Dec 2019 FFA DEFINITION An FFA or Forward Freight Agreement is a Futures Contract on freight costs. In just the same way that people buy commodity futures to benefit from rising prices they can buy FFAs. They can also Sell FFAs if they believe freight prices will fall. FFAs always have a buyer and a seller - one will make money at the settlement and the other will lose it. It’s simple to trade an FFA instead of really participating in the freight market. No need to own a ship, employ operations staff, fill it with crew, fuel, food, water etc etc. Dec 2019 | 11 OPPORTUNITIES FOR USING FFAs • Time Charter and FFA. Fix ships on long term time charter but buy/sell FFAs to switch To a floating price if rates show signs of improvement. • Spot Market and FFA. Leave ships on the spot market but buy/sell FFAs to prevent earnings from erosion if the market starts to move. • Floating Rate Time Charter and FFA. Fix a floating rate time charter and then buy/sell FFAs to lock in the rate when rates are advantageous. • Investment Strategy. Use FFAs as an alternative to ship ownership. Employing capital to hold FFA positions that profit from a strengthening shipping market. • Portfolio Insurance. Use FFAs to hedge a portfolio of shipping investments.

Papanikolaou HOLISTIC SHIP DESIGN OPTIMISATION 2 Important Design Optimization Notions (1) • Holism (from Greek όλος, meaning entire, total)-holistic The properties of a system cannot be determined or explained by looking at its component parts alone; instead of, the system as a whole determines decisively how the part components behave or perform. “The whole is more than the sum of the parts” (Aristotle Metaphysics) • Reductionism-reduction: is sometimes interpreted as the opposite of holism. “A complex system can be approached by reduction to its fundamental parts” • Holism and reductionism need, for proper account of complex systems, to be regarded as complementary approaches to system analysis. • Systemic and analytical approaches are also complementary and strongly related to holism and reductionism • Risk (financial): “A quantifiable likelihood of loss or of less-than-expected returns” • Risk (general): “A quantifiable likelihood of loss of an acceptable state or of a worse-than-expected state condition” • Safety: may be defined as “An acceptable state of risk” A.

Techet Fall 2004 Archimedes’s Principle and Static Stability “Any object, wholly or partly immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.” “The apparent loss in weight of a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.” I. Archimedes’s Principle: The force on a body due to pressure alone (in the absence of viscous forces) K F = ∫∫ p nˆ ds (3.1) S where pressure is a function of depth below the free surface: p(z) = −ρgz . (3.2) K F = ∫∫ p nˆ ds = − ρg ∫∫ z nˆ ds (3.3) S S By Calculus the surface integral can be converted into a volume integral (Gauss’s Theorem/Divergence Theorem): K K ∫∫G ⋅ nˆ ds = ∫∫∫∇ ⋅G dV (3.4) SV Thus equation becomes: K FpndsgzndsgdVgVk==−=∫∫ˆˆρρρ ∫∫ ∫∫∫ =ˆ (3.5) SSV version 3.0 updated 9/8/2004 -1- ©2003, 2004 aht 13.012 Hydrodynamics for Ocean Engineers Reading #3 We can see now that the buoyancy force acts to counterbalance the displaced volume of fluid. For a half submerged body the area of the water plane must be accounted for in the integration. II.

  • Glossary of Nautical Terms the Maritime World Has a Language of Its Own
    Glossary of Nautical Terms The maritime world has a language of its own. It may seem silly to use special terms instead of simply using one that we use for the same thing shore side, but it actually serves a practical purpose. For example, why not just call a galley a kitchen; it’s just a place where you cook food, right? Not exactly, in a kitchen you can leave pot of hot soup on the counter and, barring some geological event, it will still be there when you get back. In a galley, it is more likely to be all over the deck upon return. Using the proper terminology aboard a vessel helps to enforce the mindset that the maritime environment is different from that on shore and therefore, demands a different code of conduct. Objects: Bit: Two adjacent posts used for mooring or making a line fast to ​ Bollard: A single post used for mooring or making a line fast to ​ Boom: (1) Horizontal spar attached to the foot of a sail; (2) A spar used for lifting such as ​ on a crane or davit Bow: The forward end of the vessel ​ *Bowsprit: Spar protruding from the bow of a sailing vessel used for the attachment of the ​ headsails Bulkhead: A vertical partition inside a vessel ​ Bulwark: A partition extending above the weather deck of a vessel used to prevent seas ​ from washing over and keep objects and personnel from going overboard Capstan: Deck winch, usually configured vertically, used for hauling in lines See ​ Windlass. Ceiling: Planking on the interior sides the hull used for separating internal space from the ​ frame bays; in some cases used to increase hull stiffness to prevent hogging particularly in wood vessels (Hogging is the sagging of the vessel towards the bow and stern due to lack of floatation from the narrowing of the hull.

  • The Design and Service Experience of the Polar Endeavour Class Tankers
    The Design and Service Experience of the Polar Endeavour Class Tankers Robert A. Levine1, (M) SNAME, (M) IMarEST, C.Eng., Manager Engineering Integration & Naval Architecture, ConocoPhillips Marine ABSTRACT The Polar Endeavour (Millennium) Class Tankers, represent the first U. S. flag crude oil carriers designed and built for the Alaskan Trade in compliance with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA90). These vessels represent the start of a revolution in design for American crude carriers. Not only are they fitted with double hulls, which are deeper than required, but also they are fitted with twin independent engine rooms, and twin rudders. They are the first vessels to be classed R2- S+ and NIBS under the American Bureau of Shipping’s (ABS) Guidelines for Redundant Propulsion Systems and Navigation Integrated Bridge Systems. The vessels meet the requirements for Annex VI of MARPOL for air emissions, and are painted with tin free (TBT) anti-foul paints. This paper describes the design development process used and the unique and innovated design, which resulted. Three vessels have entered service in 2001, 2002 and 2003 and two are under construction for delivery in 2004 and 2005. 1 The opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not reflect those of Polar Tankers Inc., ConocoPhillips Marine, ConocoPhillips Alaska or the ConocoPhillips Corporation. 1 ACRONYMS +A1E Compliance with ABS Rules for Self- KW Kilowatts Propelled Vessels & Equipment LAN Local Area Network (Computer) Standards LBP Length Between Perpendiculars
