Shipping damage

Store in a cool and well-ventilated area isolated from easily oxidizable materials. Protect against physical damage. Shipping containers are amber glass and polyethylene bottles or steel drums not exceeding 100-lb capacity. 

Harbors are bnilt to provide a sheltered environment for the mooring of shipe and vessels. For some wave periods the semi-enclosed harbor basin acts as a resonator to amplify the wave motions in the harbor due to the combined effects of wave diffractions, refractions, and multiple reflections from the boundaries. This undesirable wave motion could induce significant ship motions, damage ship and dock facihties, and delay loading and imloading activities if the resonant wave periods are close to that of the ship mooring system. Harbor plaimers and engineers need to model the wave induced oscillations as new harbor layouts are contemplated.

Assessing the damaged ship performance it has been anticipated that the ship may have six degrees of freedom in damaged conditions. Although at this stage it is assumed that the most important... 

The key issue to apply the method is to have the proper model for the performance assessment of ships in damaged conditions and risk model for the risk assessment. At this moment the model for the ship (object) performance assessment has been prepared to obtain the three major hydromechanics characteristics of the damaged ships. These are as follows sway, heave and roll. For estimating... 

The assessment of damaged ship performance using the CFD based method is the best way to obtain the damaged ship performance characteristics in time domain at the design stage. As an alternative the damaged ship performance may be performed using the model tests.

Many organizations have recurring problems associated with injuries, shipping products to customers, which do not meet specifications, etc. causing the customer to be unhappy. By reducing the various defect rates, an organization will be able to consistently reduced employee injuries and damage, ship products to customers within specifications and increase customer satisfaction.
