For those of you who did not, could not or would not attend Posi- donia, I’m pleased to report that despite Greece’s well-publicized financial troubles, the 2012 event Iseemed to go off without a hitch. And despite the plethora of bad financial news emanating from both the country and the deep draft maritime sector, based on the quantity and quality of the legendary Posidonia after- hour parties, one would be hard-pressed to say the sector was suffering at all. Housed in the new Metropolitan Exhibition Center near the Athens airport, Posidonia brought out maritime companies from around the world. During the week I had the opportunity with a wide variety of companies, in- cluding several of the largest marine coatings companies. As an overview statement and as a side, I’ve been cov- ering this market for now nearly two decades, but it was in Athens in June 2012 that I’ve fully come to realize that coating manufacturer’s are arguably the most competitive group around. Most of the really good stories, per usual, came with the caveat “I’ll tell you this, but you can’t print it,” but overall the conversations helped to set the shape and tone for a five-person “roundtable” which covers many of the burning questions of the day, from the effects of Ballast Water Treatment Systems technology and Greenhouse Gas Emission controls on ma- rine coatings, to VOC limits and PSPC for Cargo Oil Tanks; to emerging work through the IMO on a Polar Code and the ban of biocidal antifouling paint in polar regions. Insightful responses to five topical questions begins on page 30. For regular readers of our pages, the cover might seem a bit out of character, but given the proliferation of soft- ware solutions across the maritime sector, and the ever widening use of high capacity, high speed comms from ship-to-shore, the matter of Maritime Cyber Security is fast climbing the maritime security “to do” list. CDR Emil A. Muccin, USMS and an assistant professor in Nautical Science/Marine Transportation at the United States Merchant Marine Academy contributes an authoritative look at the new definition of “Survival at Sea,” highlighting some dangers and precautions when creating and maintaining your shore-to-ship connections. The Arctic The overriding theme for this edition, which is hard to fully embrace topically due to the heat wave that has MARITIME been sweeping the U.S.

  • Organizational Forms in Professional Cycling – Efficiency Issues of the UCI Pro Tour
    Organizational Forms in Professional Cycling – Efficiency Issues of the UCI Pro Tour Luca Rebeggiani§ * Davide Tondani DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 345 First Version: August 2006 This Version: July 2007 ISSN: 0949–9962 ABSTRACT: This paper gives a first economic approach to pro cycling and analyses the changes induced by the newly introduced UCI Pro Tour on the racing teams’ behaviour. We develop an oligopolistic model starting from the well known Cournot framework to analyse if the actual setting of the UCI Pro Tour leads to a partially unmeant behaviour of the racing teams. In particular, we show that the blamed regional concentration of their race participation depends on a lack of incentives stemming from the licence assignation procedure. Our theo- retical results are supported by empirical data concerning the performance of the racing teams in 2005 and 2006. As a recommendation for future improvements, we derive from the model the need for a relegation system for racing teams. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Der Aufsatz stellt die erste ökonomische Analyse des professionellen Radsports dar. Er analysiert insbesondere die Anreizwirkungen der neuen UCI Pro Tour auf Teams und Fahrer. Ausgehend von dem bekannten Cournot-Ansatz entwickeln wir ein einfaches Oligopol-Modell, um zu untersuchen, ob die der- zeitige Pro Tour-Organisation zu einem unerwünschten Verhalten der Teilnehmer führt. Wir zeigen, dass insbe- sondere das Problem der geographischen Konzentration der Rennteilnahmen der Teams von den mangelnden Anreizen abhängt, die vom jetzigen Lizenzvergabesystem ausgehen. Unsere theoretischen Ergebnisse werden durch empirische Daten aus der Pro Tour 2005 und 2006 gestützt. Als Empfehlung für zukünftige Entwicklun- gen leiten wir aus dem Modell die Notwendigkeit einer Öffnung der Pro Tour ab, mit Auf- und Abstiegsmög- lichkeiten für Rennteams.

