The Turkish Straits are well known for theirs intensive maritime traffic. The average annual number of transit ships passing through this waterway is approximately 50000 and more than 100 flag states pass through it. Moreover, this waterway presents a navigational challenge owing to its inherent geographic and oceanographic characteristics. Also, sub-standard ships navigating in this region lead to an increased risk levels and pose a threat to the marine environment. Over the years, serious maritime accidents occurring in the straits region had resulted in losses of life and constituted environmental disasters. The high risk arising from maritime shipping in these regions had always endangered public health in the vicinity of the Turkish Straits. In this study, maritime safety in the Turkish Straits region had been assessed based on the performance in the Port State Control inspections of flag states passing through this region. For the assessment of the performance of passing flag states, detention and deficiency indices of these flag states were generated for the MOUs. According to these values, the risk level of these flag states had been determined by the weighted risk point methods. Hereby, in addition to the determination of the risk level of flag states, the relationships between the inspections of MOUs had been also discussed on the basis of both the detention and the deficiency rates of flag states.

Abstract International maritime shipping—powered by heavy fuel oil—contributes 2.5%, 12%, and 13% of global anthropogenic CO2, SO2, and NOx emissions, respectively. The direct electrification of vessels has been underexplored as a low-emission option despite its considerable efficiency advantage over electrofuels such as green hydrogen and ammonia. Previous studies of ship electrification have relied on outdated battery cost and energy density values and have incorrectly assumed mechanical space to be a fixed technical variable. We show that with near-future battery prices of $100 kWh-1 the electrification of intraregional trade routes of less than 1,000 km is economically feasible with minimal impact to ship carrying capacity. Projected declines in battery price to $50 kWh-1 could improve this range to 5,000 km. We describe a pathway for the battery electrification of containerships within this decade that electrifies over 40% of global containership traffic, reduces CO2 emissions by 40% for US-based vessels, and mitigates the health impacts of air pollution on coastal communities.

Direct Growth

The aim of this paper is to provide the information model for the worldwide tanker shipping market 2010 – 2020. The evaluation and analysis of the relevant variables of the model and the resulting growth rates are used to describe the most important theoretical principles of the worldwide tanker shipping market over the observed period of time. The research produced direct growth rates of the variables on the index scale from 1 to 100: 1. Innovations in maritime shipping (37.5), 2. Global economy (25.0), 3. Shipbuilding (14.3). 4. Globalisation (12.5) and 5. Freight rates (12.5). It can be concluded that the direct growth rates of all model variables of the worldwide tanker shipping market 2010 – 2020 have realistic chances to be implemented. By 2020 it is expected that the demand on the tanker shipping market will increase more intensely than the demand in other trades.

Taxation System

This chapter examines the taxation system for trade and commerce in ancient Greece. It first considers how foreign trade and customs duties were supervised before discussing the system of taxation for maritime trade. Citing documents concerning tax exemptions, the chapter shows that traders were constantly seeking privileges in an effort to avoid paying taxes. Maritime shipping was the quickest and least expensive way to move goods, and ports were levied the highest amount of taxes. Cities situated on the coastline benefited from an economic rent related to their location, and they exploited their natural advantage to the maximum. A city had the right to levy transit fees on its own territory, but not if these fees were levied on a maritime channel. The chapter also emphasizes the importance of economic information in maritime commerce, especially with regard to ensuring the security of international trade.

Successful Business

Since knowledge management (KM) is considered to be an important function of the successful business operation, many organizations are embracing KM. The success of a KM project is dependent upon its contents. This paper presents a method for building an effective knowledge model which can help businesses analyze and specify knowledge contents. The method takes a decision-oriented view. For the modeling language of the method, Unified Modeling Language (UML) has been chosen. The method is applied to the vessel scheduling process in a maritime shipping company. The steps and rules are explained using an example, and the strengths and weaknesses of the method are discussed.
