EVENTS, INCIDENTS & OPERATIONS
Last American Titanic Survivor Dies at 99
Lillian Gertrud Asplund, the last American survivor of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, has died,
a funeral home said Sunday. She was 99. Asplund, who was just 5 years old, lost her father and
three brothers — including a fraternal twin — when the "practically unsinkable" ship went down
in the North Atlantic after hitting an iceberg.
She died Saturday at her home in Shrewsbury, said Ronald E. Johnson, vice president of the
Nordgren Memorial Chapel in Worcester, Mass. "She went to sleep peacefully," he said.
Asplund's mother, Selma, and another brother, Felix, who was 3, also survived the Titanic
sinking in the early morning of April 15, 1912.
Asplund was the last Titanic survivor with actual memories of the
sinking, but she shunned publicity and rarely spoke about the
events.
At least two other survivors are living, but they were too young to
have memories of the disaster. Barbara Joyce West Dainton of
Truro, England, was 10 months old and Elizabeth Gladys "Millvina"
Dean of Southampton, England, was 2 months old.
The Asplund family had boarded the ship in Southampton,
England, as third-class passengers on their way back to Worcester
from their ancestral homeland, Sweden, where they had spent
several years.
Asplund's mother described the sinking in an interview with the Worcester Telegram & Gazette newspaper shortly after
she and her two children arrived in the city. Selma Asplund said the family went to the Titanic's upper deck after the
ship struck the iceberg. "I could see the icebergs for a great distance around ... It was cold and the little ones were
cuddling close to one another and trying to keep from under the feet of the many excited people ... My little girl, Lillie,
accompanied me, and my husband said 'Go ahead, we will get into one of the other boats.' He smiled as he said it."
Because they lost all of their possessions and money, the city of Worcester held a fundraiser and a benefit concert that
together brought in about $2,000 for the surviving Asplunds. Lillian Asplund never married and worked at secretarial
jobs in the Worcester area most of her life. She retired early to care for her mother, who was described as having
never gotten over the tragedy. Selma Asplund died on the 52nd anniversary of the sinking in 1964 at age 91. Felix
Asplund died on March 1, 1983, at age 73. A memorial service will be held Wednesday, Johnson said.
Cruise ship towed ashore as 700 escape fire
A cruise ship with more than 700 people on board was towed ashore after a fire in an engine room left it adrift in the
English Channel.
Hundreds of passengers were roused in their cabins when fire broke out early yesterday morning, only hours after the
Calypso sailed from Tilbury, Essex, on its way to St Peter Port in Guernsey.

Rescue services were scrambled, and
firefighters flew out to the ship as it drifted
about 20 miles off Beachy Head. Lifeboats
from Britain and France were sent to the
stricken liner. No casualties were reported,
but a coastguard spokesman said that a
team of paramedics was also flown by
helicopter to the ship.

"We think that some of the passengers might have had a pretty
traumatic time this morning," he said.
Many of the passengers were employees and guests of the Dutch travel
company Cruise Travel. Corry Broere, a spokeswoman for the firm, told
the BBC: "My family is on board and they phoned me, and of course
they had been frightened, but when they called me everything was
already very calm ... the fire was not [burning] for a long time."

Passengers and crew boarded the ship's lifeboats, but the fire was put out before a full evacuation was ordered. "They
smothered the engine room with CO2, which is normal procedure, and they have managed to extinguish the fire," said
an official in Dover, where the rescue was co-ordinated.
Joanne Groenenberg, of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, said rescuers decided it would be too risky to evacuate
the ship before it returned to dock in Southampton. "It is quite a dangerous environment to be at sea in a lifeboat, so
it was much safer to keep them on board," she said.
Calypso arrived at Southampton at 7.40pm. The Cyprus-registered ship was carrying 246 crew and 462 passengers,
among them 454 Dutch, one Briton and one American. The cause of the fire is still unknown. A spokesman for Louis
Cruise Line, which owns Calypso, said: "The passengers are disappointed that their cruise has been cut short by two
days but otherwise impressed by how smoothly the operation has been carried out."

