Project Title: Short Sea Shipping Initiatives and the Impacts on the Texas Transportation System URL: http://tti.tamu.edu/documents/0-5695-1.pdf 16. Abstract This report examines the potential effects of short sea shipping (SSS) development on the Texas transportation system. The project region includes Texas, Mexico, and Central America. In the international arena, the most likely prospects are for containerized shipments using small container ships. In the domestic arena, the most likely prospects are for coastwise shipments using modified offshore service vessels or articulated tug/barges. Only three Texas ports handle containers consistently (Houston accounts for 95% of the total), and three more handle containers sporadically. -
A History of the Cruise Ship Industry
Resources (/Resources/) // Blog (/Resources/Blog) November 19, 2018 A HISTORY OF THE CRUISE SHIP INDUSTRY Cruising has come a long way from the industry’s beginnings as a way for steamship companies to supplement their earnings from hauling cargo and mail across the ocean. In 2018, an estimated 27.2 million people (https://www.f-cca.com/downloads/2018-Cruise-Industry- Overview-and-Statistics.pdf) are expected to take a cruise vacation, making the $126 billion industry (https://www.f-cca.com/downloads/2018-Cruise-Industry-Overview-and-Statistics.pdf) one of the fastest growing in the leisure travel market. Today’s ships are more luxurious (https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-ships/symphony-of-the- seas) than some land-based resorts, with spas, multiple bars, restaurants, lounges, and entertainment venues. Some even include onboard waterparks and ice-skating rinks. While many vacationing passengers enjoy these megaships and the over-the-top resort amenities— rock climbing, anyone? — they present special challenges for the crews hired to maneuver and manage these vessels while keeping all aboard safe, and require special training. Resolve Maritime Academy (https://www.resolveacademy.com/Training- Courses/Courses/Advanced-Shiphandling-Conventional) offers a ve-day course on advanced ship handling that covers the complex procedures involved in maneuvering large, conventionally powered vessels. The course uses Resolve Maritime Academy’s full-mission bridge and mini-bridge simulators to teach proper procedures for situations such as docking and undocking, propulsion loss, maneuvering in high winds and currents, and avoiding collisions. In addition to instruction on handling for cruise ships, the course can be customized for container, bulker, offshore, and oil and gas vessels. -

The Ghost Ship on the Delaware
The Ghost Ship on the Delaware By Steven Ujifusa For PlanPhilly Thousands pass by the Ghost Ship on the Delaware River every day. They speed past it on Columbus Boulevard, I-95, and the Walt Whitman Bridge. They glance at it while shopping at IKEA. For some, it is just another eyesore on Philadelphia’s desolate waterfront, no different from the moldering old cruisers and troop transports moored in the South Philadelphia Navy Yard. The Ghost Ship on the Delaware. www.ssunitedstatesconservancy.org Some may pull over to the side of the road and take a closer look through a barbed wire fence. They then realize that the Ghost Ship is of a different pedigree than an old troop transport. Its two finned funnels, painted in faded red, white and blue, are dramatically raked back. Its superstructure is low and streamlined, lacking the balconies and large picture windows that make today’s cruise ships look like floating condominiums. Its hull is yacht-like, defined by a thrusting prow and gracefully rounded stern. Looking across the river to Camden, one might see that the hull of the Ghost Ship bears more than a passing resemblance to the low-slung, sweeping one of the battleship U.S.S. New Jersey. This ship is imposing without being ponderous, sleek but still dignified. Even though her engines fell silent almost forty years ago, she still appears to be thrusting ahead at forty knots into the gray seas of the North Atlantic. Finally, if one takes the time to look at the bow of the Ghost Ship, it is clear that she has no ordinary name. -

Energy Assurance Daily, June 22, 2010
ENERGY ASSURANCE DAILY Tuesday Evening, June 22, 2010 Major Developments Update: Federal Judge Blocks Government-Imposed Deepwater Drilling Moratorium A U.S. District Judge blocked the federal government's six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling, saying it seemed clear "that the federal government had been pressed by what happened on the Deepwater Horizon into an otherwise sweeping confirmation that all Gulf deepwater drilling activities put us all in a universal threat of irreparable harm." Numerous service companies had asked the judge to reject the moratorium, saying the government had imposed it arbitrarily. The Obama Administration said it would immediately appeal the decision. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/22/AR2010062200237.html?wpisrc=nl_natlalert BP Recovers About 25,830 Barrels of Oil at Site of Blown-Out Well in Gulf of Mexico June 21 BP collected about 15,560 barrels of oil, flared approximately 10,270 barrels of oil, and flared about 52.2 million cubic feet of natural gas on June 20 via its dual collection system at the blown-out MC252 well in the Gulf of Mexico, the company said on its website. http://www.bp.com/extendedsectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=40&contentId=7061813 Update: U.S. CSB to Investigate Deepwater Horizon Explosion The U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) plans to investigate the root causes of the April 20 explosion onboard the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico.

Winch and HMPE Rope Limitations
Day 2 Amsterdam, The Netherlands Paper No. 1 Organised by the ABR Company Ltd High Performance Winches for High Performance Tugs – Winch and HMPE Rope Limitations Barry Griffi n, BA Griffi n Associates, Bainbridge Island, WA, USA Gary Nishimura, Markey Machinery Company, Seattle, WA, USA SYNOPSIS In the past two years, Markey Machinery Company has been expanding its line of High Performance Render/Recover™ Hawser Winches to meet the demands for escort tugs that are being called upon to operate under increasingly strenuous offshore conditions. The new fl agship model is four 760hp DESDF-48WF-760hp double drum hawser winches developed for Moran Towing and Groupo Boluda for use on tugs to be based at the new Energia Costa Azul LNG terminal located near Ensenada, Mexico on the Baja California peninsula. These tugs are required to bring tankers to dock in 3m 10-second period sea conditions and were preceded by 100hp, 200hp and 250hp versions developed for other customers. Markey is employing cutting-edge technologies such as 3D-modelling, fi nite element analysis and numerical modelling in conjunction with model-testing to increase its capability to produce designs that meet the increasingly demanding requirements for ship assist and escort. As a contributing partner in the Marin Safe Tug project, the company is working to improve the overall safety and effi ciency of the companies that operate at exposed offshore and near-shore terminals. INTRODUCTION 20 years reveals increases in winch power from 55kW The Markey ARR winches and PSR Plasma HMPE to more than 550kW, generally without commensurate ropes fi tted to tugs servicing Sempra Energy’s Energia increases in tug direct bollard pull.
