Arbetet har svarat mot frågan om hur ett befäls arbetssituation ser ut i dag på bryggan och hur den mängd regler och riktlinjer som finns för vaktgående befäl påverkar hans förmåga att framföra fartyget på ett säkert sätt. För att studera detta har en litteraturstudie utförts där vi studerat transportstyrelsens utgivna haverirapporter samt forskning inom områdena om mänskliga faktorn, fartygsorganisation och sjösäkerhet.   Det som framkommit under arbetets gång är att manskapet ombord de senaste åren allt mer har fått ge vika till förmån för teknik men då reglerna inte följt med i tempot kan det vara så att fartyg i dag inte uppfyller kraven för minimibesättning. Även om vi kan påvisa att befälen har en hög arbetsbelastning går det inte att se varför de handlat som de gjort vid olyckstillfällena. Vidare har konstaterats att det finns utrymme för framtida forskning i ämnet där man exempelvis kan se över hur haverirapporterna är utformade. / This work answered the question about how the situation is today on the bridge for the nautical officers and how the amount of rules and guidelines that exists affects his ability to manoeuvre the ship in a safe way. To study this we have performed a literature study where we studied the Swedish Transport Agency’s published accident investigation reports as well as research in the fields of human error, shipping organization and safety at sea.   Our findings show that the crew on board has been reduced due to technical advancement. However, the rules have not followed the same pace and therefore today’s ships may not fulfil the requirements of minimum manning on board. Although we can tell that the officers have an increased workload we cannot see why they have acted as they did at the time of the accidents. It can also be shown that there is a need for future research where, for example, studies on how the accident investigation reports are designed.

Abstract Marine transportation is a crucial activity in the development of human civilization. Following the track of the history, the focus has been shifted not only on the safety of vessels, but the protection of the ocean environment and the keep of the working space and accommodation for crews. Therefore, the Port State Control (PSC) is getting popular around the world. This paper is trying to introduce the origin, contents, working scope of the Port State Control, and summarize the PSC executive condition of foreign countries, the local area MOU (Memorandum Of Understanding) organizations, the international marine organization, and the regulations of Port State Control. Based on the concept and spirit of Total Quality Control (TQM), i.e. PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Action), the Port State Control (PSC) could be managed smoothly and efficiently, for either the Port State Control Officers (PSCOs) or the marine transportation. In this paper, we introduced the present condition of PSC of our country and the concept of PSC. And an ideal PSC flow chart has been proposed for the Kaohsiung Port and Taiwan, ROC. This thesis is proposing several substantial suggestions for the PSC in Taiwan, ROC. For fulfilling the obligations as a member of the earth village, I do hope these suggestions could be a useful reference for PSCOs in the country.

