  • The Commercial & Technical Evolution of the Ferry
    THE COMMERCIAL & TECHNICAL EVOLUTION OF THE FERRY INDUSTRY 1948-1987 By William (Bill) Moses M.B.E. A thesis presented to the University of Greenwich in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2010 DECLARATION “I certify that this work has not been accepted in substance for any degree, and is not concurrently being submitted for any degree other than that of Doctor of Philosophy being studied at the University of Greenwich. I also declare that this work is the result of my own investigations except where otherwise identified by references and that I have not plagiarised another’s work”. ……………………………………………. William Trevor Moses Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Sarah Palmer Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Alastair Couper Date:……………………………. ii Acknowledgements There are a number of individuals that I am indebted to for their support and encouragement, but before mentioning some by name I would like to acknowledge and indeed dedicate this thesis to my late Mother and Father. Coming from a seafaring tradition it was perhaps no wonder that I would follow but not without hardship on the part of my parents as they struggled to raise the necessary funds for my books and officer cadet uniform. Their confidence and encouragement has since allowed me to achieve a great deal and I am only saddened by the fact that they are not here to share this latest and arguably most prestigious attainment. It is also appropriate to mention the ferry industry, made up on an intrepid band of individuals that I have been proud and privileged to work alongside for as many decades as covered by this thesis.

    PUBLIC THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL SESSIONAL COMMITTEE GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION A MET IN THE LONG ROOM, HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, PARLIAMENT HOUSE, HOBART, ON FRIDAY, 1 SEPTEMBER 2017. KING ISLAND SHIPPING AND FREIGHT SERVICES Mr RICHARD LOWRIE, INCAT, WAS CALLED, MADE THE STATUTORY DECLARATION AND WAS EXAMINED. CHAIR (Ms Forrest) - We invite you to talk about yourself, your business and, if you are happy to, about your expertise in the area of addressing freight problems for a small island, if you think there are some options within your business and how that might reflect on the terms of reference of the committee. Mr LOWRIE - I am employed with Incat and have been for over 21 years. I was in a sales and marketing role for the first 13 years, which required a lot of travel and living overseas for the company, getting a good handle on the market and a handle on other islands and other areas similar to King Island. I then moved into a human resources role, which has been my role for the last seven-and-a-half years, but I still very much dabble in sales. We are still trying to develop markets in regions closer to home as well - it is quite exciting as to where that may go - hence, a lot of that work especially in Indonesia of late with their multiple islands and all the issues they face. We feel that with that personal experience and certainly with my boss, Robert Clifford, our product technology has developed to a stage where we think there are different options for King Island and Bass Strait.

Evidence from cases fought through the Crown Courts so far suggested that it was very difficult to define what is meant by significant unmet demand, with consequential inconsistencies in decisions. For instance in Stockton the growth in the number of hire cars was accepted as evidence of unmet demand, whereas in similar circumstances elsewhere that argument has failed. Similarly the degree to which a lack of taxis at peak times or in out-of-cntre locations has been accepted as evidence has varied.

  • FROM CRADLE to GRAVE? the Place of the Aircraft
    FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE? The Place of the Aircraft Carrier in Australia's post-war Defence Force Subthesis submitted for the degree of MASTER OF DEFENCE STUDIES at the University College The University of New South Wales Australian Defence Force Academy 1996 by ALLAN DU TOIT ACADEMY LIBRARy UNSW AT ADFA 437104 HMAS Melbourne, 1973. Trackers are parked to port and Skyhawks to starboard Declaration by Candidate I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma of a university or other institute of higher learning, except where due acknowledgment is made in the text of the thesis. Allan du Toit Canberra, October 1996 Ill Abstract This subthesis sets out to study the place of the aircraft carrier in Australia's post-war defence force. Few changes in naval warfare have been as all embracing as the role played by the aircraft carrier, which is, without doubt, the most impressive, and at the same time the most controversial, manifestation of sea power. From 1948 until 1983 the aircraft carrier formed a significant component of the Australian Defence Force and the place of an aircraft carrier in defence strategy and the force structure seemed relatively secure. Although cost, especially in comparison to, and in competition with, other major defence projects, was probably the major issue in the demise of the aircraft carrier and an organic fixed-wing naval air capability in the Australian Defence Force, cost alone can obscure the ftindamental reordering of Australia's defence posture and strategic thinking, which significantly contributed to the decision not to replace HMAS Melbourne.

  • Cruiser's Port Guide to Piriapolis, Uruguay Compliments of Seven Seas Cruising Association
    Cruiser’s Port Guide To Piriapolis, Uruguay Compliments of Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA) Updated March 2008 Welcome to Puerto Piriapolis, Uruguay! If any word describes the country of Uruguay and its people, the word is “tranquilo”. Founded as a resort town for wealthy Argentinos by entrepreneur Francisco Piria in the 1930’s, Piriapolis is a no- hassle, low-key spot to leave your boat for an extended period or do boat work, but make sure you bring your supplies with you. Approach & marina: Hail Piriapolis Port Control on Channel 16. It’s hit or miss whether they will answer. The entry is straightforward, but watch for shallow areas between the beach and breakwater. Waypoint for the breakwater is 34S52.5/055W17.0. Tie-up is fore and aft with two mooring buoys aft and wharf tie-up on bollards forward. There is no help from any marina staff or the Prefectura so be prepared to tie up yourself although many times other cruisers are available to lend a hand. If you come in at night, there is a fuel dock just south of the TraveLift at which you can tie up till morning. Formalities: A Prefectura representative will usually be waiting on the dock for you to accept your “zarpe” paperwork. If arriving from another country, you must visit Customs (located in the building behind the marina complex), the marina office on the premises, the Prefectura’s office (1/2 mile from the marina) and Immigration, which is a cab or bus ride away at the Punta del Este airport.
