FROM THE EDITORS As we go to press with this edition of Simply Seatrade, the 2014 World Cup is underway. There have been a number of shocking developments in the preliminary rounds, as Spain and England have been knocked out of the competition by a couple of young upstarts. While we always strive to entertain and even surprise you, we will never leave you disappointed here on these pages. This issue provides us with a bit of history, as we look at the evolution of the banana label and we explore the legend of a marooned 16th Century sailor. We review the challenges of sailing in war zones and take to the desert on an adventure rally. Our world tour includes stops in Curacao and Puerto Bolivar, Ecuador. While Spain has had to abdicate its crown as world football champions, we are proud to let you know about our long relationship with Spanish citrus champions, Citruship. Kick off the shin guards, sit back and enjoy, there’s plenty more where that came from. 2 MANageMENT CORNER So far, 2014 has been a colourful year. A year in which people of different origin, race, gender and religion were mobilised and united in more than one way. We embarked on the impressive Olympic Winter Games in Socchi, Russia, went onwards to the first celebration of "King's Day" in the Netherlands, continued to an exuberant Eurovision Song contest in Denmark and eventually arrived in the land of soccer and samba to enjoy the FIFA World Cup! In Belgium and the Netherlands, the run-up to 'Brazil 2014' gave rise to madness of great magnitude. We saw cars, people, offices and even entire streets being decorated in the national colours. Surely soccer mania reached unparalleled levels in other countries as well. The overall shipping industry is less colourful and still stuck cruise-liner builder Meyer Werft in Papenburg (Germany), a tasty in a vicious cycle, and this is particularly true for the container cooking class and a trip to the "Zuiderzee museum" in Enkhuizen segment. Although new ships may give carriers lower slot costs, (Netherlands). the supply/demand dynamics are out of balance and freight rates remain very volatile. Over the past months, we further reflected on the Seatrade Standard. A survey carried out in the offices and onboard ships This is being accentuated and extended by the constant delivery of revealed useful information where notes of (constructive) criticism new ships. The global cascade is now hurting the balance of many alternated with all-positive feedback. Convinced that the Seatrade trades. The supply/demand imbalance coupled with the desire by Standard has and says it all, it has been decided to say goodbye to most operators to protect their market share is a toxic mix for our tagline for almost two decades: the Triple S policy. overall profitability. This is why all focus is now on reducing costs with all major container carriers. As usual, the pre-summer holiday season is a time for some thorough spring-cleaning. The following ships underwent In the reefer segment the year started off promising.

Box 908, Lajas, Puerto Rico 00667, [email protected] ABSTRACT.—In the Caribbean Sea, brown to brown-black sponges that both excavate and encrust calcar- eous substratum are variably and confusedly reported as Cliona caribbaea, C. aprica and/or C. langae (Family Clionaidae, Order Hadromerida). They extend sideward undermining and displacing live coral tissue. To resolve the taxonomy of the species, detailed observations and sampling were carried out in Colombia, Venezuela, Curac¸ao, Belize, Jamaica and Puerto Rico. Differences in external morphology and color, and subtle, but consistent differences in spicule morphology and size, revealed the existence of three distinct species, Cliona aprica Pang, 1973, Cliona caribbaea Carter, 1882 (junior synonym C. langae Pang, 1973), and Cliona tenuis sp. nov. C. aprica consists of brown-black, closely spaced papillae that may fuse to form an incomplete thin crust. C. caribbaea is amber brown, often fully encrusting, with thicker (up to 2 mm) tissue and conspicuous oscules, often riddled with zoanthids. C. tenuis covers the entire substratum with a thin, transparent veneer of brownish tissue; oscules are small and inconspicuous.

    No. 19 Check List of Atolls Issued by THE PACIFIC SCIBJCE BOARD National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council Washington, I). C. CHECK LIST OF ATOLLS Com9iled for the Pacific Science Board by E. H. Bryan, Jr. The foll.ov~ingis a list of islands which are believed to qualify as "a:tolls," as defined at the Coral Atoll Symposium, held in Honolulu, T.H., in February 1951. ---.Included are non-elevated limestone structures with dry land, with or without a lagoon, and not associated olosely with high land. Excluded are elevated atolls (height more than about 25 feet above the sea), ~u~~n~atolls(without dry land), b~rrierreefs surrounding high islands (such as be Trulc group), and reef structures on fringing shelves or plat- forms adjacent to land masses (such as those on the Great Barrier Reef or to the north of western Java.) This list is believed to contain most of the reef structures vhich qualify as "atollsw in Pclpesia an6 Micronesia. The compiler is'less fa- mili.er vnth the reefs of other regions, and it is not unlikely that some "atolls" have been overlooked. Auditions and corrections are desired, and your help is solicited to make a future edition cf this list as complete as possible. A number of sugges-tions have been received from Dr. F.R.Fosberg, and his help is gratefully acltnowledged. Please send any data you may have to the vwiter at Bernice P. Bishop ~Jusewn, lIonclulu 17, I-Iawaii. Please in- clude the geographical coordinates of the reef, or reference to some chart or publication, from which its qualifications as an "atoll" may be verified.
