...Philippines INTERNATIONAL SHIP AND PORT FACILITY SECURTIY CODE In partial fulfillment of the Case Study and presentation for: Issues and problems in the Maritime Industry being addressed by ISPS Sunken Ships Submitted to: ENS. GRACIANO C. CONSORIO PCG (Ret) Instructor Submitted by: Group Number 2 I. Introduction The sea is a large body of salt water that is surrounded in whole or in part by land. More broadly, the sea is the interconnected system of Earth's salty, oceanic waters—considered as one global ocean or as several principal oceanic divisions. Moreover, it has served as a home for marine and aquatic environment and also as defined roads for marine transportation in the conduct of trade and civilization. In spite of the glorious facts accounted, the sea was also the venue and sole witness of such tragedies, catastrophes known as maritime incidents. By definition, maritime incident means any occurrence, other than an accident, that is associated with the operation of a ship and effects or could affect the safety of operation. From the initiation of transport at sea up to the present, tremendous accounts of maritime incidents can be noted and such incidents lead to countless loss of lives, property, and the environment. With these adverse effects at hand, major approaches can further explain the importance of such incidents. From a historical approach, the first transport at sea was accounted as trade using small wooden boats which later grew to ships and other vessels...

...Canada due to accidents at sea, one which was caused by a hydraulic door. To that end, this paper will focus on preventing injury and death caused by hydraulically operated doors and hatches that operate either manually or automatically. A vessel is divided by watertight bulkheads to survive flooding, following a collision or grounding. The more watertight bulkheads there are, the safer the ship is against capsizing and sinking. However, a high number of bulkheads may restrict the use of spaces on board and make it hard for the crew to move between the divided spaces. So, watertight doors are fitted in between bulkheads which should be watertight. Doors can usually be closed from the bridge, or other control room, for the purpose of saving the ship, and can also be opened and closed locally, allowing personnel to pass through, as well as to escape in an emergency. Saving the ship has priority, so usually the bridge can take control of all doors to close them. There are many different regulations pertaining to the operation of these doors depending on the class, and type, of ship it is. However, there is no all encompassing safety regulation to prevent injury or death due to accidental door closure. The Canada Shipping act has some regulations pertaining to...

...“International Apparel Planning and Sourcing” Stacy Smith Introduction to Material Handling There are several phases to completing the logistic cycle of international planning and sourcing in the apparel industry. Organizations have a better chance of succeeding when they develop a relationship with a freight forwarder, establish manufacturing facilities, create a design cycle, and maintain a level of customer service. It’s a very complicated process and the company is always forecasting what they want to be doing next year at this time. The first step in logistic planning is to develop a relationship with a freight forwarding company like Ceva, Expeditor’s, or UPS. It is a very important decision choosing which company one should partner with to move your freight. We’re talking international freight from the Eastern Hemisphere which is where most of the manufacturing is being done. An organization can set it up for any hemisphere, but that is where most goods are manufactured. This is the Asian block – China, India, Vietnam, Korea and Japan. Different freight forwarders will have shipping lanes they manage and where they’ve partnered with airlines, like Korean or British Airways, American Airlines rates are set based on the current cost of fuel surcharges, generally charged by weight and box size. Organizations have to determine an optimal box size to use when going to the air. Freight forwarders exist because they bring many customers together; shipping freight...

...implementing an E-auction Development Program. Through the EDP, it would determine products suited for an e-auction. Brandt now will have to determine the necessary steps to conduct a successful auction and the impact it will have on the suppliers and their relationships. Snedeker Global Cruises was incorporated in 1986, based in Miami, serves the contemporary and premium segments of the cruise vacation. Their cruise company has 35 cruise ships and over 70,000 berths, offering a variety of itineraries to Hawaii, Alaska, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America and New Zealand. SGC continuously aspires to reduce their procurement costs in sourcing the products and services needed for the cruise ships operations. In the past, each cruise ship would individually make its own purchases for the upcoming season. By 2005, they incurred its highest procurement costs. SGC wanted to combat this trend and one of the first adjustments was to move towards a centralized purchasing, where one department would be in charge of all purchases for all ships. The centralized purchasing strategy would purse reducing costs via e-auctions. Problem The centralized purchasing strategy proved to greatly reduce the overall order costs of the company and provided cost-saving opportunities for the company. One of these opportunities would be E-auctions, but senior management were concerned about the impact on quality and the effect it would have on their suppliers. The purchasing cycle for SGC...

