The new classrooms have been completed and the school is expected to have all the necessary governmental SeaTeam donations to the needy certifications shortly. Precious Heritage Ministries mission is ‘Giving Children A Brighter Hope and Future’. So far, all the children are in good health and safe with the guidance of our loving house parents and staff. This summer we were able to improve some of the facilities. Our children’s playground is now covered with fences and roof and the children can now use it even during rainy days. Our SeaTeam Management Precious Heritage children assemble for school Social Workers’ office was also renovated and improved. PHCS children are studying in our very own formal school while 3 of them are taking College courses in Manila and 4 toddlers stay at home. Precious Heritage Christian School welcomed the academic year 2016-2017 last June 20, 2016. This year we accommodate 250 students from NKP up to Grade 10. We thank God for the smooth start of classes from different levels. This year, we are very grateful for the new 2nd storey High School building that we constructed and completed before the start of the academic classes. We thank the Lord for our partners in the Ministry who made this project a success and reality. A day after the opening of classes, the monitoring team from Department of Education made a surprise visit to PHCS and was greatly amazed of the significant improvement done with the facilities. Because of this, they are planning to hold some of their training/seminars at PHCS. Precious Heritage girls looking happy and healthy TEAM TELEGRAPH 3 SeaTeam Management Putting the “H” in HSQE by Weston Fitzgerald, Senior Manager HSQE Team Front Cecilie staying Ship Shape Team Front Cecilie makes time for exercise in maintaining a healthy lifestyle onboard. The goals of achieving fitness for life begins with regular exercise and healthy eating. Keep it fun with team sports, gym competitions, and goal oriented exercise programs, such a most significant BMI reduction and keep the catering staff involved in planning meals that provide balanced nutrition to support the hard work. And don’t forget to stay well hydrated by limiting coffee and tea intake in favor of water when thirsty to achieve sufficient daily intake. W hen it comes to safety and health, the predominant emphasis seems to always be on the safety aspects of the work place. And this prioritization is somewhat understandable; protecting our people from harm is our highest priority. Occupational health from hazards in the workplace, such as chemical exposures, or excessive noise are afforded sufficient protective measures in HSQE Procedures and Best Practices, but is the company responsible to protect our nonoccupational health? Front Cecilie C/E Ramesh engages wide grip Lat Pull-Downs on the multi station to activate the latissimus dorsi, biceps and shoulders Pumpman Perumal demonstrates machine concentration curls to turn the biceps into “big guns” The truth is, a healthily lifestyle comes from within. Although the company has a vested interest in promoting the health and well being of our staff, unlike other HSQE requirements, decisions to eat right, exercise, and cut down on unhealthy habits is not something that can be made mandatory. Each individual however does possess the ability to influence their long term personal by consistently making healthy choices a way of life. The world average life expectancy in 2010 was 67 years old, and for some that age is not too many voyages ahead. So if you feel life is short and you would like to extend your contract to spend a few more precious years with your family, you may want to make a commitment to address those factors that will most likely result in early termination. An individual’s life expectancy can change dramatically depending upon our ability to manage genetic risks (those diseases that our parents, grandparents or brothers and sisters have been stricken by), drug use, tobacco smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, diet and exercise. 4 TEAM TELEGRAPH SeaTeam Management A healthy lifestyle must include a balanced diet SeaTeam cares about its employees and is committed to helping our staff maintain a healthy for secure long-term employment. Employees are therefore encouraged to assess their individual risks based upon the known factors that affect the likelihood of a serious non-occupational disease such as Diabetes, Cancer, Heart Disease or Stroke. Staff may visit the website: www.yourdiseaserisk. wustl.edu to ascertain individual risks and obtain advice regarding life style strategies that will reduce the likelihood of adverse health as we grow older.

