Of the tugs for sale, 53.39% of foreign and 95.04% of U.S. tugboats are direct from Owners. 201 or 32.26% of the tugs worldwide, primarily foreign flagged, were built within the last 10 years, are newbuilding re-sales or currently under construction – compared to 35.94% at last November’s report. 70 (11.24%) are over 50 years of age. Eight have no age listed. The oldest tug Marcon currently has listed was built in 1912 and is very last of over 1,000 first generation steam trawlers and halibut fishers. This “old lady” is balanced by 15 newbuildings up to 8,076HP scheduled for delivery in 2016. 1 www.marcon.com Details believed correct, not guaranteed. Offered subject to availability. Marcon International, Inc. Tug Boat Market Report – May 2016 The majority of tugs Marcon tracks for sale as of the time this report is being written are in Southeast Asia with 131 tugs officially on the market (142 last report), followed by 123 in the U.S. (118), 69 in the Mid-East (51), 66 in the Far East (76), Europe with 65 (65), 55 in the Mediterranean (60), 27 in the South Pacific (30), 21 in Latin America (29), 20 in Africa (23), 18 in the Caribbean (15), 14 in Canada (13), 8 in Southwest Asia (8) and 6 where location unstated (10). CAT diesels still power most tugs for sale with machinery in 152 or 24% of the tugs Marcon lists. This is followed by 86 Cummins, 57 EMD, 55 Yanmar, 54 Niigata, 25 Deutz-MWM and Mitsubishi, 24 each GM/DD and 19 Wartsila powered tugs. 126 tugs are powered by machinery from other manufacturers from ABC to Zibo with, as always seems, six Fairbanks Morse boats still on the market. In tugs listed for sale since May 2011, CAT and Yanmar powered vessels are up 5 percentage points each, Cummins and Niigata are up 2 points each and EMD is down 3 points. There has been a definite shift in the second-hand tug market over the last few years with newer boats, many of which are ASDs out of Southeast Asia and the Far East, being offered for sale. Five years ago, only 30.63% of the tugs worldwide, primarily foreign flag, were built within the previous ten years compared to 32.26% today. The United States also then had the largest selection of tugs listed for sale with 151 available (24.0%) tracked by Marcon (plus seven additional U.S. flag tugs overseas). 108 tugs were located in Southeast Asia (17.1%), 102 tugs in Europe (16.2%), Far East 83 (13.2%), Mediterranean 73 (11.6%), Mid-East 33 (5.2%) and Caribbean 27 (4.3%). Another major shift in the marketplace is with the Southeast Asian second-hand tug market overtaking Europe and the U.S. in the number of tugs for sale in the region. As far as types go - conventional twin screw tugs still prevail today with 370 (59.4%) for sale worldwide. These are followed by 136 azimuthing tugs (21.8%) on the market, 103 single-screw tugs (16.5%), 9 Voith Schneider tractor tugs (1.4%) and five triple screw (0.8%). As a comparison and demonstrating the trend in propulsion, five years ago 21.7% of the 630 tugs for sale were single screw, 57.1% twin screw, 17.1% azimuthing and 3.5% were Voith Schneider. As we have been saying for a while many older single screw boats have lingered too long and are now being broken up. We now see more ASD tugs listed for sale worldwide than single screw tugs. The greatest global changes in horsepower for sale in the last five years have been in the 2,000 – 2,999HP range with 26 tugs more available today with an average age of 28 years compared to May 2011 when the average age of the 142 vessels listed was 30 years. Tugs in the 3,000-3,999HP range declined by 11 from five years ago. Average age increased from 21 years to 22 years, with average build date now of 1994. There are also eight fewer 7,000 – 7,999HP tugs today (31 years / avg. build date 1985). Average age in 2011 in this horsepower range was 26 years. Actual sale prices of all vessels and barges sold by Marcon to- date has averaged 90.86% of asking prices. In 2015 actual sales prices averaged 84.95% of asking prices, compared to 2014’s 85.65%, 2013’s 87.07% and 2012’s average 81.79%. Four tugs were sold so far in 2016 with an average price per BHP of $279.18 and average age of 35 years. Five tugs were sold in 2015 with an average price of $243.20 and average age of 34 years. Seven tugs were sold in 2014 with an average price per BHP of $282.55 and average age of 41 years. These are lower than 2013’s average price per BHP for a “generic” 33 year old twin screw tug of US$ 324.78. 2014 sales included both foreign and domestic tugs and actual ages covered a relatively narrow range from 32 to 47 years of age, whereas 2015’s sales included one foreign and four U.S. sales with ages ranging from 8 to 50 years and 2016’s to date include one foreign and three U.S. sales with ages ranging from 19 to 50 years. We continually see updates about vessels scrapped or repossessed and we believe that this first quarter 2016’s uptick in $/BHP is only temporary due to the specific vessels and that prices, especially for older vessels, will continue to decline for the next few years. 2 www.marcon.com Details believed correct, not guaranteed.

