ICOPMAS; An event to take advantage of the latest developments

Holding successful and continuous conferences on International Conference on Coasts, Ports and Marine Structures in Islamic republic of Iran connects domestic port and coastal engineering knowledge to the global frontiers. This fact reflects the firm and clear decision of Port and Maritime Organization (PMO) for promoting ports and constructions engineering science and techniques as well as playing its national and professional role for developing ports and coastal areas. ICOPMAS; a channel to present latest scientific, experimental and technical findings and achievements of international maritime engineering society; mirrors the vigorous efforts of PMO to play its sovereign role amongst other related organizations to find solutions and answers for maritime development’s problems, requirements and necessities as well as its social responsibility for all citizens including residents of coastal areas. Fortunately, after more than two decades, the conference has been able to prove itself as a sustainable and undeniable event for establishing strong international connections and exchanging knowledge and experience among scientists and researchers from different nations in the field of ports, coastal and maritime constructions. The conference kept playing its role even during the difficult time of unfair sanctions against our country. Undoubtedly, the development oriented approach of ICOPMAS during the past 24 years has provided a valuable opportunity for the Iranian maritime society. Today, all Iranian specialists and researchers from different organizations are able to discuss and communicate professional subjects with their international counterparts during the conference and chart useful and effective solutions for promoting the findings of scientific Archiveefforts to answer current and future requirementsof asSID well sustainable national and regional development. The last but not the least, it is expected that the 12th conference channels

Case Study Blue Ocean Monitoring recently completed a contract in Indonesia working for PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara (PTNNT), which is a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Cor- poration, one of the world’s largest gold producers with assets and operations across  ve continents. The task was to utilize the Slocum glider for monitoring in support of PTNNT’s Tailings Placement Program at its Batu Hijau copper-gold mine in Sumbawa, Indonesia.

This way, any equipment modiﬁ cations can be measured and compared with each test performed, giving our customers the opportunity to optimize equipment performance.” With a wide range of testing and research capabilities, the oil spill response community relies on Ohmsett for in- dependent and objective testing. “Our staff of engineers and technicians assists customers with test protocol development, product evaluations, and provides improvement recommendations,” says John Delia, MAR program manager for Ohmsett.

The Nuts & Bolts of Research & Testing Over the years BSEE has funded multiple research projects at Ohmsett.

BSEE Invests so that Industry can Succeed For 35 years, Ohmsett has moved the ball forward in all aspects of spill response testing and research With the new advances in technology for responding in ice conditions, BSEE has invested in the facility with newly developed equipment to measure oil slick thickness and ice coverage during testing. An acoustic tool adapted to operate from a ROV, detects oil in and under ice, tracks location, and measures thickness. The sensors provide real- time measurements of the slick thickness and include cameras for real-time viewing and recording. To accurately and rapidly assess cold water and ice testing parameters such as total surface oil versus ice area coverage and oil layer thickness, a thermal imaging camera with processing software was Archivedeveloped speciﬁ cally for use of SID at Ohmsett. The Tactical Rapid Airborne Classiﬁ cation System (TRACS) creates images that separate ice, water and oil of several thicknesses based on differences in the thermal emittance. سال

