DMET- MERI Alumni (Singapore) President’s Message

Sanjiv Mishra (Roll Number 3806, Class of 1991)

Welcome to our annual day (12th reunion) of DMET-MERI Alumni (Singapore) Association. This annual day, we are bringing to you a series of entertainment programs including a Bollywood celebrity, a famous emcee and many engaging activities.

DMET-MERI Alumni (Singapore) is a NON-PROFIT organisation dedicated to building a network of DMETMERI Alumnus in Singapore to provide alumni networking opportunities, boost mutual collaborations and foster and promote the DMET-MERI brand equity. There are more than 300 alumni (maritime professionals) in Singapore working in different sectors of the maritime industry, primarily with ship management companies.

After 2 years of uncertainty and disruption caused due to the COVID catastrophe, 2022 was the year when we returned to some form of normalcy. We organised the long overdue 11th reunion in 2022, which turned out to be a huge success. It was attended by almost 400 people - 180 alumni, their spouses and many key sponsors. Although majority of the guests were from Singapore, we also welcomed a number of overseas Alumni and guests who flew in from countries such as the US, Dubai, India, UK and New Zealand. An opportunity to connect seniors, juniors and batchmates under one roof was created. A cadet and 2 members of the DMET Samvaad Team were also present at the event updating the Alumni on all the new comings of the college campus.

Apart from the quintessential dinner and dancing organised for the reunion, we also managed to schedule Diwali Movie Night on 30th October, which was attended by around 500 alumni and their families.

We continue to plan our regular events (technical meet, family day and movie nights) this year that can be followed up via WhatsApp broadcast and other channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) to get regular updates. Please ensure to save our WhatsApp number +65 8433 2312

We urge all the alumni from Singapore to use the GlueUp app/website to formally register as members and pay the applicable annual membership fee. Each alumnus has a unique user ID (their respective emails) which is already registered with us. If you have recently moved to Singapore or are facing any difficulty with GlueUp log-in, please write to membership@dmetalumnisg.com with your batch, roll number, cell phone so that we can provide the necessary support to you.

It was decided in the last AGM that all senior alumni of the 1980 pass out batch and earlier will be granted honorary memberships and therefore they do not have to pay the annual membership any more. We also inducted 4 new associate members for the year 2023. Our annual magazine is also available digitally on Issuu for wider coverage globally.

The Singapore chapter is maintaining good cooperation with the alma mater. We have contributed INR 1.5 lacs to the college this year for the Alumni night which was organised on 12th February. We are also sponsoring two cadets from the college campus to attend the 12th reunion.

These events cannot be organised at this magnitude without the necessary funds. I, on behalf of the executive committee, thank all sponsors who have been supporting us for the last many years in making our events extravagant. I would like to convey my special gratitude to the major sponsors (main, gold and silver) for their valuable contributions.

Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank each and every member of the committee, the entire alumni and everyone who has been contributing to the association in one way or the other in spite of their hectic schedules. Looking forward to your continuing support.

Bon voyage and have fun. Till next Alumni meet!

Yours sincerely,

Sanjiv Mishra

DMET-MERI (Singapore) Alumni President’s

Director (Outgoing)

IMU, Kolkata Campus

Arun Kishore Eswara (Roll Number 5020, Class of 2001)

Dear Alumni,

I have handed over the responsibilities of campus Director, IMU Kolkata to Radm. (Dr.) Rangachari P J (Retd.) on 27th February 2023. Alumni can offer the support and interact with the new Director at director.kolkata@imu.ac.in

I wish him all the best during his tenure in the next three years. I continue my work at IMU Kolkata (erstwhile DMET / MERI) as Associate Professor – Marine Engineering taking care of placements, academics, research, projects and consultancy works in addition to completing my PhD thesis that has taken back seat all the while in shouldering additional duties.

My email ID is akeswara@imu.ac.in and eakishore@gmail. com

I have the following concern for our institution, which I felt needs to be conveyed to our community to draw their attention, motivate and find people to join working within and benefit IMU Kolkata in the long run. The timing of this article is apt to make an appeal to alumni to take up academic roles at the Indian Maritime University, which is a Central University under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Govt. of India. The University into which DMET / MERI Calcutta is amalgamated in 2008.

There is an urgent need for Alumni Support in IMU Kolkata

Campus to meet the demands of maritime engineering education.

The Indian Maritime University (IMU), Kolkata Campus, has been instrumental in shaping the maritime education landscape of India and producing top-class marine engineers and professionals. However, the institution is facing a severe shortage of quality faculty members, hindering the quality of education imparted to the students. This shortage of faculty is in part due to the reluctance of alumni to join the institution and contribute to its growth.

The New Education Policy (NEP) of India aims to promote a research-oriented culture in higher education institutions, but the implementation of this policy may not be enough to address the issues faced by the maritime engineering field. We are aware of how insignificant attention is paid in Indian academics for Maritime education. It needs no mention that not only the mainstream education, but our own alumni have shied away in pursuing development of the vertical in India. Maritime engineering is a practical and professional field that requires constant skill and technology upgradation, making it challenging to find quality teachers.

Public institution like IMU is much like a mini-India, where the stakeholders (alumni) are mired in their own busy work, have

a lot of emotions, anxiety, admiration, but no commitment to take up the mantle. Everyone would like to see a leader to bring change, but do not step out of their comfort to face the real-world challenges to become one.

I understand that alumni may have their own reasons for not joining the institution, including lifestyle choices, family considerations, and financial commitments. However, I urge alumni to consider the impact their skills and knowledge can have on the next generation of maritime professionals.

By joining IMU Kolkata as faculty members, alumni can help shape the curriculum, impart valuable industry insights, and provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in their careers. The institution needs alumni support to improve its day-to-day activities, academic programs, consultancy, research, brand promotion, and policy improvement.

