Perancangan Hovercraft Pengangkut Sistem Desalinasi Untuk Pelayaran Jarak Dekat Antar Pulau

Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara kepulauan yang terdiri dari beberapa pulau besar dan beribu-ribu pulau kecil. Menurut data terbaru, total sebanyak 17.504 pulau ada di perairan Indonesia dengan 6.000 di antaranya merupakan pulau berpenghuni. Pulau-pulau kecil dengan criteria luas yang kurang dari 2.000 m2 tidak memiliki sumber air bersih yang cukup atau bahkan tidak ada sama sekali. Banyak solusi yang sudah dikembangkan terkait krisis air bersih ini salah satunya menyediakan alat penyulingan air laut menjadi air bersih atau biasa disebut sistem desalinasi oleh pemerintah setempat. Namun itu tidak berjalan efektif dikarenakan biaya perawatan alat tersebut cukup mahal dan iuran yang dibebankan pada masyarakat untuk biaya perawatan tidak sebanding dengan pendapatan penduduk sekitar. Pada penelitian ini dirancang suatu transportasi air yang mampu mendistribusikan mesin atau sistem desalinasi portabel beserta kebutuhan logistik lainnya dari pulau ke pulau. Dikarenakan tidak semua pulau memiliki dermaga dan fasilitas bongkar muat yang memadai, maka peneliti berinisiatif untuk merancang sebuah Kapal Amphibi berjenis Hovercraft untuk mempermudah proses distribusi hingga bongkar muat di daratan. Proses perancangan dilakukan menggunakan metode sister ship dengan mempertimbangkan ukuran benda yang akan diangkut sehingga ditentukan Panjang = 13,2 m, Lebar = 6,7 m, material Aluminium, dengan total berat = 19 ton, Kecepatan = 50 knot, dan desain mengacu pada Hovercraft tipe pengangkut. Berdasarkan data-data tersebut didapatkan kapasitas total daya angkat sebesar 1909,44 HP dan daya dorong sebesar 695, 61 HP.

Sister Ship Binding Clause as a Reinforcement of Debt Repayment Legal Certainty on Ship Mortgage

The field of marine transportation plays a role that is not less important than land transportation in terms of economic development in Indonesia. As a result of globalization, business activity continues to increase, whether it is business in the field of marine transportation or outside the field, it is certainly undeniable that the activity requires a very large funds, which funds can be obtained by one way is to apply for credit/loans. Large amount of loans will only be given with the imposition of collateral as a further process. The imposition of collateral for large amount of loans may designate the ship as its collateral object by utilizing the Mortgage security agency. However, when the ship is being vetted on a voyage across national borders, the impact is when its debts mature, then the execution of such ship will be difficult, caused by the inadequate legal rules in Indonesia, and not all countries ratify the ship’s arrest convention. This study aims to provide a solution in order to achieve legal certainty of Mortgaged object execution that being across national borders for a significant development of shipping business. This research is normative research. The result obtained is the need of a clause in the Mortgage security document concerning the binding of sister ship with equal value, as the collateral object backup, when the execution of ship loaded with Mortgage security is unable to be done since it is located outside the state border.

New Discoveries

The Emanuel Point Shipwreck helped to persuade the University of West Florida to begin a program of maritime archaeology. Those students ultimately continued the survey of Pensacola Bay, finding another Luna shipwreck near the first one and then, recently, a third sister ship in the fleet. Above the shipwrecks on the Emanuel Point Bluff, remnants of the settlement site have also been found, creating an unparalleled opportunity to study the maritime and terrestrial components of that forgotten chapter and bring its remains to light.

PIERRE BOULEZ AND THE PROJECT OF ‘L'ORESTIE’

Among the passengers on the ocean liner Provence, as it disembarked from the Argentine capital Buenos Aires on 30 July 1954 at the outset of its 18-day voyage to Marseilles, were members of the theatre company Renaud-Barrault, returning home after a lengthy tour during the course of which it had performed in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. If there was general fatigue at the end of such a gruelling schedule, during which the Company had given over 80 performances, there must have been an accompanying sense of exhilaration, and for perhaps the first time since leaving France on 24 April, an opportunity to relax. (Even the outward journey on Bretagne, the sister ship of Provence, had been taken up with a full schedule of rehearsals for the coming tour.) The joint directors, Jean-Louis Barrault and his wife Madeleine Renaud, as well as the young musical director, Pierre Boulez, joined their colleagues on board Provence a few days later at the Brazilian port of Salvador de Bahia, having opted to return to Brazil for a few days, during which there was an opportunity to witness a candomblé ceremony. For Jean-Louis Barrault, it was evidently a joyous return to the country which was the scene of the Company's first and perhaps greatest triumphs on a tour which had been as successful in every respect as the Company's first visit to South America in 1950.

Equipment of a Sister Ship of Aircraft Carrier “Charles De Gaulle” With 2 HTR Nuclear Reactor Instead of the Actual Two PWR: Preliminary Study — Main Results

An explorative and preliminary study has been done by a small crew of students of the Ecole des Applications Militaires de l’Energie Atomique (Cherbourg FRANCE) under the directives and councils of TECHNICATOME and the CEA (Commissariat a` l’Energie Atomique). Main results: • The HTR reactor types are interesting for equipping military great ship like an air craft carrier, the general design as result of a preliminary study shows that mass and size of the propulsion system can be more favourable than with PWR reactors.

Paper 6: Alignment Investigation following a Medium-Speed Marine Engine Crankshaft Failure

The multiple fracture, apparently without warning, of the crankshaft of one of a pair of medium-speed propulsion engines in a modern cargo ship in mid-Atlantic led to a programme of tests, involving many alignment measurements, chiefly on a sister ship. The damage to the engine is reviewed and an account is given of the investigation into the cause of failure. The measured values of alignment are recorded, together with changes of alignment due to temperature variations of the machinery, the lubricating oil, and the cooling water, and to cargo loading and distribution. Conclusions are stated and a set of rules, which have been supported by subsequent experience, are postulated.

French Antarctic Expedition, 1949–52

On 27 February 1947 P.-É. Victor, head of Expéditions Polaires Francaises obtained the agreement of the French Government for the organization of two scientific expeditions, one to Greenland and one to Terre Adélie. Preparations for the French Antarctic Expedition began at once. One of the greatest difficulties which had to be solved was the fact that France had had no polar vessel since the loss of the Pourquoi Pas? in 1936. Eventually, however, Expéditions Polaires FranÇaises bought at San Francisco the Atiette (ex-Lancewood), a wooden vessel built in 1943 as U.S. Navy net-layer AN-48. This vessel, a sister ship of the John Biscoe and Port of Beaumont, Texas, was brought to France and adapted for polar navigation, the hull being strengthened at the stem and stern. The vessel was then renamed the Commandant Charcot, and the French Navy agreed to commission her and carry the expedition to and from Terre Adélie. Engine trouble delayed the departure originally planned for September 1949, and the vessel did not leave Brest until 26 November that year.
