editorial
Dear readers,
I should really
begin with “Dear
The Bridge”, because
seven
years ago to the
day, the very
first edition of
our company
newsletter was
published. And
now that the
30th issue has
been printed, please let me congratulate
you on this anniversary, “Dear The Bridge”,
and send out a big “Thank you” to the editorial team and to everybody who, quarter
after quarter, has ever contributed their effort and commitment to the success of this
publication. This jubilee issue is still true to
the announcement made in the first edi-
tion: “There will be a special topic in every
issue, as we would like to keep you updated on changes, innovations, and economic
trends in the shipping business.”
This edition of “The Bridge” takes on two
global subjects of immense importance:
We give you an account of successful measures towards reducing exhaust fumes in
international shipping, and report on the
sad certainty that a lax attitude towards
the risk of an HIV/AIDS infection has led to
a dramatic rise in new infections especially
in Eastern Europe.
“The Bridge” is supposed to be a veritable
bridge between our crews and the people
ashore; this is what the first edition promised. 29 issues later, we have a number of
professional articles for you, as well as interesting reports on the second RHL Crewing Seminar in Manila, a film premiere, a
basketball tournament, and generally on
the people – at sea and ashore – who stand
behind Hamburger Lloyd.
Come and cross this bridge with us for the
30th time. I hope you enjoy the read.
Cordially,
In a new series, we would like to give our
shore-based readers an impression of all
the things that happen when a ship approaches a port – a look behind the scenes,
so to say. The pilot coming on board is the
first thing that happens, so this is what our
new series begins with.

China to toughen emissions control for ships
According to the latest IMO Green House
Gas study, published in 2014, international
shipping (while transporting about 90% of
world trade) produces about 2.2% of the
world’s total CO2 emissions. This figure was
2.8% in 2007, and the total CO2 emissions
from shipping reduced by over 10% between 2007 and 2012. This was despite continuing growth in maritime trade which
means that shipping is already delivering
carbon neutral growth. A target is still to
reduce the CO2 by 50% by year 2050.
The EU has already made headway in contributing to the international process at
IMO level following the adoption of the
so-called MRV Regulation (Regulation (EU)
2015/757) on the monitoring, reporting
and verification of CO2 emissions from maritime transport.

The Regulation, which enters into force in
2018, is intended to be the first step of a strategy geared towards a global IMO solution,
by helping ascertain the real contribution of
shipping to global CO2 emissions. From its
side, the IMO is also making good progress
towards the development of a global CO2
reporting system for individual ships, similar
to the EU MRV Regulation. These regulatory
developments should however not overshadow the efforts made by the industry itself.
Because of the cost of fuel, which is by far
a ship operator’s largest operational expenditure, the industry is also introducing a range of technical and operational measures to
reduce CO2 emissions.
emissions at three key port areas from January to reduce sulphur dioxide which
results in acid rain, causing respiratory difficulties and sometimes premature death,
said the Ministry of Transport.
The new rules will apply to merchant ships
navigating or anchoring in the waters of Pearl
River Delta (Hong Kong area), Yangtze River
Delta (Shanghai/Ningbo area) and the Bohai
Bay rim (Tianjin/Dalian area). The implementation is going to take place in four steps:
1. Starting on 1 January 2016, ports in the
emission control areas can require ships
at berth to use fuel oils whose sulphur
content does not exceed 0.5%.
2. Starting on 1 January 2017, ships berthing
at core port areas within the emission con-
trol areas are required to use fuel oils whose sulphur content does not exceed 0.5%.
3. Starting on 1 January 2018, ships berthing
at any ports within the emission control
areas are required to use fuel oils whose
sulphur content does not exceed 0.5%.
4. Starting on 1 January 2019, ships entering
emission control areas are required to use
fuel oil whose sulphur content does not
exceed 0.5%.
Currently, no ports have yet announced
the implementation of the regulation from
1 January 2016. As soon as more detailed
information about the ECA in China will be
released, it will be forwarded to the vessels.
Masters and Chief Engineers are also advised to follow-up the matter with charterers, as applicable.
About a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide are produced in the large
country China – with an upward trend: Half
of the global increase in CO2 emissions over
the past decade came out of Chinese chimneys. The following measures are aimed at
reducing CO2 emissions.

