I. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
The Maritime Transportation System is global in nature, in that it services world trade by
connecting markets in different parts of the world, moving 90 per cent of cargoes and
commodities to all corners of the world at comparatively low cost when compared with the value
of the goods being shipped.
It benefits from a well-established and comprehensive, international regulatory regime
for safe and environmentally sound maritime transportation, delivering by far the world‟s
cleanest, least polluting service for the mass transport of cargoes, and with industry actors
committed to environmental protection.
It also provides a unique platform for co-operation between Governments, international
and regional organizations, industry actors and many other maritime stakeholders. Modern
society fundamentally relies on the Maritime Transportation System and benefits from its smooth
operation. Indeed, modern society has become accustomed to a relatively inexpensive, yet
reliable and convenient freight handling system.
At the same time, the maritime transport industry, because of its globalized nature, has no
specific home and tends to be “invisible” in people‟s daily lives. Ships spend their working lives
out of sight – sailing the seas and oceans between different countries and legal jurisdictions, very
often far away from their country of registry, in support of the global economy. Yet international
maritime transport employs over 1.5 million seafarers and many more port and logistics
personnel, who are responsible for the safe and reliable delivery of food, raw materials, energy
and consumer goods to the world‟s seven billion people every day: a relatively “invisible”
service, but one which is, nevertheless, an indispensable component of the world economy.
Maritime transport exists in conjunction with the many shore-side infrastructures,

services and personnel for cargo handling and delivery and for the financial and support services
essential to maintain an efficient – i.e. cost effective, reliable and seamless – operation. As such,
the Maritime Transportation System is a vital link in an international logistics chain, moving
cargo across the world at the service of global trade, economic development and growth. By the
same token, all actors in the chain are equally essential for the Maritime Transportation System
to work cohesively.

I. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:
Energy efficiency will continue to improve and the role of renewable energy sources will
undoubtedly grow. But there are physical and financial barriers to how quickly the global energy
system can be transformed, especially as many low-carbon technologies are currently at varying
stages of maturity and expense.
Oil and gas companies will continue to invest in new sources of supply as well as in
researching and developing low-carbon energy sources and technologies. Some may look into,
advanced biofuels, other types of renewables and/or carbon capture and storage. And the
industry will play its part in further encouraging efficient use of energy. We recognize that we
have a role to play in the transition to sustainability and that meeting the energy needs,
efficiently and operating responsibly are part of our license to operate.
While hydrocarbon liquids offer the highest energy density currently available for large
scale use in maritime transportation systems, what does operating responsibly with mean?
The first requirement is not to spill it. This is a responsibility that the oil and gas industry
shares and IPIECA has been working very closely together with the IMO on the global initiative
for oil spill prevention and response. This initiative brings industry, the IMO and governments
together to promote the ratification of international conventions and improve local capacity and
capability in oil spill prevention and response. We launch our third region this year, added the
ASEAN countries to West and Central Africa and also a Caspian programme. We have also
produced an extensive oil spill report series providing guidance and good practice across a broad
range of prevention and response topics. We will be concluding a major update to this series by
the end of next year.
The second responsibility is to minimize the energy required to bring fit for purpose fuels
to market. Like all industries there is a clear business case for improving energy efficiency from
the economic, environmental and social points of view. The shipping industry itself has made
significant progress over the years in terms of the fuel efficiency of the vessels, but also in terms
of their configuration to optimize the energy intensity of cargo movement as a whole. Oil and
gas production and oil refining became progressively more energy intensive through the 1990s.
BMTC2015 SET2
This is because it has been increasingly necessary to drill deeper to find and produce oil and gas,
to use secondary and enhanced oil and gas recovery techniques, and to exploit heavier oil
deposits and older reservoirs. In refining there is a demand to process greater volumes of crude,
whilst also converting more of that crude into light end products, and reducing the environmental
impacts of fuels through energy intensive processes such as greater desulphurization. These
enhancements consume more energy, and will to some degree offset benefits brought about by
incoming sulphur regulation.
IA. Match the words in Column A with their meaning in Column B.
Column A ColumnB
 Barrier a. when something changes from one form or state to

another
 Transition b. when something bad is stopped from happening
 Prevention c. to reduce something to the smallest possible
amount or degree
 Minimize d. needing a lot of energy
 Energey intensive e. problems that prevent something to happens
IB. Are the following statement True or False?
 There are barriers to how quickly the global energy system can be transformed.
 Oil and gas companies will continue to invest in new sources of supply but not in
researching and developing low-carbon energy sources and technologies.
 Currently, there is not enough hydrocarbon liquids available for large scale use in
maritime transportation system.
 The IMO and governments are working together to prevent oil spill.
 Through 1990s, oil and gas production required a lot of energy.
IC. Answer the following questions.
 What are the other types of renewable resources called?

 What are the responsibilities the oil and gas industry shares?
 What countries are added to the region which is launched this year?
 What do an extensive oil spill report series provid?

