The film-forming polymer product is the key ingredient in determining the seawater erosion behavior of self-polishing marine antifouling paints. Self-polishing behavior of the paints is achieved through the erosion process of the polymeric binder, enabling the release of incorporated biocides at a constant rate.

A Conference, convened in Athens in 1974, adopted the Athens Convention relating to the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea, 1974. The Convention is designed to consolidate and harmonize two earlier Brussels conventions dealing with passengers and luggage and adopted in 1961 and 1967 respectively. The Convention establishes a regime of liability for damage suffered by passengers carried on a seagoing vessel. It declares a carrier liable for damage or loss suffered by a passenger if the incident causing the damage occurred in the course of the carriage and was due to the fault or neglect of the carrier. 2, record 12, English, - Athens%20Convention%20Relating%20to%20the%20Carriage%20of%20Passengers%20and%20their%20Luggage%20by%20Sea

Many pneumatic systems are mounted on barges which can be towed to a seagoing vessel to discharge the cargo midstream. These barge-mounted pneumatic systems are called floating elevators. In the floating elevator, once the grain passes through the rotating airlock, it is weighed before being discharged into a barge or smaller ship. 1, record 17, English, - floating%20elevator
Record number: 17, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Most floating elevators have four succion pipes with a total discharging capability of between 250 and 400 tonnes per hour. The main advantage of the floating elevator is its mobility. The main disadvantage is the time lost both in moving the elevator from ship to ship and moving the barges or smaller ships to the elevator. However, they are used extensively in Europe. 1, record 17, English, - floating%20elevator

La plupart des élévateurs flottants possèdent quatre conduits d'aspiration capables de décharger ensemble de 250 à 400 tonnes à l'heure.