In the German version of the famous film
song “Ta pedia tou Pirea”, or “Never on
Sunday” (from the film of the same title), singer Lale Andersen sings “Ein Schiff
wird kommen” – a ship shall come – but
what exactly does that mean?
For our many readers ashore, but also for
our crews, we have prepared a loose suc-
cession of articles aimed at providing an
insight into the processes and procedures
directly connected to a ship entering the
port of Hamburg. The first part of this series
is a report about pilots – because the pilot
is the first to come on board when the ship
returns to Hamburg after a long voyage.
A maritime pilot is usually (in Germany alTH E

No. 30
There are pilots for nearly all of the world’s
busy harbours or river mouths, yet their
training is internationally inconsistent. In
many countries, pilots work as employees
or civil servants. In Germany, the sea and
river pilots are self-organised in nine pilot
associations (corporations under public
law) and offer round-the-clock pilotage
services in their respective waters on 365
days a year.
Apart from the sea and river pilots, the term
“pilot” is also used for deep-sea pilots in international shipping, and for trip pilots in
inland shipping. A deep-sea pilot supports
a vessel’s Master during navigation in open
waters.
Local parlance also knows the phrases
“Böschlotse” (embankment pilot) or “Flusslotse” (river pilot) for the pilots that work between Brunsbüttel and Hamburg or between
Bremerhaven and Bremen. And those pilots
that are employed on the Kiel Canal are colloquially known as “Kanallotsen” (canal pilots).
The German federal government is the supervisory authority of the pilots on the Elbe
(256, based in Hamburg), Kiel Canal I (134,
Brunsbüttel), Kiel Canal II/Kiel/Lübeck/
Flensburg (170 pilotage district Kiel, based
in Kiel), Weser II/Jade (110(2015), Bremerhaven), Weser I (41, Bremen), Ems (38, Emden) and the Baltic ports of Wismar, Rostock
and Stralsund (31, Warnemünde). These
figures refer to the year 2011. The ports
of Hamburg (75 pilots) and Bremerhaven
(28 pilots) have port pilot associations that
are bodies of the respective federal states.
Tides and fluviatile sediments keep changing the depths of rivers and canals. Wind,
constantly changing tides, other occurrences like mists, and the other traffic participants affect safe navigation differently at
different times. And since a pilot’s principal
duty is the protection of persons, ship and
environment, as well as supporting the
efficiency of navigation on the waterways
and in the ports, many waterways specifically require the assistance of a pilot. The
related pilotage fees are usually based on a
vessel’s tonnage. In Germany, pilotage has
been compulsory since 2003 in the districts
Ems, Jade, Lower Weser and Lower Elbe for
ships carrying dangerous goods. There are
international efforts to also establish compulsory pilotage for other well frequented
waters, like the western Baltic Sea (especially the Kadet Trench).
Pilot boats (with the internationally standardised marking “PILOT” on their sides) or
helicopters deliver pilots from one ship to
another, or from the pilot station to the vessel. Pilots also offer radar-based navigational

ladder
assistance service. This is possible due to
closed radar chains which have been erected along the most important traffic routes.
The pilots closely observe the radar screens
in the vessel traffic service centres and advise Masters or – in the case of especially
large ships – also their pilot colleagues on
board, via radio.

Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong
Two-week Business School Trip to China
In November 2015, I got the opportunity to
go on a two-week business school trip that
took me and my 40 class mates to Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. We were accompanied by two teachers from our business school and two local people who took
care of organisational issues in China.
China, representing one of the most important markets in the shipping industry, was
a very interesting place to visit – especially
for us upcoming shipping merchants. We
were able to learn a lot about Chinese culture, its economy, and the local situation.
Part of the programme took us to two of three
of the world’s biggest container terminals, in

Clemens Möhrle
we heard some interesting lectures from local
professors on China’s economy and history.
In addition to the lectures, a meet-and-greet
with some Chinese students was organised,
which was another highlight. Learning something about the students’ life routines, political views, future goals and dreams was very
interesting and impressive, since they could
vary a lot from our western opinions.
Talking about the different cities we went
to, I must say that Hong Kong has become

my favourite Chinese city so far. Although
every city had its own special charm, the
clash of nature and metropolis was very interesting to see, and the city itself is also very
different from what anything I had known so
far. I think spending the nights in the bars of
Kowloon with this nice group of students,
and meeting Mr Pane coincidentally, who
was travelling on business, for a delicious
dinner are the reasons why Hong Kong was
such a nice experience for me.

Second RHL Crew Conference in Manila
We did not have to wait for long: After
the success of the first Crew Conference
in March 2015, RHL – with the assistance
of the agency Abojeb – invited almost 100
participants to the second Crew Conference in Manila on December 2nd and 3rd.
The positive impression the first conference made was mirrored in the number of
participants: Compared to March, almost
twice as many officers and crew members
from various different Philippine regions
assembled in the Midas Hotel and Casino,
in order to spend two interesting days with
RHL representatives. And it was great to see
some familiar faces from March.
The first day was commenced with opening speeches by Ms Arleen Asuncion (Senior Vice President Crewing) and Mr Hauke
Pane. Information concerning current
events and the future strategic orientation
of RHL by Mr Pane was followed by presentations from RHL representatives about the
development of the crewing department,
Safety Awareness, Incidents/Accidents, and
the general Accounting Process.
Sea Staff Training Center Inc.) for simulator training. After a division into several
“Bridge Teams” and “Engine Teams”, different simulations were run, with Deck and
Engine collaborating directly. The training
was closely supported by Rico Lumba, Senior Technical Account Manager at Abojeb
and responsible for the recruitment of new
candidates and for verifying possible promotions of former seafarers.
Furthermore, external speaker Mr Maximo
Mejia from the marina provided information about the latest requirements for Philippine seafarers regarding certification and
training.
The conference ended with Mr Thorsten
Hamann addressing the audience and
awarding every participant with a certificate and – as a small Christmas gift – a jacket sponsored by RHL and Abojeb.
The time following the presentations was
used for an open exchange and discussion
about the presentations and a variety of different experiences and problems.
As had been expected, the second conference was a complete success. We would
like to thank our Philippine seafarers for
their active participation, open discussions
and valuable feedback. There will be a follow-up in June 2016, and we hope that we
will once again be able to welcome many
of “our boys”.
RHL was represented by the following
persons:
• Managing Director/CEO
Mr Hauke Pane
• Director Crewmanagement
Mr Thorsten Hamann
• Quality Manager/DPA
Mr Joakim Franzén
• Quality Manager/Chief Accountant
Ms Jekaterina Lissova-Tolstopjatova
(Riga office)
• Crew Operator
Ms Marija Kaskure (Riga office)
The day ended with an enjoyable get-together with a rich buffet, cold drinks, and a
few karaoke performances by some of the
participants.
Keep up the good spirit!

members with a licence were invited to

Men. Men. Nothing but men work in shipping. Or maybe not? The International
Maritime Museum Hamburg (IMMH) has
gone in search of seafaring women. The
journalist Wulf Brocke has discovered
many unknown facts about this underrepresented topic.

at the begin-
ning of the 19th century. Up until the 1930s,
female pirates looted the South China Sea.
The special exhibition, which will be shown
in the IMMH from April 17 to the end of May,
is also dedicated to seafaring women of the
past few decades. Pioneers in the conquest
of this male domain are portrayed, such as
the German captain Anneliese Teetz and
the shipowner Liselotte von Rantzau-Essberger, as well as several female radio operators of the 1970s.