Six fire investigators were lifted by helicopter on
to the 38-year-old vessel, in the first deployment
by the new Maritime Incident Response Group.
Launched last month, the unit is the UK's first
specialised fire and rescue service for incidents
at sea. Last night, 18 firefighters from East
Sussex Fire and Rescue Service were still on
board the ship, cooling the blaze area.

Calypso had 30 defects
A recent port state control inspection of a Louis Cruise Lines vessel at the centre of a fire drama this weekend found
30 deficiencies on the 39 years old vessel.
Page 5
10-05-2006
Safety inspectors from the UK and Spain spent three days examining The Calypso at Seville, just 11 days before the
fire and found many defects, including issues relating to fire safety and the propulsion machinery.
The 11,162-gt The Calypso (built 1967) suffered an engine room fire 20 miles off the UK south coast. Both propulsion
and lighting were lost during the early morning crisis and passengers were told to don lifejackets and board lifeboats,
that were swung out for evacuation of the ship.
The fire was however extinguished and the lifeboats
were not lowered, although The Calypso had to be
towed by the UK coastguard tug, Anglian
Monarch, to Southampton, where the passengers
were disembarked.
Left : Newsclippings reader Marius Esman and his
wife Gonny were onboard the The Calypso during
the incident, at the picture Gonny is seen mustered
on deck with the lifeboats ready to be launched.
The blaze was brought under control by
crewmembers, although 18 UK fire fighters were
airlifted to the stricken vessel. None of the 462
mostly Dutch passengers or the 246 crew members
were injured.
George Stathopoulos, managing director of Louis
Hellenic Cruises tells TradeWinds that an
investigation into the cause of the fire in the
starboard main engine casing is still underway and it
is not possible at this stage to indicate the extent of the damage, or whether The Calypso can go ahead with its next
cruise due to begin on 10 May.
Louis port captain, George Koumbenas, said the 30 deficiencies found at Seville were all relatively minor and had been
corrected by the time a further port state control inspection took place at the UK port of Tilbury the day before the
fire.
Koumbenas said Louis had requested an extensive port state control inspection by both the UK and Spain at Seville
and as a result got a very detailed examination of every aspect of the vessel.
Inspectors listed four deficiencies relating to fire safety, three related to propulsion and auxiliary machinery, three
relating to safety of navigation and eight relating to structural safety at Seville.
Koumbenas said there had been a clean sheet at the Tilbury inspection and none of the issues noted at Seville had any
bearing on the fire. The Calypso was acquired by Louis for $14m in 2000. The Cyprus flag vessel is classed by Lloyd’s
Register and has protection and indemnity cover from the West of England Club.
Spratly ship remains a phantom
THE military is still clueless on the identity of the vessel that attacked a Chinese fishing boat in the disputed reefs
known as the Spratlys.
The Chinese government believes that a “Philippine ship” could be behind the attack on Jinghai, a Chinese fishing
boat, more than a week ago. The attack killed four of its crewmen.
Page 6
10-05-2006
Col. Tristan Kison, military public information officer, said Saturday that the Western Command under Rear Adm. Tirso
Danga is looking into the attack.
A Chinese newspaper, the Southern Daily, reported that a “Philippine ship” could be behind the attack. It said the
attack occurred somewhere near the Philippine coast and that the rogue vessel looked like a “Filipino” ship.
The Spratlys comprises a number of islets. It is generally believed the area holds huge quantities of oil. It is therefore
understandable that, apart from the Philippines, a number of other countries, among them China, Malaysia and
Vietnam, claim all or parts of it.
Of these countries, China is apparently the most belligerent. Some years back, the Chinese Navy fired on and sank a
Vietnamese ship in the area disputed by both countries. All crewmen were killed.
The Philippines maintains a military presence in one of the larger islets, bringing settlers there. Militarily, like the other
claimants, it is no match to the Chinese. It is thus pursuing its claims through negotiation.
So far the military cannot make a definite statement on the identity of the ship. “We still don’t have an update,”
Tristan said.
Military officials said the ship could be a pirate boat. They did not explain why pirates would have the capability to fire
on a ship and why they would leave immediately after. There is no report of the fishing boat being boarded and its
crew robbed of any valuables.
The investigation, some observers note, is being conducted to mollify the Chinese.
13e open dag KNRM Hoek van Holland
trok veel belangstelling
Door : Ron Zegers KNRM Hoek van Holland
De Nationale Reddingbootdag die
op 6 mei voor de 13e keer werd
gehouden op alle 40 reddingstations
van de Koninklijke Nederlandse
Redding Maatschappij werd op
reddingstation Hoek van Holland
goed bezocht. Mede door het
rustige zonnige weer en
temperaturen van 25 graden waren
vele geïnteresseerden in het KNRM
materieel naar Hoek van Holland
gekomen.
De mensen namen ruim de
gelegenheid om vele vragen aan de
redders zelf te stellen en het
merendeel heeft genoten van een
vaartochtje met het nieuwste
paradeschip van de KNRM, de
Jeanine Parqui. Ieder die na de
vaartocht aan wal stapte was diep
onder de indruk van de prestaties en uitrusting van dit schip. De “oude” reddingboot Koningin Juliana (Hoek van
Holland van 1964 tot 1991) van het Havenmuseum heeft verspreid over de dag met ruim 250 belangstellenden een
vaartochtje gemaakt. De Jeanine Parqui heeft deze dag ruim 450 mensen met een vaartochtje mogen verblijden.

