Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13007.
Full textThe question this dissertation aims to answer is how developing countries can be better included in the IMOs decision-making process in order to make the process more efficient regarding time efficiency and the enforcement of decisions. It will be shown that the decision-making process of the IMO lacks efficiency regarding time-efficiency, which leads to a delay in finalising, adopting and implementing IMO decisions. Furthermore, the implementation and enforcement of decisions is inefficient. It will be demonstrated that the IMO would work more efficiently if developing countries would be better included in the decision making process. In order to point out ways to increase the IMOs efficiency and to improve the participation of developing countries in the process, seven suggestions on how to improve the efficiency of the IMO will be analysed. However, it will be shown that only a few of them have the double effect of improving the effectiveness of IMO´s decision-making process and strengthening the participation of developing countries. Out of the seven proposals for strengthening the efficiency of the IMOs decision-making process that are to be examined in this work only a change to the structure of the IMO to open up the “rich man´s club” and the expansion of the IMOs efforts to strengthen the member states implementation willingness achieve both objectives at the same time. However, there is not just one way to improve the IMOs decision-making process and the participation of developing countries in it. For achieving the best results, a few of the proposals should be combined.

Full textThe test for remoteness of damages laid down in Hadley v Baxendale has survived more than a century and a half with comparatively little meddling from the English courts. That is not to say there has been no attempt at refinement or clarification. The recent decision in The Achilleas saw five Law Lords coming to the same conclusion as to the rule’s effect but for very different reasons. This dissertation will consider the historical development of the Hadley v Baxendale rule, its rationale, its application in the later English cases of Nettleship, Victoria Laundry and The Heron II, the approaches adopted by the House of Lords in The Achilleas, its subsequent effect in The Amer Energy and The Sylvia, the difference in approach adopted in tort and finally will conclude with a comparison of the approaches to assessing remoteness of damages in English and South African law.

"An examination of the inadequacy of the wording of the damage claim provisions of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, resulting in interpretative legal difficulties as revealed by claims stemming from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12857.
Full textThe United States Oil Pollution Act 1990 (OPA), contains a provision, s1002(b) (2), that sets out six categories or kinds of damage that may be recovered from a ‘responsible party’ liable for losses resulting from damage caused by the discharge of oil in United States (US) waters. The provision was drafted with the purpose of facilitating a predictable and just outcome for claimants against such a responsible party. The central argument of this dissertation is that the intended purpose is undermined by difficulties in interpreting certain of these provisions, and that, if these provisions are to achieve their objective, they require legislative amendment and that such reform is urgent. The BP Spill highlighted the issue of the lack of clarity in the claims provisions of the OPA as well as revealing the potentially catastrophic and widespread effect that a spill of this magnitude can have.

Full textThis thesis has the aim of analysing the metamorphosis of piracy into its present day status as a menace and how it has impacted most especially on the marine insurance industry. The marine insurance industry is basically comprised of the relationship between the assured (shipowner/cargo owner) and the insurer, and the nexus which creates the relationship between these parties lies in the marine insurance policy which is taken out by the assured and underwritten by the insurer.

Full textThe main purpose of the international organization when adopting an international convention is to provide uniform rules for specific fields. The incorporation of international regulation into the legal system of States parties depends on the national laws. In France, the monism system leads to the possibility for every claimant to invoke the provisions of the treaties to support their claim. The authority of international maritime convention has increased when the EU regulation implemented them in EU system which implies that States members are obliged to comply with them. The legal status of international convention in the national French legal system guarantees the enforcement of their own provisions, provided that they are duly applied by the national Courts. The judge will have a significant impact in the enforcement of a treaty. His ruling can improve the unification of international law. However, the judge will be subject to some constraints that may threaten the aim of unification of applicable rules in the shipping law

