MARITIME TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT

1. MARITIME TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT THE SHIPS

2. THE SHIPS There are two main parts to a ship; • The Hull: Actual shell, body of the ship • The Machinery: Includes both machinery to drive her and ancillary equipment serving the electrical installations, winches and refrigerated accommodation. http://www.maerskline.com/tr-tr/countries/int/news/news-articles/2013/10/discovery-channel-triple-e

7. THE HULL • The rear portion of the ship is termed aft, and the extreme rear end is called the stern. When moving stern first, the vessel is regarded as moving astern. • The front portion of the ship is termed for-ward, whilst the extreme forvard end is called the bows. When moving bows first, the vessel is regarded as moving ahead. • Fore and aft are related terms, and often mean the same as bows and stern. • The area between the forward and aft portions of the vessel is called amidships (midships). The overall breadth of the vessel, which is found in the amidship portion, is known as the beam.

10. The propeller shaft, linking the propeller with the engines, passes through a shaft tunnel. • The ship's anchors and the windlasses used to lower and raise them are found in the bows. • Ship’s actual design and the number of decks will depend on the trade in which she plies. • A tramp, carrying shipments of coal or ore, will be a single deck vessel with large unobstructed hatches to facilitate loading and discharge. • A cargo liner, conveying a variety of cargo in relatively small consignments, would have 'tween decks’ to facilitate stowage.

13. THE MACHINERY • A Diesel engine is a form of internal-combustion engine, in which combustion of the fuel takes place inside the engine. • The air in the cylinder is compressed to a high pressure so that it attains a high temperature and when oil-fuel is injected, it immediately ignites. • The power thereby produced is transmitted through a gearbox or dircctly to the propeller-shaft and is described in terms Brake Horse Power,‘BHP’. • Steam:Some larger ships are propelled by steam plant;machinery which converts the heat energy in steam into mechanical energy to turn the propeller shaft. • Marine steam plants can be divided into; 1)Steam Reciprocaling Engines 2)Steam Turbines 3) A combination of 1 & 2 4)Turbo-electric.

15. OtherPropulsionForms: Bunker Fuels: • Virtually all merchant ships rely on oil-fuel for both steam-turbine and fordiesel-engined plants, oil having the advantageover coal in thal it is both readily and widely available, as well as being relatively easy to handle, store, and move about on board. • Oil-fuel is a derivative of crude-oil wlıichhas been proccssed into distillateand residual fuel-oil. • Scales are used to deseribe the various grades and qualities of marine fuel-oils available.

16. Loadline • The draft of a vessel is the depth necessary to submerge her to her loadline. • The loadline varies according to the seasons and waters in which she plies. • The seasons to which the markings apply are Tropical (T), Summer (S), Winter (W) and Winter North Atlantic (W.N.A.) The world has been mapped off into sections showing where those sections apply. • Freeboard is the distance measured amidships from the loadline to the actual freeboard deck of a vessel. • This is the main deck in a single 'tween deck’ vessel and top continuous deck in a ship with two or more decks.

19. TYPES AND METHODS OF TONNAGE MEASUREMENT • Deadweight tonnage (d.w.t.) expresses the number of tons (of 2240 pounds) a vessel can transport of cargo, stores and bunker fuel. • It is the difference between the number of tons of water a vessel displaces 'light' and the number of tons it displaces when submerged to her loadline. • Deadweight tonnage is used interchangeably with deadweight carrying capacity. A vessel's capacity for weight cargo is less than its total dead-weight tonnage.

20. TYPES AND METHODS OF TONNAGE MEASUREMENT • Cargo tonnage is a weight or measurement (W/M). • The weight ton in the US and in UK countries is the American short ton of 2000 pounds, or the English long ton of 2240 pounds. • A measurement ton is usually 40 cubic feet, but in some instances a larger number of cubic feet is taken for a ton. • Most ocean package freight is taken at weight or measurement (W/M) ship's option.The metric ton of 1000 kg., or cubic metre is becoming more widely used.

22. Displacement of a vessel is the weight in tons of 2240 pounds of the ship and its contents. • It is the weight of water the ship displaces. • Displacement light is the weight of the vessel with out stores, bunker fuel, or cargo. • Displacement loaded is the weight of the vessel plus cargo, passengers, fuel and stores. • Gross tonnage applies to vessels, not to cargo. • It is determined by dividing by 100 the contents in cubic feet of the vessel's closed-in spaces, and is usually referred to as the gross registered tonnage (G.R.T.). • A vessel ton is 100 cubic feet. it is used as a basis for Pilotage and Dry Dock, and sometimes Tonnage Dues. • Additionally, it is employed for statistical purposes, when comparing ship sizes, and as a basis for Protection and Indemnity club entries.

