Fatigue Reliability of Ship Hull Girder
Based on estimates on uncertainties in wave loading and fatigue capacity the fatigue reliability of ship hull girder is calculated with respect to global vertical wave bending moment....
Environmental Impacts of Arctic Marine Transportation: Addressing the Issues through Research and the Provision of Advice
The prospect of numerous transits of the Canadian Northwest Passage and other northern waters by icebreaking tankers raises various environmental issues. This paper reviews the growth...
Safety Improvement Planning of Port and Harbour Facilities Considering Captains' Refuge Action Criteria
Since the Jane Typhoon in 1950, which induced much damages on port and harbour facilities and the ships in the ports, it has been a custom in Japan that the large-sized ships take refuge...
Navigation Problems in Upper Cook Inlet, Alaska
The Alaska District, Corps of Engineers and the Waterways Experiment Station are investigating navigation problems including tidal currents, sedimentation, and regional transportation...
Analysis of Berth Operability by Utilization of Agitation Models
Agitation models are utilized in order to predict the operability of berths for ship unloading purposes. Usually, in such models all ship displacements are measured and when one of them...
Analytical Method of Ship Motions Moored to Quay Walls and Application to Port Planning
This paper describes an analytical method to calculate ship motions moored to quay walls and application of the method in order to establish the port planning method in taking account...
Implementation of Annex II to Marpol 73/78 and the Impact on Reducing Pollution in the Coastal Zone
Implementation of the International Treaty for the Prevention of Marine Pollution from Ships 1973, as amended by the Protocol Related Thereto, 1978 (MARPOL 73/78) will help to reduce the...
New Concepts in Cooperative Fisheries Programs
Coordinated through the National Marine Fisheries Service, these programs serve eight coastal states, two commonwealths, three fishery management councils, two interstate commissions,...
Oil Pollution in Suexz Gulf of the Red Sea
The population along the Red Sea coast is small, but this sea is now one of the most important areas in the world, for it is the route for ships using the Suez Canal. Many vessels transit...
Design of Waste Containment Structures
Synthetic liners, also known as flexible membrane liners (FMLs), have been used increasingly since the early 1970s to contain chemical and hazardous wastes because of their low permeability...
Chemical Effects on Clay Hydraulic Conductivity
Hydraulic conductivity and its susceptibility to changes with time or exposure to chemicals are major factors in selection of clay for use in waste containment barriers. Available concepts...
Vertical Barriers in Soil for Pollution Containment
Vertical barriers have evolved over the past fifteen years into a technique that is widely applied to restrict the underground movement of liquid wastes and polluted groundwater. Most...
Motion Analysis of a Berthed Container Ship in Frequency and Time Domains
Membrane Supertankers and Floating Storage Vessels
Design of Bridge Piers Against Ship Collision
Design rules for unprotected bridge piers, using uniform safety requirements, are proposed. The selection of an appropriate design vessel is based on a risk assessment model which uses...
Sunshine Skyway Ship Collision Criteria
The 'new' crossing of Sunshine Skyway was born, not only to replace the previous crossings and improve the regional economy but also with increased clearances...
Thickened Slurry Disposal Method for Process Tailings
Common practice in the disposal of process tailings consists of impounding the wastes as thin slurries or suspensions in diked containment areas. Such a procedure poses problems relating...
New Tools for Economic Evaluation of Channel Deepening Projects
The Institute for Water Resources has developed a data base to facilitate economic evaluation of channel deepening projects. After extensive research, data elements were selected from...
A Simulation/Animation of an Inland Railway Container Terminal
The Container Terminal Model (CTM) comprises a batch computer simulation model and interactive graphics animation package. The model has been developed to aid engineers and transportation...