Full textSea transport has seen strong growth over the past 30 years, which impacts on the marine environment, an environment sensitive to pollution. Maritime law generally adheres to a wait-and-see approach, developed as a reaction to successive environmental disasters, and arising from a much-needed reconciliation of shipowners' economic interests and the pressing nature of environmental issues. The States' decision making process is strongly influenced by the economic importance of sea transport who, in their triple function of coastal State, port State and/or flag State are often driven to make legislations of convenience in tax, economic, social and environmental matters. Measures could be proposed to develop laws in order to establish a balance within the IMO, and restore a transparent and genuine link between States, fleets and shipowners. In fact, modern maritime law allows room, in particular through lobbying tools, for other parties who intervene on the enactment and implementation of the law ruled by governance procedures. This widening of the normative process and avenues for sanction/redress to all stakeholders could ensure a better integration of environmental standards in maritime law. If the dialogue with local authorities is complicated by their status, at the same time victims, actors and obstruction of rights, the development of NGOs, currently limited in the international jurisdictional framework, would guarantee these objectives are achieved, including a better effectiveness of the law. The experience gained in the field of a CIFRE thesis, within the legal department of Surfrider Foundation Europe illustrates and establishes these avenues of improvement

Full textThis dissertation studies the relations between the socioeconomic base and the political-juridical superstructure, with the demonstration that they form a dialectic totality, but keeping the relative autonomy of its parts. The text shows the specific nature of Law as an important part of the superstructure and its role in the definition of national development models within the process of mundialization. The relative autonomy of Law is demonstrated in theoretical and historical-concrete terms, first, by showing that there is no automatic determination of Law by the socioeconomic structure and, second, with the evidence of the political and juridical constitution of the material base itself. These elements of the relative autonomy are explained by the political and juridical characteristics of the state, Law, the international system and the mundialization process as something that is deliberately produced by the different actors in conflict within the domestic and international superstructures. Parting from this point of view of critical institutionalism, the relations between Law and Economics are demonstrated and analyzed in the case study of the current juridical-institutional organization of the shipping industry in Brazil and its effects in terms of development for the shipping branch and the economy as a whole. The dissertation shows that the current model is insufficient for the consolidation of an autonomous national shipping industry, with the consequent negative impacts on the systemic competitiveness of the Brazilian economy, its national accounts, the national accumulation of capital and the development of correlated economic sectors, such as the shipbuilding industry.
A presente dissertação aprofunda o estudo das relações entre base material socioeconômica e superestrutura político-jurídica, com a demonstração de que formam uma totalidade dialética, mas com relativa autonomia de suas partes. Esclarece a natureza específica do direito como importante elemento superestrutural e seu papel para a definição de modelos de desenvolvimento nacionais no atual contexto da mundialização, demonstrando, em termos teórico-conceituais e histórico-concretos, sua relativa autonomia, tanto pelo aspecto de sua não determinação automática pelas relações socioeconômicas, quanto pela constituição política e jurídica da própria base material. Estes elementos de relativa autonomia são explicados pelas características político-jurídicas do Estado, do direito, do sistema internacional e da própria mundialização enquanto processo deliberadamente produzido pelos atores em luta nas esferas superestruturais doméstica e internacional. Sob essa ótica de institucionalismo crítico, as relações entre direito e economia são demonstradas e analisadas no estudo do caso concreto da organização jurídico-institucional da navegação marítima brasileira atual e seus efeitos em termos de desenvolvimento setorial e geral. O trabalho demonstra que o atual modelo é insuficiente para a consolidação de uma navegação marítima nacional autônoma, afetando negativamente a competitividade sistêmica da economia brasileira, suas contas nacionais, a acumulação de capital nacional e o desenvolvimento de setores conexos, como a construção naval.

