Master Plan was a project for a cold store. The Bourgas Port cold store has been in operation since the end of 1997. The Port of Bourgas is the investor of the project. DC-system Insulation A/S is the supplier of the complex equipment. The cold store uses modern equipment and halls(6+1 in number) are universal. It is the only one of its kind in its capacity and an opportunity for a direct connection among water, road and rail transports for the region. 1, record 2, English, - port%20cold%20store

Le projet «Port 2000» vise à accroître les possibilités d'accueil du Port autonome du Havre dans le domaine des trafics maritimes de marchandises conteneurisées, qui connaît une dynamique soutenue à l'échelle de l'économie mondiale. L'enjeu est de présenter en France, aux armements et aux chargeurs, un ensemble portuaire compétitif qui constitue une base en Europe pour le trafic des conteneurs, en complémentarité avec les grands ports Nord européens. Le port du Havre, grâce à la place commerciale qu'il occupe déjà, et à ses [installations] nautiques, possède en effet tous les atouts pour tenir un rôle international majeur pour l'accueil et la distribution des trafics conteneurisés. 2, record 3, French, - complexe%20portuaire

The rudder actuator is a tandem actuator, having two internal piston areas for each hydraulic source(A & B). The actuator is capable of positioning the rudder panel with either one or both main hydraulic sources available, though with one source inoperative a reduced rudder panel deflection would result due to blowdown at higher airspeeds. Flow of hydraulic fluid to the rudder actuator is controlled by the dual servo-valve. This is a complex dual concentric cylinder with an outer and inner slide. During normal rudder pedal inputs sufficient rudder panel deflection is catered for by the primary(inner) valve alone. However, should a larger panel deflection be required or a higher rate rudder input be commanded, the secondary(outer) sleeve moves in addition to port extra fluid to the actuator. Movement of the outer sleeve is typically no more than 1 mm. Position of both sleeves of the servo valve is controlled by a complex mechanism of bell cranks, input rod and summing lever, the geometry of which is such as to provide movement of the sleeves in relation to the body of the valve. 2, record 4, English, - rudder%20actuator

The move was required before the Zvezda module can mate with a Russian docking module, which is expected to arrive in August or September.

The freighter's docking probe [Progress P6 supply ship] penetrated the aft port of the Zvezda service module and was captured during last Wednesday's link up. However, the debris prevented the probe from fully retracting as designed to bring the craft and station together in a tight fit.
