Download or read book The National Shipbuilding Research Program Impact of Recent and Anticipated Changes in Airborne Emission Exposure Limits on Shipyard Workers written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navy and the National Shipbuilding Research Program Welding Panel (SP-7) are concerned with the recent and anticipated future reductions in Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) worker exposure limits for airborne emissions. these changes involve nickel (Ni), manpanese (Mn), and hexavalent chromium (Cr(Vl)) . The concerns are due to the potential impact these reductions may have on operations in Navy facilities, public Shipyards, and private shipyards involved in the construction, maintenance, and repair of ships. A Navy/Industry task Group lead by the Naval Sea Systems Command prepared this report of the technical and economic impact of these new and anticipated reductions in worker exposure limits. this report: Identifies the manufacturing and repair operations, materials, and processes that are expected to be impacted by the recent and anticipated reductions in exposure limits. Presents data on current Worker exposure levels to Ni, Mn, total Cr, and Cr(Vl). Identifies the technical and economic impact of the anticipated reductions in the Cr(VI) PEL on Navy facilities and public and private shipyards. Identifies future actions that may be required to comply with the recent and anticipated reductions in exposure limits. This study concludes that workers in Navy facilities and public and private shipyards who perform the following operations have the potential for exposure to Ni, Mn, total Cr, and Cr(Vl) : Construction, Structural Fabrication and Repair of Facilities; Metal Cleaning; Casting; Plating; Painting; Coating; Machining; Welding; thermal Spraying; thermal Cutting and Grouping Woodworking (of pressure treated Wood); and Services (includes Transportation, motor vehicle, maintenance).
Download or read book Reducing maritime emissions written by Nordic Marina and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An overarching conclusion of Nordic Marina’s work in the past three years reveals that the global, and indeed the Nordic shipping and maritime industries, are already boldly moving ahead with regard to emissions reduction, boasting numerous innovative and successful projects contributing toward this goal. In order to take major steps forward, involvement from the government side is needed and currently lacking. There are barriers that industry and government must work on collectively, potentially via joint public-private partnerships. Commitment for the long term is essential, in addition to the demand for strengthening infrastructure and a reliable supply chain to support new fuels. Furthermore, the socio-economic benefits of emissions reduction and the applications of alternative fuels appear to be obscure. The bottom line is this: the time for action is now, for all of us.

Download or read book Reducing C02 and other emissions from shipping written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Environmental Audit Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emission of greenhouse gases from shipping is a serious problem for international climate change policy and they cannot be allowed to grow uncontrolled. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has estimated that international shipping was responsible for annual emissions of around 843 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (MtCO2) in 2007, or around 3 per cent of total man-made carbon emissions. This report follows up an earlier inquiry (Reducing carbon emissions from transport, HC 981-I, 9th report of session 2005-06, ISBN 9780215030412)and examines what efforts the Government is making in three main respects: (a) negotiations to tackle shipping emissions at an international level (within the IMO, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the EU); (b) measures by which the UK is to take into account its share of international shipping emissions in domestic carbon budgets (through the Climate Change Act 2008); and (c) support in the UK for operational improvements and technological R&D aimed at reducing emissions from shipping. Very little progress has been made at the international level. A lack of urgency shown by industrialised nations and blocking actions by developing economies share the blame. The Government admits that the current calculation of the UK's share of international shipping emissions is an underestimate and should consult on how to improve the methodology it uses to calculate the UK's share of international shipping emissions. Government support for research and development should focus on technologies that can be retrofitted to existing ships, and offer a genuine alternative to fossil fuels, such as hydrogen fuel cells. There should be drastic acceleration of R&D into low- and zero-carbon propulsion systems.
