It sets out how alliances work, how they affect maritime transport systems and transport stakeholders, and how they are currently regulated. Based on this analysis, the report provides policy recommendations to governments. This report benefits from study visits to Spain, Italy and Germany and draws insights from interviews with a range of stakeholders within the maritime logistics chain, listed in Annex 2. What we found Global alliances have become a dominant feature of container shipping. They are cooperation agreements between container lines (carriers) on operational matters. Alliances usually consist of a series of agreements with global coverage on sharing vessels and slots on these vessels. The aim of such alliances is to achieve economies of scale and wider service coverage. Whereas the early generations of global alliances that emerged

  • Glossary of Port Industry Terminology
    Glossary of Port Industry Terminology Berth: 1) The area allotted to accommodate a vessel alongside a wharf, or the area in which a vessel swings when at anchor. 2) Or in “cruise terminology ” a bed. Berthage: A tariff charged to a vessel occupying a berth. It is calculated by applying the current tariff rate per GT for each of the first 2 twelve-hour periods. Each additional hour is charged at a lower published rate per GT. Bollard: Is a short vertical post used on a ship or a quay, principally for mooring. Breakbulk: Non-containerized general cargo. Examples include iron, steel, machinery, linerboard, woodpulp and yachts. Cabin: A passenger room onboard the cruise ship – sometimes called a stateroom or a berth. CBSA: Canada Border Services Agency (occasionally referred to as Canada Customs). Coastal Trading Act: An Act respecting the use of foreign ships and non-duty paid ships in the coasting trade. (Canadian version of American “Jones Act” see cabotage below). Cabotage Water transportation term applicable to shipments between ports of a nation; commonly refers to coastwise or intercoastal navigation or trade. Many nations, including the United States, have cabotage laws which require national flag vessels to provide domestic interport service. (In US this is referred to as the “Jones Act”). Chart Datum: A plan below which the tide will seldom fall. The Canadian Hydrographic Service has adopted the plane of Lowest Normal Tides (LNT) as chart datum. To find the depth of water, the height of tide must be added to the depth shown on the chart. Tidal heights preceded by a (-) must be subtracted from the charted depth.

  • Representations of Education in HBO's the Wire, Season 4
    Teacher EducationJames Quarterly, Trier Spring 2010 Representations of Education in HBO’s The Wire, Season 4 By James Trier The Wire is a crime drama that aired for five seasons on the Home Box Of- fice (HBO) cable channel from 2002-2008. The entire series is set in Baltimore, Maryland, and as Kinder (2008) points out, “Each season The Wire shifts focus to a different segment of society: the drug wars, the docks, city politics, education, and the media” (p. 52). The series explores, in Lanahan’s (2008) words, an increasingly brutal and coarse society through the prism of Baltimore, whose postindustrial capitalism has decimated the working-class wage and sharply divided the haves and have-nots. The city’s bloated bureaucracies sustain the inequality. The absence of a decent public-school education or meaningful political reform leaves an unskilled underclass trapped between a rampant illegal drug economy and a vicious “war on drugs.” (p. 24) My main purpose in this article is to introduce season four of The Wire—the “education” season—to readers who have either never seen any of the series, or who have seen some of it but James Trier is an not season four. Specifically, I will attempt to show associate professor in the that season four holds great pedagogical potential for School of Education at academics in education.1 First, though, I will present the University of North examples of the critical acclaim that The Wire received Carolina at Chapel throughout its run, and I will introduce the backgrounds Hill, Chapel Hill, North of the creators and main writers of the series, David Carolina.

