New Consumer

Are individuals ready to act and take concrete action to address climate change? Will consumers try to use their buying power to reduce the level of emissions? And will they be prepared to pay more for products and services that help achieve this objective? The answer to all of these questions appears to be yes. Up to now, it has been difficult for companies in the resources industries such as utilities and oil and gas businesses, to gauge the potential impact of consumer action on their businesses. Now, a new survey of more than 7,500 consumers worldwide shows that consumers across the globe are not just aware of climate change as an issue, but are adopting a new mindset that will change the basis on which they make buying decisions. Designed by Accenture, the survey shows in particular that consumers will favour providers whose products and services make a positive contribution to tackling climate change—and will look unfavourably on those that ignore the issue.

Drifting Ice

International operators are seeking, investigating and pursuing new business opportunities in the Arctic. While operating in the Arctic, there will be a considerable need for vessels to keep their position during various operations which may include lifting, installation, crew change, evacuation, and maybe drilling. Opposed to open water, the drifting ice poses severe limitations as to how stationkeeping operations may be carried out. Dynamic positioning systems are currently developed aiding stationkeeping without mooring systems. There is a considerable need to enhance the open water DP systems for use in a new forcing environment. Essentially a new technology has to be developed with time. For that reason, considerable knowledge is required concerning current limitations and boundary conditions. This paper addresses some of the generic challenges related to DP operations in ice together with relevant learnings which are employed in mentioned DP enhancements.

The 19Th Century

AbstractIn this article, I argue that commercial legislation promulgated and implemented in Egypt during the first half of the 19th century was one of several factors that diminished the effect of merchants’ social networks, reduced merchants’ identity to a purely professional dimension, and made profit dependent upon association with the state. The transformation of merchants’ social roles was not part of a natural evolution toward modernization and the specialized division of labor. Rather, it resulted from interactions between state-building endeavors, pressures from established merchants who sought to parry threats to their position while profiting from new business opportunities, and an influx of merchants from outside the Ottoman sultanate, who could draw neither on personal connections nor on knowledge of local markets but instead had to depend on the protection of the European consulates and the influence of the growing Egyptian state apparatus.
