The container ship is one of the type of merchant ships, the only ship that can carry containers in a huge number. Furthermore, this ship is also known as ‘gearless’ ship and ‘cellular’ ship because it is the only ship that have no such gears around the whole ship structure (Pandiyan, 2015). Container Ship also can conduct intermodal business such as linking all the containers through the other transportation from ports through the land transportation whether by rails, trucks and trailers (Schubert, n.d). Evolution and Dimension of The Container Ships/Technological Changes Over 5 Decades. Throughout the history, the container ships have started the operations since in the mid of 1950s. But, the time has moving forward and the vessels have …show more content…
The ship during that time, it was quite small and the speed is considerably slow. The containers were absolutely limited and it can’t afford to carry the containers in such a huge number (Evolution of Container Ships, n.d). However, time passes and technology is growing where the containers has growing concernly in the world business trade that is growing rapidly in such a quick time (Evolution of Container Ships, n.d). Thus, the evolution of container ship continue where fully cellular container vessels or known as (FCC) has been introduced in the beginning of 1970s. The FCC can carry the containers for up to 2,500 TEUs where the vessel can afford to carry a lot of containers in the whole vessel including the below deck (hold) (Evolution of Container Ships, n.d). Plus, the speed of the vessel also has been increased to 20 to 24 knots compared to the first generation of container vessels that was 18 to 20 knots, which is much slower (Evolution of Container Ships, n.d). The early container ship has a dimension about 137 meters for length of overall (LOA), 17 meters for beam while 9 meters for draft. Soon, the containership has evolved where it has been expended to 215 meters for LOA, 20 meters for beam and 10 meters for draft (Evolution of Container Ships,
I personally found this book to be an excellent read, and while I haven’t read to many business management books. I can feel safe to say that I think this one does an excellent job in conveying key management principals for today’s workplace. It also appealed to me due to my fascination with the way in which our military operates. I believe he did a great job of staying clear of getting too detailed in either is leadership model and military jargon. I would recommend this book to anyone who feels intimidated by management books that read more like a textbook, who want to learn but also enjoy the reading too.

No Bricks and No Temples: Coping with Crisis in “The Open Boat” Stephen Crane’s story “The Open Boat” concerns four people who are trying to reach land after surviving a shipwreck off the Florida coast. During the course of the story, they face dangers that are real physical threats, but they also have to deal with trying to make sense of their situation. The characters in this story cope with their struggles in two ways: individually, they each imagine that Nature, or Fate, or God, is behind their experiences, which allows them to blame some outside force for their struggle, and together, they form a bond of friendship that helps them keep their spirits up. . In “Becoming Interpreters: The Importance of Tone in ‘The Open Boat,’” Gregory Schirmer states that “‘The Open Boat has at its center two quite different views of man: as a helpless and insignificant being adrift in a universe that is wholly indifferent to him and his ambitions, and on the other hand, as part of a brotherhood that binds man to man in the face of that indifferent universe” (222).

More than forty thousand merchant ships, and countless number of smaller coastal craft, ply world oceans which comprise nearly seventy percent of the earth’s surface. Each year approximately ten million containers of cargo, containing raw materials to finished goods are transported by seas. The ships are owned by different states, private companies or individuals and manned by mixture of seafarers from different countries, mixed together from various nationalities. These ships are perhaps the most autonomous entities on earth as rule of law allows frequent change of their allegiance or identity by choosing a flag to suit their requirement.

Different cruise companies spend a lot of money on the modification of the products in order to enhance the number of customers. The underlying industry plays an important role in reducing the unemployment because it provides millions of jobs to the individuals. So that the underlying industry also helps in enhancing the economy of the country. In each and every year, the cruise industry has ordered different ships in order to serve the large number of passengers. The new ships have more value and are expensive more than the 20 billion dollars. New and innovative ships help to increase the number of customers of the underlying industry and help to enhance the profitability of the underlying industry (Giachetti et.al, 2013 p.500). The cruise industry is also one of the best examples of globalization. The new cruise ships help the passengers in providing the best services. The cruise company has increased its ships rapidly in order to serve large number of passengers. Research indicates that from the last 20 years, the annual growth of the cruise industry reaches to 8.5 percent and the cruise industry has total 90 million passengers which have increased in every year due to the innovation and creative designs of the cruise ships. The cruise industry provides the enjoyable experience to the passengers. After the year 2005, the cruise company replaces the old ships from the new one having the new design and structure of the ships. The main purpose for the exchange of new ships is to enhance the number of passengers (Terry 2014
Pipeline Transportation is a massive mode of transportation for over one hundred countries around the world. As of 2014, there is approximately 2,175,000 miles of pipeline, enough to wrap around the Earth 87 times. Of those millions of miles, 64% of the world’s pipeline is in the United States alone. Pipelines are mostly used for the transportation of both crude and refined petroleum, fuels such as oil, natural gas, and biofuels, and other fluids like water and sewage. Even alcohol is sometimes transported using pipelines. Pipelines are used all around us. Miles of them are running continuously below our feet on a daily basis. The creation of pipeline transportation has been an incredibly help to society both directly and indirectly.
The development of urban transportation has not changed with the cities; cities have changed with transportation. This chapter offers an insight into the Past and the future of Urban transportation and is split up into a number of different sections. It includes a timeline of the different forms of transport innovations, starting from the earliest stages of urban transport, dating back to the omnibus (the first type of urban transportation) and working in a chronological order until eventually reaching the automobile. However, these changes in Urban transport did not happen for no reason. Different factors within society meant urban transport needed to evolve; points will be made on why society needed this evolution. In contrast I will observe the problems urban transport has caused in society as a result of its rapid progression. Taking account of both arguments for the evolution of urban transport, I will look at where it will go in the future.
Water transport is not flexible because it is restrained within water bodies. The use of containers has becomes the best inter-modal option for water transport whereby goods are placed in containers and transported through truck or rail to the port where it is loaded in to a container ship. Upon arrival to the destination port it is offloaded and transported again by track or rail to the consumer of customes.This helps reduce staffing needs, transit time and damages (Haulk, 1998).
