  • The Commercial & Technical Evolution of the Ferry
    THE COMMERCIAL & TECHNICAL EVOLUTION OF THE FERRY INDUSTRY 1948-1987 By William (Bill) Moses M.B.E. A thesis presented to the University of Greenwich in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2010 DECLARATION “I certify that this work has not been accepted in substance for any degree, and is not concurrently being submitted for any degree other than that of Doctor of Philosophy being studied at the University of Greenwich. I also declare that this work is the result of my own investigations except where otherwise identified by references and that I have not plagiarised another’s work”. ……………………………………………. William Trevor Moses Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Sarah Palmer Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Alastair Couper Date:……………………………. ii Acknowledgements There are a number of individuals that I am indebted to for their support and encouragement, but before mentioning some by name I would like to acknowledge and indeed dedicate this thesis to my late Mother and Father. Coming from a seafaring tradition it was perhaps no wonder that I would follow but not without hardship on the part of my parents as they struggled to raise the necessary funds for my books and officer cadet uniform. Their confidence and encouragement has since allowed me to achieve a great deal and I am only saddened by the fact that they are not here to share this latest and arguably most prestigious attainment. It is also appropriate to mention the ferry industry, made up on an intrepid band of individuals that I have been proud and privileged to work alongside for as many decades as covered by this thesis.

Introduction At the central level, all the three border management experts assigned for the mission (Mr. Hartikainen, Mr. Karohl and Mr. Gaya van Stijn) with all the accompanied personnel from the EU Commission and the EU Delegation to Turkey had a common programme in Ankara.

Representatives of the General Directorate of Security (Turkish National Police, Department of Aliens, Borders and Asylum Affairs), General Staff, Land Forces Command, Gendarmerie General Command, Coast Guard Command, and Turkish Customs Enforcement also were present in both of the aforementioned meetings. At the end of the central level programme, a visit was made to the Coast Guard Command. During the field visit, the expert was familiarised with the Trabzon airport and seaport on the shore of the Black Sea, Sarp Border Crossing Point (BCP) on the border with Georgia, Kapıkule BCP on the border with Bulgaria, Pazarkule BCP on the border with Greece and Edirne Removal Centre located to the close proximity to the last two aforementioned BCPs.

  • 2005 EASTERN EUROPE Budapest, Prague, Elbe River 1
    2005 EASTERN EUROPE Budapest, Prague, Elbe River Sunday and Monday, August 8-9, 2005. I met Mary at Hartsfield. Never have we had such a hard time getting to our destination! The plane had been late coming in from Frankfurt and then it had to be cleaned. When it became time to board, there was water on the skyway from the thunderstorm raging outside. I was not considered handicapped with my cane. I had to wait while they boarded the wheelchairs. At last we were all on board and left an hour late. After a pasta entrée, I curled up in my blanket and slept all the way to Paris. It was one of the smoothest crossings I have ever experienced. We were 45 minutes late arriving in Paris. We were also at a remote bus gate. I had decided not to ask for a wheelchair since when Mary and I came back from the Riviera three years ago, we had waited almost an hour for a handicap bus that never came. I had ended up walking on my own power to the other terminal and figured I could do it again. It seemed to take forever to get into the terminal. Air France directed us to Gate B2 where there was a long line to get through security. Fortunately our flight to Budapest was marked retarde (late), so we felt we had lots of time. Wrong! We finally got into the waiting room only to find that the rest rooms were out in the terminal and we would have to go out and come back through security.

ABSTRACT Selection of the appropriate Roll-on Roll-off (Ro-Ro) port is one of the crucial tasks for the maritime industry. Because there are many factors affecting the selection process, this selection process is essentially a multi-criteria decision-making problem. This paper proposes a integrated approach consisting of the CRITIC (Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation) technique and the EDAS (Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution) method to evaluate the Ro-Ro marine ports selection.