Donateurs kwamen echt bewust uit het hele land naar Hoek van Holland, toch hebben zich op deze dag 30 mensen
laten inschrijven als donateur van de KNRM, in 2005 waren dat er 20. De reddingwinkel heeft een omzet van 1.706
Euro mogen bedragen, 150 Euro minder dan in 2005. De actie “oud geld”, onder donateurs van de KNRM heeft een
bedrag opgeleverd van 7.216,60 gulden, dat is ruim 3280 Euro. Opmerkelijk was een enorme gift van duizenden
guldens papiergeld van 1 persoon en de vele zakjes met kwartjes, dubbeltjes en stuivers. Er werd ook nog voor 3 kilo
munten buitenlands geld gebracht uit alle uithoeken van de wereld.
De retourovertocht met de Stena Discovery, beschikbaar gesteld door Stena Line bv, is bestemd voor een nieuwe
donateur uit Hoek van Holland, en is door de voorzitter van plaatselijke commissie van de KNRM Hoek van Holland
Dhr. J.B. Troost getrokken als winnaar uit 140 deelnemers, dit waren er vorig jaar 90. Zowel de bezoekers, de
vrijwillige redders en zeker ook de vrouwen van de redders hebben een aangename dag achter de rug.

Warship Due Back in France after
Asbestos Row
A decommissioned, asbestos-laden French aircraft carrier is due to dock in a western French port in two weeks’ time
after being turned around en route to India because of a row over the hazard it posed.
Clemenceau, currently off the coast of Mauritania, is expected to arrive in the harbor of Brest between May 15 and
20, defense ministry spokesman Jean-Francois Bureau told reporters.
The aircraft carrier, which was decommissioned in 1997 after 36 years of service, was ordered back to France in
February by President Jacques Chirac after a high court blocked its transfer to an Indian shipbuilding yard over
pollution fears.
Environmental groups, which had accused France of trying to dump a dangerous rust bucket on the Third World,
welcomed the decision.
Nothing remains of the warship except its hull, which contains a large amount of asbestos — 45 tons, according to the
French government, and 500 to 1,000 tons according to a firm which helped with its initial decontamination.
Bureau said the ship may be moored for up to two years in Brest while it undergoes a series of studies ahead of its
dismantlement.

