A Conceptual Plan For The Provision Of Reception Facilities In The Philippines, Elson Estioko Hermogino
A Conceptual Plan For The Provision Of Reception Facilities In The Philippines, Elson Estioko Hermogino
World Maritime University Dissertations
This dissertation synthesizes a conceptual plan for the provision of reception facilities to improve marine environmental protection in the Philippines. The study is premised on the perception that the various pollution control measures formulated by the Philippine Coast Guard, which are mandated to address ship source pollution, are not being implemented due to the absence or severe inadequacy of the needed reception facilities in ports. The extent of maritime activities is presented while the various legislation, rules and regulations adopted by the Government concerning marine environmental protection in general, and the provision of reception facilities in particular, are examined. In …

Understanding And Coping With Oil Pollution Threats In Bahrain, Hassan Ali Al-Majid
World Maritime University Dissertations
As the human population increases and industrialization expands and diversifies, the problem of the pollution of the environment becomes more critical. The seas and oceans, which cover over 70 % of the world's surface and offer one of man’s great hopes for future food supplies, are not exempt from the menace of pollution. Pollution problems mount as use of the sea for commerce grows with the ever increasing size and variety of cargo ships and tankers, with the use of the sea-bed for mineral extraction and the threat of oil pollution to the marine environment from deliberate or accidental release. …

On Board [Onboard] Communication Problems Due To The Lack Of A Common Language, Miguel Enrique Clements
On Board [Onboard] Communication Problems Due To The Lack Of A Common Language, Miguel Enrique Clements
World Maritime University Dissertations
On board communication problems due to language barriers have been affecting maritime safety during the past years. This problem is found on board ships having multilingual crews and a lack of a common language. It increases during emergency situations when people must react as fast as possible under conditions of extreme pressure. In the special case of passenger ships the lack of a common language can make emergency situations become critical. Reviewing the “Scandinavian Star" disaster. examples of on board communication problems because of failures in the use of the English language can be clearly found. After the Flag of …
Satellite Applications As An Ocean And Coastal Zone Management Tool : Three Case Studies, Federico Agustin Iriarte Ahon
Satellite Applications As An Ocean And Coastal Zone Management Tool : Three Case Studies, Federico Agustin Iriarte Ahon
World Maritime University Dissertations
Satellite applications are being used in land, sea, air and space studies and management applications in the sea covering a wide spectrum of fields, such as oceanography (bathymetry, tides, waves, sea level, currents, surface water temperature), fisheries (resources distribution and monitoring of fisheries), shipping (fleet monitoring, communication, safety and rescue, pollution detection and monitoring), and navy (security, strategy, safety). Further, satellites can be used in the process of educating people onboard. The present research is a study of three satellite applications for Ocean and Coastal Zone Management (OCZM). Radar sensors which are used in bathymetric exploration are useful in the …

However, all of these issues are a part of this dissertation and they have contributed to the refinement of this research effort. …
Proposals For Further Improvement Of Sea Transportation Of Dangerous Cargoes Carried In Freight Containers In China, Cuiming Xu
World Maritime University Dissertations
With the rapid development of foreign trade there has been a high rate of growth in the maritime transportation of dangerous cargoes. The transport by sea of dangerous cargoes incorporates, by nature, a higher risk than the shipment of non-hazardous cargoes. Safety is one of the most important aspects which must be seriously considered by the appointed specialised competent authorities. Therefore, the safe transport by sea of dangerous cargoes is regarded as one of the major objectives by the Maritime Safety Administration. This paper is a study of safe transport by sea of dangerous cargoes in freight containers. It briefly …

It is believed that it will bring about a greater impact on maritime administrations, shipping companies and maritime education and training (MET) institutions in particular. It is universally recognized that MET …
A Study For Upgrading The Vessel Traffic Services [Vts] In Korean Coastal Waters, Hyung-Taek Jung
A Study For Upgrading The Vessel Traffic Services [Vts] In Korean Coastal Waters, Hyung-Taek Jung
World Maritime University Dissertations
The rapid growth of marine traffic volume in the Korean waters has created difficulties in navigation, and increased the risk in those areas during the last three decades. In addition to the traffic volume increase, ship’s higher speed tendency and larger size tendency lead to more frequent and bigger casualties occurring in those areas. Various measures have been taken to improve navigation safety in those areas such as, aids to navigation, vessel movement reporting systems, traffic separation schemes, and the radar surveillance systems in some port areas also. However, casualties occurred in those areas has not decreased. They are still …

Although pollution of the sea comes from various sources, that which comes from marine transportation is given more attention because of its potential threat to the marine environment. Many of the international regulations relating to marine pollution prevention are the outcome of maritime accidents which have caused extensive oil spills. Legislation has been concerned with new designs, structure and equipment. …

Integrated Management Strategy For The Coastal Development Program Of Jiangsu Province, Meifeng Luo
Integrated Management Strategy For The Coastal Development Program Of Jiangsu Province, Meifeng Luo
World Maritime University Dissertations
The development in the coastal area of Jiangsu Province is still managed on a sectoral basis. This low level management method causes huge wastes of natural resources, fosters intense competition between different sectors for limited natural resources and space, and results in conflicts between different interests groups, over exploitation and even depletion of natural resources, environmental pollution and ecosystem degradation. With the development of the national economy, the coastal development activities will be greater in number and broader in scope. There will be more conflicts between different sectors, between exploitation and resources conservation, between development and environment protection. Thus, to …