Culture Sleep/Fatigue A culture is affected by the people that are part of it and by those that observe it. In this world of excessive work load and inconceivable dead lines, the stress levels related to work have become totally unperceivable. Prolonged stress leads to mental and physical fatigue, seizing vitality and vigor from the body. So what is a safety culture? A safety culture consists of, The common values, work routines (habits) and attitudes at work place. The culture is the environment that shapes these values, attitudes, etc., and which affects the way we behave. An organization’s safety culture is the result of a number of factors such as: •The standards, attitudes and assumptions of management and employees •Values, myths and history •Policies and procedures •The manager’s priorities, responsibilities and reliability •Production and bottom line pressures on quality •Action (or lack of action) when it comes to changing unsafe behavior. •Crew training and motivation •Crew involvement and acceptance. The commitment of employers and employees are the stamp of the optimum safety culture. Hence safety culture of an organization can be defined as the product of individual and group values, attitudes, competencies and patterns of behavior that determine the commitment to, and the style and proficiency of an organization’s health and safety programs. It is a totally different environment on ship, where factors resulting to stress are more and the ways to tackle them are less. Symptoms Fatigue leads to reduction in productivity and presence of mind, causing fatal accidents and injuries. It is better to read the early signs of fatigue by identifying the following symptoms. •Fatigue leads to frequent yawning and sleepiness, forcing the person to doze off. •Loss of concentration •Lack of interest in work •Drowsy and heavy reddish eyes •Lack of synchronization between body and mind •Diminishing Cognitive ability •Unable to grasp, act and respond. The best way to handle fatigue is to plan, prioritize, and delegate the work to be done. Part 2 of Cadet Negi’s article on MCRM will be continued in the next issue of the Team Telegraph. TEAM TELEGRAPH 7 SeaTeam Management SeaTeam Management visit to Prisco Offices in Nakhodka, Russia by Simona Toma and Capt. Sudheer Chikkala Prisco Establishment in Nakhodka, Russia O n the 27th of June 2016, after a long bumpy flight ride (one from Incheon to Vladivostock was really bumpy), we landed in the Pacific port city of Vladivostok, on the north eastern shores of the largest nation in the world, Russia which borders European and Asian countries as well as Arctic and Pacific oceans. Interesting fact, Vladivostok is part of the Trans-Siberian railway which links Moscow to the Russian Far East running over 9289 kms in length, the longest railway line in the world. Upon arrival we were greeted by our host Capt. Viktor Veremeenko, Prisco Personnel Department Director, who drove us from Vladivostok to Nakhodka and was kind enough to familiarize us with the historical and cultural significance of Vladivostok and Nakhodka which was as vast as the landscape. The following day started with a brief tour of the Prisco facility, which included their Fleet Personnel department, Training center and introduction to Prisco staff. 8 TEAM TELEGRAPH This was followed by a detailed introduction and discussion on SeaTeam Company requirements and phased implementation of trainings for Russian seafarers hired by SeaTeam through Prisco. Various SeaTeam softwares were installed on laptops provided by SeaTeam for familiarization and use by trainers/trainees in Prisco’s training centre. It was a privilege to witness Prisco’s inhouse Bridge and Engine simulators for training of deck officers and engineers. Together with the management team in the training center, we had discussed the resources available for good quality training and how we can tailor-make the trainings provided so that they meet SeaTeam company specific requirement. The following two days, QS Coach Capt. Sudheer and Systems Manager Joey, conducted training and induction on SeaTeam Ship Management System, Shipnet, Work Rest Hours Software, JSA Builder, Quality Safety Campaign for Prisco Trainers and sea staff. Various queries from the attending sea staff regarding company procedures were clarified during the training session. During the course of the training, we also had a chance to interact personally with seafarers, understanding their SeaTeam Management and CBT trainings were provided to Prisco Training and crewing department and it was mutually agreed to implement same in a phased manner. The visit was also an opportunity to meet the crewing team and the colleagues that work closely with us, in SeaTeam. We had spent ample time with the Crewing Manager Capt. Alexey Mikhlchenko and Crew Recruitment Officer Elena Golacheva. We discussed daily operation processing of crewing tasks; recruitment and deployment of sea staff for SeaTeam Management Pte Ltd; training needs and compliance; attrition initiatives. Capt. Sudheer Chikkala conducting the SeaTeam Induction in Prisco Training Center needs and aspirations. Two of our active SeaTeam Captains, Capt. Evgeny Koryakin and Capt. Pavel Kachura, were also invited for the training sessions and to share their personal experience onboard our Ice Class Tanker Vessels. Post training session an in depth appraisal of SeaTeam Training matrix including internal, external Our meetings with Capt. Viktor Veremenko walked us through local requirements and compliance with Russian specific regulations for seafarers, compliance with international regulations, current status of our good collaboration as well as, how do we take it to the next level. Improvement ideas discussed involve both parties and will be worked upon in the months to come. It was a hectic schedule for only three days spent in Nakhodka and it was made easy through the cooperation of our hosts. We are thoroughly honored by their friendship and alliance and looking forward to their continued support! Prisco Personnel Department Bottom row, from left to right: Capt.

