company Boskalis is entrusted with the salvage operation. The company is sending a 10 membered team to Egypt for this purpose.

Oil Price & Supply Chain Issues
Meanwhile, the cargo owners of ships stuck in the logjam will be pressing for claims for missed deliveries and loss of perishable goods.

“If you have a constant build-up of ships, there are massive supply chain issues,” said Marcus Baker, global head, marine and cargo at insurance broker Marsh.

UK P&I Club, the protection and indemnity insurer for the grounded ship Ever Given haven’t made any official statement as of yet. Their insurance cover has injury claims, pollution claims under the ambit. Hence these insurance claims have to be reinsured through a programme run by the wider International Group of P&I Clubs.

At present, 30 ships are blocked north of the grounded ship and 3 are down south. Dozens more could be implicated around the northern and southern entrance of the Suez Canal.


20 oil tankers carrying crude and refined products are already affected by this. New Zealand cargo is held up in the blockage.

David Robb, a supply chain management professor at the Auckland University revealed that the congestion and traffic in shipping routes has increased oil price by 6% and the Suez Canal blockage will elevate it further.

“Shipping schedules have quite limited slack and lots of ports including those in New Zealand are already facing weeks of delay” said David Robb.

Threat of Canal Damage
Added to this, there’s a potential threat of damage to the canal. Photos reveal that the port authority had to employ a digger to remove earth and rock from the canal bank to free the ship’s now.

There could be claims for damage to the canal, said Rahul Khanna, global head of marine risk consulting at Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS).

According to AGCS, groundings are the most common shipping incident in the Suez Canal. The canal has had 25 groundings in the last 10 years.


Insurers are not worried about any spillage or pollution claims in the canal at this moment. The technical management company Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement that is looking after the grounded ship has ruled out pollution claims stating there isn’t any pollution

I don't think it's a cockup. This could be an act of deliberate sabotage.

Considering the amount of traffic...surely the port authority have huge experience n knowledge to deal with such issues. Surely this is not the 1st time this has happened

Container ships are getting bigger and those stacked up containers above deck makes these vessels susceptible to strong winds.

Yes. I said thus before. Taiwan has just declared war on China. Blocking suez easier than straits of malacca. Indian crew as scapegoats.

 

[syed putra]

Fucking ah neh worshipping m&d...

Have you even seen a can of kingfisher beer before?

Or you just believe everything your Indian boyfriend tells you?

Can't hold your drink, don't try kingfisher. Its for the rough and toughs.

Can't hold your drink, don't try kingfisher. Its for the rough and toughs.

Why dont try kingfisher? its basically water that is yellow in colour...rough and tough? C'mon Man

 

[syed putra]

Any able seaman knows how to navigate through winds and waves. This is basic skill required even for container truck drivers when they go for class 5 license.

If the crew can blame this accident on a sudden gust of wind it just shows how incompetent they are

Boy! Do you know the amount if force the ship is subjected to when a strong wind blows on its side? Did you do any engineering or wasted your time watching porn! Normally some ships maybe fitted with nozzles at the fore but owners normally try save on construction cost if possible.

the perps are advocating it was the weather that cause this,,,how many thousands of such ships traverse the canal??????and winds and sand storms are a common affair in Egypt,,,or is this a one in 50 years thing? if not more ships will kenna,,,why only this one?

They had a beer eith 19.7% alcohol content once. Not sure if its still available now.

 

[pvtpublic]

Gusts of wind and sand storms have been happening in Egypt since forever,,,so with the millions of transits since the founding of the Suez canal ..this is the 1st time it has happened? and due to the weather? C'mon Man....

I wasn't there so I wouldn't know, but I know the seas are highly unpredictable.

the black box data will shed light on the incident.

If i am the insurer, my balls will be trembling. Imagine the amount if losses from late delivery snd delay claims. Plus those extra cost some owners will submit if they go through the cape.

Kingfisher

Kingfisher, "The King of Good Times", is India's most recognized and widely available beer -- it's everywhere! The brand has been associated with sports, fashion, and even an airline. Kingfisher was launched in India in 1978 and has a huge market share of about 40%. Its flagship beers are Kingfisher Strong (containing around 8% alcohol) and the regular Kingfisher Premium (which has 4.8% alcohol). These economy segment beers are light tasting, easy-drinking lagers with plenty of malt.

In order to remain relevant and fend off competition, the company has also introduced a variety of premium beers targeted at certain demographics. Fashionable and full-bodied Kingfisher Ultra ("Live the Ultra Life") was launched in 2009. It's a premium mild beer with about 5% alcohol, made from imported malt and hops. The company followed it up with a strong version, Kingfisher Ultra Max ("Live Life to the Max), in 2015. This premium strong beer is definitely more refined and easier to drink than the regular Kingfisher Strong. Kingfisher Storm ("Live the Swag Life") hit the market in 2017. It's a premium strong beer with a smoother taste, designed to take on beers such as Carlsberg Elephant and Tuborg Strong. In late 2019, Kingfisher launched its first craft beer, Ultra Witbier, in select parts of Karnataka including Mysore and Bangalore. This beer has less than 5% alcohol.

Also modern container ships have containers stacked up high above deck. Most ships have empty decks and sail on ballast to lower hull above water.

Dude.....so only that one ship have containers stacked that high etc etc?

 

[A Singaporean]

the ship's black box should be able to show whether the crew was at fault or indeed there was a sudden gust of wind which is quite possible too considering the mass of containers could act like a sail.

Cannot swim don't say lampar too heavy.

Sinkies stopped sailing when invome was good on the ground. Pay offered to philippinos and Indonesians on board western owned ship are very good. Some officers gets two month on, two montbs off.
Problem is last twenty years or so, indians started to dominate the market. It started with oil companies hiring them, making them surveyors, superintendent etc. Asian owners were fucked. But european owners normally got it easy. I think in shell especially, they already dominate marine department. Now even petronas misc hire them.

The point is anywhere where industries or nation states open up to foreign labour,,the locals suffer

It tastes like Anchor.

A cold pint of KF beer at the hotel lounge was the only thing I looked forward to during my stays at that wretched country