I. Read the passage about “What is a port city?” and answer the questions that follow:
What is a port city?
How is a port distinguished from a harbour? They are clearly different. Harbour is a
physical concept, a shelter for ships. Port, on the other hand, holds an economical concept, a
centre of land –sea exchange which requires good access to hinterland. It is landward access
which is productive of goods for export and demands import.
Port cities become industrial, financial and political capitals because of theirwater
connections and the urban connections which arise there and later develop railways, highways
and air routes. Water transport means cheap access and chief basis of all port cities. London,
New York. Shangri, Istanbul, Jakarta, Philadelphia and Tokyo are some examples of world’s
biggest cities which began as ports. However, since they have grown disproportionately in other
respects their port functions are no longer dominant.
Port functions, more than anything else, make a city cosmopolitan. A port city is open to
the world. Its races, cultures and ideas as well as goods from a variety of places mix and enrich
each other and the life of the city. The smell of the sea and the harbour, the sound of the vessels
or the moving tides are the symbols of their multiple links with the wide world.
No city can simply be a port but must be involved in a variety of other activities. The port
function of a city involves distributing its raw materials in many other forms. Ports take
advantage of the need for breaking up the bulk material where the water and land transport meet
and where loading and unloading cost can be minimised. Examples are oil refining and ore
refining which are commonly located at ports. All ports handle, unload, sort, alter, repack and
reship most of what they receive. A city may still be regarded as a port city when it becomes
involved in a great range of functions not immediately involved with ships or docks.

I. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
Lighthouses occupy a special place in the history of modern Australia. They stand as
monuments to the transformation of the nation from a colonial outpost to a prosperous society.
For millions of people, lighthouses were the first sign of civilisation after a long sea voyage to a
new home. For others, they are grim reminders of the sea’s dangers. Modern technology has
made many lighthouses redundant, but the buildings still evoke a special passion. They remind
us of a time when ships ruled the world.
Lights for navigation have existed for more than 3,000 years. Their purpose has been to
show ships where they are and to guide them into safe harbours or to warn them of rocks and
reefs that could destroy them. Although preventing loss of life has always been aconsideration, it
is the preservation of ships and cargoes that has been the real driving force behind lighthouse
construction.
Lighthouses evolved from a fire on a hilltop to towers engineered to withstand any force
the sea could deliver, with beams of light that could be seen for 50 km. They reached their zenith
during the first half of the twentieth century but by the end of the same century their future had
become uncertain. Today satellite navigation technology is taking the place of the lighthouse as
the safe, economic and reliable way to navigate the oceans of the world.
The next challenge in lighthouse construction was to find a way to build towers in
shallow waters on a sandy seabed. This was achieved with the development of pile lighthouses,
made from either wood or iron with the piles being driven into the seabed. The first tower of
thistypewas built in 1841 at the mouth of London’s Thames River. But itwas the USA which
became the largest user of this type of lighthouse.

I.Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
Tides are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. This attraction-force
causes the waters to swell out the moon in a high tide. At the same time, on the far side of the
earth, the moon’s attraction is at its weakest and the waters on that side will swell away from the
moon in an equal and opposite high tide. Within the 24-hour-period two high tides arise, with
two low tides in between them. The sun has a gravitational effect on the earth, too. The effect of
the sun’s gravity on the tides is approximately half of that of the moon because the sun is at a far
greater distance from the earth. towards Every other week, at new and full moon, when the sun
and the moon are both in line with the earth, the two gravitational forces are added together, and
exceptionally strong tides, called Spring-tides, are produced. In the weeks that lie in between,
when the sun and the moon are at 90 degrees to each other, at the first and third quarters of the
moon, the pull of the sun will cancel out half of the moon’s gravitational effect, and weak tides,
called Neap tides, will occur. This theoretical pattern does not occur in every part of the world.
The shape of a continent may prevent water from flowing uninterruptedly across the surface of
the planet, and this has complex effects on the regularity of tides. In some places there are four
high tides within 24 hours, while only one high tide and one low tide a day in other areas. There
are places on the ocean’s surface where all the tidal forces cancel each other out. In restricted
areas the tides may be almost imperceptible, while in other areas enormous ranges – differences
between high and low tides – may occur.
Tides are measured from chart datum, and levels are always given at average ( mean )
heights. The Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT) is the lowest tide that has ever been recorded in
that area. Highest high tides and lowest low tides are called Spring tides. Highest low tides and
lowest high tides are called Neap tides. When the tide is turning we speak of Slack tide. So, at
Low Slack the tide is about to rise; at High Slack the tide is about to fall. This latter tide is
especially important to the mariner, since it is the best tide to leave and proceed to open sea.

PREMINISTRY OF TRANSPORT
ENGLISH
Total (100 Marks)
The art of navigation is taking a ship from place to place safely, quickly and
economically. To do this properly; the ship's position must be found frequently. In the
interest of safety all observed positions should, if possible, be checked.
When in sight of land, a ship's position may be found by taking visual bearings of
land-marks, such as towers, buildings and hill-tops, or of sea-marks, such as buoys and other
floating beacons. In fog or mist the ship's radar may be used to observe bearings of land or
sea-marks. In shallow water a ship's position may be found from soundings by which the
depth of water under the ship's bottom or keel is found.
When the ship is out of sight of land, her position may be found by observing the sun,
the moon or stars, with a sextant. When near a coast or in the ocean, Medium Frequency
Direction Finding (MFDF) is often used to find the ship's position. The Decca Navigator,
Loran or a satellite navigation system can also be used.
The direction in which a ship is travelling is indicated by a compass, either magnetic
or gyroscopic. The compass is used to set the ship's course. The speed at which a ship is
travelling is measured by a log. The unit of distance used by navigators is the nautical mile
(6080 feet or 1852 metres). The unit of speed is the knot or nautical mile per hour. For short
distances the cable, or one-tenth (1/10) of a nautical mile, is the unit used. For measuring the
depth of the sea, the fathom (6 feet) is the nautical unit of length. A sextant, which measures
the angle between the sun or a star and the horizon, is used to find the ship's position. A
chronometer and a nautical almanac are also required. A chronometer is an accurate time-
piece and the nautical almanac is a book of tables giving astronomical data necessary for
finding position.