...Proceedings of MARTEC 2010 The International Conference on Marine Technology 11-12 December 2010, BUET, Dhaka, Bangladesh STUDY ON SOME COMPETITIVE PARAMETERS FOR SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY IN BANGLADESH N. M. Golam Zakaria, M.M. Rahaman and Kh. Akhter Hossain Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh gzakaria@name.buet.ac.bd ABSTRACT Despite Bangladesh has glorious history & heritage as a shipbuilding nation since ancient time, shipbuilding has been in focus only from the last couple of years. The optimism about this industry arose from the success attained by a number of local entrepreneurs who brought the name and fame to Bangladesh as a country with great potentials in shipbuilding by building and handing over some ocean-going vessels to overseas buyers. Since then, the shipbuilding in Bangladesh did not have to look back and now new opportunities are knocking at the door to flourish this industry further. However, due to global nature of this industry, an assessment of suitability to modern shipbuilding in terms of global standard is of prime importance. This paper focuses on studying some crucial competitive factors like labour skill, labour availability, labour man-hour, labour cost & productivity for local shipbuilding which are the inherent part for expansion of this industry. The analysis also focuses on the existing access to the resources like materials, knowledge and capital for shipbuilding...

Qualifiers and Winners Shipping industry plays a major role in supply chain. Major companies like Maersk operate an integrated system where they operate own ships and outsource trucks to deliver containers basically to the client’s door. This sets it apart from ‘the crowd’. Shipping is a very efficient mode of transportation but very slow. Safmarine, a subsidiary of Maesrk, embarked on renewal of fleet. A modern fleet is dynamic (flexible) fast (speed) and reliable (dependable) IMO regulates, through member states, the shipping industry. They set benchmarks, which is the absolute minimum entry level in any shipping business. This is enforced by random inspections in foreign ports ships visit. Shippers on the other hand expect goods being delivered and will ensure that these absolute minimums are met before loading their cargo onto the ship. The qualifying factors here can also be equated to implied warranties. A ship owner...

...Akiva Lorenz in his essay “Al Qaeda's Maritime Threat” touches on some of the vulnerabilities of various transportation systems to Al Qaeda's asymmetric warfare, and then he moves to his main topic- Maritime Security. To date there have been three major successful terrorist attacks on maritime targets. The first was the 2000 attack on USS Cole while it was making a refueling stop in Aden, Yemen. The second was the 2002 attack on the French oil tanker USS Limburg while it was anchored off Yemen. Al Qaeda on the USS Cole and USS Limburg used small explosive loaded boats to attack their target. Usage of merchant vessels to facilitate terrorist attack is one of the four ways vessels can serve/ be used as weapon. The third major attack, and probably the one least familiar to Westerners, was the 2004 attack in the Philippines on Super Ferry 14. Mr. Lorenz uses these as stepping off points for his article and states that Maritime Terrorism is not well defined by International Law (terrorism is not well defined either) and given this lack of definition points out acts that might fall under "Maritime Terrorism": …the grey areas are cases of kidnap-for-ransom incidents, such as the May 2001 abduction of three American citizens and 17 Filipinos at the Dos Palmas resort on Palawan by Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), an Al Qaeda affiliate. Motivated by the need to finance their political aims, ASG repeatedly perpetrated such acts of piracy. Their actions are an example of the blurring of the distinction...

...battling in a singular worldwide market, it must be regulated at the worldwide level for any control organization to be practical and to keep up a level playing field for all ships free of standard (nationality) or proprietorship. In a manner of speaking, the worldwide character of transportation requests worldwide regulation that applies encompassing to all ships. (International Maritime Organization, 2013) The International Maritime Organization (IMO) (the original name was the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization, or IMCO, but the name was changed in 1982 to IMO) (International Maritime Organization, 2013) was secured by governments as a specific org under the United Nations to give hardware for intergovernmental collaboration in the field of regulation of boats occupied with worldwide exchange. IMO is answerable for the worldwide regulation of all aspects relating to universal transporting and has a key part in guaranteeing that lives at ocean are not put at danger and that nature's turf is not contaminated by vessels' operations – as summed up in IMO's mission statement : Safe, Secure and Efficient Shipping on Clean Oceans. (International Maritime Organization, 2013) IMO's role is essential to advance and order worldwide enactment, which ordinarily applies to the ship itself, meanwhile the Contracting Governments accept the authority regarding execution and authorization. The focus when an IMO instrument has entered into force, countries...
