Abstract:
The fishing industry is probably one of the most complex and indeterminate of mankind's occupations. Traditionally it has been fragmented into small enterprises, each expert in its own specialty. But modern fishing methods have forced the adoption of the integrated concept, that is, management of the industry from seabed to consumer by single corporate entities or by regulatory agencies. Integration of the fishing industry depends upon long-term and broad-based planning and decision-making. The best, possibly only, methodology for this is the orderly and rational techniques of systems engineering. The author's company has used systems engineering since 1967 for solving fisheries problems as well as for other marine issues. This paper outlines the difficulties facing the fishing industry decision-makers, and illustrates the use of systems engineering in their resolution. Specific examples are cited, and a short program for the estimation of fishing vessel size and cost is given.

Abstract:
This article reviews the growth of the wind industry and the need for engineering expertise and technical innovations for it. Establishing an offshore wind supply chain would spur the development of better ways to manufacture turbine parts, ship them to sea, assemble them, and maintain them. This could create jobs for engineers of all stripes, including civil, electrical, and mechanical engineers. As the offshore wind power industry grows, costs continue to fall, in part because engineers in the industry are developing better and cheaper technologies. The article also highlights that by guaranteeing large and sustained markets for offshore wind, policies can entice large turbine vendors, blade manufacturers, and other major offshore wind vendors to bid on more US projects. After investigating conditions in the industry in Europe and the United States, a research team reported in early 2015 that put-in-place policies to reduce the cost and financial risk of building an offshore wind farm could slash project financing costs and ultimately cut the levelized cost of electricity by 50%. Experience and better logistics are making the European offshore wind supply chain more efficient.

Abstract:
The U.S. market, with its high per-capita income, generous leisure time availability, and open market entry, has become the world's most lucrative market for ocen cruising. Cruise ships sailing from the United States serve six distinct markets: the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Caribbean, Alaska, Mexico, and inland/coastal. With the exception of the Alaska and inland/coastal markets, the trade is served almost exclusively by foreign-flag vessels. The Jones Act, which restricts passenger service between consecutive U.S. ports to U.S.-flag vessels, together with the increased popularity for ocean cruising, has created a demand for U.S.-built/U.S.-manned cruise vessels that can operate in the inland/coastal market. Also, legislation allowing tax deductions for business conventions held aboard U.S.-flag vessels, coupled with a soft market for U.S. new construction and U.S. seagoing labor, has culminated in the potential for an internationally competitive U.S.-flag cruise industry. This paper reviews the current status of the U.S.-flag cruise industry, its operating environment, the rules and regulations that govern its operation, and its probable future.

Abstract:
In today's offshore market some older, smaller, and obsolete semisubmersible drilling rigs are finding a new place in the offshore industry as multi-service vessels capable of an array of tasks. During the spring academic semester at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, the ocean engineering senior design class of 22 students, working with industry and faculty advisors, produced a preliminary design for the conversion of the semisubmersible "Ocean Scout" to a multiservice vessel for operation in the Gulf of Mexico. This report explains the major topics of the project addressed by the class which include vessel additions to create a variable deck load of 3000 long tons, a dynamic positioning system capable of stationkeeping in a one-year, nonhurricane storm event, and an economic analysis of the conversion for a five year project life producing a 38 month payback period.

