美国荣耀号游轮——最大的一艘悬挂美国国旗的游轮

280米长的美国荣耀号游轮是由德国Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven船厂最新建造的。这艘游轮的建造过程可谓一波三折。其最早的船东由于破产使得建造工作中断。直到美国总统布什特许给予该游轮琼斯法案的赦免权（注：该法案要求美国国内货物应由美国籍的船东、水手及美国建造的船舶承运），Norwegian Cruise Lines（NCL）公司决定收购未完工的船体，并转运到德国Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven船厂进行建造。     

充满自信的电力推进游轮

开发电能作为推进电源和船上各种操作的电源已越来越普遍了。过去采用蒸汽来进行的燃油热伴随,现今越来越多地采用电能来实现,除自动阀以外的其他控制阀也是用电而不是用压缩空气作为动力。     

游船 游轮 邮轮

从旅游专业角度出发,游船、游轮、邮轮这三个概念主要基于产品和市场的细分。 1．游船：自然和都市的观光游,如在杭州西湖、天津海河、广州珠江的船舶,以游览为主; 2．游轮：内河和近海休闲游,中高端,如在长江三峡的船舶,以休闲为主;

载客量最大的超级游轮

皇家加勒比国际游轮公司向芬兰阿克尔造船厂订购了一艘能容纳5400名乘客的豪华客轮。该客轮的造价约为九亿欧元，创下了商业造船最高价纪录。这艘名为“海上巨无霸”的客轮重达220，000吨，预计在2009年秋完工。该客轮比皇家加勒比游轮公司向阿克尔船厂订购并已于今年四月份交付使用的339米的“海洋自由号”游轮还要长，这艘巨无霸长360米，宽47米，高65米。     

长江游轮航线布局研究

在分析长江干线航道条件及相关政策的基础上,分析上海—重庆长江旅游航段航线布局所需考虑的长江通航环境、船舶航行和过闸时间、旅游资源吸引力及城市发展水平等重要因素,明确城市资源、港口资源、旅游资源等布局原则。根据船舶航行时间,按照\"昼游夜行\"要求对长江沿线可挂靠港点进行筛选,并结合上述资源条件对港点进行调整,提出停靠点为上海、南通、镇江、南京、安庆、九江、武汉、岳阳、荆州、宜昌、重庆的航线布局方案。本研究成果可为游轮公司选取合适挂靠点、合理地设置航线奠定基础。     

挪威船舶工业概况

一、简史挪威王国地处欧洲北部,斯堪的纳维亚半岛的西半部,西邻大西洋,东接瑞典、芬兰及俄罗斯,南临北海。有岛屿达74000个,海岸线长达13,121英里,有众多的天然良港,非常适于航运。由于其优良的天然条件,挪威很早就建立了船舶工业,19世纪中期起便开始建造钢船,并采用蒸汽机。到1900年建造了35000总吨的船舶,但从此以后挪威造船业始终处于停滞状态。直到50年代初期,由于挪威政府重视并扶植造船业,给予船     

名筆，男人的珠宝

没有人可以反驳,笔和手表是男人的珠宝。如果你不屑一顾地说：现在哪还有人用笔呢？那么我们也只能同样不屑一顾地对你说：对不起,你一定不是个足够成功而且有品位的男人,所以无法理解名笔对于成功男人的重要性。     

挪威出口商寻找新市场

挪威的造船厂商近期接单频繁，订单任务已延伸至2007年，主要承接了大量近海保障船。该国的造船工程师已经具有多年向外成功出口各种类型船舶设计方案的历史，尤其在游轮和客船方面的专业水平更是相当出名。挪威的船舶设备公司不能单独依赖国内市场，他们要不断扩展国外市场，寻求更多的销售渠道。挪威海事出口商会也在积极寻找目标市场拓展业务。     

Norwegian shipping: measuring foreign exchange risk

The primary aim here is an attempt to measure the impact of foreign exchange movements on the operating results of the shipping industry. The issue arises from the imposition of a volatile foreign exchange market on a freight market structure which fixes revenues in US dollars. Despite attempts to shift costs into dollars, some other currency liabilities still remain, making exposure to exchange rate fluctuations inevitable. The contemporary experience of the Norwegian industry is used to analyse the cost structure in terms of currency denomination, the volatility in the real Kroner/US dollar exchange rate, and the sensitivity of the operating results to these fluctuations. This serves to highlight the commercial vulnerability of shipping companies. Exposure can be seen in a positive or negative light depending on the direction of movement in the exchange rate. Operating profits can rise and fall dramatically simply because of these exchange rate movements.     

