The topic was taken from Telegraph Volume 43 Number 07 edition July 2010.
Union welcomes mounting pressure for the industry to clean up its act by embracing the 'fuel of the future'.
Nautilus has welcomed a new drive by classification societies to encourage shipowners to adopt LNG as the fuel for the future .
Switching from heavy fuel oil (HFO) will not only be good for the environment, they say, but also good for business - with a study published by DNV last month forecasting savings of up to 45% over a 20-years period.
The French classification society Bureau Veritas also urged the industry to adopt LNG as a means of reducing harmful emissions. 'Shipowners and shipyards will need to be more imaginative and to find new ways to reduce air pollution,' 'NG power for ships reduces NOx emissions by 80-90%, eliminates SOx emissions, reduce particulate matters close to zero and cuts by 20-25%.
BV said it is already working on a number of project involving gas or dual gas / fuel oil for a range container ships, cruse vessel, ferries, ro-pax and ro-ros, as well as inland and coastal navigation ships. The society is also assessing the viability of refitting existing ships. 'Technical solutions to install gas fuel engines in various types of vessels are already in place, demonstrating the feasibility of this alternative to liquid fuels'. 'The hurdles we now have to overcome involve the bunkering storage and supply of NG to non-LNG carriers. Finding space for LNG tanks, for heating and cooling equipment, and for protection against spillage are all tasks we have in hand'.
'The results will be a step change in the cleanliness of shipping'. 'Today's ships burn the dirtiest fuel that is available. Gas powered ship will burn the cleanest. That is worth working for'.
The dutch flagged Coral Methane, is the world's first 'dual-fuel' combined LNG/ethylene/LPG carrier. Delivered the Dutch ownerAnthony Vederlast year, the 7,500 cum capacity vessel runs off LNG cargo boil-off gas when carrying LNG. In this mode, the ship emits 100% less sulphur oxide and particulate matter, and 92% less Nox and 25% less CO2 than when burning fuel Oil.
sea service Authority is leading Denmark is also spearheading moves to promote LNG - particularly for vessels operating shorts in the Baltic, English Channel and North Sea regions. The Danish Maritimea project to examine the feasibility of establishing a chain of LNG 'filling stations' for ships in the area.
The study is also looking at safety and technical issues, including seafarer training.
trNautilus senior national secretary commented 'Shipping is, and will remain, the dirtiest form ofansport as long as it continues to use HFO - the waste product of the refining process. The dangers to people living in port areas are well-documented and the health of seafarers continues to be put at risk.
'For sound environmental and economic reasons, it makes, sense to discontinue using HFO,' In Europe have technology to address this issue'.
Make my self ready for my journey. One side i was happy, but if looking from the other side it's so really heavy. One think, that we have already been walked together for almost 4 years even though it has been separated by my journey for few times. The journey will be started from my place Jakarta at 1850LT to Amsterdam at 0530LT one day after.

Tiring journey, started 0530LT till 1300LT have to wait all clearance well done without nothing to do. The journey was continued to Rotterdam and it was taken until 1900LT. After that looking for my missing family in Breda for few hours before going back to Rotterdam at 2400LT.
20100708
The same condition as a day before, that everything should be ready at 0530LT early in the morning. From Rotterdam, I have to go to Amsterdam for flight at 0805LT to Gothenburg. 0935LT my plane was landed with safe without any problem. At the end my journey was finished in Brofjorden and will be started with the new life to support all of thinks.
Thanks God to save my soul and bring me to follow what your plans are. I trust and believe that You have never leaved me alone on my way, and You always give me the best in my life, Amien.
