Credit: NTSB Tanker Master’s Fatigue Cited in $73 Million Marine Accident November 23, 2021 A tanker operating company’s decision to change masters without a handover period led to a $72.9 million marine accident off the coast of Louisiana, according to a National Transportation Safety Board Marine Accident Brief issued Tuesday. Marine Accident Brief 21/24 details the NTSB’s investigation of the October 17, 2020 accident, in which the tanker Atina struck the oil and gas production platform SP-57B near Pilottown, Louisiana. The Atina, with a crew of 21, was attempting to anchor in the Southwest Pass Fairway Anchorage in the Gulf of Mexico when it struck platform SP-57B.

Sweet homecoming to my dreamland – Bangladesh By Captain Forkanul Quader (6N) 18 November 2021 (My story below is a factual one. It is in snap shots. I was not able to provide details due to paucity of time. I hope to share more in future) Snapshot 1 On 30th November 1971, I went to visit Iqbal Bhai (Mohammad Iqbal – a Marine Academy senior & fellow Chittagonian) to exchange views on rising political tension. Situation was very tense in Karachi when I visited Iqbal Bhai one day before bombing started. He was a fellow Bangali officer on a Baksh Line ship. We both talked and decided to see Capt. Nurul Haque (Pakistan Navy) at his resident in Nazemabad. He and his wife were known as common `Dula Bhai & Apa’ to all Bangladeshi seafaring officers. After a fabulous, mouth-watering dinner we sat down with Dula Bhai and raised...

Deep sea port: From Payra to Matarbari Prothom AloArifur Rahman 13 Nov 2021 Foreign cargo vessels arrive at the Matarbari power plant port channelProthom Alo Trying to balance international politics, the government has been switching the prospective site for a deep sea port from Sonadia in Cox’s Bazar to Payra in Patuakhali and then to Matarbari. A few billion taka has already been spent on preparing for the port at Payra. But now Payra and Sonadia have been dropped, and now finally the government has decided to construct the deep sea port at Matarbari in Cox’s Bazar. Concerned government officials have said a port is presently under construction at Matarbari. The port is being constructed for the import of coal and equipment for the 1200MW coal-fired power plant there. The port is now to be expanded further and to be made into a deep sea port. This will entail an...
HOW LONDON BECAME A HUB OF FINANCIAL SERVICES

HOW LONDON BECAME A HUB OF FINANCIAL SERVICES by F R Chowdhury 12 November 2021 Banking and insurance play vital role in economic development of any country. International trade, commerce and industry could not develop and function without the key role of banking and insurance. We can understand how banking developed because it provides the facility to make collective investment in viable projects. But it seems nobody is certain as to how insurance came into this world. However, most people now believe that insurance originated from the needs of the shipping world. In early days when there was still no acceptable currency, trade was done on barter exchange. In other words traders used to exchange goods according to supply and demand. Those days the ship-owner was the trader as he would collect goods and go to another land for profitable exchange. As he makes money and become rich, he...

After dealing with supply-chain issues of its own over the summer, California’s Port of Oakland is now ready “to be put to use to help shore up” the crisis, its Maritime Director Bryan Brandes said last month. Over in Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis has pitched the state’s 15 seaports as the relief the U.S. needs, saying local harbors “are used to operating around the clock.” And in Texas, Governor Greg Abbott launched an “Escape California”...
