  • Heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia (1991-2019)
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 1 September 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202109.0027.v1 Article Heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia (1991-2019) Jovan Jonovski1, * 1 Macedonian Heraldic Society; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +38970252989 Abstract: Every country has some specific heraldry. In this paper, we will consider heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia, understood by the multitude of coats of arms, and armorial knowledge and art. The paper covers the period from independence until the name change (1991-2019). It co- vers the state coat of arms of the Republic of Macedonia especially the 2009 change. Special atten- tion is given to the development of the municipal heraldry, including the legal system covering the subject. Also personal heraldry developed in 21 century is considered. The paper covers the de- velopment of heraldry and the heraldic thought in the given period, including the role of the Macedonian Heraldic Society and its journal Macedonian Herald in development of theoretic and practical heraldry, as well as its Register of arms and the Macedonian Civic Heraldic System. Keywords: Heraldry in Macedonia; Macedonian civic heraldry; Republic of Macedonia. 1. Introduction The Republic of Macedonia became independent from the Socialist Federative Re- public of Yugoslavia with the Referendum of 8 September 1991. The Democratic Federal Macedonia was formed during the first session of the Anti-Fascist Assembly for the Na- tional Liberation of Macedonia (ASNOM) on 2 August 1944 (it later became the People’s Republic of Macedonia, a federal unit of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia).

    Running head: THE IMPACT OF VESSEL BUNCHING 1 The Impact of Vessel Bunching: Managing Roll-on-Roll-off Terminal Operations Jonathan E. Gurr California State University Maritime Academy THE IMPACT OF VESSEL BUNCHING 2 Abstract The operations at port terminals are under consent examination, consistently investigating the various operational challenges effecting efficiency and performance. In a study to identify the consequences of vessel bunching, vessels that arrive within a short amount of time between each vessel, this paper presents an approach to forecast Ro-Ro terminal capacity while referencing the various input factors: vessel arrival schedule, inbound cargo volume, and rail or truck out-gate volume. Using a quantitative analysis derived using actual historical data from a Ro-Ro terminal at the Port of Long Beach, California, the proposed approach applied an additional probability factor that vessel bunching would occur. The analysis highlights the effectiveness of using actual historical data when examining a Ro-Ro terminal’s capacity and how the resulting information could be communicated inclusively with all stakeholders involved in port operations as means of performance improvement. Keywords: vessel bunching, ro-ro, terminal, forecast, capacity, risk assessment THE IMPACT OF VESSEL BUNCHING 3 The Impact of Vessel Bunching Seaports remain the most common way to transfer goods from one form of transportation to another. Global ports are responsible for handling over 80 per cent of global merchandise trade in volume and more than two thirds of its value (UNCTAD, 2017). As key nodes in the supply chain, ports are under continual pressure to implement efficiency improvements and cost saving measures.

Consequently, errors which may appear have the largest impact on the final design. Two main aspects related to the design of structures are typically addressed in the initial design: analysis of strength and cost estimation. The design developed in the dissertation is based on the conceptual design of general containership B-178 built in the Stocznia Szczecińska Nowa, providing its main particulars, hull form as well as the general arrangement. The general objective of the thesis is to carry out the hull structural design based on the functional requirements of the containership.

  • Lighter Barges: an Alternative to Servicing Post- Panamax Vessels at the Port of Wilmington, NC
    Lighter Barges: An Alternative to Servicing Post- Panamax Vessels at the Port of Wilmington, NC Jonathan E. Bingham1, Kathryn R. Cyr1, Lawrence B. Cahoon2 1- Marine and Coastal Ocean Policy Program* UNC Wilmington, Wilmington, NC 28403 2- Dept. of Biology and Marine Biology UNC Wilmington, Wilmington, NC 28403; [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION The North Carolina State Ports Authority recently proposed a costly plan to deepen and widen the Port of Wilmington’s navigation channel in order to accommodate large post- Panamax vessels. This paper proposes that there is another, potentially more appealing and affordable alternative: shallow-draft lighter barges. Ports in areas like Hong Kong and the lower Mississippi River use variations of lighter barges to bring cargo to and from ships and ports. Wilmington’s unique location and navigational challenges make lighter barges a viable option that deserves consideration. American port facilities and channels have grown to accommodate Panamax sized vessels over the last century. The existing Panama Canal channels feature a depth of about 40 ft. The channel depth and the dimensions of the first two lock systems (106 ft. width) turned out to be the limiting factors for the Panamax vessel design and size. However, in June of 2016, the situation will change for U.S. harbors when the newly constructed Panama Canal expansion is completed. The project creates a new lane for ship traffic with larger locks than the original channels, allowing for wider ships with deeper drafts (Fig. 1). New construction is expected to double the canal’s current capacity of 300 million tons per year (Dervarics 2015).

