Text I Read the text below and mark questions 1, 2 and 3. The invasion of Ukraine is causing crisis at sea Russian ships have nowhere to dock, and supply chains will suffer. The United Kingdom has banned Russian ships from calling on its ports, and the European Union (EU) is about to do the same. The world's three largest shipping lines will no longer call on Russian ports. Ukraine's ports are closed. Russian's invasion of Ukraine is wreaking havoc on global shipping, which transports 80 per cent of the world's trade. Ships are now sailing the oceans unable to deliver and pick up cargo while some 140 other merchant vessels are stuck in Ukrainian ports, at risk of coming under fire and with food and other provisions running low. The rest of the world should care about their desperate situation – if nothing else because the cargo they carry is crucial to our daily lives. On March 1, the crude oil tanker NS Champion suddenly encountered an urgent problem. It was steering toward Scotland's Orkeney oil terminal. Like many other cargo vessels, the NS Champion sails under a Liberian flag, but it is owned by Sovcomflot, Russia's largest shipping company, and on Feb. 24 the U.S. government had placed the company under sanctions. Even so, the tanker had the right to make its next port of call, because sanctions don't affect ships that are already en route. But before it arrived, the British government announced it was immediately closing U.K. ports to Russian vessels. The Champion had to sail on, oil undelivered, to its next port of call, Denmark's Port of Skagen. Very soon, it won't be able to deliver its oil there either. The EU is expected to imminently follow the U.K.'s lead and close its ports to vessels owned or operated by Russian companies or sailing under the Russian flag. Canada already has. Switzerland-based Mediterranean Shipping Company, the world's largest shipping company has announced that it's suspending all container traffic to and from Russia. So have the other two members of global shipping's top three, Denmark-based Maersk and France's CMA CGM. Singapore-based Ocean Network Express and Germany's Hapag-Lloyd had already made similar announcements. The companies will only make humanitarian deliveries, usually understood as food and medication. That means Russia will be cut off from much of the world, able to send and receive goods only via primarily Asian shipping companies such as China's COSCO. Ukraine, meanwhile, has already been cut off. The week before the invasion, maritime insurers red-listed the Russian and Ukrainian parts of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, making it difficult and expensive for ships to sail through the waters. When Russia invaded last month, Ukraine closed its ports. The country is already running low on oxygen and other medical supplies. (Adapted from: foreignpolicy.com/2022/03/07/ukraine-shipping-supply-w...) According to the text,
  1. A)there is a surfeit of food in the Ukrainian ports.
  2. B)the Russian invasion is laying waste to global shipping.
  3. C)the Russian seizure of Ukraine is panning out.
  4. D)worldwide shipping is making strides on account of the Russian invasion.
  5. E)global shipping is thriving as a result of the Ukrainian occupation.

Text II Read the text below and mark questions 9 and 10. Tackling the challenges of cultural differences onboard The phenomenon of manning a ship with a culturally mixed crew is nothing new in the shipping industry. However, working along with mixed crews on board ships can easily lead to potential misunderstandings or miscommunication issues. As a result, shipping companies and operators need to provide cross-cultural training to every crewmember before boarding a vessel. Given the matter of multi-national crews' employment, the industry must be well-prepared, in order to cope with manning diversity, while realize the hidden risks of mixed crews. Multiplicity of persons whose ethnicity involves differences, not only language but also culture and religion are a major challenge to overcome when facing prolonged periods of on board. According to a study conducted by World Maritime University, cultural complexity on ships has become an issue of intensive attention, due to the fact that a growing number of maritime accidents are attributed to ineffective communication and misinterpretation of different behaviors on multilingual and multicultural vessels. "Seafaring professional culture, seafarers' national cultures, shipping company organizational culture and the industry-hailed safety culture all exert influences on seafarers individual attitudes, values, and team interactions and can lead to positive or negative performance on board ships." ... as World Maritime University stated. What is more, it is observed that poor command of English, wrong stereotyping, different understanding of safety/work culture and different attitude toward risk, can all lead to severe marine accidents and impact a ship's operational performance. "The development of cross-cultural competency is absent from the agenda of maritime education and training, despite the fact that the shipping sector is highly globalized and the maritime labor market widely multicultural." In addition, University of Rijeka, Faculty of Maritime Studies conducted a survey noting that companies should not only focus on the acquisition of appropriate technical skills for navigation and engineering, but also on the non-technical, i.e. soft skills, such as communication skills and intercultural competences and understanding of how culture can impact communication. Therefore, it is of vital importance for shipping industry and the seafarers to tackle the challenges of cultural differences onboard, by taking into consideration the following points: boost a cultural awareness environment; develop a global mindset; practice of language skills; enhance international work experience; boost diverse social contacts; promote appreciation of cultural differences. "Cultural differences should not separate us from each other, but rather cultural diversity brings a collective strength that can benefit all of humanity. Intercultural dialogue is the best guarantee of a more peaceful, just and sustainable world." ... Robert Alan, American writer, artist and social activist noted. (Adapted from: https://safety4sea.com/cm-tackling-the-challenges-of-cultural-differences-onboard/) Choose the correct statement according to the text.
  1. A)Multiculturalism on board is a thorny issue and it is imperative to find means to take the edge off its challenges.
  2. B)The article describes cultural differences on board as challenging and unprecedented.
  3. C)Seafarers are held solely responsible for their performance on board.
  4. D)The challenges of cultural differences might be dealt with by curbing cultural awareness on board.
  5. E)The soft skills encompass a wide range of technical skills required to work on the deck and in the engine room.

