This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report questions whether the Department for Transport is striking the appropriate balance between its role as a regulator of port safety and its aim to promote the commercial attractiveness of UK ports. This follows evidence that most ports fail to confirm to Government that they comply with best practice guidance on port safety and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency has the resources to conduct just four port 'health checks' each year. Representatives of marine pilots, who guide ships in and out of ports, lack confidence that the Department for Transport understands their concerns and the requirements of their work and shares their aim of enhancing maritime safety. The Committee is opposed to a proposal, supported by Government, to relax the rules on the granting of pilotage exemption certificates to more junior navigating officers which could jeopardise safety. If the Government insists on pressing ahead with this change, the Committee recommends that the impact of the change should be monitored. Other recommendations include that: the Maritime and Coastguard Agency should broaden its safety inspection programme so that it undertakes eight inspections per annum; ports should be required to publish statistics on accidents and near-misses; the Government should use its influence to persuade harbour authorities to accept national standards as to who can be authorised as a pilot: if national standards are not adopted the case for legislation on this issue will be compelling.

Download or read book Safety and Health in Ports written by International Labour Office and published by International Labour Organization. This book was released on 2005 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Port work is still considered an occupation with very high accident rates. This essential code of practice, intended to replace both the second edition of the ILO Code of Practice on Safety and Health in Dock Work (1977) and the ILO Guide to Safety and Health in Dock Work (1976), provides valuable advice and assistance to all those charged with the management, operation, maintenance and development of ports and their safety. Offering many detailed technical illustrations and examples of good practice, the provisions of this code cover all aspects of port work where goods or passengers are loaded or unloaded to or from ships. It is not limited to international trade but applies equally to domestic operations, including those on inland waterways. New topics are: traffic and vehicular movements of all types; activities on shore and on ship; amended levels of lighting provision; personal protective equipment; ergonomics; provisions for disabled persons; and the specific handling of certain cargoes, for example logs, scrap metal and dangerous goods.

Download or read book Autonomous Ships and the Law written by Henrik Ringbom and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in autonomous ships has grown exponentially over the past few years. Whereas a few years ago, the prospect of unmanned and autonomous vessels sailing on the seas was considered unrealistic, the debate now centers on when and in what format and pace the development will take place. Law has a key role to play in this development and legal obstacles are often singled out as principal barriers to the rapid introduction of new technologies in shipping. Within a few years, autonomous ships have turned from a non-issue to one of the main regulatory topics being addressed by the International Maritime Organization. However, the regulatory discussion is still in its infancy, and while many new questions have been raised, few answers have been provided to them to date. Increased automation of tasks that have traditionally been undertaken by ships' crews raises interesting legal questions across the whole spectrum of maritime law. The first of its kind, this book explores the issue of autonomous ships from a wide range of legal perspectives, including both private law and public law at international and national level, making available cutting-edge research which will be of significant interest to researchers in maritime law.

Download or read book HW0288 Engineering Communication II written by Kingsley Bolton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the coursebook for Engineering Communication II, a one-semester, 2-credit course that builds upon the foundation course, Engineering Communication I. The broad aim of this course is to further enhance students’ abilities in academic communication related to their studies in engineering as well as in professional communication. Professional engineers not only need expert knowledge relating to engineering, but they also need to be able to communicate that knowledge, both to their professional colleagues and also to the wider community. This coursebook is designed to help improve students’ skills in both areas of communication. Shaped around the Final Year Project and workplace communication, this tried and tested coursebook will aid students in successfully completing Engineering Communication II. Please note: As HW0188 Engineering Communication I is a pre-requisite for this course, please ensure that you have completed the course, signed up for it this semester or obtained exemption from this requirement.
