O zamandan bu yana Mar-vel taraf›ndan sat›fl› gerçekleflti-rilen vinç say›s› ise yaklafl›k 120.

Their nextgoal is to establish anotherplant in the same region.

Emin Demir, the GeneralManager, and Murat Demir,the Design and Sales Managerof the Company, said they tookthis decision for they haddifficulties in meeting theincreasing demand. Demirbrothers, who noted that theymanufactured on the basis ofEuropean standards and thatthey offered competitive prices,have not achieved their currentposition easily.

Emin Demir said they set out asa sand grab manufacturer, butthat they had to overcome manyproblems on their way. Statingthat their designs were used byother manufacturers due to the

fact that they were unable toobtain a patent for theirproducts and that the situationhad prevented growth of thecompany to a large extent,Demir said they did not launchnew products on the marketbefore receiving a patent. “Wehave worked day and night, butpeople tried to ignore ourefforts. They manufactured thesame cranes as our own orbrokers used unbelievable profitmargins. Now, we do not usebrokers and receive patents forall our products,” Demir said.Stating that they became abrand in Turkey and that theyexported a significant portion oftheir products, Murat Demirsaid, “The maritime industry isvery lucky, for there is acompany that makes noconcession on quality in grabproduction in Turkey. The costof importing these productsfrom abroad is threefold higherthan purchasing them from us.”Demir noted that their exportsamounted 4.3 million dollars in2006 and they exportedproducts of the amount of 2million dollars only in the first

Second Plant on the Way

We had an interview withEmin Demir on the details oftheir new plant. Demirprovided the followinginformation: “Our plant isestablished on a covered areaof 2,700 square meters. Therewill be total of 6 cranes in theplant and we will purchasenew machinery. Currently, thenumber of personnel is 30. Wewill increase the number to 70with the new plant. Our goal isto increase our production

capacity by 60 per cent andshorten the lead times. I believe that we will succeedin that. Furthermore, we alsointend to manufacture spareparts for the shipbuildingindustry in our new plant.”

Stating that they built theplant completely with theirown resources because they didnot use credit facilities for theycould not rely on theconditions in Turkey, MuratDemir said the governmentshould provide the samesupport to the supplierindustries as provided toshipyards with lands. Notingthat they consider establishingone more plant in Cayirova,and that they planned tolaunch two new products onthe market, Demir said theywould implement moreimportant projects with thesupport of the government.

T he education issue markedthe agenda of the IMEAK

Chamber of Shipping’sordinary assembly for themonth of May as well.Commenting on the speechesdelivered within the scope ofthe ITU Maritime Faculty FishDay, Erol Yucel, AssemblyChairman, clearly displayedhis attitude saying, “The realobstacle in front of theestablishment of the TurkishMaritime University is the ITUand the Maritime Faculty.”

Stating that they were not givenpermission to establish themaritime university for 4 years,Erol Yucel asserted that thedirectors of the Turkish HigherEducation Council (YOK)prevented them to establish theuniversity. Adding that thisattitude of YOK provoked them,Yucel said they would thenestablish not a normal maritimeuniversity, but a maritimeuniversity that would rank inthe top three among the total of15 maritime universities in theworld. Pointing out to the factthat TUDEV was backed by theChamber of Shipping, the fourthbiggest chamber of the Union ofChambers and CommodityExchanges of Turkey (TOBB),and the enormous maritimeindustry, Yucel reminded that20% of the resources of theChamber of Shipping were usedfor educational purposes.Stating that YOK channeled themaritime policy towards ITUMaritime Faculty, Yucel furthersaid he was criticizing not YOKbut a few people at the topmanagement of YOK, and thatYOK was necessary for Turkey.

