Electric Marine Vessels and Aquanaut Crafts ELECTRIC MARINE VESSELS AND AQUANAUT CRAFTS. [3044] The invention is related to Electro motive and electric generating clean and green, Zero Emission and sustainable marine vessels, ships, boats and the like. Applicable for Submersible and semisubmersible vessels as well as Hydrofoils and air-cushioned craft, speeding on the body of water and submerged in the body of water. The Inventions provides a Steam Ship propelled by the kinetic force of steam or by the generated electric current provided by the steam turbine generator to a magnet motor and generator. Wind turbine provided on the above deck generating electric current by wind and hydroelectric turbines made below the hull mounted under the hull. Mounted in the duct of the hull or in the hull made partial longitudinal holes. Magnet motor driven the rotor in the omnidirectional nacelle while electricity is generating in the machine stator while the turbine rotor or screw propeller is operating. The turbine rotor for propulsion is a capturing device in contrary to a wind, steam turbine or hydro turbine rotor blades. [3045] The steam electric ship generates electricity and desalinates sea water when applicable. [3046] Existing propulsion engines for ships are driven by diesel and gas engines and hybrid engines, with at least one angle adjustable screw propeller mounted on the propeller shaft with a surrounding tubular shroud mounted around the screw propeller with a fluid gap or mounted without a shroud mounted below the hull at the aft. The duct comprises: a first portion of which horizontal width is varied from one side to the other side; and a second portion connected to one side of the first portion and having the uniform horizontal width. The invention is also applicable for water going vessels with wind, hydraulic and steam turbine generators mountable below the hull on deck on the wheel house as well as the sides submerges and/or not submerged. Turbines are made in the body of the ship for hydro turbines or wind turbines or both for the generation of electricity for power supply and for propulsion of the ship and disalinating sea water. DISCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART. [3047] The Super structure of the marine going vessels is built in A ship dock. Dock are made of sections wherein the ship is made in sections. The ship is made in sections and assembled in the drydock starting from the hull and the sections below the super structure or below deck lower sections are transported to the drydock and hoisted by the crane riding on tracks along the dock sides on arranged tracks for hoisting and lowering the section in place where welded and merged with the substructure sections of the hull, welded and merge. The inner components and machinery and the ships engine and motors are hoisted and placed and mounted, where after the upper deck section are lower on deck and merged welded such as the wheel house or helm. Accommodation for crew, passengers, machinery cargo, etc. The steam engine is arranged in the machine room with the drive shaft or propeller shaft extend from the hull in waterproof and operable bearing. [3048] A vessel comprise a plurality of hermetically sealed floating tubular structures of rectangle cross section widely separated and connected constituting the hull including the Superstructure above the hull of less wide then the hull. The ship’s hull is composed of two tubular section or three with partial third hull for housing the propulsion system. Construction of the superstructure can be molded from supper allows where ships are made of thick steel plates bend by large hydraulic compressors and bending machines and rollers etc. The structure is Composed of lightweight aluminum composed steel alloys, and modern solid-state material such as carbon fibers and composites. of ties and struts grinders arches and supper alloy beams. The hull of a ship can be provided with at least one or more ducts for propulsion by axial turbine rotors and generators arranged in the ducted hull and electrically connected with the vessel operating and navigating system. May comprise a ruder attached to the keel on the rear tubular section of the hull. SUPERSTRUCTURE WITH INDESTRUCTIBLE HULL. [3049] According to Nature and Physics the substructure or the ship’s hull requires a molded double hull which is pneumatically compressed between the layers of the hull which makes the hull indestructible and unbreakable with the inner load and superstructure properly balanced therein for transferring the load equally along the entire hull. [3050] The hull is designed with a double hull wherein between the hull a reinforcing structure is provided of horizontal and vertical strips connecting the two layer of the hull providing squire figure between the two- layer forming the inner and outer hull of the