Abstract:
Ocean engineering is a broad branch of engineering covering all aspects of engineering associated with the design, construction and operation of fixed and floating structures in the marine environment. It differs from naval architecture which traditionally focusses on ships and related ocean vehicles, and is of relevance to engineers in the offshore oil and gas industry.The Australian Maritime College (AMC) commenced running Australia’s first Bachelor of Engineering (Ocean Engineering) degree in 1997, with the first students graduating in 2000. The program was designed to meet the growing need of the Australian offshore oil and gas industry for graduate engineers skilled in the analysis and design of structures and facilities capable of operating in ever-increasing water depths. It builds on the already successful naval architecture degree offered by AMC, and has the first year completely in common.AMC makes use of its uniquely maritime focus and its wide variety of specialist facilities to produce graduates with a strong hands-on approach to complement their theoretical studies. The program features a unique blend of traditional marine and ocean-related subjects with a thorough grounding in hydrodynamics, wave theories, reservoir engineering, drilling technology, well design, offshore operations, oil and gas production technology and sub-sea engineering. As such, it is believed that the syllabus has a composition that is basically unique in the world.To support this new degree, AMC has commissioned the construction of a new Model Test Basin to complement its existing towing tank. This will have a plan form of 35 x 12 m and will be equipped with multi-directional wavemakers, making it ideal for student use, as well as consulting and staff research.The aim of the program is to produce engineering graduates with a broad theoretical background and a practical approach to problem solving. The ocean engineering graduates from AMC will be exceptionally well equipped to pursue successful careers within the international oil and gas industry.This paper describes briefly the various subjects that are unique to the ocean engineering degree and shows how the subject syllabi come together into a coherent program which will produce systems engineers rather than specialists. The course has just recently received Full Accreditation from The Institution of Engineers, Australia (IEAust).

Abstract:
Abstract The “Measuring the Pulse of Earth's Global Ocean” project will attempt to quantify sound levels in what should be the quietest parts of the ocean—the five deepest locations—to gauge the baseline level of sound in these remote ocean areas. Ocean noise from human-made sources of sound (e.g., shipping) can have a detrimental effect on marine animals that use sound to sense their environment. Thus noise can negatively impact the health of marine ecosystems, which are the basis for many sectors of the global “Blue” economy, including commercial fisheries and aquaculture. This project will gather unique baseline data to monitor the “acoustic health” of the oceans. A novel, deep-ocean capable hydrophone-lander system will be deployed at each of these five deep-sea sites (all >7 km deep). The project will involve the collaboration of several U.S. governmental agencies, private industry and NGOs, and international partners to access these global locations. We will collaborate with scientists from each of these five sites to deploy, recover, and analyze this deep ocean acoustic data. Our ocean sound program aspires to develop a robust and inclusive education/outreach program, focusing on the impact of underwater noise on the health of marine ecosystems.

Abstract:
We test whether employment growth in a male worker's initial industry influences earnings growth using the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. We follow workers for 20 years after reporting their first industry, finding that lower employment growth in their initial industry implies substantially lower earnings growth. Notably, after controlling for observable skills, controls for family background and region have no impact on estimates. Effects appear larger for initial occupations that involve more routine or manual tasks as well as for occupations that involve less abstract tasks, but these differences are not statistically significant.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 133-135).
The bunkering industry provides the shipping industry with the fuel oil that the vessels consume. The quality of the fuel oil provided will ensure the safe operation of vessels. Shipping companies under their fuel oil management programme confirm that the quality and quantity of fuel oil provided are as requested. To be certain of the quality and quantity loaded, correctly performed bunkering procedures need to be integrated in the fuel oil management programme. The data collected through them will prove more than useful when a dispute arises either in terms of fuel oil quality or the loaded quantity. Ship emissions to air are a concern of IMO and recently the European Union, as the shipping industry contrary to land-based industries is not yet subject to any regulations to reduce emissions. Sulphur oxides are targeted as they depend on the sulphur content of the fuel oil. Identical limits are set by both the IMO and the EU, but IMO's regulations are yet to be ratified and EU will not accept any vessels travelling within its waters to bum high-sulphur fuel oil from 2010 onwards. Till then, those involved in the matter might have to consider implementing an emissions trading scheme, as in the land-based industries, as a more viable option to capping sulphur content. Every shipowner is aware of the fact that the single most costly and highly volatile running cost paid is the cost of bunkers. The options available to him/her are hedging instruments such as futures and OTC products. When used effectively along with freight futures, although not yet commonly available, shipping companies may reduce their risk exposure and enhance their profits.
(cont.) When purchasing fuel oil from a number of ports, cost savings may be augmented by a carefully improvised bunkering planning, as well as negotiating the price of fuel oil purchased based on its density, aluminum content, viscosity, water content and net specific energy.