I urge alumni to consider the long-term benefits of contributing to the institution that shaped them into the professionals they are today. By contributing to the development of IMU Kolkata, we can ensure that future generations of maritime professionals receive the quality education that we all urge for.

I invite alumni to fill in their application and compete to be a faculty at IMU Kolkata through the link provided. Your expertise and experience are invaluable assets that the institution desperately needs. Let us come together and support IMU Kolkata in meeting the demands of maritime engineering education and training.

I hope that you will consider joining IMU in this noble endeavor and contribute to the growth and development of IMU Kolkata. Your expertise and experience are invaluable assets that the institution desperately needs.

Please fill in your application and compete to be a faculty at IMU by scanning the QR code below:

Thank you for your attention and support.

President Institute of Marine Engineers (India)

It is again that time of the year when DMET-MERI Alumni at Singapore organise their annual Reunion. After a brief gap necessitated due to Corona, the ritual of the Reunion restarted last year, and I am happy to note, continues this year too, on 29th April 2023.

The enthusiasm of the DMET-MERI Alumni of Singapore has always been praiseworthy and worthy of emulation. Their events are well spaced through the year, and looked forward to by all, be it the Diwali Movie Show and Dinner, New Years Eve Party or what have you. Other Associations across the globe could do well to take a page or two out of their book.

Differences of demographics, behaviours, career and age, all melt away during these meetings of alumni due to the overpowering bond of camaraderie that alumni harbour for their fellow college mates. Slowly, alumni from other countries have also started congregating here, for the wonderful opportunity to meet old friends and develop contacts during this annual get together. I am certain that within a short period of time, this once local reunion will become the global reunion for DMET-MERI Alumni.

With social media having taken the fancy of people across generations, the ability to stay connected has never been easier. The usage of various platforms available on the internet results in instantaneous networking and allows like-minded souls to interact regularly and hold discussions on common topics. These type of get togethers act as a catalyst and give an opportunity for all to first meet and then subsequently leverage existing social media to make the world an even smaller place to navigate.

The traditions of DMET-MERI engrained within its alumni results in immediate bonding, again irrespective of

demographics, behaviours, career and age. The confidence in the abilities of a DMET-MERI graduate are not unfounded with a lot of alumni scaling heights in different parts of the globe in sphere of life they have opted for. The support system which is extended to other alumni is something which is admirable and needs to be seen to be believed.

With over 300 alumni located in one of the world’s largest maritime hubs, the opportunity for the Singapore alumni to make a tangible difference in international shipping through decision making is indeed immense. I am sure this would also extend to Alumni seizing the opportunity to contribute positively to Zero carbon shipping and conservation of the environment, and sustaining the environment for future generations. With Indians gradually taking on leadership roles across the globe, we can aim to contribute to be leaders in providing solutions to these problems.

The Institute of Marine Engineers (India) during the past few months has been able to register IMARE Singapore with the ROC and is committed to make its presence felt across the world. IMARE Singapore has been IME(I)’s first foray into global waters and we welcome all to become Members of the IME(I). IMARE Singapore has ambitious plans to serve Mariners in this corner of the world and the IME(I) will work to make this happen.

On this special occasion of the Singapore DMET-MERI reunion I take the opportunity to whole heartedly wish you and your families the very best in your endeavours.

May Lord Varuna be kind onto us and bless us all with his love and abundance.

ESG

In the Maritime Sector

By Jonathan Abrahams | DNV

The shipping industry is experiencing an increased attention towards ESG and decarbonisation from multiple stakeholders like regulators, financiers, and cargo owners. There is a demand for a fact-based scientific disclosure of your sustainability story.

In this context the maritime sector needs a broad range of services related to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG). These are typically integrated with the decarbonization journey and include ESG and decarbonization strategies, ESG framework development, implementation of operational and technical measures, ESG KPIs, ESG due diligence and ESG reporting.

ESG – What does this mean to Maritime

On the back of the ever-changing climate crisis, how companies respond to this will be decisive for their survival in

Key Drivers for Sustainability in

business. This is because there are now many more interested parties - those that have an opinion or can affect decisions that directly effect ship design, construction, ownership, financing and operation.

• E (environment) is typically the easiest to define and scope, such as AER / CII and waste, and is also most typical of what companies report under their ‘sustainability’ title

• S (social) covers a wide range of ‘people’ focussed topics including those related to safety, training and community engagement. Much of the data that is reported under this scope are also routinely collected but is not always highlighted (usually because ‘it is not material to our operation’)

• G (governance) captures policies, procedures and programs that set the rules under which the business operates. This includes regulatory, ISO-standards, and things like whistle-blower / information security structures.

What is Business as Usual

ESG is often referred to as ‘Sustainability’ which is possibly easier to understand about what the objectives are and what should be included. Of course, it is important to always keep in mind that remaining a viable (financial) business should be number one priority!

However, with IMO and EU and many regional port states reacting in different ways to the increasing attention from the public (for example, addressing noise in a port area, or shareholders protesting against the fossil fuel sector or banks insisting on borrowers to provide emission data each year) it is making it almost impossible to state what is ‘usual’ anymore.

What can be guaranteed, is that this topic and all that it can entail, will change constantly - supporting the premise that the new BAU is ‘ Business Unusual ’.

How to start

As described above, most companies already have many of the ingredients for an ESG program that can be reported. But knowing what is missing or what can be improved requires a little more effort. The following four stages

provide a framework to confirm what you have and identify and plan for what you do not.

1. Company ESG/Sustainability maturity and gap analysis

2. Develop/confirm ESG strategy including selection of KPIs and targets

3. Reporting framework established, trialled (and iterated through experience)

4. Actively using ESG framework to enhance business outcomes including continual improvement

What describes a good ESG partner?

