Letter from the Management
The first six months of 2014 are now over and
one can already concede that it is a year of
change. Both for Marlow and for the world in
general. At Marlow the passing of the guard
from our Chairman Mr. Hermann Eden to
a broader global management team is now
well underway. New and old tasks have been
appointed and all involved are working hard
to uphold old qualities while possibly also
bringing in a few fresh ideas. Watch this space
as well as our website for further developments
in this area.
Unfortunately, the changes we are seeing are
not all of such positive nature. It is with great
worry that we all look at the developments in
the Ukraine. At Marlow we have long standing and close relations to the Ukraine since
our first cooperation with Ukrainian crewing
agencies dates back to May 1997. Ukrainian
seafarers form the single largest block in regard
to officers employed by Marlow and the second
largest contingent when taking all ranks into
account. But it is of course not only our
business relations that leave us in worry
when looking at the seemingly uncontrolled
aggression escalating into a state of near
civil war in certain areas of the country.
Thankfully due to our close knit relations with
our Ukrainian colleagues we are not reliant on
the public news coverage which sometimes
are in our opinion, overshooting the mark with
their one sided reporting and if anything are
making matters more difficult and hardening
possibly existing prejudice.
We have always experienced both our Russian
and Ukrainian colleagues and their families
as heartfelt peace loving people with a shared
respect for most parts of their shared history
but also for the younger parted developments
and therefore it is hard to believe the tales
of hate and destruction propagated by either
side. We sincerely hope that all involved
including top level politicians realize the
potential catastrophe at hand and stop their
advantageous kindling.
Fortunately, the news received from on board
our managed vessels paints a much more
moderate picture. Of course our colleagues at
sea worry about the developments at home.
But the feared aggressions between Ukrainian
and Russian seafarers have not materialized
and so far we can only congratulate and thank
our seafarers for the way they have dealt with
all these unexpected and difficult developments.
At this point we would like to again point out
that anyone who is affected by the current
‘Ukraine Crisis’ can call their operator either in
their home town or in our Limassol, Hamburg
or Rotterdam office for assistance in regard to
their personal situation or that of their families.
On the other hand, we must here also thank
all our clients for the continued support of
Ukrainian crew. Understandably they are also
looking at this issue with worry and naturally
they fear for a disruption to the operation of
their vessels. For this reason and in the interest
of all involved we must appeal to our crew to
continue to keep the professional attitude you
have so far displayed and not to let other interests get in the way of our joint effort in serving
our clients. In the long term this would only hurt
the prospering Ukrainian and Russian seafaring
industries.
We sincerely hope that these issues will be
resolved upon the issuing of the next Marlow
Newsletter in December and not to develop
into a never ending story like the continuing
shipping crisis. We will refrain from going
into detail here but the truth remains that the
maritime economy continues to be under great
stress and in a complete state of turmoil and at
best restructuring.
On a more positive note, we are very happy to
announce that the fund aid gathered to relieve
the victims of the Typhoon Haiyan are now
being put to work. Once again we would like
to thank all who donated funds or actively
assisted in helping those in need. Further
information regarding this topic can be found
inside this issue of the newsletter. To all those
affected we send our heartfelt wishes and
support.

Training/Seminars
We are confronted with a number of issues in the recruiting areas of the Philippines and Ukraine. In the Philippines it is the European Maritime
Safety Agency (EMSA) audit that could result in the de-recognition of Philippine Certificate of Competence (COC). In Ukraine, however it is the
political instability situation. In both locations our training activities are affected by these challenges. Nevertheless, we hope that by the time this
newsletter is in circulation both concerns will be resolved.
Training in Manila
We continue to upgrade our cadet programs in
Manila. We have secured the services of two
instructors from the previous training vessel
‘Emsstrom’ (Capt. Grunau and Capt. Moeller)
who are upgrading the deck cadet program
module by module since early 2013. The plan is
to complete this program within this year, and
to start upgrading courses also for deck ratings
and deck officers.

