OPTIMALISASI PELAKSANAAN BONGKAR MUAT OIL PRODUCT DI MT. PATRA TANKER 3

Fandhy Dony Wicaksono, 2017, 49124381 N, “ Optimalisasi Pelaksanaan Bongkar Muat Oil Product di MT. Patra Tanker 3 ”, Diploma IV , Nautika, Politeknik Ilmu Pelayaran Semarang, Counselour : (I) Sahabuddin Sunusi (II) Yustina Sapan. Oil production rising rapidly from oil fields, refineries and depots - oil depot in Indonesia. It makes participation of oil tankers becomes more vital than ever. Loading and discharging equipment on the tanker must always be in good condition in order to support the process of loading and discharging. Optimization of loading and discharging must be supported by good communication between the ship at the loading or discharging port. This research is focused on the process of loading and discharging at MT. Patra Tanker 3 which is frequently delays due to human factors and factors of equipment and efforts to optimize the loading and discharging activities. The research methodology that author use is a descriptive qualitative method. The author presents the data according to the results of the observation as authors did the sea project, interviews with the officers of MT. Patra Tanker 3 and literature study that the author obtained from books, internet and literature relating to loading and discharging process of oil product. Based on the research that the author carried out, it can be seen that the constraints that occur when loading and discharging process in MT. Patra Tanker 3 are the lack of understanding, knowledge and awareness of the crew about the dangers and how the loading and unloading procedures in accordance with the standards as well as safe. In addition the process of loading and discharging at MT. Patra Tanker 3 are constrained by a cargo pump is not functioning optimally. From these problems, it’s necessary to give the entire crew training regarding the loading and discharging process in accordance with the procedures and also the operation of loading and discharging equipment is right and how to taking care of the loading and discharging equipment. Besides, the ship’s crew also had to check periodically for loading and discharging equipment. Keywords : Oil Product, Loading, Discharging, descriptive qualitative

Nuclear power plants for mobile applications

Mobile nuclear powerplants for applications other than large ships and submarines will require compact, lightweight reactors with especially stringent impact-safety design. The technical and economic feasibility that the broadening role of civilian nuclear power, in general, (land-based nuclear electric generating plants and nuclear ships) can extend to lightweight, safe mobile nuclear powerplants are examined. The paper discusses technical experience, identifies potential sources of technology for advanced concepts, cites the results of economic studies of mobile nuclear powerplants, and surveys future technical capabilities needed by examining the current use and projected needs for vehicles, machines, and habitats that could effectively use mobile nuclear reactor powerplants

Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Area to be Avoided (ATBA) Education and Monitoring Program

The National Marine Sanctuaries Act (16 U.S.C. 1431, as amended) gives the Secretary of Commerce the authority to designate discrete areas of the marine environment as National Marine Sanctuaries and provides the authority to promulgate regulations to provide for the conservation and management of these marine areas. The waters of the Outer Washington Coast were recognized for their high natural resource and human use values and placed on the National Marine Sanctuary Program Site Evaluation List in 1983. In 1988, Congress directed NOAA to designate the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (Pub. L. 100-627). The Sanctuary, designated in May 1994, worked with the U.S. Coast Guard to request the International Maritime Organization designate an Area to be Avoided (ATBA) on the Olympic Coast. The IMO defines an ATBA as "a routeing measure comprising an area within defined limits in which either navigation is particularly hazardous or it is exceptionally important to avoid casualties and which should be avoided by all ships, or certain classes of ships" (IMO, 1991). This ATBA was adopted in December 1994 by the Maritime Safety Committee of the IMO, “in order to reduce the risk of marine casualty and resulting pollution and damage to the environment of the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary”, (IMO, 1994). The ATBA went into effect in June 1995 and advises operators of vessels carrying petroleum and/or hazardous materials to maintain a 25-mile buffer from the coast. Since that time, Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) has created an education and monitoring program with the goal of ensuring the successful implementation of the ATBA. The Sanctuary enlisted the aid of the U.S. and Canadian coast guards, and the marine industry to educate mariners about the ATBA and to use existing radar data to monitor compliance. Sanctuary monitoring efforts have targeted education on tank vessels observed transiting the ATBA. OCNMS's monitoring efforts allow quantitative evaluation of this voluntary measure. Finally, the tools developed to monitor the ATBA are also used for the more general purpose of monitoring vessel traffic within the Sanctuary. While the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary does not currently regulate vessel traffic, such regulations are within the scope of the Sanctuary’s Final Environmental Impact Statement/Management Plan. Sanctuary staff participate in ongoing maritime and environmental safety initiatives and continually seek opportunities to mitigate risks from marine shipping.(PDF contains 44 pages.

Assessment of lightweight mobile nuclear power systems

A review was made of lightweight mobile nuclear power systems (LMNPS). Data cover technical feasibility studies of LMNPS and airborne vehicles, mission studies, and non-technical conditions that are required to develop and use LMNPS

State of the art of metalclad airships

Metalclad airship development of the past history are considered along with the immediate prospects for continuation of the development of these airships. The metalclad airships promise high safety even in highly inclement weather, are capable of high speeds, while lifting high useful loads. Metalclad airships which in first cost would compare favorably with the costs of sea-going ships and in operating costs promise to be lower than airplanes
