Decline in Cargo Turnover at Stade Port: Aftermaths of the Energy Crisis
The port of Stade (Lower Saxony) witnessed a decline in cargo turnover last year, as per the recently released annual report.
In 2022, the port handled approximately 5.1 million tons of goods. Overall drop of -13% for the year-on-year comparison. Among them: solid bulk cargoes -4%, chemical products -27%.
The decline has been attributed to the energy crisis, which coincided with rising natural gas costs, leading to a substantial reduction in production by the energy-dependent sectors of industry and thus on the maritime trade in Lower Saxony (overall, -6% decrease in turnover across all its seaports, with the Stade port making it below the average decline for the region).

ChatGPT AI in the crewing process - a humble example
Human: In the ship particulars it is said that the type of the Cargo pumps on a product oil tanker is "COP". How can we decipher the abbreviation? What is the type of the cargo pump?
AI: COP stands for "Centrifugal Oil Pump". It refers to a type of cargo pump commonly used on product oil tankers to transfer liquids such as crude oil or petroleum products. Centrifugal oil pumps use a rotating impeller to increase the velocity of the fluid, which is then converted into pressure by a volute casing to move the fluid through the pump.
Human: Then what is the driver for the COP: is it the steam turbine, Framo hydraulic system, Marflex electric system, any other?
AI: The driver for a Centrifugal Oil Pump (COP) can vary, and the specific type of driver depends on the ship and the pump system installed. Some common drivers for COPs on product oil tankers include:
- Steam turbine: This is a type of driver that uses steam to power the pump. It is often used in older ships or in ships with steam turbine propulsion systems.
- Framo hydraulic system: This is a hydraulic drive system specifically designed for use with cargo pumps on tankers. It utilizes hydraulic power to drive the pump, making it a reliable and efficient option.
- Marflex electric system: This is an electric drive system that uses an electric motor to power the pump. It is a popular option on modern ships due to its reliability and ease of maintenance.
So the abbreviation COP does not determine the specific type of driver. The actual driver used would be specified elsewhere in the ship particulars.

What is the ISO 9001:2015 Internal auditor's certificate validity?
Neither of the ISO 9001, 17001, 19011 standards define the validity period of the certificates for internal auditors. There is an opinion that there is no need for such a certificate at all - no direct requirement - to conduct the internal audits. However that is why all the certificates I saw refer to the fact of completing a relevant training program.
Unless it is specified in the training program by the issuing body, the certificate issued has no expiry. Another source to consider is IATF 16949 that imposes requirements to maintain and improve the competence of internal auditors.
Then if your certificate is issued under the CQI/IRCA auspices, the CQI/IRCA auditor's validity is five years only. To maintain the status one has to do CPD (Continuous Professional Development) and audits.
The charted re-certification procedure can be found at www.quality.org . There is a requirement for minimum number of audits per year performed by auditors.

Churchill's Optimist and Pessimist in 3D
![]() |
| Source: Laurens Reinier Korporaal |
- An unhappy optimist = the one who sees the opportunity in every difficulty but every time cannot improve the former because of the scope of the latter. It does mean his/her perception of opportunities is absolutely slant and overly. This associate leads to danger.
- An unhappy pessimist = the one who sees the same difficulty in every new opportunity. One day the pessimist realises his/her personal restrictions and becomes disturbed. This mate soon becomes a burden.
- A happy optimist = the one that regularly seizes the opportunities and gets success now and then. This optimist is resourceful especially in the terms of time. Do not learn from him/her - you are wasting your time then. Join him/her.
- A happy pessimist = the one who is good at finding the difficulty in every opportunity and due to his experience becomes invaluable critic of any project. Listen to him/her but be fast if he/she becomes slow.

