Editor’s Note:

The Maritime Standard (TMS), which is based in Dubai, publishes a regular e-newsletter aimed specifically at the shipping and maritime community. It is delivered fortnightly, on the 1st and 15th of every month, and provides accurate, up-to-date news about the market. Over the past few years the publication has built up the largest readership of any shipping-related online newsletter in the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent. It is also gaining popularity in other major shipping hubs, including Oslo, Hamburg, Singapore, London and Greece.

The newsletter includes news and analysis from the shipping and ports industries and related sectors in the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent. Topics that are covered include tanker shipping, container operations, dry and liquid bulk trades, ro-ro, and cruise shipping. In addition, there is up to date information about regional terminal operations; port development; classification; ship repair and conversion; shipbuilding; ship agency; finance and insurance; maritime law; and transportation & logistics. The newsletter, which celebrated the publication of its 100th edition in 2018, regularly carries exclusives, analysis and interviews with top executives, and there are plans to include a special section on recent and forthcoming events, the industry’s ‘movers and shakers’ and other personality-led news.

TMS publishes the very successful TMS UAE Yearbook. The third volume covering 2018/19 was launched in July last year and the 2019/20 edition is all set to be unveiled in June 2019 at NorShippinhg in Oslo. Around 5000 copies are printed and distributed worldwide and have a high profile at partner maritime events, such as Posidonia, SMM, Norshipping, Dubai International Boat Show, Offshore Arabia and many more. The UAE’s Federal Transport Authority also takes the Yearbook with them to the events that they take part in and host over the year, as well as having copies on display at its headquarter in Abu Dhabi.

Covering key developments across the country’s maritime sector, the annual publication aims to publicise the UAE’s achievements both locally and internationally, through in-depth articles, researched first hand. These cover all the major sectors of the shipping, ports and maritime industry in the UAE. The articles, on terminals, shipping companies, shipyards, maritime law firms, classification, regulators and inland transport firms, among others, have been well received by the industry as a year-round reference point. The Maritime Standard UAE Yearbook is a must-read publication for everyone interested in UAE maritime issues.

The not-to-be missed The Maritime Standard Awards recognise and celebrate success in the shipping, ports and related sectors across the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent. The sixth edition of TMS Awards will take place on Monday, 21st October 2019 at Atlantis, the Palm, Dubai.

These are the only Awards of their kind that represent all sectors within the maritime and shipping industries, a factor that has been evident since their inception. They are in particular the only Awards where all the major shipowners and operators from across the region are represented, something that TMS is extremely proud of.

The Awards are now firmly positioned as one of the world's leading shipping and maritime Awards gala dinners and are the premier event of their kind in the region. All of the five events to date have been held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, and have each attracted close to 700 of the region's elite shipping and maritime professionals, as well as a number of leading figures from overseas. These guests have come from a variety of industry segments, ranging from ports and terminal operators to ship owners and managers. Top executives from the worlds of maritime law and finance, classification, ship building and repair and maritime education and training are also in attendance, creating unrivalled networking opportunities.

All of the events have had distinguished master of ceremonies. Past MCs have included Alastair Campbell, Ruud Gullit, Jim Clancy, Lara Dutta and Tim Wilcox. The 2019 event will be hosted by a personality of equivalent caliber.

The 2018 TMS Awards saw 20 general awards presented, in line with the recommendations of an elite, independent judging panel, as well as a number for special individual awards recognising the contributions made by high profile industry leaders and innovators. The Awards have set a benchmark within the industry and have become an eagerly anticipated meeting place for top executives from across the market, as well as an opportunity to reward and recognise achievement at the highest level. The fourth Maritime Standard Tanker Conference will be held on the 22nd October 2019 at the Taj Hotel, Dubai. Attendees will include key decision makers and opinion formers who will be able to discuss the challenges and opportunities that exist, not just for ship owners and operators active in the tanker markets, but those delivering products and services to this sector of the shipping industry.

Hospitals in Taiwan Make a Commitment to Eliminate Preventable Patient Harm & Death in Hospitals

IRVINE, Calif. & TAICHUNG,Taiwan-Tuesday 30 April 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Patient Safety Movement Foundation (PSMF) and the Taiwan Patient Safety Culture Club (TPSCC) announced today that 4 hospitals and 1 healthcare organization made a public commitment to helping eliminate preventable patient harm and death in hospitals by implementing the PSMF’s Actionable Patient Safety Solutions (APSS). The commitments were made at the 3rd Annual Patient Safety Rally hosted by TPSCC in Taichung, Taiwan on April 27, 2019. Over 130 clinicians, hospital administrators and patient advocates were in attendance. Founded in 2012 by Dr. Chan Liao, TPSCC is the only not-for-profit patient safety advocacy group in Taiwan.