Moreover, the comprehensive exhibition
depicts the situation of women in merchant shipping and in the navies of this
world today. The impressive photos that
the photographer Kathrin Wahrendorff
took of female naval cadets on board the
German navy’s sail training ship “Gorch

True or false? Challenging everyday wisdom
Can you faint while urinating at night?
It is a story often told by yachtsmen: A crew
member wakes at night, feeling an urgent
need to relieve himself. Maybe he had a
drink too many the previous evening. He
starts urinating over the railing, suddenly
faints, falls overboard, and dies a wet death.
As a consequence the blood pressure
drops, cutting the oxygen supply to the
brain, which then “shuts down” for a few seconds (sometimes for as long as a minute),
for safety reasons. This only happens in the
upright position, not when sitting down.
While it is well known that sailors love spinning their yarn and sometimes deviate from
the truth – these cases actually exist. It can
also happen to male landlubbers ashore,
only here it rarely has deadly consequences.
They can take a bloody crack to the head
from the hard bathroom floor, though.
Long-term damage is extremely unlikely.
It is only the consequences of the fall that
can prove dangerous – the worst scenario
being that of the sailor taking a leak at the
railing.
The medical term for fainting while urinating is “micturition syncope”. The reasons
are not fully understood. Emptying the

causes the heart to slow down.

