Duty of care
This is another tragic incident ( death of Capt. Ansari ) that
reminds us about our lack of appreciation of basic safety. I am deeply shocked
to know about the whole incident. How many more of this type of tragedy will
change our way of thinking about safety. I am sorry to say but I know and many
of you will also agree with me that in our shipping culture right from the top
to the bottom neglecting safety and taking unnecessary risk is deeply rooted.
From my experience with BSC and other private shipping companies I can say we
often laugh at some one if he is a bit conscious about safety. Taking dangerous
risk to get a job done with out thinking about the basic safety is often
encouraged in our daily ship's life. If we do not change the basic culture of
our shipping industry these tragedies will continue. "Duty of care" concept from
OH&S acts around the world can definitely help to improve the situation but with
so many other basic problems that will will be too much to ask for.

Capt Ansari's premature death.
It's unbelievably shocking to loose life in this way. I am deeply shocked to see
this news. My heart goes to the family and friends of the deceased. May Allah (SWT)
give his family courage to bear this irreplaceable loss. I pray for the departed
soul to be in peace. IMPORTANCE of wearing LIFEJACKET and other PPE based on
risk assessment could have saved this soul from facing such an undesirable
consequences. And it should be a lesson to learn and remember for all those who
are engaged in seafaring business.

How long?
Death of Capt. Ansari and others very shocking indeed. I feel very deeply for
those who have lost their lives and for their families. But for how long we will
continue to lose our friends and collegues rather unnecessarily. So many
valuable lives have been lost at the Chittagong Outer Anchorage just by ignoring
the very basic safety precautions and that is also by those seasoned and senior
mariners. I think this website can take a pioneer step to prompt personal safety
awareness among mariners who make regular or occasional trips to outer anchorage
by trawler or country boat. Please have your own lifejacket and put it on before
stepping in the boat or make sure your company provides one for each person
taking such trip. I want to draw mariners attention on another potential
danger--draft reading. So far I can recall 2 incidents at Chittagong. Outer
anchorage and one in Kobe anchorage, where mariners lost their lives. At this
21st century we must voice our concern for sending people overboard hanging on a
collie ladder to read draft, instead we should have remote draft gauge fitted in
every ship. What you say?

Subject: Re: Medical fitness certificate
Dear Mr Chowdhury
Thank you for your email of 3 December on above.
Medical Fitness Certificates issued under the authority of the Maritime
Administration of the USA in compliance with ILO Conventions 147 or 73, is
acceptable to the MCA under the Merchant Shipping (Medical Examination)
Regulations 1983 (SI 1983 No. 808), as amended. The Coast Guard Office in
Washington DC should be able to give the deatils of their approved doctors in
your area.
MCA, in general, will accept the medical fitness certificate issued by a
bonafide medical practioner in the USA for the purpose of revalidation.
Shipping agents in the USA arrange for medical examination of seafarers in many
ports and one of them nearest to you should be able to advise you on this
matter. Some companies like, Exxon Mobil, Shell etc, also have doctors who are
approved to carry out medical examinations for their own employees.
General information on medical certification for seafarers is given in Merchant
Shipping Notice (MSN) No. 1760 (M). The MCA website address is:

If you have further queries on the matter, you may wish to contact exams_section@mcga.gov.uk

On 21 Dec 2001, he returned home after a two-week
heart treatment at Papworth Cardiac Hospital, Cambridge. An Angioplasty
(ballooning) was done on a section of his left main coronary artery. He wrote "
......... Angioplasty is not a surgery - it is rather a cardiac procedure, done
by inserting a probe and 'balloon' through the main artery at the groin without
opening the chest. A balloon is then inflated to open up the narrowing and then
placing a small stainless steel mesh at the expanded section of the artery to
prevent it from collapsing. Regular check-ups are then required.........".
He is recovering well. Capt. Anam requested Doa from everybody. 22 Dec 2001

Capt. Azizul Islam (1st)
In
Chittagong. He was visiting Australia in October 2001, to attend prestigious
"Port Fairy Spring Music Festival" in Melbourne, an annual international music
gala as an invited performer. For those who don't know, Master Mariner Capt.
Islam is an internationally acclaimed flute artist.
In this three day long festival, he performed on Sunday, 14 October, from 1130
to 1230 hours for the festival. His segment of performance was appropriately
named "Sounds of Bangladesh". He was accompanied by the famous Indian tabla
maestro, Ustad Sabir Khan (Padmavushan).
During his week-long stay in Melbourne, Capt. Islam and Ustad Sabir Khan
performed another concert on Saturday, 20 October, at the Melba Hall, University
of Melbourne. It was attended by all sections of Melbourne community including a
large number of locals.
In addition to the concert, Capt. Islam's stay at Melbourne was quite a busy
one. On the 17th October, he was the Guest Speaker at the Rotary Club of
Chadstone/East Malvern where one of our seafaring community, Capt. Nurur Rahman,
is a member. For those of us unaware of the fact, Capt. Islam has been actively
involved with the Rotary movement for over 15 years and is currently a member of
the Rotary Club of Islamabad, Chittagong.
On the 18th October 2001, Capt. Islam attended as the Chief Guest at a Dinner
reception by mariners and theri amilies resident in Melbourne. The reception was
organised jointly by Mr. Mohd.
Dilwar Ali (6th) and Capt.
Khaled Saifullah. It turned out to be a gala evening with a real surprise
for the guest. For the first time since 1962, Capt. Islam was re-united with one
of his batch mate from Marine Academy, Chittagong, Mr. Riaz Hussain (1st). It
was an eventful evening for the two of them and also for all mariners and their
families. Please enjoy few of photographs of
his visit in Australia.

Extremely happy to see the layout.....
" .............I did not have time to go through your entire site but will do so
soon. I was extremely happy to see the layout of your site. It is the first site which is more or less
dedicated to the Bangladeshi seafarer. I just wonder if you should not consider
expanding the coverage to other Asian and European seafarers. Though I do understand that that would be an extremly difficult task .Please accept my
congratulations on the theme of your website.........

Shafiul Azam (28th)
Expired on 01 April 2000
" ....................... In December, 1999, one of my batchmate, Md.
Shafiul Azam joined there as 2nd mate. But I am deeply shocked and surprised to
know that on the 1st April, 2000, he was found dead in his cabin bathroom.
Though the proper investigation has yet to be done, but after a conversation
with the master of the vessel by telephone it was found that after the Asar
prayer (the whole complement is fortunately from Bangladesh) he was absent in
dinner. But when time came for watch handing over the 3rd mate couldn't get him
on the phone. After a long try he informed the Chief Mate. When the matter went
to the master he opened the cabin with master key and found Shafiul passed away
(inna.........) in his cabin lavatory. He had some bruises on his back side of
head and a deep mark of laceration in right side of the forehead. The ship was
on her way to Japan from Australia. She is supposed to reach Japan on 7th April,
2000. The most shocking thing is that he became a father of a sweet daughter
just three months earlier but he couldn't give his child a hug.. We pay our deep
tribute to Shafiul Azam and pray for his departed soul. He was a very nice guy
as best way possible known to us, very much perky, self styled and very
enthusiastic about his carrear. He was only 27..............."
