The Norwegian Maritime Code 24 June 1994 no. 39

with later amendments up to and including Act 26 March 2010 no. 10

Unofficial student edition A translation was originally made by Peter Bilton at the request of the Ministry of Justice. Please refer to the last page for the authors of later editons. Throughout the translation, the Norwegian term “reder” has been used when the original utilises this term or the term “rederi.” There is no equivalent English term. The “reder” is the person (or company) that runs the vessel for his or her own account, typically the owner or the demise charterer. Time charterers and voyage charterers are not considered “reders”. The translation of titles of acts and some other terminology rely heavily on precedents. It has been considered more important to facilitate reference than to attempt to improve more or less established terminology.

Pyxis Ocean sets sail in August on its first voyage since being retrofitted with WindWings.

Cargill

Well over a century after the Age of Sail gave way to coal- and oil-burning ships, climate change concerns are prompting a new look at an old technology that could once again harness wind to propel commercial cargo ships — this time with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Imagine what looks like Boeing 747 wings with movable flaps, set vertically on a ship's deck. The vessel cruises under minimum power from its giant engine as computerized sensors adjust the fiberglass wings to take advantage of the wind's speed and direction. This wind-assisted propulsion saves

Louis Dreyfus Armateurs (LDA) ha sido seleccionada por Airbus para renovar toda su flota de buques fletados que transportan subconjuntos de aviones entre instalaciones de producción en Europa y Estados Unidos con tres modernos buques roll-on/roll-off de bajas emisiones, respaldados por propulsión asistida por el viento.

IEn particular, Airbus ha encargado a LDA la construcción, propiedad y operación de estos nuevos buques altamente eficientes que entrarán en servicio a partir de 2026.

Se espera que la nueva flota reduzca las emisiones medias anuales de CO2 transatlánticas de 68.000 a 33.000 toneladas para 2030. Esto contribuirá al compromiso de Airbus de reducir sus emisiones industriales totales hasta en un 63% para finales de la década,

It's worth recalling that the world merchant fleet is made up of different types of vessels, which can be grouped into the following categories: general cargo ships, container ships, barge carriers, bulk carriers, oil tankers and chemical tankers.

Today, sea freight is the main means of transporting raw materials (oil, coal, grain, etc.) over very long distances.

Today, sea freight accounts for 90% of international merchandise trade. At the end of March 2022, more than 57 000 merchant ships had been sailing around the world, over 50% of them carrying oil and related products.