Что такое качество?
Важнейшие свойства качества
- качество продукции или услуги окончательно проявляется только при эксплуатации или потреблении, т. е. качество выявляется потребителем;
- качество — это относительное и динамическое понятие: со временем потребности потребителя могут изменяться и производителю продукции или услуги необходимо периодически пересматривать требования к качеству своей продукции, для того чтобы качество оставалось на прежнем уровне;
- качество — это совокупность свойств, поэтому необходимо применение показателей для его описания и количественные характеристики для его оценки и сравнения;
- качество взаимосвязано с ценой, но напрямую не зависит от неё.
Ожидания потребителя
Удовлетворенность потребителя

James Harrington on performance improvement
Source Harrington Institute
Many quality professionals claim that quality and productivity are two sides of the same coin. That is not true. They may overlap, but they are very different in nature. You can drive your organization bankrupt by focusing too much on quality and never getting the product out and you can also drive your company into bankruptcy by pushing productivity and shipping bad products. What you really need to do is focus on performance improvement.Performance improves under three conditions and three conditions only:
- When quality remains constant and productivity goes up
- When productivity remains constant and quality goes up, and
- When quality and productivity go up together.
- Return on Assets (ROA) Changes in this measurement indicate how an individual program impacts profitability.
- Value Added per Employee (VAE) Changes in this measurement reflect how an individual program improves productivity.
- Customer Satisfaction (CS) Changes in this measurement are key indicators of sustained long-term performance
- Market Share (MS) Changes in this measurement indicate how well the organization is performing compared to its competition.

Shipping costs depend on Fuel efficiency
After the energy saving light bulbs, fridges and cars it came to ships. Nowadays fuel efficiency may be one of the criteria (or the one) to judge on when taking into account the cost of the shipping of goods.
Below I offer a brief into the problem, a short video created by Carbon War Room.
ShippingEfficiency.org is an initiative launched by the Carbon War Room and industry-leading partners to increase information flows around international shipping's energy efficiency and ultimately help reduce the environmental impacts of the world's shipping fleet.
Just to mention that one of the founders of the Carbon War Room is Sir Richard Branson.

Dr. Ichak Adizes and the Corporate Lifecycle
![]() |
| The Corporate Lifecycle source Wikimedia Commons |
The challenges that every organization must overcome at each stage of development first manifest themselves as problems that arise from the growth and success of the company and from external changes in markets, competitors, technology and the general business and political environment. This simple, unavoidable reality leads to the following five important insights about the nature of problems in organizations.
- Problems are normal and desirable. Problems are the natural result of change. The only place on the lifecycle curve where there are no problems is the place where there is no change, which is Death. If you think that good managers are those whose organizations have no problems, think again. Your reward for successfully resolving the problems that confront you today, is a set of new problems tomorrow that will be larger and more complex. If your company faces a high rate of change in your markets, technology or industry, your challenge is magnified. The faster the rate of change, the faster problems appear and grow.
- Your role as a leader is not to prevent problems or slow the pace of change. Instead, focus on accelerating your organization's ability to recognize and resolve problems. Your ability to work together as a team and quickly tackle any and all situations, or decide not to, is your ultimate competitive advantage.
- Some of the problems you face are normal and some are abnormal. Normal problems are those that are expected for a given lifecycle stage. Abnormal problems are those that are not expected (or desirable) in a stage of the lifecycle. Since you will never have enough time or resources to address all the problems you face, focus on abnormal problems. Many normal problems can be ignored since they tend to resolve themselves during the natural course of growth and development.
- You can drive your organization faster when you know the road ahead. Most of the issues you face are common to all organizations. There is no need for you to reinvent the wheel. You can save a lot of time and effort by thoroughly understanding the nature of all 10 stages in the lifecycle, and knowing what it takes to transition from one stage to the next. If you and your management team share a common understanding of this knowledge before problems arise, it will also help you attack the problems, instead of attacking each other.
- Prime is the Fountain of Youth for Organizations. One key difference between the lifecycle for human beings versus organizations is that living things inevitably die, while organizations need not. The "age" of a company in terms of its lifecycle is not related to its chronological age, the number of employees, or the size of its assets. Instead, the lifecycle age is defined by the interrelationship between flexibility and control. There is a fountain of youth for organizations called Prime. An organization that is in Prime has achieved a balance between control and flexibility. A Prime organization knows what it is doing, where it is going, and how it will get there. It also enjoys both high growth and high profitability. Once an organization reaches Prime, leadership must work to sustain that position.