Challenges and Myths in Norwegian Coastal Zone Management

Abstract

This paper is written in response to a recent publication (Walker, 1973) which questions both the biological basis for wetlands preservation and the usefulnesss of scientific participation in the formulation of management policies. Our major points are that: (1) considerable evidence exists linking wetlands primary production to aquatic secondary production, (2) all available information suggests that large‐scale wetlands destruction results in lowered production of estuarine organisms of interest to man, (3) more than economics needs to be considered in attempts to analyze the procedures by which the wetlands controversy is to be resolved, and (4) uncertainty about the applicability of scientific findings to a particular problem situation does not destroy the usefulness of those findings in reaching a solution to a public controversy.     

Innovation, capabilities and competitive advantage in Norwegian shipping

As a high-cost country, it is believed that Norway has to build its competitiveness in most industries on innovation and knowledge-intensive products. The shipping industry is no exception. It has to be innovative in order to prosper. This unison conclusion, which has been drawn in several research projects during the last 10-20 years, is probably also applicable for companies in other high cost countries. A major issue in this research is how the industry can develop and maintain innovativeness and international competitiveness. The aim of this paper is to discuss the conclusion drawn in previous research concerning how the shipping industry can be innovative. It concludes that shipping companies have to improve their skills and competencies in a stronger interplay between organizations within and without the maritime cluster. This may increase their total capability and innovativeness and create distinctive competitive advantages that are difficult to imitate.

Causes and effects of FDI by the Norwegian maritime industry

This paper analyses foreign direct investments (FDI) in Asia by the Norwegian maritime industry. It focuses on three topics: (1) Why do Norwegian maritime companies invest abroad? (2) What are the effects of maritime foreign direct investments on the Norwegian maritime milieu? (3) What are the effects of these investments on the host country? By analysing specific Norwegian maritime companies, it was found that the FDIs have partly been induced by the instability of the Norwegian policy towards this sector. Several firms also point at the importance of being closer to the Asian market as a significant reason for FDI, and the Norwegian ship equipment industry tends to 'follow' the shipping companies abroad. The domestic effects of FDI are uncertain, and are likely to depend on the motivation behind the investments. Finally, using Singapore as an example, it is argued that the host country effects of FDI tend to be positive.     

Causes and effects of FDI by the Norwegian maritime industry

A theory of replacement in the context of ocean going vessels is discussed. The approach is based upon costs rather than profits, and while there appear to be many difficulties in applying replacement theory to ships it is shown that there are some segments where the theory can still usefully be applied. The effect on replacement resulting from varying important cost parameters is shown and it is found that while fiscal measures have very little effect, capital cost and operating cost profiles have the most important influence. It is concluded that shipowners need to keep themselves fully informed of changes in cost and improvements in technology that may indicate replacement of a vessel somewhat sooner than normal replacement age.     

A transaction cost analysis of Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian shipping

The purpose of the article is to analyse the operation of shipping companies in Finland, Sweden and Norway cross-sectionwise in 1989-1991. These represent three different types of shipping operations in three neighbouring countries in Northern Europe. In the analysis, an apllication of the transaction cosr approach (TCA) is employed. It is shown that finnish shipping is usually very concentrated both in terms of geographical coverage, cargo composition and ownership. In cargo shipping, Finnish shipping firms mainly operate on the 'domestic' routes connecting Finland to the main European markets. Few Finnish firms are operating in highly competitive operations such as cruise shipping and liquid and dry bulk trades. Ownership in shipping is also often institutionalized rather than being in private, independent hands. In Sweden, the hierarchial governance of shipping is less than it is Finland. In certain worldwide trades, such as reefer and car carrier trades, the governance structure could be defined as hierarchial due to high asset specificity and high degree of specialization. In Norway, the shipping industry seems to be strongly market-oriented. The industry is composed of shipping companies, whose existence depends on their cost competitiveness on the shipping market, and is usually not backed up by exclusive hierarchial arrangements. Notable exceptions are the LNG/LPG and car carrier trades. The classification presented principle can easily be extended to other shipping countries, or companywise comparisions, as well.
