Led by a Board of Governors and advised by a Scientific Advisory Committee, the CCA’s work encompasses a broad definition ofscience , incorporating the natural, social, and health sciences as well as engineering and the humanities. CCA assessments are conducted by independent, multidisciplinary panels of experts from across Canada and abroad. Assessments strive to identify emerging issues, gaps in knowledge, Canadian strengths, and international trends and practices. Upon completion, assessments provide government decision-makers, researchers, and stakeholders with high-quality information required to develop informed and innovative public policy. All CCA assessments undergo a formal report review and are published and made available to the public free of charge. Assessments can be referred to the CCA by foundations, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, or any level of government. The CCA is also supported by its three founding Member Academies: The Royal Society of Canada (RSC) Founded in 1882, the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) comprises the Academies of Arts, Humanities and Sciences; in addition to Canada’s first national system of multidisciplinary recognition for the emerging generation of Canadian intellectual leadership, The College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists. Its mission is to recognize scholarly, research and artistic excellence, to advise governments and organizations, and to promote a culture of knowledge and innovation in Canada and with other national academies around the world. The Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE) The CAE is the national institution through which Canada’s most distinguished and experienced engineers provide strategic advice on matters of critical importance to Canada. The Academy is an independent, self-governing, and non-profit organization established in 1987. Fellows are nominated and elected by their peers in recognition of their distinguished achievements and career-long service to the engineering profession. Fellows of the Academy, who number approximately 600, are committed to ensuring that Canada’s engineering expertise is applied to the benefit of all Canadians. iv The Value of Commercial Marine Shipping to Canada The Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS) The Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS) recognizes Canadians of great achievement in the academic health sciences. Founded in 2004, CAHS now has over 600 Fellows and appoints new Fellows on an annual basis. The organization is managed by a voluntary Board of Directors and a Board Executive. The Academy brings together Canada’s top-ranked health and biomedical scientists and scholars from all disciplines across our nation’s universities and its healthcare and research institutes to make a positive impact on the urgent health concerns of Canadians. These Fellows evaluate Canada’s most complex health challenges and recommend strategic, actionable solutions. Since 2006 CAHS has successfully engaged the sponsorship of a wide variety of public and private organizations representing patients and families, professionals, health system leaders, policy-makers and service and private industry providers. They have co-invested in rigorous, independent assessments that address key health issues with outcomes that have shaped their strategic policy and initiatives. CAHS mobilizes the best scientific minds to provide independent and timely assessments that inform policy and practice addressing critical health challenges affecting Canadians. We help put change into action for a healthier Canada. www.scienceadvice.ca @scienceadvice Expert Panel on the Social and Economic Value of Commercial Marine Shipping to Canada v Expert Panel on the Social and Economic Value of Commercial Marine Shipping to Canada Under the guidance of its Scientific Advisory Committee, Board of Governors, and Member Academies, the CCA assembled the Expert Panel on the Social and Economic Value of Commercial Marine Shipping to Canada to undertake this project. Each expert was selected for his or her expertise, experience, and demonstrated leadership in fields relevant to this project. Mary R.

Many Canadians neither equate a “Made in South Korea” label with their own economic prosperity nor recognize the need for Canadian exports to reach foreign markets so that, in turn, Canadians can have choices in their purchases at home. While shipping is an enabler of globalized trade, its impacts are broader than just those seen in our local port communities. That is why this report addresses national, regional, and local issues. Shipping cannot be held accountable for the ills of globalization; that is a matter for public policy-makers and beyond the scope of this report. The wording of the charge challenged the Panel. To examine the social and economic value of shipping to Canada indicated a methodological scope greater than the traditional economic impact study. There are many more research disciplines than just the science of economics, so which ones to use became a key decision early in

Eng. Or. Document complet disponible sur OLIS dans son format d’origine Complete document available on OLIS in its original format 1 Summary This report focuses on regulations governing international liner and bulk shipping. Both modes are closely linked to international trade, deriving from it their growth. Also, as a service industry to trade international shipping, which is by far the main mode of international transport of goods, has facilitated international trade and has contributed to its expansion. Total seaborne trade volume was estimated by UNCTAD to have reached 5330 million metric tons in 2000. The report discusses the web of regulatory measures that surround these two segments of the shipping industry, and which have a considerable impact on its performance. As well as reviewing administrative regulations to judge whether they meet their intended objectives efficiently and effectively, the report examines all those aspects of economic regulations that restrict entry, exit, pricing and normal commercial practices, including different forms of business organisation. However, those regulatory elements that cover competition policy as applied to liner shipping will be dealt with in a separate study to be undertaken by the OECD Secretariat Many measures that apply to maritime transport services are not part of a regulatory framework but constitute commercial practices of market operators.

  • Cargo-Handling Equipment on Board and in Port
    Unit 16 CARGO-HANDLING EQUIPMENT ON BOARD AND IN PORT Basic terms cargo-handling equipment front/side loader cargo gear van carrier handling facilities transtainer lifting gear container crane / portainer conveyor belt transit shed elevator warehouse pumping equipment cranes: derrick dockside crane, fork lift truck quay crane, mobile crane container crane straddle carrier gantry crane, tractor deck crane tug-master (ship’s) cargo gear The form of cargo-handling equipment employed is basically determined by the nature of the actual cargo and the type of packing used. The subject of handling facilities raises the important question of mechanization. BULK CARGO HANDLING EQUIPMENT So far as dry bulk cargoes are concerned, handling facilities may be in the form of power-propelled conveyor belts, usually fed at the landward end by a hopper (a very large container on legs) or grabs, which may be magnetic for handling ores, fixed to a high capacity travel1ing crane or travel1ing gantries. These gantries move not only parallel to the quay, but also run back for considerable distances, and so cover a large stacking area, and are able to plumb the ship's hold. These two types of equipment are suitable for handling coal and ores. In the case of bulk sugar or when the grab is also used, the sugar would be discharged into a hopper, feeding by gravity a railway wagon or road vehicle below. Elevators (US) or silos are normally associated with grain. They may be operated by pneumatic suction which sucks the grain out of the ship's hold. SHIP UNLOADERS FRONT LOADER BELT CONVEYOR HOPPER HOPPER SILO / ELEVATOR GRAB TYPE UNLOADERS LOADING BOOM LIQUID CARGO HANDLING EQUIPMENT The movement of liquid bulk cargo , crude oil and derivatives, from the tanker is undertaken by means of pipelines connected to the shore-based storage tanks.