• Maritime industry insights and deep technical domain knowledge

• Ability and track record in navigating continuously changing environmental regulations and support in managing risk

• Long-standing corporate ESG experience and expertise in managing risks related to ESG such as pollution, safety and new or stricter KPIs from stakeholders such as banks and cargo owners

• Next stage integrated ESG audit capability that can help link ISM, MLC, ISPS, ISO and ESG into one management system ▄

Leading Maritime Industry Forward Digital Transformation

By Uttam Kumar | Roll Number 5461 | Class of 2004

The maritime industry is undergoing a rapid transformation due to technological advancements and the increased complexity of rules and regulations. There is a clear advantage for early-adopter companies that can take bold steps and drive the industry forward. The leading shipping companies need to rethink their businesses by taking a customer-centric approach, driving product innovation, and generating customer value.

Digital technology like industrial IoT, cloud computing, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and AR/VR are no longer buzzwords in the maritime context. Instead, these technologies drive remote monitoring and operations, enhance operational efficiency, increase profitability, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance safety on board ships.

“

“ The enterprise that does not innovate ages and declines, and in a period of rapid change such as the present, the decline will be fast.

Peter Drucker

However, technology alone cannot solve these problems or create new opportunities. Instead, digital technology will require a journey called “digital transformation,” which would include redefining and automating business processes, people management, and data-driven decision-making.

Companies can envision themselves as digital leaders and create significant value for their customers through digital transformation.

Terrains for Change - Threats and Opportunities

Change is a powerful force, and as the Greek philosopher Heraclitus once remarked, “the only constant in life.” Businesses must use these opportunities to help the shipping industry achieve a better future. The biggest demon, though, is their history, pride, and perhaps rigidity in the idea that “We have always done it this way.” Companies must get rid of their rigidity in this disruptive environment and adopt a growth mindset while utilizing their domain expertise. Only then will they be able to realize their vision and establish themselves as customer champions.

There are many opportunities and challenges for shipping companies in this era of digital disruption. Some of them are highlighted in the table below.

Maritime Technology and Various Applications

The advancement of technology and data generation requires powerful applications that can solve critical industry problems. Some are listed below but are not limited to the list:

a. IoT-based remote monitoring and operations

b. AI-based Predictive Maintenance

c. Big data-enabled Voyage Optimization

d. Blockchain-based asset tracking

e. Metaverse-based training and marketing

f. IoT-based inventory management and procurement

g. Intelligent chatbot for improved customer experience and service

h. Automated document management system

However, their value realization will only be possible with an effective digital transformation.

Leading Digital Transformation

Digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation are key concepts discussed in every conference, meeting room, and practice across companies. However, people need clarification about their exact meanings, and they are often used interchangeably.

While digitization and digitalization are more about technology, digital transformation is about generating customer value.

To achieve technological success, every shipping company must consider digital transformation as a long-term investment and a journey that will require changes in business processes, people management, and data-driven decision-making.

While digitization and digitalization are more about technology, digital transformation is about generating customer value.

Major Threats Opportunities

• Data-driven decision making

• People mindset

• Cultural change

• Digital products efficacy

• Solution implementation

• Proof of business case

• Political motive/agenda

• Change in regulation

• Disruptive technology

• Competitive landscape

• Global political environment

• Monetization of data and services

• Transparent operation

• Problem-solving using technologies

• Operations efficiency

• Improved safety

• Improved regulations and commercial compliance

• New product innovation and services

• Establish as a thought leader

• Global expansion

To achieve technological success, every shipping company must consider digital transformation as a long-term investment and a journey that will require changes in business processes, people management, and data-driven decision-making.

Digital transformation will need:

• Transformation of the current operating model of ship operation across its value chain.

• Change in people’s mindsets, digital engagement, and adoption.

• Introduction of new functions, business process revamps, and changes in job descriptions.

We see four key challenges that must be addressed across various functions and strategy execution to succeed in the digital transformation journey: the decision challenge, the change challenge, the political challenge, and the cultural challenge. Let’s examine each of these challenges in depth.

Decision Challenge

In this knowledge economy, it’s imperative for companies to move away from hierarchical modes of decision-making to a more cohesive approach through practical guidance and facilitation.

Prof. van der Heyden developed and proposed the Fair Process Leadership (FPL) methodology to help organizations make critical decisions by engaging the participants in these uncertain times. The FPL methodology comprises five stages and, if successfully implemented, can generate trust, lead to effective collaboration and collective commitment, and drive team and organizational performance.

Prof. Heyden explained these five stages as below:

• Engage: Stay with the problem more with stakeholders

• Explore: Seek new and disruptive ideas

• Decide and Explain: Make fair decision but explain trade-offs

• Execute: ensure execution excellence

• Learn: retrospective - celebrate, feedback, and correct course of action

Any company considering digitalization opportunities should involve stakeholders early and agree on the critical problems. Additionally, brainstorming is crucial, and the group should explore unconventional suggestions and make fair decisions. Finally, establishing clear roles, responsibilities, support, and success metrics is vital during execution.

Driving change on a large scale requires both strategic planning and tactical execution, particularly in a complex shipping value chain. According to research, there are ten foundations that can act as a guiding light for any business and drive effective change management in any organization.

Digital Transformation

Engage Learn

Change Challenge

One of the significant obstacles to digitalization’s success is change management. For digital transformation to be successful, people, processes, and products must all work together. It’s also known as “transformation first, digital later” when discussing digital transformation. As a result, the people are at the center of the transformation.

In order to drive successful change management

• It’s critical to have a crystal-clear vision and an emotional narrative to connect to the people.

• Building a growing set of coalitions between business and IT is key to scaling up the transformation and ensuring success.

• Adopt a top-down approach for institutionalizing the vision across all stakeholders, both internal and external. It’s better to over-communicate than under-communicate, ensure addressing their hidden concerns are addressed.

• Top-class execution is critical: ensure regular checkins and follow-ups and establish a project plan with a roadmap and milestones.

• Bringing consistency in communication, behaviors, and action is also super critical.

