📉📉📉Everyone keeps asking why ships are sitting idle outside the Strait of Hormuz.📉📉📉It’s not fear.It’s insurance.Right now, every major Protection and Indemnity Clubs is issuing notices requiring WAR RISK / Additional Protection (AP) to transit the area.Here’s the part most people miss:📉📉Shipping companies aren’t worried about being hit.They’re worried about being hit without coverage.📉📉No insurance = no shipping.📉📉Once owners secure the extra protection, vessels will move.If not, they’ll reroute and load elsewhere.Why this matters:Nearly 20% of global crude oil flows out of the Persian Gulf and through this single chokepoint.This isn’t a military standoff.It’s a risk management standoff.And insurance is the gatekeeper.What are the regions / countries most at risk if the strait of Hormuz remains blocked? - India (import 85% of its oil and the majority goes through to the strait)- China (massive oil importer)- Japan (same)- Saudi Arabia (its export go through the strait) - will they conduct military action to gain control of the strait? - Pakistan (although they refine diesel for Iran) - EU countries (Major oil importers)- UAE (exports go through the strait)

⭐Wiper is the most junior rating in the engine department of a ship. Their primary role is to assist engineers and senior engine ratings (Motorman, Oiler, Fitter) with cleaning, maintenance support, and basic engine room tasks. The job focuses heavily on housekeeping, assistance, and learning engine-room operations.Here is a clear and complete list:Duties & Responsibilities of a WIPER (Engine Rating)✅Engine Room Cleaning & Housekeeping (Main Duty)Cleaning floors, bulkheads, ladders, gratings, and platforms.Cleaning bilges, removing oil, water, and debris. Keeping machinery spaces clean and free from hazards. Proper disposal of oily rags and waste according to MARPOL procedures. Assisting in maintaining order and cleanliness throughout the engine department.✅Assisting Senior Engine Ratings & EngineersHelping Oilers, Motormen, and Engineers during repairs and routine maintenance.Passing tools, holding parts, cleaning components, and assisting in dismantling machinery. Cleaning filters, strainers, and equipment parts under supervision. Performing basic tasks like tightening bolts, wiping machinery, and degreasing surfaces.✅Routine Checks & Monitoring (Under Supervision) Taking simple readings (temperature, pressure, tank soundings), when trained and instructed. Observing machinery for leaks, vibrations, or unusual noises and reporting them.Assisting in rounds of the engine room.✅Tank Soundings & Fluid Handling (Supervised)Taking fresh water, bilge, lube oil, and fuel tank soundings with guidance.Assisting in transferring oils or water when instructed. Helping maintain correct levels of consumables and materials.✅Maintenance SupportCleaning and preparing equipment before and after maintenance jobs. Removing rust, painting, and cleaning pipelines and engine room structures. Supporting routine maintenance of boilers, pumps, purifiers, compressors, and generators.✅Safety & Emergency DutiesParticipating in fire, abandon ship, blackout, and emergency drills.Knowing the location of safety equipment: extinguishers, emergency exits, and firefighting gear. Following all PPE requirements and engine room safety rules. Reporting unsafe conditions, leaks, or hazards immediately.✅General DutiesFollowing instructions from engineers, Motorman, Oiler, and Chief Engineer.Maintaining discipline, cleanliness, and good teamwork. Learning machinery operation and systems for future career progression (to Oiler/Motorman). Assisting in inventory, cleaning store rooms, and organizing tools.#education #seaformatoffshore

⭐ABLE BODIED SEAMAN (AB)⭐1. Deck OperationsAssist in mooring and unmooring operations (handling ropes, wires, anchors).Perform lookout duties during navigation.Stand watch on deck or at the helm (steering the ship) Assist in cargo operations (loading, unloading, lashing, and securing cargo).2. MaintenanceCarry out routine deck maintenance: chipping, painting, greasing, and cleaning.Maintain mooring equipment, lifeboats, and safety gear in good condition.Assist in rigging and securing deck gear.3. Safety DutiesParticipate in emergency drills (fire, abandon ship, man overboard etc.).Handle life-saving and firefighting equipment.Follow safety protocols to prevent accidents and pollution at sea.4. Navigation SupportAct as helmsman when required by the officer on watch.Perform lookout duties to report vessels, obstacles, and navigational hazards.Assist in bridge operations when needed.5. General AssistanceFollow instructions from the Bosun, Chief Officer, and Deck Officers. Support cadets or OS (Ordinary Seamen) in training.Assist in securing the ship during rough weather.In short, an AB is the backbone of deck operations, ensuring safety, maintenance, and smooth sailing of the vessel.#education #seaformatoffshore

SHIP SPEED: 📞Understanding Knots and Maritime Velocity!Ever wondered why sailors measure speed in "knots" instead of kilometers per hour? ⛔️The maritime world has its own unique measurement system, and understanding ship speeds is crucial for navigation, fuel efficiency, and safety at sea.> 1 KNOT = 1.852 kilometers per hour (or 1.15 milesper hour)ORIGIN: 🤪Named after the knots tied on a rope used in speed measurementMEASUREMENT: Nautical miles per hour (onenautical mile = 1.852 km)DIFFERENT SHIP SPEEDS:4 🧐CONTAINER SHIPS: 20-25 knots (37-46 km/h)4 BULK CARRIERS: 13-15 knots (24-28 km/h)4 TANKERS: 14-16 knots (26-30 km/h)• 👍CRUISE SHIPS: 20-24 knots (37-44 km/h)4 NAVAL VESSELS: 25-35+ knots (46-65+ km/h)4 🧐FISHING VESSELS: 8-12 knots (15-22 km/h)Ship speed depends on several factors: vessel type, cargo load, weather conditions, fuel efficiency requirements, and port schedules. Modern ships are designed to operate at optimal speeds that balance fuel consumption with delivery timelines.Interestingly, even small variations in speed can significantly impact fuel consumption. Operating at 10% slower speed can reduce fuel consumption by25-30%! This is why many shipping companies now practice "slow steaming" to reduce costs and environmental impact.The speed of a vessel is measured using GPS, radar, or traditional methods like the Doppler effect. Modern navigation systems provide real-time speed data to the bridge, allowing captains to optimize their route and fuel consumption.