The goal of this paper is to find out how solar cells can improve energy efficiency on-board M/S Sydfart. The paper is based on a number of energy measurements on board the M/S Sydfart. The solar surface is calculated by measuring the available space for installing solar panels. Global radiation data is taken from STRÅNG's database, the data is then used to calculate the theoretical power produced by the solar cells. Energy efficiency is analysed in two ways. The first analysis focuses on how much of the daily energy usage that can be covered with solar cells. The second analysis focuses on the change of EEOI attainable with solar cells installed. The electrical energy consumption on-board M/S Sydfart, during the summer, is almost entirely covered with solar cells. The paper however shows some disadvantages. During the winter, the produced electrical energy from solar cells are low and an unreasonably large area of solar panels is required to cover the electricity demand. Two scenarios are evaluated. In scenario one, all the space available for the installation of photovoltaic panels is used. This gives a large energy surplus during summer. In scenario two, only half of the surface is used to install solar panel. This results in a smaller energy surplus without any significant loss of usable energy. Given that M/S Sydfart has limited ability to take advantage of energy surplus, the second scenario is recommended. The result shows that energy efficiency will be improved. Depending on the season, EEOI can be improved between 0.5 % and 12%. There is no demand for improvement in EEOI from IMO. It is up to the shipping companies themselves to set internal targets for improvement. / Målet med denna uppsats är att ta reda på hur solceller kan förbättra energieffektiviteten ombord M/S Sydfart. Uppsatsen baseras på ett antal energimätningar ombord M/S Sydfart. Solcellernas yta beräknas med hänsyn taget till tillgänglig yta för att installera solpaneler. Globalstrålningsdata kommer ifrån STRÅNG`s databas, den datan används sedan för att beräkna en teoretisk producerad effekt utav solcellerna. Energieffektiviteten analyseras på två sätt. Den första analysen ser på hur mycket av den dagliga energiförbrukningen som kan tillgodogöras med solceller. Den andra analysen baseras på hur stor för- ändring av EEOI som kan uppnås med installerade solceller. Elenergibehovet ombord M/S Sydfart, under sommarhalvåret, kan nästan helt täckas med solceller. Uppsatsen visar dock en del nackdelar med solceller. Under vinterhalvåret är den producerade elenergin från solcellerna låg och en orimligt stor yta solcellsmoduler behövs för att täcka elenergibehovet. Två scenarion utvärderas. I scenario ett utnyttjas all tillgänglig yta för installation av solcellsmoduler. Detta ger ett stort energiöverskott på sommarhalvåret. I scenario två halveras ytan för solcellsmoduler och energiöverskottet blir då mindre. Med hänsyn till att M/S Sydfart har begränsad möjlighet att ta till vara på energiöverskottet, rekommenderas scenario två. Resultatet visar att energieffektiviteten kommer att förbättras. Beroende på årstid, kan EEOI förbättras mellan 0.5% och 12 %. Något krav på förbättring av EEOI finns inte från IMO. Det är rederierna själva som sätter upp interna mål för förbättring.

The problem of this study was to identify student, faculty, academic administrator, and government educational official perceptions of and preferences for the goals of higher education in Imo-State, Nigeria. The purposes of this study were (1) to identify the major goal areas of colleges in Imo-State; (2) to determine the perceptions and preferences of student, faculty, academic administrators, and government educational officials; (3) to determine whether there are significant divergences of perception and preference among the respondent groups with respect to the goal areas; (4) to develop projections of the probable priorities for goal trends of higher education in Imo-State, based upon the expressed perceptions and preferences of the subjects. In addition, the study involved determining the differences in judgement among and between the groups regarding both perceived and preferred goal areas, through a one-way analysis of variance and Scheffe test.

Tendo como referencial teórico-metodológico um conjunto de ferramentas advindas do pensamento de Michel Foucault e características da cultura surda em sua relação com as tecnologias digitais, a investigação se constituiu em uma abordagem qualitativa de inspirações etnográficas. Os sujeitos da pesquisa pertenciam a um grupo de surdos que, semanalmente, reunia-se em um espaço informal com o intuito de socializar experiências e discutir assuntos relacionados à cultura surda e à surdez. Os encontros, presenciais, totalizaram seis. Durante a semana que antecedia aos encontros, os surdos problematizavam as imagens enviadas pela pesquisadora que abordavam os temas que seriam discutidos e aprofundados. Para a produção de dados, utilizaram-se filmagens, entrevistas e observação direta e participante. A análise efetivada sobre o material de pesquisa permitiu a emergência de dois resultados, a saber: a) Os aplicativos WhatsApp e Imo como ferramentas potencializadoras da interação entre surdos e ouvintes e b) Os encontros informais como potencializadores de aprendizagens e fortalecimento da cultura surda. Tais resultados apontaram que os aplicativos potencializam a comunicação dos surdos e proporcionam aprendizagens, como leitura e escrita da língua portuguesa. Os aplicativos utilizados se tornaram espaços de troca de informações e mensagens, de bate-papo e entretenimento para os surdos do referido grupo. Ademais, permitiu que se estreitassem laços e ampliassem sua interação familiar e social. / The general aim of this present study was to identify the potentialities of the use of smartphone applications - WhatsApp and Imo - for the communication and interaction of a group of deaf people in informal learning spaces. The research was constituted in a qualitative approach of ethnographic inspirations having as theoretical-methodological reference a set of tools coming from the thought of Michel Foucault and of characteristics of the deaf culture in its relation with the digital technologies. The subjects of the research belonged to a group of deaf people who weekly met in an informal space with the purpose of socializing experiences and discussing issues related to deaf culture and deafness. Six personal meetings were totaled. The images sent by the researcher that addressed topics that would be discussed and deepened during the week before the meetings were questioned by the deaf. Filming, interviews and direct observation and participant were used for the production of data. The analysis carried out about the research material allowed the emergence of two results, namely: a) WhatsApp and Imo applications as potential tools for deaf and hearing interaction; and b) Informal meetings as learner enhancers and strengthening the deaf culture. These results pointed out that the applications enhance the communication of the deaf and provide learning, such as reading and writing the Portuguese language. The applications used became information and message exchange, chat and entertainment spaces for the deaf of the group. In addition, it allowed that they narrowed bonds and extended their familiar and social interaction.