23. Net tonnage is a vessel's gross tonnage less deductions of space occupied by accommodation for crew, machinery, fuel, stores and other accommodation which does not represent earning capacity of the ship. • A vessel's net tonnage expresses the space available for the accommodation of passengers and stowage of cargo, and is usually referred to as net registered tonnage (N.R.T.). • A ton of cargo in most instances occupies less than 100 cubic feet: hence the vessel's cargo tonnage may exceed its net tonnage, and indeed the tonnage of cargo carried is usually greater than the gross tonnage. • It is the cubic capacity of all earning space, and it is on this tonnage figure that most harbour dues and other charges are calculated. The aim of the average shipowner is to achieve a low net tonnage consistent with a maximum cubic capacity for cargo and/or passengers.

24. TYPES OF SHIPS Thetype of merchantvesselemployed on a traderoute is determinedbasicallybythetrafficcarried. • General CargoShips • BulkCarrier • ContainerShips • RO/RO • Heavy Lift • Tanker • CombinationCarrier • GasCarrier • PassangerShip • Off-ShoreandTowage • Coaster • MiscellaneousShips

25. General Cargo Ship Carry packaged items like food, furniture,machinery Tweendeckers; with two or more decks Carry bulk cargo in lower holds, palletised or baled goods in the tweens.

27. Refrigerated Ships Reefer ships are cargo ships typically used to transport perishable commodities which require temperature-controlled transportation, mostly fruits, meat, fish, vegetables and other foodstuffs.

28. Bulk Ship Bulk carriers used to transport bulk cargo items such as ore, rice,cement,lumber& paper products sugar and etc. Large box-like hatches on its deck, designed to slide outboard for loading.

30. Container Ship Container ships are cargo ships that carry their entire load in truck-size containers. Inter-modal shipment Informally known as "box boats" Carry the majority of the world's dry cargo.

32. Barge • A barge is a flat-bottomed boat, built mainly for river and canal transport of heavy goods. • Most barges are not self-propelled and need to be moved by tugboats towing or towboats pushing them.

33. Roll-on/roll-off ships Roll-on/roll-off ships is designed to carry wheeled cargo such as automobiles and trailers. RORO vessels have built-in ramps which allow the cargo to be efficiently "rolled on" and "rolled off" the vessel when in port.

36. Ferries • Ferries are a form of transport, usually a boat or ship carrying passengers and sometimes their vehicles. • Ferries are also used to transport freight and even railroad cars. • Most ferries operate on regular, frequent, return services. • A foot-passenger ferry with many stops, such as in Penang, is sometimes called a waterbus or water taxi.

37. Heavy Lift (LO/LO) ships • Semi-submerging are more commonly known as a "flo/flo" for float-on/float-off. • These vessels have a long and low well deck between a forward pilot house and an aft machinery space. • Can carry oil platforms, damaged ships etc.

39. Tanker Ship Tankers are cargo ships for the transport of fluids, such as crude oil, petroleum products, vegetable oils and other food The tanker sector comprises one third of the world tonnage.

40. Tanker sizes; • Ultra Large Crude Carrier • Very Large Crude Carrier • Medium Sized Crude Carrier • Handy-size • Aframax • Panamax • Medium Range Cross Purpose

42. Combination Carrier Also known as an Ore-bulk-oil carrier or OBO. Ship designed to be capable of carrying wet or dry cargoes The idea is to reduce the number of empty (ballast) voyages, in which large ships only carry a cargo one way and return empty for another.

44. Gas Carrier • Carriers commodities; • LNG • LPG

46. Cruise Ship Cruise ships are passenger ships used for pleasure voyages, where the voyage itself and the ship's amenities are considered an essential part of the experience. Cruising has become a major part of the tourism industry, with millions of passengers each year.

47. Tug Boat A tugboat is a boat used for towing or pushing other vessels in harbours, over the open sea or through rivers and canals. Also used to tow barges, disabled ships, or other equipment like towboats.

48. Dredger A dredger is a ship used to excavate in shallow seas or fresh water areas with the purpose of gathering up bottom sediments and disposing of them at a different location.

49. Multi-purpose ship • A Multi-purpose ship (sometimes called a general cargo ship) is used to transport a variety of goods from bulk commodities to break bulk and heavy cargoes. • To provide maximum trading flexibility they are usually geared and modern examples are fitted for the carriage of containers and grains.
