26.ship wreck
Many people are very fascinated with ship wrecks. We are lured to shipwrecks by the dream and romance of diving for buried treasure. I think everyone, at one time or another, has dreamed of diving for buried treasure; the big adventure that intrigued and romanced us all.I must admit that I do not know a whole lot about ship wrecks but I am very fascinated with them. When doing a search on the net, typing in "Ship Wrecks" does not return many hits. Most of the hits that it does return are more for scuba diving than anything else.
Now let us try typing in "Marine archeology." Wow!!! over 250 hits. But it does not stop there. What type of ship wreck are you looking for. . . Tall ships, military ships, cargo ships, steam ships, civil war ships, paddle ships, Spanish galleons? In what region of the world?
I have prepared a list of links that I hope will keep you interested and fuel your childhood memories once again. A friend of mine is an aviation buff. So just for him I have added a page on planes wrecked at sea. Click here to jump to that page now.I must encourage all readers to remember that the Internet is not regulated so read with a critical eye, know who wrote the article or is providing the information. As always your local library has a wealth of information and best of all it is free.
25.ship insurance
Insurance sufficient to pay for potential pollution clean up, salvage and wreck removal.
The insurance policy must meet the following requirements:
All recreational ships more than 15 m but less than 35 m in length must have an insurance policy that provides A$250,000 for pollution clean up and A$10,000,000 for salvage and wreck removal.
All commercial ships more than 15 m but less than 35 m in length must have an insurance policy that provides A$500,000 for pollution clean up costs and A$10,000,000 for salvage and wreck removal.
All ships 35 m or more in length must have a policy that provides A$10,000,000 for pollution clean up costs, salvage and wreck removal.
Ships visiting
A current certificate of insurance must be carried onboard and be available for inspection by compliance officers. Penalties apply for non-compliance.
For those ships which cannot reasonably obtain insurance, the ship owner may be able to seek an exemption to the insurance requirement. In such cases the ship owner
24.cruise ship
one cruise ship, built years ago, but still keeping the spirit of passengers’ vessels with all luxury and dissipating atmosphere. The ship has length of 261.00 meters and a beam of 33.54 meters. The cruise ship is pretty large and offers a lot of space for the public areas for the passengers. The draft of the vessel is 7.60 meters, which is giving to the ship deadweight of 70,367 metric tons. This ship is pretty large and can be compared with really big vessels, but the capacity for passengers on board of Carnival Fascination is really amazingly low – only 2,052 guests, who are served by 968 crew members. The ship offers luxury interior, which is collecting different styles of modern art. The lobby gives a feeling for infinity and fascination, which is exactly the purpose for the ship to be named like this. Carnival Fascination has is really interesting with interior but one ship should have strong engine, which should gives enough power to the ship to reach high speed. The main engines of the cruise ship Carnival Fascination are two Sulzer – Wartsila 8ZAV40S and four Sulzer – Wartsila 12ZAV40S all collecting power of 42,240 kW, which is enough not only for the speed, but also for the whole equipment on board, which is fact is pretty much.
23.oil tanker
Tankers are a relatively new concept, dating from the later years of the 19th century. Before this, technology had simply not supported the idea of carrying bulk liquids. The market was also not geared towards transporting or selling cargo in bulk, therefore most ships carried a wide range of different products in different holds and traded outside fixed routes. Liquids were usually loaded in casks - hence the term "ton", which refers to the volume of the holds in terms of the amount of tun of wine (casks) that could be carried. Even potable water, vital for the survival of the crew, was stowed in casks. Carrying bulk liquids in earlier ships posed several problems:
- The holds: on timber ships the holds were not sufficiently water, oil or air-tight to prevent a liquid cargo from spoiling or leaking. The development of steel and iron hulls solved this problem.
- Loading and Discharging: Bulk liquids must be pumped - the development of efficient pumps and piping systems was vital to the development of the tanker. Steam engines were developed as prime-movers for early pumping systems. Dedicated cargo handling facilities were now required ashore too - as was a market for receiving a product in that quantity. Casks could be unloaded using ordinary cranes, and the awkward nature of the casks meant that the volume of liquid was always relatively small - therefore keeping the market more stabl
22.Gas carrier
The newest LNG Carrier with membrane type built by the famous shipbuilder Imabari. The vessel has a cargo capacity of 154,900 cubic meters The vessel was built into the ship-yard of Koyo Dockyard and the owner of the beautiful LNG Carrier is Trinity Transport S.A. Trinity Arrow has a deadweight of 79,556 metric tons and gross tonnage of 108,010 metric tons. The overall length of the vessel is 289.93 meters and the length between perpendiculars is 276 meters. The other measurements of the vessel Trinity Arrow are beam of 44.70 meters, draught of 26.00 meters and draft, while fully loaded of 12.07 meters. On board of this LNG Carrier is installed main engine KAWASAKI UA400, which is giving to the vessel full power
21.large ships
The ship dimensions, such as the ship breadth, depend on the number of containers placed abreast on deck and in the holds. Thus, one extra container box abreast in a given ship design involves an increased ship breadth of about 2.8 meters. The average loaded container weighs about 10-12 tons but, of course, this may vary, so the modern container vessels are dimensioned for 12-14 dwt per TEU. Containership capacity is normally expressed in Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEU), which is defined as the number of 20' x 8' x 8'6" containers it can carry; or, similarly, in Forty-foot Equivalent Units. Containerships vary considerably in size. Some of those serving major ports have capacities exceeding 5,000 TEU. Some recently built for feeder service (i.e., serving small outports from a major port) have capacities of 400 TEU or less. The delivery in 1980 of the 4,100 teu Neptune Garnet was the largest container ship to date. Deliveries had now reached a level of 60-70 ships per year and, with some minor fluctuations, it stayed at this level until 1994, which saw the delivery of 143 ships. With the American New York, delivered in 1984, container ship size passed 4,600 teu. For the next 12 years, the max. container ship size was 4,500-5,000 teu (mainly because of the limitation on breadth and length imposed by the