In this work was considerable implementation of the adopted international maritime rules and standarts. In case that IMO enclose security of the maritime, decrease of the pollution from ships, legal maritime reguliation, facilitation of the maritime trade, technical maintenance cooperation e.t.c and the size of the material which was discovered was too huge in comparison with master‘s degree, I decided to cut it down work size and using discovered material and methodological methods to examine properly all IMO legal activity in the light of security of maritime. All work consist of three parts. In the first main principles of IMO legislation was analyzed, in the second part – main standart acts and conventions regarding ensuring of maritime security, trird part considerable implementation of the adopted international maritime rules and standarts. In the end of the work conclusions and proposals was made which was obtained during work. Following sources was used during master‘s degree work: IMO Conventions (International Convention for safety of life at sea, 1974 as amended; International Convention on maritime search and rescue, 1979 as amended; International Convention on standarts of training for seafarers, 1978 as amended), IMO Resoliutions, LR resoliution concernig LR addition to international maritime law acts; LR laws: maritime trade law and safety of the maritime trade. Following methodological methods was used in work: analysis, analogy, summarizing, comparison... [to full text]

Vissa typer av cyberattacker har ökat kraftig mellan åren 2015 och 2016, detta uppmärksammas både i land och till sjöss. Med tanke på sjöfartens unika situation är det av intresse att undersöka hur rederier har valt att skydda sig mot cyberattacker. Fyra rederier har intervjuats angående IT-säkerheten på deras fartyg. Resultatet av intervjuerna har sedan ställts mot IMOs riktlinjer släppta år 2016 för att undersöka ifall det finns brister i IT-säkerheten på svenska fartyg. Resultatet visar att det finns brister på flera av rederierna som intervjuats framförallt i form av utbildning av personal. Resultatet visar också att det finns klara kontraster mellan mindre rederier och större rederier, där de mindre rederierna har färre åtgärder på plats medans de större rederierna har fler för att förhindra eller hantera en IT-attack. / Certain types of cyber attacks have increased between 2015 and 2016, this is acknowledged both on land in the shipping sector. Given the unique situation of shipping, it is of interest to investigate how shipping companies have chosen to protect themselves from cyberattacks. Four shipping companies have been interviewed regarding the cybersecurity of their vessels. The results of the interviews have since been compared against IMO's guidelines released in 2016 to investigate whether there are deficiencies in cybersecurity on swedish ships. The results show that there are shortcomings in several of the shipping companies interviewed, primarily in the form of training of personnel. The result also shows that there are clear contrasts between smaller shipping companies and larger shipping companies, where the smaller shipping companies have fewer measures in place while the larger shipping companies have more to prevent or handle a cyberattack.