Full textDespite the length limitation of an abstract, it is considered appropriate to define and clarify the object of this work. In times of intense legislative activity, the debate concerning to the nature of the decision given by the Maritime Court strengthened when the art. 529, item X of the Brazilian New Procedural Code (enacted on House of Representatives version) gave force to the maritime court as an enforceable judgment. In this study, within the limits of a master thesis, our purpose is to research the possibility of exercising judicial activity outside the boundaries of the Judiciary Power - here called "shared jurisdiction , where we will be able to highlight a focus on the activity performed by the Maritime Court. On the ground of this delimitation of the subject, we shall briefly input our research outline. Initially, it was analyzed the maritime law as an autonomous science with emphasis in its codification, its concept, its sources and its spatial boundaries. Then, it was examined the special maritime procedures listed in the Codes CPC/39, CPC/73 and NCPC. For a deep investigation of the maritime special due process, it was consider absolutely necessary, yet concisely, to track the historical evolution of the concept of jurisdiction in order to be able to enter the second part of the work with regards to judicial review of decisions of the Maritime Court - linking, thus, to the so-called shared jurisdiction by having the Maritime Court performing judicial activity
Ainda que por intermédio de poucas palavras, julga-se conveniente delimitar e aclarar o objeto deste trabalho. Em época de intensa atividade legislativa, acirrou-se o debate acerca da natureza da decisão proferida pelo Tribunal Marítimo Brasileiro quando o art. 529, inciso X do NCPC (versão aprovada pela Câmara dos Deputados) atribuiu força de título executivo judicial ao acórdão marítimo. Neste trabalho, e nos limites de uma dissertação de mestrado, o propósito é estudar a possibilidade de exercício de atividade jurisdicional fora do âmbito exercido pelo Poder Judiciário em uma espécie do que aqui se denominou jurisdição compartilhada do enfoque da atividade judicante desempenhada pelo Tribunal Marítimo, na Lei n. 2.180/54 (Lei Orgânica do Tribunal Marítimo LOTM). Fixada, em linhas essenciais, a delimitação do tema, convém enunciar resumidamente o programa de nossa investigação. De inicio, discorreu-se sobre o direito marítimo como ciência autônoma, com destaque para sua codificação, seu conceito, suas fontes e seus limites espaciais. Em seguida, abordaram-se os procedimentos marítimos especiais que constam expressamente nos CPC/39, CPC/73 e NCPC. Para uma análise do processo marítimo, pareceu-nos absolutamente necessário, ainda que de forma concisa, acompanhar a evolução do conceito de jurisdição, adentrando-se, enfim, na segunda parte do trabalho, no tocante à revisão judicial das decisões do Tribunal Marítimo revolvendo a hipótese do exercício da atividade jurisdicional fora da estrutura judiciária

