𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 In late January our crew on the Nord Supreme came to the rescue of Florida resident Servon Thomas, in rough North Pacific waters some 90 miles off the coast of Baja California. Servon, 24, who is married and has four young children, had left his sailing boat in a kayak in an attempt to retrieve a pump that had been dropped by parachute by the US Coast Guard. The USCG lost sight of Servon, and as a nearby vessel, the Nord Supreme was asked to help. The Synergy crew managed to locate and rescue this brave kayaker, via the vessel’s starboard gangway and some 400 nm south of San Diego. But the water temperature was just 22 degrees and Servon was hypothermic. His vital signs were continually monitored on board, and in agreement with the USCG the Nord Supreme proceeded at full speed all the way to Long Beach, with Servon’s wife being kept fully informed via satellite about his health and wellbeing. Thankfully Servon has now made a complete recovery, and having thought that he might perish at sea he is extremely grateful to the Synergy crew. Well done to the crew of the Nord Supreme. Your actions almost certainly saved a life and everyone at Synergy is extremely proud of you.

𝗦𝗶𝘅-𝗮-𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 Right now, football grips much of the world, with many understandably captivated by a competition to find the best professional team on the planet, but other sports are widely followed and the amateur game hosts contests every bit as important to those involved. So it was on 26 November, when the Synergy team won the DNV MCC Mariners Cup, adding to its success in 2018 and 2019, the two previous occasions when this tournament has been held. A total of 24 teams from the maritime world took part, at the Singapore Badminton Hall, and just as for the World Cup there were group and then knockout stages. Synergy Marine Group topped its group, and then came through a quarter-final, a semi-final and an equally challenging final. It was a tremendous event, with some great matches. No individual player has yet scored a hat trick in the Qatar competition, and while, with three wins in a row, Synergy might proudly claim that here, the far greater reward is getting together with other companies and having a fun contest with them in this fine sport. Many congratulations to all who took part, and sincere thanks to the sponsors and organisers of a terrific gathering. The Synergy team, pictured here, are Umesh Iyengar, Gokul Gangadharan, Rajeev Pratap Singh, Shirish Sharma, Debashish Ghoshroy, and Ajay Chaudhary.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 Electro-Technical Officer, Vipin Kumar Soni on the ultra-large boxship “CAP SAN ARTEMISSIO” was one of the runners-up in the digitalisation section of our 2022 essay competition, immediately predicting supply and demand combining to accelerate the impact of new technology. Customers’ expectations will increase commensurately with the need for, and progressively wider availability of, more advanced means of transportation that will radically alter how cargoes are handled, vessels move and ports and terminals operate. After a summary of the rationale of digitalisation that is firmly rooted in logistics, data, security and communication, the article discusses three core but still developing applications - smart ships, autonomous vessels and smart ports - before outlining what stubbornly remains as slow and uneven progress in a maritime sector whose supply chain stakeholders must collaborate in arresting and reversing current underinvestment.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 We are delighted to announce that on 31 March Synergy Maritime Pvt Ltd took over the full technical management of the dual-fuel LPG vessel “MIRAI”, which can also carry ammonia and VCM. Owned by leading Japanese shipowners Kumiai Senpaku Co. Ltd, the “MIRAI” is the first medium-sized, fully refrigerated LPG vessel to have been designed and built in China, and was constructed at the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai under Synergy’s supervision. As project leader over more than 30 months, and in close liaison with owners, charterers and all other stakeholders, Synergy was involved in all design aspects and conducted the pre-contract specification review and the technical negotiations, plan approval, site supervision, delivery and gas trials. As pictured below, our Project Manager, New builds and Offshore Projects, Shirish Sharma, was honoured to be asked by Kumiai Senpaku Co. Ltd to attend the delivery and naming ceremony. “𝗠𝗜𝗥𝗔𝗜” means “𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲”, and in both design and name this newbuild exemplifies owners’ vision of green seas by digitised, intelligent and state-of-the-art shipping. Tommy Thomassen, our COO (Tankers), said “By tonnage, alternate-fuelled ships account for nearly half the global order book, and this project further proves that Synergy Marine Group is not just an asset manager - it is a technical thought partner for owners and can deliver integrated solutions which require cross-disciplinary skills.” Subodh Borse, Director, New Building and Offshore Projects, Synergy Marine Group, added “In the decarbonisation and digitisation spaces, we have been working on vessels like this for some time, as part of evolution and futuristic can-do. A newbuild like the “MIRAI” allows us to deploy a great many areas of expertise, and our ability to do that means we have been able to take on such a variety of technically challenging projects in the maritime and offshore sectors.” The “MIRAI” finished gas trials at Ulsan on 12 April is currently on her maiden voyage to the USA via the Panama Canal. Here's wishing Captain Sujeet Pandey, Chief Engineer Harsh Vardhan Chaudhary and the whole team on board fair winds and following seas.

𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 No matter how long you have been in our industry, the safe arrival of a laden tanker is ever a splendid sight, and somehow a maiden port call is extra special, as here with the Synergy-managed “C GENUINE”, with attending tugs as she makes her first arrival at Rotterdam.

𝐍𝐨 𝐏𝐏𝐄 𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐘𝐄 With physical duties done and all safe in the Day Room, Captain R.Ananth Fernando and his crew on the DAIWAN KALON brought in the New Year with a fancy dress competition, with much creativity and fun. As pictured, the winners were Oilers Bryan Gayares and Plaridel Relloso - respectively formidable Spider-Man opponent Venom and Spartan warrior-king Leonidas - together with DC Rencel Laserna as super-villain the Joker, and many others came close with well-known cartoon, film and other media characters, with 3E San Pedro Jetmar showing great improvisation with a kettle for a magic lamp. There was good cheer at this gathering, with Chief Cook Joffer De Asis proudly in his very own costume in having produced a sumptuous feast which was hugely enjoyed by all. Well done to all competitors and indeed to the whole company on board the DAIWAN KALON for giving 2022 such a send-off and 2023 such a welcome.

Sometimes one of the joys of a port call is the chance to give something back to the wider maritime community, and so it was on 26 April for Captain Turbureanu and his crew on the bulk carrier "CORA OLDENDORFF" when they had the pleasure of receiving 31 students from the nautical school in Brindisi (the Istituto Tecnico Economico e Tecnologico Carnaro-Marconi-Flacco-Belluzzi), together with tutors Stefania Catanzaro and Antonio Catanzaro. A plainly industrious, very happy and much enjoyed visit was organised in liaison with the Brindisi Port Maritime Advisor, and following safety familiarisation there were tours of the Engine Room, Deck and Bridge, with crew members describing the vessel and its equipment, and answering many interesting and also searching questions. Restorative fruit juice and snacks were then provided, and the students disembarked with many positives to ponder in relation to a possible career at sea.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 1 May is International Workers' Day, or Labour Day in some parts, the annual celebration of workers promoted by the international labour movement. The meaning, spirit and entire rationale of the day are all captured in this photo by OS Ace Alcantara Flores on the bulk carrier “AFRICAN SPOONBILL”. Together, just as they set out, a weary team trudges back in stained PPE after a long and tough shift of painting and other maintenance. Looking forward to a clean-up and some food and well-earned downtime, these four seafarers remind us all just what it is to make a living doing many hours of physical work, often with discomfort and sometimes with dangers to manage, and they and all alike will ever have the admiration, respect and support of everyone in the Synergy Marine Group.

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝟱 Today is the UN World Day for Safety and Health at Work, which Synergy is celebrating with a further reminder to its seafarers. The message is supported by various graphics and is readily adaptable to all circumstances, but its title does not suggest taking a break, in familiar film set fashion. Rather, it urges that all should engage their minds before they apply their hands - that they 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽, 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸, 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 (𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻) 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗲𝗱. Judging by the close attention, interaction and detailed note-taking at this pictured safety briefing on the Bridge of the "MATTERHORN EXPLORER", such a message is already well meshed within the Synergy managed fleet, but it is nevertheless one that cannot be issued too often. #worlddayforsafetyandhealthatwork #safetyculture #safetyatwork #maritime #shipsandshipping

𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 We are delighted to say that Synergy Marine Group has joined the ZEBOX community of what is now a score of industry leaders.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗔𝗖𝗡 - 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 Yesterday, at the midpoint of Hong Kong Maritime Week, in a keynote address as a Board member and Vice Chair of The Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) Captain Rajesh Unni gave his passionate 360 view on the scourge of corruption. He first set the global scene, where Covid and conflict are lessening dependency (though increasing sanctions and other legislation), source and supply chain pressures mean ever higher prices and lower economic growth and infamous failures have eroded trust in the corporate world. Unfairly, seafarers often bear the brunt, and deserve the full backing of a maritime industry, and a wider world, that must upscale transparency, responsibility and fair dealing. After a simple example of what the MACN can achieve, simply by standing behind seafarers, our CEO outlined four core means - awareness, new structures, an integrity culture and collaborative private/public partnerships - by which shipping can further combat corruption and therefore attract talented youngsters, who nowadays seek employers with a matching outlook on ethics, integrity and sustainability. The maritime world will be judged not by what it says, but by what it does.

Earlier this month Pantheon Tankers, one of the leading names in the wet trades, took delivery of the “SEA ALTUS”, the eighth in its new series of chemical tanker/Type III vessels, and it is with great pride that Synergy Group announces that it is now providing the technical management for all eight.

“Ship management is all about partnerships, and Pantheon is exactly the type of forward-looking shipping business, with quality vessels, that aligns perfectly with the Synergy-managed fleet” said Tommy Thomassen, COO (Tankers) Synergy Marine Group.

“Our crews and onshore technical teams are fully trained to operate Type III chemical tankers to the highest standards and in a manner that optimises vessel and fleet performance. They will provide exactly the sort of quality service that PANTHEON TANKERS MANAGEMENT LTD quite rightly expects."
