Topic: A Ship to India

	Ship prefix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A ship prefix is a combination of letters, usually abbreviations, used in front of the name of a civilian or naval ship.
		Today the common practice is to use a single prefix for all warships of a nation's navy, and other prefixes for auxiliaries and ships of allied services, such as coast guards.
		The use of ship prefixes is not universal; in particular neither the Third Reich's Kriegsmarine nor the Imperial Japanese Navy used ship prefixes.

	Star of India (ship) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Star of India was built in 1863 as Euterpe, a full-rigged iron ship in Ramsey, Isle of Man.
		Named for Euterpe, the muse of music, she was a full-rigged (royals and double topsails) iron ship built in 1863 by Gibson, McDonald and Arnold, of Ramsey, Isle of Man, British Isles, for the Indian jute trade of Wakefield Nash and Company of Liverpool.
		In 1926, Star of India was sold to the Zoological Society of San Diego, California, to be the centerpiece of a planned museum and aquarium.

	Ship 'too dangerous' for India
		New Delhi - India's supreme court banned an asbestos-laden French warship on Monday from entering the country's waters before February 13, when a ruling is due on whether it can be scrapped there, said lawyers.
		The watchdog group says most sea-going ships end their service at ship breaking yards in India, Bangladesh, China and Pakistan, where they are cut up by unprotected workers, taking a grim toll on human health and the environment.
		The Egyptian government had accepted the French argument that the ship was still government property rather than scrap and that the aircraft carrier therefore did not fall under the Basel Convention.

	CHIRAC RECALLS ASBESTOS-LADEN SHIP FROM INDIA, ORDERS INQUIRY
		Environmental groups, which had lobbied against sending the ship to India on the grounds that Indian shipbreakers lack the safety equipment necessary to deal with cancer-causing asbestos, hailed the decision as a victory for efforts to halt the export of hazardous wastes to developing countries, as well as for Indian workers.
		The ship was halted en route to India in January, after an Indian Supreme Court committee made an interim report recommending that the ship not be allowed to enter Indian waters.
		It also suggested that the transfer of the ship to India violated the Basel Convention's stipulation forbidding signatories to undertake transboundary shipments of hazardous waste without assurances that the destination facility meets its definition of environmentally sound management.

	BBC NEWS \| South Asia \| Stay out, India tells toxic ship
		Chairman of the monitoring committee, G Thyagrajan, said the decision to ask the ship to stay outside Indian waters was not final.
		The committee also felt the ship violated the Basel Convention on hazardous waste, which prevents transportation of hazardous material from one country to another.
		But operators at the shipyard, who say dismantling the ship is a lucrative deal, believe Alang is well-equipped to handle bigger ships than the Clemenceau.

	Toxic Ship Heads For India
		India is becoming a dumping ground for the toxic garbage of the West which finds it too harmful to handle, too polluting to retain, and too expensive to clean up.
		The ship is owned by the French government (till the demolition is complete) which, being the actual signatory to the Basel Convention, should have taken the lead in enforcing it but is itself not only flouting its international obligations but also engaging in various subterfuges to circumvent them.
		France sold the ship to SDIC which was to remove all hazardous materials including all visible and accessible asbestos without, of course, affecting the ship’s "structural integrity", that is, its ability to float to its destination.

	Sailing Ship INDIA The Immigrants
		The ships surgeon was usually given the responsibility of selecting fit and healthy immigrants and for keeping them in that condition for their arrival in Australia.

		During the confusion of the burning of the India Ann Robertson became separated from baby Agnes and was relieved to find her safe in the arms of the Captain, who had taken her in charge.

		Welcome aboard the TT Jahre Viking, a ship so huge that when fully laden she can not pass through the 32-mile-wide English channel that separates England from France, what to speak of the Suez and Panama canals.
		Built in 1979 for a Greek shipping magnate towards the fag-end of the super tanker boom that followed the oil embargo of 1973, her original owner went bankrupt even before she put out to sea.
		Surprisingly, for a ship her size, the Jahre Viking packs in a rather small crew of 40, about the same number as aboard two Air India Jumbos.

		Jayaraman speculated that the vessel was "renamed and reflagged to escape identification." The group charged PandO Nedlloyd with "sneaking in" its toxic ship to India's Alang port.
		PandO Nedlloyd's ships were targeted by environmental activists to highlight the hazardous nature of shipbreaking and the "insensitivity of shipowners" who continue to export their toxic ships to Asia despite full knowledge of the horrendous labour and working conditions here.
		Its earlier ship "Discovery Bay" was found in Alang in October 1998 by a Greenpeace team investigating the yard.

		Euterpe was a full-rigged ship and would remain so until 1901, when the Alaska Packers Association rigged her down to a barque, her present rig.
		It was rugged voyaging, with the little iron ship battling through terrific gales, "labouring and rolling in a most distressing manner," according to her log.
		She is sailed and maintained by a volunteer crew that trains year-round, keeping not only the ship but also the skills to sail her alive.

	UK's own ghost ship in India \| Greenpeace International
		All ships containing toxic waste should be cleaned at their site of origin, providing adequate health and safety technologies are available locally, before being sent anywhere for shipbreaking, and particularly before being sent to developing countries.
		Representatives of these nations regularly place the interests of the shipping and oil industries before health and safety issues, and their membership dues are reportedly sometimes paid by the industries themselves.
		We need YOUR help to spot these ships and identify other ships that are in danger of sailing towards the beaches of Asia without being decontaminated.

		"India would be a party to violation of the Basel Convention on movement of hazardous wastes if it allows the ship anywhere near the country's exclusive economic zone," SCMC chairman G Thyagarajan told reporters after a meeting of the committee here.
		The estimate on asbestos on board the aircraft carrier, on way to the Alang ship breaking yard in Gujarat, varies from 50 to 500 tonnes and the information available on the ship and its cargo was "incomplete and unhelpful", he said.
		In view of information from media and other sources, it would not be proper to welcome the ship in India as the vessel of its size and reported hazardous cargo on board might cause immense ecological damage, Thyagarajan said.