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The current housing backlog facing the informal residents of South Africa is daunting. With current research showing that the backlog is not shrinking fast enough, the stakeholders of the formal and informal housing sector are facing an immense challenge. Most houses constructed after 1994 utilised conventional brick and mortar construction, with alternative means of building homes taking up a negligible share in the total housing supply. The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of container-based homes as an alternative to brick and mortar homes in South Africa’s low-cost housing supply according to the triple constraints of project management i.e. cost, time and quality. Social acceptance and environmental sustainability are also analysed as two secondary parameters that will influence container-based projects. These parameters form the basis of the three pillars of sustainability, i.e. economic, societal and environmental parameters, which indicates the feasibility of a new design implementation. Two test cases for the feasibility study were designed. The first case considers a modular single-storey residential home, equivalent to standard “Breaking New Ground” housing solutions. The second test case considers a multi-storey, medium-density residential building, capable of housing multiple families .The test cases represent possible container-based solutions, with traditional brick and mortar construction (single and multi-storey) acting as the control solution. The three sustainability parameters act as benchmarks of each solutions’ feasibility, with the control solution acting as the counter-performance example. The comparison of the economic parameter relies on the cost of each design case, its construction time and the quality of the end-product. The bills of quantities were measured against a conventional building type, and it was found that a single-storey solution will prove more costly than a small brick and mortar home. However, the multi-storey solution proves to be feasible when compared to a concrete three-storey structure. Regarding time, the construction of an Intermodal Steel Building Unit (ISBU) home is up to 3 times faster compared to a conventional house. The end-product quality will depend on the quality system used by the contractor and its correct implementation; thus it is not an important dividing factor when comparing conventional versus Alternative Building Technology (ABT) systems. The societal parameter of an ISBU solution rests on its acceptance by the beneficiaries. Traditionally, resistance has met ABT home implementation, as stakeholders consider them as inferior products. A comprehensive survey was carried out in an informal settlement to test this statement. The results show that the majority of beneficiaries prefer conventional homes, unless the ABT home resembles its conventional counterpart. The environmental sustainability of a new product relies primarily on the carbon footprint of the materials and methods used. This was tested by comparing the impact of an ISBU solution with a conventional solution. The “upcycling” (as opposed to recycling) of used containers provides a large environmental benefit when comparing it to newly constructed brick for conventional homes, and thus the impact is lower. The findings of the study show that a single-storey solution utilising containers proves ineffective, as it is more expensive per square meter than a conventional home. However, a multi-storey container solution is feasible, as it is lower in cost (than comparative conventional solutions), faster to construct, allows for higher density expansion of settlements and is more environmentally friendly.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die enorme behuisingsagterstand van informele nedersetters in Suid-Afrika skep 'n geweldige uitdaging vir die rolspelers in die formele behuisingsektor. Huidige navorsing toon dat hierdie agterstand nie vinnig genoeg verminder nie, en baie mense verkeer in nood. Die meerderheid van huise wat opgerig is sedert 1994 maak gebruik van konvensionele baksteen en sement konstruksie, terwyl alternatiewe maniere van konstruksie 'n nietige aandeel het. Die doel van hierdie studie is om die bruikbaarheid van skeepshouer-gebaseerde huise te bepaal in teenstelling met konvensionele baksteen en sement huise, spesifiek vir die lae-koste behuisingsgeval in Suid-Afrika. Dit word uitgevoer volgens die "drietallige beperking" beginsel van projekbestuur, naamlik koste, tyd en kwaliteit parameters. Addisioneel word die sosiale aanvaarbaarheid sowel as die omgewingsvriendelikheid van die konsep getoets teen konvensionele maniere van konstruksie. Hierdie parameters vorm saam die “drie pilare van volhoubaarheid”, wat betrekking het tot ekonomiese-, sosiale- en omgewings-aspekte. Twee toetsgevalle is ontwerp volgens argitektoniese en tegniese standaarde sowel as gemeenskap benodigdhede. Die eerste geval is ontwerp as 'n enkel-verdieping huis, met behulp van modulêre skeepshouers. Die tweede geval is 'n meertallige-verdieping, medium-digtheid residensiële gebou wat verskeie families kan huisves. Die toetsgevalle modelleer verskeie skeepshouer oplossings, terwyl konvensionele konstruksie oplossings dien as beheer gevalle. Elke geval word volgens die drie volhoubaarheids beginsels getoets, met die beheer gevalle wat dien as die teen-prestasie voorbeelde. Die vergelyking van die ekonomiese parameter berus op die koste van elke ontwerp, sy konstruksietyd en die eindproduk kwaliteit. Die lys van hoeveelhede is gemeet teen dié van ʼn konvensionele huis, en daar is bevind dat die enkelverdieping skeepshouer-geval veel duurder sal wees. Die meertallige-verdieping geval aan die ander kant, maak gebruik van baie kostebesparings metodes, en lyk uitvoerbaar. Die tyd-aspek wys dat die konstruksie m.b.v. “Intermodal Steel Building Units” (ISBUs) tot en met 3 keer vinniger te wees teenoor ʼn konvensionele huis. Die eindproduk kwaliteit hang af van die tipe kwaliteit stelsel wat die kontrakteur gebruik, sowel as die korrekte toepassing van hierdie stelsel; dus is dit nie ʼn skeidende faktor tussen alternatiewe en konvensionele boumetodes nie. Die gemeenskaplike aspek van die gebruik van alternatiewe konstruksie berus op die aanvaarding van die huisbewoners. Gemeenskappe het tradisioneel nie ʼn hoë dunk van Alternatiewe Bou-Tegnologie (ABT) behuising nie, aangesien hulle dit as swak kwaliteit bestempel. Om hierdie stelling te toets is ʼn opname uitgevoer in ʼn informele nedersetting. Die resultate wys dat die meerderheid inwoners die konvensionele opsie verkies. Daar is wel bevind dat die inwoners ʼn ISBU huis sal oorweeg indien dit ʼn visuele ooreenkoms toon met ʼn konvensionele huis. Die omgewingsvolhoubaarheid van ʼn nuwe produk berus hoofsaaklik op die koolstof-voetspoor van die materiale en boumetodes wat gebruik is. Hierdie aspek is getoets deur ʼn ISBU oplossing se omgewings-impak te meet teen dié van ʼn konvensionele huis. Die “upcycling” voordeel wat skeepshouers gebruik gee ʼn groot voordeel teenoor die konstruksie van konvensionele huise, siende dat min nuwe materiale gebruik word. Dus is die totale omgewings impak laer as die van ʼn konvensionele huis. Die bevindinge van die navorsing wys dat ʼn enkelverdieping ISBU oplossing onprakties is in terme van koste per vierkante meter, aangesien dit veel duurder as ʼn konvensionele metode is. Die meertallige-verdieping geval is wel uitvoerbaar, aangesien dit ʼn laer koste tot gevolg het, vinniger gebou word, hoër-digtheid behuising bevorder en meer omgewings-vriendelik is.

