L'IFSMA, la Fédération Internationale des Associations de Capitaines de Navires vient de publier sa "Newsletter" N° 50 de mars 2022.

Merci à Danielle Quaini pour la transmission de cette Newsletter.

Remarque : Une erreur s’est glissée sur la date de la couverture en haut à droite. Il s’agit bien sûr de mars et non de février.

Voici le sommaire du document que vous pouvez ouvrir en pièce-jointe :

Dear All,

We have included some recent articles on the Ukrainian situation; however, due to rapidly changing circumstances, some of these articles may already be out of date.

Also in this issue we include an article on one of the services that Singapore Maritime Officers’ Union (SMOU) provides for its members, see page 16. If you would like your association featured in a future issue, please send us the information.

Lithium batteries in road vehicles appear to be causing many ship fires, on one such car carrier “Felicity Ace” caught fire recently and eventually sank while under tow, all the crew were rescued. Such fires are not easy to extinguish. Included in this issue are articles on this subject.

As always the Newsletter is also published on our website.

Best regards, Paul Owen
Assistant Secretary General
