  • China's Merchant Marine
    “China’s Merchant Marine” A paper for the China as “Maritime Power” Conference July 28-29, 2015 CNA Conference Facility Arlington, Virginia by Dennis J. Blasko1 Introductory Note: The Central Intelligence Agency’s World Factbook defines “merchant marine” as “all ships engaged in the carriage of goods; or all commercial vessels (as opposed to all nonmilitary ships), which excludes tugs, fishing vessels, offshore oil rigs, etc.”2 At the end of 2014, the world’s merchant ship fleet consisted of over 89,000 ships.3 According to the BBC: Under international law, every merchant ship must be registered with a country, known as its flag state. That country has jurisdiction over the vessel and is responsible for inspecting that it is safe to sail and to check on the crew’s working conditions. Open registries, sometimes referred to pejoratively as flags of convenience, have been contentious from the start.4 1 Dennis J. Blasko, Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Army (Retired), a Senior Research Fellow with CNA’s China Studies division, is a former U.S. army attaché to Beijing and Hong Kong and author of The Chinese Army Today (Routledge, 2006).The author wishes to express his sincere thanks and appreciation to Rear Admiral Michael McDevitt, U.S. Navy (Ret), for his guidance and patience in the preparation and presentation of this paper. 2 Central Intelligence Agency, “Country Comparison: Merchant Marine,” The World Factbook, https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2108.html.

  • Oil and Gas News Briefs, December 28, 2020
    Oil and Gas News Briefs Compiled by Larry Persily December 28, 2020 LNG producers risk overinvesting in too much new supply (The Wall Street Journal; Dec. 24) - As a cleaner fossil fuel, natural gas will play a role for years to come. It is less certain, however, that it will be a profitable one. Exuberant investment in new reserves and liquefaction facilities in recent years helped globalize the LNG market but also created a supply glut. Any sustained recovery in prices and profits will require producers to resist the temptation to overinvest once again. Future profitability will depend on how well supply and demand match up. Natural gas will likely play two key roles in the upcoming green transition: replacing coal-fired power plants until sufficient renewables production can be built; and fueling backup peak plants to bridge the gaps in intermittent wind and solar generation. Gas demand is expected to peak sometime in the next decade or two and then taper off slowly, though advances in carbon capture and storage could extend its role. On the other hand, gas demand could be reduced by a faster-than-expected fall in costs for renewable energy and storage, or an accelerated development of green hydrogen. The uncertainty makes it tricky to estimate what supply will be needed in the future, particularly as projects can take years to come online. This raises the risk of overproduction, which can cause prices to languish. Decisions to invest during the next two years could lead to another “wave of supplies” coming online in 2027, prompting another downward price cycle, said Carlos Torres Diaz, gas and power analyst at energy consultancy Rystad Energy.

  • AIDA Cruises Will Resume Cruise Operations with Fall and Winter Voyages
    AIDA Cruises Will Resume Cruise Operations with Fall and Winter Voyages Germany's leading cruise line will begin Canary Island cruises in November, Western Mediterranean and Orient cruises in mid-December and extends pause until November ROSTOCK, Germany, Aug. 28, 2020 -- AIDA Cruises, the leading cruise line in Germany and a part of Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK), today announced that it will offer cruises this fall and winter that combine the fascination of a cruise trip with an unforgettable holiday experience to several popular destinations. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the conditions are currently not in place in Germany's neighbouring European countries, especially in the north with Norway and Denmark or the Baltic states. For many distant destinations outside of Europe, the Federal Republic of Germany has issued a travel warning or the respective countries have prohibited calls of cruise ships until 2021. As a result, the company has cancelled its previously announced cruises for September and has updated its fall and winter 2020-2021 program to provide its guests and sales partners additional time to plan and book vacations for a safe and enjoyable return to cruise holidays. As the first ship from the AIDA fleet to begin sailing, AIDAmar will set course on Nov. 1, 2020, for seven-day voyages to the Canary Islands, a popular destination with German vacationers. AIDAperla will follow on Nov. 7, 2020, and will take over the travel program originally planned for AIDAnova. AIDAmar's voyages will start and end in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. For voyages with AIDAperla, in addition to Las Palmas, AIDA Cruises will offer a second departure port with Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

