New Insurance for Newbuildi
The Swedish Club Letter 2–2006 Insurance New Insurance for Newbuildi ■■ The Swedish Club is one of very few marine insurance companies that offer a range of products Tord Nilsson broad enough to cover most of the needs of ship- Area Manager owners. Team Göteborg I We will soon complement the products we have by adding an insurance that specifi cally targets the needs of shipowners with newbuildings on order. Our fi rst contact with owners has traditionally been when they have started to look for suppliers of H&M, P&I Cover for liabilities in respect and FD&D insurances. We do in some cases cover FD&D for newbuildings and of superintendents and for the crew whilst travelling to and from the shipyard just prior to delivery. We feel that owners need to start looking at their insurable interests long other shipowners’ personnel before delivery, as there are risks relating to the newbuilding that could affect attending at newbuildings owners adversely. Only a few owners currently do this. Our Newbuilding Risks Insurance is one product and it encompasses three areas: 1.

HOW THE INDUSTRY 4.0 COULD AFFECT THE SHIPBUILDING WORLD Rodrigo Pérez Fernández, [email protected], correspondence author SENER, Madrid/Spain. C/ Severo Ochoa, 4 - 28760 Tres Cantos - Madrid (Spain) Abstract The marine structures are developed with Computer Aided Design (CAD) platforms, but every day we are looking for integrated development of the product involving all its Life Cycle. CAD system integrated with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and from the PLM we can conceive all the design but also control the production and include the use of the vessel. The PLM can contain information of all systems of the vessel and also all its components. If the components are designed for the Internet of Ships (IoS) it will have technology that allows to share their situation, diagnosis, functionality with the PLM system which distributes the initial design. The PLM system can use this information for knowing whether they are working properly or if we can improve its performance. It is also possible to identify whether it is necessary to make maintenance of the object or if it is necessary to replace it because its life ends or because it's working wrongly. It will be possible to determine and evaluate its performance comparing to other similar components or comparing to it different operating periods. It will also be possible to know how their performance affects the functioning of the whole product, i.e., the vessel. Furthermore, if the connection of the objects is realized with its PLM, it would be possible to record their history status, make change tracking, and know what is its function or its performance after realizing programmed maintenance. -

Four hundred years later, a scant 3 percent of what was known as “the great piney woods” remains. The trees’ abundance grew the Southeast’s first major industry, one that served the world’s biggest fleet, the British Navy, with the naval stores essential to shipbuilding and maintenance. The pines yielded gum resin, rosin, pitch, tar, and turpentine. On oceangoing ships, pitch and tar Wilmington, N.C., was a hub for the naval stores industry. caulked seams, plugged leaks, and preserved ropes and This photograph depicts barrels at the Worth and Worth rosin yard and landing in 1873. rigging so they wouldn’t rot in the salty air.

Shipbuilding
Shipbuilding A promising rst half, an uncertain second one 2018 started briskly in the wake of 2017. In the rst half of the year, newbuilding orders were placed at a rate of about 10m dwt per month. However the pace dropped in the second half, as owners grappled with a rise in newbuilding prices and growing uncertainty over the IMO 2020 deadline. Regardless, newbuilding orders rose to 95.5m dwt in 2018 versus 83.1m dwt in 2017. Demand for bulkers, container carriers and specialised ships increased, while for tankers it receded, re ecting low freight rates and poor sentiment. Thanks to this additional demand, shipbuilders succeeded in raising newbuilding prices by about 10%. This enabled them to pass on some of the additional building costs resulting from higher steel prices, new regulations and increased pressure from marine suppliers, who have also been struggling since 2008.

ROBERT NAPIER, Engineer and shipbuilder, of Glasgow, late Presidentof the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, and Commander of the Order of Danneborg (First Class), wasborn at Dumbarton on the 18th of June, 1791, hisfather being a blacksmithand a respected burgess of thattown. In 1807 he was apprenticed to his father for five ycars; from 1812 to 1815 he wrought in Edinburgh and in Glasgow as a black- smith and mechanic, working for a short time under Mr. Robert Stevenson, M. Inst. C.E., in the former city. In 1515 Mr. Kapier received 550 from his father, with S45 of which he bought the tools and thegood-will of a small blacksmith’s shop in theGallow- gate, Glasgow, leaving 55 of working capital, with which sum he started in business, employing at first only two apprentices. In 1821, the business having increased, he engaged in iron-founding and engineering at Camlachie, at the east end of Glasgow, where, in 1823, he made his first marine engine for the “ Leven ” steam- boat, built to ply between Dumbarton and G1asgow.l The success of this engine ledso rapidly to other orders for marine engines that he found it necessary, in 1828, to remove to larger and more con- ’ The following is a list of the vcssels either engined or built, or both engined and built, by Mr. -

It was an honor to know them and a privilege to be taught by them. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation has been a long time in the making and it would not have been possible without the help of many people around the world. I am particularly indebted to Professor William Roger Louis, who has been incredibly patient with me over the eight years it has taken to get this written. Regular work weeks of 60+ hours for years on end made finding the time to advance this project much more difficult than I anticipated. Professor Louis never lost faith that I would complete this project and his encouragement inspired me to keep going even when other commitments made completion look well-nigh impossible. -

Robin Murray, UCS the Anatomy of Bankruptcy, Nottingham
THE ANATOMY OF BANKRUPTCY UCS The Anatomy of Bankruptcy Robin Murray SPOKESMAN BOOKS 1972 Printed by Tbe Russell Press Limited Set in Baskerville (IBM 72) Published by The Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation Limited Bertrand Russell House, Gamble Street, Forest Road West, Nottingham NG7 4ET Copyright@ The Spokesman 1972 Acknowledgements This text was originally submitted as a paper in evidence on behalf of The Spokesman to the Comm- ittee of Inyuiry into the Proposed Run Down of Upper Clyde Shipbuilders commissioned by the Scottish Trades Union Congress, under the chair- manship of Professor Raymond Illsley. The author would like to thank the following for their helpful comments: Michael Barratt Brown, Ken Coates, Ken Fleet, Andrew Glyn, John Pollert, Tony Topham, David Yaffe and Sigurd Zienau. Contents Chapter I Page ! Bankruptcy and 'Inefficiency' 9 l Chapter I1 1 Effects of the Bankruptcy Chapter 111 'Efficiency' and the shipbuilding Industry 61 Chapter IV Workers' Control versus Market Rationality Introduction In attempting to measure the likely consequences of the run down of Upper Clyde Shipbuilders detailed assessmentslhave been made of the social costs and benefits whicfi do not enter into the cal- culations of a private company (external economies and diseconomies, employment and other welfare considerations), and which should be taken into account when considering the actions of any private concern from a social point of view. Yet apart from these external factars, does the fact that UCS went bankrupt reflect the fact that it was ineffi- cient within its own private terms? The traditional view is that any individual capita- list in pursuing his own good is also pursuing the good of society. -