Orders to the helmsman, who steers the ship, are given by the officer of the watch. The
officer orders the helmsman to turn the wheel (or helm) to port or starboard and to steady the
ship on the new compass course. It is stated as a compass point or in three-figure notations in
degrees. The helmsman repeats all orders given to him so that the officer knows that his
orders have been understood.
When the helmsman has completed his turn at the wheel, he states clearly the course
to be steered to the relieving helmsman. He also repeats the course to the officer of the watch
when reporting that he has been relieved.
When the ship is on voyage, the wind and waves, as well as the action of the
propeller, tend to cause the direction in which is heading to change. The helmsman, therefore,
must counter the swing of the ship by applying the rudder in the reverse direction of that of
the swing of the ship.
The art of steering a ship requires the helmsman to keep a very close watch on the
compass and to turn the wheel as soon as the compass indicates that the ship is turning off
course. An experienced helmsman is able to anticipate how the ship behaves. He is, therefore,
able to keep the ship on a straight course, and so save time on voyage. Most ships are
equipped with gyrocompasses. A gyrocompass is an electromechanical instrument. But every
ship is equipped with a magnetic compass the action of which is dependent upon the
magnetism of the earth. The rudder fitted at the stern of the ship is turned by the steering
engine. It is operated by the helmsman whenever he turns the wheel. If the steering engine
fails, it is necessary to use an emergency steering system with which every ship must be
equipped.

The main structure of the ship is hull which must be watertight and fitted
superstructure above the hull for accommodated. Within the hull are supported by the tween
decks or platforms on which the cargo rests. The uppermost platform or the upper deck,
covers the holds in which cargo is stowed. Mostly heavy cargoes are stowed in lower hold
which is more strength than tween decks and upper decks. Cargoes are loaded and discharged
either by cranes on the quay or by the ship’s derricks. Derricks are operated by winches. The
derricks are fitted to masts which stand on the upper deck. The cargo passes into or out of the
holds through cargo hatches. For the safety of crew, railings or bulwarks are fitted side of the
ship.
At sea, the ship is controlled from the bridge by the captain and navigating
officers. The front part of a ship is called the bow and the rear part the stern. Funnel is fitted
near the bridge. Smoke and gases from engine room pass through the funnel to the air. The
engine is fitted near the bottom of the ship in the engine room. The engine drives the
propeller at the stern of the ship for moving of ship. The main and auxiliary engines situated
in the engine room are controlled by engineers in engine control room. The anchors and
cables and the windlass are located in the bow of the ship.

In ship building, Ships cost a lot of money to build depend on type and size of ship.
There are many kinds of ships building due to their purpose to use. A general cargo vessel
costs several million pounds and a giant tanker can cost over 40 million pounds and so on.
One reason for this is the high cost of steel and other materials used in ship building. Another
reason is the high cost of labour.
A modern shipyard is designed for building ships as cheaply and quickly as possible.
Many of the old processes have disappeared or been combined into one fully mechanized
process on evolution of technology on steel and welding use in ship building. Machines are
now used instead of men. Today, ships can be built about sixteen months and costs can be
kept to a minimum.
Ships are designed by naval architects. The largest shipping companies have their
own naval architects. In Europe and Japan, shipyards employ naval architects to design a ship
for a customer, or offer basic designs which can be varied to suit the customer’s needs. Ship
owners may also go to the independent firms of shipping consultants and ask their naval
architects to design a ship for them in their proposed trading area, intended carrying cargoes
and some limitations.
When ship owners decide to order a new ship, they tell the naval architects the cargo
they want the ship to carry. They also tell him what routes the ship will go and the desired
speed. Then ship can classify into container, general cargo ship, bulk carrier, tanker, and
passenger and so on. They put limits on the ship’s dimensions and on the price that they
prepared to pay.
The ship must also comply with the rules of the classification society and
international regulations set upon the ship buildings. Economic, engineering and safety
factors all govern the design of a ship must be concerned.

Some of the most amazing navigators in the world prior to the development of the magnetic
compass were the people of Oceania. Long before Columbus and Magellan and the European
age of exploration, a nation of seafarers had already discovered and colonized the vast expanse
of Pacific Islands. Some 6,000 years ago, seafarers left islands in eastern Indonesia and the
Philippines to branch into the western Pacific. Archaeologists trace their migrations by the
cultural materials they brought with them. Shell hooks, coral files, and bone tattooing needles
have been found in sites from the Bismark Archipelago, near New Guinea. Scientists call these
early seafarers the Lapita people. Adzes and other cutting tools, chipped from obsidian was
evidently one commodity in an extensive network of trade that connected the islands of the
Lapita peoples until the dispersal of the culture in 500 BCE. But when the Greeks were still
making short hops between islands in the Aegean, Lapita navigators were making long, open-sea
passages without charts, compasses, or instruments. That would be like you travelling across the
country without a map.
Over time, as the Lapita people colonized more islands, these settlers developed a unique
set of languages and cultural traits, which today distinguish Micronesia from Polynesia and
Melanesia, the two other cultural areas of Oceania.
Then about 2,000 years ago they voyaged into the eastern Pacific, making the 1,800-mile
windward passage to the Marquesas Islands. Later, perhaps following the migratory flight paths
of birds, they discovered and colonized Tahiti, Hawaii, New Zealand, and tiny Easter Island, a
feat of seafaring as great as any discovery by a European explorer. Navigators using just the
stars, the ocean swells, and the flight paths of birds were making epic ocean voyages in sailing
canoes at a time when most Europeans were content to stay in the safety of their villages.