Ukrainian PSC (Black Sea MOU) inspections database
Quote from Wikipedia on PSC:
Port State Control (PSC) is the inspection of foreign ships in other national ports by PSC officers (inspectors) for the purpose of verifying that the competency of the master and officers on board, the condition of a ship and its equipment comply with the requirements of international conventions (e.g. SOLAS, MARPOL, STCW, etc.) and that the vessel is manned and operated in compliance with applicable international law.

KPIs for Ports and Terminals
It is really necessary to set up KPIs in order to ensure an efficient and profitable terminal operation, although handling too many in order to screen performance might be counter-productive.
KPI's for Ports and Port Terminals are absolutely necessary and required to satisfy all ports Stakeholders specifically for the Environmental , Health , Safety and Security considerations , Operational , Efficiency and Financial / Economical / Legal , Legislative considerations.
|
* Crane productivity (measures how shipping lines' contracts are met)
* Dwell times
* Cost per cargo handled, mainly labour, maintenance, energy (measures internal efficiency performance)
* Equipment technical/maintenance
* Mean time between failure (MTBF)
* Reliability/availability of equipment
* Kilometer/moves per equipment (measures technical state and maintenance needs)
* Health, Safety like lost time injuries
* Security - ISPS breaches
* Minimum teus per FTE (full time equivalent) employee i.e. we never want the teus per FTE to fall below this level
* Maximum cost per TEU
* Average crane rate
* Truck turn time
* Yard occupancy
They may overlap or measure the same in a different manner. All operators measure them most likely slightly differently.
There is no standard way of measuring crane rate. Some terminals measure it using time of first lift to time of last lift; another might use start of shift to end of shift; a third might use either of the above but deduct breakdowns, and so on. You cannot look at the quoted rate from one terminal and be certain it's been calculated the same way as the quoted rate from another.
From a Security point of view, in a port operations environment, KPI's are fundamental in measuring, and most importantly managing, compliance, costs, performance, and continual improvement. At DP World they have embraced and implemented an international security management standard (ISO 28000) that allows to do this.
Example of KPI for the third parties:
Jacobs Engineering Ireland Ltd. uses KPIs in terms of gauging their support to Port clients. Client identifies desired performance indicators, Jacobs tracks adherence to same.

Risk Management Generated Problems
The question arises that Risk Management as a formal procedure becomes too formal and too stiff for some everyday activities in order to suit the ever declining quality of judgement and ever increasing demand for loss prevention. Here under formalisation meant the process of providing a documented proof of the Risk Assessment actually carried out. Sometimes it is a stupid over-burden, often because of the latter suffers either the quality or feasibility of the Risk Assessment itself.
In order to demonstrate how the malignant bureaucracy chafes the process, let us examine an execution string connecting the two points:
![]() |
| Fig.1. A sample work task process |
Further analysis allows to put a Risk Management point somewhere on this string. For the sake of our purposes we are not going to detail out any other points or to delve into the philosophy of iteration and continuation. Therefore the process have the following looks:
![]() |
| Fig.2. Next level of the process detail |
Conscious or sub-conscious Risk Management is present all the time at everyday operations. We consider Fig.2. illustrates a process with a “normal” everyday risk management.
Our interest in the topic indicates that quality of the “normal” everyday risk management is not satisfactory and there is need for improvement. One of the goals we set to achieve is to make the risk assessment a standard documented procedure, i.e. to make risk assessment explicitly conscious. Practically it is done when the procedures have been incorporated into a Safety Management System. Real life shows that our process from Fig.2 because of the new properly documented “quality” Risk Management procedure now looks like in Fig.3:
![]() |
| Fig.3. Work task process with Quality Risk Assessment |
Question: Is there any problem in this?
In order to be able to cope with the increased man-hours quality Risk Assessment needs dedicating more men or hours. The other way lies in enhancing the procedure.
Even being over-optimistic we cannot expect more men onboard. We could hope for more hours though, but these can be provided only basis re-prioritization. The most plausible solution seems to me the enhanced technique of the Risk Management itself:
- Preparing the Risk Management Templates for standard onboard practices.
- Developing better automation and document management procedures to replace the implemented.
- Upgrading risk assessment skills of all the ORM personnel with custom-tailored training programmes (until now there are only the Risk Management Awareness programmes).
- Providing access for seamen to a searchable Knowledge Base, which gives comprehensive reference to how-to’s and do-not’s of the onboard operations (these elements are still not present to the desirable level of usefulness).
Conclusions.
While we definitely need improving the Risk Management effectiveness, we have to realize that it leads to a problem of extra workload for the ship’s staff. There are few remedies to counteract: by allowing more time for proper risk assessment and/or by enhancing the Risk Management procedures.