• Celebrate small wins, highlight success, and make a splash in the big event.

• Resilience and being contagious through passion and integrity are vital to bringing people together.

Political Challenge

Driving change management is crucial for success, but advancing digital transformation in an organization also requires dealing with political issues through networks and influence. Organizational politics is a part of any company. It involves a group of allies who can use relationships and influence skills to scale the digital transformation up to a company-wide operation.

There are many pillars of a political challenge, including soft power, political currency, influencing tactics, and networking, which further enable the development of allies in order to thrive in the business environment.

Establishing a digital champion is one strategy for overcoming the political challenge in an organization during digital transformation. The digital champion must be a driven, passionate, and competent leader with a solid reputation to influence stakeholders both vertically and horizontally.

Soft Power

Politics

Influencing Tactics

The digital champion and associated team must align with the company vision and develop support from people by understanding their constraints and helping them gain desired support. They must forge close personal bonds, network outside hierarchical relationships to win over more supporters, and employ pull-influencing strategies to win their trust and commitment.

Cultural Challenge

It is rightly said that culture can eat strategy for breakfast. Leading digital transformation in this disruptive environment requires complete buy-in from employees and stakeholders. Digital transformation is achievable only through establishing a strong culture in depth and breadth.

It is imperative that each employee is guided by the company’s core principles and contributes to the success of the company. A robust cultural foundation can be a glue that holds the organization together and enables a compelling and digitally ready future.

C

People Artifacts GovernanceStructures

There are three cultural foundations that can result in successful cultural change are:

• Easily visible, symbolic artifacts - Ensure that it is practiced, visual, and used as a guiding principle for all

• Espoused values - Each company abides by specific core values, ensuring everyone breathes and lives by it

• Challenge assumptions - Observer behavior, Pulse check, survey for accurate status

There is no disputing the fact that the maritime industry is on the cusp of an industrial revolution, and the companies that uncover opportunities in digital transformation by embracing fair decision-making, leading formal change, addressing political challenges through network and influence, and developing a digital-ready culture will be the ones leading this industry forward! ▄

Asmart ship a.k.a. digital ship or intelligent ship is a concept where multitudes of digital technologies converge and synchronize to create a super-flexible connected ship that can learn various scenarios and adapt by itself. The prime characteristic of a smart ship is connectivity. Various systems and processes are interconnected with each other through a myriad of sensors, actuators, and other devices in order to create a cohesive production/operation environment.

Maintaining secure connections amongst a vast array of smart devices and keeping external malicious forces away from such a complex network of IT (Information Technology) devices and OT (Operational Technology) devices is the major challenge involved in such hyper-connected ecosystems.

This article presents a step-by-step approach to implement a robust and efficient operational cybersecurity program in your smart ship set up and enhance the cyber resilience of your vessel.

1

Begin with a cybersecurity gap assessment

When aiming to build strong cybersecurity within a smart ship it pays to know where you stand. A cybersecurity gap assessment (also known as maturity assessment against an established standard) is the right point to start with. Various environments such as the OT ecosystems, IT systems, corporate networks, IP security, control systems, connected systems,

and third-party risks related to the industry supply chain such as customers and suppliers must be brought under the purview of the assessment. Such an assessment will reveal the gaps in the current policies and practices, which can be addressed in the formulation of a formal cybersecurity governance program, which naturally is the next step.

Formulate a cybersecurity governance program

Formulate a formal plan to establish cybersecurity by addressing the gaps identified during the maturity assessment. In a smart ship setup, it is crucially important to include OT systems as well in the overall program. Historically, OT systems were always standalone systems. But as more and more OT systems got integrated with IT systems in the smart ship setups, proper attention was not paid to the security aspect of OT systems compared with the IT systems. As a result, many organizations have weak OT cybersecurity. Common controls which are implemented in the IT networks (such as configuration management, access control policy, authentication policy, and contingency plans in case of a security breach) are not implemented in the OT network. This leaves the entire cybersecurity plan inadequate as unprotected OT systems can also render the IT networks vulnerable to cyber security threats. So, it is of utmost importance to include both the IT and OT systems in the cybersecurity program of a smart ship.

Cybersecurity program implementation doesn’t stop at drawing a plan and announcing

Cyber threats are real, and breaches are happening around us. A cybersecurity breach can wreak havoc when it gains control over vital proprietary information and key operational processes, which can cause humongous losses in terms of customer trust, revenue, and can sometimes even compromise employee safety. Acknowledging and understanding the need for cybersecurity is the need of the hour. Establishing a well-thought-out strategy to implement, monitor, and improvise cyber security measures can reward smart factories with much-needed cyber resilience in the ever-expanding, digitally connected manufacturing ecosystem.

We hope that this article helped you to design and implement an efficient cybersecurity strategy for your smart ship.

Three Commitments “ “

The Maritime Human Capital Crunch

The Maritime industry is witnessing a significant crunch in retaining mid-level seafarers. Despite improved salary and perks, good working conditions onboard and the advancement of technology, marine companies are struggling to retain experienced mid-level seafarers. These experienced professionals often drop out of seafaring right when they are at the peak of their capabilities. Marine employers struggle to fill the gap created by this exodus of their most talented people. According to statistics, in 1995 there was a shortage of 10% in the critical ranks, which accelerated to 20% in 2020. There is a severe talent deficit that is affecting the maritime industry.

Without sufficient mid-level professionals, commercial ships that play a key role in logistics may struggle to meet the growing demands of global supply chains. There is an urgent need for a framework that can help Marine employers cope with this human capital crunch.

The” Three Commitment” Framework: Road to better employee commitment?

At the heart of employee retention is “Commitment”. Commitment is the degree to which employees feel invested in their employer. The more committed the employee, the lesser the chance for them to move on. The “Three Commitment” framework is a powerful framework to guide employee retention. This framework is the result of an indepth study conducted by author covering several marine employers and seafarers.