In the coastal waters of the U.S, a nation's leftovers have been discarded. Derelict ships,
concrete blocks, scrapped cars, army tanks, tyres filled with concrete and redundant planes litter
the sea floor. However, this is not waste disposal, but part of a coordinated, state - run
programme. To recently arrived fish, plants and other sea organisms, these artificial reefs are an
ideal home, offering food and shelter.
Sea-dumping incites widespread condemnation little surprise when oceans are seen as
“convenient" dumping grounds for the rubbish we have created but would rather forget
.However, scientific evidence suggests that if we dump the right things, sea life can actually be
enhanced. And more recently, purpose-built structures of steel or concrete have been employed _
some the size of small apartment blocks_ principally to increase fish harvests .The choice of
design and materials for an artificial reef depends on where it is going to be placed. In areas of
strong currents, for example, a solid concrete structure will be more appropriate than ballasted
tyres. It also depends on what species are to be attracted. It is pointless creating high-rise
structures for fish that prefer flat or low-relief habitat. But the most important consideration is
the purpose of the reef. In the U.S, where there is a national reef plan using cleaned up rigs and
tanks, artificial reefs have mainly been used to attract fish for recreational fishing or sport-diving
But there are many other ways in which they can be used to manage the marine habitat. For as
well as protecting existing habitat, providing purpose-built accommodation for commercial
species (such as lobsters and octopi) and acting as sea defences, they can be an effective way of
improving fish harvests.
Japan, for example, has created vast areas of artificial habitat - rather than isolated reefs
– to increase its fish stocks. In fact, the cultural and historical importance of seafood in Japan is
reflected by the fact that it is a world leader in reef technology; what's more, those who construct
and deploy reefs have sole rights to the harvest. In Europe, artificial reefs have been mainly
employed to protect habitat. Particularly so in the Mediterranean where reefs have been sunk as
physical obstacles to stop illegal trawling, which is destroying sea grass beds and the marine life
that depends on them. “If you want to protect areas of the seabed, you need something that will
stop trawlers in their tracks,” says Dr. Antony Jensen of the Southampton Oceanography Centre.
Italy boasts considerable artificial reef activity. It deployed its first scientifically planned reef
SET - 12
using concrete cubes assembled in pyramid forms in 1974 to enhance fisheries and stop trawling.
And Spain has built nearly 50 reefs in its waters, mainly to discourage trawling and enhance the
productivity of fisheries. Meanwhile, Britain established its first quarried rock artificial reef in
1984 off the Scottish coast, to assess its potential for attracting commercial species.
But while the scientific study of these structures is a little over a quarter of a century old,
artificial reefs made out of readily available materials such as bamboo and coconuts have been
used by fishermen for centuries. And the benefits have been enormous. By placing reefs close to
home, fishermen can save time and fuel. But unless they are carefully managed, these areas can
become over-fished. In the Philippines, for example, where artificial reef programmes have been
instigated in response to declining fish populations, catches are often allowed to exceed the
maximum potential new production of the artificial reef because there is no proper management
control.

Navigation is the art and science of maneuvering safely and efficiently from one point to
another. The word navigation comes from the Latin navis which means boat, and agire which
means guide , so traditionally navigation referred to the ability to guide ships from one place to
another. Today we use the term navigate whenever anyone wants or needs to go anywhere by
any means. A hiker navigates through the woods. A navigator in an airplane gets us from one
place to the next by way of the sky. A kayaker navigates his way through the mangrove swamp.
Your mother navigates to the store when she drives to town to buy groceries. Anytime anyone
needs to get from one point to another point, they are navigating.
In this book we're going to look at the history and practice of navigation starting way back in
time . In the first chapter we'll look at examples of how and why people many, many thousands
of years ago made their way from one place to another whether by sailing from one island to
another or because they were chasing mammoths across a land bridge that linked two continents.

The Far East and the Silk Road comes from the travels of Marco Polo. This amazing, intrepid
traveler was born in thirteenth-century Venice, a powerful trading city in Italy. Marco’s father
and uncle were among the first European traders to make their way east all the way to China
along the Silk Road. When they came back to Venice, part of their mission was to obtain certain
items like letters and some oil from the Lamp at the Holy Sepulchre from the Pop in Rome.
These items had been requested by Kublai Khan, the Mongol ruler of what was the largest
empire in the world, which included China. When they set out for the Far East again, they took
along 17-year old. Marco Polo traveled throughout Asia for the next 24 years. He became a great
friend and advisor to Kublai Khan. He served in his court and was sent on missions to Burma,
India, and throughout China. A gifted Linguist, he mastered four languages, which helped in his
service to the Khan. We know about a great deal about Marco Polo’s travels even though they
happened over 700 years ago because they were recorded in a book. Within a year of returning to
Venice, Marco Polo found himself in prison in Genoa after being captured by the Genoans
during a sea battle. Venice and Genoa were fierce rival Italian city-states and were always
competing for control of the Silk Road trade before the goods entered Europe.

