Log barges and tugs to China . Marine Accident waiting to Happen mp4
Rolling the dice on a marine calamity. Precatiously loaded log barges and tugs being sold for scrap to China on an old derelict semi submersible transport ship.This configuration wouldl be dangerous when ship is rolling amd pitching into swells and waves on its upcoming trip across the Pacific .If Canada Port Authority will allow this how can they be trusted not to allow contractors to cut corners regarding oil transport. and tanker safety in the harbour . This also signifies the beginning of the end of a liquidation era for forestry on the coast.and the creating of a monopoly by a large multinational as it sells tugs for scrap. thus killing competition by keeping the tugs out of the hands of smaller independent operators. As an update the ship was asked and forced to take the much longer but safer southerly route to China. On the southerly route they generally experienced a following 9 foot sea but still had two mishaps where two tugs fell of their cradels onto the deck of the barge carrying them. had they taken the northerly route they might have encountered a storm pushing up 35 foot waves.

Pilbara Iron Ore Infrastructure - Phase A and B
Pilbara Iron Ore Infrastructure - Phase A and B
Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) awarded McConnell Dowell the design and construction of the Pilbara Iron Ore Infrastructure Project at Port Hedland in Western Australia. FMG is positioning itself as the third major iron ore producer in Australia. MacDow's scope of work included a load-out berth, a lay-by berth and navigation aids. The load-out berth comprises a 100 m long approach jetty complete with roadway and elevated conveyor trusses; a transfer station platform with wharf conveyor, drive and belt change-out areas; and a wharf structure to supports the shiploader. The wharf includes shiploader rails; six independent berthing dolphins including fenders and quick release mooring hooks and controls; and trafficable concrete deck required for maintenance and associated traffic. The lay-by berth comprises eight independent berthing and mooring dolphins with interconnecting catwalks. Included on the berth were remotely controlled quick release mooring hooks and capstans on all dolphins. A total of five new navigation aids were designed and installed within the confines of the Port Hedland Port Authority (PHPA) inner harbour. Piling of the 341 piles were carried out by two piling barges with 350 tonne cranes, and a construction barge with a 180 tonne crane. Each of these barges was in turn supplied by four material/supply barges. Piles were driven using a piling frame system specifically designed by the company and predominantly constructed by MacDow's fabrication yard in Batam <b>...</b>

Ode to Port Citrus
Ode to Port Citrus
On June 30, 1970 a half-loaded barge made an inaugural trip on the finished portion of the Cross-Florida Barge Canal to prove to taxpayers the CFBC was an economically feasible project. This barge, the Aiple No. 200, got stuck in the nearshore area of the Gulf of Mexico at the mouth of the CFBC. The area where the barge went hard aground is locally known to be only 6 feet deep at low tide but somehow this fact had escaped the canal's proponents until the Aiple ran aground. As in 1970, ships and barges today must pass over this tidally ifluenced area to enter or exit the Cross Florida Barge Canal. Over $70 million dollars of taxpayer money had already been spent by the time congress halted the barge canal project in 1971. Is history getting ready to repeat itself?

Exploring Smith-9th Street Station
Exploring Smith-9th Street Station
We are on an F Train to Coney Island, where we depart from Carroll Street and head to the next stop, which is Smith-9th Streets. Smith-9th Streets Station is the highest station in the subway system, due to the fact that it has to climb high and span the Gowanus Canal, which we see in the video, where a barge is being loaded with scrap metal. The metal work on the station roof is being replaced, and the lighting system is almost completely replaced, with only one of the original light stanchions remaining, on the far end of the Queens-bound platform, right in front of the old Kentile Floors sign. Enjoy the video. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on June 1st, 2011.

LONDON RIOTS. Bystander hurt by riot police in Enfield. Tottenham police brutality? 7/8/11
LONDON RIOTS. Bystander hurt by riot police in Enfield. Tottenham police brutality? 7/8/11
This original BBC sequence shows a met police riot squad confronting some youths throwing stones at them in Enfield, North London on Sunday. The situation was tense as volatile as clearly the images show. It appears that a riot policeman uses a violent shoulder assault (probably including helmet) on an innocent bystander that was walking with this hands in his pockets towards police. A second policeman appears to deliberately step on the youth's leg as it lies injured on the tarmac. The bystander is thrown in the air and falls badly. The policeman also falls after the clash. The youth appears badly injured but nobody seems to be bothering about it. Original commentary does not even refer to the event. This incident is important because it is very similar tactic used on newspaperman Ian Tomlinson during the G20 protests which ended with the death of Tomlinson. ;NOTICE: THIS EVENT IS UNDER A NEWSREEL DEMOCRACY INVESTIGATION. We will be making representations to the Enfield police on Monday Aug 8

Doc Hastings Testifies Against EPA Regulation of Columbia River
Congressman Hastings testified this week about HR 4652, a bill introduced by Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) that would vastly increase the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate not just the Columbia and Snake Rivers, but also the economic activities that take place throughout Central Washington that rely on water from these rivers. As written, the bill would give broad authority to EPA to coordinate oversight of Pacific Northwest rivers, including associated economic activities like irrigation, hydropower and barge traffic.

Crouch Harbour Authority's new Watchful is lauched at Royal Corinthian Yacht Club
FIVE million tonnes of earth from a billion-pound rail project are to be shipped around the Essex coast and dumped on Wallasea Island, creating Europe's biggest wetland wildlife haven. Over the next five years, three to four 90m-long ships a day will sail along the River Crouch loaded with tunnelling spoil from London's Crossrail project for the RSPB-sponsored Wallasea Island Wild Coast Project Work has started at the RSPB site Wallasea Island. Pilling has started from a barge and work has begun on a very large convayabelt to transport soil that is going to come in on barges from the crossRail link that is to be dug under london. it will be distributed around the area of Wallasea island to create new Salt Marshes It is the largest marine habitat creation project in Europe and will transform the flooded island into a network of mudflats and salt marshes, which will become home to thousands of birds made homeless by developments elsewhere on the east coast. At first the Crouch Harbour Authority (CHA) had severe reservations, believing that flooding a large part of the island would cause large volumes of water to run in and out of the river on spring tides. CHA chairman John Archer said: "The effects of a flood would be unpredictable and potentially harmful. "The remedy was to partially fill the island before flooding it, thereby reducing the amount of additional water flow and also creating a more varied and ecologically rewarding habitat.
