Why invest in pollution prevention if ports and governments force ships to pollute anyway?
AuthorsG Peet
Date published1997
AbstractThe findings of the 1993 GESAMP report concerning the estimated quantity of oil annually entering the marine environment from various natural and industrial sources particularly shipping are presented and compared with those of previous reports (19901985 1975). Critical discussion pays particular attention to apparent improvements in the environmental performance of ships with regard to operational discharges: special mention is made of the practice of continuously upgrading operational performance on tankers the progress of technical innovation in the world's tanker fleet and inadequate port reception facilities for ship generated residues and wastes. The potential for governments port authorities enforcement agencies and tanker operators to further improve the environmental impact of ships is considered.

High capacity electrical systems on ships
AuthorsA Wangerin
PublisherIMarE Conferences and Symposia
AbstractTechnical and developmental aspects of high capacity electrical systems for ships discussed with illustrative examples of dc installations (mostly prior 1950) low voltage three phase systems and medium voltage systems. The concept of `high capacity' expected loads especially in large ships costs economic and choice of system are considered.

Material selection and structure design in high-speed aluminium alloy ships
AuthorsChen quan Wang ; Yinbo Liao
Date published2006
AbstractHigh-speed ships have been developing quickly over the past few years. Meanwhile there have also been advances in the types of aluminium alloy material available. The use of aluminium alloy in ships is discussed and the advantages of ribbed aluminium sheets are analysed. Some structural design questions are also discussed. Conclusions are drawn.

Problems of fire control on board ships
AuthorsH D Taylor ; P M Pucill
Date published1982
AbstractThe significant loss of ships through fire in the period 1976-1980 coupled with the trend towards larger ships bigger engine rooms more cargo smaller crews and hazardous cargos give cause for concern. The predominance of engine room fires leading to loss of ship is especially discussed and causes detection systems siting and alarms and extinguishing equipment are described.
