It has been a busy quarter from the administrative side of the Institution, with the Australian Division Council Meeting on 16 March, followed by the exceptionally-well- attended Annual General Meeting on 17 March at which the announcement of the appointments to the Australian Division Council were made. Members interested in joining the Australian Division Council should note that there are still vacant positions available and indicate to the Secretary their willingness to be appointed to Council for the coming two years. The Institution’s London-based Council meeting was held on 13 April in the lead-up to the RINA AGM on 29 April to which members should have received an invitation. The importance of shipping to world trade was brought home sharply on Tuesday morning 23 March, when the 400 m 219 079 GT Ever Given container ship ran aground diagonally across the southern section of the Suez Canal, apparently after losing the ability to steer amid 40 kn winds and a dust storm. By Sunday, there were 369 ships stuck in the tailbacks on either side of the blockage waiting to Gordon MacDonald pass through the 193 km canal. It has been estimated that the grounded ship was holding up an estimated $9.6 billion boats to the new Arafura-class vessels. Three boats are of trade which passes along the waterway each day.

    Bluebird jet boat floats again, 51 years after fatal crash 4 August 2018, by Jill Lawless The jet-powered Bluebird roared past 300 mph (482 kph) before it vaulted into the air, flipped and crashed into the lake, breaking in two and killing the 45-year-old Campbell. It was 34 years before divers managed to raise the Bluebird's wreckage from the bottom of 150-foot (45-meter) deep lake in March 2001. Human remains were found near the boat and confirmed by DNA testing as belonging to Campbell. In September 2001, his body was taken on a final boat trip around the lake where he died before being buried in a nearby churchyard.

  • The Legislative Council Sessional Committee Government Administration a Met in the Long Room, House of Assembly, Parliament House, Hobart, on Friday, 1 September 2017
    PUBLIC THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL SESSIONAL COMMITTEE GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION A MET IN THE LONG ROOM, HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, PARLIAMENT HOUSE, HOBART, ON FRIDAY, 1 SEPTEMBER 2017. KING ISLAND SHIPPING AND FREIGHT SERVICES Mr RICHARD LOWRIE, INCAT, WAS CALLED, MADE THE STATUTORY DECLARATION AND WAS EXAMINED. CHAIR (Ms Forrest) - We invite you to talk about yourself, your business and, if you are happy to, about your expertise in the area of addressing freight problems for a small island, if you think there are some options within your business and how that might reflect on the terms of reference of the committee. Mr LOWRIE - I am employed with Incat and have been for over 21 years. I was in a sales and marketing role for the first 13 years, which required a lot of travel and living overseas for the company, getting a good handle on the market and a handle on other islands and other areas similar to King Island. I then moved into a human resources role, which has been my role for the last seven-and-a-half years, but I still very much dabble in sales. We are still trying to develop markets in regions closer to home as well - it is quite exciting as to where that may go - hence, a lot of that work especially in Indonesia of late with their multiple islands and all the issues they face. We feel that with that personal experience and certainly with my boss, Robert Clifford, our product technology has developed to a stage where we think there are different options for King Island and Bass Strait.

  • LOCAL LAND-SPEED RECORD-HOLDING CONNECTIONS Iain Wakeford 2016
    LOCAL LAND-SPEED RECORD-HOLDING CONNECTIONS Iain Wakeford 2016 month ago I wrote a small piece on Britain’s first Motor Grand Prix that A took place in 1926 at Brooklands, following Henry Segrave’s win in the French Grand Prix the previous year. The 1926 race was won by a Frenchman, with Malcolm Campbell coming second, and Henry Segrave having to retire, but the two Brits were to lock horns on many other occasions, not least for the more prestigious title of being the fastest man on land. They were joined in that pursuit by John Godfrey Parry-Thomas, who lived in a bungalow called ‘The Hermitage’ in the middle of the race track at Brooklands. Malcolm Campbell was the first of the three to gain the land-speed title in September 1924 when he drove his Sunbeam across Pendine Sands in South Wales at 146.16mph. The following July he increased the record, becoming the first person to travel at over 150mph, but that record was smashed the following April when Parry Thomas in his car ‘Babs’ crossed the sands at 170mph! Parry Thomas didn’t have the wealth of Segrave or the prestige of Campbell, and in fact ‘Babs’ was adapted from a second-hand car that he had bought from the estate of Count Zbrorowski (of Chitty Bang Bang fame) following his death at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in 1924. Sadly Malcolm Campbell in his ‘Bluebird’ regained the record from Thomas at Pendine in February 1927, but when Thomas tried to get it back the following month he lost control of Babs and was killed as the car rolled and slid upside-down along the beach at over 100mph.