Text III Read the text below and mark questions 16 and 17. Raising the reef On the tiny island of Bonaire, scuba divers tend to an underwater nursery, slowly plucking off the algae that smothers young coral dangling from fibreglass trees. The island's entire coastline is a protected marine park and a major draw for tourists, but like elsewhere in the Caribbean Sea, coral cover has declined since the 1970s due to warming sea temperatures, disease outbreaks, coastal development and pollution. A team of scientists and volunteer divers are working tirelessly to restore the dying reef in the hope that it will serve as a model for the rest of the Caribbean. Above water, Bonaire has a semi-desert landscape dotted with giant cacti and low shrubs, which trap sediment and help prevent soil erosion. There is one problem, though: feral goats and donkeys, descendants of those once brought in by Spanish settlers, love to gobble up the scant vegetation. The loss of plant life, combined with powerful winds and hurricanes, increasingly pushes sediment and waste into the ocean, where it chokes the clear water. As Bonaire is located outside of the hurricane belt, it provides a safe haven for boat owners to moor their vessels, but this can also have a negative impact on the coral. "We now have increasing number of boats mooring in the town area, very close to shore. They just release their waste water into the ocean, right here, on top of the reef," says Francesca Virdis, a marine biologist and project co-ordinator at Reef Renewal Foundation Bonaire (RRFB). Waste water introduces bacteria, viruses and disease to the shallow reef, as well as nitrogen and phosphorus that can fuel the growth of algae. As algae and corals both require sunlight to survive, they compete for space on the seabed. (Adapted from: Wired, 2020) According to the text, choose the correct option.
  1. A)Volunteer divers and scientists are tired of trying to make coral reefs return to their former condition.
  2. B)Attempting to preserve life at sea, scuba divers are engaged in algae farming.
  3. C)Waste water favors the proliferation of algae improving the resilience of coral reefs.
  4. D)The depletion of skimpy vegetation in Bonaire is a critical issue.
  5. E)Human impact on Bonaire's coral reefs has plummeted dramatically over the years.

IMO Action Plan to address marine plastic litter from ships IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) in 2018 adopted the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Action Plan to address marine plastic litter from ships, which aims to enhance existing regulations and introduce new supporting measures to reduce marine plastic litter from ships. What is marine litter? Plastic materials in all shapes and sizes are omnipresent in our seas and oceans. They break down extremely slowly in the marine environment, taking in excess of 400 years. Marine litter originates from many sources and causes a wide spectrum of environmental, economic, safety, health and cultural impacts. For example, marine litter can cause harm to sea life if ingested or even death if a marine mammal becomes entangled in litter. Marine litter has been defined by UN Environment (United Nations Environment) as "any persistent, manufactured or processed solid material discarded, disposed of or abandoned in the marine and coastal environment. Marine litter consists of items that have been made or used by people and deliberately discarded into the sea or rivers or on beaches; brought indirectly to the sea with rivers, sewage, storm water or winds; accidentally lost, including material lost at sea in bad weather (fishing gear, cargo); or deliberately left by people on beaches and shores." Marine litter, including plastics and microplastics, is known to result from land-based sources in massive quantities but can also originate from ships. Debris particles have been observed in coastal areas, in waters far from anthropogenic pollution sources, in surface waters, in the water column of deep water and in ocean sediments, and from the equator to the poles, including trapped in sea ice. UN Environment estimates that 15% of marine litter floats on the sea's surface, 15% remains in the water column and 70% rests on the seabed. mentos.c According to another study, 5.25 million plastic particles, weighing 268,940 tonnes in total, are currently floating in the world's oceans. What problems does marine litter cause? In addition to the environmental and health problems posed by marine litter, floating garbage and plastics pose a costly as well as dangerous problem for shipping, as they can be a navigational hazard and become entangled in propellers and rudders. Another problem requiring urgent remedial action is the massive accumulation of plastics, not only in coastal areas but also in the deep sea. This litter is harmful to marine life: sea creatures can become trapped inside containers or strangled by nets or ropes, and microplastics can also enter the food chain as they are indigestible when swallowed. (Adapted from https://www.imo.org) Mark the correct alternative about the text above.
  1. A)Litter disposal at sea has been treated as a matter of human lack of attention.
  2. B)IMO voices its view about sea life being caught in a trap of extensive damage.
  3. C)UN Environment has called on IMO to issue litter-related death on sea.
  4. D)Attention has been diverted from land-based litter to debris on open sea.
  5. E)Plastic is by far the least noticeable substance discarded into marine environment.