Saya ingin sekali berbagi pengalaman mengenai salah satu Sekolah Yang Selalu Mempunyai Masa Depan Cerah bagi yang bernaung didalamnya. Dimana saya adalah merupakan salah satu Alumni dari sekolah ini. Dan ternyata hasilnya sangat dapat dibanggakan. Kutipan ini saya ambil dari : http://stipjakarta.ac.id/stip/web/id/?p=1
Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Pelayaran adalah Pendidikan pelayaran yang berada dibawah naungan Badan Diklat Perhubungan Republik Indonesia. Berdiri sejak tahun 1953 Akademi Ilmu Pelayaran yang menyelenggarakan Program Diploma III (setara dengan BSc) dengan 2 jurusan antara lain: Nautika dan Teknika (sertifikat kompetensi Klas III), lama pendidikan 3-4 tahun.
Pada tanggal 27 februari 1957 AIP diresmikan oleh Presiden Pertama RI Ir. Soekarno. Saat itu juga menjadi Akademi Pelayaran Pertama di Indonesia. Lokasi kampus berada di Jl. Gunung Sahari, Mangga Dua Ancol, Jakarta Utara.
Pada tahun 1962 AIP menyelenggarakan kerjasama dengan Akademi Pelayaran Amerika yaitu Kings Point untuk kelas khusus. Sejak didirikan, AIP telah memilki reputasi yang baik sebagai Pusat pendidikan Pelayaran sehingga pada tahun 1974 sampai dengan 1984 AIP berhasil menyelenggarakan pertukaran pelajar dengan Tanzania, Malaysia dan Bangladesh.
Pada tahun 1964 Akademi Ilmu Pelayaran Niaga dan Akademi Telekomunikasi dilebur menjadi Akademi Ilmu Pelayaran. sehingga AIP mendapat lisensi untuk melaksanakan 4 program studi: Nautika, Teknika, Ketatalaksanaan dan Kepelabuhanan (KTK) dan Elektronika & Telekomunikasi.
Pada tahun 1983 Akademi Ilmu Pelayaran berubah nama menjadi Pendidikan dan Latihan Ahli Pelayaran (PLAP) dan diberikan lisensi untuk melaksanakan program Strata A, Strata B dan Strata C dengan 4 jurusan: Nautika, Teknika, Telekomunikasi Pelayaran dan Ketatalaksanaan dan Kepelabuhanan (KTK). Strata A merupakan program 3 tahun yang setara dengan BSc dengan sertifikat kepelautan kelas 3, Strata B merupakan program 1 tahun untuk pelaut yang memiliki pengalaman berlayar 2 tahun setelah mengikuti pendidikan Starta A dan memiliki sertifikat kepelautan kelas 2 dan Strata C merupakan program pendidikan dengan sertifikat kepelautan kelas 1.
Pada tahun 1995 PLAP mendapatkan lisensi untuk menyelenggarakan Program DiplomaIV dengan 3 Jurusan: Nautika, teknika dan Ketatalaksanaan dan kepelabuhanan (KTK) yang setara dengan Sarjana program kepelautan.
Pada tahun 1998 Institut diberi lisensi untuk menyelenggarakan DIklat Familiarization Training, Basic Safety Training, Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boat, Advance Fire Fighting, Tanker Familiarization, Oil Tanker, Liquified Gas Tanker, Chemical Tanker, GOC-GMDSS, Medical First Aid Training, Medical Care Training dan Radar /ARPA Training.
Pada bulan maret 2000 Pendidikan dan Latihan Ahli Pelayaran (PLAP) berubah status menjadi Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Pelayaran (STIP) dengan struktur organisasi baru yang membuka kesempatan bagi STIP untuk menjawab tantangan melaksanakan tingkat pendidikan yang lebih tinggi sampai ke jenjang S2 dan S3.
Dan akhirnya pada bulan april 2002 STIP menempati Kampus baru di Marunda Jakarta Utara.
Sejarah Kepemimpinan STIP dari masa ke masa adalah sebagai berikut :
1. Kalangie 2. Capt. M. Wibowo 3. Capt. R. Soebakti 4. Capt. Bintang Siregar 5. Capt. Harun Rasidi 6. Capt. Mispantoro 7. Soegiarto 8. Capt. Istopo 9. Capt. L. Moniaga 10. Capt. Budi Sunarjo 11.
