Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of COSCO

It has been more than two decades since the Port of Seattle welcomed to our harbor the first ship flying the flag of the Peoples Republic of China. Since that first visit from the Liulinhai, which came here for a shipment of American wheat, the Port of Seattle and COSCO have been strong business partners and good friends. COSCO's ships have carried much more than cargo over the past 22 years. COSCO ships, and COSCO employees, have helped build relationships as well as     

CIMC——世界集装箱工业的巨人

China International Marine Containers (Group), one of the pioneer container manufacturers and Sino-foreign joint ventures in China, was founded by China Merchants Holdings and the East Asiatic Company Ltd. in January 1980 and put into operation on 22nd September 1982. CIMC became a tri-party joint venture after COSCO joined in. CIMC went to the public in 1993 and has been listed in Shenzhen Stock Exchange market since April 1994. The operation of CIMC started to run as a group structure in 1995.     

海水管道控制阀中与旁路阀门相关的挑战（英文）

Modern processing plants use a variety of control loop networks to deliver a finished product to the market. Such control loops,like control valves, are designed to keep process variables such as pressure, temperature, speed, flow, etc. within the appropriate operating range and to ensure a quality product is produced. All control valves have a bypass so that production can proceed if maintenance is needed for the control valve as part of the control loop. The important point is that in both operation and maintenance situations, the bypass valve and the control valve should have approximately the same flow capacity to provide nearly the same amount of pressure. This paper presents a case study in seawater service on the selection of manual bypass valves for a 16″ control valve in class 150 and titanium material. A 16″ butterfly valve of class 150 was chosen for the control valve bypass, which provided a much higher flow capacity than the control valve. In this paper, four solutions are recommended to achieve the same coefficient value(Cv) for the control and bypass valve. Using the reduced size butterfly valve could be the cheapest and best solution. On the other hand, selecting the same control valve for bypass line is the most expensive but maybe the most reliable solution. Using a flow orifice for throttling could be ranked as the second expensive option and the second reliable one. Selection of butterfly valve for throttling is the second cheapest option, but it has the least reliability. Different parameters such as space and weight saving, cost as well as reliability have been considered in evaluation of different solutions.     

The use of hydrogen as a fuel for inland waterway units

Escalating apprehension about the harmful effects of widespread use of conventional fossil fuels in the marine field and in internal combustion engines in general, has led to a vast amount of efforts and the directing of large capital investment towards research and development of sustainable alternative energy sources. One of the most promising and abundant of these sources is hydrogen. Firstly, the use of current fossil fuels is. discussed focusing on the emissions and economic sides to emphasize the need for a new, cleaner and renewable fuel with particular reference to hydrogen as a suitable possible alternative. Hydrogen properties, production and storage methods are then reviewed along with its suitability from the economical point of view. Finally, a cost analysis for the use of hydrogen in internal combustion engines is carried out to illustrate the benefits of its use as a replacement for diesel. The outcome of this cost analysis shows that 98% of the capital expenditure is consumed by the equipment, and 68.3% of the total cost of the equipment is spent on the solar photovoltaic cells. The hydrogen plant is classified as a large investment project because of its high initial cost which is about 1 billion US$; but this is justified because hydrogen is produced in a totally green way. When hydrogen is used as a fuel, no harmful emissions are obtained.     

Large marine crankshaft offers China a step forward to shipbuilding power

Shipbuilding industry is known as the top of all industries. The world No.1 shipbuilding country has been the long-cherished wish for China. With the continuous increase of economic and technical strengths, China's dream of becoming the world No.1 shipbuilding country seems to come close. However, crank-shaft as the heart of engine which is the heart of large-size ships often makes us in the state of embarrassment. Now, after some twists and turns, in terms of large marine crankshaft, China has broken through the technology barriers set by foreign crankshaft manufacturers and can make our own heart for large-size ships. Though domes-tically produced crankshafts can't meet our demands at the moment, it will give our people more imaginations be-cause Chinese shipbuilding industry has now had the strengths to gallop the world.     

An analysis on China''''s Economic Development Trend in the Next Two Decades

1. China is a participant in as well as a promoter for economic globalization. China has already declared its participation in investment and trade liberalization. It indicates that we have chosen the strategy of participating in economic globalization. China's choice brings     

通力合作 携手共进

On behalf of the Senate of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg it is a great pleasure for me to congratulate China Ocean Shipping (Group) Company on its fortieth anniversary. These four decades have been an impressive story of success for the company. It has become one of the leading players in container shipping, bulk and general cargo transportation and now owns and operates more than 500 merchant     

THE YEAR OF DRAGON,A YEAR OF ENCOURAGING AND CHALLENGING

The Chinese people have just celebrated the Spring Festival, the Year of Dragon. Viewing back to the past year and looking to the future of the new year, I'm full of confidence on China's economy, and as a shipping man, even more delighted to see the recovery of Chinese shipping market and its booming prospects. 1. RAPID AND HEALTHY ECONOMIC GROWTH SUSTAINABLE China has succeeded in keeping its economy at a reasonable growth rate in the past year-the gross domestic product (GDP) for 1999 reached 7.1 per cent, which is very     

SPEECHES EXTRACTED FROM WORLD SHIPPING (CHINA) SUMMIT 2004

China is at a stage which is full of crucial strategic opportunities for its economic development. The basicconditions for rapid development have been roughly provided. Once we take the advantage of this opportunity,the economy will improve. Nevertheless, this period is also one that faces difficulties such as large population, smallfund, relatively less resource and worse environment which have caused the serious bottleneck effect. Improperlyacting, the development opportunity will probably be missed, thus will lead to the stagnancy or turbulence of theeconomy. Therefore, it is urgent that we make use of this opportunity to build up a scientific idea of developmentand change the economic increasing pattern.     

Developing a Computer Program for Detailed Study of Planing Hull＇s Spray Based on Morabito＇s Approach

Recently, Morabito （2010） has studied the water spray phenomena in planing hulls and presented new analytical equations. However, these equations have not been used for detailed parametric studies of water spray around planing hulls. In this paper, a straight forward analysis is conducted to apply these analytical equations for finding the spray geometry profile by developing a computer program based on presented computational process. The obtained results of the developed computer program are compared against existing data in the literature and favorable accuracy is achieved. Parametric studies have been conducted for different physical parameters. Positions of spray apex are computed and three dimensional profiles of spray are examined. It is concluded that spray height increases by an increase in the speed coefficient or the deadrise angle. Ultimately, a computational process is added to Savitsky＇s method and variations of spray apex are computed for different velocities. It is shown that vertical, lateral, and longitudinal positions of spray increase as the craft speed increases. On the other hand, two new angles are defined in top view and it is concluded that they have direct relation with the trim angle. However, they show inverse relation with the deadrise angle.