Metin Kalkavan, Chairman of

the Board of Directors of theChamber of Shipping, said thatthey struggled to meet someneeds of the ITU MaritimeFaculty at the time, but that thepresent point reached wasregrettable. Kalkavan said theiressential profession was noteducation, but they wanted toincrease the number of qualifiedseafarers, which is one of themost important problems of themaritime industry. Stating thatwhile they were acting with thatintention in mind, they startedthe discussion of “Why don’tyou further develop thisuniversity, and provide us withland?”, Kalkavan commented,“Unfortunately, the minds ofthe rector and dean of ITU andof some other friends work inreverse.”

Stating that they supported themaritime faculty and that theywould continue to do so,Kalkavan noted that they didnot make a promise to thefaculty for the land donated toTUDEV. Saying that, “If wewant, we can take all theprofessors at the maritimefaculty within 15 days. But, wewould never do such a thing,Kalkavan said there should notbe a mentality that sees TUDEVas a competitor, while theydesired to develop education.

Stressing that no one couldbe unfair against theMaritime Faculty, Aksonsaid, “To date, the graduatesof the Maritime School ofHigher Education hasbrought the Turkishmerchant marine to itscurrent level. Thegrandfathers and fathers ofthe old seamen could not beunfair against our school.And I do not think that theywould, for they would not beable to rest in peace in theirgraves.” Stating that hesupported the establishmentof the Turkish MaritimeUniversity, and that everyoneshould do so, Akson said hewas unable to understandwhy they did not make thebest use of an alreadyexisting school. “Shipownersdo not provide but receiveservices. If there would be nomeat in the markettomorrow, shall we start abutcher’s business? Therewas no need for such a thing.If only you had received ourassistance. This is a wrongcourse. Here, I accuse theBoard of Directors of theChamber of Shipping. TheBoard of Directors would notbe able to suffer theconsequences for years,”said Akson, who alsoasserted that the Chamber ofShipping formed cliques.

As a reaction to MetinKalkavan’s sharp response tohis comments, Levent Aksonresigned from the assemblyof he Chamber of Shipping.However, resignation ofAkson was not accepted bythe Assembly Chairman ErolYucel.

T he graduation ceremony ofthe 9th term students, who

completed the program ofBusiness and TechnologyEducation Council (BTEC) atthe Turkish MaritimeEducation Foundation(TUDEV), was held in Tuzlaon Thursday, May 10, 2007.

Alp Ozalp, Chairman of theBoard of Directors of TUDEV,who delivered the openingspeech of the ceremony,provided information on theBTEC program and its processof implementation at theirorganization. Stating that theyapplied a curriculum thatcomplies with the STCWstandards of the InternationalMaritime Organization (IMO)in application of the BTECsystem, Ozalp said the studentthat graduated would obtainTurkish UnlimitedWatchkeeping Officer License(as a result of the GASMexam), and then BritishUnlimited WatchkeepingOfficer License (as a result ofthe MCA exam). Adding thatthe way of TUDEV and of theTurkish Maritime University,which is planned to be

established, was open, Ozalpsaid these two organizationswould achieve great successesin Turkish maritime educationand in Turkish educationworld.

Metin Kalkavan, Chairman ofthe Board of Directors of theIMEAK Chamber of Shipping,drew attention to the fact thattotal of approximately 600students were trained and thatthey provided employment to700 people at TUDEV. “Wehave achieved this point fromzero. Believe me, it is not soeasy to make these youngpeople to achieve this capacity.We have reached this pointwith great efforts and care.This is not a trading concern.At the beginning, we set outthis initiative in an attempt toprovide a solution for seafarershortage of our shipowners andbusinesses. But the issue hasnow become a global issue.Now, the priority has shifted toprovision of seafarers not forour own needs but for theworld. Our misfortune is thatIMO calls these institutions asmodel courses. That “course”word has been confused withthe English or examinationpreparation courses. I wish wewere able to grant a universitydiploma as well to these youngpeople, for our students receiveeducation for 4 years, as ifthey receive universityeducation. Next year, the termof education will be 5 years,including the preparation,”added Kalkavan Pointing outto the fact that the problemsamong the institutions shouldnot affect the students,Kalkavan further said, “Let us

Cengiz Kaptanoglu, AKPIstanbul MP, who took thefloor after Kalkavan, statedthat no other private sectorestablishments, neither inTurkey nor in the world,

attached this level ofimportance to education. “But, unfortunately, as an oldTurkish saying goes, “the treebearing fruit gets stoned”.Unity, solidarity andindulgence suit us. Have youever seen that those who dowrong get successful? We willnot be like those who dowrong. As long as we do theright thing, the victory will beours!” Kaptano¤lu continued.

