IMO Scribe Dominguez Sets To Grace Regional Forum On Effective Implementation Of STCW Convention In Manila

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) Secretary-General, Arsenio Dominguez , is expected to be in Manila, Philippines, from 17 to 19 February, 2026, to grace the Regional Forum on the Effective Implementation of the STCW (International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers) Convention and Code, to be held at Okada Manila.

The high-level forum, organized by the IMO in cooperation with the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) of the Republic of the Philippines, carries the theme: “Navigating Change: Regional Action on STCW Compliance.”

It will gather maritime administrations, policymakers, and industry stakeholders from across the Asia-Pacific region.

Dominguez’s presence underscores the strategic importance of the Philippines in the global maritime workforce. As one of the largest suppliers of seafarers worldwide, the country plays a critical role in ensuring effective implementation of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978, as amended.

The forum aims to strengthen harmonized implementation of the STCW Convention amid ongoing transformations in the maritime sector driven by decarbonization efforts, technological innovation, and increased emphasis on the human element at sea.

Discussions are expected to touch on emerging fuels, new maritime technologies, regulatory developments, and measures to prevent violence and harassment onboard ships.

The three-day event is expected to reinforce collective regional action to ensure that training institutions, maritime administrations, and industry stakeholders remain aligned with evolving global standards.

As host nation, the Philippines stands at the forefront of the discussions — reaffirming its commitment to producing competent, resilient, and globally competitive seafarers.

Dear Nigerians,

Effective February 13, 2026, I signed Executive Order 9 of 2026 to restore what rightfully belongs to the Nigerian people.

For too long, excessive deductions, overlapping funds, and structural distortions in our oil and gas sector have weakened what should accrue to the Federation Account. When revenues meant for federal, state, and local governments are trapped in layers of charges and retention structures, development slows and trust erodes.

That must end.

With this Order, now officially gazetted, all Royalty Oil, Tax Oil, Profit Oil, Profit Gas, and other government entitlements under Production Sharing and related contracts will be paid directly into the Federation Account.

The additional 30 percent management fee and the 30 percent Frontier Exploration deduction will no longer stand between Nigeria and its lawful revenues.

This is about transparency, accountability, and full constitutional compliance.

As we strengthen security, invest in education, expand healthcare, stabilise our economy, and advance our energy transition, every legitimate naira due to the Federation must be protected.

NNPC Limited will operate strictly as a commercial enterprise, as intended by law. The era of duplicative deductions and fragmented oversight is over.

We will also undertake a comprehensive review of the Petroleum Industry Act to correct structural and fiscal anomalies. I have also approved the establishment of an Implementation Committee to oversee and ensure the effective, coordinated implementation of the executive order.

Nigeria can no longer afford leakage where there should be leadership.

We are safeguarding the Federation Account.
We are strengthening our budget.
We are acting in the national interest.

This was my promise to Nigerians when I asked for this job.

Nigeria First.

I thank you all.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces

Understanding Ship Load Lines: A Guide for Ship Lovers

Load line is a special marking positioned amidships which depicts the draft of the vessel and the maximum permitted limit in distinct types of waters to which the ship can be loaded.

As a result of the numerous accidents that has happened at sea due to over-loading of vessels, the significance of having a standard maximum limit for ships was identified long before. However, it took many years from then to have an International agreement for the universal application of Load lines. It was at 1930 when the first International Load Line Convention took place, after which it was periodically amended until the latest one that happened in 2003.

In order to make a complete comprehension about Load Lines, we must address the following questions:-

What is the purpose of Load Line?
Why is it necessary for ships to have Load Lines?
What exactly is a Load Line?
What are the marking on a Load line?
What are the different types of Load Lines?

Purpose and Necessity of Load Lines

The fundamental purpose of a Load Line is to allot a maximum legal limit upto which a ship can be loaded. By prescribing such limits, the risk of having the vessel sailing with inadequate freeboard and buoyancy can be limited. A vessel should be having sufficient freeboard at all times, any exceptions made will result in insufficient stability and excessive stress on the ship’s hull. This is where load lines play an important role, as it makes the task of detecting whether the vessel is over-loaded and it’s freeboard tremendously easy and effortless.