Somasunder Gollakota Team Front Jaguar M/T Front Jaguar, the 4th vessel in the Ice Class series was delivered on the 17 th June 2016 from Zhoushan, China. The vessel was delivered under the command of Capt. Sergey Chekalin with Russian officers and Filipino ratings. T he word “Project” is something we are all familiar with from the time we were children – school projects, science projects etc. “Project” means a piece of planned work or an activity that is finished over a period of time and intended to achieve a particular purpose. While building a ship is a project, taking over a new ship from the ship building yard is in itself a “Project”. In simple we call it a “Yard Delivery”. STAKEHOLDERS: A Brief Outline Of Various Stake Holders SeaTeam Technical/ Operations Classification Society/Suppliers/ Ship Chandlers/ Agencies Vessel On Board Team Frontline Projects Shipyard A ship building project involves various stake holders who are crucial to the successful delivery of the vessel. The most important of all the stake holders is the onboard team of officers and the crew. The delivery team sets the tone for all the future teams 10 TEAM TELEGRAPH As a QS coach, I attend vessels regularly but most of the times these are vessels which are operational, with systems and processes in place, have officers and crew who are familiar with the company’s procedures. However, to attend a vessel which is completely new, raw and with completely new crew was a challenging yet a wonderful learning experience. Here I must appreciate and credit the Team Jaguar for the wonderful support, breaking cultural, communication and power barriers towards the final outcome of a safe delivery of the vessel. We always talk about planning, prioritization and delegation of tasks and this is where it mattered the most. To start from level zero, with an extremely tight lead time (48 hours) to load port and to align with HSQE aspiration of zero tolerance to injury, property damage, pollution was challenges of all challenges. But through constant engagement with the on board senior management in planning, prioritizing, delegating and effective communication of the expectation to the officers and crew helped in arriving at the load port fully prepared for loading. The vessel safely loaded at Ulsan, Korea on the 23rd June 2016 and set sail to the discharge port. SeaTeam Management Farewell to Abdul and Evgeny Abdul expressing his farewell to the team SeaTeam staff enjoying lunch while saying farewell to Abdul SeaTeam said goodbye to two of its superintendents in July 2016.

She had her lunch of sumptuous Filipino foods with Capt. Ronaldo Maniego, CE Artemio Fernandez Jr. and Ms. Janet B. Cabañas. Maximizing her stay, she then visited accredited training providers nearby the office. We first have her tour Center for Knowledge and Advance Training, Inc. (Ckat) where we send most of our Russian seafarers to undergo ECDIS Type-Specific JRC training. Second on our list was the Navigator International Maritime Training and Assessment Center where CO Aucello took his JRC JAN 9201 training. This training provider also offers various company required training. They welcomed Ms. Elena warmly. As a matter of fact, they introduced the whole staff of the training center to her. Elena with Capt. Maniego and Janet B. Cabañas L Navigator celebrated recently its 1st year anniversary and gladly toured Ms. Elena to all of its training facilities. She felt like a true navigator when she tried her hands on the Transas Simulator with Capt. Lazarte explaining all the features and capabilities. It was a positive and fulfilling experience for both Navigator and our Russian colleague, Elena. ast 22nd of July 2016, the Prisco Crew Recruiting Officer, Ms. Elena Golacheva, arrived around 0010h in Manila to facilitate delivery of the original Marshall Islands documents of officers and crew of MT Front Leopard required in preparation for the upcoming Port State Inspection of the vessel. Australian Chief Officer, Michael Aucello, who was then undergoing training in JRC JAN 9201/7201 course at Navigator International Training and Assessment Center located at Roxas Boulevard, Manila will then hand carry the said documents upon his joining. First time in the Philippines, she was delighted to see historic places such as the Luneta Park and Manila Zoo. She also enjoyed herself at the SM Mall of Asia which is the 10th biggest Mall in Asia, where she bought a lot of presents for her two daughters and colleagues in Russia. On her 3rd day, she visited Manila Office to familiarize herself about office procedures and Shipmate usage with the help of SeaTeam Manila crewing Elena takes the helm in the simulator 12 TEAM TELEGRAPH SeaTeam Management Ms. Elena with the General Manager and President of Navigator Navigator staffs explain possibilities Four days in Manila I am a crew recruiting officer in PRISCO (Russia). This summer I had a great opportunity to visit SeaTeam office in Philippines. It was my first visit to this wonderful country with its unique nature, hot climate, downpours where there are only two seasons per year. I have spent there four neverto-be-forgotten days. In the airport, Manila met me with a great number of night time illumination, heavy traffic and welcoming people. While weekends when the office was closed, two SeaTeam