A word from the management
It has been one more successful year for
Samos, with two new building deliveries
reducing the fleet’s average age further
on, and seeing total tonnage climbing up
to 1.1 million DWT!
As you all are aware of, more modern
ships are yet to come and new targets are
set for the coming year.
Health and safety on board stand out
in our expectations, while continuous
training has been proved a key element
for effective-efficient operations and we
hope to see personal and professional
skills being more and more upgraded.
After so many years, a common Samos
Steamship culture is apparent both on
board and ashore and we are happy to
see familiar faces coming back over and
over again.
It is this sense of ‘togetherness’ that will
help us scramble up the hill of excellence
and see our mistakes become future
weapons against failure. It is also together that we will use our achievements
as steps to ascend higher on the stairway
of success.
The salved yachtsman Dr. Gero Hoschek, 67 year old retired journalist and language professor
thanks Cpt. Andrey Chernobrovkin on board the m/t Butterfly
We wish to you, your families and beloved,
a safe, healthy and prosperous 2008.

Two more Japanese built
tankers are expected in early

Brief News
• Samos received an AMVER award for
participation in the amver program, in
a ceremony held at the Apolon Palace
Athens. A special award was delivered
to the Operations Manager Cpt. G.S.
Maroulis for the salvage of the yacht
Rochelle last November.
• TRS, a media consulting company
was invited in Samos Premises and
performed an extensive media response
training including instructions and rehearsals for interviews and public briefings.
• Kerkis is in final repair stage at
Zhoushan Shipyard. Will be back in action by mid of January.

“A few days out of Greenport, NY, USA my 30’ trimaran sailing
yacht Windsong that I was trying to sail single-handed to the Azores
and Canary Islands met with high wind and rough seas at a position
about 250 miles East of Atlantic City, NJ, USA.
On Dec 01, Windsong took a huge wave over the deck that filled
the cockpit, started flooding the cabin and cracked the bridge deck
between the center hull and the starboard pontoon.
Hoping for improving conditions I only stuffed bedding material
in the developing deck cracks to keep the cabin as dry and warm as
possible as snow and freezing rain developed outside, driven by 55
kn wind.
Shortly after 22.00 we took several large breaking waves over the
deck again and I saw the entire starboard bridge deck and pontoon
break away being held now only by the rigging wires.
Now was the time to send out distress signals. I set off my portable GPS-EPIRB and made the first mayday call, with only estimated position data as my main GPS unit had been lost already
with breaking up of the yacht. After my second mayday call, M/T

caught in hostile North Atlantic waters. This time everything was done nighttime hence the absence of action photos. The salved yachtsman however, fluent in
words, tells us the story:
about 22.25, weak but readable, requesting good GPS data. ….Butterfly announced they were proceeding to my position, ETA in 50
min from 12 nm away.
In the meantime I tried to remain dry and calm, avoiding hectic,
panic and fear. I could see their lights after about 30 min already
and I realized that they were slowly and carefully positioning the
vessel to my windward side as mountainous seas and high winds
prevailed and snow flew.
Just as Windsong was within rope throwing range her cabin filled
up to the roof and I quickly evacuated to the deck, with no more
VHF communication possible.
I saw the crew assembling on Butterfly’s port rail with ropes and
other safety gear and they threw a tethered lifebuoy and large poly
lines. After several attempts I caught a 14 mm poly rope and tried to
secure it to my body and two small waterproof equipment cases with
my essential yacht gear and personal documents I hoped to save.
Due to my fingers being numbed by cold and the unwieldy rope this
took too long a time and after the mast collapsed, I grabbed another
line, which I tied around my waist, under my crotch and around my
left arm.
On the crest of a wave I jumped up and away from the Windsong
and the men on Butterfly pulled me up the 7 m freeboard within
seconds, as I pushed away from the tanker’s hull with spread, outstretched legs.
The Butterfly crew hauled me on deck without injury…. and by
about 01.15 I was in a warm dry bed in a clean neat cabin steaming
toward Canada.
I apologize for the delay in Butterfly’s schedule caused by my distress and wish to express my deepest gratitude to the master, captain,
crew and the owners of the M/T Butterfly for saving my life and
congratulate them on their competence and compassion for a fellow
mariner in the best traditions of civilized seamanship, as well as the
ship-shape, modern vessel I had the pleasure to be a guest on.
With deep gratitude, and best wishes for the upcoming holiday season, the New Year and the entire future

