English

Subject field(s)
  • Maritime Organizations
  • Maritime Law
  • Foreign Trade
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.

OBS

shipping conference: term standardized by CGSB [Canadian General Standards Board].

DEF

Agrupación de líneas marítimas que hacen una misma ruta, y que se ponen de acuerdo con la finalidad de informar y estabilizar los fletes y suministrar los servicios en las condiciones de explotación que se fije para esa ruta, se le denomina Conferencia Marítima, Conferencia de Fletes o Conferencia Naviera.

OBS

La conferencia es pues un oligopolio que elimina toda competencia, no solo de fletes, sino en condiciones de prestación del servicio, en tal forma que el usuario no tiene ninguna alternativa para buscar fletes más económicos ni para lograr un mejor servicio.

To expel, drive out from any place or position.

DEF

To expel by legal process; in recent use, to eject (a tenant) from his holding.

While engineering a new system to load gypsum stucco for ceiling tile manufactured at a sister plant, the United States Gypsum Company plant in Sperry, Iowa, faced the challenge of screening gypsum materials at 30 tph in a low-headroom area. The raw material contained on-size and oversize gypsum particles, paper fuzz, blasting cord pieces and tramp metals from upstream mining and milling operations... In this low headroom space, U. S. Gypsum faced the challenge of laying out a separation system and a conveying system to move the screened gypsum to a bulk tanker truck.

Record 6 2003-05-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Steelmaking
CONT

Edge cracking is a typical problem observed in hot strips. This problem is related with the content of tramp elements and the MnS formation. Since little time is available for MnS precipitation between casting and hot rolling, the formation of low melting point eutectic phases occurs and promotes the cracking tendency.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Élaboration de l'acier
CONT

Les criques de rive peuvent être évitées en agissant sur le rapport Mn/S, la température de préchauffage et la maîtrise de la température de maintien entre coulée et dégrossissage.
