Full textOpen registries have been criticized for not complying with international accepted shipping standards in safety, environmental, and labour aspects. However, some of them have made great efforts to raise these standards, mainly obliged by the new demands of the shipping industry. Nonetheless, the shift to a new culture of quality shipping is not only a responsibility of flag states, but of all the actors of a maritime scenario.

Full textLa ràpida evolució de la indústria dels creuers en els darrers 50 anys és evident. Els creuers que al segle XIX eren simples modes de transport utilitzats pels immigrants en viatges transoceànics des d'Europa a Amèrica del Nord a la recerca d'un futur millor, s'han convertit en autèntiques ciutats flotants plenes de serveis i activitats a bord, en les quals l'objectiu principal ha passat a ser el lleure i el plaer. Els passatgers ja no fan un creuer pel simple fet de desplaçar-se d'un punt a un altre, sinó que busquen viure una experiència única dins del vaixell i no els importa tant el destí final del seu viatge. Per aquest motiu, molts experts consideren que el creuer ha esdevingut un destí de viatge en si mateix. Aquesta evolució del concepte del creuer iniciada en la dècada dels anys 70 no ha estat senzilla i ha comportat un conjunt de problemàtiques que han afectat de manera molt significativa als ports i les ciutats, els quals s'han hagut d'adaptar. El principal canvi té a veure amb l'augment de la mida dels vaixells per allotjar més passatgers i totes les activitats que es desenvolupen al seu interior. Per rebre aquest tipus de vaixells, els ports van haver d'adaptar la seva línia d'atracada, l'estació marítima, l'esplanada contigua i els accessos. Els creuers han anat augmentat de mida cada any fins a assolir a l'any 2009, els 360 m d'eslora i 222.900 GT d'arqueig brut. Davant d'aquest gigantisme dels vaixells, la present tesi pretén verificar i analitzar si aquest augment de la capacitat està justificat i es recolza en les economies d'escala. La gran capacitat en passatge d'aquests vaixells també comporta dificultats per gestionar la mobilitat dels creueristes, sobretot quan coincideixen més de dos creuers a la mateixa franja horària. Aleshores l'operació de desembarcament esdevé molt complexa, ja que tots els passatgers surten alhora i en un curt període de temps. En aquest sentit, la tesi analitza la mobilitat dels passatgers i estudia les principals variables que expliquen les operacions de desembarcament. Un altre aspecte important és l'impacte que tenen els creuers sobre el medi ambient. Per desplaçar els creuers a la velocitat de servei es requereix una gran quantitat de combustible. Això comporta l'emissió a l'atmosfera de gasos contaminants, principalment òxids de nitrogen, òxids de sofre, partícules en suspensió i gasos d'efecte hivernacle. Actualment, han sorgit moltes veus entre la població civil i les administracions públiques que rebutgen el turisme de creuers. Per aquest motiu, a l'any 2020, s'han creat noves normatives mediambientals més restrictives, limitant el contingut de sofre en els combustibles marins al 0,5%. Els armadors tenen diverses opcions per complir amb aquests requisits: utilitzar scrubbers juntament amb dispositius de reducció catalítica, utilitzar combustibles destil·lats i menys contaminants, la solució del cold ironing per connectar-se elèctricament als molls i obtenir energia o utilitzar el gas natural liquat (GNL) com a combustible alternatiu. La present tesi en aquest darrer bloc tracta d'esbrinar si el GNL pot ser l'opció més vàlida per a les companyies de creuers per mitigar les emissions al medi. El GNL elimina gairebé les emissions d'òxids i partícules de sofre. Pel que fa als òxids de nitrogen i el CO2, aquests es redueixen un 90% i un 20% respectivament. A més, el preu del GNL resulta gairebé la meitat que el fuel pesat, pel que el GNL també és atractiu econòmicament. La idea d'adoptar el GNL com a combustible per a creuers és força nova. Al món, existeixen molt pocs creuers adaptats a aquest sistema. Per tant, l'anàlisi i estudi de la seva viabilitat resulta molt aconsellable i pot servir a les companyies de creuers per decidir-se finalment en adoptar el GNL com a combustible majoritari per als seus creuers.