Download or read book United States and Maritime Shipping Emissions Policies written by Michael Podesta and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2017-02-08 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: A, University of Michigan, language: English, abstract: The maritime freight industry is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. If current practices continue, experts predict that it will account for 17% of total emissions by 2050. Both the United States government and the International Maritime Organization have enacted strict regulations to promote the industry’s adoption of alternative sources of fuel in an effort to reduce the amount of sulfur oxides and other pollutants released from container ships. This research sought to connect whether or not the United States and International Maritime Organization sulfur fuel enforcements have allowed container ship companies to catalyze an industry-wide shift in shipping practices. To answer my questions, I analyzed relevant container ship policies by the United States government within the last ten years as well as regulations in place by the International Maritime Organization specifically addressing sulfur level reduction. I then analyzed the archives of container ship companies in search of sustainability initiatives or alternative fuel adoption underway. In gathering results, I found evidence suggesting the United States federal government has enacted sufficient standards in attempting to limit sulfur emissions from container ship engines within its coastlines. Additionally, I recognized that the International Maritime Organization is committed to reducing sulfur emissions in the fastest way possible by establishing Emission Control Areas in coastlines as well as instituting tight regulations to limit sulfur content in ship fuel. Third, reports show that the industry is struggling to adopt clean fuel, due to high market costs and demand, but have been able to meet the fuel standards through alternative and cheaper methods. These results are applicable to only container ships or vessels of that size, as smaller vessels have different engine standards. Moreover, this research was concerned specifically with North American standards, meaning that the same results may not be found in other areas of the world. The research I conducted serves as insight for the public into a relatively unknown aspect of transportation-related environmental issues. It also functions as a platform upon which the dangers of human-caused climate change can be addressed.

Download or read book The National Shipbuilding Research Program Survey of Air and Water Quality Pollution Prevention and Control Technology Used in Shipyards and Similar Industries written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this project was to perform a survey of U.S. shipyards and similar industries to determine what technologies are currently being implemented or planned to prevent or reduce air emissions and wastewater discharges from facility operations. The next objective was to develop a guide that shipyard environmental managers could use to perform a preliminary evaluation of technologies that may have application in their facilities. This document covers pollution prevention and control technologies for surface preparation, surface coating, cleaning operations, welding, and wastewater treatment. The information included in this report is summarized below: (1) summaries of pollution prevention and control technologies which include advantages, disadvantages, pollution prevention benefits, contact points, vendor information, and locations to obtain more technical information including case studies for industrial application and economic evaluations comparing the technology to less environmentally friendly alternatives, (2) locations to order or download (from the Internet) technical papers and summaries on pollution prevention technologies, on-going technology projects, and regulations, and (3) results of the shipyard surveys which include an overview of the technologies that are currently being implemented in shipyard operations and recommendations for technologies currently being implemented. The information provided for each technology is based on the author's interpretation of available literature and vendor information. This document does not intend to recommend one technology over another for a given application, but instead to provide a basis for comparable evaluations of technologies. It is left to the shipyard environmental manager to evaluate the available pollution prevention and/or pollution control technologies and determine which technologies best meets their needs.
Download or read book Maritime Decarbonization written by Mikael Lind and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-20 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume analyses maritime decarbonization from various perspectives. It contains unique approaches and tools in four areas: scenarios, value chains, enablers, and partnerships. Decarbonization has become a very important focus in the maritime industry. Anyone that delves into the topic quickly appreciates its breadth and complexity. Minimizing greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in maritime practices at large and doing it swiftly is far from simple. The Paris 2015 climate goals and the IMO ambitions may be the industry’s guiding lights. But is this enough? Probably not. At the managerial level a paradigm shift is needed: from a fixed mindset that is calling for compensation to a growth mindset that seeks to capture the benefits of decarbonization. This will require a structured approach in the form of practical frameworks and clear recommendations. In this book 75 scholars and industry and subject matter experts have joined forces to explore different scenarios, value chain designs, decarbonization enablers, and partnership models to develop frameworks and recommendations around how to effectively work and make progress. The books offers a valuable mix of theory, practical tools, and real-life cases.
Download or read book Control Mechanisms for Nordic Ship Emissions written by Kjetil Martinsen and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shipping today operates under a complex set of international and domestic regulations. However, the environmental regulations have lagged behind those of other industries. This situation is now changing quite dramatically. The increased focus on environmental issues, combined with the growing realisation of the actual pollution burden imposed by shipping, has led to an upsurge in both international and national regulations. Some are ready and will enter into force in the near future, while others are still being developed. On behalf of the Nordic Council of Ministers DNV has carried out a study on possible control mechanisms for Nordic ship emission. The aim is to assess the baseline shipping emissions and reduction potential and the possible controlling mechanisms (both incentives and regulations) available for reducing the emissions to air from shipping within the Nordic region.
