...Liner and Tramp Shipping A liner service is one which provides vessel designed transport break-bulk, containers and passengers etc. Time is a big factor in this type of shipping and these services operate strictly from a timetable in which they have to work with fixed schedules on fixed routes. It is of importance that they work with the time anticipated and the specified route outlined whether or not the vessel is full. The rates, schedules and routes are fixed and are generally published to the public. It is the most efficient means for transporting commodities. Though the ships vary in size and carrying capacities these ships together carry the most cargo per year at relatively low costs. Liner ships are specifically designed for the type of cargo they carry. The design, construction and sophisticated technology that the vessel is equip with allows for them to have be able to carry containers and break bulk. In tramp shipping on the other hand, time is not of priority neither are the routes. Tramp ships carry a full of ship of bulk cargo (dry and liquid bulk). These ships are hired for transporting goods between two specified ports (one voyage). It is the duty of the ship owner to see to it that the vessel is hired to someone else as to reduce idleness of the ship while in port. A charterer hires the vessel for a specific time, duration to suit their needs and terms and agreements are set down in a written document known as a charter party. There are three (3) types of...

...“International Apparel Planning and Sourcing” Stacy Smith Introduction to Material Handling There are several phases to completing the logistic cycle of international planning and sourcing in the apparel industry. Organizations have a better chance of succeeding when they develop a relationship with a freight forwarder, establish manufacturing facilities, create a design cycle, and maintain a level of customer service. It’s a very complicated process and the company is always forecasting what they want to be doing next year at this time. The first step in logistic planning is to develop a relationship with a freight forwarding company like Ceva, Expeditor’s, or UPS. It is a very important decision choosing which company one should partner with to move your freight. We’re talking international freight from the Eastern Hemisphere which is where most of the manufacturing is being done. An organization can set it up for any hemisphere, but that is where most goods are manufactured. This is the Asian block – China, India, Vietnam, Korea and Japan. Different freight forwarders will have shipping lanes they manage and where they’ve partnered with airlines, like Korean or British Airways, American Airlines rates are set based on the current cost of fuel surcharges, generally charged by weight and box size. Organizations have to determine an optimal box size to use when going to the air. Freight forwarders exist because they bring many customers together; shipping freight...

...ever heard of Captain Benjamin Hornigold? Well, since age thirty-three, Captain Hornigold has been a captain who has went on many adventures, with a famous crew, on his British war ship sized ships. He was an influential pirate with crew members that later became even more famous than him, when he became a pirate hunter. Hornigold was very important. The famous pirate, Benjamin Hornigold was born around 1680, in a small town called Norfolk, in England. His Early life is very unrecorded and unclear, but we do know that his first acts of piracy were around 1713 or 1714. It is also unclear why he decided to become a pirate as well, but many people become pirates because of unemployment or because they are very poor and need some money....

...While stationed at a Navy special warfare command I was in charge of the boat shop. In the boat shop we conducted preventive maintenance and any type of repairs that where mission essential. My co-worker had just finished rebuilding an outboard engine that had multiple problems, it took use about two week to rebuild the engine at return it to its running glory. My shop set out for the operational test of this boat, as always I gave a detailed brief to my crew. I instructed my lead mechanic Kevin to come with me on the safety boat and gave Steve the helm on the test boat. Prior to us placing the boats into the water I instructed Steve to be gentle with the boat; it had a few hours of break-in or run-in time that needed to be completed prior to opening it wide and completing the operational test. I informed Steve that he needs to keep an eye on the oil pressure and the RPM gauge to insure that the engine was running as designed. Steve was a seasoned Navy engineman but not a skilled mechanic, I stressed the importance to him and the only words out of his mouth was “don’t worry I got this.” We started out into the water and everything was working as designed, I kept in contact with Steve via a hand held radio, and he kept reading me the engine RPM’s and oil pressure. I would gather the information and analyze the data, and radio back to him that it was ok to continue. This went on for hour and no problems to report. I gave Steve permission to do a full power run and stressed to him...

...Chapter 9 Summary Majority of Chapter 9, Transportation Risk Management, speaks of the Risk Management Process. The Risk Management Process breaks down into four different categories or steps. These steps, not in any particular type of order, include Risk Review and Monitoring, Risk Identity, Risk Analysis and Risk Management. In step 1, risk identification, the goal is to capture as many transportation disruption risks as possible. Some of the techniques that are used for risk identification include brainstorming, interviews, surveys, historical data and documented knowledge. Brainstorming usually can be identified as meetings that are held with knowledgeable members that participate in conversations that create new thoughts and ideas. During brainstorming, they take the original ideas and help make them into a stronger, complete list of risks. Interviews and surveys differ from brainstorming because they are used to capture transportation risk information from individuals while brainstorming is used upon a group of individuals. Historical data and documented knowledge provide a collection of information about specific transportation activities, service providers and trade lanes. (Coyle, P. 295) Some of the common transportation disruption risks include product loss, product damage, product contamination, delivery delay, supply chain interruption and security breach. Product loss consists of product pilferage, shipment jettison, piracy and hijacking. Product damage contains...

...discussed. Key Words: Problem identification, shipbuilding industry, Shipyards. INTRODUCTION Bangladesh is a maritime nation with 1,66,000 sq. km area of sea, abundance with living and nonliving resources1. There are more than 200 rivers all around the country, with a total length of about 22,155 km, which occupy about 11% of total area of the country. Here rivers and water transports play a vital role for economical and commercial activities in Bangladesh. Major export and import of Bangladesh (about 85%) is also traveled by sea2. At present more than 5,000 inland/coastal ships have been plying all over the country, which carry more than 90% of total oil product, 70% of cargo and 35% of passengers. More than 1,00,000 skilled workers and 150,000 semi-skilled workers are employed in this laborintensive industry3. All inland ships are constructed and repaired in local shipyards. Bangladesh harbours the second largest ship breaking industries in the world. They are the prime source of raw material including plate, frame,...

