This document discusses the geographic information system (GIS) used by the Seberang Perai Municipal Council (MPSP) in Penang, Malaysia. It provides background on MPSP and the development of its GIS since 2004. The GIS aims to provide a comprehensive geospatial database for data sharing between government departments. It is used for town planning purposes like structure plans, local plans, and zoning checks. The document outlines MPSP GIS's current functions and tools, as well as visions for future improvements like centralized data integration and 3D modeling capabilities.
Seago Line is A.P. Moller-Maersk's new intra-Europe carrier focused on shortsea shipping within Europe, the Mediterranean, Black Sea, and Baltic regions. It aims to shift freight from road to sea to reduce environmental impact and congestion. Seago Line will operate differently than other carriers by having centralized operations in Copenhagen for faster responses; an extensive network of direct routes; and faster documentation and processes like booking confirmations and bill of lading amendments. It will issue its own bills of lading and invoices starting in November 2011 once full IT integration is completed.

Samskip provides multimodal transportation solutions utilizing short sea shipping, rail, road, and barge to reliably and sustainably transport goods across its network in Europe, North and South America, and Asia. Key services include temperature controlled transport, international forwarding, and storage.
This document is a feasibility study by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) assessing options for a shipping company to comply with stricter emission regulations in Emission Control Areas (ECAs). DNV evaluated converting the main engines of a case ship to run on liquefied natural gas (LNG), installing a scrubber system, or switching to low-sulfur fuel. Conversion to dual-fuel engines and installing LNG tanks was estimated to cost $6.5-8.3 million. Charts show the cumulative costs over time of each compliance option if the case ship spent 55% or 100% of its time operating in ECAs. LNG appears cost competitive compared to fuel switching or a

Baker Hughes is a leading supplier of oilfield services and technology. The document discusses Baker Hughes' operations in Norway, including its revenue, employees, facilities, and supply chain logistics. It notes that Baker Hughes is testing the use of sea transport between its Stavanger and northern Norway locations to reduce the number of trucks needed and improve sustainability, as the activity in the northern regions is increasing. Key considerations for using sea transport include reliability, flexibility, price, and environmental impact.
- Europe is short on diesel fuel and a net importer, with demand expected to grow strongly. Refineries are struggling and some have closed.
- The switch to low-sulfur diesel for ships in Emission Control Areas will increase tightness in the distillate markets and likely lead to higher prices, though the impact will be less in North America which exports distillates.
- Availability of very low sulfur marine gasoil is currently good in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean is expected to have sufficient supplies, though the Nordic countries could see tighter markets depending on refinery production.
1) The document discusses installing an exhaust gas cleaning system called a scrubber on the pilot vessel MV Tarago to comply with sulphur regulations. It will cost $10 million to install and could save $7 million per year in ECA areas by allowing the vessel to continue using cheaper high-sulphur fuel.
2) Key points examined in the pre-study included loss of cargo space, weight and stability impacts, retrofit challenges, power consumption, fresh water usage, and operational impacts. Extensive piping and cabling would be required.
3) Installation of the large scrubber unit, weighing 45 tons, is underway on the vessel. Third-party testing and verification will begin
This document discusses methanol as a potential future fuel for shipping to meet new sulfur regulations. It presents four options for compliance, including running on low-sulfur fuel, using liquefied natural gas (LNG) or methanol, or installing exhaust scrubbers. Methanol is highlighted as an easier-to-handle alternative to LNG that could be produced from various feedstocks. The document summarizes tests conducted on the Stena Scanrail ship converting its auxiliary engines to run on methanol and outlines Stena's plans to gradually convert more of its short-sea fleet to methanol by 2025 to reduce emissions and fuel costs.
Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECAs) are sea areas where stricter requirements exist for the sulphur content of bunker fuel used by ships. SECAs are defined in MARPOL Annex VI and currently include the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and areas within 24 miles of the California coast. The document discusses the sulphur limits that apply in SECAs according to MARPOL Annex VI, including a limit of 1% until 2014, 0.1% beginning in 2015, as well as the global cap outside of SECAs of 3.5% until 2020 and 0.5% beginning in 2020. It also notes that the EU Sulphur Directive is aligned with
This document summarizes a presentation by Clean Marine AS on their exhaust gas cleaning system. Some key points:
- Clean Marine AS is a pioneering company in exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) with over 20 employees and USD 20 million invested in development.
- They have a proven EGCS technology and a contract to install systems on two Samsung/AET shuttle tankers delivering in late 2014 and early 2015.
- With new sulfur regulations coming into effect from 2015, EGCS presents a viable option for vessels to continue using less expensive high-sulfur fuel and avoid costly low-sulfur fuel.
This document summarizes Rolls-Royce's presentation on LNG propulsion systems for short-sea shipping vessels. It discusses the benefits of LNG in reducing emissions compared to diesel, examples of new-build and conversion projects using LNG, and key considerations for conversions including feasibility studies, engine choices, fuel tank options, and estimated costs ranging from $40-65 million depending on the scope of work. A case study of converting the container vessel Pachuca to LNG propulsion is provided as an example.
This document discusses sustainable shortsea shipping, both currently and in the future. It presents a shortsea shipping calculator that calculates emissions door-to-door based on actual routes and ship information. Currently, shortsea shipping results in 40-70% lower CO2 emissions per ton-km compared to trucking. Future improvements aim to cut CO2 emissions in half through ship design upgrades like hull modifications, hybrid technologies, new fuels like LNG and biofuels, as well as optimizing logistics. With support through policies like CO2 taxes and research funding, shortsea shipping's future potential for carbon neutrality is promising.
The document summarizes information about the Port of Rotterdam, which is the largest port in Europe. Some key details include:
- The port has a total area of 12,500 hectares and handled 435 million tons of cargo in 2011.
- It is the largest container port in Europe, handling over 12 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) per year.
- To maintain its leading position, the port is undertaking major investments like expanding onto new land at Maasvlakte 2, developing a new Cool Port facility, and improving connectivity through rail and barge connections to the hinterland.