vessel. Which indicates that all the internal and external hull connected, and mounted component is airtight connected. The strips forming the reinforcing structure are perforated with holes that serve for air-passages through the strips along the internal hull. [3051] Where logic dictates that even when molding the ship’s hull out of solid state plastic and compressing the hull with wherein the lower hull the compressor connections is molded in form of a flange pipe whereon bolted air tight with rubber gasket or nylon packing the air valve connected to the compressor. A certain amount of air or gas pressure in bar or PSI, the inner and outer hull solidify in extreme solid state, state. Logic also indicates that by firing a cannon ball on the hull the cannon ball will bounce back when pressurized at the Propper PSI. This is applicable for all types of ships boats and the like. For aircrafts, automobiles, cars and the like. [3052] Hull and bow designs are of different embodiments for different types of ships such as a roll on roll of ship hull divided in numbers of deck levels interconnected by ramps and elevators of the cargo unit vessel with uninterrupted rectangular box shaped vessel hull. Multi hull ship with “S” shape section. Including mono hulls and Catamaran. For improving the characteristics of an ice breaker hull or the bow by compressing the bow with the lower bow section that presses on the ice surface. The hull can be compressed from the aft till the bow upper top and even the upper structure walls. A hard chine hull having joint chine frame components. The ballast water lines are between 49% and 80% of cargo ships. [3053] The steam turbine structure is arranged in the machine room in longitudinal direction like the engine block. The steam turbine is lowered in the hull in the machine chamber and mounted with the machine frame electrically connected and hydraulically with the water pipes and gas cooling system. Starting from the boiler room and subsequently connected by a steel wall two compression chambers besides separated by a steel alloy wall in longitude with the outer wall connected to the turbine chamber. The turbine chamber comprises double arranged turbines. The first large turbine and the second smaller turbine with the same axial length of turbine rotor and coupled intake to exhaust, coupled with the first exhaust to the second steam turbine intake. [3054] The steam turbine water supply is pumped in tank above the boiler chamber that maintains the water level in the boiler chamber. The discharge tank below the turbine chamber is clean water that can be pumped to a tank and applied in the vessel. The machine room comprises a transformer coupled to the turbine generators supplying serval voltages that is regulated coupled by switchgears and conducted to levels of the ship and power regulators and power supplies. [3055] A perpendicular rotor that interact linear with fluid pushes a large volume of fluid whereby pushing the ship with that large force forward unlike a propeller that screws itself and the vessel forward with reduced surface and force slicing through fluid. The invention provides a broad choice of propulsion systems. By applying a dual rotor with the plurality of blades mashing in a casing wherein mounted on an axis in operable bearings an electric motor in the rotor hub. The casing comprising a center intake of the two-rotor halves at the center. And a conic exhaust from large to increased exhaust nozzle. The horizontal casing is mounted with the lower rear hull in operable bearing wherein the bearing mount rotary electric connectors are providing electric connections. [3056] The magnet motor operates the main screw propeller by a current applied to the magnet where around the stator armature is fixed and insulated mounted from the casing and in the machine casing. The cylindrical iron armature comprises slots machined out in certain matrix wherein the thick wrapped wires are woven by a machine which compresses an insulating layer and the coils with needles type rods in the slots. The external leads are screwed insulated on the connectors on the connecting panel. The rotor and stator is mounted in a solid aluminum casing the magnet is fixed mounted on the drive shaft extending horizontal or vertical from the hull in the body of water mounted with a screw propeller. [3057] The generator is coupled to the power supply generating and providing constant electricity while the vessel is propelled by the electric generator and motor. The generated current can be supplied to the second motor that operates and generates current and a third motor and so on. [3058] The inventions relate to a Steam Ship. The vessel comprises a steam boiler and compression chambers in the machine chamber wherein the diesel engine or combustion engine is omitted, and the steam turbine machine is arranged.

