Burgas
BMF Port Burgas EAD is a private-owned port operator of terminal Burgas East 2 and terminal Burgas West, part of the national public port of Burgas, Republic of Bulgaria. On June 5 2019 of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Bulgaria decided to expand the duration of the concession term of both of the terminals from 35 to 46 years and 8 months each. A couple of days ago, we took an opportunity to talk with Mr. Boris Balev, CEO of BMF Port Burgas EAD, who provided us with invaluable insight into the company’s business and development plans and their most important projects on the horizon. Mr. Balev, how much money and in what directions are your investments in the development of BMF Port Burgas since 2012? The investments that will be realized for the 2021 amount to nearly 8 million euros. With them, the total amount of investments since 2012 is approximately 158 million euros. I dare say that with these funds we have completely transformed the two terminals of the Port of Burgas since they were given to us for management and operation. We have talked many times about the facilities we have built and modernized in the port in the past, so I will focus on what is new for this year. We have put into operation a new installation for discharging oil bitumen from ships to railway cars and tank trucks. We strive not only to constantly increase the number of available equipment, but also to modernize it to such with modern technologies for energy efficiency. We are constantly working towards expanding and modernizing the storage areas in the terminals. The project for expansion of our silo complex is going well so far. This year we built 2 more silos, 5,100 m3 each. The construction of another 2 is forthcoming. The total capacity of the complex after the completion of the construction activities will be 119,000 m3. The implementation of this project allowed us to mark a number of strong months in the processing of cereals this year. Interview in English: https://maritime1.com/65710/

JIN HAI HUA
Captain Shishir Nishikant Patange, a pilot of the Deendayal Port Authority, has secured an arrest warrant against the 'Jin Hai Hua' over a personal injury claim. He was dispatched to undock the vessel from the Deendayal Port Jetty on the afternoon of March 4, 2024. While mounting the ship’s gangway, it overturned and collapsed, which resulted in him falling onto the wharf. His left wrist was severely severed, crushed, and fractured. He was immediately rushed to a hospital for treatment, where doctors told him that there would be permanent loss of mobility in his left hand, even after surgery. This injury meant he was unable to function successfully as a pilot. Patange accused the 'Jin Hai Hua' and its owners of breach of duty by failing to maintain proper rigging and monitoring of the gangway. He was suing the ship and its owners for $822,000 for pain, suffering and the loss of income he would expect to have earned until retiring at age 65. He was also suing for legal costs and interest and still assessing the full extent of the damages and reserves his right to increase the amount of the claim. The lawyers also noted that as Patange was injured while on duty, the Deendayal Port Authority has taken responsibility for his injuries. When applying for the vessel’s arrest, Patange said there was a danger the port authority may permit the ship to depart once investigations have been concluded. The arrest will likely be lifted once security is lodged with the court by the ship’s protection and indemnity provider which was the UK P&I Club. The ship shifted to Kandla anchorage on March 9, where it remained stationary as of March 15.
