OBJECTIVES In accordance with the Termpol Review Process (TRP) Guidelines, TP743E 2001, the objective of this study is “to determine the suitability of the design ship, or when applicable, design ships, selected by the proponent.” 1.1 CONTEXT The design vessels expected to berth at the Westridge Terminal are Panamax class (approximately 60,000 to 80,000 Deadweight Tons, or DWT) and Aframax class (approximately 80,000 to 120,000 DWT). Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 below show typical Panamax and Aframax vessels respectively. Trans Mountain will not own or charter the vessels berthing at the terminal, however as the terminal operator Trans Mountain enforces a vessel acceptance criteria and vessel vetting process to ensure vessels calling at the terminal are suitable. The vetting process is described in further detail in Sections 3 and 4 below.

Trans Mountain will neither own nor charter vessels. There are two methods to charter a vessel for transporting goods: Voyage or spot charter is an agreement in which the charterer (oil owner) leases a vessel and crew to transport cargo between specified loading and discharge ports. The charterer pays the vessel proprietor

The strongest party which will take its seats in the plenary chambers in Brus- sels (and, as an expensive anachronism, also in Strasbourg), albeit only for a brief period, is the Brexit Party, with 29 seats, whose programme is implicit in their name. Although EU institutions across the entire continent are challenged in terms of their public acceptance, in many countries the election has been fought with a very great deal of emotion, as if the day of reckoning is dawning, on which decisions will be All or Nothing. Some have raised concerns about the prosperous “European Project”, which they see as in dire need of rescue from malevolent sceptics. Others have painted an image of the decline of the West, which would inevitably come about if Brussels were to be allowed to continue on its present course.

  • Shipbuilding
    Shipbuilding A promising rst half, an uncertain second one 2018 started briskly in the wake of 2017. In the rst half of the year, newbuilding orders were placed at a rate of about 10m dwt per month. However the pace dropped in the second half, as owners grappled with a rise in newbuilding prices and growing uncertainty over the IMO 2020 deadline. Regardless, newbuilding orders rose to 95.5m dwt in 2018 versus 83.1m dwt in 2017. Demand for bulkers, container carriers and specialised ships increased, while for tankers it receded, re ecting low freight rates and poor sentiment. Thanks to this additional demand, shipbuilders succeeded in raising newbuilding prices by about 10%. This enabled them to pass on some of the additional building costs resulting from higher steel prices, new regulations and increased pressure from marine suppliers, who have also been struggling since 2008.

See the conversion table on the back of this form for converting inches to tenths of a foot. LENGTH (L) is the horizontal distance between the outboard side of the foremost part of the stem and the outboard side of the aftermost part of the stern, excluding rudders, outboard motor brackets, and other similar fittings and attachments. BREADTH (B) is the horizontal distance taken at the widest part of the hull, excluding rub rails and deck caps, from the outboard side of the skin (outside planking or plating) on one side of the hull, to the outboard side of the skin on the other side of the hull. DEPTH (D) is the vertical distance taken at or near amidships from a line drawn horizontally through the uppermost edges of the skin (outside planking or plating) at the sides of the hull (excluding the cap rail, trunks, cabins, deck caps, and deckhouses) to the outboard face of the bottom skin of the hull, excluding the keel.

  • Branch's Elements of Shipping/Alan E
    ‘I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in shipping or taking a course where shipping is an important element, for example, chartering and broking, maritime transport, exporting and importing, ship management, and international trade. Using an approach of simple analysis and pragmatism, the book provides clear explanations of the basic elements of ship operations and commercial, legal, economic, technical, managerial, logistical, and financial aspects of shipping.’ Dr Jiangang Fei, National Centre for Ports & Shipping, Australian Maritime College, University of Tasmania, Australia ‘Branch’s Elements of Shipping provides the reader with the best all-round examination of the many elements of the international shipping industry. This edition serves as a fitting tribute to Alan Branch and is an essential text for anyone with an interest in global shipping.’ David Adkins, Lecturer in International Procurement and Supply Chain Management, Plymouth Graduate School of Management, Plymouth University ‘Combining the traditional with the modern is as much a challenge as illuminating operations without getting lost in the fascination of the technical detail. This is particularly true for the world of shipping! Branch’s Elements of Shipping is an ongoing example for mastering these challenges. With its clear maritime focus it provides a very comprehensive knowledge base for relevant terms and details and it is a useful source of expertise for students and practitioners in the field.’ Günter Prockl, Associate Professor, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark This page intentionally left blank Branch’s Elements of Shipping Since it was first published in 1964, Elements of Shipping has become established as a market leader.

Conclusions- The Way Ahead A. Papanikolaou HOLISTIC SHIP DESIGN OPTIMISATION 2 Important Design Optimization Notions (1) • Holism (from Greek όλος, meaning entire, total)-holistic The properties of a system cannot be determined or explained by looking at its component parts alone; instead of, the system as a whole determines decisively how the part components behave or perform. “The whole is more than the sum of the parts” (Aristotle Metaphysics) • Reductionism-reduction: is sometimes interpreted as the opposite of holism. “A complex system can be approached by reduction to its fundamental parts” • Holism and reductionism need, for proper account of complex systems, to be regarded as complementary approaches to system analysis. • Systemic and analytical approaches are also complementary and strongly related to holism and reductionism • Risk (financial): “A quantifiable likelihood of loss or of less-than-expected returns” • Risk (general): “A quantifiable likelihood of loss of an acceptable state or of a worse-than-expected state condition” • Safety: may be defined as “An acceptable state of risk” A.