Как мне доехать до аэропорта?
Приезжий спрашивает:
«Как мне доехать до аэропорта?» или: «Как мне добраться до ресторана Розелла?»
«Знающие люди» отвечают ему каждый по-своему:
• Специалист по риторике: «А почему вы хотите узнать, где находится этот ресторан?»
• Специалист по трансакциям: «Пожалуйста, охарактеризуйте сначала состояние своего Я, для того чтобы мы смогли добраться до мотивов ваших исканий!»
• Специалист по моделям поведения: «Итак, начнем с самого начала. Вы поднимаете правую ногу и перемещаете ее вперед. Наступаете на нее, отлично, отлично, уже очень хорошо. Вот вы и идете!»
• Руководитель тренингов: «Готовое решение ничего не даст вам сейчас. Ответьте сначала на следующие вопросы: как вы собираетесь искать этот ресторан, как представляете себе возможные препятствия на пути к цели и какие наработанные модели могут помочь вам в ваших поисках?»
• Психоаналитик: «Вы жаждете войти в этот восхитительный храм кулинарии, для того чтобы медленно, с наслаждением подносить к губам вилку с лакомством, погружать ее в рот, потом вынимать изо рта, накалывать на нее следующий кусочек и вновь погружать в рот и т. д. — вынимаем, погружаем, вынимаем, погружаем?!»
• Специалист по психологии личности: «Будь настойчив. Скажи себе, что ты жаждешь попасть в этот ресторан — только в этот, и ни в какой другой!»
• Специалист по интенсивной психотерапии с использованием методов НЛП (нейролингвистическое программирование. — Прим. пер.): «Представьте себе, что вы уже добрались до ресторана. Теперь мысленно проделайте этот путь еще раз!»
• Гипнотерапевт: «Очень медленно закройте глаза. Наступает темнота, полная темнота. Теперь расслабьтесь. Вашему подсознанию известно многое, а что оно говорит вам по поводу того, как найти дорогу к этому ресторану?»
• Консультант по вопросам стратегии: «Вы неправильно ставите вопрос. Ваш вопрос должен звучать так: какие стратегически важные моменты, способные повлиять на прохождение этого пути, должны быть мне известны, на какие из них я могу активно воздействовать, какие из них являются для моего пути наиболее важными? Далее вы намечаете для себя стратегию достижения цели. Определяйте свою цель как можно четче, будьте максимально точны в формулировках».
• Специалист по глубинной психологии: «У вас есть установка. С каких пор вас преследует желание во что бы то ни стало посетить этот ресторан?»
• Коуч-консультант по планированию времени: «Почему посещение этого ресторана имеет для вас первостепенное значение, каким запасом времени вы располагаете и как это мероприятие укладывается в ваш график?!»
• Специалист по провокационным технологиям: «Вы давно уже занимаетесь этими поисками, причем абсолютно безрезультатно. Почему вам не удается добраться до цели? Возможно, есть что-то, что вы можете делать лучше?»
• Коуч-консультант по технике ведения публичных дискуссий: «Давайте определим возможные варианты решения нашей задачи при помощи техники метапланирования. Вы выписываете эти варианты на карточки, затем мы выбираем из них наиболее разумный, моделируем процесс решения и обеспечиваем себе гарантированный результат!»
• Д-р Ульрих Штрунц, папа римский для приверженцев здорового образа жизни: «Почему бы вам не пробежаться трусцой при постоянном контроле пульса? Вы бежите, находите свою цель, затем намечаете новую. Диета по Штрунцу — вот что вам нужно! Вообще, я написал массу книг по данной тематике, вы можете их прочитать, но обязательно поддерживайте диету соответствующими витаминами и минералами — о чем, например, говорит вам такое название, как "селен"?»
• Специалист по реинкарнационной терапии: «Тебе следует мысленно вернуться во время до твоего рождения. Ну что, тебе уже приходилось когда-то разыскивать этот ресторан?
Как тебя звали в той жизни? Чем ты занимался? Какая карма охраняла тебя?»
• Коуч-консультант по продажам: «Если вы находитесь в состоянии полной дезориентации, современные навигационные системы способны предложить вам идеальный вариант решения проблемы; к вашим услугам любой из находящихся в прокате автомобилей!»
• Руководитель: «Пожалуйста, не тратьте время на описание своих проблем и начинайте действовать, вперед!»
• Психолог-консультант по вопросам семьи и брака: «Чего еще ты намерен добиться, получив ответ на данный вопрос? Кого ты хотел бы встретить в этом ресторане? Тебе хочется перевести отношения в новую фазу? Ты ищешь эмоциональной зависимости? Тебе уже случалось переживать эдипов комплекс?»
• Биоэнергетик: «А ну-ка, сделаем вдох, выдох, еще раз вдох! Почувствуй свою энергию, используй ее для того, чтобы найти дорогу к цели. Ты можешь открыть ее в глубине своего существа. Ну, что ты сейчас чувствуешь?!»
• Социолог: «Какое выражение находит в этом ресторане факт разделения нашего общества на классы? Вы должны были назвать свое имя, когда заказывали столик? Каков уровень тамошних цен, можно ли войти внутрь в обычной уличной одежде?»

