Ram, Wayne State University n the morning of July 24, 1915, hundreds of employees of the West- Oern Electric Company and their families boarded the passenger steamship Eastland for a day trip to Michigan City, Indiana. Built in 1903, this twin screw, steel hulled steamship was considered a fast boat on her regular run. Yet throughout her service life, her design revealed a series of problems with stability. Additionally, changes such as more lifeboats in the aftermath of the Titanic disaster, repositioning of engines, and alterations to her upper cabins, made these built-in issues far worse. These failings would come to a disastrous head at the dock on the Chicago River. With over 2,500 passengers aboard, the ship heeled back and forth as the chief engineer struggled to control the ship’s stability and failed. At 7:30 a.m., the Eastland heeled to port, coming to rest on the river bottom, trapping pas- sengers inside the hull and throwing many more into the river. -
The Impact of the New Panama Canal on Cost-Savings in the Shipping Industry
the International Journal Volume 13 on Marine Navigation Number 3 http://www.transnav.eu and Safety of Sea Transportation September 2019 DOI: 10.12716/1001.13.03.07 The Impact of the New Panama Canal on Cost-savings in the Shipping Industry D. Zupanovic, L. Grbic & M. Baric University of Zadar, Zadar, Croatia ABSTRACT: The passage through the Panama Canal has become the usual waterway for all the ships that can navigate through the Canal. The traffic through the canal is limited by the size of a ship. The need for the expansion of the Canal has emerged due to the development of the global trade and the shipping industry. The new dimensions of the lock‐chambers determine the size of the ships as well. The new generation of ships built to the largest specifications possible to transit the current locks of the canal are called the Post‐Panamax vessels. The maximum dimensions of these ships are 366 meters in length, 49 meters in beam and 15.2 metres in draught. The paper analyses savings in the operational costs on three types of the Post‐Panamax vessels after the Canal expansion. 1 INTRODUCTION The construction of the new and expanded canal enabled the passage of the Post‐Panamax ships. The The construction of the Canal, which lasted for 34 navigation of this category became a standard in the years, introduced the shorter and more efficient route maritime industry and proved the Canal to be of great between the east and west coasts of the United States importance to the world shipping. -
