GLOSSARY ACRONYM Full name Definition AIS is an automatic tracking system used on ships and by vessel traffic services (VTS) for identifying and locating vessels by electronically exchanging data with other nearby ships AIS Base stations and Satellites. Automatic Identification When satellites are used to detect AIS signatures then the term Satellite-AIS (S-AIS) is used. AIS System AIS information supplements marine radar, which continues to be the primary method of collision avoidance for water transport. Information provided by AIS equipment, such as unique identification, position, course, and speed, can be displayed on a screen or an Electronic Chart Display Information System (ECDIS). ASP (Microsoft®) is a server-side scripting environment that can be used to create and run dynamic, interactive Web server applications. ASP Active Server Pages With ASP, HTML pages, script commands, and COM, components can be combined to create interactive Web pages and powerful Web-based applications that are easy to develop and modify. The Blue Belt is an area where vessels can operate freely within the EU internal market with a minimum of administrative burden while safety, security, environmental protection as well as customs and tax policies are Blue Belt enhanced by the use of maritime transport monitoring and reporting capabilities (processes, procedures and information systems). EDI Electronic Data Information EDI is a method for transferring data between different computer systems or computer networks. The European MSs are the members of the European Union and are party to treaties of the European Union (EU) and thereby subject to the privileges and obligations of EU membership. There are 28 member states of the EU: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Croatia, Czech Republic, (E)MSs (European) Member States Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. TRACTEBEL ENGINEERING 15/11/2013 5 EMSA is one of the EU's decentralised agencies, which provides technical assistance and support to the EC European Maritime Safety and MSs in the development and implementation of EU legislation on maritime safety, pollution by ships and EMSA Agency maritime security. It has also been given operational tasks in the field of oil pollution response, vessel monitoring and in long range identification and tracking of vessels. Electronic Reporting The ERINOT message is an obligatory message with a purpose to notify national authorities and, when ERINOT International Notification necessary, port authorities about the voyage and cargo (dangerous and non-dangerous) details for the message message vessel which in navigating the inland waterways. Free zones are special areas within the customs territory of the Community. Goods placed within these areas are free of import duties, VAT and other import charges. Free zone treatment applies to both non-Community and Community goods: Non-Community goods stored in the zone are considered as not yet imported to the customs territory of the Community whereas certain Community goods stored in free zones can be considered as already exported. On importation, free zones are mainly for storage of non-Community goods until they are released for free Free Zone circulation. No import declaration has to be lodged as long as the goods are stored in the free zone. Import and export declarations have only to be lodged when the goods leave the free zone. In addition, there may be special reliefs available in free zones from other taxes, excises or local duties. These will differ from one zone to another. The free zones are mainly a service for traders to facilitate trading procedures by allowing fewer customs formalities.

These ratings are based on compliance with the requirements of the USPHS/FDA Grade A Pasteurized Milk Ordinance and Grade A Condensed and Dry Milk Products and Condensed and Dry Whey and were made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Methods of Making Sanitation Rating of Milk Supplies. *Proposal 301 that was passed at 2001 NCIMS conference held May 5-10, 2001, in Wichita, Kansas and concurred with by FDA states: "Transfer Stations, Receiving Stations and Dairy Plants must achieve a sanitation compliance rating of 90 or better in order to be eligible for a listing in the IMS List. Sanitation compliance rating scores for Transfer and Receiving Stations and Dairy Plants will not be printed in the IMS List". Therefore, the publication of a sanitation compliance rating score for Transfer and Receiving Stations and Dairy Plants will not be printed in this edition of the IMS List. THIS LIST SUPERSEDES ALL LISTS WHICH HAVE BEEN ISSUED HERETOFORE ALL PRECEDING LISTS AND SUPPLEMENTS THERETO ARE VOID. The rules for inclusion in the list were formulated by the official representatives of those State milk sanitation agencies who have participated in the meetings of the National Conference of Interstate Milk Shipments.

Defence experts say this area is important for bolstering air defence and protecting the so-called Suwalki Corridor, a strip of the Lithuanian-Polish border, considered NATO’s Achilles Heel. The newly installed training area will make it possible to train NATO ground and air personnel cooperation. Additionally, next year’s US defence budget law will call for a change in the NATO Baltic air-policing mission’s mandate, into that of an air defence mission. The air policing mission’s transition to an air defence mission would mean that fighter jets stationed in the Baltic mission for air policing would be able to carry out combat tasks in case of a crisis. SECONDARY NEWS Defence Forces fail to find Spanish Eurofighter missile in Endla reserve. (ERR) August 12 news: Commander of the Air Force, Col.

  • The Design and Service Experience of the Polar Endeavour Class Tankers
    The Design and Service Experience of the Polar Endeavour Class Tankers Robert A. Levine1, (M) SNAME, (M) IMarEST, C.Eng., Manager Engineering Integration & Naval Architecture, ConocoPhillips Marine ABSTRACT The Polar Endeavour (Millennium) Class Tankers, represent the first U. S. flag crude oil carriers designed and built for the Alaskan Trade in compliance with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA90). These vessels represent the start of a revolution in design for American crude carriers. Not only are they fitted with double hulls, which are deeper than required, but also they are fitted with twin independent engine rooms, and twin rudders. They are the first vessels to be classed R2- S+ and NIBS under the American Bureau of Shipping’s (ABS) Guidelines for Redundant Propulsion Systems and Navigation Integrated Bridge Systems. The vessels meet the requirements for Annex VI of MARPOL for air emissions, and are painted with tin free (TBT) anti-foul paints. This paper describes the design development process used and the unique and innovated design, which resulted. Three vessels have entered service in 2001, 2002 and 2003 and two are under construction for delivery in 2004 and 2005. 1 The opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not reflect those of Polar Tankers Inc., ConocoPhillips Marine, ConocoPhillips Alaska or the ConocoPhillips Corporation. 1 ACRONYMS +A1E Compliance with ABS Rules for Self- KW Kilowatts Propelled Vessels & Equipment LAN Local Area Network (Computer) Standards LBP Length Between Perpendiculars