Around the turn of the fourteenth century, the first accurate coastal sailing charts-called portolan
charts-were developed. These probably began as maps drawn from the written descriptions found
in pilot books, which were known as portolani in Italian (hence the name portolan). Pilot books
were sailing and harbor guides summarizing-in words-the accumulated knowledge of generations
of sailors.
Portolans were oriented north and included a wind rose that looked a lot like a compass.
A wind rose was divided into eight equal directional points representing the primary wind
directions, which corresponded to N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and NW. All sailors knew their
winds. With the development of the compass, a network of rhumb lines were added. These lines
crisscrossed all major bodies of water and radiated from a number of wind roses spread about the
map. A sailor would set his course on one or several of these lines until he reached landfall.
In 1375 the Catalan Atlas, which gathered information from a number of portolans and
placed them on six maps, was published. This atlas showed the extent of the known word and
combined the detail and accuracy of portolan charts with the latest scientific information. Unlike
other portolans, inland towns and rivers were drawn on these atlas maps. For the first time, maps
were being drawn to be useful to all travelers.

I. Instruction: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
For thousands of years, humans have looked at the skies and dreamed of flying. Early attempts to fly, using
wings made from feathers, were unsuccessful and in many cases ended in disaster. The use of hot air and
light gases eventually allowed humans to reach for the skies, but it was not until the early 1900s that gliders
and then powered planes fully realised man’s dream to fly.
The first successful air passengers were not actually humans at all. In 1783, the Montgolfier brothers sent a
duck, a sheep and a rooster up in their new invention: the hot air balloon. The flight was a success. The
balloon climbed to a height of 6,000 feet and travelled more than a mile. This was soon followed by the first
manned flight, which took place in Paris on 21st November 1783.
Although hot air balloons enabled people to fly freely in the air, they did not allow much control over
direction. The man who first proposed an effective alternative to the balloon was George Cayley (1773-
1857), who designed many different versions of gliders, including biplanes and gliders with tails. Cayley
understood two important principles of flight: firstly, he was aware that air flow over the wings was crucial
for producing flight, and therefore wing shape was an important factor; he also knew that any long flight
would need an additional, essential ingredient – power.
In the early 1900s, two American brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, began to create their own version of
the glider. Using the results of research carried out by Cayley and other pioneers, as well as their own
experiments using wind tunnels, the brothers finally came up with a design for an engine-driven propeller
system that would pull an airplane forward and create enough lift for it to fly. On 17th December 1903, at
Kitty Hawk in North Carolina, the first heavier-than-air flight took place, when Orville piloted the world’s
first airplane, the Flyer. The flight covered 20 feet and lasted 12 seconds.
This first powered flight led to several important technological developments during the twentieth century,
including the invention of the jet engine, large passenger planes and supersonic flight. Just over a century
after the Wright Brothers’ flight, a new milestone was set on 21st June 2004, when a rocket plane called
Space Ship One flew to the edge of space and returned safely to Earth. None of these achievements,
however, would have been possible without the efforts of the early pioneers who dared to believe that one
day man’s dream to fly would become a reality.

In many countries deregulation has helped to drive the boom of trade. But, behind the scenes, a
series of technological innovations known broadly as containerisation and intermodal transportation
has led to swift productivity improvements in cargo-handling. Forty years ago, the process of exporting
or importing involved a great many stages of handling, which risked portions of the shipment being
damaged or stolen along the way. The invention of the container crane made it possible to load and
unload containers without capsizing the ship and that adoption of standard container sizes allowed
almost any box to be transported on any ship. By 1967, dual-purpose ships, carrying loose cargo in the
hold and containers on the deck, were giving way to all-container vessels that moved thousands of
boxes at a time.
The shipping container transformed ocean shipping into a highly efficient, intensely
competitive business. But getting the cargo to and from the dock was a different story. National
governments, by and large, kept a much firmer hand on truck and railroad tariffs than on charges for
ocean freight. This started changing, however, in the mid-1970s, when America began to deregulate its
transportation industry. First airlines, then road hauliers and railways, were freed from restrictions on
what they could carry, where they could haul it and what price they could charge. Big productivity
gains resulted. Between 1985 and 1996, for example, America’s freight railways dramatically reduced
their employment, trackage, and their fleets of locomotives – while increasing the amount of cargo
they hauled. Europe’s railways have also shown marked, albeit smaller, productivity improvements.
In America the period of huge productivity gains in transportation may be almost over, but in
most countries the process still has far to go. State ownership of railways and airlines, regulation of
freight rates and toleration of anti-competitive practices, such as cargo-handling monopolies, all keep
the cost of shipping unnecessarily high and deter international trade. Bringing these barriers down
would help the world’s economies grow even closer.
A. Are the following statements True or False?

