Dore,, Sheffield,, United Kingdom

Self taught artist Tony Fernandes began drawing and painting at an early age, the works of Stevenson, Melville and Conrad captured and fuelled his imagination.

Set artist and designer for Walt Disneys presentation of Treasure Island 1999 with Jack Palance, Patrick Bergen. Those sharp eyed will see cameo appearances by Fernandes as a pirate and merchant adventurer. With works appearing on cinema, television, magazines and books, the artist, seemingly oblivious to the critical praise it elicts divides his time between studio painting and travelling to far and distant ports researching, sketching and photographing. This body of work remains unique. Currently collaborating with noted author and naval historian Captain Richard Woodman MNI on a maritime series.

New York,, NY, United States

The Liberian Shipowners Council was formed in 1974 as a not for profit New York Corporation. Its founding members came from different maritime centers located around the globe, but all had the common denominator of operating ships of all types under the Liberian flag. They also had a desire that the Liberian Maritime Program should represent the highest standards of safety and professionalism. From the outset the LSC worked closely with the ship register to promote more comprehensive vessel inspections, higher technical standards, and industry safety programs. In the late 1970's the LSC enhanced its independence with the establishment of a separate Secretariat office in New York City and the hiring of a full time General Secretary. The Organization grew in numbers and influence during the 1980's and 1990's during which time it came to represent the solitary voice of open registry owners. As a shipowners association the LSC obtained eligibility to join the International Chamber of Shipping and the International Shipping Federation. Both these organizations represent the voice of the maritime industry on technical as well as labor matters at the IMO. Shortly after LSC's formation it joined both Associations and today continues to be one of their largest and most active supporters. During its twenty-seven years of activity the LSC has been a strong advocate for the IMO and the open registry system. It has led the way in the struggle against organizations like the ITF and UNCTAD who wish to eliminate this choice for shipowners. Today the LSC continues to promote the highest technological and safety standards at IMO and in the Liberian Flag, while opposing efforts to diminish the ability of shipowners to operate their ships in the most advantageous economic environment.

Tuticorin, India

Tuticorin Port was incorporated in 1974 as the tenth major port of the country. The port is situated about 540 Km South West of Chennai with Sri Lanka on the South-East direction and very close to the East-West International sea routes. Tuticorin port, developed as an artificial deep-sea harbour with 400 hectares of protected water area, has come up as one of the major centre for coastal shipping and serves to the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and parts of Kerala. Tuticorin port, which was the centre for maritime trade and pearl fishery for more than a century, had gone through the hands of Portuguese and Dutch before coming under the control of East India Company of Britain. The British company had developed the natural harbour port and connected it with the Railway. It was declared as a minor anchorage port in 1868. In the pre-independence era, the port had witnessed a sprouting trade by handling a wide range of cargo with the neighbouring countries as well as with other coastal ports of the country. With the changing scenario of maritime trade, the Union Government constructed a new harbour and the port had come up as the 10th Major Port on 11th July, 1974. In 1979, the erstwhile anchorage port / minor port was merged with the newly developed harbour to form an integrated port. The integrated Tuticorin Port presently comprises of two operational wings - 'Zone - A' representing the new Major Port while 'Zone - B' representing the old anchorage port. Future plan With the increasing use of containers in sea trade, Tuticorin Port, having the locational advantages, strives to become the container transhipment hub of South India and accordingly planned to develop the port infrastructure and other port facilities. Deepening of approach channel and harbour basin to accommodate 10.7 metres draught vessels, construction of cargo berth No.-7, augmentation of water supply facilities, construction of shallow water berth at 7.0 metres level are the major projects taken up by the port. The proposed 'Sethu Samudram Ship Canal Project', which envisages cutting a canal for passage of ships from Gulf of Mannar to Palk Straits, would connect the Tuticorin port to the other Indian ports on the East Coast directly. The project is likely to facilitate the development of Tuticorin as a regional hub for South Asia competing with Colombo Port.
