Year: 2011 Language: english Author: Lloyds Matitime Academy Genre: Reference book Format: PDF Quality: OCR without errors Pages count: 78 Description: The purpose of this module is to introduce the student to the general world of the shipping industry and the myriad of different authorities and organisations that influence the daily operation of ships and cargoes. Depending on the reference source and measure used, somewhere between 95 per cent (by weight) and 99 per cent (by volume) of all goods have, at some point, been transported by sea as part of their life history. Such trade represents a truly huge investment in terms of time and money and global shipping has a major significance to most countries both in terms of wealth generation and political importance. As can be imagined, with such a vast amount of trade, competition in the market place can be fierce. Shipping operations vary from the immensely complex and highly computerised, such as east/west container shipping with huge ships carrying thousands of containers and millions of dollars worth of goods, to the relatively simple operations of an owner/operator running a small tug in a local harbour. In all cases, the primary objective for both parties is to provide a service that delivers what the client needs at an economic price. In order to regulate this trade and market place there tend to be two types of influence; authorities and industry organisations. The authorities tend to produce prescriptive, compulsory regulations whilst industry organisations tend to promulgate information and promote good practice. Both have their role to play in the world of ship operations and the superintendent needs to know how this all fits together, and where to go for assistance as and when required. Ships are governed, in terms of their standards, by the regulations of the flag state - the state under whose laws the vessel is registered or licensed. Some flag states take the responsibility of setting and maintaining standards seriously, and some do not. In either event, the international community sets general standards (based on the lowest common denominator of what is achievable) through the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).

Description: The purpose of this module is to introduce the student to the general world of the shipping industry and the
myriad of different authorities and organisations that influence the daily operation of ships and cargoes.
Depending on the reference source and measure used, somewhere between 95 per cent (by weight) and
99 per cent (by volume) of all goods have, at some point, been transported by sea as part of their life history.
Such trade represents a truly huge investment in terms of time and money and global shipping has a major
significance to most countries both in terms of wealth generation and political importance.
As can be imagined, with such a vast amount of trade, competition in the market place can be fierce. Shipping
operations vary from the immensely complex and highly computerised, such as east/west container shipping
with huge ships carrying thousands of containers and millions of dollars worth of goods, to the relatively simple
operations of an owner/operator running a small tug in a local harbour. In all cases, the primary objective for
both parties is to provide a service that delivers what the client needs at an economic price.
In order to regulate this trade and market place there tend to be two types of influence; authorities and
industry organisations. The authorities tend to produce prescriptive, compulsory regulations whilst industry
organisations tend to promulgate information and promote good practice. Both have their role to play in the
world of ship operations and the superintendent needs to know how this all fits together, and where to go for
assistance as and when required.
Ships are governed, in terms of their standards, by the regulations of the flag state - the state under whose laws
the vessel is registered or licensed. Some flag states take the responsibility of setting and maintaining standards
seriously, and some do not. In either event, the international community sets general standards (based on the
lowest common denominator of what is achievable) through the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).