Hitachi Zosen has developed the EPOCH MARK n series which has a unique structure not found on conventional ship designs. Revolutionary in concept, the MARKII incorporates a unidirectional girder system combined with a complete double hull structure. While a ship's hull is customarily designed with a grillage of longitudinal and transverse members for strength, this system uses only longitudinal members in a double hull to provide sufficient strength. This unidirectional girder system results in unprecedented structural simplicity and completely flush surfaced cargo tank interior. MARKII product oil carriers provide unrivaled advantages in performances over more conventional designs. The EPOCH MARK n series is available in 40, 60 and 80 thousands dwt designs.

  • Ian Rae: “Two Croatian Chemists Who Were Awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry”
    Croatian Studies Review 13 (2017) Ian Rae: “Two Croatian Chemists who were Awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry” Ian Rae School of Chemistry University of Melbourne [email protected] Abstract Two organic chemists of Croatian origin, Leopold Ružička and Vladimir Prelog, made significant contributions to natural product chemistry during the twentieth century. They received their university education and research training in Germany and Czechoslovakia, respectively. Both made their careers in Zürich, Switzerland, and both shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, in 1939 and 1975, respectively. In this article, I have set the details of their lives and achievements against the education and research climates in Europe and other regions, especially as they apply to the field of chemistry. Key words: Croatia, organic, chemistry, Nobel, Ružička, Prelog 31 Croatian Studies Review 13 (2017) Introduction1 In the twentieth century two organic chemists of Croatian origin were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. They were Lavoslav (Leopold) Ružička (1887-1976) and Vladimir Prelog (1906-1998), whose awards came in 1939 and 1975, respectively. Both were living and working in Switzerland at the time of the awards and it was in that country – specifically in the city of Zürich – that they performed the research that made them Nobel Laureates. To understand the careers of Ružička and Prelog, and of many other twentieth century organic chemists, we need to look back to the nineteenth century when German chemists were the leaders in this field of science. Two developments characterise this German hegemony: the introduction of the research degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), and the close collaboration between organic chemists in industry and university.

Thanks to his many years working as an electrician on the locks, my grandfather was able to tell me a lot about the ships that passed through. And it was these early impressions that first awakened my interest in shipping. Having completed a "vacation internship" at the age of 17 at the shipping company Leonhardt & Blumberg (Hamburg), I decided to train as a ship's mechanic. A year later, I started training at the Hamburg-based shipping company Claus-Peter Offen and qualified after 2 ½ years. I then worked for 18 months as a ship's mechanic on the jack-up vessel THOR, operated by Hochtief Solutions AG, which gave me the opportunity to gain a wealth of experience in all things nautical. While studying for my degree in nautical science at the Bremen University of Applied Sciences, I spent the semester breaks on two different fully cellular container vessels owned by the shipping company Claus-Peter Offen to further my knowledge as a ship's engineer and prospective nautical engineer.