However, since the buoyancy and immersion of the vessel largely depends on the type of water and it’s density, it is not practical to define a standard freeboard limit for the ship at all times. For this reason, the convention has put regulations which divides the world into different geographical zones each having different prescribed load line.

For example, A vessel sailing in Winter on North Atlantic Ocean will have a greater freeboard than on a voyage in Tropical Zones and Fresh waters.

Load Line

As we have already defined above, Load Line is a special marking positioned amidships. All vessels of 24 meters and more are required to have this Load line marking at the centre position of the length of summer load water line.

There are two types of Load line markings:-

Standard Load Line marking – This is applicable to all types of vessels.
Timber Load Line Markings – This is applicable to vessels carrying timber cargo.

These marks shall be punched on the surface of the hull making it visible even if the ship side paint fades out. The marks shall again be painted with white or yellow colour on a dark background / black on a light background. The complete Load line markings consist of 3 vital parts.

Deck Line – It is a horizontal line measuring 300mm by 25mm. It passes through the upper surface of the freeboard.
Load Line Disc – It is 300mm diameter and 25mm thick round shaped disc. It is intersected by a horizontal line. The upper edge of the horizontal line marks the ‘Summer salt water line’ also known as ‘Plimsol Line’.
Load Lines – Load lines are horizontal lines extending forward and aft from a vertical line placed at a distance of 540mm from the centre of the disc. They measure 230mm by 23mm. The upper surfaces of the load lines indicate the maximum depths to which the ships maybe submerged in different seasons and circumstances.

S – Summer :- It is the basic freeboard line at the same level as the Plimsol Line. Other load lines are marked based on this Summer freeboard line.

T – Tropical :- It is 1/48th of summer draft marked above the Summer load line.

W – Winter :- It is 1/48th of summer draft marked below the Summer load line.

WNA – Winter North Atlantic :- It is marked 50mm below the Winter load line. It applies to voyages in North Atlantic ( above 36 degrees of latitude) during winter months.

F – Fresh Water :- It is the summer fresh water load line. The distance between S and F is the Fresh Water Allowance (FWA).

TF – Tropical Fresh Water :- It is the fresh water load line in Tropical. It is marked above the T at an amount equal to FWA.

Timber Load Line Markings

Ships engaged in the timber deck cargo trade are required to have a special set of Load lines known as the Timber Load Lines. Such vessels shall comply with the Code of Safe Practices for Ships Carrying Timber Deck Cargo in construction and other requirements obtaining greater reserve buoyancy and lesser summer freeboard.

Timber cargo vessels will have a second set of Load Lines marked similar to the standard load lines positioned 540mm abaft the centre loadline disc.

The letter marking of the timber loadline are different and are prefixed by ‘L’ meaning ‘Lumber’.

LS – Lumber Summer :- Its upper edge marks the summer salt water timber loadline. It is situated at a specified level above the Plimsol line.

LW – Lumber Winter :- It is 1/36th of the lumber summer draft below LS.

LT – Lumber Tropical :- It is 1/48th of the lumber summer draft above LS.

LWNA – Lumber Winter North Atlantic :- It is at the same level as WNA.

LF – Lumber Fresh water :- It is situated above the LS by an amount equal FWA.

LTF – Lumber Tropical Fresh Water :- It is positioned above LT by an amount equal to FWA.

Certification

Every ship that has been surveyed and marked in accordance with the present Load line convention are issued by the authorized administration, an International Load Line Certificate. The certificate will have a validity of not more than 5 years and will contain all vital information that includes the assigned freeboard and fresh water allowance.

It is to be noted that, after completion of a load line survey and issuance of the certificate; no changes shall be made to the super structure, markings, equipments or arrangements that has been covered under the survey. If such changes need to be made, the authorized authority conducting the survey shall be contacted.