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The increasing financial pressures exerted on ship owners in recent years due to cost inflation, overtonnage and low freight rates in many sectors, have forced ship owners to increase cost savings and contain costs. That induced certain shipowners to operate substandard ships. The cost advantages in substandard ships are through failing to maintain safety equipment and procedures, employing cheap and untrained crews, repairing only essential equipment on breakdown and register under flags that do not comply with all the international regulatory, economic and social requirements for ships. Those ships undercut the true costs of operating a ship and eventually drive the obedient shipowner out of the market at the cost of safe and clean seas. Because of the complex international environment in which shipping operates an international regulatory framework is needed to ensure safety at sea. This assignment gives a layout of that framework, which is co-ordinated by the International Maritime Organisation (!MO), as well as the ways in which it is implemented and regulated in individual countries, with reference to South Africa. The functioning of the South African Maritime Safety Agency (SAMSA), which has been established on 1 April 1998, is also discussed. The benefit of safe ports is highlighted and also the cost savings in marine insurance if ships are classified as safe. A brief description of the navigation instruments that SAMSA use to assist in achieving maritime safety is given. Finally, the diseconomies of substandard ships are debated against quality ships for cleaner seas.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die toenemende finansiële druk op skeepseienaars, as gevolg van koste inflasie, oortonnemaat en lae vragtariewe in verskeie sektore, het hulle gedwing om oor die laaste aantal jare hul kostes te beperk. Gedwonge kostebesparings gee aanleiding daartoe dat sekere skeepseienaars onveilige skepe bedryf. Kostevoordele in onveilige skepe word bereik deur veiligheidstoerusting en -prosedures nie in stand te hou nie, goedkoop en onopgeleide bemanning aan te stel, slegs die nodige herstelwerk aan toerusting te doen en deur te registreer onder vlae wat nie voldoen aan internasionale regulering, ekonomiese en sosiale vereistes vir skepe nie. Eienaars van sulke skepe, onderskruip die ware bedryfskoste van 'n skip en uiteindelik dryf dit die wetsgetroue skeepseienaars uit die mark ten koste van 'n veilige en skoon see. As gevolg van die komplekse internasionale omgewmg waann skeepvaart funksioneer, word 'n internasionale reguleringsraamwerk benodig om veiligheid ter see te verseker. Hierdie werkstuk gee 'n uitleg van daardie raamwerk, wat gekoordineer word deur die Internasionale Maritieme Organisasie (!MO), asook die manier waarop dit geïmplementeer en gereguleer word in individuele lande met verwysing tot Suid-Afrika. Die funksionering van die Suid-Afrikaanse Maritieme Veiligheids Agentskap (SAMSA), wat tot stand gebring is op 1 April 1998, word bespreek. Die voordele van veilige hawens word uitgelig, sowel as die besparings in maritieme versekeringskoste indien 'n skip as veilig geklassifiseer word. 'n Kort beskrywing van navigasie-instrumente wat SAMSA gebruik om maritieme veiligheid te bewerkstellig, word kortliks bespreek. Ten slotte, die dis-ekonomie van onveilige skepe word gedebateer teenoor die kwaliteit van skepe vir 'n skoner see.