Russian, Japanese Border Guards Hold
Joint Maritime Exercise
Maritime border guards from Japan and Russia held a joint exercise May 4 in the Sea of Japan aimed at combating
terrorist attacks on shipping, the border guard office for Russia’s Primorsky region said.
”The aim of these exercises was to develop our cooperation in search and interception during attacks by terrorists on
shipping, freeing of hostages and providing aid to victims,” the office’s spokeswoman, Natalya Rondoleva, told AFP.
The exercise involved vessels and helicopters from the two countries, she said. Border officials from the two countries
were to meet in Vladivostok on Friday to plan their further cooperation.

Requests For Tender for $2 Billion Amphibious
Ships Released to Australian Industry
The Requests for Tender for the $2 billion large amphibious ships project have been released . The two ships, to be
named HMAS Canberra and Adelaide, are scheduled to enter service with the Royal Australian Navy from 2012.
This is a major milestone in the process that will lead to final project approval and ship builder and design selection
early next year. It comes after an intensive design development effort by Defence and the two competing designers, in
which the designs have been adapted to meet specific Australian legislative and regulatory requirements.
Two Australian companies - ADI and Tenix - will team with the designers to compete for the contract to supply the
ships. ADI will team with the French designer Armaris, and Tenix with the Spanish designer Navantia.
The Tenix-Navantia team will propose a variation of the Navantia 27,000 tonne design, while ADI-Armaris will propose
a variation of the Armaris 22,000-tonne Mistral class.
Both prospective designs offer a quantum leap over our current capability and satisfy Government's strategic guidance.
Selection of the preferred consortium to construct the ships will be determined on value for money grounds.
The tender documentation will allow bidding companies to:
-- Submit fixed price bids;
-- Bid through life support solutions, and;
-- Provide innovative solutions to improve price and schedule.
Australian industry stands to benefit considerably from this project of national significance.
Each ship will have the ability to transport up to 1000 personnel, have six helicopter landing spots and a provision for a
mix of troop lift and armed reconnaissance helicopters. It will also be able to transport up to 150 vehicles including the
new M1A1 Abrams tank and other elements of the Hardened and Networked Army.
Each ship will also be equipped with medical facilities, including two operating theatres and a hospital ward.
The project will allow the Australian Defence Force to perform a range of tasks, including regional disaster relief,
delivering humanitarian aid, support for peace operations, and assistance to policing or military operations.
This investment part of the Howard Government's commitment of $28.5 billion in increased spending on Defence
capability over the 10-year period to 2010, building on the 2000 White Paper commitment to increase Defence funding
by three per cent annually, in real terms, until 2010/11.
New Royal Australian Navy Patrol Boats
named "Maitland" and "Ararat"
The Naming Ceremony for the sixth and seventh Armidale Class Patrol Boats to be launched was held today at the
Austal shipyard in Henderson, Western Australia. Fourteen patrol boats in total are to be delivered to the Royal
Australian Navy. The 56 metre, all-aluminium monohull vessels were named “Maitland” by Mrs Jacqueline Rice,
daughter of ex crew member Mr Jack Breddin, and “Ararat” by Mrs Jennifer O’Malley, daughter of Lieutenant
Page 10
10-05-2006
Commander Norman Muzzell, Commanding Officer, HMAS Ararat.
The ceremony was attended by senior figures from the Royal Australian Navy, Department of Defence, Government
and industry including Senator David Johnston, as representative of the Minister for Defence and Chief of the Royal