cadets escorted me around the city. We watched changing of the guard in Rizal Park, walked along Manila Bay, visited Manila Zoo and occasionally happened to see a show in the Robinsons Place Mall with a participation of the famous movie stars. Nevertheless business before pleasure. Monday was started with the visit to the SeaTeam office at 8:30am. Ms. Janet B. Cabañas greeted me warmly at her working place. Though her heavy workload, she got me acquainted with the staff personally, told me in details the area of responsibility of each person, shared very important intelligence which I hope would help us in future easier intercommunication. Thank you very much Ms. Janet for your assistance! I want to show my special gratitude to Capt. Ronaldo Maniego who organized my comfortable and useful communication. We exchanged with our experience concerning the officers recruitment, their fit and proper tests and many other things required by the company. I also was involved in an exciting share time with Chief Engineer Artemio Fernandez. My appreciation and respect to Mr. Artemio! After one hour break I, under the guidance of Ms. Shamita Anne Estrada, familiarized with several different Training Centers (TC) such as Navigator, an International Maritime Training and Assessment Center in Building 1500 Roxas Boulevard and Compass, the competent maritime professionals and sea staff TC in Taft Avenue which offer various qualified maritime training and assessment to the seafarers from all over the world. There we had a constructive talk about their possibilities, missions and visions, the way of their providing maritime training and supporting of the seafarers during their study. The conversation managed to be cognitive and educational. It was very important for me to see the process itself how it was from the inner side. My next and the last day I spent again in the SeaTeam office, we discussed the way of working with Shipmate and some particularities of that program with Ms. Mary Jane. Then we gave consideration of special aspects and the way of improvement of our teamwork with Ms. Catherine Raganit. In conclusion I would like to say that I am very satisfied with that trip. It gave me high motivation to make all efforts to keep our longtime partnership. I hope visits between our offices will be organized on regular basis to become closer to each other. Thank you very much for your assistance. Hope to see you soon once again. With best wishes. Yours, Elena. TEAM TELEGRAPH 13 SeaTeam Management Sea Monterrey Best Practices by Capt. Virgilio B.

The courageous men of MV Sea Monterrey climbed and painted the funnel. Tool box meeting was conducted to plan about the work, risk assessment was discussed and dangerous work permit (working aloft) was issued to ensure workers are briefed on dangers of hazardous work. Proper Personal Protective Equipment was used and good communication was also established. Safety is the top most priority in this work. In avoidance of slips, trips and falls, the crew was aware and continuously utilized to prevent incidents from happening. Communication with the bridge was also observed, 3-point climbing techniques was also understood. Four men climbed the funnel, our three ABs with leadership of our Boatswain, under the supervision of Chief Officer and assistance of two Deck Trainees and Deck Cadet below, we started the painting of the funnel and finished safely with a job well done! which is more presentable and eye catching. It is used to ensure that these PPEs are properly secured, maintained clean for visitor’s use when coming onboard the vessel. Every small act of safety has a big impact to our day-to-day operation. After conducting our monthly safety meeting, the crew of MV Sea Monterrey decided to take a quick photo snap. ABILITY is what you are capable of doing. MOTIVATION determines what you do. ATTITUDE determines how well you do. Big smiles from the hardworking crew of MV Sea Monterrey! Safety rules have always been our best tools! On board MV Sea Monterrey, safety practices are always observed. The crew make every effort to ensure that safety of everyone on board is maintained, even for the visitors.

Dominador F. Maranan As part of the team servicing the day-to-day operations of the ship, our cadets assist and understudy the ship’s officers on their duties. We enter to a training programme that lasts for a year, a large part of which will be spent onboard receiving structured training and building up experience. Supplemented by shore-based learning, under the supervision of officers, becoming a cadet is the first step to reaching an officer ranking onboard. Becoming a cadet is the first move towards a rewarding career in the all important department of a merchant ship. With perseverance, hard work and diligence, everything is possible when you focus on possibilities, you will have more opportunities. There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, there are no limits! Enclosed Space Rescue Drill The aim of this drill is to ensure effective procedures and measures are in place to safeguard seafarers on board MV Sea Monterrey when entering the working in enclosed spaces and to check compliance with the applicable requirements of the SOLAS Convention as well as recommendation of COSWP and Company SMS while practicing good seamanship.