First ship tunnel to be constructed in Norway Norway plans for a pioneering construction project that will facilitate ship transportation. The plan includes the construction of a tunnel from which ships will pass by in order to avoid the Stad peninsula. The endeavor has been underway since 2017 and was approved by Norway's Ministry of Transport and Communications in late February The waters in the Stad peninsula are dangerous since it is an exposed area where navigation is challenging. Except for the water currents, the underwater topography creates additional issues including unpredictable waves which may persist for a significant amount of time after a storm has passed. The Norwegian Coastal Administration stated that plans for alternatives such as the one currently underway have been suggested for years. Even the Vikings used to drag their ships over the land in order to avoid the dangerous conditions around the peninsula. During World War II, the Germans also made plans to construct a similar project, however, according to Terje Andreassen, head of the Norwegian Coastal Administration, "the war didn't last long enough to build it" The tunnel will create an alternative, faster route for ships around the peninsula. It will stretch for 1700 meters and will be 37 and 36 meters in height and width, respectively. The construction will begin from the two sides of the tunnel (probably using , the drilling and blasting technique). The tunnel face will be excavated in multiple phases. The top of the tunnel will be supported by a layer of shotcrete. Routes from which the excavated material will be transported outside of the tunnel will also be established The two entrances of the tunnel will feature walls made from the excavated rocks. The interior of the facility will have led lights that will function both as an aesthetic and a navigation tool. The design aims at making the tunnel fit with the surrounding nature and not interrupt the natural environment. The total cost of the project is expected to reach $325MM with officials mentioning that funding has been secured. The construction process is planned to begin in early 2022 after signing a contract in 2021. Officials suggest that the construction phase will last for 3-4 years, hence, the tunnel will be completed by 2026. Norway is a pioneering country for tunnel engineering and has more than 1,100 facilities. The rough terrain and the rockmass conditions (which are generally good) have favored the establishment of such projects. Despite the excitement for the project, not everyone is in favor of it. According to Knut Samset, Professor of project management at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the project is not going to be financially prosperous due to its high cost, the fact that it will not always be the faster route and that modern ships will not be obliged to use it. "It's a very expensive thing Weather permitting, it's as fast to sail around the cape as it is to sail into the fjord and through the tunnel. Plus, today's boats are big enough and safe enough to handle the choppy waters, which makes traveling through the tunnel a moot point.", Prof. Samset stated. (From https://www.geoengineer.org>news) According to the text, which option is correct?
  1. A)The new route will be compulsory for contemporary ships.
  2. B)The project is going to be a little steep.
  3. C)The groundbreaking project of the tunnel is a real flop
  4. D)The placid waters of the peninsula are the main deterrent to safe navigation.
  5. E)The construction of the tunnel caused a feeling of dispair.