  • Potential for Terrorist Nuclear Attack Using Oil Tankers
    Order Code RS21997 December 7, 2004 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Port and Maritime Security: Potential for Terrorist Nuclear Attack Using Oil Tankers Jonathan Medalia Specialist in National Defense Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary While much attention has been focused on threats to maritime security posed by cargo container ships, terrorists could also attempt to use oil tankers to stage an attack. If they were able to place an atomic bomb in a tanker and detonate it in a U.S. port, they would cause massive destruction and might halt crude oil shipments worldwide for some time. Detecting a bomb in a tanker would be difficult. Congress may consider various options to address this threat. This report will be updated as needed. Introduction The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, heightened interest in port and maritime security.1 Much of this interest has focused on cargo container ships because of concern that terrorists could use containers to transport weapons into the United States, yet only a small fraction of the millions of cargo containers entering the country each year is inspected. Some observers fear that a container-borne atomic bomb detonated in a U.S. port could wreak economic as well as physical havoc. Robert Bonner, the head of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has argued that such an attack would lead to a halt to container traffic worldwide for some time, bringing the world economy to its knees. Stephen Flynn, a retired Coast Guard commander and an expert on maritime security at the Council on Foreign Relations, holds a similar view.2 While container ships accounted for 30.5% of vessel calls to U.S.

  • 13 Ship-Breaking.Com
    Information bulletin on September 26th, 2008 ship demolition #13 June 7th to September 21st 2008 Ship-breaking.com February 2003. Lightboat, Le Havre. February 2008 © Robin des Bois From June 7th to September 21st 2008, 118 vessels have left to be demolished. The cumulative total of the demolitions will permit the recycling of more than 940,000 tons of metals. The 2008 flow of discarded vessels has not slowed down. Since the beginning of the year 276 vessels have been sent to be scrapped which represents more than 2 millions tons of metals whereas throughout 2007 289 vessels were scrapped for a total of 1.7 milion tons of metals. The average price offered by Bangladeshi and Indian ship breakers has risen to 750-800 $ per ton. The ship owners are taking advantage of these record prices by sending their old vessels to be demolished. Even the Chinese ship breaking yards have increased their price via the purchase of the container ship Provider at 570$ per ton, with prices averaging more than 500 $. However, these high prices have now decreased with the collapse of metal prices during summer and the shipyards are therefore renegotiating at lower price levels with brokers and cash buyers sometimes changing the final destination at the last minute. This was the case of the Laieta, which was supposed to leave for India for 910 $ per ton and was sold to Bangladesh at 750 $ per ton. The price differences have been particularly notable in India; the shipyards prices have returned to 600 $ per ton. From June to September, India with 60 vessels (51%) to demolish, is ahead of Bangladesh with 40 (34%), The United States 8 (7%), China 4 (4%), Turkey 2 (2%), Belgium and Mexico, 1 vessel each (1%).

  • Appendix: Case Studies of Environmental Dredging Projects Table 1
    1. Introduction This section describes the sources of available data on which much of the performance standards is based. Completed dredging projects that provide information on upstream and downstream water column conditions, as well as on mass of contaminant removed, provide a basis for determining historical rates of loss and dredging-related recontamination. It was thought that dredging projects that have been completed or are currently in progress can provide practical information on resuspension issues. Information on water quality data, equipment used, monitoring techniques, etc. from these projects will give insight as how to develop the performance standards. For the resuspension standard, water column monitoring results available from other sites were used to complete an analysis of the case study data. The process used to gather relevant information from dredging sites and the information obtained are included herein. It is also important to review all information that exists for the Hudson River. Available data was used to assess the existing variability in the Hudson River water quality, and can be used to estimate the water column quality during and resulting from the dredging operation. Descriptions of the data sets available to perform this analysis are provided herein. 2. Case Studies Objective and Overview During completion of the Hudson River Feasibility Study (FS) and the associated Responsiveness Summary (RS), the GE dredging database, the USEPA website, and other online sources were investigated to identify dredging projects that were relevant and similar to that proposed for the Hudson River in size and complexity. The USEPA and State agencies were contacted to gather information for each dredging project.

  • CHEVRONS Chevron (Insignia)
    ____________________________________________________ CHEVRONS Chevron (insignia) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_%28insignia%29 Jump to: navigation, search "Argent a chevron gules" A chevron (also spelled cheveron, especially in older documents) is an inverted V-shaped pattern. The word is usually used in reference to a kind of fret in architecture, or to a badge or insignia used in military or police uniforms to indicate rank or length of service, or in heraldry and the designs of flags (see flag terminology). The symbol is also used on highway signs to guide drivers around curves. Ancient history The chevron occurs in early art including designs on pottery and rock carvings. Examples can be found approximately 1800 BC in archaeological recovery of pottery designs from the palace of Knossos on Crete in the modern day country of Greece.[1] Sparta (Lacedaemonia (Λακεδαιμονία)) used a capital lambda (Λ) on their shields. Heraldry A chevron is one of the ordinaries in heraldry, one of the simple geometrical figures which are the chief images in many arms. It can be subject to a number of modifications. When the ends are cut off in a way that looks like the splintered ends of a broken piece of wood, with an irregular zig-zag pattern, it is called éclaté.[2] When shown as a smaller size than standard, it is a diminutive called a chevronel. 1 ____________________________________________________ Chevrons appeared early in the history of heraldry, especially in Normandy. In Scandinavia the chevron is known as sparre; an early example appears in the arms of Arvid Gustavsson Sparre.