The Three Commitments

The study shows that seafarers’ commitment to their employer is a complex construct involving three key components: Salary and Perks, Emotional Bonding, and a Sense of Obligation. Each of these factors has an important role to play in driving employee retention.

1 2

Financial (Cost-Based) Commitment

Remuneration (salary and benefits) is a major driving force for any job and it is applicable to the maritime industry as well. A lucrative salary and benefits package can create “stickiness” by making it financially risky for the seafarer to move. However, this is not a long-lasting solution. When salary is the only driving force, chances are high for seafarers to shift to another company or profession that is offering more. Beyond a point, increasing remuneration loses its power to foster commitment.

Emotional Commitment

Social psychology tells us that peoples’ needs extend beyond food, clothing, and shelter. We want to belong, be valued, and be respected as individuals. Emotional commitment is the sense of “belonging” felt by an employee towards the employer. It is a powerful driver of retention.

Research shows that effort invested in creating Emotional Commitment among seafarers has an 8-fold impact on

retention compared to investment in salary and benefits. Therefore, building emotional commitment is a strategy that can help in employee retention for a longer period of time. People should feel connected with the company, they should feel valued and appreciated.

Small gestures like arranging team lunch, celebrating birthdays, and organizing meetings and events with the team members can have a impact on employees’ minds and an emotional attachment is formed automatically accompanied by a sense of commitment.

Obligation-based Commitment

Obligation-based commitment refers to the sense of obligation engendered in the mind of an employee due to a favourable action of the employer that benefits the employee without an obvious quid pro quo. An employer sending an employee overseas

As a factor in driving retention, every dollar invested in obligation-based commitment achieves the same impact as $36 spent on initiatives targeting salary/benefits. [beyond the hygiene salary level]

To employ obligation-based commitment, the company should be proactive toward employees’ welfare and pay attention to the staff’s individual growth. The company may initiate the process to upskill employees, arrange training programs, and invest in these activities without expecting anything in return. The staff will grow and deep down, they will develop a sense of gratitude for these unconditional initiatives. Employees’ gratitude can increase their loyalty to the company and make them stay longer.

What next?

Maritime organizations may need to evaluate the level of commitment and job satisfaction of the employees to

Standardization for a Better Quality of Life

By Gurvinder Chopra | Roll number 3462 | Class of 1987

Every task — regardless of how often we do it — requires rules that define the scope, quality, and methods to be followed. If we don’t standardize these rules, we can’t have visibility over whether we’re ensuring quality and reducing human error.

Standardization can be applied to any process, any task or procedure that is relevant to the organization: taking over a sea-watch, answering the phone, doing preventive maintenance, doing payroll, taking down client information, keeping track of tasks, etc. Fundamentally, standardization means that your employees have an established, time-tested process to use.

Some benefits of standardization are as follows:

• Improves clarity — because a standard process will eliminate the need for guesswork or extra searching

• Guarantees quality — because work is done in a pre-defined, optimized way

• Promotes productivity — because your employees won’t need to ask around or comb documentation to get answer

• Boosts employee morale — because employees can take pride in having mastered the process and refined their skills

• Perfects customer service — because every ticket is handled in the best possible way

Standards: The importance of Standards is quite known to the industry. The value that Standards or Standardization bring to their users, be it the Regulatory bodies, the designers, manufacturers, service providers or the consumers of the products, is enormous

Quality as it means to customers: Quality plays a decisive role in satisfying the needs of customers and retaining their loyalty, so that they continue to buy the same products and, recommend those products to others as well. Quality builds trust and creates a loyal customer. Whether it is food safety or quality, clean & safe drinking water, safe & effective household products when used as intended, safe & healthy workplaces, road safety & effective performance of vehicles & transportation infrastructure, they all refer to national and International standards.

Standardization for employees manufacturing products or in a service industry: Through processes governed by standards, employees have a defined method to conduct efficient, high-quality work to accomplish their goals, providing them with a strong sense of ownership and increasing overall company morale.

Purpose of standardization for executives: Assessing and effectively managing the risks associated with cost of poor quality (COPQ) as well as internal failure costs constituted by rework, delays, re-designing, re-testing, downtime, and external failure costs – and the effect that these costs and delays have on customer loyalty, warranties and losses due to reduced sales needs to be understood by the executives of a company. Companies

of national or international repute need to have suitable standards in place, ensuring that their products perform to the specifications and are able to generate confidence amongst their customers.

How disasters caused by some engineering failures, such as the sinking of the Titanic in 1912; the Walkway collapse in Hyatt Regency hotel in 1981; the Bhopal Gas tragedy in 1984; the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant explosion in 1986; and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 – have brought about changes in Standards, thus improving the quality of the products and equipment, and reducing the probability of failures and improving the overall safety of the product.

Learning Objectives:

1. Standardization needs to keep up with the pace of technology changes to ensure performance and safety, which determine the quality of any product, are always maintained.

2. As Quality is no longer the responsibility of any specific department, but rather, responsibility of everyone in the company producing the product, it becomes crucial for relevant Standards to be in place to help guide everyone including the manufacturers of components, products or equipment. This level of assurance indicates the final products available in the market are reliable and consumers can use those products for their convenience or for any intended purpose.

3. With Standardization in place, and by improving quality of the products and services, the quality of life can be improved. ▄

DMET-MERI Lady Cadets Leading The Way

By

The shipping industry has traditionally been male dominated, with women being under-represented in various roles within this industry. However, in recent years, there has been a significant shift towards gender diversity in the shipping sector. Women are now increasingly being seen as an asset to the industry and are being encouraged to take up leadership roles. This shift in gender diversity can also be seen in the maritime training Institutes too. It is a matter of great pleasure for me as a lady cadet of DMET-MERI to say that our institute at present has 58 lady cadets training under it and it is one of the largest numbers in the whole nation. Every lady cadet who has come to this Institute to get trained for a seafaring career has set their own mark and is motivated by the senior lady cadets who later have become the finest seafarers with successful

careers. It is also a matter of great delight and pride to see the contribution from the lady cadets of the Institute in the DMET Samvaad too. Currently the core team of DMET Samvaad has Ishika Sinha (9097) & Radhika Kumari (9164) - both from class of 2020-2024, leading the way for more lady cadets to join the Samvaad and be a part of it. Apart from that there are also 4 lady cadets in the remaining team of DMET Samvaad which is an extreme privilege for all the lady cadets of the Institute to join the Samvaad and work for it.

