IMO moves to amend SOLAS requiring reporting containers lost at sea

Catégories associées : Maritime, Unclassified

The Maritime Safety Committee of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has moved a step closer in its efforts to institute mandatory reporting requirements for containers lost overboard.

The most recent focus on the safety issues related to lost containers and the need for reporting requirements, as well as efforts to reduce the loss of containers, started at the May 2021 meeting of the Safety Committee in response to a rash of container accidents.

The IMO’s Sub-Committee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers agreed to a draft of new requirements for mandatory reporting of lost freight containers at sea during its most recent meeting, which concluded last week. Highlighting the serious hazard to navigation and safety at sea in general, and in particular to recreational sailing vessels, fishing vessels, and other small craft, the Sub-Committee set out a specific set of amendments to the SOLAS and MARPOL treaties.

In May 2021 when the Maritime Safety Committee agreed to initiate new measures to detect and report containers lost at sea. The Committee sought to define the scope of the problem by emphasizing the growth in container shipping and the sheer volume of containers at sea at any given time.

There are roughly 6,500 containerships currently active, with a combined capacity of nearly 26m teu, according to industry estimates.

In 2019, the World Shipping Council (WSC) reported that the international liner shipping industry transported approximately 226 million containers, with cargo transported valued at more than $4trn.

While the WSC estimated an average total of 1,382 containers were lost at sea each year in the 12 years of 2008 to 2019, an unusually high number of weather-related incidents especially in the winter of 2020-2021 drove the averages higher.

The WSC calculated that in 2020-2021 the average was over 3,100 containers lost each year.

The draft amendments to SOLAS chapter V add new paragraphs specifically addressing danger messages. They would require the master of every ship involved in the loss of freight containers to communicate the particulars of such an incident by appropriate means without delay and to the fullest extent possible to ships in the vicinity, to the nearest coastal State, and also to the flag State. The flag State would be required to report the loss of containers to the IMO.

Among the other provisions is a requirement to report the position and number of containers. Specific clauses focus on the reporting of hazardous materials that might be in the containers.

The drafts next move for approval at the spring 2023 meeting of the full maritime safety committee followed by adoption at the meeting in the fall of 2023. The Sub-Committee agreed that the draft amendments should enter into force on January 1, 2026, and the IMO Secretariat will develop the relevant module under the IMO Global Integrated Shipping Information System (GISIS) for the receipt of reports from flag States.

Sailing, is also technology :

“We need electricity to make the computer working, the GPS, the satellite antenna, the ballast pump…

There are three batteries on board : a small specific to start the engine and 2 slow discharge batteries.

We must recharge these batteries every day. To do this, we have 3 energy sources : the diesel engine with an alternator, solar panels, and a hydro generator. Each of its sources has its advantages and disadvantages. We sail 2 hours of motor a day and a little more if the weather is not nice and less if it’s sunny.”


Approximate of arrival, Thimoté recounts his first transatlantic :

The crossing “It’s going pretty well, the weather is nice and warm! Our boat is less recent than many other. We are going a little slower, but we are defending ourselves.” 

Cohabitation “We take turns regularly. Finally, we pass our time crossing paths, but we still take advantage of the moments of transition to exchange.”

Arrival “If everything goes the way we think, we hope to cross the finish line on Thursday (21.12.02).”

Difficulties “I think it’s the management of emotions. It’s not always easy to stay calm in tricky moments.”

Other projects “At the end of December or early January, I would make a nice announcement.”