This thesis is an analysis of the Global Ship-repair market. This subject is of great interest to all involved in the shipping industry, as it is one of the industry's major components. There are many yards that specialize in ship-repair and bear the necessary equipment and facilities to meet shipowners' needs and specifications. The service mix varies though, depending upon the strategic decisions made by the different shipyards so as to optimize their efficiencies. Different shipyards and geographical regions offer different varieties of services and specialization. Thereby, my aim is to define, analyze, and understand the mechanisms of the ship-repair market. To do so, I will first look on the market as a single unit. I will then segment the whole ship-repair industry into geographical regions, analyze them separately, and compare them. Through this process, I shall establish a way for a shipowner to more appropriately choose the shipyard that best meets his needs. So as to carry out the above analysis, I will have to compare the different yards on a common basis. For that purpose, a dry docking specification for an existing 34,000 dwt bulk-carrier vessel was sent to numerous yards around the globe on request for offers. Collecting data was not trouble-free; some shipyards did not respond to our drydocking specification at all, while others did not have free space to facilitate the vessel. After several attempts, more than thirty offers from around the world were aggregated, providing an ample set of data to carry out the necessary calculations. What follows next is a look into the future trends of the ship-repair market.

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Ocean Engineering, 2003.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 381-392).
The internet-based business (e-business) activities have become a new technological challenge to the container shipping industry (CSI) in recent years. Despite the growing importance of e-business in the CSI, little systematic and theoretical research on e-business has been undertaken so far. This research therefore attempts to understand the potential impacts of e-business on the container shipping industry and to provide carriers with the managerial recommendations responding to the impacts of e-business. An integrated system dynamics model is developed to simulate the potential impacts of e-business on the container shipping industry and to explore the successful managerial strategies for carriers with regard to e-business. In order to increase the confidence of the model, the general business dynamics in the CSI are reviewed and the historical impacts of new technologies on the container shipping industry are analyzed using the framework of technological evolution. Furthermore, the technology strategies of six different e-business models in the CSI are evaluated using the proposed three frameworks to identify the most promising e-business model.
The research finds that the profitability of carriers will be improved in the long term if they successfully develop the logistics service offering (LSO) with e-business in a cost efficient way. However, despite the improved profitability from the LSO and e-business, the container shipping service could be commoditized further unless changes are made to the current practice of expanding the containership capacity. In addition, the improved profits from the LSO and e-business will drive the structural changes in the container shipping industry. In order to improve the carriers' profitability over a long period of time, it is recommended that carriers continue to add new services on top of the container shipping service while expanding the containership capacity more wisely and conservatively.

Abstract:
Biological processes, from the simplest to the most complex, can broadly be classified as those caused by the catalytic action of living entities known as microorganisms or microbes, and those promoted and catalyzed by “lifeless substances” produced by microorganisms, known as enzymes. The two together are often referred to as biocatalysts. The microbial kingdom of living entities consists of all living things with a very simple biological organization. Both microbes and enzymes can be used to promote or selectively achieve a wide range of chemical transformations. Indeed, biocatalysts occupy a unique position in the wide spectrum of catalysts used in organic technology and synthesis. One of the chief beneficiaries of the rising emphasis on environmentally friendly processes is the enzyme, for it is being increasingly pressed into service to generate technologies that are both highly selective and pollution free. As catalysts, enzymes accelerate the rates of reactions at milder conditions, are highly selective, are biodegradable, and can be used in “free” solution form or as immobilized heterogeneous catalysts. The last feature, their use in immobilized form, has been a major factor in the movement of the enzyme from laboratory to industry. Two main shortcomings of the conventional enzyme that have limited its application in organic synthesis are its restriction to reactions in the aqueous phase and to very mild temperatures and pressures. Research in the last few years has “released” the enzyme from these restrictions (see Govardhan and Margolin, 1995; Adams et al., 1995). Thus now it is possible to use enzymes in aqueous solutions containing water-miscible organic cosolvents, aqueous organic biphasic mixtures, and anhydrous organic solvents. Research has also uncovered microorganisms from a variety of unconventional habitats such as the biosphere and the depths of the oceans that have the unique ability to accomplish chemical transformations at extreme conditions covering a wide range of temperatures, pressures, and salt concentrations. Hence it seems almost certain that enzymes will play an increasingly important role in industrial organic synthesis.

