The study identified alternative governance structures that could help the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) achieve financial sustainability. This statewide effort was managed by Southeast Conference and guided by a 12- member steering committee of stakeholders from across Alaska. Project tasks included a high-level examination of six basic ferry governance models to assess their suitability for Alaska’s unique geography, markets, and transportation needs. More detailed case studies were conducted with three ferry systems to identify ideas and lessons applicable to AMHS: British Columbia Ferry System, Steamship Authority (Massachusetts), and CalMac Ferries (Scotland). The study also included review of relevant AMHS reports and interviews with key AMHS contacts including senior management and union representatives. The project incorporated extensive public involvement including convening a Statewide Marine Transportation Summit, solicitation of feedback through the project website, outreach to municipal governments and trade organizations throughout Alaska, and a presentation and discussion at Southeast Conference Annual Meeting.

Alleen in WO II hadden N we niemand om handel mee te drijven, in WO 1 lagen de kaar- ten anders. Toen rekenden we iedereen tot vriend en was de handel overal… Hoe voelde het 1914-’18 te leven met een oppermachtige achterbuur, Duitsland, waar de ellende almaar toenam? Wij profiteerden ervan, want handel is handel... Hoe gingen we om met profiteurs, OW'ers: oorlogswinstmakers? Wat was onze houding tegenover 'de vijand' die, anders dan in WO II, niet alleen bestond uit Duitsland? En hoe trotseerden we die an- dere, veel spookachtiger ‘oorlog’: de Spaanse griep, die in Nederland duizenden slachtoffers maakte en wereldwijd miljoenen mensen velde? Nederland in WO1 geeft inzicht in het reilen en zeilen van een natie in een wereld die brandt. De Groene Amsterdammer publiceerde destijds een cartoon die de situatie treffend weergeeft: het leger in loopgraven aan de grenzen, omringd door een wirwar van bordjes met de waarschuwing: ‘Smokkelen verboden’, maar overal liepen smok- kelaars. In de elektrische draadversperring langs de zuidgrens hingen verschrompelde Belgen en aan de oostzijde stonden dreigend de Duitse kanonnen.

På detta sätt skulle en mindre mängd el behöva produceras med fartygets dieselgeneratorer och bunkerkostnaderna skulle fås ner, samt utsläppen minskar. För att få reda på ifall en installation skulle vara möjlig, har mätningar och beräkningar på mängden värme ombord utförts. Kontakt har tagits med en tillverkare av denna typ av system och fartygets klassällskap har konsulterats ifall det finns några hinder för installationen. Resultaten av undersökningarna är att det sannolikt finns goda förutsättningar för en installation, då en tillräcklig mängd värme finns ombord samt plats för själva maskinen. En återbetalningstid på investeringen har också beräknats, baserat på de rådande förutsättningarna, men för att få en riktigt attraktiv investering borde bunkerpriserna öka från nuvarande nivåer.

Photo by Francesco Baldi, Edited by Sandro Baldi Printed by Chalmers Reproservice Gothenburg, Sweden 2016 Abstract Shipping is the backbone of today's economy, as 90% of global trade volumes is transported by sea. Much of our lifestyle today is only made possible by the existence of shipping as a cheap and reliable mean of transportation across the globe. However, the shipping industry has been challenged in the latest years by, among others, fluctuating fuel prices and stricter environmental regulations. Its contribution to global warming, although today relatively small, has been set under scrutiny: for shipping to be part of a sustainable economy, it will need to reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases. Increasing ship energy efficiency allows reducing fuel consumption and, hence, carbon dioxide emissions. The latest years have witnessed a multipli- cation of the efforts in research and development for increasing ship energy efficiency, ranging from improvements of existing components to the devel- opment of new solutions. This has also contributed to ship energy systems to become more complex.
