Synopsis: Marine & water travel: Water travels:

these boat dwellers weren't allowed to set foot on land until the second half of the 20th century.

Takahashi and his team have devised a plan to enable large ships equipped with ocean thermal electric conversion,

which will feed in turn seafarers and landlubbers alike. Sinking fish waste and seaweed detritus will gradually sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

communities will ditch the stilts and float freely or anchor. Others are trying investigating this technique on a smaller scale too.

As a result, less traditional species are expected to increasingly find their way into trawlers, supermarkets and restaurants.

In Singapore, for example, the Marina Bay Sands hotel features a skypark on the 56th floor, with trees,

which allows a fleet of beekeeping technicians who inspects hives across the country to enter troves of live data on farmers,

and houses constructed out of old boat sails, rice sacks and plastic drinks bottles. But then there are those items that seemingly can't be repaired.

British yachtswoman Ellen Macarthur is a strong advocate of the concept and commissioned a report into the idea,

several of the dolphins continued to swim around the boat until it finally left to return to port.

That produced a raft of environmental management treaties and declarations oe including the United nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC),

A raft of practices oe from deforestation for land clearance to the types of intensive farming that exhausts nutrients or make the soil too salty for crops oe contribute to depleted soils.

Schooner Wharf will drop a pirate wench into the ocean at 12 sharp, and a drag queen named Sushi will drop from one end of the town in the other in a pair of high-heeled shoes.

Submissions ranged from self-filling water bottles, to extreme dehumidification, to a large-scale water sources for greenhouse drip irrigation, to emergency water for lifeboats, to self-filling canteens for the military,

Every day, millions of plastic water bottles, cups and containers are transported around the world by exhaust-spewing steamships, trains,

The ship was half empty already. Cargo from Asia was stacked in neat rows of shipping containers on the dock.

Standing in its shadow, it s hard to appreciate just how big the Hong kong Express is.

about as wide as some mega yachts are long. Fully loaded, it can carry 13,167 20-foot-long containers,

As the spring sun climbed higher, glinting off the placid Elbe river, some cranes nestled containers into towering metal racks on the ship s deck while others lifted boxes out.

full racks of Asia-bound cargo towered 50 feet above the deck, corrugated steel containers stacked like Lego blocks six deep.

Once it edged away from the Hamburg dock, its progress amounts to a snapshot of global commerce:

it can move 1. 4 million tons of cargo annually. That s the equivalent of 1. 8 billion ipads.

The ship is a link in a long, complicated, and precise global supply chain made possible by the humble boxes on board.

the shipping container#here are millions out there, all just like the ones stacked on the Hong kong Express but for a coat of paint and a serial number#pitomizes the enormity, sophistication,

Think of the shipping container as the Internet of things. Just as your email is disassembled into discrete bundles of data the minute you hit send,

Once they enter the stream of global shipping, the boxes are shifted and routed by sophisticated computer systems that determine their arrangement on board

Ships make many stops, and a box scheduled to be unloaded late in the journey can t be placed above one slated for offloading early.

Last year the world s container ports moved 560 million 20-foot containers#early 1. 5 billion tons of cargo altogether.

any ship can move them. Those already huge numbers are expected to grow. Increasingly, cargo companies are looking for ways to move bulk cargo in containers,

There s the trucker who moves the box to a waiting ship in Xinjiang, the feeder ship that moves it to Singapore to be loaded onto a bigger Europe-bound freighter, the crane operator in Hamburg, customs officials, train engineers, and more.

Yet the container s uniformity smooths each step of the way. Trucks and trains are fitted to haul the identical boxes;

Longshoremen laid hands on each piece of cargo that went into a ship s hold,

#oeso long as cargo was handled one item at a time, with long delays at the docks and complicated interchanges between trucks, trains, planes,

How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger. Parts were sourced locally,

An ambitious truck-company owner with little experience when it came to shipping, Mclean#ho had made a fortune in trucking in the boom years after WWII#as looking for a way to move goods up and down the East Coast s traffic-choked highways faster and more cheaply.

Trucks could roll their trailers onto ships in North carolina; the trailers would be unloaded in New york

On April 26, 1956, Mclean s first container ship#military-surplus WWII tanker#ailed from Newark to Houston loaded with containers custom-built for his company, Pan-Atlantic.

and out of ship holds using cranes, others with forklifts. Cranes belonging to Grace Lines couldn t unload containers belonging to Pan-Atlantic.

resulted in a 1961 agreement that only ships built to carry boxes 10, 20,30, and 40 feet long would be eligible for federal subsidies.

The first Transatlantic container ships set sail in 1966, filled with whiskey headed to the U s. and guns on their way to Europe.

nearly every berth was filled with U s. military cargo destined for the 250,000 American soldiers stationed in West germany.

#oethe early Transatlantic container ships could be unloaded and reloaded more quickly, so containerships spent less time at the dock than breakbulk ships,

#says Levinson.##oeconsequently, each one could make more voyages in the course of a year.#

#oefrom whiskey distillers in Scotland to apple growers in Australia, major users of international shipping abandoned breakbulk freight as soon as regular container shipping was able to meet their needs,

By the mid-80s, the cost of shipping goods from Asia to North america had fallen by more than 50 percent.

Mile for mile, transporting a single TEU using a modern container ship produces just a third of the CO2 it would take to move that same container with a truck.

and multiple international supply chains means that far more cargo is being moved today than in the days of breakbulk.

like the loss of many dockworkers jobs and the death of waterfronts around the world as cargo moves to increasingly automated facilities on or beyond city limits.

The reliability of containerized shipping spawned a new field in business schools around the world, namely supply chain management.

#oewhen I started in the merchant marine, on a four-month trip to India we d usually come back two months late

and nobody noticed,#says Gerhardt Muller, a retired professor at the U s. Merchant marine Academy and author of Intermodal Freight Transportation, an industry standard.#

#oein the 80s, people realized the container wasn t just a box for shipping, #says Muller.#

#oecontainers were no longer about shipping#hey became about logistics.##They may grease the wheels of global commerce,

Could the same thing happen to global shipping? With the timely arrival of each container dependent on dozens of things going right,

#Delays as ships were rerouted to ports in Canada and the Gulf Coast of the U s. might hold up cargo for weeks.

It s already happened, on a small scale. In 2002, labor disputes led to a 10-day port lockout on the West Coast.

And Hurricane Sandy closed terminals in Newark and New york for days, forcing shippers to route their cargo to ports elsewhere on the East Coast.

In the name of energy efficiency, the freighters of the future will make the mighty Hong kong Express look modest.

A Danish shipper, Maersk, is at work on what it calls the#oetriple-E#class. The vessels are 1, 300 feet long,

and capable of carrying 18,000 containers at a time, the equivalent of 111 million pairs of sneakers#7 percent more cargo than the Hong kong Express, currently one of the largest container ships in the world.

This latest generation of freighters, under construction now is slated to enter service some time in the next year.

The issue isn t the size of ships, but the infrastructure required to load and unload them.

the 18,000 containers aboard one of Maersk s new ships would stretch for 68 miles.

Using a fleet of surveillance drones, equipped with special infrared cameras, fires can be spotted during the earliest moments of a containment window,

More recently in 2012 the bird was blamed for holding up a marina development in Westernport.