New courses introduced in MNTC Manila:
We are also developing new courses in
Manila and in this context are happy to
announce new courses for the catering
department. In January, the Technical Education
and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)
accredited MNTC for the five days stewarding course NC l, and for the ten days ship’s
cook course NC ll. Furthermore, we have
procured a ten week e-learning course for
cook trainees that can be used during their first
assignment on board. Also, we are testing
the system for experienced cooks with identified training needs. The course requires
support from masters on the one hand and
computer literacy from the cook or trainee and a
computer access on board on the other hand.

In our previous issue we have informed you about the forthcoming training of MNTC instructors for AMOS Enterprise Management Suite (EMS),
Quality Management System (QMS), and AMOS EMS Maintenance and Purchase (MMP) familiarization.
Training the trainers course took place in
March 2014 and the pilot run of the two days
course was conducted at the beginning of
April 2014.
The ‘AMOS EMS’ training is free of charge for
all Marlow seafarers.
With the assistance of one of our clients
we have extended the ‘Securing of General
and Heavy Lift Cargoes’ course and built a
mock-up of a cargo hold where various
additional lashing exercises can be taught in
practical terms. The course duration will be
four days instead of three as in the past.

New courses introduced in MNTC Manila
After the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) has finally issued clear guidelines for the development of Management Level officers upgrading
courses (MLC), we hope to complete the development of the ‘MLC deck’ officers course by mid 2014. This will give our seasoned 2nd officers the
opportunity to move on in their career.

selection process took place end of March with
one month delay. We would like to congratulate
the successful cadets that have been selected
to join the Marlow fleet. The first ones of this
year’s group will join the fleet in September/
October 2014.

DEG Heavy Lift Project in KSMA
successfully completed
In earlier issues of our Newsletter we have
informed you about the ‘Development of Heavy
Lift and offshore windfarm expertise’ project at
the Kherson State Maritime Academy (KSMA).
The project that was supported by the Deutsche
Investitions - und Entwicklungsgesellschaft
(DEG) came to a successful end on 31st of
December 2013.
WI-FI classroom at KSMA
The achievements of this joint effort include:
Offshore safety training centre
An incentive scheme to attract the best
performing students and teachers to KSMA. Maritime know how transfer to improve the
knowledge base of instructors at KSMA.
A financial component that provided KSMA
with an audio visual studio and a printing
outfit to produce teaching material and five
classrooms for e-learning.
Audio-video studio at KSMA
The crane handling and heavy lift simulator, and a container yard for lashing, reefer
container maintenance and fire fighting.

The first four components were achieved well
in time and helped the KSMA to be voted the
best maritime educational facility in Ukraine
for the second time in a row.

The last component - the building of the offshore
safety training cell took us additional efforts
and time. Yet, the installation of the offshore
training facilities was completed in October
2011. However the recruitment and training
of offshore instructors and achievement of the
high Offshore Petroleum Training Organization
(OPITO) quality standards in training took us
more than a year.
One of the (OPITO) requirements was to establish an operating offshore training centre with its
own Quality system following the quality standards of the Western Oil & Gas industry which
appeared to be a real challenge in Ukraine.

In order to respond to the challenge, a separate
company structure had to be created within
the KSMA that operates the installations and
issues the respective course certificates. This
company is now called Kherson Maritime
Specialized Training Centre (KMSTC at
KSMA) and it administers all the donated equipment of this project and of earlier
projects including the fast rescue boat and the
free fall lifeboat which we have introduced it
in our previous Newsletter. Once the company
was created, it had to obtain accreditation of the
Ukrainian authorities to work as a training centre, and the accreditation of OPITO to conduct
certified offshore safety training courses. This
last step was finally achieved with an on-site
audit of OPITO representatives in August of
last year and the accreditation letter received
in early October. Since then the training centre
is in full operation and offers the courses on a
weekly basis. The response of seafarers and offshore workers to the course offer by KMSTC
took us all by surprise. In the first six months of
operation the team at KMSTC welcomed participants from Turkey, Poland, St. Petersburg /
Russia and of course from within Ukraine, and
even two ladies from Latvia.
Draught survey pilot training course at
KMSTC Feb’14
In February, a new three days ‘Draft Survey’
training course was added to the list of training
courses available at KMSTC. The centre will
gradually expand its course portfolio, depending on the demand and local feasibility.
We will keep you informed about it in regular
updates. For detailed schedules and bookings
please visit the centre’s website:

As this brings the three year project between
KSMA, DEG and Marlow Navigation Ukraine
and Marlow Navigation Cyprus to a successful end, we would like to express our deepest
gratitude to everyone involved.
A big ‘Thank You’ goes out to all of you who
went the extra mile and ultimately made it
happen.
Regulations/Safety
Replacing an anchor
The crew of the M/V Warnow Master were faced with a tricky problem after losing a fluke
on one of the ship’s anchors. The vessel, a gearless 1500 TEU container ship trading between
Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam needed to change the broken anchor for the spare one on
board at the port of Hai Phong, Vietnam.
So how did they manage this complicated
task without a crane on board or heavy
lifting equipment?
The operation needed some careful planning
and preparation in advance. The Master spoke
to the container terminal and arranged to
‘borrow’ one gantry crane for a while. The
Chief Engineer and Bosun prepared all the
tools - cutting equipment, gas, spare kenter
and shackles and made sure that all the
nuts and bolts were freed up and greased in

advance. This preparation saved a lot of time
and avoided unpleasant surprises when they
came to do the job. Finally, a ‘toolbox’ meeting
was held with all the crew to explain how the
job would be done and what safety measures
to take. The necessary permits to work were
issued and a risk assessment was completed.
The first task was to prepare the end links
shackle for the new anchor. They opened a
spare kenter shackle and attached the end
links of cable to the new anchor using a brand
new anchor shackle. The new anchor was
now prepared with end links and ready for
connection.

Using a container gantry crane, they attached the old broken anchor to the hook and carefully lowered the anchor cable from the gypsy and hawse
pipe, lifting the old anchor onto deck next to the new one. They had to slowly lower down the cable using the windlass as the crane lifted up the
anchor and placed it on deck.

The final part of the operation was to lift
up the new anchor and then lower it back
to the hawse pipe. The anchor cable was
recovered using the windlass.
The operation took around 5 hours and there
was no offhire. The crew completed the whole
job by themselves with the assistance of one
gantry crane and one crane driver.
Well done to the Master and Crew of the
M/V Warnow Master.

