CONT

Ship's dues : Revenue from dues on ships, consisting of harbour, dock, quay or river conservancy dues, or some combination of these, is applied to cover the cost of services such as dredging, lighting and buoying the channel, and the maintenance of the quay berths and locks. The ship's dues are charged to shipowners or charterers on the basis of either the gross or net registered tonnage of the vessel and are usually varied in accordance with the nature of the voyage, foreign-going ships being charged at a higher rate than coasters.

OBS

ship’s due: term usually used in the plural.

Record 2 2002-07-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • River and Sea Navigation
CONT

When new harbour facilities are built, large amounts of material almost always have to be removed to create navigation and mooring areas. Such projects are called capital dredging projects.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Navigation fluviale et maritime
CONT

La construction de nouvelles installations portuaires donne presque toujours lieu à l'excavation de volumes importants de matériaux lors de la création des aires de navigation et d'accostage. On parle dans ces cas de dragages de capitalisation.

Record 3 2001-09-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Dredging
CONT

... the highly contaminated sediment in our waterways and the lack of environmentally sound dredges and of centres authorized to treat or dispose of sediment has complicated maintenance dredging and harbour facility expansion activities.

Key term(s)
  • environmentally-sound dredge

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dragage
CONT

Présentement, en présence de sédiments fortement contaminés, les activités de dragage d'entretien et d'agrandissement des installations portuaires sont de plus en plus compromises par l'absence de dragues environnementalement performantes et de centres autorisés de traitement ou d'élimination de sédiments contaminés.

Record 4 2000-08-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Dredging
DEF

Dredging for construction of new facilities.

CONT

When new harbour facilities are built, large amounts of material almost always have to be removed to create navigation and mooring areas. Such projects are called capital dredging projects.

CONT

During capital dredging projects, however, areas which have remained "natural" thus far are dredged, and this can entail physical modifications that have major impacts.

Key term(s)
  • new facility project
  • new facility construction

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dragage
DEF

Construction de nouvelles installations.

CONT

La construction de nouvelles installations portuaires donne presque toujours lieu à l'excavation de volumes importants de matériaux lors de la création des aires de navigation et d'accostage. On parle dans ces cas de dragages de capitalisation.

CONT

[...] dans le cas de nouveaux projets, dits «de capitalisation», qui nécessitent des travaux de dragage d'aires jusque là «naturelles», des répercussions importantes peuvent être associées aux modifications physiques du site dragué.

Dredging of the Toronto harbour poses a number of environmental problems, and environmentally sound methods are currently the subject of intensive study and research.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures antipollution
CONT

Les activités de dragage menées dans le port de Toronto soulèvent plusieurs problématiques environnementales et des méthodes efficaces sur le plan environnemental font actuellement l'objet de recherches et d'études intensives.

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses

CONT

During the project, mean suspended solids concentration in the harbour area was 6. 6 times mean concentration at a control station 600 m upstream of the dredging site(16 samples were taken at the dredging site and 81 at the control station).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Études et analyses environnementales
  • Dragage
CONT

Pendant les travaux, la concentration moyenne à l'intérieur de la zone portuaire s'est révélée 6,6 fois plus élevée que la concentration moyenne observée à une station de contrôle localisée à 600 m en amont de la zone des travaux (un total de 16 échantillons ont été prélevés dans la zone des travaux alors que 81 échantillons provenaient de la station témoin).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Water Supply
CONT

Monitoring of water quality during capital and maintenance dredging with a cutterhead dredge in the Bécancour harbour between 1983 and 1984 showed that the critical suspended solids concentration threshold of 100 mg/L was rarely exceeded close to the raw water intake of the Gentilly nuclear power plant 1 km downstream.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Alimentation en eau
CONT

Un suivi de la qualité de l'eau effectué lors des projets de dragage de capitalisation et d'entretien réalisés dans le port de Bécancour en 1983 et 1984 à l'aide d'une drague hydraulique à désagrégateur indique que le seuil critique de 100 mg/L de MES n'a été dépassé qu'en de rares occasions à la proximité de la prise d'eau brute de la centrale nucléaire de Gentilly, située à 1 km en aval.
