...emissions. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) predicts a 250 percent rise in emission levels as a result of expanding sea transport, if suitable energy efficiency policies are not implemented. Yet legislation has in many respects by-passed the shipping sector as reflected by its exclusion from international agreements such as the Kyoto protocol. Even though shipping is recognised as the cleanest form of transporting goods, with the least damage per tonne of cargo, ship exhaust emissions are regarded as the industry's biggest polluter. So although the marine industry has consistently resisted taking any significant measures to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, it now looks like it will finally bow to pressure, as many governments now want to include shipping in future agreements. As such IMO is implementing, by 2015, new sulphur emission targets for marine fuel oil. IMO has also demonstrated a potential to reduce CO2 emissions by 25 to 75 percent for newbuilds, as well as for ships already operational, simply through an increased focus on energy efficiency. Improved fuel use An...

...INTRODUCTION Every year more and more ships are lost through fire and collision. Shipboard fire alone, however, results in more total losses of ships than any other form of casualty. The most common causes of shipboard fire are: maintenance, burning and welding are responsible for nearly 40 percent of all outbreaks. Smoking leads to countless fires that break out when no one expects. Lack of attention, spontaneous combustion and electrical faults are the major causes. The engine room is at special risk from flashbacks in oilfired boilers, leaky pipings carrying oil, overheated bearings and even the accumulation of rubbish (oil rags, dirty oil, tins of oil, etc.). According to Mikhail Grigorevich Stavitskii 1983, if most shipboard fires can be prevented, then who is responsible for preventing them? The answer is that fire prevention is the shared duty of each and every member of the crew. No fire prevention effort or program can be successful unless it involves everyone aboard ship. We have noted that every crewmember is responsible for the fire aboard ship. Similarly, every crewmember has a role in the ship's fire prevention program. Because attitude is so much a part of the fire prevention, it is also the most important part of the fire prevention program. So as with the Fire Figthing, if there is a fire aboard ship, everyone aboard ship must form the emergency response team. According to Lobo Gruppe, Oslo 1987, the emergency response team are consist of the following...

...INTERNATIONAL TRADE LOGISTICS & DOCUMENTATION ASSIGNMENT- Logistics details of Light Diesel Oil HS Code - 27101940 (Individual Assignment) Introduction Light diesel oil (LDO), a class of diesel whose density relatively light. It falls under class C category fuel having flash point above 66 degree Celsius. LDO is widely used in automobile and engines with an rpm less than 750, tractor and the diesel engine for high speed diesel engine fuel ships, mines, power generation, drilling and other equipment. LDO, is a blend of components from the distillation process of diesel. LDO is also referred to as distillate fuel or marked oil since it is marked with a coloring substance. A number of properties must meet standard requirements for a fuel to be classified as LDO. List of properties mentioned below: • The water content of LDO must not exceed 0.25 percent of volume. The viscosity of LDO at 40 degrees Celsius must be a minimum of 2.5 centistrokes and a maximum of 15.7 centistrokes. LDO is required to have a Sulphur content of less than 1.8 percent by weight. Sediment levels must be below 0.1 percent by weight. Ash content must be less than 0.02 percent by weight. LDO must contain less than 1.5 percent carbon residue. The cetane number of LDO is 45. This measure of combustion quality can be up to 100 but most premium diesels are around 60. A higher cetane number means the fuel is of higher quality. The pour point is the lowest temperature that the fuel will flow. This quality...

Co‐benefits and penalties associated with Carbon dioxide (CO2) are listed for completeness. The implementation of the San Pedro Bay Ports’ (SPBP) Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) measure OGV6 which focuses on the introduction of ECS into the fleets of ships that calls the Port of Long Beach (POLB) and the Port of Los Angeles (POLA). The goal of the measure is to encourage existing ships to meet or achieve better than the International Maritime Organization (IMO) MARPOL Annex VI marine engine Tier 3 emission limits. This will reduce emissions associated with the ships as they transit the region during arrivals and departures. Introducing ECS can have co‐benefits, such as alternative compliance with federal, state, and CAAP measures. ECS can be divided into the following major categories: * Engine technologies * Engine support technologies * After-treatment technologies * Alternative fuels * Alternative supplemental power systems * Ship-related efficiencies While several of these technologies have their basis in the stationary source (power plants, refineries, etc.) and land‐side mobile source arenas, the marine environment poses some significant challenges. These include variable engine loads, a corrosive sea environment, low engine loads brought about by vessel speed reduction (VSR) programs, onboard space limitations and...

...Benjamin Franklin Tilley (March 29, 1848 – March 18, 1907) was an officer in the United States Navy and the first acting governor of what is now American Samoa. He entered the Naval Academy at age 15 during the Civil War and graduated in 1866. In the wake of the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, he participated as a lieutenant in the military's crackdown against workers. During the 1891 Chilean Civil War, Tilley and a small contingent of sailors and marines defended the American consulate in Santiago, Chile. Commanding the gunship USS Newport in the Spanish–American War, he captured two Spanish Navy ships. After the war Tilley was promoted to captain and became the acting governor of Tutuila and Manua, present-day American Samoa, where he set legal and administrative precedents for the new territory. Tilley's successor, Captain Uriel Sebree, praised his "great ability, kindness, tact and sound common sense". He was promoted to rear admiral after almost 41 years of naval service, but died within a month from pneumonia. (Full article...)

...spewing her cargo into water rich in marine life. (Shabecoff, 1989) THE BACK STORY THE TRANS-ALASKA PIPELINE SYSTEM After oil was discovered in Prudhoe Bay on the northern coast of Alaska in 1968, the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company was formed by the owner companies: BP Exploration, ARCO, Exxon, Mobil, Amerada Hess, Phillips, and Union. Alyeska determined that the most economic method of transporting oil from Prudhoe Bay to the U.S. west coast was oil transport through a pipeline from the bay to Valdez, followed by oil tanker transport south. President Richard Nixon signed the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act on November 16, 1973. The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) consists of an extensive 800 mile pipeline (Figure 6.1), 11 pump stations, and an oil terminal at Valdez; it cost more than $8 billion to build (USDIBLM, 2005). 75 OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS At the time of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, six contingency plans were in place to coordinate oil spill response efforts. On the national level, the National Response Team (NRT) provided national support for response actions related to oil discharges and hazardous substance releases. NRT supported emergency responders at all levels by means of technical expertise and equipment, assisted in the development of training, coordinated responses with neighboring countries, and managed the National Response System. NRT actions were to be primarily conducted through Regional Response Teams (RRT). The RRT plan for Prince William...

...the owner of Kava Imports, Chris Morales, that "now" was the time to act. Any further delays, given the degenerating condition of the island of Kava and its people, would make restoration of the island of Kava and the business structure of Kava Imports on the island a prolonged, costly, and possibly unsuccessful endeavor. Alex and I were to become work partners during solution implementation. "This is no longer a training exercise," he explained, "We are at a point where our business' life is at stake on this island." He further explained that the implementation process was the most laborious, critical, and time-consuming part of developing a solution. As he explained, "The paper work is easy, the leg work takes the effort!" The board of directors of Kava Imports along with a government representative had determined that the restoration of infrastructure providing potable water was the first project to be initiated. As Alex and I drove to a nearby office building where we were to meet water officials, he asked me to summarize the decision making groups findings. I recounted my work with the water problem group. I reminded him of the University of Phoenix Nine Step decision-making process that I had described. I informed him that I used the process to...
