  • Worldwide Analysis of In-Port Vessel Operational Lubricant Discharges and Leakages
    Worldwide Analysis of In-Port Vessel Operational Lubricant Discharges and Leakages Dagmar Schmidt Etkin Environmental Research Consulting 41 Croft Lane Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567-1160 USA [email protected] Abstract The majority of ocean-going ships operates with oil-lubricated stern tubes and uses lubricating oils in a large number of applications in on-deck machinery and in- water (submerged) machinery. The issue of oil leakage from stern tubes, once considered a part of normal “operational consumption” of oil, has become an issue of concern and is now being treated as oil pollution with full legal consequences. Greater focus on stern tube leakage and the spillage of other types of lubricants used in marine shipping operations have led to a need to evaluate alternatives to these oils and ways to monitor and prevent discharge of lubricants during ship operations in ports and at sea. This study focuses on marine inputs of lubricant oils within the 4,708 ports and harbours of the world through stern tube leakage and operational discharges in marine shipping. The study results indicate that, overall, the results indicate that each year in over 1.7 million vessel port visits, 4.6 to 28.6 million litres of lubricating oil leaks from stern tubes, and 32.3 million litres of oil is input to marine waters from other operational discharges and leaks. Total estimated response and damage costs for lubricating oil leaks and operational discharges worldwide based on the probabilities of leakage and operational discharge by vessel type in the 4,708 ports worldwide are estimated to be between US$322 million for conventional lubricating oils.

Virtually every part of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) now reports to different leaders, has had its mission and Chairman Xi Remakes the PLA Xi Remakes Chairman responsibilities changed, has lost or gained subordinate units, or has undergone a major internal reorganization. Drawing on papers presented at two conferences co-organized by the U.S. National Defense University, RAND, and Taiwan’s Council REFORMS MILITARY CHINESE ASSESSING of Advanced Policy Studies, this edited volume brings together some of the world’s best experts on the Chinese military to analyze the various dimensions of the reforms in detail and assess their implications for the PLA’s ability to conduct joint operations, for the Chinese Communist Party’s control of the army, and for civil-military integration. The contributors review the drivers and strategic context under- pinning the reform effort, explore the various dimensions of PLA efforts to build a force capable of conducting joint operations, con- sider the implications for the PLA services, and examine Xi Jinping’s role in driving the reforms through and using them to strengthen control over the military.