2. Forty years ago, the process of exporting or importing was better than that of today.

“Lash” stands for “Lighter Aboard Ship”. A Lash- vessel has a main deck that is flat and
without any obstacles. A lighter is a container that floats in the water. The containers may be
hoisted on board by the vessel’s own heavy derricks that stack them on board. Another say of
loading the containers on board is by submerging the vessel first (for this she must be equipped
with a powerful pumping-system), then have tugs or push boats tow or push the lighters over the
Lash-vessel, after which the vessel will emerge again and will "pick up" the lighters. This type of
vessel is also referred to as a "Seabee". Heavy-load vessels have been designed to lift and carry
extremely heavy cargo on the main deck. Their most prominent features are very heavy derricks
("booms"), masts and lifting-blocks. Their cargoes, such as drilling platforms, engines, yachts,
trains, derelicts and wrecks, are loaded onto the main deck, which is flat and free from any
obstacles. A special way of loading and carrying heavy cargo is performed by submerging the
ship and has the cargo-module float over it. She must be equipped with a powerful pumping-
system. After pumping the ship empty the vessel will emerge again and will pick up the cargo.
Timber is a raw material from which wood-products are manufactured. Vessels that carry
timber can easily be recognised by their tall derricks. A timber carrier has been designed in such
a way that she can carry a tall deck cargo. Her Plimsoll Mark is provided with a special timber
Load-line that indicates the maximum draft to which she is allowed to be loaded under certain
circumstances and in different seasons. Cargo ships that carry both general cargo, bulk cargo and
containerised cargo are called multi-purpose (or multi-loads) vessels. These ships are equipped
with a variety of cargo handling gears to load and discharge the different types of cargoes. An
OBO-ship has been designed to carry oil/bulk/ore. She has been subdivided in such a way that
oil can be carried in the largest compartments and ore can be carried in the smaller
compartments.
Passenger ships, such as cross-Channel ferries, have been designed to carry passengers
and their vehicles on a prearranged route. Their main features are more or less the same as the
features of the Ro/Ro vessels. Cruise ships have been especially designed to carry
holidaymakers.

The surface of the sea is rarely flat. Frequently the movements of the surface are
sufficiently large to impart motion to a ship, and this motion will be of several kinds depending
on the size, frequency and speed of the waves, on the shape and dimensions of the ship, and on
the speed and angle of the ship’s track relative to the waves.
Waves coming from ahead or astern cause the bow and stern to lift and fall alternately, in
the motion known as pitching. Similarly, waves coming from abeam cause one side of the ship,
then the other, to rise and fall, this is called rolling. Generally a ship’s motion contains
components of pitch and roll simultaneously. Both these motions may cause the ship to head first
to one side of its course, and then to the other. This is called yawing.
When waves are sufficiently large, the whole vessel may be moved vertically up and
down: this is called heave. Large waves passing under the ship from one side impart a side-to-
side motion known as sway. The movement of the whole ship ahead and astern is called surge. If
the ship is under way, the surge will cause a speeding-up and slowing-down of her forward
motion.
Just as the waves present at any moment and at any particular place on the surface of the
sea are complex, because they are the product of large numbers of different wave motions of
different sizes and moving in different directions, so also the motion of the ship is complex, and
is the product of components of each of the six ship motions.

The early people feared nature and the effects it had on their world. Weather caused
many of these fears. They believed these violent types of weather were caused by different gods.
So they offered gifts to the weather gods they worshipped. One of these gods was named
Hurricane, meaning “the god of all evil”. We have given this name to a violent type of storm,
the hurricane.
In the Pacific Ocean, this same type of storm is called a “typhoon”. The people living
there fear it greatly. Nothing on earth has more power than the hurricane. Life exists on the earth
because we have few hurricanes and because their force is spread over many thousands of miles.
Men has not been able to develop anything which has the power of the giant hurricanes.
Hurricanes have caused great harm. In 1900, the edge of a hurricane struck the city of
Galveston in the state of Texas. More than 6,000 people were killed and the city was destroyed.
This was the worst storm in the history of the United States. In the year 1737, a typhoon struck
the area near the Bay of Bengal in Asia. When the winds stopped, 300,000 people had been
killed by the hurricane.
The winds of a hurricane travel at an average rate of 150 miles an hour. Some winds are
much stronger than that. These winds develop large ocean waves which flood entire cities
located near oceans. Large ships are beached and automobiles are picked up and rolled through
streets like toys. Entire houses are often lifted into the air and crushed. Cities are destroyed.
Hurricanes contain an unbelievable amount of rain.
Despite ancient people fearing the forces of these storms, we are gradually learning more
about these storms creating forces. Many hurricanes begin in the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of
Mexico. They also occur in the Pacific Ocean near Formosa and the Phillipine Islands.
The power and force of a hurricane is so great that it cannot be measured very well.
Hurricanes and typhoons always form in the hotter areas of the world. During the summer
months, the warm moisture filled air moves north and forms a belt around the earth. The winds
from the east become stronger and the clouds in the area create sudden rain storms. A hurricane
is born when the proper weather balance and the motion of the earth momentarily enable the
winds to turn in a circle.
A. Say whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE.
1. The early people worshipped the weather gods to avoid violent storms.
2. The storm in the Bay of Bengal was worse than the one in the US.
3. Hurricanes always develop when the atmosphere is hot and dry.
4. The writer says modern men are not scared of hurricanes because they are studying
more about hurricane creating forces.

