Maritime industry

In electric utilities, residual fuel oils, such as no. 4, have been used to process steam for electric plants (lARC 1989). Fuel oil no. 4 has been used in commercial and industrial burner installations that are not equipped with preheating facilities (Air Force 1989). In other industries, such as the maritime industry, plants and factories, and the petroleum industry, residual fuel oils have been used for space and water heating, pipeline pumping, and gas compression, as well as in road oils, and in the manufacture. 

While shipboard supplies of water are vital to navies and the maritime industry, the saline water conversion program of the Department of the Interior is interested in a different phase of the over-all problem. Aboard ship the primary interest is a reliable supply of water the cost of the water is of secondary consideration. The interest of the Office of Saline Water is centered on land-based plants that can produce fresh water from the sea at low cost, the latter being the important factor. 

Recent developments in the maritime industry include proposed specifications for rale of heat release and smoke requirements for fire resisting bulkheads for large high-speed surface craft. These requirements are in addition to existing fire resistance requirements (flame, heat, and smoke penetration). They are an alternative to previous noncombuslible requirements that conflicted directly with weight con.sideralions and indicate a fire engineering approach to fire safety. 

This final rule is the result of collaboration between OSHA and the maritime industry, said Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA Dr. David Michaels.

Competition fluctuates according to the current state of the maritime industry. Submit applications to employers early in your final year. When contacting employers, check whether their training schemes have been accredited by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) or whether they are prepared to support you in reaching the required standards. 

Effects of external audits on safety management systems A case study of the Norwegian-managed maritime industry... 

In sum, our study has shown that the maritime industry still faces challenges in achieving the aims of the ISM Code. Nevertheless, external audits do put pressure on companies to comply with established requirements, and are thus part of the solution in addressing these challenges.

Railroads require work outdoors and involving heavy moving machinery, which clearly pose a greater risk than working in an office. However, railroad workers face job risks which are at the lower end of the scale when a comparison is made with a peer group of other transportation modes such as trucking, aviation, and the maritime industry. There is also evidence of great improvements in worker safety. Fatality rates have fallen by a third, and injury rates by two-thirds since 1980.