Preventive Maintenance
Mooring Line Care &
Maintenance
Masters and crew need to ensure that ropes are
cared for, utilized and maintained in line with
industry best practice. A planned maintenance
system should also be in place ensuring periodic
thorough visual inspection of all mooring lines,
and that these are replaced promptly when unacceptable damage is found.
Mooring Rope Inspection
Apart from a visual inspection by crew prior to
berthing and periodic inspections by the watchman whilst alongside, mooring ropes should be
periodically inspected along their entire length at
least once a month.
The wear along the rope should be externally
examined and areas of wear and fusing on man
made fibre ropes closely checked to assess the
integrity of the rope at these points.
Eye splice integrity and eye wear needs to be
checked and the strands of the rope opened up
also need to be checked for internal wear.
It is NOT recommended that major damage
should be cropped out from within the rope’s
length and replaced with a short splice as this will
significantly reduce the strength of the rope.
If there is any doubt as to the strength or
integrity of a rope then it should be replaced.
MARLOW NEWSLETTER
5
Rope Care and Use
Make Checks Prior Mooring
In order to ensure that ropes remain in
satisfactory condition and free of damage the
following points should be borne in mind by
crew members:
Fibre ropes should not be left exposed to
sunlight whilst at sea; they should either be
covered or stored below deck.
Ropes need to be kept clear of the deck to
ensure they do not come into contact with any
chemicals which may be detrimental to their
strength.
It should be ensured that all mooring rollers
are free turning and are free from damage or
corrosion on their surfaces which could cause
rope wear.
Ropes should be stored clear of sources of
heat.
Winch drum ends, bollards and Panama leads
need to be free of damage or rust which could
cause rope wear.
Ropes should not be surged on winch drum
ends or slacked away by rendering.
Sharp angles in the lead of the rope are to be
avoided as much as possible. It must be remembered that these may exist in spring lines when
the rope runs alongside the hull between the
fairlead and the mooring bollard on the wharf.
Fibre and wire ropes should not be led such that
they cross and touch other ropes, be they either
fibre or wire, which could lead to wear during
the mooring period.
Wire ropes are to be periodically dressed with
an appropriate (non-pollutant) grease to help
maintain their condition.
After an extended sea passage or a passage
undertaken in heavy seas and prior to mooring
operation, check the following:
Any physical damages to the mooring
mechanism.
All controls, linkages and the operating
levers are well oiled, greased and free/easy
to use.
Ensure that all the brake drums and linings
are suitably dried and clean of salt deposits.
Buoy moorings can be damaged by collisions
or dragged out of position by heavy winds
or seas. They can also fail because of broken
mooring components.
All rotating parts of the mooring equipment,
which would include rollers, fairleads, winch
drums, deck stands etc. must be moved (free
turning) and lubricated on a frequent basis.
Multipurpose grease is the best lubricant for
such applications (check the vessel’s lubricating chart for the right application). Normally,
high pressure grease guns are used for this kind
of work. Particular attention must be given to the roller
fairleads and deck stands as these often suffer
from little use and thereby are neglected.
Rollers should turn smoothly and must be
checked for integrity as corrosion may have
weakened them.
Tip
Mooring Rollers
Ships personnel should check rollers for damage/integrity.
Always check the grease nipples before application and make sure the nipples are free of rust,
salt and grit. Change the nipples if necessary.
Mooring Equipment
Maintenance
Mooring winches, capstans, windlasses,
mooring lines and mooring fixtures and
fittings must be properly maintained and periodic maintenance undertaken as prescribed in
the planned maintenance system.
Routine maintenance should include regular
visual inspections of all equipment, greasing of grease nipples on moving machinery
and of rollers on fairleads and pedestal fairleads. Open gearing and clutches should also
be suitably greased with an appropriate dressing. Brakes should be closely examined to
ensure all linkages are working correctly, brake
band material thickness is adequate and the
condition of the brake lining is satisfactory.
Clutches should operate smoothly and pins
for securing the clutches should be attached
to the clutch control levers ready for use.
Winch control levers must be marked with the
direction of operation for both paying out and
heaving in. Drum ends should be kept free
from damage, rust and paint, and machinery
bed plates should be periodically inspected for
deterioration or damage.
It must be ensured that mooring fairleads are
all turning freely and that their surfaces are free
of rust which could damage the mooring lines.
The integrity of all mooring equipment such as
bitts, pad eyes and leads should be closely examined.
Prior to mooring operations commencing, all
equipment should be visually examined for
any visible defects and machinery tested. Any
defective equipment must be taken out of service.
Pre Departure Briefing
During the February 2013 agency meeting
hosted by Marlow Navigation Cyprus, one
of the main areas for discussion concerned
pre-departure briefings and the importance
of such briefings as a tool for communicating
important subjects to our seafarers.
With the much appreciated help of manning
agencies and in-house colleagues we have
been working on a uniform pre-departure briefing which can be delivered in all recruitment
locations. The seminar is applicable for all
seafarers and shall be taken before starting the
next assignment on board.
This generic pre-departure briefing (also
known as the Marlow PDB) aims to promote an
increased safety culture on board. Aside from
Do’s and Don’ts, case studies explain possible
consequences of actions or inactions on board.
In addition the PDB provides essential
updates on international statutory requirements,
Marlow procedures, polices and requirements.
The PDB strongly focuses on past incidents
6
MARLOW NEWSLETTER
and customer complaints to provide guidance
and possible preventative measures to ensure that such incidents are not repeated. We
hope that by reviewing such cases we can help
create a pro-active and positive mind set which
would help to prevent accidents before they occur.
The learning material is tailored to specific
rank groups of seafarers so that it is individual and applicable to their daily job routine.
Management and Operational Level Seafarers will get a closer overview of new statutory requirements related to their duties on
board. All material is included in an interactive
environment which is divided into several
blocks. Each block contains various subjects
which can be opened by just clicking on them.
The PDB is available as a class room based
course in our offices located in Manila,
St Petersburg and Odessa.
The first class room based course was run in
Odessa on the 27th of March 2014 and positive feedback was received from the attendees.
In other locations the PDB is available for study
on a PC at the premises of the agency and a CD
for self-study at home.
The content of the learning material shall be
updated on a yearly basis. Your feedback is
therefore greatly appreciated in order to ensure
that we have an effective and useful learning
tool which is beneficial for your time on board.
Please feel free to send any questions or feedback regarding the PDB to the following e-mail
address: [email protected]
Incidents/Activities
As you have noticed from our previous issues, we dedicate a section where we share with you any incidents that may take place on board or ashore as well
as various activities that are carried out by our seafarers.
In this issue, we have some cases where our seafarers wish to share with us some of their stories as well as their talented work.
M/V BBC SKYSAILS / RESCUE OPERATION
On the 23rd of April 2014, while M/V BBC
SKYSAILS was passing through the Gulf of
St. Lawrence, the crew received a message from
the Canadian Coast Guard reporting that there
was a fishing boat ‘PIERRE LUC 1’ which was
in distress and needed urgent assistance.
Once the M/V BBC SKYSAILS reached the
scene of the incident the crew helped a
crew member of the fishing boat to board
the vessel. He was later evacuated by
helicopter. Thankfully, he had not suffered
any injuries during his ordeal.
We would like to express our gratitude to our
crew of M/V BBC SKYSAILS and the Canadian
Coast Guard for their assistance in the smooth
rescue operation that was carried out.