Instruction: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
There are various effects of water pollution.
Spread of disease: Drinking polluted water can cause cholera or typhoid infections, along with
diarrhea.
Affects body organs: The consumption of highly contaminated water can cause injury to the
heart and kidneys.
Harms the food chain: Toxins within water can harm aquatic organisms, thus breaking a link
in the food chain.
Causes algae in water: Urea, animal manure and vegetable peelings are food for algae. Algae
grow according to how much waste is in a water source. Bacteria feed off the algae, decreasing
the amount of oxygen in the water. The decreased oxygen causes harm to other organisms living
in the water.
Flooding: The erosion of soil into waterways causes flooding, especially with heavy rainfall.
The affects of water pollution are not always immediate. They are not always seen at the point of
contamination. They are sometimes never known by the person responsible for the pollution.
However, water pollution has a huge impact on our lives. With knowledge, consideration and
preparation, water pollution can be decreased. It doesn’t take much effort just a little thought. .
How can we stop Water Pollution? : The problems associated with water pollution have the
capabilities to disrupt life on our planet to great extent. Congress has passed laws to try to
combat water pollution thus acknowledging the fact that water pollution is, indeed, a serious
issue. But the government alone cannot solve the entire problem. It is ultimately up to us, to be
informed, responsible and involved when it comes to the problems we face with our water. As
we head into the 21st century, awareness and education will most assuredly continue to be the
two most important ways to prevent water pollution. If these measures are not taken and water
pollution continues, life on earth will suffer severely. Global environmental collapse is not
inevitable. If the sources of water pollution are not controlled, this basic necessity will eventually
become a rare commodity only a few can afford to have. Life is ultimately about choices – and
so is pollution. We can live with sewage-strewn beaches, dead rivers, and fish that are too
poisonous to eat. Or we can work together to keep the environment clean so the plants, animals,
and people who depend on it remain healthy. We can take individual action to help reduce water
pollution, for example, by using environmentally friendly detergents, not pouring oil down
drains, reducing pesticides, and so on. We can take community action too, by helping out on
beach cleans or litter picks to keep our rivers and seas that little bit cleaner. And
we can take action as countries and continents to pass laws that will make pollution harder and
the world less pollute. Most environmental experts agree that the best way to tackle pollution is
through something called the polluter pays principle. This means that whoever causes pollution
should have to pay to clean it up, one way or another. Working together, we can make pollution
less of a problem – and the world a better place.
A. Instruction: Match the words in Column A with the meanings in Column B.

In cargo handling the Mate’s knowledge of proper ventilation on board is of great

importance. In loading and discharging as well as in making repairs on board, the crew
members or stevedores may be poisoned or even killed by contaminated air or poisonous
gases due to lack of ventilation.
Before anybody enters oil tanks, ballast tanks, storerooms, holds or pump-rooms to carry
out repairs or inspections, those spaces must be properly ventilated. Without breathing
apparatus, protective clothing or a smoke mask and a lifeline, men risk their lives if the
spaces are not gas free. There have been examples of victims of suffocation on board
ships due to accumulation of lethal gases or lack of oxygen.
Container or cargo sweating occurs when the outer surface of the container/cargo hold is
cooled to a temperature below that of the air enclosed in the container/hold. This results
in condensation: droplets forming on the interior roof and interior side panels, and then
dripping on to the cargo, causing mould and water damage. This might happen, for
example when cargo loaded in the tropical belt in warm conditions with high relative
humidity is transported to cold winter conditions in Europe. The temperature outside the
container gradually cools down during transit, leading to condensation inside the
container. One simple solution may be to replace the warm moist air by proper
ventilation or air conditioning. Sometimes it is important that the air surrounding a cargo
has to be very dry. Ventilated air then has to be passed through dehumidifier units.
Various desiccants and absorbent materials can also be used to absorb moisture and help
keep cargo dry.
Dangerous Cargo
Today a great deal of the cargo carried on board ships falls under the category of
dangerous goods. Knowledge of the IMO classification of dangerous goods is vital and it
is equally important always to observe the IMDG Code when handling such goods.
Explosives, flammable substances, poisonous or noxious cargo, infectious substances,
radioactive materials and corrosives, all require special precautions as to handling,
stowing, segregation and labelling. So do goods that are liable to spontaneous heating and
combustion. Always check the compatibility of IMO class goods and ensure proper
segregation. Thus, for example, flammable cargo must be stowed away from the engine
room. Infectious substances must be separated by one hold/compartment from foodstuffs.
Column A Column B
1. corrosives a. a substance that helps dry up others
2. transit b. Something that makes the air drier
3. desiccants c a substance having the power of destroying the texture of a

