  • Maritime Orientation Package
    MARITIME ORIENTATION PACKAGE Port Nelson 1 MARITIME ORIENTATION PACKAGE Introduction This ‘Maritime Orientation Package’ will introduce the complex Maritime industry to Health Protection Officers (HPOs) who may have to implement and apply health measures within it. Background New Zealand Public Health Units are designated as ‘competent authorities’ by the World Health Organisation for ensuring maritime Points of Entry (POE) comply with the standards required by the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) and the International Maritime Organisation. Most New Zealand Public Health Units have a Maritime POE in their region. The Maritime Environment comprises many unique factors and has its own language rich with acronyms. For a HPO to be competent and feel confident working in the maritime environment they need a basic understanding of: • Vessel Types – their purpose and the possible public health issues associated with them. • The layout of a ship – where to go and what to look for. • Maritime Terminology – communication with the personnel on board and dockside in the lexicon. • The sequence a vessel follows upon entering NZ waters and the ensuing processes; o gaining pratique, o berthing, o discharging and loading cargo, o replenishment of food and water, o refuelling, and o departure for another jurisdiction, and • The suite of documents that ships maintain to show that management practices on board comply with international regulations and requirements. Purpose The purpose of this orientation package is to familiarise HPOs with some background information that will enable them to be able to confidently conduct their duties at the port. The package is in three parts; • maritime terminology, • an illustrated compendium of ship types that might be encountered in NZ waters, and • a schematic showing the layout of a ship.

  • Cable Layer JOSEPH HENRY - NNS Hull #114
    ONE OF A KIND… …and ONE HUNDRED-PLUS YEARS OLD Cable Layer JOSEPH HENRY - NNS Hull #114 On May 7, 1908, the Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) entered into a contract with the U.S. War Department to build a small cable laying vessel. It was NNS’ first and only experience with the construction of such a ship. That lack of experience, coupled with her unusual design resulted in the shipyard suffering a financial loss. But as the company’s motto states, regardless of profit or loss “Always Good Ships” and now, over a hundred years later, the JOSEPH HENRY remains afloat and virtually unchanged when delivered on March 31, 1909. A modest-sized vessel, she measures slightly over 167 feet in length and has a beam of 32 feet. Her displacement is 800 tons; a fraction of the size of the vessels that NNS currently designs and builds. Two coal-fired boilers and a pair of compound reciprocating engines provided a total of 1,000 SHP, which allowed her two, four-bladed propellers to achieve a top speed of 11.3 knots. In order to provide good maneuverability during cable-laying in confined waters, she was also fitted with twin rudders. Fairly elaborate guards to help prevent cables from being entangled with her propellers were also included in her design, as this photo taken following a 2007 bottom cleaning (and before final underwater hull painting) indicates. The JOSEPH HENRY was built for the Submarine Cable Service of the U.S. Army Signal Corps. Her initial duties included laying cables for the army’s fire control systems at coastal fortifications in New York Harbor and elsewhere along the Eastern Coast of the United States and in the Gulf of Mexico.

The present volume, entitled War Diary of the German Naval Staff, Op- erations Division , Part A, Volume 2tf, is the first one of the series to appear. Other volumes will follow shortly. 2. The War Diaries, Part A, are important because they contain a day by day summary of the information available to the German Naval Staff and the decisions reached on the basis thereof. To- gether with the Fuehrer Conferences on Matters Dealing with the German Navy, 1939- 19^5 # which are in the process of being pub- lished by this office, the War Diaries should provide valuable material for the study of naval problems arising from total war. The War Diary, Part A, is also a useful index to the German Naval Archives of World War II; references may be found in the micro- film library of Naval Records and Library.