To promote gender sensitization in the maritime sector of the country, various levels of support have been adopted by the Ministry of Shipping, DG Shipping and various shipping companies. The annual scholarship of Rs.1,00,000

is provided to all the lady cadets who are training under established Maritime Training Institutes in India by DG shipping is a matter of great relief for girls who have chosen shipping as their career and encourages more girls to join this field. There are also scholarships provided by different shipping companies like Synergy to promote the upcoming lady cadets in Maritime Training Institutes. It is also a matter of happiness to see that there are several shipping companies that are actively working towards increasing their lady cadet’s intake and promoting women in the maritime industry. Some of these include Maersk, a global shipping company that has been actively working towards increasing gender diversity in the maritime industry. The company has set a target of having 50% female employees by 2025 and has also launched initiatives to promote gender equality in the workplace. Also, Chevron has been recognized for its efforts to promote gender diversity in the maritime industry. In 2020, the company was named as one of the best companies for women to work for, by the Women’s Choice Award. The company has also established partnerships with organizations that promote women in the maritime industry, such as the Women’s International Shipping and Trading Association (WISTA). All these initiatives by various companies in the shipping industry to remove the gender biasing is indeed a matter of relief and motivation for all aspiring women seafarers.

Before fully knowing about the Institute, I thought that there were only less chances for lady cadets in here but after getting to know about the DMET Samvaad and its importance, every one of our lady cadets took interest in it and

took part in being a member of this esteemed platform. It is a matter of extreme privilege to host sessions related to women in seafaring and shipping with dignitaries like Sonali Banerjee ma’am (Class of 1995-1999, India’s first Lady Marine engineer) and Smt. Ruchi Tripathi (Class of 1998-2002, Marine Vetting Specialist, Chevron Marine Assurance).

We also had a discussion on the Women’s Day, on the need of women seafarers in the shipping industry and also the challenges overcome by women in the maritime sector. We were honored to have Smt.Sonali Banerjee ma’am and Smt.Saleha Saikh ma’am, who are the Head Coordinators for women’s wing in the Maritime Union of India. The session was a very insightful one and there’s nothing more we as lady cadets are proud of than having the whole session being conducted by the lady cadets who are members of the DMET Samvaad.

DMET Samvaad has opened the doors for us especially from the perspective as a lady cadet, to new horizons and opportunities for us to interconnect with such great dignified women in shipping and to improve our caliber in this area on an equal footing with the male cadets of the Institute. Henceforth the DMET Samvaad has provided the lady cadets of the Institute with ample opportunities to shine on this maritime platform. With their exceptional skills and talent, I am sure that more lady cadets will come up front to join the DMET Samvaad and bring laurels to the Institute as well as to all the lady cadets out there. ▄

DMETian Aiming for World Record 2024

By Satyadeep Gupta | Roll number 5806 | Class of 2007

Hi, I am Satyadeep Gupta, I belong to Puranpur, Uttar Pradesh. I am a marine engineer and a mountaineer.

I am very much inclined towards outdoor activities like sky diving, trail running, and rock climbing. Born and brought up in a simple family I did my Marine engineering from MERI Kolkata in 2007. Thereafter I started pursuing my passion for adventure sports.

When I was introduced to the field of mountaineering, I picked up many technical skills and knowledge about planning and climbing a mountain. The courses I did were the basic and advanced mountaineering Courses from Nehru Institute of Mountaineering, Uttarkashi, I graduated with an A grade after completing expeditions to mountain peaks that were above 6000 and 7000 m.

My aim is to become the first Indian to climb MOUNT Makalu (8463 m) without supplementary oxygen in this coming May 2023. I also aim to achieve a world record by climbing both Mount Everest (8848 m) and Mount Lhotse (8481 m) within a month in 2024.

Currently, I am the first and only person from my state, Uttar Pradesh, to have received an award of 15 Lakh after summiting Mount Kanchenjunga in 2022. I intend to improve and create a world record in 2024.

Failure is the Mother of Success

After eight years of failures, my first summit was finally realised. This kept my dream of becoming a high-altitude mountaineer alive. At the same time, I would also want to promote adventure sports in our country. With that dream

in mind, I am pushing for more and skydiving is one of them. I sincerely hope one day, India could become an adventure sports powerhouse!

The Road Ahead

The next mountains I am attempting are MT Makalu (8463 m) (5th highest in the world)in April-May 2023 without using bottled oxygen (first Indian to do this) and Mt Everest in May 2024.

I am looking for sponsorship for my next Projects. With your contribution, I will be able to move on to inspire more youngsters to follow their aspirations. In return, I will proudly carry your brand on my equipment and plant a flag bearing your brand on the summit. Attempting the death zone

Mountaineering Expeditions

peaks is no simple challenge and my success will spur many others to dare to dream and make things happen. This is my way of contributing to the building of India.

Sponsorship Benefits

• Provide advertising opportunities for your organization/product, through logo and company name placement in promotional material and equipmentduring, and after the expedition.

• Create unique marketing content for your Product.

• Sponsoring My Expedition will provide your organization with multiple marketing opportunities, enabling exceptional branding exposure through a network of media contacts and our documentary.

• Raise your corporate profile and motivate your employees by supporting an attractive sports activity.

• Ensure recognition of your organization as a believer In the power of human potential.

