  • “Spot-And-Sweep” Blasting As a Cost Effective Method of Underwater and Outer Hull Surface Preparation
    Evaluation of “Spot-and-Sweep” Blasting as a Cost Effective method of Underwater and Outer Hull Surface Preparation Prepared for: National Shipbuilding Research Program Surface Preparation and Coatings Panel (SPC) Submitted by: Gordon Kuljian, Consultant Stephen Cogswell, BAE Systems Southeast Shipyards John Odwazny, Chariot Robotics J. Peter Ault, P.E., Elzly Technology Corporation May 2012 Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Category B Data – Government Purpose Rights. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The current U.S. Navy underwater hull surface preparation strategy is to completely remove the coating systems after an 8-year service life. This is accomplished through abrasive blasting or ultra-high water- jetting (UHPWJ) and is the only strategy approved under NAVSEA Standard Item 009-32 (preservation). Surface preparation in the commercial arena (general cargo fleet, tankers, bulkers, and cruise liners) generally consists of repairing the system at 36-60 month intervals by removing only loose or delaminated coating, applying primer to exposed steel, adding additional anti-corrosive as needed and applying full antifouling coats. Such a practice is termed “spot-and-sweep blasting”. This project examined using commercially available high speed semi-automated robots in conjunction with ultra-high pressure water-jetting (UHPWJ). This process of high speed spot-and-sweep surface preparation is being used now and for the past several years in yards throughout Europe, the Middle East, Japan, Singapore, and the Caribbean. The concept is approximately 5%-10% of the anti-corrosive coating breaks down periodically and therefore it is redundant and unnecessary to completely remove 90%-95% of intact coating to bare metal, as is the current requirement in Standard Item 009-32, each time the coating system is renewed.

  • Influence of Spring River Flow on the Recruitment of Japanese Seaperch Lateolabrax Japonicus Into the Chikugo Estuary, Japan
    RECENT ADVANCES IN THE STUDY OF SCIENTIA MARINA 70S2 FISH EGGS AND LARVAE October 2006, 159-164, Barcelona (Spain) M.P. Olivar and J.J. Govoni (eds.) ISSN: 0214-8358 Influence of spring river flow on the recruitment of Japanese seaperch Lateolabrax japonicus into the Chikugo estuary, Japan JUN SHOJI 1 and MASARU TANAKA 2 1 Takehara Fisheries Research Station, Hiroshima University, Minato-machi 5-8-1, Takehara, Hiroshima 725-0024, Japan. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Laboratory of Estuarine Ecology, Centre for Education and Research of Field Science, Kyoto University, Sakyo, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan. SUMMARY: The estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) zone is considered to serve as a predation refuge for fish during the early life stages due to the high turbidity and high prey concentration. River flow can be one of the important determinants for survival of early life stages of estuarine dependent fish because it affects both the physical and biological properties of the ETM. We tested the hypothesis that fluctuation of river flow explains the variability in recruitment of Japanese seaperch Lateolabrax japonicus around the ETM region of the Chikugo River estuary, upper Ariake Bay, Japan. Japanese seaperch recruitment showed a 43.3-fold fluctuation from 1990 to 2000 and was inversely correlated with the mean daily river flow of the Chikugo River in March. The recruitment was high and variable in years of low March river flow and was poor in years of high March river flow. We conclude that high river flow potentially decreases Japanese seaperch recruitment in the Chikugo River estuary by blocking the larval migration into the river and by increasing the probability of larval dispersion to the downriver/upper bay areas, where potential predators (jellyfish and Sagitta spp.) were more abundant, and prey (Sinocalanus sinensis) availability and turbidity were lower.

  • Assessment of Vessel Requirements for the U.S. Offshore Wind Sector
    Assessment of Vessel Requirements for the U.S. Offshore Wind Sector Prepared for the Department of Energy as subtopic 5.2 of the U.S. Offshore Wind: Removing Market Barriers Grant Opportunity 24th September 2013 Disclaimer This Report is being disseminated by the Department of Energy. As such, the document was prepared in compliance with Section 515 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106-554) and information quality guidelines issued by the Department of Energy. Though this Report does not constitute “influential” information, as that term is defined in DOE’s information quality guidelines or the Office of Management and Budget's Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review (Bulletin), the study was reviewed both internally and externally prior to publication. For purposes of external review, the study and this final Report benefited from the advice and comments of offshore wind industry stakeholders. A series of project-specific workshops at which study findings were presented for critical review included qualified representatives from private corporations, national laboratories, and universities. Acknowledgements Preparing a report of this scope represented a year-long effort with the assistance of many people from government, the consulting sector, the offshore wind industry and our own consortium members. We would like to thank our friends and colleagues at Navigant and Garrad Hassan for their collaboration and input into our thinking and modeling. We would especially like to thank the team at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) who prepared many of the detailed, technical analyses which underpinned much of our own subsequent modeling.

Fisheries Occasional Publications No. 80, September 2010. ISSN: 1447 - 2058 ISBN: 1 921258 90 X Information about this guide he intention of the North Coast Fish Identification Guide is to provide a simple, Teasy to use manual to assist commercial, recreational, charter and customary fishers to identify the most commonly caught marine finfish species in the North Coast Bioregion. This guide is not intended to be a comprehensive taxonomic fish ID guide for all species. It is anticipated that this guide will assist fishers in providing a more comprehensive species level description of their catch and hence assist scientists and managers in understanding any variation in the species composition of catches over both spatial and temporal scales. Fish taxonomy is a dynamic and evolving field. Advances in molecular analytical techniques are resolving many of the relationships and inter-relationships among species, genera and families of fishes. In this guide, we have used and adopted the latest taxonomic nomenclature. Any changes to fish taxonomy will be updated and revised in subsequent editions. The North Coast Bioregion extends from the Ashburton River near Onslow to the Northern Territory border. Within this region there is a diverse range of habitats from mangrove creeks, rivers, offshore islands, coral reef systems to continental shelf and slope waters.