M/V THREE RIVERS
Since some of our crew are not always home
with their families during the festive season,
the crew of M/V THREE RIVERS celebrated
Christmas 2013 on board, by exchanging gifts
and enjoying their Christmas dinner.

CHRISTMAS PARTY MNPI
MANILA RELIEF OPERATION TO THE VICTIMS OF TYPHOON HAIYAN
On the 13th of December 2013 – with sympathies to their fellow Filipinos who experienced
the super typhoon Haiyan, the Management and
staff decided to have a get-together dinner at
the Marlow roof deck instead of celebrating the
Christmas party at an expensive venue. They
truly enjoyed a simple buffet dinner and had the
opportunity to socialize with their colleagues.
The gathering would not have been complete
without the annual service awardees and the
recognition of the colleagues who have shown
commendable dedication to their work.
During the months of November and December 2013 we had all witnessed the impact of the super
typhoon ‘Haiyan’. The Management of MNPI started a relief operation to the areas which were
devastated by the typhoon. Team members started to donate cash and all kinds of assistance to their
fellow countrymen who lost their homes and were in desperate need of basic necessities. Mr. Tony
Galvez and Capt. Alfred von der Hoeh directly handled the donations to non-governmental organizations in order to ensure delivery and proper distribution of relief goods to the affected families.
The relief aid to our seafarers and their families was extended through the efforts of Capt. Leo
Tenorio and Mr. Kuido Naaber who reached out to other branch offices. Rehabilitation of areas
affected is still on-going and it is in this regard that Marlow Navigation Cyprus would like to extend a
long-term aid by building classrooms in Iloilo, Bantayan and Daangbantayan islands. The
architecture plans have already been prepared and the construction works have already started.

In Odessa, the New Year’s party was held in the

Marlow Navigation Russia
New Year is a magical holiday that most people, especially children, love, anticipate and wait for. This is the time of pleasant surprises and gifts, time
of expectations and fulfillment of cherished desires. Marlow Navigation Russia continued its wonderful tradition this year and organized joyful parties
for the seafarers’ families and their kids in its different locations: Petrozavodsk, Rostov-on-Don, Nizhny Novgorod, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad and
Vladivostock.
PETROZAVODSK - 05.01.2014
ROSTOV-ON-DON - 04.01.2014
NIZHNY NOVGOROD - 24.12.2013
In Petrozavodsk the party was arranged at the
modern hall of the National Theatre of Karelia.
With great pleasure, the children watched an
interesting performance based on Aleksandr Pushkin’s, ‘By the Lukmorye’, which was
staged for a younger audience. There were
different contests organized by famous fairy tale
characters and, of course, received sweet presents.
The New Year party in Rostov-on-Don is
traditionally being celebrated at the Palace of
Culture. The children happily took part in the
entertaining program with different contests.
The children of our seafarers from Nizhny

