Shore Power at Eramet Norway Ports: A Step Towards Greener Shipping Since 1 January 2023, #Eramet #Norway has introduced shore power facilities at its ports in Porsgrunn, Kvinesdal, and Sauda. This initiative is part of the company’s long-term environmental strategy to reduce #greenhouse #gas #emissions and improve air quality in port areas. Supporting Sustainable #Shipping Eramet has committed to reducing its absolute CO₂ emissions by 40% by 2035, compared to 2019 levels. This target has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (#SBTi) and supports the company’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. By allowing vessels to connect to the local electrical grid while alongside, the company expects to reduce emissions by approximately 4,000 tonnes of #CO₂ annually. Additional environmental benefits include lower emissions of #NOₓ, #SO₂, #CH₄, and particulate matter, as well as reduced noise from auxiliary diesel generators. #Shore Connection Requirements Vessels may connect to shore power using one of the following options: IEC/PAS 80005-3 connector, rated at 350 A, 380–400/440 V, 50 or 60 Hz; Standard industrial 3-phase, 5-pin, 125 A socket, 380–400 V, 50 Hz (the vessel must provide its own connection cable). To qualify for the environmental incentive, vessels must: - connect to shore power within 30 minutes after berthing; - remain connected until no earlier than 30 minutes before departure. The #vessel must also be capable of shutting down its diesel #generators while receiving power from shore. #Electricity Pricing The total cost of shore power consists of: - Grid charge: NOK 0.50/kWh - Operational fee: NOK 1.50/kWh - Energy cost: based on the Nord Pool NO2 day-ahead wholesale electricity market price. Environmental Fee for Non-Connection #Vessels that choose not to use shore power are subject to an hourly environmental #fee based on their gross tonnage (#GWT). The implementation of #shorepower at Eramet Norway’s ports demonstrates the growing importance of sustainable practices in the maritime industry. For shipowners, connecting to shore power helps reduce #emissions, lower noise levels, and avoid environmental fees. For Electro-Technical Officers (#ETOs), it highlights the importance of ensuring that onboard electrical systems are fully prepared for safe and reliable shore power connection and seamless transfer of electrical load from shipboard generators to the shore supply. #news #ETO

A flow switch in a 15 ppm #bilgealarm system (#OWS monitor) is used to confirm that sample water is actually flowing through the oil content monitor. If there is no flow, the #monitor cannot measure #oil concentration reliably. Typical functions of the flow switch are: - Detects the presence of sample #waterflow. - Prevents false 15 ppm readings when there is no water. - Generates a “No Flow” or “Flow Failure” alarm. - Stops the oil content measurement until flow is restored. - On many systems, it also commands the automatic stopping of overboard discharge or diverts the discharge back to the bilge/sludge tank. Typical troubleshooting If the flow switch #alarm is active: - Check that the sampling pump is running. - Verify that all inlet and outlet valves are open. - Clean the sample strainer/filter. - Check for blocked sampling lines. - Inspect the flow switch for contamination (oil deposits or sludge can prevent movement). - Measure the #flow switch contacts with a multimeter: - With water flowing, the contact should change state (NO→Closed or NC→Open, depending on the design). - Without flow, it should return to its normal state. Verify the wiring from the flow switch to the #15ppm monitor. Common flow switch types - Magnetic paddle (reed switch) – most common on marine #OCMs. - Piston type – a spring-loaded piston actuates a #microswitch. - Electronic #flowsensor – used on some newer systems.

Personal Protective Equipment – The Foundation of Workplace Safety #PersonalProtectiveEquipment (PPE) is one of the most important elements of workplace safety, especially in the maritime industry and other #hazardous environments. Choosing the correct PPE helps protect workers from injuries, reduces the risk of accidents, and ensures that every task can be carried out safely. The poster highlights several categories of protective equipment. Head protection includes hard hats for protection against falling objects and welding helmets for shielding the face and eyes from sparks, heat, and harmful radiation. Eye protection is provided by safety glasses, goggles, face shields, and gas welding #goggles, each designed for specific hazards such as dust, flying particles, or #welding operations. Respiratory #protection is essential when working in dusty or contaminated environments. Dust masks, half-face masks, and full-face respirators help protect against airborne particles and certain fumes. However, they must never be used in oxygen-deficient atmospheres or where toxic gases are present unless they are specifically designed for those conditions. The poster also emphasizes the importance of protecting the skin, hands, feet, and hearing. Boiler suits, waterproof clothing, thermal suits, and barrier creams help protect the body from chemicals, weather, and dirt. Different types of gloves are available for handling ropes, welding, chemicals, cold environments, and impact hazards. Safety shoes, boots, and rubber boots protect the feet from heavy objects, sharp materials, water, and chemicals. Ear plugs and ear defenders reduce exposure to harmful noise levels and help prevent hearing loss. Finally, specialized equipment such as safety harnesses and personal gas monitors is required for high-risk activities, including working at heights and entering enclosed spaces. These devices must always be inspected before use and worn according to #safety procedures. Using the correct #PPE is not only a legal requirement but also a personal responsibility. Proper selection, regular inspection, and correct maintenance of protective equipment help create a safer working environment and protect both individuals and their colleagues from preventable injuries.

Safety Procedures for Electric Shock, Drowning, and Serious Injury #Safety is one of the most important priorities on board a ship and in every industrial workplace. The poster explains the basic actions that should be taken in case of electric shock, drowning, or serious injury. Quick and correct actions can save a person’s life before professional medical help arrives. In the case of an #electricshock, the first priority is to protect yourself. Never touch the casualty until the electrical power has been switched off or the victim has been separated from the power source using an insulating object such as wood or plastic. High voltage can cause severe burns, heart failure, or respiratory arrest. If a person is drowning, they should be removed from the water as quickly and safely as possible. Resuscitation should begin immediately if necessary, and the casualty should be treated for hypothermia after #rescue. For a serious injury, it is important to eliminate any ongoing danger before helping the casualty. Heavy bleeding should be controlled by applying direct pressure. If a spinal injury is suspected, the casualty should not be moved unless absolutely necessary, and the head, neck, and spine should be kept aligned. The poster also highlights the ABC of #resuscitation: A – Airway: Check if the casualty is responsive and open the airway by tilting the head and lifting the chin. B – Breathing: Look, listen, and feel for normal breathing. If the casualty is not breathing, begin rescue breaths. C – Circulation: Check for a pulse and start chest compressions if there is no pulse, continuing CPR until help arrives or the casualty recovers. Finally, if the casualty is breathing but remains unconscious, they should be placed in the recovery position to keep the airway open and reduce the #risk of choking. Following these simple emergency procedures can significantly improve the chances of #survival and reduce the severity of injuries. Every crew member should be familiar with these basic first aid principles and be prepared to act quickly and safely in an emergency.
