HOW TO HANDLE PROJECT CARGOES

The main content of the present practical checklist has been taken from the annex to this Project Cargo Matters publication. The project cargoes commonly require specific attention at the time of their loading and transportation. The expert knowledge in the field of transportation of subject cargoes is necessary for proper planning and engineering of the safe shipment.

All associated operations shall be very carefully managed and all responsibilities, toolbox talks and risk assessments shall be agreed well in advance. These cargoes would generally require the specialized ships featuring sufficient open deck space and heavy-lift capabilities, plus some other characteristics. The best choices would be heavy-lift or multi-purpose ships. The bulk carriers are not commonly considered a good option since using these vessels has already led to the numerous cargo damage claims. A good teamwork is a pre-requisite for the successful transportation of the project cargoes.

The responsibilities of the parties involved shall be defined and prior agreed. A duly prepared method statement of transportation manual shall also be prepared and agreed. Marine warranty surveyors may also be engaged. The mandatory applicable rules include charter-party requirements, class society rules, Flag state rules, CSS Code and CTU packaging guidelines etc.

HOW TO COMPLY WITH MARPOL ANNEX V

Starting from first day of the year 2013, the amendments to the fifth annex to MARPOL Convention mean that the shippers would have some new responsibilities relating to the classification of the cargo affecting the crew's ability to discharge the cargo residues and also wash the water directly into the marine environment. They will have to take into consideration whether or not the cargo they transport and, consequently, the cargo residues would be considered HME, standing for the "harmful to the marine environment".

The present booklet was prepared and released with the ultimate intention of the authors to set out all applicable requirements plus the process and concept of classification of the different cargoes as HME cargo. The Annex V to the MARPOL Convention primarily controls the discharge of the wash waters plus any non-recoverable residues - it is classed as "garbage" and falls under the controls that have been specified in Reg. 4.1.3 & 6.1.2 of the recent MARPOL amendments.

Here are the criteria governing the discharge of the cargo residues that are commonly contained there in the wash water - no cargo residues shall be discharged less than 12 nm from the nearest land/ice shell, and no discharge within the six so-called "Special Areas" specifically defined in the text of the Convention...

HOW DEEP SEA DIVERS USE MATH

Well, we can say that the deep sea divers work in completely another world - they get there with the first jump off the edge of the vessel or boar or platform. There are so many things to explore, taking into account that the oceans cover more than seventy percent of the surface of our planet. The oceans are being studied by many types of specialists and scientists.

Moreover, there are people diving to do some job underwater and people diving just for fun. And all of those people use mathematics before, in the course of, and after diving. The scientists actually talk about the ocean, one ocean, as the world's oceans are connected. They usually divide it into several levels, or "zones" based on the water depth. The divers usually need special equipment, depending on the pressure they will be exposed to under the water, i.e. depending on the depth.

As it comes clear from the title, this book is going to tell the readers about different ways the math is used by the divers. Apart from the information on the main subject, the readers will find so many interesting facts inside, related to the marine biology, Antarctic researches, deep diving etc. The glossary of the most frequently used terminology is also there.

HISTORIC NAVAL SHIPS: A GUIDE TO MORE THAN 100 CLASSIC WARSHIPS ON PUBLIC DISPLAY

The HNSA, standing for the Historic Naval Ships Association, was originally established more than fifty years ago with the intention of its members to promote the preservation and also the exhibition of more than a hundred of naval ships homeported from Sydney to Athens and from Corpus Christi to Toronto.

The HNSA comprises one of the strongest naval fleets in the world including battleships and aircraft carriers, submarines and cruisers, frigates and destroyers, Victory and Liberty class vessels, corvettes, cutters, motor torpedo boats etc. As it is implied in the title of the book, it will provide readers with the technical information covering more than a hundred of classic naval warships on public display.

The main content of the publication is starting with the introductory chapter providing some general overview of the HNSA and the alphabetical listing of the vessels addressed in the pages of the volume. The very first naval warships selected for preservation and further exhibition in America were the USS Oregon and USS Constitution.

Each of the vessels covered within this publication is provided with the information on the class, launching date and place, main dimensions and armament, and other relevant data plus some narrative text that will definitely be greatly appreciated by all people with the interest in this field...
