 SOUTH MUMBAI TRIP

When I was approached by the Hello MOLMI group to do a write up on the South Mumbai trip during MOL By: Purba Ghosh
Safety Conference, I thought what other way was better than to start by sharing the views of some of my friends W/o CE Santanu Ghosh
who were with me on this trip.

“An awesome initiative by the

company which not only gave us a
chance to see Mumbai but also to
make new friends! Highly
enriching!”
Sonali Chattopadhyaya
W/o CE Dipankar Chattopadhyaya

“South Mumbai trip organized by MOLMI was a memorable experience for me. Made some new friends
and shared some unforgettable memories with them on the tour. I had visited Mumbai many times in the
past but never had a chance to take a tour of Mumbai. I would like to thank MOLMI for organizing the
trip.”

Renu Kumari Singh

W/o 1AE Ritesh Kumar Singh

For those of you who are wondering what is this South Mumbai trip. This trip was arranged by MOLMI for the wives of the officers,
whose husbands were attending the MOL Safety conference which was of course taking place in Mumbai.
As the name suggests this tour was meant to show us the main attractions of South Mumbai. Our tour took us across Mumbai thru
busy roads…amidst skyscrapers…across flyovers...the occasional glimpse of the Arabian sea which was so quintessentially Mumbai.
We visited The Gateway of India, The Hanging Gardens, The magnificent temples of Siddhi Vinayak &, Mahalaxmi amongst other
places. Along the way we could view some important sites like the Wankhede Stadium, The Dargah of Haji Ali and a drive thru the
magnificent Bandra–Worli Sea Link. There are a million of things to do and see in Mumbai but for us, we accomplished a lot in
whatever little time we had.
The fact that all of us bonded so well made it a day full of fun and laughter. There was a good deal of leg pulling and photo sessions. Our
conversations ranged from art, culture, to cooking, children's education and gave us an insight into each other's lives.
It was only later that I realized that we all took to each other so well because we seem to be sailing in the same “ship”( may I be excused
for twisting the saying).The sumptuous lunch box provided by the hotel also provided the necessary excitement.
In all, it was a day well spent in company of new friends and we are sure the memories will stay with us for a long time.

 SEAFARER SPEAK
Capt Gaurav Choudhary

A bit about yourself and how and when did you join up the seafaring profession
Coming from a family whose last 2 generations have served the Indian Army, I chose to tread on a different path defying the family
tradition. I have spent the last 22 years at sea captivated by the mysteries of the deep, longing for adventure & foreign travel.
Looking back, I would say the journey has been nothing short of exhilarating, adventurous & rewarding.
What are your views about seafaring profession?
Shipping is an ideal occupation for young people seeking something exciting and different to just working in an office. Ships'
officers hold internationally recognized qualifications meeting standards, so most officers are qualified to work for the various
national/ international shipping companies located all around the world. Qualifications and experience gained at sea are also
readily transferable to other industries outside merchant shipping. A ship is a unique working environment, and those working on
board ship often develop lasting friendships with their colleagues and have a stimulating life which is different to the experience of
many people working ashore. Seafarers commonly enjoy generous leave or holiday periods. So while seafarers may sometimes be
away from home for extended periods, they also enjoy the benefits when they come home. Seafarers have the chance to experience
interesting and unusual places, rather than just the typical business or holiday destinations visited by many people. There is a great
need for more qualified ships' officers to meet the skills required by international shipping companies. There is a massive shortage
predicted, therefore the demand for good & well qualified people will increase.
You as a seafarer would you recommend new generation to take up seafaring as their career?
Shipping carries more than 90% of world trade, without which half the world would starve and the other half would freeze. There is
a lot to being a seafarer, the challenges are immense. It is tough, lonely, arduous and demanding. While we can debate the list of
reasons to go to sea, what is certain is that there is pride in being a seafarer, and nothing should be able to take that away. A drive to
keep on learning and growing shapes seafarers. A seafarer needs to possess courage and boldness as the job requires stepping out of
the comfort zone – rather often. Seafarers work with varying cultures & nationalities and must be willing and able to adapt to
connect and work effectively. A seafarer needs to be able to respond fast and well to any situation. A good seafarer ought to possess a
good command of written and spoken English. Leadership is another valued trait as seafarers have to lead and solve problems. The
ability to thrive under pressure is the key. Beyond leadership, a seafarer needs to be a good team player. A collaborative spirit is vital
in order to work effectively on board a ship that consists of co-workers with various responsibilities and ranks.

Can you share some of your on board experiences or travel experiences?

I will never forget our 3 voyages to the Arctic. It is still fresh in my mind even though it happened many years ago. We had to call
two ports in North Canada where shipping lanes are open only 3 months in a year and covered with thick ice the rest of the time.
The ship had to pass between Greenland and Canada through the Hudson Strait to our destination – Nanisivik and Little
Cornwallis Islands. Our ship was in touch with the Canadian Coast Guard and an ice cutting tug would lead the way through the
thick ice. We had to negotiate numerous icebergs along the way (not to mention the seals resting on them and feasting on fish just a
few meters away from the vessel).We also spotted Polar bears in the wild. It was a very challenging and adventurous experience,
and best of all, we completed the 3 voyages safely.
What is your message to the aspiring seafarers as well as to the seafarers already in profession?
A seaworthy ship is one that is sufficiently manned. For a voyage to be successful, every member of the crew and the captain must
work in sync towards their goal. Teamwork is the priority on board. This is why every rank in the ship matters. It is also about being
qualified to do the job, through some kind of unified system of training and qualification, so seafaring with its STCW rules covers all
the requirements of a profession.
But being in a profession and acting “professionally” is not always so cut and dried – we look at what it means to really inject a
professionalism into the job, and of how that is viewed across the world.
Be the one who walks and talks straight .Seafarers accept the duties of the role and position and work hard to make things go right
and take responsibility if things go wrong. The master is accountable for all, and that is the ultimate accolade which comes with
being a professional. The core of being a professional is showing a basic foundation of competence. It takes time, effort and
commitment to remain at that standard and to even look above and beyond competence A true professional looks at the expectations
of the role and seeks out the skills, knowledge and training to be as good as they can be.
It is about how you project yourself, how you communicate and deal with people. Appropriate use of language, good verbal and
nonverbal interaction skills, eye contact, a friendly smile and genuine respect for those you work with are common traits of a
professional. Walk the walk and talk the talk – then you will be a good professional.
“Mentoring at sea” - your viewpoints
At the beginning of a cadet's seagoing career, teachers, Officer's of the vessels where cadets spend their initial sea time must
perform the role of mentors. At this initial stage, it is very important to cultivate a love of the sea and the seafaring profession, a

