      <title>SEALIFT OVERHEAD RAPID DELIVERY SYSTEM CONCEPT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/540206</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The logistics support of any military operation demands rapid and continuous delivery of equipment, munitions, and supplies. A small portion of this cargo is delivered by air, but the majority arrives by sea.  Many of the sealift vessels currently used by the military are non-self-sustaining containerships and roll-on/roll-off vessels.  The use of such vessels can encounter serious obstacles when the necessary cargo-handling equipment and facilities are either damaged or not present.  This problem is further compounded in sea states of three [wave height of 1.5 to 3.6 m (5 to 12 ft)] and higher.  The system presented outlines a cost-sensitive solution to the problem described above.  The Sealift Overhead Rapid Delivery System (SORDS) represents a viable concept worthy of further study because it uses existing technologies and approaches the problem from a systems perspective.  In addition, SORDS could be incorporated into the Department of Defense's Rapid Deployment Concept or Maritime Prepositioning Force.]]></description>

      <title>SELECTION OF OFFLOADING CONFIGURATION FOR FSO VESSEL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/479745</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The options for cargo offloading crude oil from a floating storage and offloading vessel include the stem-in-tandem (bow-in-tandem), the remote offtake buoy, and the alongside configuration.  Each option should be comparatively evaluated against the relevant agenda, important from the viewpoints of facility operation and maintenance.  No single option fits all criteria.  The information presented in this article is from a study of a converted ultra-large crude carrier (ULCC).  There are several options for the vessel's cargo offloading configuration in relation to the mooring system.  The agenda covers the following critical points: facility operation and maintenance; risk of collision, spread of fire and oil spill; temporary displacements; future expansion; and decommission and abandonment or relocation.  The purpose of the study was to define the initial planning philosophy and to support the later engineering, operational, and maintenance efforts.  The study did not work out detailed design, define detailed procedures for operation and maintenance, or determine the specific equipment required.]]></description>

      <title>DEVELOPMENT OF CONTROL SYSTEM FOR IRON ORE/COAL CONTINUOUS SHIP UNLOADER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/480893</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The world's first iron ore/coal continuous ship unloader is now in operation.  To facilitate optimal use of its features, the unloader employs the most advanced technologies of various control systems, and the following items were taken into consideration in the development of these systems.  The unloader is treated as a material handling system rather than just a machine for handling iron ore/coal from the holds of ship to the piling yard.  Therefore various studies are required regarding operation automation, safety, backward facilities compatibility and operator training.  This paper outlines the details of the control technologies which have been realized on the basis of acquired experiences and results of research, development and evaluation.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Continuous ship unloaders use various types of advanced control system to utilize the mechanical features.  The development of the control system uses the following basic concept.  The unloader is treat as a material handling system from ship holds to the iron ore/coal piling yard, not just as a machine.  Therefore, various studies on operation, automation, safety, matching backyard facility and operator training, etc. are required.  IHI has studied, developed and evaluated a new control system based on acquired experience, and this system has been successfully operating.  This paper describes the new advanced control system.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Recently a ship unloader weighing 1,300 tons was delivered assembled to the St. Johns River Coal Terminal on Blount Island in Jacksonville, Florida. The coal terminal, which serves the St. Johns River Power Park, a joint venture of the Jacksonville Electric Authority and Florida Power and Light Company, began commercial operation in January 1989. The coal terminal's conceptual planning, detailed design and contract bidding packages were prepared by Soros Associates, a New York-based international engineering firm. Soros was also responsible for the bid evaluation, project and construction management.]]></description>

      <title>INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY IN SELF-UNLOADING SHIPS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/439524</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The self-unloading fleet is increasing dramatically and shipyards are working closely with equipment manufacturers to attain the most efficient self-unloading method.  One of the proposed solutions is the new environment friendly pneumatic self-unloader NIV.  The system is flexible and versatile, the pneumatic technique can be applied to several types of ship, from barges to super-Panamax and is suitable for a wide range of commonly transported bulk solids.

      <title>A SELF-DISCHARGING SYSTEM FOR DRY BULK CARGOES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/439525</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article describes the Cargo Scooper self discharging system for dry bulk cargoes, designed by Knaerner Ships Equipment AB, Gothenburg, Sweden.  The Cargo Scooper differs from other systems in that it uses scrapers on the surface of the cargo to feed a system of conveyors and elevators, rather than using the bottom-fed gravity discharge systems favoured by other manufacturers.  Copies are available from Sterling Publications Ltd., 86-88 Edgware Road, London, W2 2YW, UK.]]></description>