„Die Männer der Calliditas“ – “The men of the Calliditas” –
celebrates its film premiere
How do people live and work on board a
modern container ship? 41-year-old filmmaker Jan Philip Lange pursued this question in his documentary “Die Männer der
Calliditas”. En route from Colombo to Singapore, over the course of nine days, he
followed the crew of the 260m vessel “RHL
Calliditas” with his camera. The shoot took
place at the beginning of October 2015.
After an editing process of three months,
the film made its premiere last Sunday, in
Hamburg’s “Zeise” cinema. 80 guests were
invited, including many employees of Reederei Hamburger Lloyd, as well as RHL’s CEO
Hauke Pane. Also among the guests were
Marinko Milotic – Master of the Calliditas at
the time of the shoot – who travelled all the
way from Rijeka (Croatia) with his wife and
daughter for this occasion.
“The team spirit of this crew of 20, and the
way they worked together impressed me
most of all”, says filmmaker Lange. “People
from five different nations, from the Philippines to Mexico, work hand in hand for months
and come to terms with each other. Multiculturalism and integration are no mere catchphrases there, but really have to be lived. And
it works, because everybody is disciplined,
and because the Master is a great leader.”
In interviews, crew members and Captain
Marinko Milotic tell the viewers about the dif-
left to right: Lars Burshille (Cameraman), Jan Philip Lange (Writer and Director), Marinko Milotic (Captain), Hauke Pane (CEO RHL)
ferent aspects of their jobs, and about their
personal experiences, goals, and dreams.
Jan Philip Lange has been living in Neu
Wulmstorf (just outside Hamburg) since
2013 and has been shooting films since his
youth. After studying at the Film University Potsdam-Babelsberg, he worked predominantly as a producer, line producer and
production manager for a number of film
and television productions. “But producing
this documentary was so much fun that I
would love to pursue this path further. You
expand your own horizon immensely, and
then you get to share this experience with
your viewers”, he smiles.
The film has not yet been sold to any TV
channels, but Philippine television has expressed its interest – about two thirds of
the crew come from the island nation.
We would like to express our heartfelt
thanks to Captain Milotic and his crew
on board RHL Calliditas for their fantastic
support of this project. Without the commitment of each and every one, this wellmade and impressive film could not have
been created.
The film was produced with the support of
Reederei Hamburger Lloyd.
HIV
The number of new HIV infections in Europe is at an
all-time high
Despite numerous prevention activities,
more and more people in Europe are infected by the AIDS pathogen HIV. The figures
are rising especially drastically in the East.
A report of the European Centre for Disease
Prevention and Control (ECDC) indicates
that the number of new HIV diagnoses
in Europe reached a record high in 2014:
There were 142.197 registered new infections, as opposed to only 136.235 initial
diagnoses in 2013. Nevertheless the global
fight against AIDS is making process.
There was an especially large increase in
the eastern countries of the European reTH E
B RI D G E
I
No. 30
gion. Especially Russia reported 85.252
new infections. The positive diagnoses in
Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic and
Slovakia have doubled every year since
2005. In these countries, the virus was
mostly spread via heterosexual contacts
or contaminated drug paraphernalia such
drug paraphernalia.
In the rest of the European Union however,
the virus is primarily transmitted via sexual
contacts between men. “HIV diagnoses
among men that have sex with men have
increased at an alarming rate”, the report
states; from 30 percent of the new infections in the year 2005 to 42 percent in 2014.
According to the ECDC, the AIDS virus was
detected in 3525 people in Germany in
2014. That is seven percent more than in
the previous year. The Robert Koch Institute (a German organisation responsible
for disease control and prevention) nevertheless estimates that only as few as about
3200 people contracted the virus directly
in Germany. Numerous “foreign infections”
are diagnosed in Germany every year.
In Austria, Estonia, France, the Netherlands,
and Great Britain, on the other hand, the
number of positive diagnoses has declined
by more than 25 percent over the past ten
years. And although the number of infected
migrants is declining, the WHO warns not
to neglect this group. “We at the WHO demand that all European countries provide
HIV tests, prevention and treatment measures free of charge to all refugees and migrants, regardless of their legal status. This
is the safest way to protect one’s own population from HIV infections.”
According to a United Nations’ report, two
million people were infected with the AIDS
virus worldwide in 2014. This number, however, is dropping sharply: New infections
have dropped by 35 percent since the year
2000. Yet 36.9 million people carry the virus, and 1.2 million people died of AIDSrelated diseases over the past year.
For this reason, we would like to illustrate
the factors that underlie the deadly infectious disease which is AIDS.
What is AIDS?
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is associated with a number of typical AIDS-defining illnesses. AIDS patients
often lose weight and have higher rates of
so-called opportunistic infections like fungal diseases or herpes. These do not occur
in healthy people, or they are usually harmless. Yet for AIDS patients with their weakened immune system, these infections can
be life-threatening. Moreover, certain kinds
of tumour occur more frequently, such as
Kaposi’s sarcoma (brown-blueish tumour
knots / patches, especially in the area of
mucous membranes and the intestines, but
also on the skin of the arms and legs).
Pathogen
The HI (human immunodeficiency) virus is
a retrovirus and can take two forms: HIV-1,
which is prevalent worldwide, and HIV-2,
which is mainly found in western Africa.
Disease pattern
People who have contracted the HI virus
(HIV) often show symptoms resembling a
common cold a few days or weeks after the
infection – maybe a temperature and swollen lymph nodes. Experts call this disease
pattern an acute HIV infection. One to three
months after the infection’s outbreak, the
body produces antibodies against the HI virus, which can then be detected in a special
blood test, which is colloquially referred to
as “AIDS-test”.
This is followed by a disease-free period,
the so-called latent stage. It can last several years and even decades, but usually ten
years. During this time, the virus spreads and
progressively weakens the immune system.
Transmission
The HI virus is predominantly transmitted
through unprotected sexual intercourse,
because the virus is present in high concentrations in blood and sperm, but also in vaginal and anal secretions. About 73,000 people in Germany live with HIV/AIDS; 45,000 of
them are men that have sex with men.
Special medication can prevent the onset
and progression of an HIV infection – but
AIDS is not actually curable. People can protect themselves from this venereal disease
by using condoms during sexual intercourse.
The virus can also enter the body via the
bloodstream. Drug addicts can contract
the disease by using syringes that were
previously utilized by someone with an HIV
infection. Doctors, nurses and other people working in health care can contract HIV
via blood contact, for example through a
needlestick injury. If intact skin comes into
contact with the blood, vomit, or urine of
an HIV-positive person, however, there is
no risk of an infection.
The transmission of HIV via blood (e.g. with
a blood transfusion) or blood products is
an infection risk that is steadily decreasing
worldwide, but it has not yet been completely eliminated.