اکنــون درفضایی قرارداریم کــه بیش از گذشــته نیازمند پیوند میان دانشــگاه و انتقال و جذب تکنولوژی در کشــورهای در حال توسعه، مقوله پیچیدهای است که صنعت هستیم و برگزاری دوازدهمین هامیش سواحل، بنادر و سازههای دریایی هم از نظر علمی و هم از جنبه ابعاد فرهنگی، سیاســی و اقتصادی سالهاســت نه ICOPMAS ، با هدف ارتقای ســطح علمی حوزههای دریایی میتواند به عنوان فقط کشورهای درحالتوسعه، بلکه بسیاری از مجامع پژوهشی غرب و سازمانهای جایگاهی برای تجلی اتصال دانشگاه و صنعت باشد که علم و صنعت ایران را نیز بیناملللی را به خود مشغول داشته است. سطح تکنولوژیهای کشورهای پیرشفته و به سطح علم دنیا بهویژه کشورهای دست اول پیوند دهد. این نکته از آن نظر، حایز جهان سوم فاصله محسوسی دارد. برای کاسنت فاصله تکنولوژی کشورهای پیرشفته اهمیت است که این هامیش بزرگترین هامیش علمی-دریایی در منطقه به شامر و کمرت توسعهیافته، انتقال تکنولوژی یک الزمه انکارناپذیر است. انتقال تکنولوژی و میرود و رشکتکنندگان در این هامیش میتوانند به آخرین دستاوردهای علمی بومیسازی با روشهای مختلف وسایل مختلف امکانپذیر است. در بندرسازی، اسکلهسازی و ایجاد موجشکن و همینطور برنامههای حمل و نقلی با مطالعه سابقه توسعه کشورهای درحالتوسعه ، خصوصا کشورهای رشق آسیا مالحظه و لجستیکی دست پیدا کنند و با اطالعات جهانی این حوزه آشنا شوند. دانشجویان میشود که هاآن در مسیر توسعه خود برای ترسیع در حل مشکالت بخش صنعت، نیز میتوانند بخشی از توان خودشان را در این هامیش مهم ارایه کنند، از اطالعات بنیان تکنولوژی کشور خود را از طریق انتقال آن از سایر کشورهای توسعهیافته تقویت روز دنیا هم استفاده کنند که این یکی از اهداف کالن این هامیش دورهای است. کردند و سپس با ایجاد زیربنای اقتصادی مناسب درصدد تقویت مراکز دانشگاهی و هامیش سواحل، بنادر و سازههای دریایی هر دوره میتواند در غنای علمی، فکری پژوهش خود برآمدهاند. و ِسازمانی سازمان بنادر و دریانوردی موثر باشد. چرا که دریا منبع زیادی از قدرت و یکی از روشهــای مهم انتقال تجربیــات اجرایی و علمی، برگــزاری هامیشهای اقتصاد است و بحث علم و صنعت در این حوزه بسیار خطیر است. متامی دانشجویان بیناملللی است که سازمان بنادر و دریانوردی با توجه به مرجعیت علمی دریایی کشور و استادان باید به این حوزه دقت داشته باشند و در آن وارد شوند. اقدام کرده اســت که تأثیر یازده دوره برگزاری هامیش در ارتقا سطح علمی کارکنان حضور و تعامل قدرتهای دریانوردی جهان از نکات برجسته هامیش سواحل، بنادر سازمانهای مرتبط دریایی با توجه به مقاالت ارایه شده توسط مدیران و کارشناسان، و دریانوردی است. استادان برجسته چند کشور مطرح دریایی دنیا ازجمله آمریکا حضور در عرصههای بیناملللی و استفاده از نتایج هامیشها در پروژههای سازمان انگلیس و هلند در این هامیش حضور دارند؛ بنابراین یکی از مهمرتین فرصتهای مشهود است. علمی- اقتصادی کشور به شامر میرود. با توجه به برگزاری 11 دوره هامیش بیناملللی دوساالنه سواحل، بنادر و سازههای اگر فضایی ایجاد کنیم که رشکتکنندگان ایرانی بتوانند از آخرین تحوالت علمی دریایی، سطح این هامیش به لحاظ رسزمینی، در دو بعد ملی و بیناملللی مطرح است جهان، برای مثال در بخش بندرسازی و رسوب و رسوبگذاری آگاه شوند، دستآورد و ازاینروی، مباحث تبیین شده در این هامیش که از سوی چهرههای علمی ـ پژوهشی، مهمی است. اساتید دانشگاهی، دانشپژوهان و متخصصان کشور جمهوری اسالمی ایران و سایر سازمان بنادر و دریانوردی نقطه اتصال ایران به حمل و نقل جهانی است. حمل و نقل کشورهای عضو هماندیش ارایه میشود، از یک برد فراگیر جهانی برخوردار است. جادهای و ریلی بخش کوچکی از حمل و نقل بیناملللی را تحت شعاع قرار میدهد از سوی دیگر جایگاه فراملی این هامیش است که به دلیل توجه به بنیادیترین مسایل و بیشرت داخل کشور را پوشش میدهد؛ اما سازمان بنادر تقریبا دروازه طالیی حمل جوامع برشی که به مواردی مانند مدیریت سواحل و بنادر و مهندسی دریا، سواحل و نقل بیناملللی در کشور است. و بنادر، مهندسی فراســاحل و خطوط لوله، محیطزیست، ایمنی و امنیت دریایی، حجم رسمایهگذاری در کشورهای حاشــیه خلیج فارس به عنوان رقیب ما، حجم زیستگاههای ساحلی و دریایی و آمایش جمعیتی ـ رسزمینی میپردازد و مشخصهی عظیمی است بهخصوص این ایام چندساله تحریم زمان طالیی برای آنها بوده که از بیناملللی و تعامالت پایدار فراملی آن برای هر رسزمینی با قابلیتهای دریایی قابل

غفلت ما استفاده کنند و رسمایه گذاریهای بزرگی انجام دهند و اکنون در آن بنادر استفاده است. رسمایه گذاریهای چند میلیارد دالری در حال اجراست.SID هامیش های ofاینچنینی بنابراین از جامعه مهندسان و متخصصان دریایی کشور Archiveانتظار میرود در راستای انتقال راهی است برای دستیابی به منابع و بازارهای جهانی و باقی ماندن در فضای رقابت تجارب و تکنولوژی و ارتقا سطح علمی مدیران و کارشناسان خود حضوری گسرتده در و Icopmas پلی است برای تبادل علم و راهیابی به اقتصاد جهانی. هامیش داشته باشند و همکاری الزم را جهت برگزاری هر چه بهرت هامیش در سالهای آتی انجام دهند. ضمن اینکه حضور اســاتید و رشکتهای خارجی میتواند نقش نورالدین علیآبادی به سزایی در انتقال دانش و تکنولوژی و افزایش همکاریهای بیناملللی کشور در سال معاون مهندسی و توسعه امور زیربنایی سازمان بنادر و دریانوردی رشایط پسابرجام ایفا مناید. سیویکم

