Subject field(s)

DEF

Two or more shipping lines operating a service in common between designated geographical areas.

OBS

The lines agree on a set of freight rates and any special rates for shippers and each line charges the same as the others. The ships used are of types suitable for the trade. Unlike tramp shipping where freight rates are a function of daily supply and demand, conference rates are relatively stable : base rates are altered by means of a general rate increase which in many cases is once a year. Lines in a conference are governed by the rules of membership which may include rights to load or discharge at certain ports and pooling of cargo.

A principle of maritime law according to which the owners of a ship and cargo share in a loss incurred voluntarily.

It is recognized that three conditions must exist in order to invoke general average :(1) the adventure must be exposed to a common and imminent peril;(2) extraordinary expenses or sacrifices must be incurred to avert or mitigate the peril; and(3) the adventure(or at least part of it) must be saved.

Halterm Limited operates Canada's largest Atlantic coast container terminal on a 70-acre site in the Port of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Built at a cost of $15 million, Halterm was an investment in the door-to-door movement to general cargo. Over the years, Halterm developed into one of the first common-user facilities in North America. Halterm has since become a cornerstone of the Port of Halifax.

In general, ship garbage resembles average municipal garbage. When it is generated near shore or in port it must be put ashore into dock-side reception facilities. When at sea, food wastes and other biodegradables may be "discharged" overboard under controlled conditions, but plastics... must be put ashore, no matter where they are generated. One type of waste presents a classification problem, namely dry bulk cargo residues such as grains, fertilizers, ores and others.

"Residue" is usually used in the plural.

CONT

En général, les ordures provenant des navires ne diffèrent pas des ordures ménagères. Lorsqu'un navire se trouve à proximité du rivage ou dans un port, obligation est faite de déposer les ordures dans les bacs prévus à cette fin sur le quais. Une fois en mer, les navires peuvent jeter les déchets de cuisine et autres déchets biodégradables par-dessus bord s'ils respectent les conditions établies, mais les articles de plastique (p. ex. sacs ou récipients, cordes et filets, etc.) doivent en toutes circonstances être éliminés à terre. Les résidus secs de cargaisons en vrac comme les céréales, les engrais, les minerais et autres, posent un problème de classification.
