EUROPEAN MARITIME DAY - MEDIA REVIEW

 

Poole Lighthouse is the venue for European Maritime Day in May 2017

OCEAN LITERACY & BLUE GROWTH - One of the recurring themes of this years EMD was 'Ocean Literacy.' The fact is, and it is a recognised problem, that most people on the planet are not aware of today's marine issues, save for the occasional shock news report such as that recently reported about Henderson Island, that is soon forgotten.

 

Blue Growth is a tagline that has now caught on and an agenda that is being pushed in Europe as a world lead, though Australia is also hot on the trail with their Blue Economy challenge.

 

One of the problems stopping real progress is that innovation comes from SMEs and that they are strapped for cash, where the giant food stakeholders appear not to be engaging, but only taking onboard the ideas of the SMEs once the SMEs have sunk without trace from being underfunded and encouraged to proceed regardless of the fact that there is no safety net for those who are brave (or stupid) enough to give it a go.

 

Our representative reported on the event, telling of the congestion in Poole that slows transport down to a crawl that London drivers would curse at and even the blue rinse brigades in Brighton and Eastbourne would have a few cross words to say. That, coupled with delays on the A and M27, and a sudden spot downpour brought nervous drivers to a standstill. How would they cope in a storm at sea!

 

Regardless of the transport congestion, the 10th EMD conference was held to successfully organized with over 600 participants attended the conference, including plenary sessions, stakeholder workshops, exhibitions and project presentations. The conference is followed by the Poole Maritime Festival (18-21 May 2017), engaging the general public and celebrating Poole and Dorset's local maritime heritage and environment.

 

 

 

 

 

DAILY ECHO 19 MAY 2017

THE first day of the European Maritime Day conference took place yesterday with around 1,000 delegates drawn to the Lighthouse.

One of the largest maritime events in Europe, the prestigious two-day conference continues today to address the EU’s Integrated Maritime Policy promoting economic growth, skills, technological innovation, environmental concerns and sustainability across Europe.

Opening the day was the Rt Hon John Hayes CBE - minister for shipping of the UK. It is the first time the event has been held in the UK.

Leader of Borough of Poole, councillor Janet Walton said: “Over the last 10 years, European Maritime Day has tackled various key themes such as maritime policy, innovation, sustainable growth and investment. It seems fitting that with a changing political landscape, environmental challenges and budgetary pressures, this year’s theme is ‘The Future of our Seas’.”

There were also speeches from Karmenu Vella, European Commissioner for environment, maritime affairs and fisheries and campaign director Barbara Jackson (also CEO of Race For the Baltic).

It has formed part of the Poole Maritime Festival which continues into this weekend.

The History of Poole Maritime in 30 Minutes Flat Show will be performed at various locations until Sunday containing Vikings, pirates, and the D-Day landings.

Tomorrow Valise Noise Storytelling Theatre present CARGO - an outdoor performance bringing The Great Quay to life.

From today until Sunday the Poole Harbour Boat Show, organised by Poole Harbour Commissioners in association with Sunseeker, promises to be even bigger than previous years, featuring more than 200 exhibitors showcasing sail and motorboats of all sizes.

This year’s Seven Seas Festival features live entertainment and the Poole Harbour Big Wheel at Harbourside Park until Sunday.

POOLE BOROUGH COUNCIL 20 MAY 2017

 

From Poole to Burgas – European Maritime Day sets sail for another year.

After an insightful and exciting two-day conference, at which nearly 1,000 delegates from across the UK and Europe attended, European Maritime Day has come to a close for another year. 

Celebrating ten years this year the event has tackled a variety of key themes, such as maritime policy, innovation, sustainable growth and investment, since its start in 2007.

This year’s theme of ‘The Future of our Seas’ was considered extremely fitting in light of the changing political landscape and environmental challenges that faces Europe and the UK both now and in the near future. 

Focusing on the interplay between driving growth in the maritime economy, and sustainability protecting the seas and oceans for future generations, the conference, which took place at Poole’s Lighthouse, was enjoyed by all those present. 

