Eng. Or. Document complet disponible sur OLIS dans son format d’origine Complete document available on OLIS in its original format 1 Summary This report focuses on regulations governing international liner and bulk shipping. Both modes are closely linked to international trade, deriving from it their growth. Also, as a service industry to trade international shipping, which is by far the main mode of international transport of goods, has facilitated international trade and has contributed to its expansion. Total seaborne trade volume was estimated by UNCTAD to have reached 5330 million metric tons in 2000. The report discusses the web of regulatory measures that surround these two segments of the shipping industry, and which have a considerable impact on its performance. As well as reviewing administrative regulations to judge whether they meet their intended objectives efficiently and effectively, the report examines all those aspects of economic regulations that restrict entry, exit, pricing and normal commercial practices, including different forms of business organisation. However, those regulatory elements that cover competition policy as applied to liner shipping will be dealt with in a separate study to be undertaken by the OECD Secretariat Many measures that apply to maritime transport services are not part of a regulatory framework but constitute commercial practices of market operators.

Joint Transportation Committee LNG as an Energy Source for Vessel Propulsion EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 2011 Legislature directed the Joint Transportation Committee to investigate the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) on existing Washington State Ferry (WSF) vessels as well as the new 144‐car class vessels and report to the Legislature by December 31, 2011 (ESHB 1175 204 (5)); (Chapter 367, 2011 Laws, PV). Liquefied natural gas (LNG) provides an opportunity to significantly reduce WSF fuel costs and can also have a positive environmental effect by eliminating sulfur oxide and particulate matter emissions and reducing carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions from WSF vessels. This report recommends that the Legislature consider transitioning from diesel fuel to liquefied natural gas for WSF vessels, making LNG vessel project funding decisions in the context of an overall LNG strategic operation, business, and vessel deployment and acquisition analysis. The report addresses the following questions: Security. What, if any, impact will the conversion to LNG fueled vessels have on the WSF Alternative Security Plan? Vessel acquisition and deployment plan. What are the implications of LNG for the vessel acquisition and deployment plan? Vessel design and construction.

The collected data used for analyses in individual modules are stored in a SQL server of shared access. Vector electronic navigation charts of S-57 standard specification are used as the cartographic background. The width of the waterway is calculated by means of the method developed on the basis of the modified PIANC guidelines. The main goal of the research is to prove and demonstrate that the designed software would directly increase the navigation safety level of the Swinouj´scie–Szczecin´ fairway and indicate the optimal positioning methods in various navigation circumstances.

    Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Technical Review Vol. 47 No. 3 (September 2010) 1 Technology Trends and MHI Activities for LNG Carriers - Diverse Shipbuilding and Marine Products in the LNG Supply Chain - SAI HIRAMATSU*1 KAZUYOSHI HIRAOKA*1 YOSHIKAZU FUJINO*1 KENJI TSUMURA*1 With natural gas garnering greater attention as an energy option with low environmental impact, shipbuilding and marine products in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply chain have become increasingly diverse. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., (MHI) through a variety of activities, has been introducing many products that meet customer needs. Taking a long-term perspective, MHI continues to be active in the development of products that offer dependability, economic efficiency, and low fuel consumption, such as continuous tank-cover LNG carriers with drastic weight reductions and performance improvements, fuel-efficient and environmentally-friendly ultra-steam turbine (UST) and slow-speed diesel with gas injection and re-liquefaction (SSD-GI) propulsion plants, regasification vessels that significantly reduce fuel consumption during the regasification process, and reliable highly economic LNG floating production storage and offloading units. |1. Introduction Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., (MHI) has built forty-two liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers since delivery of its first in 1983. While safe, reliable, and economically efficient LNG carrier technologies are being developed through the design and shipbuilding process, the recent rise in LNG demand has generated diverse customer needs for shipbuilding and marine products in the LNG supply chain. This article describes MHI’s activities in the development of highly novel products that take into account diverse supply sources, the need for lower environmental impact, and product development requirements at both upper and lower supply chain streams.

The SSC is a maritime industry and allied agency partnership that supports, the active pursuit of research and development to identify gaps in knowledge for marine structures. The Committee was formed in 1943 to study Liberty Ship structural failures and now is comprised of 8 Principal Member Agencies. The Committee has established itself as a world recognized leader in marine structures with hundreds of technical reports, a global membership of over 900 volunteer subject matter experts, and a dynamic website to disseminate past, current, and future work of the Committee.