Full textThe aim of this paper has been to investigate and problematize the roles of the flag state and the classification societies in regard to their maritime safety control function. Questions have been raised regarding what obligations flag states on one hand, and classification societies on the other hand, have regarding ship construction and ship safety. Furthermore, the paper has also addressed the question of what maritime safety-related effects may arise from the flag state delegating their duties to classification societies. To answer the questions, a qualitative document study has been conducted, with some elements of legal dogmatics in certain parts in order to find the current legal situation. The material for the document study has been selected by thorough research into literature and dissertations in the area. Therefore, the chosen material has been previously reviewed and gone through a selection process and was thus considered relevant for this paper. The result has shown that there is some overlap in the control function for both the flag state and the classification societies. Delegating obligations from the flag state to the classification societies is not necessarily problematic. However, delegation of the said duties can have negative effects on maritime safety in cases where the classification societies are not on par with the flag state or both parties lack an effective control apparatus to enforce high standards. Should delegation occur to a classification society that has a good control apparatus with high requirements, possible shortcomings that exist within the flag state, such as lack of resources and skills, can be remedied by the high standard performance of the classification society. Even though the system might seem satisfactorily at first glance, there is room for further research in the area in order to investigate how the existing problems can be managed and prevented in the future.

The freight, ship price, oil price, global economic and ship tonnage all fluctuate intensely in bulk shipping market these ten years. The factors have a complicated influence on the management of bulk shipping company. Despite the composition of company’s cost might be affected by the oil price and other factors, the cost of ships is still the most primary. This study conducts an analysis from the cost and revenue perspectives according to the literatures and recent structure of bulk shipping market to summarize the factors which bulk company may consider when building and hiring ships. Simultaneously, the research focuses on the ordinary ways of obtaining ships to understand their advantages and disadvantages. Then, the interview with the upper-level managers of Taiwan bulk shipping company is conducted to find out the importance of the factors to bulk company and the factors concerned in different ways. After inducting the opinion of experts, ship price, capital and financial situation may have an effect on the decision of building and hiring ships in bulk company. Although the company still has to notice the market trend as the direction of future operation, to maintain the good reputation and financial situation will keep the chance to enter the market immediately once the appropriate time emerged. Moreover, possessing the flexibility when building and hiring ships will decreases the cost and risk to acquire the ultimate profit.

In Today world, maritime transportation is increasing becoming an international mainstream business. Currently over 90% of global trade depends on maritime transport, but most of the merchant vessels use Heavy Fuel Oils (HFOs) for shipping propulsion, Subsequently causing a lot of environmental pollution. The contribution of ships to global emissions can be identify as follows in the following components: sulfur oxides(SOX), 12%;nitrogen oxides(NOX), 13%;carbon dioxide equivalent(CO2e), 2.8%. Liquefied natural gas (LNG), due to its environmental friendliness, safety and its fulfillment of the international emissions standards, has become the best choice for ships alternative fuel. The aim of this research is to analyze the five offshore ships that are currently operating in Taiwan and also to explore the environmental influences of using LNG alternative to traditional fuels by EPA and PLOA models, and further conduct a scenario analysis of SOX and NOX emissions of per ton-miles. The results show that LNG leads to a reduction of 90% of SOX emissions and 70% of NOX emissions and 10% of CO2 emissions in at least both modes. In the scenario analysis, the results show that in order to distinguish the type of route, then cross-strait routes should be a priority to promote LNG fuel and in order to distinguish the type of ship, then traditional vessels should be a priority to promote the LNG fuel. Key words: Heavy Fuel Oils (HFOs), sulfur oxides (SOX), Liquefied natural gas (LNG), offshore ships, the cross-strait routes

Full textThis thesis was aimed at developing a model of growth through diversification, for shipping agencies in South Africa, under recessionary conditions. The study adopted a mixed methods approach, in seeking to develop a methodology to meet the aims of the research project; to develop a framework of diversification strategies for the shipping industry. The mixing of quantitative data and qualitative data not only enriched the findings but assisted with validation thereof, while achieving the research aims through the methodology adopted. The theoretical foundation of the study was on the theories of diversification, the theory of human behaviour and other economic principle theories, all of which were sampled among South African corporate executives in the shipping supply chain. Surveys were carried out using two structured research instruments in the form of questionnaires to collect quantitative data, with qualitative data collected through interviews, focus groups and observation. The data were analysed using triangulation to combine the results of the investigation. Statistical analysis was employed for the quantitative research and results illustrated in tables, combined with thematic analysis through qualitative research, to draw conclusions and recommendations on the study. The findings confirmed that there are opportunities for diversification into husbandry services, freight transportation, charterers’ services and other markets along the supply chain. Reasons for diversification among shipping firms include similar resource utilisation to service many functions, diversification to gain market leadership and poor performance in existing markets. The theory is not conclusive about whether related or unrelated diversification affects firm performance. The development of operation Phakisa, to focus on unlocking the economic potential of South Africa’s oceans, has not been addressed and needs more research into its feasibility and likely impact on the South African container shipping industry. There is need for management to mobilise resources, such that they can serve many functions and activities, and to build competences through human resources management. The study is relevant for the shipping supply chain executive, as it contributes to managerial decision-making, in terms of analysing their capability to create and apply knowledge in their competitive strategies.