5
 continue...

sense of responsibility for behavior and actions, discipline, and a constant willingness to acquire professional knowledge. It is
also crucial to instill the concept of team work.
Once employed onboard ship, working officers should be mentored by the senior ship's officers. In this period, mentors should
concentrate on showing & sharing professional knowledge and skills, developing important individual working characteristics,
and improving professional efficiency. The mentors themselves should be highly qualified specialists, and have extensive
knowledge and experience in practical work. Mentoring, including sharing knowledge, skills and experience with junior officers,
must be provided at all stages of professional development, both during study and in the course of working on board. The
knowledge gained through experience, and then reflected upon, is a valuable resource that should be passed on. People should
train their successors, and in turn, understudy the people above them. Much has still to be taught (or experienced) on board to
supplement the foundation of knowledge obtained ashore.”Many factors have led to a reduction in the opportunities for on-the-
job experience, including changes in technology, faster promotions and reduced sea-time requirements between certificates of
competency. There are also many barriers to the easy transfer of experiential knowledge, including language and culture, and
there is the ever-present problem of pressure of work and lack of time. The role of mentoring in improving communications and
enhancing team-building, and hopefully leading to a reduction in accidents and incidents, is emphasised. One of the major aim is
to form a stable mental attitude and develop the ability to take safe decisions, while also developing professional skills and an
understanding of the human element. We can improve life at sea for today's seafarers, by sharing experiential knowledge for the
benefit of ourselves and those who will come after us.”
Interesting learning experiences in your formative years
Looking back, I was fortunate to have sailed with an excellent set of Officers & Crew from whom I've imbibed qualities like good
work ethics, teamwork, communication,integrity & safety.These features are the foundation of professionalism.I've also had the
good luck of having worked on different kinds of vessels like General cargo vessels, Bulk carriers, Container vessels, Oil tankers,
LPG & LNG Carriers which have broadened my horizon.
Thoughts on receiving MOL Presidential Award
It is an honor to receive the prestigious MOL Presidential Award. It was flattering to be sharing the roof with so many esteemed
maritime professionals.
I joined MOL in Dec 2006 for the LNG induction course & since then there's been no looking back. I feel privileged to be working
for an organization of such repute.
I urge my colleagues to work towards making MOL a world leader in Safety of Navigation & Safe Ship Operation. To be able to
accomplish that we need to work together as a Team with clear lines of Flawless navigation, communication, Motivation &
Training. Let's roll up our sleeves and continue this journey with more dedication & commitment than ever.
I am grateful to all the amazing people whose support is the reason I am up here right now. I would like to thank my fellow
Seafarers, MOL, OSMC & last but not the least, my family who have made this possible.
Any challenges faced at the time of family joining
None at all. MOLMI has been very cooperative whenever family joining request has been made.
Your views about “working with MOL”
MOL maintains safe operation with advanced transport technologies and skilled personnel. The Safety Management System
covers all activities from ship management to practical operation, including procedures such as loading and discharging. The
crew training centers focus on human resource development and training with programs that meet seafarer competency
standards advocated by the Society of International Gas Tanker & Terminal Operators (SIGTTO). MOL is committed to
providing safe, reliable LNG transport at a level accredited by international standards.
MOL Office and employees work together, take the lessons learned from incidents and develop measures while "forging ahead to
become the world leader in safe operation.”
MOL has a State of the Art SOSC which ensures safety in cooperation with captains. It grasps these risks in real time, confirming
that communications between vessels, ship management companies, marine technical teams, and personnel responsible for vessel
operation is clear and constant. The SOSC's motto is "Never let the captain get isolated," and its initiatives are built on that
premise. The SOSC is always ready to offer timely information and advice, and helps in preventing serious accidents before they
happen.
Might I add, MOL Office support to the Master & Seafarer's has always been fantastic.

 TENNIS ELBOW

What is Tennis Elbow?
Tennis elbow is an inflammation of the tendons that join
the muscles of the forearm on the outside of the elbow. It
often happens as a result of strenuous overuse of the
muscles and tendons of the forearm and around the elbow
joint.
Tennis elbow is also known as lateral elbow pain or lateral
epicondylitis. It is not necessarily related to tennis, but tennis
players can develop it, because it stems from excessive or
repetitive use.
If pain occurs when twisting the forearm, for example, when
turning a door handle, or when extending the forearm fully, this
can also can be tennis elbow.
Diagnosing tennis elbow
There is an easy test that a person can do at home to decide
whether they have tennis elbow.
This is to stand behind a chair, place the hands on top of the chair
back, with the palms down and the elbow straight, and to try to
lift the chair.