“We are excited and encouraged to see these healthcare organizations put patient safety above all else,” said Dr. David Mayer, Chief Executive Officer of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation. “In just 2 years, these dedicated clinicians and administrators from 38 organizations have implemented solutions that have saved 1,631 lives. We look forward to working closely with their team and hope that every hospital in Taiwan implement every APSS by 2020.”

“We are working to unify the healthcare ecosystem in Taiwan and are committed to helping our hospitals eliminate preventable patient deaths by implementing the evidence-based APSS,” said Dr. Chan Liao, Founder & President of the Taiwan Patient Safety Culture Club. “I attended the World Patient Safety, Science and Technology Summit in 2017 and was so inspired that I wanted to mirror their efforts in Taiwan. I became the Regional Chair for Taiwan and am so proud of the organizations that have joined us with a public commitment. We just announced the PatientAider app has been launched in Traditional Chinese. I believe this will help empower patients in Taiwan to take a more active role in their healthcare. We are grateful to the Patient Safety Movement Foundation for their inspiration and strong support. I have no doubt that together we will reach zero patient harm and deaths in our hospitals.”

Dr. Chan Liao presented his organization’s commitment at the World Patient Safety, Science and Technology Summit. Presentation link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgz-SUFbKmQ

TPSCC revealed the Patient Safety Movement’s PatientAider® mobile app is now available in Traditional Chinese for both iPhone and Android users. This was done in collaboration with a solution called Contentful. The PatientAider is designed to cut through confusing medical jargon to provide an easy to understand explanation of medical terms, protocols, and risks that hospital patients may encounter. It will be a valuable source of medical information that is designed to help patients and their loved ones navigate their hospital care.

Dr. Steven Barker, a member of the Board of Directors for PSMF, introduced the Patient Safety Movement’s mission, goals and strategies to attendees. He also provided a detailed presentation on the APSS called Hand-Off Communications. According to Joint Commission, ineffective patient care handoffs between providers or teams have been the largest single contributor to preventable patient deaths. The PSMF developed a new approach to patient handoffs, using a specific, detailed checklist for each of the 18 types of handoffs identified.

Speakers at the rally included:

    Brandyn Lau, MPH, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
    Shin Ushiro MD, PhD, Kyushu University Hospital, Japan
    Steven J. Barker, PhD, MD, Chief Science Officer, Masimo

2019 Organizations that have made commitment(s) include:

    Taiwan Society of Anesthesiologists (Partner): TSA was founded in 1956 and now has more than 1,400 members. TSA is the first national anesthesiology society in Asia to join the Movement.
    Tsao-Tun Psychiatric Center (Hospital): The biggest psychiatric center in Central Taiwan.
    Tainan Sin-Lau Hospital (Hospital): The oldest Western hospital in Taiwan.
    Tao Yuan General Hospital (Hospital): The biggest medical center operated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
    Cheng Ching Hospital: One of the oldest hospitals in Taichung.

About The Patient Safety Movement Foundation

More than 200,000 people die every year in U.S. hospitals and 4.8 million worldwide in ways that could have been prevented. The Patient Safety Movement Foundation is a global non-profit which creates free tools for patients and hospitals. The Patient Safety Movement Foundation was established through the support of the Masimo Foundation for Ethics, Innovation, and Competition in Healthcare to reduce that number of preventable deaths to ZERO. Improving patient safety will require a collaborative effort from all stakeholders, including patients, healthcare providers, medical technology companies, government, employers, and private payers. The Patient Safety Movement Foundation works with all stakeholders to address the problems with actionable solutions for patient safety. The Foundation also convenes the World Patient Safety, Science & Technology Summit. The Summit brings together some of the world’s best minds for thought-provoking discussions and new ideas to challenge the status quo. By presenting specific, high-impact solutions to meet patient safety challenges, called Actionable Patient Safety Solutions, encouraging medical technology companies to share the data their products are purchased for, and asking hospitals to make commitments to implement Actionable Patient Safety Solutions, the Patient Safety Movement Foundation is working toward ZERO preventable deaths.