  • “Spot-And-Sweep” Blasting As a Cost Effective Method of Underwater and Outer Hull Surface Preparation
    Evaluation of “Spot-and-Sweep” Blasting as a Cost Effective method of Underwater and Outer Hull Surface Preparation Prepared for: National Shipbuilding Research Program Surface Preparation and Coatings Panel (SPC) Submitted by: Gordon Kuljian, Consultant Stephen Cogswell, BAE Systems Southeast Shipyards John Odwazny, Chariot Robotics J. Peter Ault, P.E., Elzly Technology Corporation May 2012 Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Category B Data – Government Purpose Rights. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The current U.S. Navy underwater hull surface preparation strategy is to completely remove the coating systems after an 8-year service life. This is accomplished through abrasive blasting or ultra-high water- jetting (UHPWJ) and is the only strategy approved under NAVSEA Standard Item 009-32 (preservation). Surface preparation in the commercial arena (general cargo fleet, tankers, bulkers, and cruise liners) generally consists of repairing the system at 36-60 month intervals by removing only loose or delaminated coating, applying primer to exposed steel, adding additional anti-corrosive as needed and applying full antifouling coats. Such a practice is termed “spot-and-sweep blasting”. This project examined using commercially available high speed semi-automated robots in conjunction with ultra-high pressure water-jetting (UHPWJ). This process of high speed spot-and-sweep surface preparation is being used now and for the past several years in yards throughout Europe, the Middle East, Japan, Singapore, and the Caribbean. The concept is approximately 5%-10% of the anti-corrosive coating breaks down periodically and therefore it is redundant and unnecessary to completely remove 90%-95% of intact coating to bare metal, as is the current requirement in Standard Item 009-32, each time the coating system is renewed.

  • Assessment of Vessel Requirements for the U.S. Offshore Wind Sector
    Assessment of Vessel Requirements for the U.S. Offshore Wind Sector Prepared for the Department of Energy as subtopic 5.2 of the U.S. Offshore Wind: Removing Market Barriers Grant Opportunity 24th September 2013 Disclaimer This Report is being disseminated by the Department of Energy. As such, the document was prepared in compliance with Section 515 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106-554) and information quality guidelines issued by the Department of Energy. Though this Report does not constitute “influential” information, as that term is defined in DOE’s information quality guidelines or the Office of Management and Budget's Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review (Bulletin), the study was reviewed both internally and externally prior to publication. For purposes of external review, the study and this final Report benefited from the advice and comments of offshore wind industry stakeholders. A series of project-specific workshops at which study findings were presented for critical review included qualified representatives from private corporations, national laboratories, and universities. Acknowledgements Preparing a report of this scope represented a year-long effort with the assistance of many people from government, the consulting sector, the offshore wind industry and our own consortium members. We would like to thank our friends and colleagues at Navigant and Garrad Hassan for their collaboration and input into our thinking and modeling. We would especially like to thank the team at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) who prepared many of the detailed, technical analyses which underpinned much of our own subsequent modeling.

  • The Effect of Acquisition Announcements on Stock Returns of Acquiring Firms
    A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of an International Master in Finance from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics and a Professional Master in Finance from the Fundação Getulio Vargas – São Paulo School of Economics THE EFFECT OF ACQUISITION ANNOUNCEMENTS ON STOCK RETURNS OF ACQUIRING FIRMS: A SHORT- AND LONG-TERM STUDY FOR DEVELOPED AND EMERGING COUNTRIES FOCUSING ON DOMESTIC AND CROSS-BORDER ACQUISITIONS AND THE IMPACT OF INSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENT Florian Otto NOVA SBE Student numbers: 3363 & 29365 FGV-EESP Student number: 338939 A Project carried out on the Double Degree EESP-FGV, under supervision of: Professor Rafael Zambrana (NOVA SBE, Lisbon, Portugal) Professor Joelson Sampaio (EESP-FGV, São Paulo, Brazil) Date: 10th September 2017 Abstract This paper uses an empirical event-study approach to investigate the effect of acquisition announcements on the share price of bidding firms. By using a globalised set of acquirers from 14 different markets, this work aims to develop an understanding of the impact of acquisition announcements on developed- and emerging-market acquirers. The sample contains 624 acquisition announcements with target firms located throughout the world between 1997 and 2015. The results contradict the conventional wisdom that developed-market acquirers generally experience losses. Both emerging-market and developed-market bidders gain significantly in the short term. Moreover, for developed-market acquirers, the announcement of cross-border acquisitions (CBAs) yields higher abnormal returns than the announcement of domestic acquisitions. On the other hand, emerging-market bidders gain from announcing domestic acquisitions, and lose substantially when publishing news about CBAs.
