Energy-Efficient Hydrodynamic Design of Ships for Inland Waterways of Bangladesh based on Fuel Consumption and Emission Control
Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2022 in the subject Engineering - Naval Engineering, Ocean Engineering, language: English, abstract: It has been observed that direct use of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) formulation for the inland ships will not provide the correct result. The prime reason is the effect of shallow water on the ship resistance. In addition to that, cargo availability and fuel quality issues for the inland vessels of Bangladesh forbid the use of IMO guidelines. Again, a generalized formulation is not possible for inland ships. Therefore, the EEDI formulation needs to be modified to be useful for an individual country. To find out the necessary modification of EEDI by IMO to be useful for inland ships of Bangladesh, several field visits, investigations, and laboratory tests have been conducted. The results of these visits, investigations and tests have been used to quantify the hydrodynamic effect of shallow water on ship resistance, actual average operational condition, cargo availability and actual carbon content in fuel. These corrections have been integrated with EEDI by IMO which has been used for the inland ships of Bangladesh. To quantify and set up the CO2 emission level of the Inland Maritime sector of Bangladesh, verified ship data and operational profiles are necessary. Using a good number of verified inland ship data, EEDI baselines for Bangladeshi inland cargo, oil tanker and passenger ships were established. These baselines are one of the first steps in the world for inland ships using verified ship data and are termed as EEDIBD. A ship design method that will ensure the reduction of CO2 emission, sensitivity analysis has been carried out. Three existing ships (cargo, oil tanker and passenger) of Bangladesh have been analysed and EEDIBD was calculated. To do that IMO provides several guidelines, which are most appropriate for seagoing ships. To assess the possib
The Thinking Pilot's Flight Manual
Volume 3 of The Thinking Pilot's Flight Manual carries on the pragmatic and often unconventional approach to matters of vital significance to pilots begun in the widely praised Volumes 1 and 2. In fact, FLYING Magazine identified Volume 1 as one of its "10 best aviation books every pilot should read." As a sample, Volume 3 exposes aviation superstitions, gives an instructor's perspective on getting checked out in a new aircraft, talks frankly about buzz jobs, explains how to buy and insure an airplane, and digs into how pilots put themselves in jeopardy by worrying about the wrong things.

Ship Sanitation and Hygiene
It is not by accident that ships have historically played a significant role in the carriage and transmission of infectious diseases around the world. Some of the earliest recorded evidence of attempts to control human disease transmission via ships dates as far back as the 14th century, when ports denied access to ships suspected of carrying bubonic plague. In the 19th century, the spread of cholera was thought to have been a consequence in the boom in merchant shipping. In a 2004 study, it is estimated that as many as 100 disease outbreaks were attributable to ship movements between 1970 and 2003. As of 2022, the global merchant fleet is smaller than in earlier years, yet the size and capacity of individual ships have grown exponentially. Whilst the risk of carrying infectious diseases is on the one hand limited by the lower number of hulls, the very fact that ships are larger today than ever before makes them a hazard waiting to happen. For this reason alone, it is imperative that the global shipping industry accepts its responsibility for ensuring the highest possible standards in ship sanitation and hygiene. This is not a burden carried by the shipping industry alone, however; the aviation industry also shares this burden, with people more mobile today than at any point in human history. Since 1999, there have been 11 major outbreaks of infectious diseases around the world. Some of these were local or regional, such as the 1999-2002 outbreak of West Nile Virus and 2006 Mumps pandemic in the US. Other outbreaks have been able to spread globally and with relative ease in part because of the globalised nature of travel and commerce. In 2003, SARS-CoV, 2009 H1N1 Virus (Swine Flu), 2012 MERS CoV, 2014 Ebola, 2016 Zika Virus and of course in 2019, Covid. These events represent the risk we all face in the battle against existing, emerging and new diseases. As humans spread further into the chartered regions of Africa and Asia in search of new materials and commercial opportunities, so does the risk of contracting and spreading infections. Recognising this risk, and taking appropriate actions is just the start of safeguarding against this very real modern-world problem. It is equally important, however, to recognise that tropical and exotic diseases are not the only problem that faces the modern seafarer. Poor personal hygiene, and ineffective shipboard sanitation are both key causes of common - and preventable - illnesses such as food poisoning, hepatitis, dental issues, stress and anxiety, depression, amongst many more. Living and working at sea is a difficult and isolated existence, which affects seasoned mariners as much as those new to the profession. Whilst this book does not profess to be an encyclopaedia of medical problems and treatments, it is hoped that by following the simple advice and guidance contained in these pages the shipping industry can be a little bit healthier, and therefore safer.

Overcoming Challenge
Growing up surrounded by a family of truck drivers, Ernest D. Hamilton, from Boones Mill, VA, learned what it meant to treat people fairly and to never give up on your dreams. Not surprisingly, Hamilton became a truck driver himself. Compelled to make a positive difference in the workplace and in the lives of his colleagues in the trucking industry, Hamilton stepped out of his comfort zone, and into management, where he faced enormous challenges. Along the way Hamilton gained trusted friends with whom he has remained close. Combined, his North Carolina friends and his West Virginia family call themselves the Tar-Billy Cruisers. In Overcoming Challenge: The Tar-Billy Way, Hamilton shares memories of growing up, getting his first truck driving job, going back to school, and moving into management within the trucking industry. He urges his readers to face challenges head on and to never give up on achieving their dreams.
