A new approach for the new Millennium SIMON DANIELS This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Nottingham Trent University and Southampton Solent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2012 1 Acknowledgements I wish to express my profound gratitude to the following: My Director of Studies, Professor Patricia Park, who guided me with her wisdom and sound advice in the completion of this work, and patiently steered me on the path which took me from a practitioner to an academic. My Second Supervisor, John Millican, for his professional and intellectual guidance, a sound pilot in labyrinthine channels. Captain Hamish Roberts, mentor, philosopher and friend, with whom my innumerable discussions on philosophy and jurisprudence rarely remained confined within the area of this work, and I am much the better for it. Spyros M Polemis, Chairman of the International Chamber of Shipping and President of the International Shipping Federation, for his invaluable opinion and advice on the search for solutions to the criminalisation problem worldwide. Mr Ashley Ailes, Barrister, who so opportunely reminded me that the question I must ask is, not what is possible, but what is likely. Judge Lewis McCreery would understand. The Masters, retired Masters and senior officers who readily gave of their time and the enormous benefit of their experience – as well as the moral support which encouraged me to find solutions to the problem of criminalisation. 2 Contents Acknowledgements ................................................................................................................ 2 Abstract .................................................................................................................................. 4 Section One: Introduction ...................................................................................................... 5 1.1 Justice or Criminalisation?

Over the same period, the structure of the maritime environment in which they work has changed dramatically, as evidenced by the complex evolution of Fleet Ownership and Management and the resultant challenges in identifying the party liable in a potential action. Paradoxically, the person least able to influence such changes has been the Master, who has seen the key features of their traditional relationship with the ship operator blurring, as the structure of maritime operations has evolved with the demands of social and economic change. The effect of these changes has left the Master with diminishing management influence without losing responsibility. They remain Master Under God, but without God‟s authority over the management of the ship‟s affairs. Faced with an increasing amount of criminal prosecutions globally in recent decades, the shipping industry has met the phenomenon with growing dismay, the downstream consequence of which has raised questions challenging the proportionality and, indeed, the fairness, of criminal accountability, in what is perceived by the maritime community to be a disharmonised system worldwide. The purpose of this work is to examine the many facets of the mischief with which the phenomenon confronts the Master in their professional conduct, both in terms of Flag State and Port State obligations. But the purpose goes further than that, for upon this foundation we can then synthesise options for a solution. Ultimately, this thesis is all about the perception of justice in a globalised maritime community in the twenty first century – but the real challenge is to rationalise a new approach to criminalisation, which would meet the interests of justice both for the Master and the State. In the harsh reality of intractable disputes in the twenty first century, that new approach might mean a compromise, which may not be ideal for the Master or for the State, but would be something which both can live with. 4 Section One: Introduction 1.1 Justice or Criminalisation? Moral standards regulate right and wrong conduct, which underpin the concept of Justice. This must, itself, be defined, in order to present a persuasive argument for the ethics which flow from it. John Stuart Mill first published his seminal work „Utilitarianism‟ in 1861; his definition of Justice has not subsequently been improved: Justice is a name for certain moral classes of moral rules, which concern the essentials of human well-being more nearly, and are therefore of more absolute obligation, than any other rules for the guidance of life.1 The Mischief, which broods at the very heart of the question, demands an understanding of just how the concept of criminal justice has evolved in the accountability of the Master. Such accountability logically should be defined by a single principle against which we judge all actions. Given the Master‟s responsibility for the vessel and the safety of life under the laws of the Flag