فرصتی بینظیر برای معرفی تواناییها

هامیشهای بیناملللی عمدتاً با دو نگاه عمده برگزار میشوند؛ نخست ظرفیتهای علمی و فنی کشور برای متخصصان و صاحبان کسب و کارها ترشیح میشوند، سپس اسرتاتژیهای کشور برای مخاطبان و مدعوین خارجی در حوزههای مورد نظر تبیین میشوند و اما در یحاشیه چنین هامیشهایی است که صاحبان کسب و کارها با توامنندیها و نیازهای یکدیگر آشنا شده و موجبات عقد قراردادهای تجاری فراهم میشــود. در فرایند هامیش مذاکرات مدعوین بسرتساز توافقات همکاریهای مشرتک در بلندمدت خواهد بود که این میتواند یکی از اهداف مهم هر هامیشی با چنین ابعادی باشد. با توجه به رشایط پسابرجام، مدیران باید با معرفی موقعیت جغرافیایی بینظیر و تبیین ظرفیتهای عملیاتی و مدیریتی در بخش دریایی فرصتهای جدیدی را که کشــور در اختیار جهان قرار میدهد، به مدعوین بیناملللی خود معرفی کنند. به عنوان مثال، هماکنون آسامن ایران امنترین مسیرهای تردد هوایی را در اختیار خطوط هوایی بیناملللی قرار داده است. برای حصول به چنین نتیجهای، نخست تدوین و طراحی بستههای فنی، حقوقی و ِ اقتصادیالزم به گونهای که منافع طرفین را لحاظ کرده و موجبات رونق ترانزیت و تجارت از مســیرهای ایران ـ گذر را فراهم آورد، یک الزام است. در گذشته عدم شناخت کافی از این مقوله و ضعف قوانین برای حضور کریرها و فورواردرهای خارجی در کشور باعث شده که چنین فرصتهای طالیی یکی یکی از دست برود. اکنون که دوازدهمین هامیش ICOPMAS در راه است، توجه به مقوالت مربوط به توسعه تجارت میتواند فرصتهای کشور را بالفعل منوده و مذاکرات اولیه درخصوص SIDحضور رشکتهای حمل ofو نقل بیناملللی در امنترین کشور خاورمیانه را شکل دهد. باید Archiveتوجه داشت که امنیت عالیترین ظرفیتی است که تجارت بدان نیاز دارد و ایران کشوری است که میتواند در درازمدت این محصول را ارایه کند. در کشورهای توسعهیافته همواره این سیاست و الزامات مربوط به آن بوده است که در خدمت رشد و فعالیتهای اقتصادی قرار گرفته است

و همچنین هزینههای پرداختی برای ایجاد امنیت نیز در نهایت برای جلوگیری از منافع اقتصادی بهره برده است. اینها هزینههایی است که ایران ًقبال آنها را پرداخته و اکنون ثبات ایران در منطقه بیانگر اثبات ادعای مذکور است. در این رشایط حضور میهامنان خارجی سال در هامیش دوازدهم آیکوپمس )ICOPMAS( فرصت بینظیری برای معرفی و بهکارگیری ظرفیتهای فنی، علمی و اقتصادی است. آنچه در یک دهه گذشته علیه ایران انجام شده رصفاً ایرانهراسی سیاسی نبوده است، بلکه باعث شده که ظرفیتهای بینظیر ایران سیویکم نیز بدون استفاده مباند. استفاده از سواحل خزر در شامل کشور و سواحل خلیج فارس و دریای عامن در جنوب کشور رصفاً نفع ایران را به دنبال ندارد، بلکه منافع کشورهای پیرامونی و رشکتهای بیناملللی را نیز تضمین میکند. به عنوان مثال توسعه سواحل مکران شامره

میتواند هاب ایمنطقه را از درون خلیج فارس به سواحل دریای عامن منتقل کرده و رضورت تردد کشتیهای اقیانوسپیام را به داخل تنگه هرمز برطرف مناید و مزیتهای کشور در زمینه حمل و نقل دریایی را شکوفا کند. این اقدام میتواند خاطرهی خوش دوران پررونق 235 دریایی مکران در ایران باستان و دوران اسالمی را بار دیگر در اذهان مردم منطقه و جهانیان زنده مناید. قطعا امروزه سواحل مکران توانایی
