A series of oversight failures – chief among them the lack of a roving patrol and two exits that led to the same space – proved fatal for 34 people trapped in a fire aboard the dive boat Conception. In the December/January 2021 issue of Professional Mariner, we examine the findings of the National Transportation Safety Board and what might be coming on the regulatory front to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again. Coverage also includes global efforts to help 400,000 seafarers return home amid the deepening COVID-19 crisis; the rise of pirate attacks on vessels and oil rigs in the southern Gulf of Mexico; and the latest in propeller and rudder innovations to improve efficiencies and cut costs. Plus industry-leading casualty coverage for the United States and Canada.

They ask you pointed questions, to which they expect straightforward answers. Perusal completed, they then scrutinize all of the related safety systems, from bilge to antennas — even the ship’s bell.

In the brief cellphone video recorded by a crewmember on the offshore supply vessel (OSV) Remas, the pirates walk back and forth on the deck of the ship, clenching their guns and using them to point as they order around the crew. Their faces are draped in clothing and bandanas.

Analysis points to faulty loading, low ballast in Golden Ray rollover
While the salvage of the sunken vehicle carrier Golden Ray has been delayed for months due to COVID-19 and the hurricane season, analysis by the U.S. Coast Guard has determined a possible cause for the rollover: a combination of vehicles placed too high on the ship’s decks, and not enough ballast water gave the placement of the cargo.

Advanced props, rudders provide new efficiencies below the waterline
It took a decade or two from the invention of the marine propeller in the 19th century for the technology to become widely accepted. Thereafter, adoption has been nearly universal, but progress toward improved efficiencies has come in fits and starts.