• Help raises awareness of the environmental impact on our planet’s most fragile environment.

The Journey Entrepreneurship

By Vinay Gupta | Roll number 3972 | Class of 1993

It is a thought that comes to the mind of many having bigger aspirations and a tumultuous mind – vision of being independent and creating value for themselves or in other words – being an entrepreneur and how to go about this. And while I am no expert in this matter, however, having first-hand experience of founding UMMS in 2012 and successfully operating the company for about 11 years, I can share and pen down what I believe can help others in their planning, execution, and sustainability of the business if they dive into this arena. And in fine print I must mention before you read any further – this is neither a recipe that guarantees success, nor a solicitation or an offer for anyone to use this information for jumping into the unknown – these are my view, my opinions and could be construed as light reading material – at the most.

For the majority who have succeeded as an entrepreneur, and I have been fortunate to interact with a few during the last few years – this was not something that they had planned all their lives. It happened either by chance or that they were thrust into this and just the fact that they were ready for this that their vision became a reality. It is therefore not very common and entirely not untrue that you would hear people say – you must be at the right place at

the right time. It is important, though, to understand this in more detail and let me put this in a simplistic manner –a conducive environment and a leap of faith are the most critical ingredients to produce an entrepreneur.

And to define a conducive environment, it is when you are not satisfied in your present place of work, or your ideological philosophy does not match with the current organization – that is the perfect scenario for someone to think about taking the plunge. I would, however, like to add – salary/ compensation is not the right motivator for obvious reasons.

And even though there are many who continue to work in a very conducive environment but hesitate to take that leap of faith. For those who would like to understand leap of faith – have you seen a monkey jumping from one branch to another, it would leave the first branch and jump just on the faith that it would be able to latch on to the next branch. That faith is necessary for someone to jump. And this is indeed not easy – it requires conviction in what you believe in, courage to pursue this and perseverance to take this to the end. While a lot can be said about this, and it can be a topic to be discussed in itself, but, in my opinion, this is one

of the most critical aspects that holds people from starting something on their own – the fear of the unknown!

Once the decks have been cleared and someone has decided to take that plunge, it is mostly downhill from that point. Planning is indeed the next step for envisaging:

• Vision and mission statement – this defines the company’s goal and policy that would underline the story that everyone is expected in the company to sell. It is finally the story that would make the company unique and the product line sellable. Behavioural or style theory

• Product line – it is absolutely necessary for the product to be unique for it to be sellable. If there is no uniqueness in the product, it is not possible to sell. Transformational theory

• Finance requirements and cash flow projections – this is something that many fail to consider, and the majority of the businesses are unable to survive for long due to this weakness. Hiring a professional in this can be helpful and productive. Emotional intelligence theory

• Organization structure and the right team – for any organization, it is essential to have the right people for it to function and progress. Building a team that believes in the leadership, its vision and works together will out-perform the other competitors.

• Marketing strategy – And while the product range can be great and quality excellent, it is equally important to market it in a manner that the customers find value in the product and pay the price that would compensate for the efforts. There are several tools available in the market to strategize this correctly and again, an expert can help.

• Sustainability – Markets evolve, and the businesses need to evolve with the market and customers’ needs. This is the key to long term success. The product line of today or the story that is sellable in the current environment might not be true for tomorrow. Look around and you would all realize how the businesses that were thriving earlier have collapsed in a matter of a few years.

And while there is no secret recipe for success as each business would have different requirements, however, in my opinion, there is one ingredient that is a must – lots of hard work and great support from friends and family. Once started, it is a long haul and the journey, though fulfilling, can be a roller coaster ride. One must be prepared for this as there is no shortcut to success – at least I am not aware of that formula.

My best wishes to everyone who is at the edge and contemplating the mantra that Tiger Woods gave many years ago – Just do it! ▄

The Dream Land...

By Kumar Sambhav | Roll Number 8647 | Class of 2022

We all long to hear the three magical words from our beloved, in my case the words that did magic to me were… “You are joining from Singapore. Get ready.” A feeling of nervousness and excitement surrounded me. Thermodynamic cycles, annexes of MARPOL and Star-Delta connections started taking rounds of my brain. Port is left, starboard is right…I was reminding myself.

Fast forward 7 months, after going through a lot of firsts in my life…here I am sitting in the Engine Control Room wondering how it was all a dream when the first time I walked down the corridors of the Junior Hostel. Standing in the quadrangle I used to hear stories of sea and now the roles are reversed, now I would be part of the stories of people I am sailing with. So many lessons learnt, memories made which I would be cherishing for life because a first is a first, isn’t it?

But wait a minute, why does this TME rather than tracing the lines or cleaning the bilges has picked up his pen to write an article for the Alumni Magazine?

It is to thank you all for shaping me up. It is to thank you all for making DMET/MERI/IMU-KC whatever it is. It is a tribute to you all, The Techies of Taratala Road . You have enabled us to dream. Everywhere I see, I have someone from our tribe who sits at the top and inspires me…

Thanks for making this institution a Dreamland …Thanks for contributing to the culture of it which has made it a 4-year long life camp.

The best part being the confidence it has instilled in us. The feeling of being a class apart from the rest, and how we fake it till we make it even if we are not. (Let’s be honest, we all do it, some all the time, some when necessary). More than the subject matter taught in the institution, it is the hostel which transformed us.

Every time I ask a question to my seniors here, I have 2 kinds of responses. One type is, trace the lines and find out for yourself. The other type is, providing the plain and simple answer.

In my opinion, for the learning curve to be positive we need both…the push to be not dependent on others while at the same time being provided with the answers.

A balance of comfort and challenges has taken us lightyears ahead. Our premises have not always been in the best state, the facilities have not always been prompt but a lot more than that has been given in the form of hands on experiences, opportunities, celebrations and a worldwide brand to associate ourselves with. All in all, our dreamland has not disappointed us.

For everyone still in college…don’t let the spirit of it die. Don’t let the charm of it fade…you have inherited a legacy, live up to it and don’t stop dreaming… A true DMETian dares to dream. ▄

Lisbon and Setubal

Two distinct but memorable places to visit and legacy of DMET in the region

By Sunil Anand Roy | Roll Number 5019 | Class of 2001

Irecently had the chance to dry dock a vessel at Lisnave shipyard, Setubal, Portugal and it will remain a memorable experience for the dying loyalty of the local staff at Lisnave to their town of Setubal. I must have met a 100 people, who vouched for the exclusive seafood and wine on offer in Setubal and they coerced me to try these, an offer I could hardly refuse . The happy and enthusiastic people spread joy around.

300 years B.C. The castle has monuments dating back to the 8th – 9th century. Hermenegildo de Brito Capelo, known for his explorations of Africa, was born within the castle located in the village in Palmela.

Setubal is a small town roughly 40 Kms from Lisnave, is an industrial town, and a major commercial fishing centre, hence the seafood is fresh, mostly right from sea the same day. The town also boasts an extensive history and seafaring heritage. The forte de Sao Filipe , a heavily fortified castle that once guarded the Sado Estuary and provides wonderful views over the region.

The castle of Palmela is located around 10 Kms north of Setubal in Palmela, a city where the early inhabitants date back to as early as

The project manager, Mr. Ricardo, responsible for my vessel’s docking, kept talking about the fish market “The Marcado do Livramento” which unfortunately I could not visit, but learnt that it is the finest covered market in Portugal, with a vast array of stalls selling freshly caught fish, fruit and veg, as well as local handicrafts. A lively and chaotic experience of authentic Portugal and a must visit.

Lisbon or Lisboa in Portugal – is the capital of Portugal – a hilly city located on the coast has some of the best architectural monuments in the region. The city has the heart of a major city of the world and the street was full of beautiful people and tourists till early morning. Indeed, the city never seemed to be sleeping. The tourists could be seen queuing up at

the multiple museums and historical monuments early in the morning well before they were open. Vasco Da Gama set sail from Lisbon on 8th July 1497 and is credited for finding India to Europeans and establishing the trade route between India and Portugal or Europe.

Jeronimo’s Monastery – Tomb of some famous scholars and Kings of Portugal are located, including that of Vasco da Gama.

Padrao dos Descobrimentos (Monument to the discoveries) is in the Belem district, close to the Jeronimo’s Monastery. Together with the Tower of Belem , these monuments are associated with the rich maritime history of Portugal and their explorers.

Castelo de Sao Jorge is located right next to the centre of the city, on top of a hill overlooking the city and bay, providing a panoramic view of the entire city. It is a short 20-30 mins

walk uphill. There are auto rickshaws that provide tours of the city as well as public buses and trams that cater to the castle from downtown. The tram is worth a ride, and faster than any other service, looks as woody as Kolkata trams but vibrant and brightly coloured.

Legacy of DMET in Setubal: The best part of the tour was meeting 76-year-old Mr. Bandeira, who works as Public Relations Director at Lisnave shipyard. Knowing that I am from DMET, he took me for dinner, spoke at length about his wonderful memory with our very own, Mr. Syed. Talking about this made Mr. Bandeira tearful and heavily nostalgic.

DMETians do leave their impression that lasts a long time. Mr. Bandeira, indeed must have asked me to pass his regards to Mr. Syed several times. Mr. Syed is a DMET alumni from Class of 1969. He has been a mentor and a source of encouragement to many of the young Technical Superintendents, who joined ESM with no experience. ▄

Life is a surprise

Everyday be grateful as you rise

Caught in life’s incessant humdrum

Pause, live, breathe and rest aside your intrinsic ego or tantrum

Feel the bliss and count your blessings

Live to the core

POEMS Life! One Day

Life being a salad, create new dressings!

Live in the flow, its stages are like slices

Let loose all your fears, your talents need an exposé

Create a better world in entirety

We humans are for a reason, representing Humanity!

By Rishita Jha D/O Ratan Jha | Roll number 4750 | Class of 1998

One day we will succeed, after that, more success?

One day we will be wealthy, after that, more wealth?

One day we will make life comfy, after that, more comfort?

One day, one moment it all disappears, after that, what & who will be carried along?

One day we will even sacrifice the renouncement, after that, will we find ourselves?

One day everything was nothing, One day everything will be nothing.

One day!!

The World: Yours

Isn’t the world just an oyster?

The universe is nothing but all-giving in it’s glory, all for our taking

You create your reality;

Be the light, your own person, with your exuberance

An open window, symbolising a portalto a dimension

Where we are who we want to be, untethered, carefree

This world, a gift to us!

Be not that dormant seed

You’ve got a soul, a purpose to fulfill

The greenery calls you for an embrace

Hear the birds chirping, each saying your name

A wake up call

To wake up, and seize the day, seize what is yours, make this world yours

The world is delicious, love to savour Aspiration, perspiration and inspiration, all work in your favour

The challenges and opportunities are beckoning

Don’t you waste time in futile reckoning

Amidst the ebbs and tides, with gratitude and grit

Claim what is yours and never let go

Transcend the shackles of time

And realise this world, with you, is just fine

Step out into the unknown arena with hope

Being the hero of your story, episode by episode,

Wear your tragedies as your armour and level up

Your scars, your story

Determination, will, power

Getting you through the darkest hour

By Rashee Jha D/O Ratan Jha | Roll number 4750 | Class of 1998

The greens

Are like dreams

Connect with nature

Give in to its nurture

Just wake up to the benevolent beams of light, more light

Breathing into you new strength, new might

The open skies wait for you with open arms Follow your inner compass, run wild through woods and farms

Stop, stop to take a breath, Only once you have conquered all you have wished for and more

For this world is nothing more than a prize for you