T he Automatic IdentificationSystem (AIS) project

implemented by theUndersecretariat for MaritimeAffairs will start operating in July2007. The project comprisesincreasing the navigational safety and marine safety throughautomatic tracking of vessels onTurkish coasts.

AIS that will enable the searchand rescue operations to be moreeffective will also preventsmuggling, provide contributionsfor rapid responding to accidentsat sea, illegal use of fuel withoutthe Special Consumption Tax (OTV) to a large extent. Thesystem will also enable preventionof vessels’ violation of foreignterritorial waters and illegalfishing.

The system will be applied topassenger ships of all tonnages, aswell as to the cargo vessels over300 grt sailing on internationalwaters and over 500 grt cargovessels regardless of whether theysail on international waters or not.The project that will beimplemented through the basestations to be established on thecoasts designated by the TurkishUndersecretariat for MaritimeAffairs will provide information

such as the identificationinformation of vessels, names ofvessels, technical informationabout the vessel, port ofdeparture, port of destination, andthe estimated time of arrival.

How does the system work?

AIS is a transponder system thatoperates in the VHF marine band.This system transmits thenecessary data to other vessels orthe coast automatically. The datatransmission rate will be 2,000times a minute and the data willbe updated every 2 seconds. Atechnology called SOTDMA (SelfOrganizing Time Division MultipleAccess) that enables highlyreliable ship-to-shipcommunication at a highfrequency will be used. These datawill then be transferred to ECDIS(Electronic Chart Display andInformation System) systemsaboard other vessels or on thecoast. The system will enablemonitoring of all sea traffic on theelectronic chart display at thebridge. The images of vessels onthe charts will be proportional totheir real dimensions. Whenclicked on the vessel images, allinformation relating to that vesselwill be displayed.

T he symposium titled “Shippingand Shipbuilding Industry in

the Aegean” was held at the EgePalas Hotel, Izmir on Thursday,May 10, 2007. The symposiumfocused on the reasons why thereare no shipyard investments in theAegean region and their results.

In his speech he delivered at thesymposium, Emrah Erginer,Chairman of the Board ofDirectors of the Izmir Branch ofthe Marine Engineers Chamber,said it was rather significant thatthere was not a single shipyard inthe Aegean Region, while Turkeytakes important steps in becomingthe world’s shipbuilding industrybase. Stating that many investorsin the region were ready, but thatthey were unable to findconvenient land for buildingshipyards, Erginer said, becausethe southern part of Izmir wasmainly planned for tourism, thebest alternative was considered tobe the northern part, and thattherefore their plan aimed atconstruction of a “Yacht BuildingCenter” in Catlidere under theleadership of Izmir Yacht Builders

had taken its inal form. Notingthat they added the shipyardproject to the new port investmentplanned to be established inCandarli by the GeneralDirectorate of Shipbuilding andShipyards, Erginer further saidtheir operations for theestablishment of a “YachtBuilding Center” in Milas/Oren inBodrum continue at full speed.

“It has been approximately a yearsince the “Shipbuilding Industryin the Aegean” panel that wasorganized by the Izmir branch ofthe Chamber of Shipping andAegean Region Chamber ofIndustry with the contributions ofour Chamber on May 20, 2006.Following the panel, we hungbanners reading “We wantshipyards in the Aegean” on thefaçades of our Chambers andnever pulled them down until theyhad been torn. But unfortunately,we have not been able to see anyshipyards in the Aegean duringthis time.We have struggled toestablish the shipbuilding industry in Izmir and we stillcontinue to do so.”
