The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) ... is commonly called the Alaska Pipeline, Trans-Alaska Pipeline, Alyeska Pipeline or The Pipeline (in Alaska), but those terms technically apply only to the 800.302 miles (1,287.961 km) of 48-inch (122 cm) pipe that convey oil from Prudhoe Bay, to Valdez, Alaska, privately owned by the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company. The pipeline was built between 1974 and 1977 after the 1973 Oil Crisis caused a sharp rise in oil prices in the United States. This rise made exploration of the Prudhoe Bay Oil Field economically feasible. 1, record 6, English, - Trans%2DAlaska%20Pipeline%20System

The mining dredges were land-locked floating machines, digging the ponds that allowed them to float - and thus move - across the area to be mined. The floating dredge most commonly operated in the North was the California-type, also known as bucket-line dredge.

Si deux voiliers naviguent sous des amures différentes, celui qui navigue tribord amures est prioritaire (Le vent vient de droite). Si deux voiliers naviguent sous la même amure, c'est celui qui a la voile la plus bordée qui a la priorité, celui donc qui remonte le plus au vent.
