  • Container Crane Transport Options: Self-Propelled Ship Versus Towed Barge
    Marine Heavy Transport & Lift 21-21 September 2005, London, UK CONTAINER CRANE TRANSPORT OPTIONS: SELF-PROPELLED SHIP VERSUS TOWED BARGE F. van Hoorn, Argonautics Marine Engineering, USA SUMMARY Container cranes are rarely assembled on the terminal quays anymore. These days, new cranes are delivered fully-erect, complete, and in operational condition. In today’s world economy, these fully-erect container cranes are routinely shipped across the oceans. New cranes are transported from manufacturers to terminals, typically on heavy-lift ships either owned by the manufacturer or by specialized shipping companies. Older cranes, often removed from the quay to make space for newer, bigger cranes, are relocated between ports and typically transported by cargo barges. Although the towed barge option is less expensive from a day rate point of view, additional expenses, such as the heavier seafastenings, higher cargo insurance premium, longer transit time, etc. need to be included in the cost trade-off analysis. Some recent container crane transports on ships and barges are discussed in detail and issues such as design criteria, stowage options, seafastening, etc. are addressed. Figure 1: Heavy-lift ship Swan departing Xiamen, China, with 2 new container cranes for delivery to Mundra, India 1. INTRODUCTION fully-erect container cranes are now routinely transported across the oceans. Most are new cranes, transported from New container cranes are on order for delivery to many their manufacturer to the ports of destination on heavy-lift ports around the world. With quay space a valuable ships either owned by the crane manufacturer or by commodity, the cranes are no longer assembled on the specialized shipping companies.

Why? Because our pensions depend on the decisions of the next generation. Julie Lithgow It’s no secret that we face numerous challenges in attracting, training and retaining the people we need in our industry at sea and ashore, but the solution is more nuanced than simply recruitment and retention. For example, if the European Commission succeeds in expanding the Blue Economy initiative, an increase in jobs could also create a shortage in skills. While external training initiatives are good steps in overcoming the skills gap, our industry needs new ways of attracting smart, talented and ambitious people, including those who are considering a career change. Perhaps our best move is to create a better culture within our Companies must invest in their staff’s learning potential companies for talented people to pursue careers in our sector. To make this happen, we need an environment of professional OVERCOMING CHALLENGES development, and access to education and training. Of course, this has its challenges, not the least of which is Most importantly, we need to appreciate that meeting the institutional.

  • Final KG Plus Twenty Reasons for a Rise in G
    Chapter 13 Final KG plus twenty reasons for a rise in G When a ship is completed by the builders, certain written stability informa- tion must be handed over to the shipowner with the ship. Details of the information required are contained in the 1998 load line rules, parts of which are reproduced in Chapter 55. The information includes details of the ship’s Lightweight, the Lightweight VCG and LCG, and also the posi- tions of the centres of gravity of cargo and bunker spaces. This gives an ini- tial condition from which the displacement and KG for any condition of loading may be calculated. The final KG is found by taking the moments of the weights loaded or discharged, about the keel. For convenience, when taking the moments, consider the ship to be on her beam ends. In Figure 13.1(a), KG represents the original height of the centre of grav- ity above the keel, and W represents the original displacement. The original moment about the keel is therefore W ϫ KG. Now load a weight w1 with its centre of gravity at g1 and discharge w2 from g2. This will produce moments about the keel of w1 ϫ Kg1 and w2 ϫ Kg2 in directions indicated in the figure. The final moment about the keel will be equal to the original moment plus the moment of the weight added minus the moment of the weight discharged. But the final moment must also be equal to the final displacement multiplied by the final KG as shown in Figure 13.1(b); i.e.

  • RR458- Review of Issues Associated with the Stability of Semi-Submersibles
    HSE Health & Safety Executive Review of issues associated with the stability of semi-submersibles Prepared by BMT Fluid Mechanics Limited for the Health and Safety Executive 2006 RESEARCH REPORT 473 HSE Health & Safety Executive Review of issues associated with the stability of semi-submersibles BMT Fluid Mechanics Limited Orlando House 1 Waldegrave Road Teddington Middlesex TW11 8LZ This review study was undertaken as part of a wider exercise to assess the need for HSE Guidance within the UK Safety Case regime. The study included a comparison between stability standards specified by key regulatory authorities and classification societies for intact and damaged semi-submersible units, a review of relevant published literature and of HSE/ Department of Energy reports, a review of past incidents involving loss of stability of semi-submersibles, and a review of issues associated with alternative uses of semi- submersible units. A key recommendation coming out of this study is that the HSE should investigate further the practicality of reconciling traditional prescriptive stability standards with a risk-based Safety Case approach. This report and the work it describes were funded by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Its contents, including any opinions and/or conclusions expressed, are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect HSE policy.

Explain the concepts of righting arm and righting moment and show these concepts on a sectional vector diagram of the ship’s hull that is being heeled over by an external couple. 2. Calculate the righting moment of a ship given the magnitude of the righting arm. 3. Read, interpret, and sketch a Curve of Intact Statical Stability (or Righting Arm Curve) and draw the sectional vector diagram of forces that corresponds to any point along the curve. 4. Discuss what tenderness and stiffness mean with respect to naval engineering. 5. Evaluate the stability of a ship in terms of: a. Range of Stability b. Dynamic Stability c. Maximum Righting Arm d. Maximum Righting Moment e. Angle at which Maximum Righting Moment Occurs 6. Create a Curve of Intact Statical Stability for a ship at a given displacement and assumed vertical center of gravity, using the Cross Curves of Stability. 7. Correct a GZ curve for a shift of the ship's vertical center of gravity and interpret the curve. Draw the appropriate sectional vector diagram and use this diagram to show the derivation of the sine correction. 8. Correct a GZ curve for a shift of the ship's transverse center of gravity and interpret the curve. Draw the appropriate sectional vector diagram and use this diagram to show the derivation of the cosine correction. 9. Determine the initial slope of the GZ curve using Metacentric Height. 10. Analyze and discuss damage to ships, including: a. Use added weight method to calculate ship trim, angle of list and draft b.