Australian Navy, Vice Admiral Russ Shalders.
Speaking at the ceremony, Austal’s Executive Chairman, John Rothwell, marked the significant halfway point in the
delivery of the new patrol boats: “With a further seven patrol boats still to deliver it is pleasing to see that the on-time
delivery of these vessels is already making an impact in active service. The first, “HMAS Armidale”, has already been
involved in frontline search, rescue and interdiction operations in Australia’s northern waters reinforcing the benefits of
the Government’s decision to invest in the upgraded design and enhanced capabilities of the new Armidale Class patrol
boat fleet.”
Austal teamed with Defence Maritime Services (DMS), the Prime Contractor, to win in 2003 the A$553 million “output
specified” contract to provide and support through their service lives a fleet of patrol boats to replace the ageing
Fremantle Class, which have patrolled Australia’s maritime zones for the past quarter century. Austal is responsible for
the design and construction of the Armidale Class vessels. DMS is managing the overall project requirements, including
establishment of a fleet management organisation that will provide integrated maintenance, logistic and crew-training
support to the vessels throughout their operational lives.
The Chairman of Defence Maritime Services, Adrian Kloeden reinforced the successful partnership forged between
customer and contractor:
"I am happy to report the Armidale programme is on track, delivering six Armidales this year, including the two we
name today, with the remaining boats scheduled for on-time delivery in 2007. The success of the programme so far,
can be attributed largely to the innovative ‘performance-based contract’ developed by the Defence Materiel
Organisation. The concurrent naming of the two boats “Maitland” and “Ararat”, demonstrates the speed of delivery
being achieved by the shipbuilder Austal as part of this progressive Defence-Industry contract.”
To be based in the ports of Darwin and Cairns, the Armidale Class fleet will primarily operate within Australia’s Marine
Jurisdictional Zones carrying out surveillance, interception, investigation, apprehension and the escort to port of
vessels suspected of illegal fisheries, quarantine, customs or immigration offences. The ships will also be utilised to
protect our valuable offshore oil and gas installations.
The patrol boat “Maitland” is the first to take the name of the New South Wales town that provided war time Navy
support as a transit depot, port war signal station, port examination service, general security and convoy support.
The original HMAS Ararat was named after the Victorian regional centre and was one of sixty Australian
Minesweepers (commonly known as Corvettes). Commissioned on 16 June 1943, she became known by her crew as
“the Ark” because of Mount Ararat’s association with Noah’s Ark which was displayed on her crest. HMAS Ararat served
mainly on patrol and escort duties in New Guinea, with occasional bombardments on enemy held positions and post
war she cleared minefields. She steamed a total of 109,000 miles before eventually being sold. In 1961 HMAS Ararat
towed a floating crane to Japan and was later broken up in that country.
Coast Guard Secures Japanese Naval Vessels
The Coast Guard Maritime Safety and Security Team (MSST) Anchorage is providing waterside and shoreside security
for the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force vessels moored at the Port of Anchorage this week.
The three Japanese vessels departed Homer Tuesday morning and three MSST small boats escorted them from Fire
Island to the Port of Anchorage. They arrived just before 9 a.m.
The MSST will be providing round the clock security for the vessels until they depart Friday. The three Japanese
Maritime Self Defense Force vessels are the 470-foot flagship Kashima, the 450-foot Amagiri and the 450-foot
Page 11