...operationally. Part Five, Delimitation of the Study, explains the nature, coverage, period of the study. Background of the Study Fire is combustion or burning, in which substances combine chemically with oxygen from the air and typically give out bright light, heat and smoke (Oxford Dictionary, 2013). Onboard the vessels there are tons of liquid fuel, electrical equipment, engine, boiler, and the cargo that is being loaded. Therefore, Fire onboard ship is one of the most dangerous and disastrous incidents that can happen onboard. Because, Fire onboard can damaged the environment, property including the ship itself and most of all the life of the person’s onboard. 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 the most obvious: 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 (Korisnik,...

...QUESTION 1 : WHERE DOES THE FLAG STATE AND PORT STATE JURISDICTION COMPLIMENT & CONTRADICT WITH EACH OTHER. GIVE A FEW EXAMPLE TO STREGTHEN YOUR CASE In an effort to enhance broader security issues, especially good governance, anti-trafficking, anti-corruption and counter-SALW proliferation, Port States take measures to prevent unwanted vessels, including those with armed security teams, from entering and disembarking at their ports. Port State control complements the obligation of Flag States to inspect and control vessels by undertaking investigations or verification of vessels calling at their port to ensure compliance with international obligations or standards. In the event of transgressions, violators can be forced to pay reparations to the Port State, which can arrest or even blacklist their vessels. Flag State maritime security regulations, however, generally only cover issues such as the types of weapon systems that can be brought onboard, how many guards can be embarked, certification requirements and background credentials for embarked PCASP and, in some circumstances, application procedures to gain Flag State approval for taking a security detail onboard. However, these Flag-State restrictions do not address other pertinent issues such as embark and disembark procedures for PCASP, which frequently take place in countries other than the Flag State, Rules for the Use of Force, oversight and reporting protocols, and code of conduct.

...and later ended in the 1830’s. The golden age of piracy occurred from the 1650’s to the 1730’s. During this period, shipments of valuable cargo from Europe increased. Many men and women turned to piracy to live the life of freedom and to benefit off of the riches gained by leading a pirate's life. Many pirates recruited crew members from ships they captured. Very few reluctantly joined a pirate's crew, especially if they worked for little or no pay on a merchant or cargo ship. Despite the anarchy portrayed by pirates, there were rules to be obeyed. For instance, crew members could not steal from one another and women could not come aboard a pirate ship. Pirates had to follow every rule or else they faced punishment. Violators faced marooning, walking the plank, or being hanged for breaking the rules. Famous Pirates- Edward Teach “Blackbeard” (English) - He commanded four ships and had a pirate army of 300 at the height of his career, and defeated the famous warship, HMS “Scarborough” in sea-battle. He was known for barreling into battle clutching two swords, with several knives and pistols at the ready. He captured over forty merchant ships in the Caribbean, and without flinching killed many prisoners. Though he had many unofficial wives, he was “officially” married to a 16 year old girl - whom legend has it he offered as a gift to his crew after she tried to reform him. After a fierce battle in which he made a stand with candle smoke rising from his beard, he was overtaken...

...Robert Smeethile hated ship rides, and Robert Smeethile was me. I was on a ship, going to Mr. John Sutter's mill to tell him information about our deal about wood supply. The trip was taking five months now and I was getting pretty bored. People in the ship were dressed up as if they were going to go to work in the forest and had strange tools and machines. I wondered what this was all about. But I only wanted to tell Mr. Sutter all my stuff and go right back to my home in England. Then, all of a sudden, our captain said,"San Francisco! California spotted at last!" I was relieved and happy that the journey was short. It took me about two hours on horseback to get to Mr. Sutter's mill. I had to tell him about my agreement to the deal...

...SCMP Candidate Executive Summary This is a very simple yet interesting case in the Logistics and Transportation module. The flour mill in Winnipeg transports 30% of the manufactured flour (150,000 MT) in rail cars to the packaging mills in Calgary (100,000 MT) and Toronto (50,000 MT). The objective of this assignment is to optimize freight options from Winnipeg to Calgary and Toronto in such a way that there are maximum net savings in freight costs. My decision is that we should ship and unload in the multiples of 100 rail cars from Winnipeg to Calgary and 50 rail cars from Winnipeg to Toronto. This strategy will result in annual savings of $ 825,000 per year. Production/Ship-to | % | MT | | | Bakeries | 70% | 350,000 | | | Two Mills (Calgart+Toronto) | 30% | 150,000 | | | Total Mill Annual Capacity(MT) | 100% | 500,000 | | | | | | | | | | Metric Tons | Ship to destinations | % | Per year | Per week | Per day | Calgary | 66.67% | 100,000 | 2,000 | 400 | Toronto | 33.33% | 50,000 | 1,000 | 200 | Total | 100.00% | 150,000 | 3,000 | 600 | As can be seen in the above tonnage calculations, the annual quantity from for both Calgary and Toronto is 150,000 MT. Out of the 150,000 MT, 100,000 MT is transported from Winnipeg to Calgary and 50,000 MT is transported from Winnipeg to Toronto. Weekly and daily tonnage calculations are also calculated based on 50 weeks and 350 days per year. FREIGHT TARIFF...