At a global scale, ocean zoning and MPAs are being pursued in many processes through a variety of governmental, inter-governmental (e.g. UN agencies, regional bodies), with significant input from non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Ocean industries, e.g. oil and gas, shipping, fisheries, aquaculture, etc. are the principle user group affected by ocean zoning. Important new ocean uses are under development as well, e.g. offshore wind, ocean energy, carbon sequestration. The creation of ocean zones, such as MPA networks, will have major effects on industry access to marine space and resources, with significant implications for exploration, development, production and transport. It is essential that the industry constructively engage with marine spatial management efforts and stakeholders to ensure that the process is well informed and balanced. This will increase the potential for industry to respect the management regulations of ocean areas often far removed from the reach of governments. Unfortunately, industry is often not present at key ocean zoning developments, especially at the international level, and is not engaged in a constructive, coordinated manner that brings together the range of industries operating in the marine environment. Barriers to industry involvement in marine spatial management include: 1) Lack of understanding of the movement and momentum behind ocean zoning efforts; 2) Limited engagement in the multi-stakeholder processes where zoning is moving most rapidly, e.g. Convention on Biological Diversity, because industry is engaged in sectoral processes; 3) Lack of means for engaging the broader ocean business community on marine management and sustainability issues, particularly at a global level. This paper will outline the need, opportunity and progress in creating proactive, constructive industry leadership and collaboration on ocean zoning, including: 1) Developing an understanding of marine spatial management issues, stakeholders and process; 2) Actively engaging in key international multi-stakeholder processes that are pursuing MPAs and other zoning efforts; 3) Building constructive relationships among ocean industries and other ocean zoning stakeholders; 4) Creating practical experience by constructively engaging in ocean zoning developments in a specific regions.

Abstract:
Abstract Machine learning is gaining rapid popularity as a tool of choice for applications in almost every field. In the oil and gas industry, machine learning is used as a tool for solving problems which could not be solved by traditional methods or for providing a cost-effective and faster data driven solution. Engineering expertise and knowledge of fundamentals remain relevant and necessary to draw meaningful conclusions from the data-based models. Two case studies are presented in different applications that will illustrate the importance of using engineering domain knowledge for feature extraction and feature manipulation in creating insightful machine learning models. The first case study involves condition-based monitoring (CBM) of pumps. A variety of pumps are employed in all aspects of the oilfield life cycle, such as drilling, completion (including hydraulic fracturing), production, and intervention. There is no well-established method to monitor the pump fault states as they are operating based on sensor feedback. As a result, maintenance is performed either prematurely or reactively, both of which result in wasteful downtime and unnecessary expense. A machine learning based neural network model is used for identifying different fault states in a triplex pump from measured pressure sensor data. In the second case study, failures of mooring lines of an offshore floating production unit are predicted from the vessel position data. Identifying a damaged mooring line can be critical for the structural health of the floating production system. In offshore floating platforms, mooring line tension is highly correlated to a vessel’s motions. The vessel position data is created from running coupled analysis models. A K-Nearest-Neighbor (KNN) classifier model is trained to predict mooring line failures. In all the case studies, the importance of combining a deep understanding of the physics of the problem with machine learning tools is emphasized.

Abstract:
Abstract The API 20S Standard is designed to play a crucial role in leveraging Additive Manufacturing (AM) to foster innovation in the oil and gas industry. The paper, in association with the standard, will facilitate the understanding of how AM will enable equipment design improvements, faster prototyping, and better inventory management. By way of discussing the progress, challenges, and lessons learned from the standardization process, the paper aims to encourage a safer, broader, and faster adoption of AM technologies in the mainstream oil and gas applications. The paper will summarize the streamlining process, feedback from the API 20S task group, and current status of the standardization efforts. Additionally, upcoming challenges and the potential for the oil and gas industry industries to contribute to the standard will be summarized. The paper will also showcase a novel tiered approach (Additive Manufacturing Specification Levels) to allow the users of the document to match different levels of criticality.