  • Malta Fisheries
    PROJECT: FAO COPEMED ARTISANAL FISHERIES IN THE WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN Malta Fisheries The Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture of Malta By: Ignacio de Leiva, Charles Busuttil, Michael Darmanin, Matthew Camilleri. 1. Introduction The Maltese fishing industry may be categorised mainly in the artisanal sector since only a small number of fishing vessels, the larger ones, operate on the high seas. The number of registered gainfully employed full-time fishermen is 374 and the number of vessels owned by them is 302. Fish landings recorded at the official fish market in 1997 amounted to a total of 887 metric tonnes, with a value of approx. Lm 1.5 million (US$4,000,000). Fishing methods adopted in Malta are demersal trawling, "lampara" purse seining, deep-sea long-lining, inshore long-lining, trammel nets, drift nets and traps. The most important commercial species captured by the Maltese fleet are included as annex 1. 2. Fishing fleet The main difference between the full-time and artisanal category is that the smaller craft are mostly engaged in coastal or small scale fisheries. The boundary between industrial and artisanal fisheries is not always well defined and with the purpose of regional standardisation the General Fisheries Council for the Mediterranean (GFCM), at its Twenty-first Session held in Alicante, Spain, from 22 to 26 May 1995, agreed to set a minimum length limit of 15 metres for the application of the "Agreement to Promote Compliance with International Conservation and Management Measures by Fishing Vessels on the High Seas" and therefore Maltese vessels over 15 m length should be considered as industrial in line with this agreement.

  • Women in Fisheries
    FOREWORD We organized the Global Symposium on Women in Fisheries through the recommendation made in the International Symposium on Women in Fisheries held four years ago in Chiangmai, in conjunction with the 5th Asian Fisheries Forum. We are pleased to see the number of participants involved in women in fisheries issues growing. The Symposia have also attracted interested men and women who participated actively in the discussions. From women issues at the Asian level, which was the main focus of the Chiangmai Symposium, we have moved towards issues at the global level in the Kaoshiung Symposium. This time, participants from all corners of the earth met to discuss this very important topic. After the failures in many of the development projects planned by international agencies in the 1960s and 1970s, where women were excluded in the planning and implementation phase, experts realized that the sustainability of projects require the participation from both women and men–not as woman and man per se, but as a community. This Symposium and the earlier one, although largely focusing on women, also raised several gender issues, among which were the involvement of communities in the sapyaw fishery in the Philippines, and the vulnerability of fishers and their families to HIV/AIDS. The next logical step is to move towards gender and fisheries (GAF), instead of focusing just on women. The methodology developed in gender and development (GAD) programs could be utilized for GAF studies, so that the constraints and inequity among men and women may be better understood, and recommendations made to overcome the inequity.

  • Web-Based Integrated Precise Positioning System Design and Testing for Moving Platforms in Offshore Surveying
    Web-Based Integrated Precise Positioning System Design and Testing for Moving Platforms in Offshore Surveying KORKMAZ Mahmut Olcay, GÜNEY Caner, AVCI Özgür, Turkey PAKDİL Mete Ercan, ÇELİK Rahmi Nurhan, Turkey Key words: Offshore Drilling, GPS/GNSS, Petrol Platform, Positioning, Navigation SUMMARY Positions of points which are decided to drill exploration and development wells are defined after some feasibility studies in petroleum exploration activities carried out in offshore sea areas. For the wells that are planned to drill or to develop in the offshore sea areas, petroleum platforms (in shallow sea: jack-up platforms, in deep/ultra deep sea: semi-submersible, and in deep sea/ultra deep: drillship) must be transported from another well location that was drilled before or from a port to new well location whose coordinates are predefined. Carrying this platform (called Rig Moving) to this location by its own engine or by trailer vehicles (or tug boats or submersible barges) and locating the axis direction of the drilling rig of the platform to predefined well place inside of limits precisely are very important parts of whole study. Moreover, this platform must be oriented according to a predefined bearing. Equipments used in exploration activities which are carried out in offshore sea areas are very expensive. While cost of a well drilled in shallow offshore is a few ten million dollars, of which drilled in deep/ultra deep offshore is generally a number of hundred million dollars. Thus, even a small deviation from the planned route of the platform may delay whole study and cause extra costs. Also, because of the movements of semi-submersible or drillship platform that is conveyed to planned well location, if the axis of the drilling rig pass over the security circle limits (caused by environmental conditions, such as, waves, winds, currents, weather or other conditions, such as, excessive thrusters force of the power engine, erroneous real time positioning data etc.) the equipments may be injured and this situation may prevent whole study proceed.
