PRINTED MATERIAL Ref. Code: B/ACT Acc MARITIME ARCHIVES & LIBRARY ASSOCIATED CONTAINER TRANSPORT (ACT): PRINTED MATERIAL Ref. Code: B/ACT Acc. No.: MMM.???? Retyped by Sarah Starkey, Curator of Maritime Archives October 2008 MARITIME ARCHIVES & LIBRARY ASSOCIATED CONTAINER TRANSPORT (ACT): PRINTED MATERIAL INTRODUCTION Associated Container Transport (ACT) was created by five British shipping organisations. The five were: Ben Line, Blue Star Line, The Cunard Steam Ship Co., Ltd., Ellerman Lines Ltd. and the Harrison Line. The first meeting of the Board of Directors of ACT took place on the 12 January 1966. In August 1967, Blue Star, Ellerman Lines and Port Line joined together to form the Associated Container Transport (Australia) Ltd. Pacific America Container Express (PACE) Line was formed in March 1971. ACTA pioneered refrigeration techniques and has become the world's leading refrigerated container operator. In 1978 ACTA helped install the first centralised container refrigeration system at Zeebrugge.

  • BOROUGH BUILDINGS, WATER ST (1859 – Ca. 1970)
    Water Street in the 1880s with Borough Buildings in the centre. Photo courtesy of Colin Wilkinson. WALKING ON WATER STREET Graham Jones explores the histories of various buildings in the Water Street area. Part 3 – BOROUGH BUILDINGS, WATER ST (1859 – ca . 1970) 1 In its early years Borough Buildings lived gracefully between two buildings which captured greater attention: Oriel Chambers (1864) at 14 Water Street, for which Peter Ellis was so rudely criticised when the building was originally constructed, and Middleton Buildings (ca. 1859) at 8 Water Street which, until 1916, was the home of the Cunard Line. The comment in Charles Reilly's 1921 tour of Water Street, 2 – “After the empty site, where the old Cunard Building was, comes the oddest building in Liverpool – Oriel Chambers,...” gives the impression that Borough Buildings did not exist. But it did, and during the century of its existence it provided office accommodation for The Liverpool Steam Ship Owners' Association, the American Chamber of Commerce and a variety of important businesses and shipping lines. Trade between America and the U.K.'s premier port had become so important by the end of the 18th century that an American Chamber of Commerce was formed in 1801. The first three attempts at laying a transatlantic cable between 1857 and 1865 had ended in failure when the cables broke or developed faults, but success was finally achieved in 1866, with the Great Eastern being one of the ships involved in cable laying. On September 20th of that year, following a letter from the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce regarding their proposal for a public dinner to celebrate the laying of the cable, the American Chamber met at Borough Buildings (to which they had moved their offices in 1864 from Exchange Street West).

  • The Legal Aspects of Seaworthiness: Current Law and Development
    The Legal Aspects of Seaworthiness: Current Law and Development Ahmad Hussam Kassem Submitted to the University of Wales in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Law Swansea University Year: 2006 The Legal Aspects of Seaworthiness Summary Current Law and Development Summary The thesis aims to analyse the current legal approach to the carrier’s obligation of seaworthiness under Carriage of Goods by Sea due to the impact of such an obligation on the stability of the shipping industry and its effect on reducing marine casualties. In addition, recent developments in the industry have had an affect on the carrier’s obligation. Therefore, it seems necessary to deal with the carrier’s obligation of seaworthiness under the current law and in the light of recent development. In order to achieve the aim of this study, a library-based research project will be conducted and most of the courts’ decisions, recent or old, will be considered in order to find out how they have dealt with this issue in the past and whether their attitude has changed to reflect the development in the shipping industry. The opinions and thoughts of scholars on this matter will also be examined in order to ascertain their opinion on the law and its development. The final chapter of this thesis will deal with the conclusions arrived at by this study. These can be summarised by the following: - The carrier’s obligation to make the vessel seaworthy should be extended to cover the whole voyage instead of just limiting it to the beginning of the voyage.

It was launched on 17 October 1871. It made its maiden voyage on 11 April 1872 from Liverpool to New York, via Queenstown. In May of the same year it made a record westbound crossing, between Queenstown and Sandy Hook, which had been held by Cunard's Scotia since 1866. In October 1874 the Adriatic collided with Cunard's Parthia. Both ships were leaving New York harbour and steaming parallel when they were drawn together. The damage to both ships, however, was superficial. The following year, in March 1875, it rammed and sank the US schooner Columbus off New York during heavy fog. In December it hit and sank a sailing schooner in St. George's Channel. The ship was later identified as the Harvest Queen, as it was the only ship unaccounted for. The misfortune of the Adriatic continued when, on 19 July 1878, it hit the brigantine G.A.

Today’s op- eration is owned by Siem Industries and is a result of Siem’s fusion of its previ- ously acquired Swan Reefers and its purchase of the remaining vestige of the classic Blue Star Line. The latter, with its famous funnel logo, can trace its his- tory back over a hundred years and its fortunes were inextricably linked to that of its owners and founders, the Vestey family. In the late nineteenth century Samuel Vestey, a provisioner with a butchery, sent his sons, William and Edmund to the USA where a meat cannery in Chi- cago was established. The idea was to produce low cost corned beef to the business back in Liverpool. This venture was followed by the export from Ar- gentina of frozen partridges and this gave the brothers exposure to the new technology of refrigeration leading them to open a cold store in England. The business was apparently successful and was publicly listed in 18971. In 1903 the business had expanded with several cold stores around England as well as one in Riga2. The basic business idea was a follow-on from the meat cannery in Chicago: to provide cheap meat products to England and to the Merseyside in particular.