  • Review of Maritime Transport 2020 37
    2 The present chapter focuses on key developments related to the supply of maritime transport during this past year. It also assesses the early impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the supply of maritime transport services and industries and discusses the responses, lessons learned and possible implications of the pandemic in terms of forces shaping supply and the industry’s long-term goal of decarbonization. The pandemic has had a significant impact on the shipping industry. On the one hand, lockdowns and factory closures gradually affected demand for maritime transport, due to reduced cargo volumes (see chapter 1). On the other hand, safety measures applied to contain the spread of the virus, such as lockdowns and travel restrictions, affected the movement of maritime transport workers and procedural changes introduced in ports, and induced operational disruptions in the supply of maritime transport. These prompted changes in shipping operations and requests for government support in the sector. They made the industry reflect on ways to enhance resilience of the sector to future shocks. This chapter reviews world fleet developments such as MARITIME annual fleet growth, changes to the structure and age of the fleet. It considers selected segments of the maritime TRANSPORT supply chain, such as shipbuilding, ship recycling, ship ownership, ship registration and the maritime workforce, SERVICES AND emphasizing the impacts of the pandemic on maritime INFRASTRUCTURE transport and marine manufacturing industries and on the supply of shipping services. SUPPLY It also examines the impact of the pandemic on the container, dry bulk and tanker freight markets; government responses to support shipping; and industry prospects, in particular with regard to accelerated digitalization and the prioritization of environmental sustainability.

  • Ocean Shipping Cartels: a Survey Abstract 1 Introduction Liner
    Review of Network Economics Vol.3, Issue 2 – June 2004 Ocean Shipping Cartels: A Survey WILLIAM SJOSTROM* Centre for Policy Studies, National University of Ireland, Cork Abstract Liner shipping has been characterized by collusive agreements, called shipping conferences, since its founding in the mid-nineteenth century. This article surveys the competing models of shipping conferences, including monopolizing cartels and destructive competition models, and reviews a variety of their practices to see how much light they can shed on the profitability and efficiency of conferences. 1 Introduction Liner shipping is the business of offering common carrier ocean shipping services in international trade. Since it became an important industry in the 1870s, it has been characterized by various agreements between firms. Historically, since the formation in 1875 of the Calcutta Conference, the primary form of agreement in liner shipping has been the conference system. Variously called liner conferences, shipping conferences, and ocean shipping conferences, they are formal agreements between liner shipping lines on a route, always setting (possibly discriminatory) prices, and sometimes pooling profits or revenues, managing capacity, allocating routes, and offering loyalty discounts. Conferences agreements have been quite successful and in many cases have lasted for years. There were over 150 conferences operating in the world as of 2001(OECD, 2002, p.19). In the last ten to twenty years, conferences have begun to be supplanted by alliances, which are less complete (they do not, for example, set prices) but encompass more broadly defined trade routes. Section 1 of this survey will review the liner industry (1.1), the conference system (1.2), and the historical origins of the conference system (1.3).

    October 31 st , 2016 To Whom it May Concern, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. Eizo Murakami, President & CEO Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. Junichiro Ikeda, President & CEO Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha Tadaaki Naito, President Notice of Agreement to the Integration of Container Shipping Businesses Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd., Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd., and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha have agreed, after the resolution by the board of directors of each company held today, and subject to regulatory approval from the authorities, to establish a new joint-venture company to integrate the container shipping businesses (including worldwide terminal operating businesses excluding Japan) of all three companies and to sign a business integration contract and a shareholders agreement. 1. Background Although growing modestly, the container shipping industry has struggled in recent years due to a decline in the container growth rate and the rapid influx of newly built vessels. These two factors have contributed to an imbalance of supply and demand which has destabilized the industry and has created an environment that is adverse to container line profitability. In order to combat these factors, industry participants have sought to gain scale merit through mergers and acquisitions and consequently the structure of the industry is changing through consolidation. Under these circumstances, three companies have now decided to integrate their respective container shipping on an equal footing to ensure future stable, efficient and competitive business operations. The new joint-venture company is expected to create a synergy effect by utilizing the best practices of the three companies. And by taking advantage of scale merit of its vessel fleet totaling 1.4 million TEUs, realize integration effect of approximately 110 billion Japanese Yen annually and seek swiftly financial performance stabilization.
