BANGALORE CHAPTER
Annual Report for 2010/2011 for Bangalore Chapter of the CMMI
This years activities started with NMD celebrations on 6th April, 2010, celebrated along with the the Institute of Marine Engineers of India at the terrace of Hotel Casa de Bengaluru Marex Bulletin repoted this event as a successfully done event.
In the month of May, Capt.S. Pullat was invited to speak about his pet project Mariners Welfare Guild. He explained at length the aim & functions of the Guild and persuaded the members to join and thereby assist the Maritime community.
In July 2010, Capt. V. Menon, a serving Master of a jack up rig stationed north of Borneo made a presentation on workings of Oil rigs. As expected, the stricken BP rig, the Deep Water Horizon was actively discussed.
In August we had an overseas speaker, Mr. Budha Majumdar. An expert in Port Management, he was senior management in various UK ports and last served as Managing Director of Mersey Docks. He spoke on The role of Ports in Global Logistic Chain. One point became eminently clear that a ports basic function should be for the benefit of the consumer and the supplier, which is far removed from principle that Indian ports follow. Among membership here, there are two ex Chairmen of Indian ports. Both were conspicuous by their absence.
In September, Capt. Vittal, serving with Shell LNG fleet, showed a Black Box recording of a near miss collision. For a sailing officer, there was a lesson to be learnt. But for us old timers, it was an experience to observe to what length responsible companies like Shell will go to drill in safety into every officers mind. Capt. Vittal also took time to show a video made by UKs Royal Fleet Auxiliarys system of dealing with attempted boarding of Pirates without actually resorting to aggression.
Capt. Sambit Misra, past Chairman, spoke in October on Ship to ship transfer of petroleum cargoes. He has extensive experience in this aspect of ship operation. This and some audio visual product made a very good presentation.
In the month of November, one BBC feature film named Longitude was shown to the members. The film was the dramatised version of the historical account of the development of the Chronometer for determining longitude at sea.
Fifth of January we held our New Year Cocktails to usher the New Year in. Substantial drop in the number of attendees was noticed but did not cause undue concern at that time.
Due to his travel schedule elsewhere, Capt. Indrajit Singh, one of the founder members of our Company was halting in Bangalore for one night. This opportunity was taken to arrange a function at the Koramangala Club, to felicitate him and also introduce the members of this Chapter. Unfortunately, despite adequate notice, only five members turned up for the function.Capt. R.R. Sengupta,

CHENNAI CHAPTER
Chennai Chapter had an eventful year, with very enthusiastic support from the vibrant membership. All programs and seminars were well attended and the quality of interaction was very good. An educational visit was arranged on the Ocean Research Vessel Sagar Nidhi which was at Chennai port. The vessel is one of the most modern vessels in India, with a plethora of ultra-modern navigational and scientific equipment. To many of those who had quit sea life a while ago, it was indeed a memorable visit.On 9th July 2010, we then had a seminar where Capt Satish Raja presented his experiences and navigational intricacies while in Command of the Sagar Nidhi on the first ever Antarctic Ocean expedition successfully carried out by an Indian vessel. It was indeed an enlightening and awe inspiring presentation. A seminar on Modern Marine Communications Systems and Futuristic Navigational Technology was conducted at Hotel Quality Inn Marina Towers, attended by over 60 members. Mr Anshul Khanna, MD, Station Satcom, made a presentation on modern communication systems on board ships. It was followed by a thought provoking presentation by Capt Neel J Nair describing how the next generation marine communication systems could in fact make remote controlled vessels a reality. The discussions that followed was none less than passionate. To cool off, there was a pop music program from Chennai Beatles who took the participants on a nostalgic trip into the 1960s and 70s. The event was sponsored by Stratos.The Annual Day was celebrated with an Onam theme party on 22nd Aug 2010 with many guests dressed in vibrant Kerala attire. A wonderful cultural show was put up by Ms.Arathi Narayanan (daughter of the Chapter Chairman Capt P.B.Narayanan) and her friends. There was also very vibrant music from Mrs. Geetha Sadanand, Mrs. Lathika Rajagopal, Mrs. Dhanya Gangadharan (all wives of our members) as well as a spontaneous program from film actor Ms.Lakshmi Sharma (sister of our member). There was lots of games, music and dance, cocktails and a sumptuous dinner going into the wee hours dawn. In January, in partnership with the Nautical Institute (South India), we had a seminar where Mr. N. Venkateswaran, DNV Academy Manager (India) delievered a presentation on Maritime Labour Convention, 2006. A peep into this soon to be ratified convention was an eye opener to both mariners and managers alike.
Recently, we had yet another interesting seminar presented by Capt Neel J Nair (Secretary, CMMI-Chennai), Capt. S.Bhardwaj (Vice Chancellor - AMET University) and Mr Ajay Putran (Director, AMET Cruises). The subject of presentation and discussion was the luxury RoRo Passenger vessel purchased by AMET University to train 210 deck and engine cadets as well as operate a luxury cruise operation out of India. Both the idea of training of cadets on such vessels as well as the idea of developing a luxury cruise industry in India was actively discussed by the participants.
