  • Cold Ironing Report
    PRELIMINARY DRAFT—DO NOT CITE OR QUOTE I. INTRODUCTION This report presents an analysis of the feasibility and cost effectiveness of cold-ironing ocean-going vessels while docked at California ports. Cold-ironing refers to shutting down auxiliary engines on ships while in port and connecting to electrical power supplied at the dock, thus eliminating virtually all emissions from a ship while it is in port. (Cold-ironing is also referred to as “shore power” and alternative maritime power). The term “cold-ironing” comes from the act of dry-docking a vessel, which involves shutting down all on-board combustion, resulting in the vessel going “cold.” Without cold-ironing, auxiliary engines run continuously while a ship is docked, or “hotelled,” at a berth to power lighting, ventilation, pumps, communication, and other onboard equipment. Ships can hotel for several hours or several days. Hotelling emissions from ship auxiliary engines are significant contributors to particulate matter from diesel-fueled engines (diesel PM), California’s most significant toxic air contaminant. Diesel PM emissions are estimated to be responsible for about 70 percent of the total ambient air toxics risk in California. Communities adjacent to the ports are exposed to elevated cancer risk and other health impacts from these hotelling emissions. As indicated in a recent Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) risk analysis conducted for the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, “Diesel Particulate Matter Exposure Assessment Study for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach,” 20 percent of total diesel PM emissions at these ports comes from hotelling emissions. Other sources of diesel PM include emissions from ship transit and maneuvering, cargo-handling equipment, and rail and truck operations.

In shipping such a proposition is axiomatic. As demonstrated in our cover story this month, over and above the tough jobs they perform in often difficult conditions, seafarers around the world are often called upon to perform tasks of great daring in order to save the lives of others who find themselves in distress in dangerous seas. We also pay tribute to those seafarers that during this holiday period find themselves not at home with family and friends but held captive by viscous unprincipled pirates with little hope of Heroes all getting home anytime soon.

This thesis has focused on appraisal of the impact on the develop- ment of Ecuador of a set of transport policies already under way or pro- posed. Decisions about port development and the interplay of ports with the rest of the transport system influence other transport modes and pro- mote the evolution of a set of locational advantages for certain areas. Consequently, for developing countries located on the seaboard, the role of ports can be a crucial factor in determining their geographic develop- ment. This study has been directed toward developing a comparative static model for testing the interaction of independent submodels dealing with the production of goods, highway operating costs, inland waterways, and coastal operations, interface operations, the overseas transportation subsystem and government policies in these areas.

Lauritzen _full_article_language: en indien anders: engelse articletitle: 0 96 Chapter 5 Chapter 5 J. Lauritzen In 1884, the consul Ditlev Lauritzen (1859-1935) moved from his hometown Ribe in Western Denmark to Esbjerg to start the company J. Lauritzen1. The company was named after Ditlev’s father since Ditlev was under 25 years old and not of age to start a business. He started an import business with wood, coal and fodder. He began with chartered ships for his imports but bought a few ships in late 1880s and could call himself a ship-owner. In 1895, the newly started shipowning company Vesterhavet, had a fleet of three ships. The fleet grew remarkably, and merely five years later, another seven ships had been added to the fleet. Lauritzen was both a shipowner and a shipbroker until 1918 when he closed down his shipbroking office. Apart from shipping, many of Lauritzen’s businesses were onshore. The Ditlev Lauritzen as portrayed by re- searcher Ole Lange is a truly dynamic entrepreneur, constantly on the move, catching new opportunities wherever they would arise. But it was the shipping business that was the core, and more precisely the transportation of coal, wood and cotton. By the end of 1914, the fleet comprised 26 ships. At about that time, the headquarters moved to Copenhagen. Sometimes Lauritzen’s ships carried fruit as a backhaul cargo – the first shipment of oranges was from the Spanish Mediterranean coast to England in a conventional general cargo vessel in 1905.

  • Port and Dock Operations
    Property Risk Consulting Guidelines PRC.17.24 A Publication of AXA XL Risk Consulting PORT AND DOCK OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION Unless a country is land locked, a large percentage of its international trade will typically be via its ports. With the increase in international commerce and trade, ports have more so become crucial logistics centers. Processes to handle freight and cargo have had to be rationalized and handled as an industrial process using the most advanced concepts in logistics and technology. Recent trends in port and dock facilities include advancement of information technology such as EDI and e-commerce, which are accelerating the integration of transport systems. Ports are also having to accommodate larger ships by deepening and widening channels and constructing new berthing facilities with sufficient water depth and length. In general the port authorities own most of port assets such as breakwater, access channel and land. A large proportion of cargo handling equipment at container and break-bulk terminals is however owned by private companies. In assessing property risk at a port it is importance to know the customer’s business purpose and to identify ownership of property and the customer’s liability toward it. The majority of port authorities are fully responsible for navigational aids, harbor master services, dredging, and port information. Other public and private bodies provide services such as pilotage, stevedoring, towage, ship agents, land transport and other shipping services. Property at a port is not limited to buildings and their contents, but includes mobile equipment such as the quayside or dockside cranes, rubber tire or rail mounted gantry cranes, staddle carriers, forklifts etc.

    Please note: this publication is intended for academic use only, not for commercial purposes Global Maritime Weekly Digest Publishing Director: Prof Minghua Zhao Editor: Richard Scott 31 January 2017 issue 60 ..................................................................................................................................... The Global Maritime Weekly Digest, based at Southampton SOLENT University, provides a regular flow of maritime news and analysis, of significance in a global context. Topics covered include shipping fleets and management, seaborne trade, ports, shipbuilding, ship recycling, maritime policy and regulations, and seafarers' labour. Contents (1) Remarkably low volumes of new ships ordered world-wide last year (2) Market mechanisms in container shipping pushing towards recovery (3) The global market outlook for tankers in the next twelve months (4) Reefer Shipping: how is this small sector progressing? (5) Call for government action on UK seafarer numbers (6) The UK’s maritime growth study revisited (7) More stats about the evolution of the world merchant fleet Editorial comments • Last year, global orders for new ships fell to exceptionally low levels (item 1). While this outcome was bad news for shipbuilders, it was good news for shipping markets, contributing eventually to the move towards reducing excess capacity and improving freight market rates. • More statistics dissecting the world fleet of ships in 2016 show sharply contrasting changes among the largest shipowning countries. The fleets owned by Greeks and Chinese investors expanded rapidly, but the Japan-owned fleet was marginally reduced and the German-owned fleet declined substantially (item 8). • Fleets of ships registered by the top flag states increased at varying rates last year. Marshall Islands, the number three by size saw very strong expansion, while the biggest flag state Panama experienced relatively slow enlargement.
