The Carre D'as may be used to lure other vessels into pirates' hands.
Three more ships were attacked by pirates off Somalia’s coast at the weekend.
Reports also indicate that a naval ship has captured 14 suspected pirates in the Gulf of Aden.
A warning has also been circulated that a French yacht seized last week may be being used to carry out pirate attacks while the two French citizens onboard are reported to be safe.
A St Vincent & Grenadines-flagged Chinese cargo ship came under attack off Somalia on Friday night. Crew onboard noticed a blue tug – believed to be the Nigerian 1,100-gt Yenegoa Ocean – and increased their speed. The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) has warned ships operating in the area to be on the look out for the 1975-built tug which was seized at the start of August and was suspected of being used to carry out further attacks.
On Saturday a Singaporean gas-carrier was approached by pirate vessels but managed to escape capture. The same happened to a Thai bulk carrier the following day.
Although some or all of the three ships were fired on there were no reported injuries.
In a separate development an unidentified naval vessel is said to have arrested 14 pirates and destroyed their boat at the weekend.
Andrew Mwangura of the East African chapter of the Seafarers Assistance Programme has warned ships in the area to be on the look out for the French yacht Carre D’as which was seized last week. It is believed the boat may be being used to approach other yachts or ships.
A suspected Somali pirate boat.
The French couple onboard the yacht – Tahiti-based Jean-Yves Delanne and wife Bernadette – were taken off the boat at the port of Alula at the tip of the Horn of Africa. They have now been ushered to a hideout in the remote Hawo mountains in the semi-autonomous region of Puntland with a ransom of $1.4m reportedly demanded for their release.
Reports at the weekend of the release of the 44,500-dwt bulk-carrier Iran Deyanat (built 1983) and its crew appear premature. It is now believed that a ransom demand of $2m has been met by owner IRISL and that the pirates are ready to release the ship and its crew once they receive the money.

==============================
A fully-laden Frontline tanker came under fire from pirates in the Gulf of Aden at the weekend.
The 155,100-dwt Front Voyager had to increase its speed to full power after a suspicious craft was spotted coming alongside at around 10:00 local time on Saturday.
Crew onboard the Bahamas-flagged suezmax raised the general alarm and tried to fend off the attackers with fire hoses.
A spokesperson for V.Ships Norway, manager of the 1992-built ship, said between 10 and 15 shots were fired at the tanker but that all 23 crew members were safely inside the ship’s quarters. There were no injuries and the ship is said to be undamaged.
Coalition forces were notified and a warship, believed to belong to the Danish Navy, proceeded at full speed to the tanker’s position.
However, as the tanker was far off, the naval vessel dispatched a helicopter which eventually warded off the pirates.
There are unconfirmed reports that the naval ship later picked up and arrested 14 pirates involved in the attack.
The Front Voyager was en route from Libya to an unspecified Chinese port with a full cargo of crude. The officers are Russian with Filipino ratings.
The attack on the Frontline ship was the fourth reported in the Gulf of Aden at the weekend. A Chinese vessel, a Singaporean gas-carrier and a Thai bulk-carrier are also said to have come under attack (click here to read article) .
Malaysian owner MISC Berhad, however, denied that another one of its ships was beset by pirates at the weekend. Media reports indicated that the 7,900-teu Bunga Seroja Satu (built 2006) was attacked. An MISC spokesperson confirmed on Monday that the ship was in the region at the time but that the ‘attack’ was a false alarm as fishing vessels were mistaken for pirate vessels.

NOL arranges multi-billion euro loan to finance Hapag-Lloyd bid
FRANKFURT (Thomson Financial) - Temasek's Neptune Orient Lines (NOL) is arranging a multi-billion euro loan to finance its planned bid for TUI AG.'s Hapag-Lloyd shipping unit, Handelsblatt newspaper reported, citing sources within the financial industry. Handeslbatt said the loan may total up to 7 billion euros. Although NOL declined to comment on the matter, the company had said some weeks ago it is interested in Hapag-Lloyd. TUI last week sent the sales prospectus for Hapag-Lloyd to possible bidders, who can make indicative offers next month. TUI said earlier this year it decided to divest Hapag-Lloyd either by a sale to an investor, through a merger with a rival or via a spin-off.

MPA Simulation Exam for Deck Officer
==================================================================
Bridge : MPA tower in Singapore Polytechnics, 240 degree view Bridge.
Locations to be familiarized: Horsburgh Light House, 1 Fathom Bank, Singapore Straits, Singapore Port Harbor Limit.
Charts to be observed : BA 502, 503, 3833, 4040, 4041 and all other dual-budgeted charts in above mentioned area.
Possible Emergency Situations: Navigational equipment blackout (Radar, GPS) , Collision, Grounding, Man Overboard, Overtaking Situation, Congested condition with numerous fishing boats or vessels, Main Engine Failure, Steering Failure.
1. Familiarize to bridge and equipment. If possible, be familiarized to bridge as a wheel-man of another simulator exam candidate.
2. Proper passpage planning (No go area, contigency anchorage/passage, turning circle, reporting points, Abort point etc.) and proper and effective usuage of equipment (parallel indexing, navigation light, comparing radar heading, gyro, compass, comparing position available from various sources etc. ) is essential.
3. Relax yourself, forget about the simulation exam and behave as you are taking over the normal routine watch. Remember Examiner is being attested not only your knowledge, your experience but also your confidence. In my view, I believe that examiner will point on each skill 33.33%.
4. Pre-training of simulation program with your friends is recommended. Arrange the emergency procedures to be followed properly in advance.
5. Use various sources for position plotting (visual, radar, azimuth, gps, etc.). Use VHF for port control. Use appropriate channel only. Use Intecom for internal call from bosun, captain, engine room. (Those are minor things but you will probably forget everything in the exam room.).
6. Your examiner will perform various roles as a Bosun, Captain, chief engineer or crew in your simulation exam. Try to behave to bosun only as a bosun not as a captain or examiner.