Development trends of container ships are in the direction of size, speed, specialization, and automation to realize economy of scale and to meet shipping service demand. In the meantime, shipping companies, port operators, and other shipping-related industries will face the impacts brought by the use of ultra large container ships. The study explores the effects and impacts on the shipping-related industries of utilizing ultra large container ships. The content of the questionnaire is based on the literature review and expert interviews. The target industries are divided into three groups by relevance, namely Group A (vessel carriers, container depot operators, stevedoring, container trailers), Group B (freight forwarders), and Group C (ports corporation). The data are analyzed using SPSS 18.0 statistical software. The main results of the analysis are: (1) Group A faces the biggest impact in related operations, especially in “the increase of machine usage.” (2) Group B has the biggest financial impacts overall. But Group A and Group C confront significantly “the increase in equipment investment.” (3) On the whole, Group A group has the biggest impacts in human resources. However, Group B has to deal with “the decrease in company''s service level.” (4) The overall effects and impacts in business aspect on all groups are not obvious. (5) Group A has the greatest effects and impacts in regulatory aspect, especially in “the need of port’s administrative efficiency to match service needs.” Through these findings, the shipping-related industries can take effective actions to meet the challenges brought by the usage of ultra large container ships.

Liner shipping, which carries approximately 25% in volume and 75% in world trade value, plays an important role in the economic development. To keep up with the growth of market as well as increase the economies of scale, shipping lines pay more attention to vessel size. The bigger, the better, and the more - these have become major popular terms in liner shipping industry over the last forty years. The bigger refers to container ship size, the better implies to increase the economy of scale to save operation costs. Naturally this thought has triggered the trend of ever-increasing vessel capacity, or in other words, the remarkable growth of vessel size. The maximum size was 4,300 TEUs in 1988, up to 7,100 TEUs in 1996, then 15,500 TEUs in 2006, and 18,000 TEUs in 2011 with the Maersk Line’s introduction of Triple E. None stopping at that point, some top shipping lines seem to be still dissatisfied with the achieved benefits from under 20,000 TEU container ships and would like to break the limits with the desire of building and operating 20,000+ TEU vessels. However, one question has been raised: Whether keep investing in containership size is a good strategy? This research will examine the indications of ultra large container ships’ cost efficiency. Although the amount of cost-savings of so-called ultra large container ships under 20,000 TEU is noticeable, such benefit is marginal for the 20000+ TEU category. Besides that, operating ULCS means liner shipping companies need to cope with two barriers including high vessel utilization rate and fewer calling ports. This research is based on empirical and statistical analysis.

Ocean carrier is responsible for providing seaworthy ships to carry on it's liability under the contract of sea transportation. In accordance with the British case law jurisprudence in the past, the ocean carrier should take full responsibility for the cargo carrying by it's seaworthy vessels. While the American Harter Act and thereafter international maritime convention, the Hague Rule , in the 20th century reinterprets the carrier's responsibility from the full care responsibility to the responsibility of relative careness. The ocean carrier after fulfilling its relative responsibility so as able to exempt from the liability of the cargo damage or loss during the ocean transportation. According to the code of Taiwan Maritime Law, Article 62, on the requirements of sailing and operation : the carrier or the ship owner shall be bound, before and at the time of the commencement of the voyage, to exercise due diligence to ; 1.make the ship be capable of navigating safety. 2. proper man, equip and supply the ship. 3. make the holds, refrigeration and cooling chambers, and all other parts of ship used to carry the cargo, fit and safe for reception, carriage and preservation .The carrier is not liable for the damage or loss resulting from an unexpectable loss of capability for the navigation of the ship after sailing. The burden of proof shall be on the carrier or the ship owner claiming exemption provided in the preceding paragraph. According to the code of this Law, the ocean carrier or the ship owner shall provide the proof of claiming for decreasing or exempting its liability, otherwise, the ocean carrier shall not be able to claim for decreasing or exempting and limited its liability. To solve the various problems and disputes, the International Safety Management Code (ISM)has been implementing globally. In the real practice ,the purpose of establishing the ISM is to set a lowest standard of preventing pollution. Now, the ISM has developed to be a mandatory rule that is crucially impacted on the judgement of the seaworthy ships. The purpose of this article will focus on the impact of this code against the ocean transportation community. Furthermore, according to the report from the Institute of Transportation, MOTC which studied the accidents at the domestic ocean transportation in recent years, the accidents will be decreased in case it is under the critical ISM practice, this could prove the effectiveness of the ISM implementation.

