NEWS Dr. Hermann J. Klein in conversation with the Queen of Sweden CHILDHOOD CHARITY A Good Deed for Children in Need For the “Hanseatic Lloyd Dragon Grand Prix Germany” at the beginning of July in Kiel Bay, more than 60 sailing crews from many different countries battled it out for the trophy. This time, the winners of the Dragon regatta came from the Ukraine: Sergei Pichugin, Sergei Timovkhov and Dimitri Yarmolenka secured overall victory by grabbing first place in the sixth and final race. The social and media highlight of the Grand Prix was an integrated benefit gala for the World Childhood Foundation, the Charity Golf&Race. The Foundation’s founder, Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden, in the company of her husband, His Majesty King Carl XVI. Gustaf, were pleased at the betting fervour – no doubt heated up further by the summer temperatures – that was exhibited by the guests during the evening banquet, which followed the golf tournament and regatta. The auctioning of attractive prizes, such as a Mediterranean cruise on the MS Germany and a zippy two-seater car, generated proceeds of over 135,000 euros for Childhood Charity. Queen Silvia personally thanked all the bidders and explained the aims and activities of her charity organization. The World 13. SEA SHIPPING DAY IN HAREN Shortage of Captains a Big Hurdle A key topic at this year’s Sea Shipping Day in Haren was the decline in the reflagging of ships that had been sailing under foreign flags for German shipowners. In fact, from the beginning of the year until the end of July, the number of vessels operated by German shipping companies under foreign flags increased by almost twenty percent from 1751 to 2086. Over the same period, the official statistics reflected a weakening from 447 to 429 ships under the German flag. The main reason for this negative development is the “Ordinance on Safe Manning”, which prescribes German or European management personnel on board. The guest speaker, Dr. Hermann J. Klein, Executive Board Member of 6 nonstop 3/2006 The summer sun shone brightly on the competitors in the regatta Childhood Foundation is active worldwide for the rights of children and in particular strives to improve the living conditions of needy children. “Childhood” supports 75 projects in 15 countries, such as Brazil, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Russia as well as Bolivia, Germany, Ecuador, Moldavia, Sweden, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, the Ukraine and the USA. Each project is unique and is developed to meet the specific needs of vulnerable children in very different environments. Common to all Childhood projects is the intention to reach the most vulnerable children, the ones most often ignored and forgotten, such as street children, children in institutions and children at risk from sexual abuse and exploitation. “Childhood’s goal is to protect children from ongoing abuse through prevention, intervention and education. We strive to give children a safe living environment and proper care,” says the Queen, adding: “We support the children as they acquire the skills, knowledge and the self-esteem necessary to offer them a chance of a happy and productive future as human beings.” The dedication and personal commitment of the Queen was met with prolonged applause. Germanischer Lloyd, highlighted the maritime significance of Haren on the Ems river in East Frisia. Through the entire region, more than 600 ships are managed by over 60 shipping companies. In Haren alone, there are 353 sea shipping companies and 45 inland waterway firms. Technical innovations, together with the increased fostering of young engineers and a broad training programme for nautical careers are needed to cope with the expected growth.
COLUMBUS AWARD New Perspective Acclaimed Unusual job advertisements were awarded prizes by “VDI Nachrichten”, Germany’s leading journal for engineers, at the Küppersmühle Museum in Duisburg towards the end of June. The “Egg of Columbus” in silver was won by Germanischer Lloyd’s image advertisement.