What the Ever Given can tell us about mental health at sea Captain Lee Clarke from Tapiit Live on one of the overlooked aspects stemming from last month's Suez blockage. Thirty days ago, a ship named Ever Given was sailing in relative anonymity. Twenty-nine days ago, that same ship found itself splashed across the front cover of every national newspaper from London to Lima. In a matter of hours, the ship and its 25 strong crew went from highly skilled seafarers to media targets. In the maelstrom of social media memes, newspaper cover stories and "special reports", one major thing was forgotten, more likely ignored: the crew's mental well-being In a world of social media, everyone is an expert, and never has that been felt more in the maritime industry than now. A frenzy of blame erupted almost instantly with little or no merit or fact-checking, as evidenced by the naming of a female officer as the Ever Given's Captain, regardless of the fact she was over 200 miles away on another vessel. Being a seafarer is a stressful job, irrespective of a global incident, especially when you factor in being away from family for extended periods and working contract to contract with little job security. You also have to cope with fatigue, extreme weather conditions and intense time pressure placed upon the crew and its Master by multiple state and global agencies as well as the ship's own charter. So, add to that taking the "blame' for halting $9.6 billion of trade a day, understandably, stress levels rise astronomically. As an industry, mental health appears still to be very much a taboo topic. Seafarers are more likely to be signed off and dismissed for being deemed 'unfit to serve than they are to receive any form of support. Whilst onboard, the mood will feel somewhat supportive with the crew banding together to keep the ship operating, internally, each and every seafarer, from deckhand to Master will be worrying about their reputation and thus, their employability. my experience as a Captain, your crew is your first line IIdefence any major incident. As soon as something goes awry, they burst IVaction, they're trained to do so, it's instinctive. I have no doubt, everyone aboard the Ever Given did everything Vtheir power to protect that ship and avoid a major incident, but some things are your control. In reality, they will never be praised for saving the ship, only criticised for grounding it. This crew is acutely aware of the issues the incident has caused and they are reminded of it every time they open their phone or computer to read the news or speak to their families, and I feel for every single one of them. nentos.. They're now stuck in an Egyptian lake, further away from their families, without the ability to defend themselves with the threat of civil and criminal charges looming. This downward spiral will undoubtedly be taking its toll on their mental health and in the past, there hasn't been much of a support system in place to help Based on my experience offshore, working for a company that provides mental well-being training, and from all of the feedback, Tapiit has garnered from its live-streamed mental health awareness courses, seafarers want and need this support. Yet, there's a deep-rooted fear that admitting they're struggling and asking for help will be the end of their careers. Of course, the conversation has advanced significantly, however, it's still not where it should be. The harsh reality is, the Ever Given and its crew will be forgotten about in a month or two's time, but this crew is hurting and will continue to struggle with the mental health issues caused by the incident for years to come.

Maersk, the world's largest shipping company, says the Suez Canal blockage's economic fallout will continue into second half of May Kevin Shalvey Apr 11, 2021, 9:01 AM Fallout from the Ever Given's time lodged in the Suez Canal will "ripple" through the economy for the next few weeks or months, according to Maersk, the world's biggest shipping company. "We will see ripple effects continuing into the second half of May," Lars Mikael Jensen, head of Maersk's Global Ocean Network, told The Financial Times. The Ever Given, which is among the world's largest container ships, was lodged in the canal for six days, effectively closing one of the world's most important trade routes. The Ever Given was operated by the Taiwanbased shipping company Evergreen Group. The ship was freed on March 29. Maersk predicted knock-on effects from the blockage. In an updated press advisory posted on Thursday, the company said it was pleased to see that the queue waiting at the canal was rapidly diminishing. "For each day that passes we are getting a clearer picture of what this incident means for our customers," the company said Maersk said about 50 ships had been delayed for about a week because of the blockage. Some of those ships waited on either end of the canal, while others were redirected around the Cape of Good Hope The effects of those delays will be felt in ports around the world, the company said. Its advisory warned that delays may vary by location. Busy ports and terminals may not have berths for ships arriving outside their originally scheduled windows. The company previously said shipping backlog may take months to unravel. "Even when the canal gets reopened, the ripple effects on global capacity and equipment are significant and the blockage has already triggered a series of further disruptions and backlog in global shipping that could take weeks, possibly months, to unravel," Maersk said in a statement back when the Ever Given was still lodged in the canal. (Adapted from https://www.businessinsider.com maersk-ever-givensuez-canal-blockage-economic-fallout-late-may-2021-4) According to the text, it is possible to infer that
  1. A)the prolonged marine blockage at Suez Canal could have spiralled into an economic trouble.
  2. B)the tie-up of shipment caused by the lodged Ever Given would cause customers financial problems.
  3. C)concerted actions to salvage the ship could have averted serious shortages of supplies.
  4. D)the Suez trade route closure has undermined confidence in economy position.
  5. E)success in freeing the Ever Given as soon as possible would significantly boom economy.

"For each day that passes we are getting a clearer picture of what this incident means for our customers," the company said Maersk said about 50 ships had been delayed for about a week because of the blockage. Some of those ships waited on either end of the canal, while others were redirected around the Cape of Good Hope The effects of those delays will be felt in ports around the world, the company said. Its advisory warned that delays may vary by location. Busy ports and terminals may not have berths for ships arriving outside their originally scheduled windows. The company previously said shipping backlog may take months to unravel. "Even when the canal gets reopened, the ripple effects on global capacity and equipment are significant and the blockage has already triggered a series of further disruptions and backlog in global shipping that could take weeks, possibly months, to unravel," Maersk said in a statement back when the Ever Given was still lodged in the canal.