with Green Passport, setting off a whole
series of ships to come, that not only they
are operated environmentally friendly, but
they are constructed this way and certified
as well!
Captain Victor Shapoznikov, experienced in
ships’ deliveries, has taken command of the
ship and Chief Engineer Sapozhnikov Belyayev is leading the Engine Room Team.
A joyful delivery ceremony was held in the
Universal Tsu Shipyard where all the ship’s
new features were thoroughly analyzed over
sweet deserts and through glasses of fine
wine. Among cheers and laughs, everybody
shared the Master’s opinion that when it
comes to dry ships, it is now this one that
gets the first place in his hart.
Endorsing that, two large cakes appeared
from the ship’s galley to celebrate
Cpt. Victor’s birthday that happily
coincided with the very beginning
of this good ship’s sea life.
Only the best we can think of London Spirit and only the best to
wish!
It was on December the 7th when Samos
flag was hoisted in the mast of our new
pride, the double hulled cape bulker London Spirit.
Powered by the 6 cylinder 6S70 MCC
Mitsui Engine, this large lady achieved a
true 16.87kn speed during sea trials while
the service speed will be as fast as 14.70kn
laden. Both high speed and low consumption figures are attributed to her modern
hull design incorporating a new bow at the
front and an ‘efficiency duct’ around the
propeller in the aft.
Accommodation architecture is also new,
with an impressive high-lifted bridge for
better visibility and oversized windows
for the Master and C/Engineer’s cabins.
Her 9 cargo holds are strengthened for alternate loading of heavy cargoes and discharging by heavy grabs, while all ballast
spaces treatment meet Lloyds standards
for Protective Coatings in Water Ballast
Tanks.
But what really stands out about this huge
carrier is the ballast tanks arrangement
that forms a complete double skin and put
London Spirit among the distinguished
elite of the few double hulled capers
worldwide.
She is also our first vessel to be certified

Mikimoto Island
PSC Inspections: Lowest Score Wins
A Sea of Pearls
In a short break within the busy days of the London Spirit trials, the
delivery crew had the opportunity to visit the notorious Mikimoto
Pearl Island.
The exiting ways of pearl cultivating were revealed to us through an
interesting tour to all the islands premises.
Kokichi Mikimoto, the founder of the farm had a dream to decorate
all women of the world beautifully with his pearls. He worked towards this, tolerating failures and correcting mistakes until he managed to have several cultivating farms getting the lion’s share of the
worlds market.
The whole idea behind cultivated pearls is to stimulate the shell’s reaction by implanting a spherical object into it. The shell is then trying
to isolate the foreign object by applying a soft tissue around it. This
way, as the implanted ‘core’ size is controlled, the elapsed time until
the pearl is ready is reduced significantly. This tissue becomes hard
as time passes and the result is this glossy, hard round ball that makes
It seems that PSC regimes keep growing stronger and stronger
while the so called Memoranda of Understanding keep on being
multiplied.
In brief, the active ones so far are: Paris MoU, Tokyo ,Acuerdo
de Vina del Mar, Black Sea Mou, Mediteranean, Indian Ocean
MoU, Caribbean MoU, West and Central African (Abuja) and
last but not least, Cooperation Council for the Arab States of
the Gulf that comes to fill a list of 10 inspectorates if the USCG
is included as well.
Unfortunately the various MoU are not yet interlinked, nor have
they established a common inspection /reporting system. This
means along its way, that a ship can be sequentially inspected by a
different MoU in every port if it crosses regional boundaries.
Independent specialized databases are constructed though, where
any registered entity can log-on via internet and have a very clear
idea about any vessel’s or shipping company’s performance on
PSC detentions or deficiencies in general.
In fact, these common databases are used as primary screening
tools by all interested parties as charterers, brokers and oil majors.
To facilitate this screening and to ease the onboard workload resulting from subsequent inspections, IMO is currently promoting
worldwide MoUs harmonization urging them to adopt common
inspection standards and create a unified reporting database. The
progress on this is yet to be seen as many parts already express
doubts on whether such an achievement is possible for the near
future.
For the moment, unified or not, PSC records play a significant role
to the ships’ commercial value as it easily understood that nobody
wants to link his name to ship charged with a series of deficiencies
related to ‘safety of navigation’ or ‘pollution’ as they are commonly recorded.
To us it is more than clear that in this game, it is the lowest score
that makes the winner.

every woman’s eyes shine.
It was also women that played the vital part of the cultivation in the
old days. They had the roles of diving, implanting the pearl core into
the shell and also patrol the shell underwater beds and transfer them
to shelter in case of bad weather.
Of course now those methods are no longer followed as demand and
technique have both grown far beyond them, but a demonstration is
set to take the visitors back to the romantic era of pearl handcraft. We
stood there watching the retro looking, white dressed ladies diving
in the calm waters to produce this fine material realizing that behind
each remarkable object we see in the stores, there is a chain of remarkable people that dream, think and work for it to come true.
ZERO DETENTIONS
Although automation can be beneficial to officers of complex systems in terms of a reduction in workload or the release of people
to perform other onboard duties, it can also be quite negative to
system control if errors are introduced through its use.
Augmented integration of new systems and a move towards an
increasingly passive monitoring role for seafarers working with
some systems on the bridge can present an increased risk of accidental human error leading to unfavorable incidents at sea.
Concern over these types of incident has led to research being
undertaken on behalf of the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency
(MCA) to better understand the nature of human error in the use
of automated shipboard systems, and to minimize the risks posed
by automation.
Their conclusion so far is based on the paradox that people, instead of challenging, seem to be over-trusting automation equipment, especially when it comes to specialized, complicated systems that can not be analyzed by the average user.
It has to be born in mind that automation systems are simply machines and that they will definitely have their moment of failure.
It is for the operator of the system to be in position to control and

At the bottom line, it comes to effective Bridge and E/R teams to
get the job done.
