  2. 6. Navigating towards environmental impact assessment of shipping

    Author : Anna Lunde Hermansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DAPSIR; scrubbers; metals; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; marine environment; ship pollution;

    Abstract : The shipping sector exert multiple pressures on the environment, affecting climate change, human health and the marine environment. From a policy perspective, shipping is usually assessed based on the emissions to air (e.g. READ MORE

  4. 7. Bioaccumulation and biological effects of organic contaminants in Icelandic coastal waters

    Author : Halldóra Skarphéđinsdóttir; Åke Granmo; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Miljögifter; Marine Ecotoxicology; marin ekotoxikologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis, studies on organic contamination from both diffuse and point sources in Icelandic waters are presented. The aim was to investigate bioaccumulation and biological effects of the contaminants or biomarkers, and their applicability in environmental marine coastal monitoring, especially in areas with moderate or low levels of contamination such as Iceland.

  5. 8. Service Life Assessment of Harbor Structures - Case studies of chloride ingress into concrete and sheet piling corrosion rates

    Author : Henrik Wall; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; chloride ingress; sampling methods; corrosion rates; sheet piling; ultra-sonic measurements; service life; durability; quay structures; harbor structures;

    Abstract : The two most used building materials in harbor structures are undoubtedly steel and concrete. These two materials are often combined in the structures of wharfs and quays where the steel sheet pile walls often have cap beams of reinforced concrete. READ MORE

  6. 9. Exploring the (re-)configuration of environmentally unsustainable practices - Antifouling in the Baltic Sea

    Author : Bianca Koroschetz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sustainable consumption; reconfiguration of practices; linkages Fritidsbåtar miljöaspekter; Konsumtion miljöaspekter; Konsumentpsykologi miljöaspekter;

    Abstract : This thesis explores how to (re-)configure environmentally unsustainable practices into more sustainable forms in the empirical context of leisure boat antifouling. Current antifouling practices predominantly involve the use of biocide-based paint to avoid the adherence of marine organisms to boats. READ MORE

  7. 10. Roughest hour – approaches to ship hull fouling management

    Author : Dinis Oliveira; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vessel performance; fouling control coatings; hull grooming; ship resistance; adhesion strength; in-water hull cleaning; biofouling; roughness; turbulent boundary layer;

    Abstract : Submerged surfaces at sea are colonized by a high diversity of sessile (i.e. attached) life forms. As the merchant fleet capacity increases, responding to growth in demand for seaborne transport, so does the hull wetted surface area that is prone to colonization by these sessile organisms, i.