  • MN 20 of 2018 New Building Procedures – Ships and Boats
    South African Maritime Safety Authority Ref: SM6/5/2/1 Date: 7 June 2018 Marine Notice No. 20 of 2018 New Building Procedures – Ships and Boats TO SHIP/BOAT BUILDERS, NAVAL ARCHITECTS, VESSEL OWNERS, REGIONAL MANAGERS, PRINCIPAL OFFICERS, REGISTRAR OF SHIPS AND SURVEY STAFF. Summary The following marine notice provides guidance to industry on processes to be followed for plan approval and SAMSA attendance during a new building, of a ship or boat to achieve compliance with the Merchant Shipping Act 57 of 1951 and supporting regulations applicable to Non-SOLAS convention ships (class vessels) and boats (category vessels). 1. INTRODUCTION The Merchant Shipping Act and supporting regulations address vessel construction in a compliance based manner while the process of building a ship/boat is a dynamic one which requires evaluation of all elements and continuous confirmation that the changing of one or more parameters has not affected others negatively. The difference between the two approaches can be represented as follows: Regulatory Compliance-based Approach Ship/boat design process While the design process is meant to be completed before submission of plans to the Authority, it is important to realise that requirements for regulatory changes may affect other elements of the vessel design. It is accordingly important for SAMSA to play a timely role in the plan approval and survey process to avoid requirements for changes late in a project which may cause delays and additional costs or even affect the operational capability of the end product. It is also important for the owner/builder to understand the legislative framework in which he/she is working to allow SAMSA the opportunity to identify area’s of non-compliance at an early stage for the same reasons as those outlined above.

Berthage: A tariff charged to a vessel occupying a berth. It is calculated by applying the current tariff rate per GT for each of the first 2 twelve-hour periods. Each additional hour is charged at a lower published rate per GT. Bollard: Is a short vertical post used on a ship or a quay, principally for mooring. Breakbulk: Non-containerized general cargo. Examples include iron, steel, machinery, linerboard, woodpulp and yachts. Cabin: A passenger room onboard the cruise ship – sometimes called a stateroom or a berth. CBSA: Canada Border Services Agency (occasionally referred to as Canada Customs). Coastal Trading Act: An Act respecting the use of foreign ships and non-duty paid ships in the coasting trade. (Canadian version of American “Jones Act” see cabotage below). Cabotage Water transportation term applicable to shipments between ports of a nation; commonly refers to coastwise or intercoastal navigation or trade. Many nations, including the United States, have cabotage laws which require national flag vessels to provide domestic interport service. (In US this is referred to as the “Jones Act”). Chart Datum: A plan below which the tide will seldom fall. The Canadian Hydrographic Service has adopted the plane of Lowest Normal Tides (LNT) as chart datum. To find the depth of water, the height of tide must be added to the depth shown on the chart. Tidal heights preceded by a (-) must be subtracted from the charted depth.

  • Norwegian Cruise Line Corporate Overview
    NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE CORPORATE OVERVIEW Norwegian Cruise Line is the innovator in cruise travel with a 44-year history of breaking the boundaries of traditional cruising, most notably with the introduction of Freestyle Cruising which has revolutionized the industry by allowing guests more freedom and flexibility. Today, Norwegian has 11 purpose-built Freestyle Cruising ships providing guests the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed cruise vacation on some of the newest and most contemporary ships at sea. In 2010, the Company reached an agreement with MEYER WERFT GMBH of Germany to build two new next generation Freestyle Cruising ships for delivery in spring 2013 and spring 2014, respectively. Each of the 143,500 gross ton vessels, the largest passenger/cruise ships to be built in Germany, will have approximately 4,000 passenger berths and a rich cabin mix. In February 2000, Norwegian was acquired by Genting Hong Kong Limited formerly Star Cruises Ltd (SES: STRC), a Hong Kong stock exchange listed company, and part of Malaysia's Genting Group. Following the acquisition of Norwegian, Star Cruises became the third largest cruise line in the world. While under 100 percent ownership by Star, the company embarked on an expansion program that involved new ships, on-board product enhancements and innovative itineraries. In August 2007, private equity group, Apollo Management, LP, agreed to make a $1 billion cash equity investment in Norwegian. Under the terms of the investment which closed on January 7, 2008, Apollo became a 50 percent owner of Norwegian and has named a majority of the company’s board with certain consent rights retained by Genting.