AerSale Partnering with Universal Avionics to Develop STC for ClearVisionTM Enhanced Flight Vision System on Airbus 320 Aircraft

CORAL GABLES, Fla.-Tuesday 30 April 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AerSale®, a global supplier of mid-life aircraft, engines, used serviceable material, and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services, announced today it is partnering with Universal Avionics to develop a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the ClearVision Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) on Airbus 320 aircraft. FAA certification for the retrofit upgrade is expected by the end of the first quarter of 2020, with Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) validation to immediately follow. AerSale will also handle ClearVision installation.

Manufactured by Universal Avionics, the ClearVision EFVS solution includes the SkyLensTM Head-Wearable Display (HWD), a cost-effective and more modern alternative to a traditional fixed Head-Up Display (HUD). The SkyLens high-transparency visor presents high-resolution symbology/imagery, including an Enhanced Vision System (EVS), Synthetic Vision System (SVS), and Combined Vision System (CVS) for superior see-through transmission in all weather conditions, day and night. The state-of-the-art HWD requires significantly less installation effort and can often be installed in a few days, compared to a fixed HUD that requires disassembly of the aircraft cockpit and can take weeks—all while the aircraft is grounded.

“We are proud to work with Universal Avionics to apply our STC-development expertise to the ClearVision EFVS, which will certainly prove to be a game-changer for A320 operators worldwide,” said Iso Nezaj, Chief Technical Officer at AerSale. “Once the STC has been issued by the FAA, we’ll install ClearVision in a fraction of the time required for current systems, maximizing flight time for our customers.”

AerSale has previously developed STCs for its own proprietary products including AerSafeTM, a more economical fuel tank flammability reduction option, and AerTrakTM, a cost-effective ADS-B Out solution, as part of the company’s engineered solutions and parts manufacturing capabilities.

“We are excited to partner with AerSale to offer a high-performance EFVS and wearable HUD solution to the A320 market,” said Dror Yahav, Universal Avionics CEO. “This STC will allow A320 operators to install EFVS breakthrough technology, for the first time, in a commercially affordable way.”

As part of the NextGen roadmap, ClearVision aligns with Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) 91.176 released by the FAA, enabling operators to perform a full landing procedure with no natural vision, where the reported visibility is as low as 1,000 feet. The ClearVision system offers unmatched capabilities for airline operators, providing dispatch and landing approach priority as well as low visibility landing, regardless of the destination airport’s infrastructure.

About AerSale

A global aviation leader celebrating its 10-year anniversary, AerSale specializes in the sale, lease, and exchange of used aircraft, engines, and components, in addition to providing a broad range of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services and engineering services for commercial aircraft and components. AerSale also offers asset management services to owners of end-of-life aircraft and engine portfolios. Headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida, AerSale maintains offices and operations in the United States, Europe, and Asia.

The report highlights initiatives underscoring Moody’s commitment to empower people with the knowledge, resources and confidence they need to create a better future for themselves, their communities and the environment.

“We believe access to opportunity helps propel people toward greater success and communities toward greater prosperity,” said Raymond McDaniel, President and CEO of Moody’s. “Over the past year, our global CSR programs have helped empower people with the knowledge, resources and confidence they need to work toward a brighter future.”

“Moody’s touches communities and markets across the globe. Our extensive reach creates the opportunity — and responsibility — to play an important role in helping both people and enterprises in developing economies to grow and thrive,” added Arlene Isaacs-Lowe, Global Head of CSR at Moody’s.

Moody’s CSR strategy focuses on three core areas: empowering people with financial knowledge, activating an environmentally sustainable future and helping young people reach their potential. Each of these areas are supported by Moody’s employees sharing their passion and purpose with the world.

Empowering people with financial knowledge

As part of Reshape Tomorrow, its financial empowerment initiative to help people succeed in growing a small business, Moody’s works with small business owners to both help them better navigate the credit process and connect with lending institutions. For example, Moody’s partnered with WEConnect International, a global organization that supports women-owned businesses and champions gender-inclusive sourcing.

Activating an environmentally sustainable future

Moody’s expertise in credit ratings, research and risk analysis helps facilitate investment in sustainable development. In 2018, Moody’s completed 21 new Green Bond Assessments, covering $7 billion of debt, to assist investors in their evaluation of green bond offerings used to finance environmental projects.

Helping young people reach their potential

Through its partnership with non-profits around the world Moody’s helps to prepare young people aged 15-24 for successful careers in finance, technology and economics. In 2018 we created the Queer Coders program with the Hetrick-Martin Institute, which supports LGBTQI youth in New York, with a particular focus on people of color. The program helps young LGBTQI people to develop their technical skills and explore their passion for coding.

The report also details steps Moody’s takes to enable employees to work with non-profits and use their professional skills to support local communities and businesses.