  • The Allied Presence on Vis 1943-45 15 Jul 43 a C-47A
    The Allied Presence on Vis 1943-45 15 Jul 43 A C-47A (ser. # 42-23515; Mission 9377) went MIA at Vis Island (apparently all crewmen were accounted for).1 Mid Aug 43 Some 3 weeks before Italy capitulated, the Partisans captured the entire Italian military garrison, of approx. 50 troops, on Vis without a fight, nor any casualties (variously described as an old fort and a lookout post atop Mt Hum). The Italians were disarmed and then freed, whereupon 10 hostages were taken from both Komiža and Vis, with the Italian demand that their weapons be returned within three days.2 31 Aug 43 With no weapons having been returned, the 20 hostages from Komiža and Vis were publicly executed by Italian firing squad.3 8 Sep 43 Italy capitulated. 24 Sep 43 Split evacuated by Partisans under Gen Koca Popović, to advancing Germans, having only controlled the city for eleven days.4 12 Oct 43 OSS began a 3-month mission, under Major Louis Huot, USA, to provide 6,000 tons of supplies to the Partisan garrison on Vis, via Bari, aboard the HMS Gull (Sub-Lt Taylor, RNR) and the little coal steamer SS Bakar. Huot wrote of his main interlocutors being the garrison commander, Commander Sergije Makiedo (actually the Commissar, Lt Col [later Admiral] Josip Černi/Černy was the Cdr), and Jože Poduje. They would moor in the "Baie des Anglais," a little basin on the eastern side of Vis harbor. A derelict convent on the waterfront then served as the Partisan hospital, with 3 young indefatigable doctors, “Bobin,” who spoke shaky French, “Zucalo” who spoke appalling English, & “Biacic” who spoke basic German [note how Strutton cites only 2 Partisan doctors on Vis, the charlatan, “Dr.

  • A Review of B.A.T. for a Sentinel Tug Stationed at Hinchinbrook Entrance
    ! Date: August 21, 2014 From: Mark Swanson, PWSRCAC Executive Director When responses for the escort tug BAT study were accepted, the firm of Robert Allan Ltd (RAL) received the best score out of the proposals submitted. The bulk of the work product for this project is found in the report titled A Review of Best Available Technology in Tanker Escort Tugs that has been approved by the Council. The Council went out for a RFP on the sentinel tug issue in 2008. Prices quoted ranged from $52,000 to $368,521 to $450,645. The work was never conduced and the cost was likely too high to continue with the project. The attached Hinchinbrook tug analysis done by RAL is meant to provide a basic framework for what might constitute BAT with the sentinel tug. This as a stepping stone, an effort to lay out some basic requirements and goals for the tug; it was never meant to be an independent study. If there is an attempt to pursue another sentinel tug RFP, this document will greatly aid that effort. The contract with RAL for the Hinchinbrook sentinel tug analysis asked them to: Conduct an analysis of what would constitute BAT for the sentinel tug stationed at Hinchinbrook Entrance, estimating the following required characteristics; particulars, stability, seakeeping, bollard pull, speed, endurance, range, indirect towing capability, rescue towing capability, and towing gear. The Council will work with the Consultant to define the mission statement for the Hinchinbrook Sentinel vessel. Robert Allan prepared this study as requested and it will prove to be useful to the POVTS Committee and Council going forward.

    15th Volume, No. 27 1963 – “50 years tugboatman” - 2013 Dated 04 May 2014 BUYING, SALES, NEW BUILDING, RENAMING AND OTHER TUGS TOWING & OFFSHORE INDUSTRY NEWS TUGS & TOWING NEWS SALVAGE TUG TITAN One of the readers forward me a picture of the Titan (Imo 7349065) with the following text: I was walking the waterfront in Ho Chi Minh City this morning, 25th April 2014, when I spotted the beautiful old salvage tug Titan. She shows no port of registry and carries no stack logo so I am not sure of her status. I note that you mentioned her in your July 16, 2011 issue so I am sending this photo as an update. The Titan with her sisters, Wotan, Simson and Atlantic, were built in the mid 70’s last decade for Bugsier Reederei und Bergungs AD – Hamburg; Germany. The Titan built by F. Schichau (Schichau Unterweser AG) – Bremerhaven; Germany under number 2253 was built in 1974. In December 1992 she was sold to the Vietnamese Navy and managed by Van Xuan Co. – Hanoi; Vietnam and renamed HQ 960 Titan. She has a length of 77,73 mtrs a beam of 13,59 mtrs a depth of 6,61 mtrs a grt of 1,599 tons and a nrt of 163 tons. The two 4 stroke V12 cyl.