The first International Maritime Conference to consider regulations for preventing collision at
sea was held in Washington in 1889. The Conference agreed that a stand-on vessel should keep
her speed as well as her course, a giving-way vessel should avoid crossing ahead of the other
vessel and that steamships should be permitted to carry a second white masthead light. The
regulations agreed at the Washington Conference were brought into force by several countries,
including Britain and the United States, in 1897.
In 1929 an International Conference on Safety of Life at Sea proposed some minor changes to
the Rules but these were never ratified. Some Regulations were revised at an International
Conference on Safety of Life at Sea in 1948. The second masthead light was made compulsory
for power-driven vessels of 150 feet or upwards in length, a fixed stern light was made
compulsory for almost all vessels under way, and the wake-up signal of at least five short and
rapid blasts was introduced as an optional signal for use by a stand-on vessel. The revised Rules
came into force in 1954.
Relatively few vessels were fitted with radar in 1948 so no changes were made regarding this
equipment. With the considerable increase in the number of ships fitted with radar during the
following years, coupled with a series of collisions involving such vessels, further revision of the
Rules was necessary. An International Conference on Safety of Life at Sea was convened in
London in 1960 by the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO), which
is now the International Maritime Organization (IMO). At the 1960 Conference it was added to
the Rules governing the conduct of vessels in restricted visibility to permit early and substantial
action to be taken to avoid a close quarters situation with a vessel detected forward of the beam.
In September 1960 the British Institute of Navigation set up a working group to consider the
organization of traffic in the Dover Strait. The French and German Institutes of Navigation
agreed to co-operate in the following year and a separation scheme was devised. A new working
group with representatives from additional countries was formed in 1964 to consider routing
schemes for other areas. The proposals were accepted by IMCO and recommended for use by
mariners in 1967. An International Conference was convened in London in 1972 by IMCO to
consider the revision of the Regulations. The Conference agreed to change the format so that the
Rules governing conduct preceded the Rules concerning lights, shapes and sound signals.

Instruction: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:
As the two ships approached Nantucket, the weather was absolutely clear as far as the Stockholm
was concerned. Coming from the other way, Captain Calamai was very well aware of the fog in
which he steamed through. He and Nordenson were closing up on each other at two parallel
courses, but was not aware of each other’s presence; the radar could not reach that far. Actually,
it was not Nordenson on the bridge at this very moment, but Johan-Ernst Carstens-Johannsen.
Suddenly, Carstens noticed a ship some one-and-a-half miles ahead and slightly to his port. He
realized that the two ships would pass within one mile of each other, and Captain Nordenson had
said that the distance should be at least one mile. So he ordered Stockholm to turn slightly to
starboard in order to increase the distance. On the Andrea Doria, Second Officer Curzio
Francini discovered the Stockholm somewhat earlier due to their slightly more powerful radar.
He alerted Captain Calamai, who saw that the approaching ship was almost dead ahead. The
danger was not immediate, and the two men discussed on which side they would pass the other
vessel. They decided to turn to port in order to avoid the ship.
Carstens could not believe what had just happened. The other ship was turning the same way he
was. He ordered his ship hard to starboard, but maintained his speed. At the Andrea Doria’s
bridge, Captain Calamai was just as confused as Carstens, just a few minutes before. He turned
his ship even more to port, but did not reduce the speed. The effect of having an unstable ship of
30,000 tons run at almost 22 knots at hard to port made the great ship skid towards the
Stockholm. When Carstens saw this he ordered the engines put full astern, and maintained his
course.
At these two courses the ships were doomed. When the Stockholm was almost put to a full stop,
the Andrea Doria came skidding with her starboard side into Stockholm's bow. The Swedish
liner’s knife-sharp bow cut through Andrea Doria's hull like it was made of butter. The Andrea
Doria continued her 22-knot-race whilst the Stockholm stood still, badly damaged and very
confused. Immediately, Andrea Doria gained a twenty-degree list to starboard. Her engines
were ordered to a halt, and Captain Calamai ordered the crew to uncover the lifeboats. That
Andrea Doria was seriously damaged was quite obvious for the passengers and information to
enter the boat deck for them was not required. The combination of that the damage was in-
between two different watertight compartments and the fact that the ship had such a large list to
starboard sealed the Andrea Doria's fate. Since the list very quickly entered twenty degrees and
thereafter slowly, but steadily increased, the portside lifeboats were useless. Another
contributing factor was that between the generator room and the fuel tanks, in two different
compartments, there was no watertight door. Water rushed through the open tunnel and made
the bulkhead useless. The Andrea Doria was sinking.

3.Captain Nordenson sighted a vessel about one and a half mile ahead.

to stop at all.

I. Instruction: Read he passage and answer the questions that follow.
This article deals with common-sense measures and some necessary precautions which should be
taken to preserve the health of those aboard ship and to prevent the spread of disease where it has
occurred. Of the many causes of disease, infection by living organisms is the commonest and an
understanding of their mode of spread is necessary if healthy living and working conditions are
to be maintained.
Microbes (germs) can be classified in broad terms as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. They are idly
disseminated throughout nature and although most of them are not harmful to mankind certain
organisms may invade the body and produce particular diseases. They gain entry to the body,
usually through the nose or mouth or the broken skin. Infection can take place directly from
person to person or it may be conveyed indirectly in air, water or food or by a parasite carrier
(such as an insect).
The viruses of influenza that of the common cold and much more rarely Legionnaires disease are
examples of airborne infection which is spread when the sufferer coughs or sneezes.
Typhoid fever is an example of a water-borne bacterial infection. The excreta of infected persons
contaminate water supplies. Hence there is the necessity for safeguarding the water supply for
washing as well as for drinking at all times. Examples of two well-known bacterial diseases
brought about by personal contact are syphilis and gonorrhoea.
A number of diseases are conveyed by carriers. The plague germ is conveyed by the bites of
fleas living on the rat. Typhus is conveyed in similar manner by lice. Malaria and yellow fever
organisms inhabit the salivary glands of the mosquito and are injected into the blood when the
mosquito bites. Flies, because of their behaviour, are very prone to convey disease germs from
filth to food. Ringworm is an example of a disease caused by a fungus through contact.
Colunm A Column B
