We have the know-how, the engineers, the mechanics and a vast inventory of essential component parts to do the job. That's why we are able to turn out such equipment in a matter of weeks instead of several months that most companies require. And yet; our systems are all custom-built while most others are from a standard line. What's the difference? You needn't accept standard dimensions when our flexibility of design permits us to make units small enough to fit through a watertight door or large enough to air condition an entire ship's quarters. Our units are complete in every detail and only require securing to foundations and connecting to water and electric supply outlets. Repair parts, if needed for any of our equipment, are on the shelves at all of our locations on the East and Gulf Coasts. a Bailey exclusive that is added to our Marine Pax for cooling, heating, water chilling or dehumidification, incorporates a magnetic controller and refrig- erant control panel in a custom- designed module.

Helping to ensure the security of the maritime shipping networks that continue to dominate global trade and the vast resources of emerging EEZs from asymmetric challenges arguably became many navies’ primary raison d’être.

Deliverable D2.2 discusses in detail the development of models for simulation the state-of-the-art energy technologies and necessary ship systems to evaluate the potential the implementation of the appropriate technologies on-board a reference cargo ship. The models shall be incorporated in the simulation tool libraries for use in other tasks and work packages to evaluate and demonstrate the different potential of the new energy systems’ configurations, which will be developed as part of this project. This report provides the arithmetic methods used to create a selection of the novel energy technologies, as described in detail in Deliverable D3.1, needed to develop and evaluate the new on-board electrical systems’ configurations and power management strategies to be later developed as part of this project. In addition, this report discuss further the modelling of the reference ship’s components and global modelling environment, which are expanded with code necessary to have an overview of all the information that is needed for work in subsequent work packages.

Since Berlin, Paris, Brussels and others have long had a bias against Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, it has been possible to reach a spontaneous verdict on this new affront without any acknowledgement of the actual facts of the situation. Once again, “someone” did not want to adhere to the principles of rules-bound foreign policy and simply acted, failing beforehand to convene an international conference involving all stakeholders, that could draw on the expertise of as many non-governmental organisations as possible! Such a thing is unacceptable, such a thing is un-European, such a country does not belong in the EU, and such a NATO Member State should, if possible, even be expelled from the Alliance, according to some of the particularly agitated critics. Regardless of how many good reasons there might be to denounce Turkey’s intervention, there are two aspects to consider. First, the so-called people's defence militia, the YPG, against which the attack was directed, are not exactly famous in the region as angels of innocence: they are the Syrian sister organisation of the Turkey-based Kurdish PKK Workers Party, which is classified as a terrorist organisation throughout the EU.

She was the last in a series of 5 vessels built in France for Compagnie Nationale Algerienne De Navigation. Throughout their trading life, they have ensured the export of Algerian natural gas from Arzew and Skikda ports to the clients of Sonatrach, the Algerian national oil and gas company. Montoir (France), le 14 March 2008. © Erwan Guéguéniat The 5 LNG tankers were all named after heroes of the Algerian war of independence. The Mostefa Ben Boulaïd, Larbi Ben M'hidi and Bachir Chihani built by Constructions navales et industrielles de la Méditerranée in La Seyne-sur-Mer were scrapped in Turkey in 2017 and 2018 (see "Shipbreaking" # 44, p 31 and # °48, p. 32-33), the Mourad Didouche built in Saint-Nazaire was deflagged, renamed Mourato and beached in Bangladesh in February 2019 (see "Shipbreaking" # 55 p. 41). The Ramdane Abane, the last of the series, is also the last to be scrapped. On October 27, 2014, loaded with 80,000 m3 of gas destined for the Turkish terminal of Botas in the Sea of Marmara, she suffered a blackout in the Dardanelles Strait.
