Arctic Marine Transport Workshop 28-30 September 2004
Arctic Marine Transport Workshop 28-30 September 2004 Institute of the North • U.S. Arctic Research Commission • International Arctic Science Committee Arctic Ocean Marine Routes This map is a general portrayal of the major Arctic marine routes shown from the perspective of Bering Strait looking northward. The official Northern Sea Route encompasses all routes across the Russian Arctic coastal seas from Kara Gate (at the southern tip of Novaya Zemlya) to Bering Strait. The Northwest Passage is the name given to the marine routes between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans along the northern coast of North America that span the straits and sounds of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Three historic polar voyages in the Central Arctic Ocean are indicated: the first surface shop voyage to the North Pole by the Soviet nuclear icebreaker Arktika in August 1977; the tourist voyage of the Soviet nuclear icebreaker Sovetsky Soyuz across the Arctic Ocean in August 1991; and, the historic scientific (Arctic) transect by the polar icebreakers Polar Sea (U.S.) and Louis S. St-Laurent (Canada) during July and August 1994. Shown is the ice edge for 16 September 2004 (near the minimum extent of Arctic sea ice for 2004) as determined by satellite passive microwave sensors. Noted are ice-free coastal seas along the entire Russian Arctic and a large, ice-free area that extends 300 nautical miles north of the Alaskan coast. The ice edge is also shown to have retreated to a position north of Svalbard. The front cover shows the summer minimum extent of Arctic sea ice on 16 September 2002. -

The Australian Naval Architect
THE AUSTRALIAN NAVAL ARCHITECT Volume 22 Number 3 August 2018 HMAS Adelaide preparing to embark United States Marine Corps amphibious assault vehicles during Exercise Rim of the Pacific 18 (RIMPAC 2018), Hawaii, in July. HMAS Adelaide unexpectedly took a lead role in the amphibious phase of RIMPAC when the US Navy assault ship planned for that role suffered mechanical problems and remained in Pearl Harbour for most of the exercise. HMAS Adelaide led HMA Ships Success, Melbourne and Toowoomba across the Pacific to take part in this major exercise which involved 25 nations, 46 surface ships, five submarines, 17 land forces, and more than 200 aircraft and 25 000 personnel.

Towards an Alliance of European Research Fleets
TOWARDS AN ALLIANCE OF EUROPEAN RESEARCH FLEETS Reporting Project Information EUROFLEETS Funded under FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES Grant agreement ID: 228344 Overall budget Status € 8 945 202,12 Closed project EU contribution Start date End date € 7 200 000 1 September 2009 31 August 2013 Coordinated by INSTITUT FRANCAIS DE RECHERCHE POUR L'EXPLOITATION DE LA MER France Final Report Summary - EUROFLEETS (TOWARDS AN ALLIANCE OF EUROPEAN RESEARCH FLEETS) Executive Summary: The quality of the infrastructures available for marine research contributes to Europe research performance. Marine research infrastructures are so considered as key elements of the European Strategy for Marine Research. A coherent pan-European approach with enhanced partnership in investment, development and usage of research fleets is necessary to better meet the diverse needs of European marine research. From its launching in September 2009, the EUROFLEETS (full name: “Towards an alliance of European research fleets”) process aims at bringing together the European research fleets owners and operators to enhance their coordination and to promote the cost-effective use of their facilities. It supported research services for the sustainable management and the monitoring of the regional seas and the oceans, and organized a common access to modern and well equipped research vessels to European and international g q pp p scientists and industrialists on sole condition of scientific excellence, thereby contributing to the EU ambitious goals for maintaining the ocean biodiversity or understanding climate change. Funded by FP7 (GA n°228344), the EUROFLEETS project included 24 diverse beneficiaries from 16 countries: 14 EU member states including 4 “recent” ones, and 2 countries associated to EU. -
Research Vessel Safety Standards
RESEARCH VESSEL SAFETY STANDARDS March 2009 UNOLS RVSS – Ninth Edition – March 2009 UNOLS Office University of Rhode Island – Graduate School of Oceanography 15 South Ferry Road Narragansett, RI 02882 This edition of the Research Vessel Safety Standards is dedicated to Captain Jim Williams of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, in appreciation for all of his work with the RVOC, UNOLS and in particular for his work on these standards for the academic research fleet. This edition is also dedicated to Bill Martin of the University of Washington who served as the Chair of RVTEC and as a key member of the Safety Committee, bringing the voice of sea-going marine technicians fully into the process of keeping these Safety Standards current and relevant to the UNOLS Community. The UNOLS Office and the UNOLS Research Vessel Safety Committee would like to acknowledge the support of the National Science Foundation, Office of Naval Research, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, US Geological Survey, and Minerals Management Service for support of this project. RVSS Edition 9 – 03/12/2009 PREFACE UNOLS Member Institutions first adopted the Research Vessel Safety Standards (RVSS) in May 1976. Later editions were adopted by members at UNOLS meetings in May 1981, May 1985, October 1989, September 1992, October 1995, July 1999 and March 2003. The UNOLS Council adopted this ninth edition in March 2009. In lieu of published institutional policy, these safety standards are considered the guidelines for UNOLS Research Vessels. For that reason, all UNOLS Members, both Operators and others, should be thoroughly familiar with the contents of this manual and comply with its recommendations as appropriate. -
