THE APPLICATION OF MASSING HANDLING THEORY FOR EVALUATION OF THE APPLICATION OF WHARVES AND LOADING FACILITIES IN THE MARITIME PORT

This work presents the general characteristics of the port system. It defines sets and functions describing the structure and work of the port. Moreover, it characterizes foundations of the massive handling theory. It provides basic literature information about selected processes and models of the massive handling theory. On the example of a transportation company serving the loading on ships in the port of Szczecin, it shows the loading method. The material loading onto ships was the sodium water glass. There are observation results of operation times comprising the data available to determine parameters of the massive handling theory. Operations covered in the analysis include: the arrival of the ship at the port’s road, waiting for enter the port, passing through the fairway, waiting for loading, loading, determination of the cargo’s weight, preparation of documents and waiting for leaving the port. It presents critical remarks about possibilities of using the data obtained to describe loading cargo on a ship with the use of elements of the massive handling theory.

The Selection of the Parameters of Laser Beam for Constitution of the Corrosion Resistant Surfaces in Parts of the Rubber Vibration Damper

Corrosion is an everyday occurrence. It provokes the materials destruction, what directly translates into the durability, survivability and reliability of the equipment, specially of working in the aggressive environments one – e.g. afloat ships or boats. Corrosion is a cause of growth of the requirements of the raw materials needed for production of more and more new products and increase amount of waste come from this production.In the paper authors show the results of the experimental tests and they describe the meaning of the selection of laser bean parameters oriented for surface of chosen steel exposed to even corrosion.

Results of load's observation for selected marine electric power plants systems in floating objects

Some aspects of marine electric power plants load registration and identification have been presented. Methods of operating data collecting about marine electric power plant loads have been shown based on an example of three vessels - a chemical tanker, a container ship and a tanker. Power plants of these vessels have been described. Examples of collected operating data were presented. Range of marine electric power plant load identification research has been characterized, which presented in the paper results are a part of.