Web-based and paper-based questionnaire was used to investigate the safety cognition and perception of safety equipment, cabin openness, and crew interaction. Based on factor analysis, six dimensions are identified as safety equipment, operation safety, safety knowledge, rules compliance, surroundings cleanness, and own rights. This study used statistical methods to find out whether there are any differences in safety perception and safety cognition, and multiple regression analysis to survey the relationship among respondent backgrounds, safety perception, and safety cognition. The findings indicated that the safety perception of passengers is significantly influenced by different levels of safety equipment, of cabin openness, and of crew interaction. Overall, male respondents have higher safety perception of boarding ladder than female respondents. Paper-based questionnaire respondents have higher safety perception of boarding ladder than web-based questionnaire respondents. Female respondents have lower safety cognition of safety equipment and safety knowledge than male respondents. The respondents of lower educational levels have higher safety cognition of operation safety and own rights than those with high educational level. More experiences of shipping bears higher level safety cognition of safety knowledge. Tourists have higher safety cognition of operation safety, safety knowledge, and own rights than others. Paper-based questionnaire respondents have higher level safety cognition of safety knowledge and own rights than web-based questionnaire respondents. The safety cognition of passengers differs by the ways of safety publicity. The passengers can learn easily from on-site personnel demonstration, resulting that the passengers have higher level of safety cognition. Passengers bear low level of safety cognition of operation safety as it is related to sailing situation. Finally, for future reference to the safety policy modification, the results of this study could be applied to improve the ship structure, safety equipment, and safety regulations.

These analyses also showed that sporadic episodes of sudden, high mortality occurred in association with hot and humid conditions in Middle Eastern waters. Heat stress was the presumptive diagnosis. While the occurrences were rare, they accounted for 9% of all deaths.
Observational studies undertaken on 8 research voyages with sheep to the Middle East showed that two other causes of death – an inanition syndrome and salmonellosis – accounted for the majority of all mortalities. Together, these two conditions caused around three quarters of all deaths.
The following risk factors associated with these two major diseases were identified: poor feeding behaviour in the assembly feedlot; physiologic stress at the point of arrival of sheep at the feedlot; and the physical location of sheep on board ships, whereby sheep in the upper tier of pens on every deck of a ship suffered substantially higher mortality rates than those in the lower tier.
Specific studies on the inanition syndrome showed that affected sheep were persistent poor consumers of the pelleted shipboard ration. A problem of severe weight loss was detected in an additional 5% of sheep, which appeared to be associated with inanition. Sheep with the syndrome still had an appetite for familiar food such as hay. An hypothesis was developed that the syndrome may be caused by the failure of affected sheep to recognise or accept the pelleted ration as food.
The epidemiology of salmonellosis outbreaks in the live sheep trade was elucidated. The outbreaks occurred as rise and fall epidemics starting with a large increase in faecal salmonella excretion from sheep immediately after their arrival in the assembly feedlot near the port of embarkation. Epidemics of mortalities from salmonellosis peaked one to two weeks later, then declined before the voyage was completed. Evidence was obtained that salmonella infections persisted in the feedlot environment between consecutive batches of sheep initiating new epidemics in subsequent consignments.
The differences in shipboard mortality rates between upper and lower tier pens (the “tier’ effect) was investigated with observational studies and a major field trial. An hypothesis that the effect was caused by higher light intensity in upper tier pens was tested and rejected. A remaining hypothesis is that the sheep’s fear of elevation in upper tier pens may be the cause.
Overall, the research has advanced knowledge substantially on animal health in the live sheep trade. The findings will influence the debate on animal welfare in the trade, they will be of practical use to the industry, and they have focussed research direction for the future.
