  • DEME Takes Delivery of 'Spartacus'
    date 4 August 2021 pages 2 PRESS RELEASE DEME takes delivery of ‘Spartacus’ - the most powerful and innovative cutter suction dredger in the world DEME has taken delivery of its giant new cutter suction dredger ‘Spartacus’ from Dutch shipyard Royal IHC. With the signing of the handover, taking place on August 3, the construction process officially comes to an end and the vessel will now head to its first project in Egypt. ‘Spartacus’ sets a new benchmark in the global dredging market. Its groundbreaking, eco-friendly design and countless innovations on board make it one of a kind. ‘Spartacus’ is the world's largest and most powerful self-propelled cutter suction dredger and also the first able to run on liquefied natural gas (LNG). Unrivalled production capacity With a total installed power of 44,180 kW, its production capacity and ability to cut hard soil are unmatched in the industry. The four main engines can run on Low Sulphur Heavy Fuel Oil, Marine Diesel Oil, as well as LNG, and the two auxiliary engines have dual-fuel technology. The CSD also has a waste heat recovery system that converts the heat from the engines’ exhaust gases into electrical energy. The heavy cutter ladder, able to be controlled and operated from the bridge by a single person, can operate up to a dredging depth of 45 m. First project ‘Spartacus’ will immediately set sail for its first assignment in Abu Qir, Egypt, whereby it will participate, alongside many of DEME’s trailing suction hopper dredgers, in the largest dredging and land reclamation project ever in DEME’s history.

  • Disability Accessibility Audit Report
    ACCESSIBILITY AUDIT ON BASIC AND SECOND CYCLE SCHOOLS STRUCTURES IN THE HO MUNICIPALITY This report gives analysis of baseline survey and provides up-to-date baseline data/evidence of inaccessibility nature of several basic and second cycle schools structures in the Ho Municipality. There are a total of 340 basic and second cycle schools in the Ho Municipality. VOLPHIG surveyed 216 of these schools. Analysis of responses from authorities of the schools surveyed indicated that 94.4% of the schools have no provision of access for persons with disabilities. Majority of the schools also have poor access to their toilet, urinals, libraries and ICT centre for persons with disabilities. Some schools have verandas and walkways that have stairs in between them and cannot be used by persons with disabilities. The findings indicated gross abuse of Sections 6 and 60 of the Persons with Disability Act, 2006 (Act, 715), which mandates owners and occupiers of public buildings including schools to provide easy access for persons with disabilities. The report draws on the findings to provide recommendations for improving access to schools structures in the Ho Municipality for persons with disabilities. Introduction VOLPHIG is a registered NGO managed for and by people with disabilities in the Volta Region. The organization is focused on working across disability to build capacity of cross disability self-help groups at the grassroots level in Ghana. VOLPHIG had received funding from the STAR-Ghana - Strengthening Transparency, Accountability and Responsiveness in Ghana www.star-ghana.org to carry out vigorous advocacy to ensure school structures in the Ho Municipality are made accessible for use by persons with disability.

  • Deme, a Stock, Or a Subspecies? These and Other Definitions
    Is It a Deme, a Stock, or a Subspecies? These and Other Definitions BY Robert L. Wilbur Jim Seeb Lisa Seeb and Hal Geiger Regional Information ~e~ort'No. 5598-09 Alaska Department of Fish and Game Commercial Fisheries Management and Development Division Juneau, Alaska March 1998 1 The Regional Information Report Series was established in 1987 to provide an information access system for all unpublished divisional reports. These reports frequently serve diverse ad hoc informational purposes or archive basic uninterpreted data. To accommodate timely reporting of recently collected information, reports in this series undergo only limited internal review and may contain preliminary data; this information may be subsequently finalized and published in the formal literature. Consequently, these reports should not be cited without prior approval of the author or the Division of Commercial Fisheries. INTRODUCTION These population-based definitions were originally prepared in 1996 to aid the Alaska Board of Fisheries in developing consistent applications for the terms used in their guiding principles, and to assist in dialog related to improving management of fish populations. They are archived in this report for reference purposes with only minor changes from the draft originally reviewed by the board 2 years ago. These terms are important because application of the board's guiding principles can affect the management regimes the board selects to achieve its objectives. These decisions will significantly influence the future long-term well-being of fish stocks, as well as the socioeconomic well-being of the resource users. Therefore, it is important the terms be clearly understood for not only their literal meaning, but more importantly, for their pragmatic use in the real world of Alaska's fisheries management.
