Special surveys are a delicate issue in terms of constituting a packed work schedule. One can only cross fingers that the time invested will be long lasting in order to maintain our vessels at our ambitious standards. Nevertheless, the time invested at shipyard stays prove to be the most effective repair times, especially when performed in our home grounds of Tuzla bay.
Pictured from left to right. Capt. Ömer Balta (Operation Manager) and Aydin Yilmaz (Technical Manager) during a short break on the “balcony” enjoy the unusually mild climate in these December days, whilst the Atlantis Araceli is undergoing her special survey and other modifications. They have become the backbone of our operator team in bringing this fleet vessel to a better performance and new glamour. Our sincere thanks to their inalienable efforts.

The dinners origin started with the crisis that shadowed and still shadows the shipping markets since the fall of Lehman Brothers. Shipping community activities where high until the end of 2008, Bureau Veritas was conducting annual committee meetings and various other opportunities to socialize. All of that was cut off with a razor blade.
But the relationship between two companies was too strong to maintain the silence and in 2014 their managing directors Cafer Tekkan and Lorenz Weinstabl decided to come together for a semi-annual dinner at which management and related staff members would join.
There were two main topics at our sixth event that was hosted again at Turgut Vidanli’s Çarşı Fish restaurant in Beşiktaş: the experience of building ships in Turkey after years of a newbuilding crisis, in result a rather bold matter to see that shipyards and their subservicing industry have lost most of their reflexes, know-how and personal substances in construction of ships. The second one was even more sad, that the amount of Turkish tanker owners had dropped by 1/3 in the past 6 years and that from the remaining 2/3 the majority was struggling with huge debts and organizational problems. Expectations are that in 2 year’s time more than half of Turkish tanker owners will have excited the market.

The mascot of Efes Pilsen somehow knew who to reward with a basket of flowers. Captain Memduh Aydin, in charge of trainings at Armona, put in weeks of hard work to prepare the company run seminar. He looked rather overwhelmed than overjoyed by the situation.
The picture was taken at the Euroleague Basketball match between Istanbul’s Efes Pilsen and Olimpia Milan. Luckily the host won 73:68. Pictured in the background are some of the 40 sea and shore staff of Armona who joined the event.

Wow, we reached number 8…This time the Company Run Seminar was held at the company’s new head office between 29th and 30th of November, with a participation of over 40 seafarers.
External speakers presented various topics such as Safety Equipment’s, Cargo Tank Coating Repairs, Changing Marine Culture, Energy Efficiency Issues. Both days were followed by a cocktail which both vessel and office staff attended. These social gatherings provided an opportunity for the people to get closer to each other and also for the vessel and office personnel to discuss current matters. On the eve of the second day, sea and shore staff attended a Euroleague basketball game to chill out after two days of intense interactivity.
We would like to Express our sincere thanks to all staff that has restless engaged in the preparations of this organization as well as all our crew that have spared the time to attend the seminar.