Mayor of Poole, Cllr Lindsay Wilson, closed the two-day event, thanking all those that have supported the conference before passing the baton on to next year’s host: “I would like to convey my thanks to all speakers, exhibitors, Borough of Poole staff, volunteers, and many others, who have helped make 2017’s European Maritime Day such a successful and pleasurable event. 

“I am delighted to hand over the baton to Ruska Boyadzhieva, Deputy Mayor of Burgas, and I wish Bulgaria every success with their European Maritime Day in 2018, when they will host this prestigious event.

"On behalf of everyone in Poole, I would like to thank the Mayor of Burgas for the special gift to the people of Poole."

The Mayor presented Ruska Boyadzhieva, Deputy Mayor of Burgas, with a custom-made decorative plate from local pottery manufacturers, Poole Pottery. 

Andrew Flockhart, Chief Executive, Borough of Poole, is thankful to the people of Poole for their support throughout the festival. “It has been a great honour for Poole to host European Maritime Day 2017, and the world-renowned conference has truly put Poole on the map. 

“Borough of Poole is proud to have hosted such a respected and significant conference, and I hope that such a resounding success will pave the way for future events across Poole.” 

European Maritime Day will be hosted by Burgas, Bulgaria in May 2018.

CREATION - The European Maritime Day (EMD) was officially created on 20 May 2008 where the President of the European Parliament Hans-Gert Pöttering, Council President Janez Janša, and Commission President José Manuel Barroso signed a Joint Tripartite Declaration establishing it.

 

 

SEATRADE MARITIME NEWS 18 MAY 2017 - EMD PROTEST

 

UK maritime union RMT staged a protest over seafarer employment practices outside the 10th European Maritime Day conference taking place in Poole today. 

As part of its Save Our Seafarers 2020 campaign designed to protect UK seafarer jobs, RMT is highlighting a number of perceived injustices. It claims that 56% of the 500,000-plus seafarers who work in European waters “are non-EU nationals on poverty pay”, while of the 87,000 Ratings jobs in the UK shipping industry only 10% are held by UK seafarers.

Particular target of the protest was a local ferry company alleged to be practising low-cost crewing by employing non-EU seafarers. while other recent instances of substandard Indian-flagged and –crewed vessels found operating in the North Sea have added to RMT’s concerns.

 

 

 

 

 

The union’s argument runs that vessels operating almost exclusively in UK waters or on the UK continental shelf should be subject to the same employment conditions – including a national minimum wage level - as UK land-based industries in the interests of fair competition.

Furthermore, the number of UK Ratings has fallen by 25% since 2011, RMT claims. With some 3,000 more UK Ratings set to retire by 2020, if training and employment have not increased by then the country will find itself exposed to “negative economic, social and security effects of a maritime skills deficit.”

RMT’s national secretary Steve Todd stated: “Our objective is simple – a guaranteed future for the UK shipping industry based on the development of a skilled and expanded domestic workforce that will secure the economy of areas like Poole well into the future."

Separately, officers’ union Nautilus International is lobbying UK political parties ahead of next month’s general election to commit to supporting British shipping and the employment and training of British seafarers, in order to protect the jobs and livelihoods of the country’s 23,000 seafarers.

Specifically, Nautilus says it is vital that the next government takes urgent action to implement the recommendations of the Maritime Growth Study (Mountevans Report) and to adopt the SMarT Plus proposals for improved seafarer training support. By Bob Jaques

THE FUTURE OF OUR SEAS

 

Maritime Day is celebrated on the 20th of May each year to mark the day it was officially launched in 2008.

The event centres around a two-day Maritime Conference that brings together experts and stakeholders from all different maritime sectors including shipbuilding, shipping, ports, fisheries, offshore energy, environment, tourism and heritage to address the major challenges they face. Economic growth, climate change, sustainable energy and environmental pressures on the coasts and seas are all topical issues that may be raised.

