“Minister wants speedy removal of shipwrecks”

SIBU: Sarawak Rivers Board (SRB) has been urged to expedite the removal of shipwrecks as they pose dangers to navigational safety.

Minister of Environment and Public Health, Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh, who made the call, noted that there were shipwrecks in both Rajang and Igan rivers.

Wong, who is also Second Finance Minister, suggested dredging the river beds at Kerto and Sungai Sadit (Kwong Hua area) be given priority attention in order for ships to navigate easily through them.

“I know that Sarawak Rivers Board has plans and had also set aside budget to remove these shipwrecks. They (shipwrecks) have to be removed as they are navigational hazards.

“As such, I would like to urge them (SRB) to expedite the removal of some of the shipwrecks, particularly those that pose dangers to navigational safety,” he said at the 28th Installation of Sarawak and Sabah Shipowners Association (SSSA) cum Chinese New Year celebration here on Saturday.

He pointed out that the siltation at Kerto and Sungai Sadit areas had made navigational activity difficult.

He told those present that he had informed Natural Resources and Environment Minister Dato Sri Douglas Uggah that for the RM30 million included in the Tenth Malaysia Plan (10MP) for the dredging of Rajang River,  top priority be given to Kerto and Sungai Sadit (Kwong Hua area).

Wong suggested that a joint dialogue session be organised between the Marine Department and ship owners associations both at state and federal levels to work out solutions to facilitate the growth of the shipping industry.

“I believe in consultation, not confrontation. This is a country of harmonious relationship between all races.

“Government officers as facilitators can help provide a more conducive environment and promote the growth of the shipping industry,” he noted.

Organising chairman Yong Ing Hui, in his speech, pointed out that there was a heavy reliance on water transportation in East Malaysia.

Among those present were chairman of Malaysia Shipowners’ Association Dato Nordin Mat Yusoff and president of SSSA Ting Heng Kiong.

“黄顺舸：90%来自外国 砂航海业严缺船员”

（本报诗巫9日讯）砂州第二财长兼环境与公共卫生部长拿督斯里黄顺舸建议与河川局、海事局等单位或机构展开对话，共同探讨东马船东公会面对的困境。

他昨晚出席“东马船东公会第二十八届（2011至2012年度）理事就职暨新春联欢会”时表示，在全国4千500艘注册船只中，东马占其中的3千500艘。东马船东公会会员大约拥有1千400艘船只，占全国注册船只总数的40%。
“我知道船只航运业有很多悬而未决的问题，包括本地人力资源不足。”
他解释，东马有3千500艘注册船只，聘用的海员几乎90%来自外国。
他表示，若船员人数达至2万人，可想而知，聘用的外国海员占多少及成本有多高。
本地船员逐渐老化
他说，由于年轻人不愿从事航海业，本地海员逐渐老化。他认为，应该鼓励年轻人加入航海业。
“诗巫开办航海学院，提供专科训练，由于录取的条件严格且学费昂高，故学生人数不多。公会可与海事局、砂海事学院探讨主办系列航运课程，借此增加本地航运业的人力资源。”
他表示，提供人力资源是一个非常需要的措施，若要增加人力资源就必须有奖励，即参考外国提供海员应有的福利，如免缴税务、所得税及服务税等。
另外，他认为，延迟签发船只注册证书亦是该会面对的困境之一，必须准时更新注册执照。
砂仅1人签发更新执照
他说，砂州有很多船只，但州内只有1名官员授权签发更新执照，给船东带来诸多不便。
他希望政府考虑提供燃油津贴予东马船东公会，让他们与渔船、快艇一样，享有同等福利。
“另一个问题就是缺乏公共码头。在诗巫，我们正策划在陈立广路建码头，惟它不适合停泊大型船只。我们计划在南兰路上段兴建较大型的码头。”
他说，目前已策划兴建陈立广路的码头，惟南兰路上段的码头则需一些时间筹建。
他表示，其它课题包括砂州水域河床日益浅窄，大量淤泥沉淀及船骸未捞起。
他表示，2011年联邦政府已同意拨出3千万令吉作为疏通拉让江河床。依据东马船东公会主席陈亨强所言，彼等希望疏通的重要地点为哥乐淘、光华与罗马安。

江中沉船藏危机
由于拉让江、伊干河中的沉船残骸隐藏危机，他指责河川管理局在处理沉船残骸问题上，存有很大的问题。
此外，他希望尚未加入东马船东公会的船东、船只积极地参与，使该会的组织更强大、更有代表性，为同业反映处境，争取更多会员权益。
“我们一定要对话，不要对抗，以寻求解决方案，而且交通部长拿督江作汉非常愿意帮助大家。”
他说，诗巫补选输了，联邦政府原本有意停止诗巫机场的工程，经过江作汉的大力争取，现在新机场正在扩建中。
他说，很多事情必须通过协商，他将与江作汉安排有关政府部门，尤其是联邦海事局、州海事局及河川局等展开对话，共同探讨解决方案。
首长同意与巫华社对话
他提及，首长丕显斯里泰益玛目已答应与诗巫华社对话。目前身在吉隆坡的首长回来砂州后，将安排有关时间。之前首长已与古晋华社展开对话。
他重申，多元种族的国家不能走极端、不能反抗，人民应该坐下好好商议。
“船运业在诗巫非常重要，特别是对诗巫市场的经济起着很大的催化作用。”
他说，人力、土地、资源是经济活动的3大要素，在多元种族的国度，更重要是社会安定、政治安定等，以稳定基础发展国家经济。

诺汀玛：关注砂沙航运
马船东公会助解决问题
（本报诗巫9日讯）马来西亚船东公会主席拿督诺汀玛尤索夫披露，透过有关执行委员的倡议，该会不时关心沙巴与砂拉越会员的需求，而大部份问题已获得解决。
他昨晚出席“东马船东公会第二十八届（2011至2012年度）理事就职暨新春联欢会”时指出，他受邀出席晚会并担任上宾，有助于提高两会的联系，共同发展健康、可行的国家航运业，促进与保护成员的利益。
“我期待大家共同合作，包括关心所面对的一切课题，让我们携手合作，勇敢面对航运业的发展，特别是未来与现今的挑战。”
他阐述，马来西亚船东公会（MASA）成立至今逾30年，为拓展与维护东马会员的权益，该会分别在砂、沙挑选1名执行委员，作为马来西亚船东公会在2州的代表。
也是国内、亚太区船东代表的他透露，马来西亚船东公会将与东马船东公会合作，并鼓励东马船东公会善用马来西亚船东公会作为平台，为会员争取应有的利益。
“东马船东公会扮演的角色，主要为集合沙、砂小船东加入成为公会会员，壮大公会阵容，着手关注平日面对的本地课题。至于国内或国际课题，将交由马来西亚船东公会负责。”
他指出，近期由大马海事局与马来西亚船东公会联办，刚结束不久的全国各地巡回展览，为良好例子，证实彼等极力向民间推广航运业的利益。
他说，相关活动包括去年12月在沙巴亚庇、砂拉越美里，针对马来西亚船东公会，即东马船东公会会员主办的展览会。该活动提供的资讯，包括2004年压载水管理、2006年海事劳工公约等。
不仅如此，该会也与其它海事相关机构，如马来西亚海事工业协会及马来西亚海事学院等保持密切合作关系。