ST. PETERSBURG - 23.12.2013
KALININGRAD - 22.12.2013
St. Petersburg is a city with a rich history and
prominent architecture. In order to introduce
the children to the joys of history and beauty,
our colleagues from St. Petersburg chose the
Semyonovskiy Palace as a venue for the New
Year’s celebration. The Palace is a historic
building with its special charming atmosphere
where the children participated in a magic master class. And surely meeting Russian’s most
important New Year’s character – Jack Frost
could not be missed! At the end the children
were proclaimed magicians and were rewarded
with nice gifts.
Our colleagues from Kaliningrad invited
seafarers’ families to the Regional Puppet
Theatre. The children met with Jack Frost and
the Snow Maiden and watched a nice puppet
show. A vivid plot, brilliant actors and bright
amusing costumes made the performance
attractive for both the young ones and the adults.
The children were also invited to participate
in a magical game called ‘Save the New Year’
with the fictional characters Harry Potter and
Hermione. All the families enjoyed the chemical show called ‘How to prepare a drinkable
potion’, creating miraculous bubbles. There
was also a live concert, dancing and singing.
While children were having fun, their parents
had time to relax and enjoy the tasty food
and drinks. The programme ended with the
children receiving presents from Grandfather
Frost. What is left to say: the event was joyous
beyond its expectations!
VLADIVOSTOCK - 21.12.2013
Marlow Navigation Vladivostok organized
a New Year party for parents and children. The Russian Grandfather Frost, his beautiful
Grand daughter Snow Maiden, and other fairy
characters gathered together with the children
around the nicely decorated Christmas tree.

NEW PREMISES
Since 25th February 2014, Marlow Ship
Management Deutschland, Marcrew Schiffahrt
and Marlow Offshore Germany are located in
new premises at Breite Strasse 61.
The actual move took place from 21.02.2014
until 24.02.2014, whereas all important preparations had been made weeks before. After
files and IT-equipment were delivered to the
new office by the movers, the pizza ordered
for the whole staff made all colleagues ready
for the challenging task to rewire computers
and phones – actually everything worked again
without any big delay.
The building itself had been created in the
1920’s ‘Brick Expressionism’ style of architecture and has the shape of a vessel. It’s not
far away from the old one – but unfortunately
we no longer have the great direct view of the
port of Hamburg, which was part of the unique
charm of the previous building. Nevertheless,
the new office also has a lot of advantages so
the colleagues are very happy with the new
place – and since it’s close to the well-known
‘Hamburg Fish Market’, it only takes a few
steps to enjoy the great view at Hamburg
harbor again.
The chemical show
As in the old office, Marlow Ship Management and Marcrew are located on two floors,
which are not only connected by stairs and
elevators, but also a spiral staircase. Everyone’s
workplace is more spacious, the interior makes
it quieter than before and the new furniture
creates a modern atmosphere. Moreover, the
new building has a lot of big windows, which
illuminate the rooms with natural light.
Meanwhile, all main jobs are completed and
the daily work routine takes place at Marlow &
Marcrew office at Breite Strasse 61.

CHRISTMAS PARTY

JOB INTERVIEW
Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asks a young
engineer fresh out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “And what starting
salary are you looking for?” The engineer replies, “In the region of $125,000 a year,
depending on the benefits package.” The interviewer inquires, “Well, what would
you say to a package of a 5 week vacation, 14 days paid
holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2
years, say, a red Corvette?” The engineer sits up straight and says,
“Wow! Are you kidding?” The interviewer replies, “Yeah, but
you started it.”
MOTHER’S APPROVAL
A young man excitedly tells his mother he’s fallen in love and that he is going to get
married. He says, “Mum, Just for fun, I’m going to bring over 3 women and you
try and guess which one I’m going to marry.” The mother
agrees. The next day, he brings three beautiful women into
the house and sits them down on the couch and they chat for a
while. He then says, “Okay mum, guess which one I’m going
to marry.” She immediately replies, “The one on the right.”
“That’s amazing mum, you’re right. How did you know?”
The mother replies “I don’t like her.”
MORNING SIT UPS
I do ten sit ups every morning. It might not sound like much,
but there are only so many times you can hit the snooze
button.
