LM2500 Fast Ferry LNG Solution By using Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) versus Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), ship builders and ferry operators can reduce fuel costs as LNG production increases around the world. LNG fuel is the most cost effective way to meet these regulations. The high power output and low weight and size of aeroderivative gas turbines make them ideal for the fast ferry application. 20 Questions? 21 GE PROPRIETARY - UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTEDThank OR ELECTRONICALLY TRANSMITTED you3/14/2016 22 GE PROPRIETARY - UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED OR ELECTRONICALLY TRANSMITTED 3/14/2016 .

  • Cruiser's Port Guide to Piriapolis, Uruguay Compliments of Seven Seas Cruising Association
    Cruiser’s Port Guide To Piriapolis, Uruguay Compliments of Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA) Updated March 2008 Welcome to Puerto Piriapolis, Uruguay! If any word describes the country of Uruguay and its people, the word is “tranquilo”. Founded as a resort town for wealthy Argentinos by entrepreneur Francisco Piria in the 1930’s, Piriapolis is a no- hassle, low-key spot to leave your boat for an extended period or do boat work, but make sure you bring your supplies with you. Approach & marina: Hail Piriapolis Port Control on Channel 16. It’s hit or miss whether they will answer. The entry is straightforward, but watch for shallow areas between the beach and breakwater. Waypoint for the breakwater is 34S52.5/055W17.0. Tie-up is fore and aft with two mooring buoys aft and wharf tie-up on bollards forward. There is no help from any marina staff or the Prefectura so be prepared to tie up yourself although many times other cruisers are available to lend a hand. If you come in at night, there is a fuel dock just south of the TraveLift at which you can tie up till morning. Formalities: A Prefectura representative will usually be waiting on the dock for you to accept your “zarpe” paperwork. If arriving from another country, you must visit Customs (located in the building behind the marina complex), the marina office on the premises, the Prefectura’s office (1/2 mile from the marina) and Immigration, which is a cab or bus ride away at the Punta del Este airport.

  • Current Developments in the Transport Sector and Future Prospects
    3/27/2014 FAL Bulletin # 140 FAL BULLETIN - FACILITATION OF TRADE AND TRANSPORT IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN Issue No.140, February 1998 CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE TRANSPORT SECTOR AND FUTURE PROSPECTS MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT IN 1997: A YEAR OF CONSOLIDATION Over the past three years, talks conducted at the subregional level have led to the signing of multimodal transport agreements, and these have been implemented by Mercosur and reviewed by the Andean Community; multimodal transport is only now starting to come into its own in South America but is already a common practice in the region covered by NAFTA. These trends continued in 1997, with consolidation being the dominant theme; on the one hand, consolidation occurred in business, with integrated services increasingly on offer, while on the other the authorities became aware of the need to promote linkages between different modes of transport. Highlights of 1998 may well include major plans for investments in intermodal infrastructure and greater interaction between users and service providers in both the public and private sectors, in order to develop regional intermodal transport systems. Integrated transport services are a growing feature of intraregional trade flows, in terms of traffic both between the Mexico and the United States, and in South America itself. The road-rail mode of transport is not a new development in Mexico- U.S. traffic, but it continues to grow and is the reason behind the ever more extensive physical and operational facilities, such as the new San Luis de la Paz terminal, in Central America, where so-called consolidators -road haulers who make use of the sea/land mode- are increasingly present in the area's extraregional trade.

Find out why jetsetters from around the world (not to mention the glamorous city-dwellers of Buenos Aires) choose Uruguay as a refreshing summer getaway. Its population of only 3.5 million people enjoy a relatively high quality of life in South America. In fact, it ranks as a top ethical travel destination due to its progress in education, environmental protection and social welfare. This nine-day itinerary flows smoothly from a slice of cosmopolitan life in Buenos Aires to a relaxed exploration of Uruguay’s historic and modern cities, wineries, countryside ranches and vineyards, and sunny Atlantic coast. Like olives, cheeses, and a glass of fine wine, Buenos Aires and Uruguay pair perfectly together.

  • Argentina's Airline Networks: Successes and Challenges T David J
    Journal of Transport Geography 86 (2020) 102761 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Journal of Transport Geography journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/jtrangeo Restructuring Argentina's airline networks: Successes and challenges T David J. Keeling Department of Geography and Geology, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, KY 42101-1066, United States ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Argentina's aviation networks underwent significant restructuring after the 2015 election of President Mauricio LCCs Macri. Historically constrained by poor aviation infrastructure, economic uncertainty, currency devaluations, Argentina labor unrest, comparatively weak passenger demand, and operational barriers to low-cost carriers (LCCs), Global north-south Argentina's airline networks have experienced deep restructuring in both providers and network interactions. Airline networks With less than 0.3 trips per capita in Argentina, compared to 3.0 in the mature U.S. aviation market, analysts Origin-destination connections argue that there is significant potential for moving bus and automobile travelers to airlines, and to expanding Argentina's airline connectivity profitably throughout the region. LCCs such as Flybondi, Norwegian, Air Europa, Sky, JetSmart, and others are challenging long-standing transportation relationships in the region and devel- oping new routes for consumers. A set of interlinked questions aims to understand Argentina's changing aviation geography. Comparing O-D data from 1972, 1982, 1996, and 2019, the results indicate a significant re- organization of Argentinas domestic and regional network interactions, with modest adjustments to its global north-south connections. Challenges include outcomes of a recent change in Argentina's government and the long-term impact of the global COVID19 pandemic on the aviation system.

Liquefied natural gas or LNG is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4) that has been converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport. •Liquefied natural gas takes up about 1/600th the volume of natural gas in the gaseous state. It is odorless, colorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive. •The liquefaction process involves removal of certain components, such as dust, acid gases, helium, water, and heavy hydrocarbons, which could cause difficulty downstream. The natural gas is then condensed into a liquid at close to atmospheric pressure (maximum transport pressure set at around 25 kPa/3.6 psi) by cooling it to approximately −162 °C (−260 °F).
