  • Transforming Shipping Containers Into Primary Care Health Clinics
    Transforming Shipping Containers into Primary Care Health Clinics Project Report Aerospace Vehicles Engineering Degree 27/04/2020 STUDENT: DIRECTOR: Alba Gamón Aznar Neus Fradera Tejedor Abstract The present project consists in the design of a primary health clinic inside intermodal shipping containers. In recent years the frequency of natural disasters has increased, while man-made conflicts continue to afflict many parts of the globe. As a result, societies and countries are often left without access to basic medical assistance. Standardised and ready-to-deploy mobile clinics could play an important role in bringing such assistance to those who need it all over the world. This project promotes the adaptation of the structure of shipping containers to house a primary healthcare center through a multidisciplinary approach. Ranging from the study of containers and the potential environments where a mobile clinic could be of use to the design of all the manuals needed for the correct deployment, operation and maintenance of a mobile healthcare center inside a shipping container, this project intends to combine with knowledge from many sources to develop a product of great human, social and ecological value. 1 Abstract 1 INTRODUCTION 6 Aim 6 Scope 6 Justification 7 Method 8 Schedule 8 HISTORY AND CHARACTERISTICS OF INTERMODAL CONTAINERS 9 History 9 Shipping containers and their architectural use 10 Why use a container? 10 Container dimensions 11 Container types 12 Container prices 14 STUDY OF POSSIBLE LOCATIONS 15 Locations 15 Environmental

  • Structural Design of a Container Ship Approximately 3100 TEU According to the Concept of General Ship Design B-178
    Structural design of a container ship approximately 3100 TEU according to the concept of general ship design B-178 Wafaa Souadji Master Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the double degree: “Advanced Master in Naval Architecture” conferred by University of Liege "Master of Sciences in Applied Mechanics, specialization in Hydrodynamics, Energetics and Propulsion” conferred by Ecole Centrale de Nantes developed at West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin in the framework of the “EMSHIP” Erasmus Mundus Master Course in “Integrated Advanced Ship Design” Ref. 159652-1-2009-1-BE-ERA MUNDUS-EMMC Supervisor: Dr. Zbigniew Sekulski, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin Reviewer: Prof. Robert Bronsart, University of Rostock Szczecin, February 2012 Structural design of a container ship approximately 3100 TEU 3 according to the concept of general ship design B-178 ABSTRACT Structural design of a container ship approximately 3100 TEU according to the concept of general ship design B-178 By Wafaa Souadji The initial design stage is crucial for the ship design, including the ship structural design, as the decisions are here taken fundamental to reach design objectives by establishing basic ship characteristics. Consequently, errors which may appear have the largest impact on the final design. Two main aspects related to the design of structures are typically addressed in the initial design: analysis of strength and cost estimation. The design developed in the dissertation is based on the conceptual design of general containership B-178 built in the Stocznia Szczecińska Nowa, providing its main particulars, hull form as well as the general arrangement. The general objective of the thesis is to carry out the hull structural design based on the functional requirements of the containership.

  • A Literature Review, Container Shipping Supply Chain: Planning Problems and Research Opportunities
    logistics Review A Literature Review, Container Shipping Supply Chain: Planning Problems and Research Opportunities Dongping Song School of Management, University of Liverpool, Chatham Street, Liverpool L69 7ZH, UK; [email protected] Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the container shipping supply chain (CSSC) by taking a logistics perspective, covering all major value-adding segments in CSSC including freight logistics, container logistics, vessel logistics, port/terminal logistics, and inland transport logistics. The main planning problems and research opportunities in each logistics segment are reviewed and discussed to promote further research. Moreover, the two most important challenges in CSSC, digitalization and decarbonization, are explained and discussed in detail. We raise awareness of the extreme fragmentation of CSSC that causes inefficient operations. A pathway to digitalize container shipping is proposed that requires the applications of digital technologies in various business processes across five logistics segments, and change in behaviors and relationships of stakeholders in the supply chain. We recognize that shipping decarbonization is likely to take diverse pathways with different fuel/energy systems for ships and ports. This gives rise to more research and application opportunities in the highly uncertain and complex CSSC environment. Citation: Song, D.

  • Rules for Certification of Cargo Containers 1998
    Rules for Certification of Cargo Containers . Rules for Certification of Cargo Containers 1998 American Bureau of Shipping Incorporated by Act of the Legislature of the State of New York 1862 Copyright © 1998 American Bureau of Shipping Two World Trade Center, 106th Floor New York, NY 10048 USA . Foreword The American Bureau of Shipping, with the aid of industry, published the first edition of these Rules as a Guide in 1968. Since that time, the Rules have reflected changes in the industry brought about by development of stan- dards, international regulations and requests from the intermodal container industry. These changes are evident by the inclusion of programs for the certification of both corner fittings and container repair facilities in the fourth edition, published in 1983. In this fifth edition, the Bureau will again provide industry with an ever broadening scope of services. In re- sponse to requests, requirements for the newest program, the Certification of Marine Container Chassis, are in- cluded. Additionally, the International Maritime Organization’s requirements concerning cryogenic tank con- tainers are included in Section 9. On 21 May 1985, the ABS Special Committee on Cargo Containers met and adopted the Rules contained herein. On 6 November 1997, the ABS Special Committee on Cargo Containers met and adopted updates/revisions to the subject Rules. The intent of the proposed changes to the 1987 edition of the ABS “Rules for Certification of Cargo Containers” was to bring the existing Rules in line with present design practice. The updated proposals incorporated primarily the latest changes to IACS Unified Requirements and ISO requirements.

The secretariat reproduces below the first draft of the Code of Practice for Packing of Cargo Transport Units (CTUs), hereafter referred to as Code of Practice or COP. 2. This first draft of the Code of Practice is based on the decision from the Secretariats to elevate the revised IMO/ILO/UNECE Guidelines for the Packing of Cargo Transport Units to a non- mandatory Code of Practice which provides more detail and technical information than the Guidelines. The Code of Practice is intended to assist governments and employer’ and worker’s organizations in drawing up regulations and can thus be used as models for national legislation (Informal document EG GPC No. 9 (2011)). The information provided in the COP has been put together with the technical assistance and input of the Group of Experts’ correspondence groups and the work of the Secretariat. 3. The Group of Experts may wish to consider the first draft of the Code of Practice, and may already submit in advance their comments, prior to the meeting of 19-20 April, 2012, to the Secretariat at [email protected].