Full textEsta tesis estudia los factores que influyen en la optimización y dimensionamiento de las terminales de graneles sólidos, a la vez que busca un modelo para reflejarlos. A la vez pretende aportar una visión general del mundo del transporte marítimo de graneles sólidos, y su operativa, agrupando e identificado la bibliografía ligada al sector. En una primera parte (Capítulos 1 y 2) se estudian, y analizan, todos aquellos factores que influyen en las características de una terminal portuaria de graneles sólidos. En una segunda parte(Capítulos 3 y 4) se analizan una serie de terminales internacionales de graneles sólidos, las denominadas "campeones mundiales", y una gran parte de las mayores terminales ubicadas en el litoral español. Tras analizar detalladamente las diferentes tipologías de terminales se concluye señalando aquellos factores determinantes a la hora de proceder al diseño de la terminal, como son las dimensiones del buque, ala vez que se indica la volatilidad que sufre el sector y que en ocasiones puede obligar a cambios de estrategia por modificaciones sobre los tráficos previstos.

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to, from an institutional approach, study how the Stockholm importers within the textile sector adapted their foreign trade to the change in economic policy 1720 through 1738. The focus is to investigate to what extent the introduction of new laws, regulations etc. can be an explanation for what happened to Stockholm’s foreign trade, mainly imports, particularly textile imports during the period. It is mainly the economic policies that had been enacted during the Hornian government and their effects that have been studied. This is a period that has seldom been studied in other research.
This thesis begins when the Russian raids were over. This was a year when the foreign trade still was relatively free and was untouched by the 17th century’s regulations. After 1721 the policies that would be introduced to increase Sweden's level of self-sufficiency and strengthen ties with the North Sea area had several components. Besides the economic policy, the main sources for the thesis are the city toll records.
The trade policies in the shape of tolls and fees, import and consumption bans etc. and the commercial policies together became different kinds of political tools used for several purposes. The conclusion of this thesis is that the economic policies made the Stockholm importers adapt their trade to the change. The import bans and sumptuary laws had an effect. The economic policies gave rise to an increase in the import of textile raw materials. The rise in toll costs and import fees contributed to displacing the foreign trade towards other areas. The change in the economic policies was successful in the sense that it gave rise to new conditions for domestic production within the textile sector and forced Stockholm's importers to adapt their foreign trade.