  • Is a Floating Storage and Offloading Unit (FSO) Currently Owned by the Norwegian Company Fred Olsen Production
    Supertanker - Knock Nevis The Knock Nevis is a floating storage and offloading unit (FSO) currently owned by the Norwegian company Fred Olsen Production. The unit was previously a supertanker and as such held the record for the world's largest ship. As a tanker the ship was known under the names Seawise Giant ,, Happy Giant , and Jahre Viking .. General Characteristic Tonnage: 260,941 GT (214,793 NT) Length: 458.45 m (1,504.10ft) Beam: 68.8 m (225.72ft) Draft: 29.8 m (97.77ft) Capacity: 564,650 DWT Knock Nevis was built in 1979 at Sumitomo Heavy Industries's Oppama shipyard as Seawise Giant . The ship was built for a Greek owner who was unable to take delivery of the ship. The shipyard then exercised its right to sell the ship. A deal was brokered with Hong Kong shipping magnate C. Y. Tung founder of the shipping line Orient Overseas Container Line. A deal was reached, but Tung required the ship's size be increased by several metres in length and 87,000 metric tons of cargo capacity by jumboisation. Two years later, the vessel was launched and named Seawise Giant .. After the refit, the ship had a capacity of 564,763 metric tons of deadweight (DWT), a length overall of 458.45metres (1,504.1ft) and a draft of 24.611metres (80.74ft). She had 46 tanks, 31,541square metres (339,500sqft) of deck space, and was too large to pass through the English Channel. From 1979 to 2004, she was owned by the company Loki Stream AS.

    ! 1! ! NEMESIS: OIL AND MISSILES IN THE 21st CENTURY PART 1 of 3 SERIALIZED STUDY BY – CAPT. David L.O. Hayward Australian Army Reserve (Retd.) ! ! ! ! ! 2! NEMESIS: OIL AND MISSILES IN THE 21st CENTURY “The country that faced down the tyranny of fascism and communism is now called to challenge the tyranny of oil”, Barack Obama, Detroit Economic Club, May 2007. Introduction Strangulation of the ‘umbilical cord’, our essential global oil supply conduit from the Arabian Gulf to major oil-consuming nations in SE Asia, could gradually choke out our life on our vulnerable planet. Are we already doomed? This paper undertakes a brief historical analysis as to how oil supply contingency was initially perceived, mentions the Oil Tanker War, and discusses the global oil supply chain. The paper focuses on the increasing militarism amongst those oil consumer nations dependent largely upon Middle East hydrocarbons supply. The “Arab Spring” is highlighted together with a cursory analysis of the civil war in Syria. The paper reviews the missile and anti-missile shield arms race, and the geopolitical, economic and military implications for the West before the end of the 21st Century. Chinese perspectives are stated, analysed and broadly critiqued. Cursory findings and conclusions are advanced including suggested reforms to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Recent history has portrayed the never ending struggle for oil supply. In earlier times, the battle for oil supply amongst competing oil-consumer nations was often backed up by intrusive gunboat diplomacy and naval blockade. Today, it is under a much greater threat from missile deployments, and from high speed offshore patrol vessels (OPV) armed with limited-theatre anti-ship missiles (ASBM) and other sophisticated weapons.

    IX. Phase Six: Expansion of the tanker war in the Gulf to include Western navies, while the land and air war of attrition continues: MARCH 1987 to DECEMBER 1987 9.0 The Increasing Importance of the War at Sea Important as the fighting around Basra was in shaping the future of the land war, developments in the Gulf were leading to a new major new phase of the war. January involved more Iraqi and Iranian attacks on Gulf targets than any previous month in the conflict. Iraq struck at Kharg Island, Iran's transloading facilities at Sirri, and Iran's shuttle tankers and oil facilities. These strikes did not make major cuts in Iran's oil exports, but they did force Iran sent another purchasing mission to Greece, London, and Norway to buy 15 more tankers. Iraqi aircraft continued to strike at tankers and the Iranian oil fields. They hit Iran's Cyrus and Norouz fields in late March and April, as well as the Ardeshir oil field, and they continued attacks on Iranian shipping to Sirri. Nevertheless, Iraq still did not score the kind of successes it had scored against Kharg and Iraq's tanker shuttle the previous year. Iran's exports remained relatively high.