STX designs for World Largest Container Ship - source: mk news
STX Shipbuilding Co., Ltd announced on Wednesday that the company has succeeded in developing a 22,000 TEU containership -- the world’s largest shipping capacity. TEU is a unit cargo capacity, and a 1 TEU ship can load one unit of 6 meter-container; therefore, the containership recently developed by STX can load 22,000 units of 6 meter-container. According to STX Shipbuilding, the world’s largest containership currently in service is a Danish ship of 13,500 TEU capacity and Germany had developed a 20,000 TEU containership last year.
53 Ore Ships For MOL by 2014 - source: American shipper
MOL announced plans to construct 53 new iron ore carriers by 2014. The ships will range in size from 300,000 deadweight tons down to 80,000 dwt. Worldwide demand for iron and steel is expected to show stable growth, with countries such as China continuing to produce more crude steel. Increased steel production will naturally boost demand for efficient, reliable transport of raw materials, the company said. MOL, as the world's largest operator of iron ore carriers, has developed a large-scale fleet with a wide variety of vessels to meet various customer needs.

Tough MCA Inspections for april 2008
According to mgn, MCA detained 6 foreigned flagged vessels calling to their ports during April 2008. Out of them, two are under Paris MOU white list, two on grey list, one on black list and one unlisted.
In this case, MOU (in wikipedia, it is a document describing a bilateral or multilateral agreement between parties. It expresses a convergence of will between the parties, indicating an intended common line of action. It most often is used in cases where parties do not intend to imply a legal commitment. It is a more formal alternative to a gentlemen's agreement. However, in some cases, depending on the exact wording, MoUs can have the binding power of a contract.) means Memorandum of Understanding in which regional groups of Port State Control are gathered, made agreement and set standards between themfor eliminating the operation of sub-standard ships. They share informations about the individual ship which is calling to their ports and rated as white, grey or black etc. depending on the conditions of the ships whether complying with the requirements of international conventions STCW, MARPOL, SOLAS etc. There are 8 regional groups which can be shortlisted as B A L T I C P M. I don't have much time and so some MOU official web sites will be found out later.
1. Baltic MOU
2. Abujar MOU
3. Latin-america MOU
4. Tokyo MOU
5. Indian Ocean MOU
6. Carribean MOU
7. Paris MOU
8. Mediterranean MOU
One Port State Control can be a member of two different MOU. e.g Canada PSC is a member of Paris MOU and Tokyo MOU. They also are empowered to inspect the competency of officers and crew onboard.
Here is what mgn says..
The UK's Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) says that six foreign-ships ships were detained in the country's ports during April 2008 after failing Port State Control (PSC) inspection.
Latest monthly figures show that there were 6 detentions of foreign flagged ships in UK ports during April 2008 and 2 vessels under detention from previous months. The overall rate of detentions compared with inspections carried out over the last twelve months was 5.4%, a slight increase on March's twelve month rate.
Out of the detained vessels, two were registered with a flag state listed on the Paris MOU white list, two were registered with flag states on the grey list, one was registered with a flag state on the black list and one was registered with an unlisted flag state.
Vessels detained in April included the 1,499 gt Panamanian-flagged general cargo vessel Aladin 1 which was detained in Coleraine, Northern Ireland with an inoperative CO2 Fire Alarm, inoperative emergency lights, an engine room quick-closing valve activator leaking oil, unapproved inflatable life jackets. The MCA judged that there were two ISM major non-conformities, maintenance of ship & equipment and development of plans for shipboard operations. The vessel had been detained previously by the MCA in Shoreham during October 2007, and at the time of the latest detention had a target factor of 177.
A second vessel judged to have two ISM major non-conformities - maintenance of ship and equipment and development of plans for shipboard operations - was a 10,298 gt Liberian-flagged refrigerated cargo vessel Amer Annapurna, detained in Sheerness with numerous serious oil leaks from engine room machinery, insufficiently clean engine room and save-alls full of oil.

Dhaka: The Bangladesh meteorological office said on Sunday in its long-range forecast for May that at least one cyclonic storm may develop from the depressions in the Bay of Bengal this month. The forecast was issued by the meteorological office after a meeting of experts.
The cyclone, if it forms in the Bay, would be called ABC, from a panel of code names selected for cyclones in the Bay of Bengal this year, a Bangladesh senior meteorologist and cyclone expert said. Cyclone Nargis struck the Burma delta earlier this month and may have killed as many as 15,000 people. After Nargis, the meteorological office in Bangladesh is closely watching the weather patterns in the Bay of Bengal. When cyclone Nargis formed in the Bay of Bengal, the Bangladesh authority also warned Bangladeshis about the cyclone via radio and multiple TV channels.