No. 30
If somebody has come into contact with the
HI virus – maybe through unprotected sex
with a person known to be infected with
HIV (not taking medication), or through
an injury from an HIV-infected patient’s
needle – then this person can significantly
lower the risk of an HIV infection with the
help of a special therapy. The so-called
post-exposure prophylaxis involves taking
certain medication, administered by an HIV
specialist, ideally within two to 24 hours after contact with the virus.
A child can contract the virus from its mother – if she is HIV positive and not taking
medication – before or during birth. The
HI virus can also be found in breast milk.
Certain measures, however (like starting an
HIV therapy in time and not feeding breast
milk), can prevent a transmission to the
newborn. Today, an HIV infection should no
longer be a reason against a pregnancy –
providing that careful medical counselling
and support are ensured.
The possibility of a transmission of the HI
virus via everyday contacts between family members is deemed impossible. But it is
important to avoid blood contact. Therefore
family members or flatmates should never
share a toothbrush or razor with an HIV positive person. Used hollow needles or syringes
should be disposed of directly in the containers designated for this purpose. A transmission via mosquitos has also been ruled out.
Prophylaxis
Since most people contract the virus during unprotected sexual intercourse, condoms are the only helpful means of protection against AIDS.

Walter vom Bruck
IT Manager
As IT manager for Hamburger Lloyd, it is my
job to build and maintain the network, the
servers and client computers, the printers,
the telephone system, and the conference
room technology. My duties include backups, mailing systems, and the data base and
terminal servers. Applications that are especially important for our shipping company
are the ordering and accounting systems,
as well as the archiving software that all colleagues here at head office work with. No
less important are the programmes for our
fleet management, which we are currently
changing to BASSnet.
My name is Walter vom Bruck, born on November 10 1960 in Leverkusen, near Cologne, West Germany, where I went to school
up until my A-levels. I have been living in the
north of Germany for 30 years now, having
completed first an apprenticeship to become an industrial business management
assistant, then my degree in business informatics in this part of the country.
Further career stages were a trading enterprise, from where I was outsourced to an IT
company, then a publisher, a software developer, and an IT service provider for banks and
public transport – all here in Hamburg. I was a
rookie regarding the shipping industry when
I came to Hamburger Lloyd in October 2014.
Since everything is virtualised more and
more these days, many servers are no longer
metal housings containing some hardware,
but merely an accumulation of files. Thus,
we have about 20 virtual servers sharing two
real servers. These files are saved on a central, fail-safe storage facility. Relatively few
clicks can virtually create new computers,
relocate them, but also destroy them.
I usually maintain our vessels’ servers via
satellite. In the age of cloud computing – i.e.
relocation to the data processing centres
of large providers – the basically insular
computer system of a ship is a challenge.
Software producers devise their operating
systems and programmes to connect to
the internet just like that. However, the extremely high costs of a satellite connection
Information technology is evolving at a
breakneck speed. The abovementioned areas are subject to permanent change. We can
stay up-to-date with a part of this change,
but are nevertheless increasingly reliant on
specialist assistance. Figuring out IT code
and translating it for the normal user is just
as challenging as understanding the special
requirements of a shipping company’s employees and their ships. There is a lot for me
to learn, either way. Luckily, many of these
problems can be solved in a team.
Together with my wife and my two sons – 15
and 12 years old – I live in a small town north
of Hamburg. Here, I keep busy around the
house and garden, sometimes drive my offroad motorcycle, am a member of the voluntary fire brigade, and unfortunately only
rarely find the time to play volleyball or go
fishing.