О взаимосвязи карьеры работника, системы оплаты труда и ранжировании должностей
Примеры существующих систем ранжирования (прилагаются):
- Таблица-классификатор General Schedule для гражданских служащих “белых воротничков” США.Grade — ранг, определяемый в зависимости от квалификации (образования). Каждый ранг разбит на 10 шагов (Step). Существуют Супер-ранги для топ-менеджеров.
- Система ранжирования компании N (одной из крупнейших компаний-операторов флота). Здесь градация подразумевает первичное разбитие рабочих мест (судов) на классы с дальнейшим ранжированием персонала по должностям. Выделены группы должностей. В зависимости от принадлежности к группе компания в своей системе управления определяет уровень бонусного стимулирования и дополнительного обеспечения (напр., компенсации проживания семей для офицеров).
- изучение карьерного потенциала сотрудников; обеспечение обоснованной оценки карьерного потенциала работников с целью сокращения нереалистичных ожиданий;
- достижение взаимосвязи целей организации и целей сотрудника;
- определение путей служебного роста , использование которых могло бы удовлетворить количественную и качественную потребность в персонале в нужный момент времени и в нужном месте;
- обеспечение направленности развития конкретного сотрудника с целью учета его специфических потребностей и ситуаций или устранение “карьерных тупиков”, в которых практически не оказывается возможностей для развития сотрудника;
- обеспечение открытости процесса управления карьерой и формирование наглядных и воспринимаемых критериев служебного роста, используемых в конкретных карьерных решениях.
- Должностные ступени и уровни иерархии управления.
- Ступени квалификационной лестницы и связанные с ней разряды, дифференцирующие навыки и знания людей на уровне мастерства.
- Статусные ранги, отражающие величину вклада работника в развитие организации (выслуга лет, рационализаторские предложения).
- Ступени власти как степени влиятельности в организации (участие в принятии важных решений, близость к руководству).
- Уровни материального вознаграждения и дохода.
