Introduction to project SHOPERA – Objectives Sample Clauses

Introduction to project SHOPERA – Objectives. The introduction of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) was a major step towards improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of shipping. It has also raised concerns that some ship designers might choose to lower the installed power to achieve EEDI requirements instead of introducing innovative propulsion concepts. This can lead to insufficient propulsion and steering abilities of ships to maintain manoeuvrability under adverse weather conditions, thus to a serious ship safety problem. Work carried out by IACS highlighted this issue and led to the development of first draft guidelines for consideration by IMO in 2011, IMO MEPC 62/5/19 and MEPC 62/INF.21, which resulted later in 2012 Interim Guidelines, see IMO MEPC 64/4/13, MEPC 64/INF.7, updated in 2013 in Res. MEPC.232 (65). Even though the 2013 Interim Guidelines prevent irrational reduction of installed power, their sufficiency was disputed, especially concerning the definition of the minimum power lines, adversity of the weather conditions to be considered in the assessment and removal of comprehensive assessment. Several research initiatives in various European countries and Japan, aiming at updating these guidelines (see, e.g. IMO submissions MSC 93/21/5 and MSC 93/INF.13 by Greece, MEPC 67/INF.22 by Japan, MEPC 67/4/16 by Denmark, Japan and the Republic of Korea, and MEPC 67/INF.14 by Germany, Norway and the United Kingdom) were started and are expected to lead to the rationalization of the interim guidelines, may be at MEPC 70 in October 2016. To address the above challenges by in-depth research, the EU funded project SHOPERA (Energy Efficient Safe SHip OPERAtion) (2013-2016) was launched in October 2013. SHOPERA is developing suitable numerical methods and software tools and is conducting systematic case studies, which will enable the development of improved guidelines and their submission for consideration to IMO. A strong European RTD consortium was formed, representing the whole spectrum of the European maritime industry, including classification societies, universities, research organisations and model basins, ship designers, shipyards and ship operators. The project's objectives are:  Develop criteria and corresponding environmental conditions for the assessment of the sufficiency of propulsion and steering systems of ships for manoeuvrability in adverse conditions, including open sea, coastal waters and restricted areas.  Develop and adapt existing high f...

  • Synchronization, Commissioning and Commercial Operation 4.1.1 The Power Producer shall give at least thirty (30) days written notice to the SLDC and GUVNL, of the date on which it intends to synchronize the Power Project to the Grid System.

  • Project Scope The physical scope of the Project shall be limited to only those capital improvements as described in Appendix A of this Agreement. In the event that circumstances require a change in such physical scope, the change must be approved by the District Committee, recorded in the District Committee's official meeting minutes, and provided to the OPWC Director for the execution of an amendment to this Agreement.

  • Construction Progress Schedule A schedule indicating proposed activity sequences and durations, milestone dates for receipt and approval of pertinent information, preparation, submittal, and processing of Shop Drawings and Samples, delivery of materials or equipment requiring long-lead time procurement, and proposed date(s) of Material Completion and Occupancy and Final Completion. The schedule will be developed to represent the sixteen or seventeen CSI Specification Divisions. It shall have a minimum number of activities as required to adequately represent to Owner the complete scope of work and define the Project’s critical path and associated activities. If the Project is to be phased, then each individual Phase should be identified from start through completion of the overall Project and should be individually scheduled and described, including any Owner’s occupancy requirements and showing portions of the Project having occupancy priority. The format of the schedule will have dependencies indicated on a monthly grid identifying milestone dates such as construction start, phase construction, structural top out, dry-in, rough-in completion, metal stud and drywall completion, equipment installation, systems operational, Material Completion and Occupancy Date, final inspection dates, Punchlist, and Final Completion date.

  • Development Schedule The Project shall substantially comply with the specific timetables and triggers for action set forth in Article 5 of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that, as provided in G.S. 160A-400.25(b), the failure to meet a commencement or completion date shall not, in and of itself, constitute a material breach of this Agreement pursuant to G.S. 160A-400.27 but must be judged based upon the totality of the circumstances.

  • Project Schedule Construction must begin within 30 days of the date set forth in Appendix A, Page 2, for the start of construction, or this Agreement may become null and void, at the sole discretion of the Director. However, the Recipient may apply to the Director in writing for an extension of the date to initiate construction. The Recipient shall specify the reasons for the delay in the start of construction and provide the Director with a new start of construction date. The Director will review such requests for extensions and may extend the start date, providing that the Project can be completed within a reasonable time frame.

  • Performance Improvement Plan timely and accurate completion of key actions due within the reporting period 100 percent The Supplier will design and develop an improvement plan and agree milestones and deliverables with the Authority

  • Project Specific Milestones In addition to the milestones stated in Section 212.5 of the Tariff, as applicable, during the term of this ISA, Interconnection Customer shall ensure that it meets each of the following development milestones:

  • Timeline Contractor must perform the Services and deliver the Deliverables according to the following timeline: • •

  • Staffing Plan 8.l The Board and the Association agree that optimum class size is an important aspect of the effective educational program. The Polk County School Staffing Plan shall be constructed each year according to the procedures set forth in Board Policy and, upon adoption, shall become Board Policy.

  • PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATIONAL IMPROVEMENT A. The Board agrees to implement the following:
