On January 2nd, Malaysia's Maritime Enforcement Agency received a newly constructed Offshore Patrol Vessel. The vessel, provisionally named OPV1, was formally handed over during a nighttime ceremony held at the shipyard of TH Heavy Engineering Berhad on Pulau Indah, Port Klang. This acquisition of the Offshore Patrol Vessel could potentially contribute to bolstering Malaysia's maritime defense and law enforcement efforts.

European Union's allocation of a RM9.5 million grant to Port of Antwerp-Bruges International (PoABI) and the Perak State Development Corp (PNKPk) represents a significant development in Malaysia's port and maritime sector. This funding aims to facilitate studies assessing Malaysia's potential as an international logistics and transport hub.

Always Put Safety First When Engaging in Sea Activities – Maritim Malaysia T

he Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (Maritim Malaysia) advises the public to always put safety first when engaging in sea activities during this festive season.

Hamid also advised tourist boat operators to comply with all established maritime regulations and laws, including ensuring the maximum passenger capacity and providing sufficient life jackets for all passengers.

Its director-general, Admiral Maritime Datuk Hamid Mohd Amin, said that those planning to organise and participate in such activities should check the weather forecast issued by the Meteorological Department, especially considering the rough sea conditions due to the Northeast Monsoon.

“Maritim Malaysia urges all parties heading to the sea to ensure their safety by wearing life jackets while sailing, fishing, or engaging in any activities involving movement at sea.

“In addition to life jackets, the public engaging in sea activities is also advised to carry a Personal Locator Beacon as it can assist and expedite search and rescue efforts at sea in case of emergencies,” he said in a statement.

MMEA Detains Two Tourist Boats Carrying Passengers Beyond Allowed Limit in Sabah The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) detained two tourist boats for carrying passengers beyond the allowed limit and neglecting safety aspects.

He urged all passenger boat operators to prioritize safety aspects when carrying passengers to the islands around the waters of Sabah to prevent untoward incidents.

Sabah and Federal Territory of Labuan MMEA director Maritime First Admiral Datuk Engku Suhaimi Che Engku Daik said the boats were detained during a maritime patrol operation codenamed ‘Preventive Search and Rescue’ about 0.18 nautical miles west of the Jesselton Jetty.

“Upon inspection of the first boat, it was found that the boat, operated by a local man, was carrying passengers beyond the permitted limit. The second detained boat was found to be operating without safety equipment and crew.

“Both boats and their skippers were escorted to the Sabah Maritime jetty in Sepanggar for further action,” he said in a statement today.

S

ince its establishment in 2006, the Pelita Maslaut Maritime Academy has reduced the number of foreign seamen working on Malaysian ships.

He said the academy would continue to train and educate Malaysian youth, especially in Sarawak, to venture into the maritime field.

Its general manager Mohamad Nazim Masni said yearly statistics showed that locals make up to 50% of the total workforce on Malaysian ships.

Previously, foreign sailors monopolized work in the marine field in the country.

“Since the setting up of our academy, we have successfully produced more than 5,000 local workers in the marine professional field,” he said at the course completion ceremony and presentation of certificates to course participants.

A total of 58 trainees consisting of 20 deck officers and engine engineers, and 38 deck and engine marine cadets received the course completion certificate presented by Tellina assemblyman Royston Valentine.

Nazim (standing, second from left) with some of the graduates.

He also called on Malaysian shipping companies to support the academy for it to be the foremost maritime education institution in Sarawak.

Nazim said Pelita MasLaut had produced sailors and marine officers as certified by the Malaysian Maritime Department Standards and STCW (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping) under the International Maritime Organization.

EU to Study Malaysia's Port, Maritime Potential Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad.

The European Union (EU) has channelled a RM9.5mil grant to Port of Antwerp-Bruges International (PoABI) and the Perak State Development Corp (PNKPk) says Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad.

“In addition to helping Lumut achieve its potential as the main driving force for the inclusive and sustainable development of the state of Perak, the state’s wealth of natural resources and the availability of infrastructure are complemented by the development of the Lumut Maritime Industrial City.

“The relationship with PoABI attracted the EU to the state to conduct a comprehensive study,” he said after the announcement of the grants yesterday.

He said the grant is aimed at conducting studies on Malaysia’s attractiveness in the port and maritime sector and drawing data on its suitability as an international logistics and transport centre.

Also present at the ceremony were PoABI managing director Kristof Waterschoot and PKNPk chief executive Datuk Redza Rafiq Abdul Razak.

He said the awarding of the grant from the EU was an important achievement that proved the country’s importance as a major investment destination.

Saarani said the study included nine assessments with four initial assessments focusing on Malaysia in general to attract potential investments from the EU or other foreign investors.

“While the total number of incidents of armed robberies against ships in Asia reported in 2023 has increased 19 percent compared to 2022, several arrests of perpetrators have also been made in various parts of Asia by the relevant coastal states.

These arrests serve as a deterrence and send a strong signal to the organized criminal groups that any acts of armed robbery against ships in Asia will be dealt with,” writes ReCAAP in its annual report.

Most incidents were reported in the area around Singapore and the Straits of Malacca (ReCAAP)

ReCAAP classifies the activity mostly as the least severe level of incidents in more than half of all the reports and notes that everything was armed robbery. They define piracy as only being on the high seas noting that all the reports were in coastal waters.

They also highlight that there have been no reports of abduction of crew for ransom in the region since January 2020.

While the overall increase was concerning, they highlight that with the intervention and enforcement from local authorities, incident reports peaked in the second quarter. While there were 34 incidents in the second quarter, the rate declined to 16 in the fourth quarter, which was the lowest quarterly level in five years. Two quarters in 2021 each saw 17 incidents and 18 in one quarter in 2020. The only lower level in the past five years was the 10 reports in the first quarter of 2019.

Most of the cases are robberies when engine spares are the most frequently stolen items. However, in a third of the cases, the perpetrators are scared off empty-handed. There was only one serious injury reported in the area around Singapore and the Malacca Strait, while in 53 of the 63 reports, there were no injuries. The perpetrators typically strike in the hours of darkness in groups between four and six people and when armed are most likely to have knives. The majority of the ships were underway when they were boarded.

The reports showed that most of the incidents were in the eastbound lanes of the traffic separation around Singapore. The incidents are grouped in areas near the entrance to the strait and as vessels approach the eastern terminus of the straits. The largest number (44) of the reports were aboard bulk carriers.

ReCAAP concludes that the strengthened operational cooperation and information sharing among the littoral states led to several arrests of perpetrators. They note that littoral states have stepped up enforcement efforts both on land and sea helping to reverse the trend of increases in robberies through the first half of 2023.

China, Philippines Seek to Manage Conflicts over South China Sea The two countries agreed to better manage maritime conflicts through friendly consultation.

China and Philippines foreign affairs officials agreed to improve maritime communication and to properly manage conflicts and differences through friendly talks in regards to issues around the South China Sea, according to a statement from the Chinese foreign ministry.

China assistant foreign minister Nong Rong and Philippines foreign ministry undersecretary Theresa Lazaro held a frank and in-depth exchange of views on the current situation while cochairing the eighth meeting of the China-Philippines Bilateral Consultation Mechanism on the South China Sea in Shanghai, according to the statement.

In the talks, the two sides reaffirmed that the South China Sea dispute is “not the whole story of bilateral relations.”

The two countries have had numerous confrontations recently in certain disputed waters in the South China Sea, with both trading accusations of provoking conflict in the economic strategic waterway.

Beijing claims sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea, including parts of the exclusive economic zones of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam.

Both officials believe “maintaining communication and dialogue is essential to maintaining maritime peace and stability”, according to the statement.

The two sides agreed to properly manage maritime conflicts and differences through friendly consultations, as well as properly handle maritime emergencies, the statement said.

Relations between the countries have been strained for months, but both have reiterated a commitment to dialogue.

China summoned the ambassador from the Philippines and warned the country “not to play with fire” after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr congratulated Taiwan’s president-elect Lai Ching-te on his election victory.

China demanded that the Philippine side earnestly abide by the one-China principle.

The Philippine side reiterated that it adheres to the one-China policy and will continue to implement it, according to the Chinese foreign ministry statement.Top of Form

Indonesia Opens Access to Alternative Markets for Shrimp Exports I

ndonesia’s Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries has opened alternative market access for Indonesian shrimp commodities in several countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe.

“Middle East, Eastern Europe, and South Africa are strengthening global shrimp market access in order to open non-traditional markets that have important potential,” Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono noted in a statement.

Trenggono also views China as one of the alternative markets for Indonesian shrimp commodities.

This refers to the high growth of the Chinese shrimp market that has recorded a significant increase over the last five years from 2018 to 2022, at 49 percent per year and reached US$6.3 billion in 2022, while Indonesia’s share is still quite small, at only 1.8 percent during that year.

Related to the effort to open access to alternative markets, Trenggono also encouraged the consolidation and active participation of farmers, suppliers, processors, shrimp associations, Indonesian Retailers Association (APRINDO), Association of Indonesian Food Service Providers (PPJI), the Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) and hotels, restaurants, and cafes (HOREKA) to increase the uptake of the domestic market.

“Synergy with business actors is very important, and we are pleased with the optimism of shrimp business actors towards this commodity. Do not forget about the innovation of readyto-cook and ready-to-eat shrimp products to respond to the market needs and trends,” he stated Director General of Strengthening the Competitiveness of Maritime and Fishery Products Budi Sulistiyo admitted that he was conducting an analysis of the shrimp market, both globally and domestically. The results of which would be distributed periodically to business actors.

“As the minister said, the synergy and collaboration for shrimp strengthening is very important, given the high potential of this commodity,” Sulistyo remarked.

Earlier, the ministry had prepared several strategic steps to face anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD) charges against Indonesian frozen shrimp exports to the US market from the American Shrimp Processors Association (ASPA) through a petition on October 25, 2023.

The coverage of Indonesian shrimp subject to the petition includes all frozen tropical shrimp, excluding fresh shrimp and breaded shrimp.

Based on Sunset Reviews 2022, to date four countries are still subject to anti-dumping import duty, namely China, with a maximum duty of up to 112.81 percent; India, up to 110.9 percent; Thailand, up to 5.34 percent; and Vietnam, up to 25.76 percent.

Singapore’s Maritime and Port Authority Selects Consortium for Electric-Vessel Charging Trials The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said that it has selected a consortium to carry out a trial for the charging of electric harbor craft over the next two- to three years.

Pyxis Energy, Pyxis Maritime and SP Mobility will install a vessel charging point at Marina South Pier for trial between March 2024 and March 2026, with an option to extend it by another year, MPA said in a statement.

The MPA has mandated that all new harbor craft operating in Singapore will have to be fully electric, be capable of using B100 biofuel, or be compatible with net-zero fuels like hydrogen from 2030.

Separately, MPA will also work with a unit of Singapore-listed Seatrium to develop its mobile charging concept, and Yinson Electric, part of Malaysia’s Yinson Holdings Bhd, on its proposal for a high-power charger.

The projects are part of MPA’s plans to roll out charging infrastructure for electric harbor craft in Singapore from 2025, as it looks to transit away from fossil fuels and reduce emissions.

M

inister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi, on January 19, received ‘The Most Supportive Leadership in Indonesia’s Maritime’ award from PT Pertamina International Shipping during The Voyage Glory awarding ceremony in Jakarta.

Sumadi bagged the award for his remarkable contribution to Indonesia’s efforts in advancing its national maritime sector.

“I would like to encourage all shipping firms in Indonesia to forge cooperation and synergy with international players in the hopes of further enhancing the competitiveness of the national shipping industry,” he noted in a statement received from the Ministry of Transportation.

In an effort to boost the industry’s competitiveness, Sumadi highlighted that the government had been implementing the principles of cabotage that grant exclusive rights to vessels with the Indonesian flag and Indonesian crew members.

“We will continue to maintain the implementation of the principles of cabotage. However, it should be noted that we also need to augment our competitiveness in order to be able to compete with global shipping companies,” he remarked.

He then called on Indonesian shipping companies to produce and prepare resilient young talents that wield the capability of competing with global shipping players.

Indonesian President Discusses Maritime Tensions, Economy on Vietnam Trip According to a report from the state-run Voice of Vietnam, which was translated and reported by BenarNews, the two leaders “reaffirmed the importance of peace, stability, safety, security, and freedom of navigation and overflight in the East Sea.” (The East Sea, or Bien Dong, is Vietnam’s name for the South China Sea.) The meeting follows months of intensifying tensions in the disputed waterway, where China has ramped up its efforts to advance its expansive maritime claims. In particular, it has aggressively laid claim to waters claimed by the Philippines, leading to a string of tense encounters, including several in which Chinese ships have rammed Philippine vessels seeking to resupply the small detachment of troops on Second Thomas Shoal in the Spratly Islands.

President Joko Widodo’s state visit came in the middle of a Southeast Asian tour that also involved stops in the Philippines and Brunei.

According to BenarNews, once again quoting the Voice of Vietnam, the two sides also “pledged to fully and effectively implement” the Declaration on the Conduct (DOC) on the South China Sea, signed between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 2002, and to “push ahead with negotiations” for the long-awaited Code of Conduct (COC).

South China Sea tensions and economic cooperation topped the agenda during Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s state visit to Vietnam over the weekend. On Friday, Jokowi met his Vietnamese counterpart Vo Van Thuong in Hanoi, with subsequent state media reports claiming that the two leaders discussed closer cooperation on trade and investment and the importance of keeping a lid on intensifying maritime frictions between China and rival maritime claimants in the South China Sea. Jokowi’s visit to Hanoi from Thursday to Saturday was part of a Southeast Asian tour that took him to the Philippines last week and was followed by a stop in Brunei this weekend, prior to his return to Indonesia yesterday.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo, in gray suit, speaks to executives from the Vietnamese auto-maker VinFast during his visit to the company’s factory in Hai Phong, Vietnam, January 13, 2024.

The COC, which has been a perennial agenda item for China and ASEAN since the DOC’s signing, aims to create a series of guidelines to guide claimant states’ behavior pending the resolution of the welter of overlapping claims in the South China Sea. However, many observers believe that China’s constant reference to the COC, has no serious intention of finalizing an agreement, and that its current behavior is hardly indicative of any desire for one.

Notably, Jokowi and Thuong were quoted as agreeing that any COC should be “substantive, effective [and] in line with international law.” This meshed with the view that Jokowi expressed during his visit to the Philippines, where he and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. “stressed the universality” of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), “which sets out the legal framework that governs all activities in the oceans and in the seas.”

According to a Reuters report, which cited a joint statement issued by the two sides, Jokowi’s visit saw the two sides sign a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the field of information technology and communications. Thuong also expressed a desire to boost bilateral trade to $15 billion annually, up from around $14.1 billion last year.

which last September announced plans to invest $1.2 billion in the Indonesian market. This included around $200 million for the construction of a factory in the country that it hopes to be operational by 2026. Reuters reported that during his talks with Thuong, Jokowi praised VinFast’s intention to invest in Indonesia. In return, Thuong “encouraged Indonesian firms to invest more in Vietnam, including in the banking sector.”

The other curious news to emerge from Jokowi’s visit was the absence of Nguyen Phu Trong, the head of the Communist Party of Vietnam, who prior to his appearance at a National Assembly meeting today, had not been seen in public since December 26. Trong, who regularly receives visiting foreign leaders during state visits, also missed a meeting last week with Lao Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone.

Prior to his reappearance in public, Trong’s absence prompted all manner of rumor and media speculation. But it does highlight the pivotal role that Trong currently plays in Vietnam’s opaque politics, and the uncertainties that would arise in the event of his incapacitation. The 79-year-old, who has a recent history of health issues, is now in this third term as party chief, and is expected to hand over the post – the most powerful of Vietnam’s four major political leadership posts – to a successor at the next party congress in 2026.

Malaysia’s Coast Guard Receives New Offshore Patrol Vessel M

alaysia’s Maritime Enforcement Agency took delivery of a new Offshore Patrol Vessel on January 2, with the provisionally named OPV1 handed over in a nighttime ceremony at shipbuilder TH Heavy Engineering Berhad’s shipyard at Pulau Indah, Port Klang.

The ceremony was officiated by the Secretary General of Malaysia’s Home Ministry, Yang Bahagia Datuk Haji Ruji bin Haji Ubi. Other senior officials in attendance included the director of the MMEA, Laksamana Maritim Datuk Hamid Mohd Amin, and TH Heavy Engineering Berhad chairman Yang Bahagia Dato’ Ir. Jauhari bin Hamidi.

After the ceremony, OPV1 was docked at the Royal Malaysian Navy’s National Hydrographic Centre at Pulau Indah, with a Navy delegation visiting the OPV on January 5. According to a statement issued after the visit, the delegation sought to explore potential Navy options for procuring new ships built in local shipyards.

The OPV1 OPV1 is the first of three ships in the class, a Malaysianmanufactured variant of Damen’s OPV 1800 design. While it is expected to be named KM (Kapal Maritim, or Coast Guard Ship) Tun Fatimah and already broadcasts with that name on the automated identification system, it has yet to officially receive the name.

In November, Laksamana Maritim Datuk Hamid Mohd Amin announced that OPV1 will be based in Kuching, Sarawak, where it will patrol the state’s South China Sea waters as part of a larger move to boost the MMEA’s presence in Borneo.

The 83 meters-long OPV has a beam of 13.7 meters, accommodates up to 70 crew members, and is capable of reaching a top speed of 21 knots. According to the MMEA, the OPV has an endurance of up to 21 days, and can operate in Force 7 conditions offshore.

The Damen 1800 variant is the first of a class of three new OPVs for the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency.

OPV1’s main armament is a 30mm Mk44 Bushmaster II cannon mounted in Aselsan’s SMASH remote-controlled weapons system. Other equipment and facilities include X and S-band radars, a helipad, and the ability to operate unmanned aerial vehicles. Additionally, it can carry up to two rigid hull inflatable boats and fast interceptor craft.

Troubled Waters The January 2 delivery of OPV1 ends a 16-month delay in the completion and delivery of the ship, with all three OPVs originally planned to have been delivered in 2020. Following the takeover of the shipbuilder by the Malaysian Ministry of Finance, delivery of OPV1 was retargeted for August 2022, but it would miss that and subsequent delivery dates set in March, July, November and December 2023.

While the Ministry of Finance announced a RM152.6 million capital injection into TH Heavy Engineering Berhad in January 2023 to ensure OPV1’s completion, the shipyard announced that it would be pursuing a voluntary winding-up in September 2023 due to mounting debts, placing the completion of the second and third OPVs in question.

Maritime Industry Predictions: What’s In Store for 2024?

2023 was the year of alternative fuels, updated regulations, and new fleet management solutions. But what do the industry experts predict for 2024?

The majority of developments in the maritime sector can all be linked to the main aim of decarbonization When asked to make maritime industry predictions for the coming year, the environmental impact of shipping is, for many, the most important theme in the maritime sector. Reducing the carbon footprint through new fuels, optimizing existing fuel efficiency, novel propulsion methods, or improving port operations are all core facets to reaching net zero.

So, what will the next year hold for the maritime sector, and what are the key themes to keep an eye on? We hear from several industry experts to learn their maritime industry predictions and what they think 2024 holds for the sector.

“Fuel producers and their investors will be closely watching the debate around potential IMO mid-term measures.”

“With the level of ambition from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) now clear, a renewed focus on maximizing the energy efficiency of the fleet will be required to meet its 2030 carbon intensity targets.

Improvements in fleet management will also continue to be an important trend, as the resilience of the supply chain and global logistic network continues to be questioned.

The digital transformation of shipping will also continue, as new marine platforms are developed and existing ones consolidated. Autonomous technology will no doubt also continue its development. But with these trends will also come a renewed importance on cybersecurity to protect both vessels and ports from cyber threats.

Meanwhile, the growing adoption of innovative propulsion improvements, optimized hull forms, air lubrication systems, and wind assistance technologies is set to boost technical efficiency.

“Widespread uptake of wind propulsion could also go some way to meeting the IMO’s targets to have 5%-10% of the fleet’s energy met by zero or near-zero GHG technologies, fuels, or energy sources by 2030. However, expectations are that significant quantities of fuel with very low lifecycle GHG emissions will be needed to achieve this.

“The proportion of alternative-fueled vessels in the newbuild orderbook suggests that the global fleet will have the capability of operating on these fuels before 2030, so the question is whether production will manage to scale to meet the demand.

“The next year or two will need to see more fuel projects reaching the final investment decision if these targets are to be met, given the development and construction timeline for major renewable energy generation and fuel production plants. Fuel producers and their investors will be closely watching the debate around potential IMO mid-term measures, which we can expect to heat up on the way to their planned adoption in 2025.

“Consideration of how to deliver the infrastructure – including the pipelines, terminals, ships, and port facilities – required to efficiently deliver these fuels to where they are needed will also need to start ramping up in the coming years. Systemwide changes in the fuel supply chain could generate new opportunities, so stakeholders should carefully consider the role they could play in the transition.”

“We must tackle our poor data standards head-on through real cross-industry collaboration.”

“2024 needs to be the year that our industry makes data standards its priority. So many of the challenges we’re facing in key areas such as costs and carbon can only be addressed if we have access to the right data at the right time.

“To enable this, we must first tackle the legacy of siloed, unstructured, and fragmented data in our industry. This starts right at the pre-fixture stage, where many important decisions are made that fundamentally shape vessel operations.

Peter Schroder, CEO, Sea

“While much of the chartering business has moved digital, it’s ultimately become fragmented, as our industry is behind the curve when it comes to setting industry-wide standards for how we collect, use, and share data in our chartering workflows.

“In an industry that transports a wide range of commodities with unique properties, it’s easy to see how this lack of standards among the muddle of spreadsheets, word documents, and emails creates inefficient workflows and causes costly mistakes. It also makes it difficult for charterers to make better decisions at the point of fixture, given the lack of robust information available.

“Looking at the bigger picture, this lack of standardized data on our operations holds us back from making progress in areas such as digitization and decarbonization. We can no longer afford business-as-usual thinking if we want to address critical industry challenges. We must tackle our poor data standards head-on through real cross-industry collaboration that transcends individual business models.”

“Embracing technology is now imperative for ship owners and operators.”

“Digitalization efforts of global shipping companies will continue in 2024 in a bid to make shipping operations more efficient and to realize cost benefits.

“Embracing technology is now imperative for ship owners and operators but it is important to onboard modern processes that use automation, machine learning, and cloud-based systems to take that digitalization journey to the next level. More shipping companies will embrace these forms of technology in 2024 as they continue to improve operational efficiencies and reap the rewards more effectively.

“In the procurement sector, we have witnessed first-hand how these modern systems have made the entire purchasing process a much more seamless process from shelf to ship. Software containing automation and machine learning allows buyers to access a wider selection of suppliers in more markets, enabling decision-makers to make more informed choices that save time and money and improve operations.

“Demand for services that provide these benefits will grow in 2024. Ship owners are realizing the benefit of using this technology and it is hoped that they can use machine learning in other areas of their operations to make things more streamlined.

“One key issue that will continue to be a factor in 2024, amid this trend of digitalization, is the quality of data that is being exchanged between all parties in the supply chain. Poor-quality data can often result in procurement managers overspending on parts or services that are not fit for purpose.

“High-quality data offers a better return on investment. While automation has its benefits, shipping companies need to be aware of the risks involved with utilizing data from third parties that can impact their bottom line.

MARITIME VOICE ASEAN | FEB-APR 2024

Grigoris Lamprou, CEO, Procureship

“Shipping companies must understand how to use this data effectively in 2024. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to using data so ship owners must identify what data is important to them when it comes to their metrics and KPIs, and focus on that data to ensure it is fit for purpose.”

“In 2024, geopolitics and natural disasters will also shape the fate of the ocean.”

“2023 has been challenging for the global transportation market. In H1 of 2024, global growth will continue to be sluggish, with signs of recovery in H2. However, this doesn’t mean the logistics transportation industry should expect ‘more of the same’. Societal and geopolitical upheavals – not to mention new technologies like generative AI – mean the sector is in constant flux “With existing overcapacity and many ships currently on order books, the ocean may experience more disruption than other freight modes in 2024, such as air, where spot rates are already recovering. As ships under construction come into operation, the current price war will likely continue.

“In 2024, geopolitics and natural disasters will also shape the fate of the ocean. The current Panama Canal drought and missile strikes by Houthi rebels in the Suez Canal – which are forcing vessels to reroute via Cape Horn – are just two examples of disruption lengthening transit times. From a regulatory perspective, the European Commission’s decision not to extend the legal framework exempting liner shipping consortia from antitrust rules will intensify upheaval as carriers adapt to a new environment.

“Lastly, the EU’s Emission Trading Scheme will take effect in January 2024, affecting all inbound, outbound, and transshipment vessel movements. Among other measures, it will tax inbound and outbound transshipments at 100% if the ports are within 300 miles of their origin or destination. This will encourage shipping carriers to choose transshipment ports outside the 300-mile zone.”

The Noble Tom Prosser recently completed drilling of PTTEP’s Lang Lebah-3 appraisal well, the second appraisal well on the company’s Lang Lebah sour gas field on Block SK 410B, also offshore Sarawak. The Lang Lebah-3 well, which was completed last week, was drilled with tight hole status.

PTTEP had earlier intended to take the final investment decision on Lang Lebah in 2023 but subsequently the company elected to drill a second appraisal well before sanctioning the project, which will include a carbon capture and storage scheme.

The operator last month signed two technical assistance agreements and a memorandum of understanding with Malaysian counterpart Petronas Carigali relating to its SK 405 B and SK 410B PSCs.

evacuation to the Bintulu Additional Gas Supply Facilities 2, as well as for the potential production and handling of Lang Lebah’s condensate at the Bintulu Integrated Facilities.

“This collaboration would enable both parties to drive progress by leveraging on Petronas Carigali’s expertise and technology through continued focus on cost optimisation and operational excellence to ensure supply security, particularly in Sarawak,” Petronas Carigali’s senior general manager of Sarawak asset, Anuar Ismail, commented at the time.

“We look forward to working together with PTTEP towards our common aspiration in growing Malaysia’s energy industry in the long run.”

The MoU covers the scope of potential evacuation of production from Block SK 405B through Petronas Carigali’s existing D35/D21/J4 PSC facilities, Post 1976 Balingian PSC facilities and the Bintulu Crude Oil Terminal.

The first TAA covers the study and design works to exploit the Block SK 405B fields via the same Petronas Carigali-operated facilities.

Meanwhile, the second TAA is for the assistance of engineering design for the potential construction, tie-in works, pipeline and cable crossings of Block SK 410B for Lang Lebah’s gas