Poole is to host the event to boost the town’s position amongst the maritime community across Europe. The council submitted a formal proposal to be considered by the European Commission for Maritime Affairs and was successful in their bid. The event is hosted by a different country each year. Previous host cities have included Brussels, Rome, Gothenburg, Athens and Bremen.

Councillor Xena Dion, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for the Local Economy, Tourism and Transportation, Borough of Poole, is quoted as saying: "This hugely important conference is normally accompanied by a maritime festival lasting several days and gives us the opportunity to really celebrate Poole’s maritime heritage and showcase what we have to offer in Poole on a scale never seen before. This is a time to bring in the tall ships, flotillas, a pageant, international shipping, yacht and power boat racing, interactive maritime events, nautical festivities and so much more."

 

 

 

 

THEMATIC STAKEHOLDER WORKSHOP

The thematic stakeholder workshops are at the core of the conference to be held at the "Lighthouse" Arts & Conference Centre in Poole, UK on 18 & 19 May 2017.

 

There will be 27 separate workshop sessions delivered over the 1.5 days of the conference, during 4 separate parallel sessions – 3 parallel sessions will take place on Day 1 and one parallel session will be on Day 2 (please see programme outline). Of these, 25 workshop sessions will follow a core theme with a standard workshop format, while 2 sessions with ‘pitch presentations’ will allow for a number of presentations to be delivered. All 27 sessions are related to one of the four core conference themes, although some overlap of these themes is expected:

* Innovation and growth (9 workshops)
* People and skills (7 workshops, including 1 pitch presentation workshop)
* Safety and security (2 workshops)
* Sustainability and governance (9 workshops, including 1 pitch presentation workshop)


The 27 workshops will take place in parallel over the course of the 4 separate parallel workshop sessions. These will take place:

 

Session 1: Thursday 18 May – 13.30-15.00
Session 2: Thursday 18 May – 15.15-16.45
Session 3: Thursday 18 May – 17.00-18.30

As part of the conference planning, a mail with the final list of workshops will be sent beginning of April to already registered delegates in order to evaluate the attendance wishes and to plan for conference logistics.

 

A Workshop Summary and Reflections Session will take place on Day 2 of the conference and a guidance for preparation of this session will be sent to workshop organisers.

 

 

 

 

 

VEOLIA 20 MAY 2017 - HOW 

 

The European Maritime Day was celebrated on 20 May for the 10th consecutive year, and brought together over 1,000 stakeholders and maritime professionals from throughout Europe at Poole, in the United Kingdom, to discuss "The Future of our Seas". This topic is a key concern for Veolia, which helps to protect the sea from many sources of pollution, particularly in France and the United Kingdom, thanks to the dismantling and recycling of maritime structures no longer in use.

In partnership with Peterson, the Group can provide an A-to-Z service including decontamination, deconstruction, waste management and environmental services, combined with logistics operations at sea and in the docks. Two examples:

* At the Lutelandet facility in south west Norway, Veolia is dismantling and recycling the 14,000 tons of the YME facility, with a length of 72 meters and a height of 87 meters. YME contains precious metals, iron, steel and electrical equipment, for which Veolia organises a new life.

* In England at the Great Yarmouth site, the Group recycles 96% of materials from offshore platforms at end-of-life. In the last decade, the Veolia-Peterson joint venture has recovered over 80,000 tons of materials with an "excellent" level of quality, according to an environmental assessment.


In Bordeaux port, 90% of the materials of the former «Jeanne d’Arc », the 9,000-ton former training vessel of the French Marines, were dismantled and recycled to the benefit of several sectors: iron for steelworks, non-ferrous metals for foundries, electronic equipment and fluids via specialist treatment centers. It took 16 months to remove asbestos from the hull, and six months to cut, prepare and reuse materials and eliminate any final waste.
The former cruiser of the French Marines, the "Colbert", reached Bordeaux in June 2016, and is currently in the dismantling and recycling process.