Yamagiri. The vessels are a training squadron manned by newley graduate midshipmen. They are on a five month
goodwill and training cruise. Anchorage is their first port call.
Rear Adm. Takanobu Sasaki is commanding the trianing squadron. He and his officials will call on various military and
elected officials this week. The crews of the ships will take part in sports events, cultural exchanges and participate in
a concert at the Performing Arts Center on Thursday.

Nieuwe KW 145 Catharina in IJmuiden
Door : Jack van der Valk – Velsen Zuid (c)
Afgelopen zaterdagmiddag liep de nieuw gebouwde kotter Catharina voor ’t eerst de IJmuidense vissershaven binnen.
IJmuiden is niet de thuishaven, want de KW 145 is ingeschreven in Katwijk en dat is dus officieel haar thuishaven.
Donderdag 27 april kwam de KW 145 aan bij het Straal- en Schilderwerken Teerenstra B.V. in Den Helder. De nieuwe
kotter is bij dat bedrijf gestraald en daar in de gewenste rederijkleuren van de Vof N. van der Plas & Zoon uit Katwijk
gezet. Doordat de firma Teerenstra de kotter in een dichte loods behandeld en dus geen hinder heeft van het vochtige
weer, kon de kotter afgelopen zaterdagmorgen de loods reeds verlaten en zette daarna gelijk koers naar IJmuiden.
De KW 145 Catharina liep afgelopen zaterdagmiddag voor ’t eerst de haven IJmuiden binnen
Foto: F. Aalderink (c)
Hier zal de kotter verder worden uitgerust voor de boomkorvisserij. Doordat de kotter te veel diepgang heeft voor de
haven van Urk en ondieptes in het IJssselmeer, worden de vislijnen, zware visserijuitrusting en stookolie en water pas
nu aan boord gedaan. Dit is om de diepgang, tijdens de vaart naar Kornwerderzand zo min mogelijk te laten zijn.
Van deze kotter, ontwikkeld door het Scheepsbouwkundigbureau Herman Jansen B.V. uit Monnickendam en Hoekman
Shipbuilding B.V. uit Urk, werd de bouw van het casco uitbesteed aan een scheepswerf in het Poolse Gdansk. Na een
moeilijk verlopen sleepreis arriveerde de toekomstige KW 145 op 5 januari dit jaar in Urk aan de afbouwkade van
Page 14

Hoekman Shipbuilding B.V. In grote lijnen lijkt de 41,20 meter lange en 9 meter brede kotter op de laatste nieuwbouw
kotter Elisabeth Christina TX 19, die de Firma Hoekman eerder afleverde aan de familie Krijnen op Texel, maar is
alleen drie spanten korter.
Ook de indeling van accommodaties, nettenruim, enzovoort is ook anders. Door de ontwikkeling van de olieprijzen op
de wereldmarkt, besloot reder N. van der Plas de hoofdmotor, een Wärtsilä 26 motor van 1471 pk (2000 pk), te laten
inrichten voor het varen op zware olie. De nieuwe kotter is verder uitgerust met twee Mitsubishi hulpmotoren van 325
pk en één van 110 pk. Het is de bedoeling dat deze nieuwe kotter morgen haar technische proefvaart gaat maken. De
officiële overdracht is gepland op aanstaande zaterdag. Na het weekend zal deze nieuwe kotter KW 145 naar de
visgronden vertrekken en is een dan belangrijke aanwinst van de IJmuidense visafslag.
Traffic of seagoing ships resumed
The traffic of maritime vessels along the Danube was resumed on Saturday, after a three-week halt ordered on April
14.
According to director of the Galati Lower Danube River Administration Mihai Ochialbescu, the decision was reached
following the improvement of the hydrological conditions. In order to prevent potential problems, the navigation will be
allowed exclusively by daytime and fast and high-speed hydrofoil watercraft is further banned from traffic.
A speed restriction also continues to stay in force, with the vessels required to keep below the wave-producing speed
and observe a distance of at least 5 miles from one another

KLM en Boeing in onderhandeling over
777-300ER's
De KLM en Boeing onderhandelen over de conversie van 777-200ER-orders naar 777-300ER’s. Op de Boeing-site wordt
zelfs al gemeld dat KLM al drie firm orders voor drie van deze long-haul toestellen zou hebben geplaatst, maar dit blijkt
op een misverstand te berusten, “Er zijn bij mijn weten nog geen definitieve contracten getekend”, aldus een
woordvoerster.
KLM heeft bij het plaatsen van de order voor 777-200ER's de optie bedongen om indien gewenst de order om te
zetten in -300ER’s. Het valt te verwachten dat de orderconversie binnenkort officieel bekend wordt gemaakt.
De lange -300ER (bijna 74 meter) heeft een maximum vliegbereik van 14.495 kilometer - tegen 14.316 kilometer voor
