This request is formalized through the tabling of appropriation bills in Parliament. The Estimates, which are tabled in the House of Commons by the President of the Treasury Board, consist of: Part I-The Government Expense Plan provides an overview of federal spending and summarizes the key elements of the Main Estimates. Part II -The Main Estimates directly support the Appropriation Act. The Main Estimates identify the spending authorities ( otes) and amounts to be included in subsequent appropriation bills. Parliament will be asked to approve these votes to enable the government to proceed with its spending plans. Parts I and II of the Estimates are tabled concurrently on or before March I. Part III - Departmental Expenditure Plans, which is divided into two components: I) Reports on Plans and Priorities (RPPs) are individual expenditure plans for each department and agency (excluding Crown corporations). These reports provide increased levels of detail over a three-year period on an organisation's main priorities by strategic outcome(s), program activity(s) and planned/expected results, including links to related resource requirements. The RPPs also provide details on human resource requirements, major capital projects, grants and contributions, and net program costs. They are tabled in Parliament by the President of the Treasury Board on behalf of the ministers who preside over the appropriation dependent departments and agencies identified in Schedules I, I.

According to this concept the vessels challenges for propeller designers.

However, class merchant vessels. from the Russian experience with 3 series of heavy- tonnage merchant DAS of different types it is seen that In particular, the requirements regarding vibration the concept evolves not exactly as it was initially levels related to propeller cavitation, which are envisaged by its inventors.

    Janne Esa Fuel and economic efficiency of an ice-going vessel on the Northern Sea Route School of Engineering Thesis submitted for examination for the degree of Master of Science in Technology. Espoo 25.5.2015 Thesis supervisor: Professor Pentti Kujala Thesis advisor: Lauri Kuuliala, M.Sc. (Tech.) aalto university abstract of the school of engineering master’s thesis Author: Janne Esa Title: Fuel and economic efficiency of an ice-going vessel on the Northern Sea Route Date: 25.5.2015 Language: English Number of pages: 9+90 Department of Applied Mechanics Major: Marine Technology Code: K3005 Supervisor: Professor Pentti Kujala Advisor: Lauri Kuuliala, M.Sc. (Tech.) In this thesis fuel and economic efficiency of an ice-going vessel were studied. The study was carried out for a double acting ship (DAS) and an ice-bow vessel operating year-around on the Northern Sea Route (NSR). For comparison these efficiencies were investigated for an open water vessel operating on the Suez Canal route (SCR) and a vessel using the NSR during operable months, i.e., from July until December and rest of the year using the SCR. These are the months permitted by current NSR regulations. The fuel consumption of the vessel was studied with the transit-simulation. For DAS and the ice-bow ship first the speed was solved in different ice conditions. For open water and assisted ships the power demand was calculated. DAS and ice-bow ship were assumed to use full power in ice and the speeds in open water and ice channel were assumed to be constant.
