First ship tunnel to be constructed in Norway
Primeiro túnel para navios a ser construído na Noruega
Norway plans for
a pioneering construction
project that will facilitate ship transportation. A Noruega planeja um projeto de construção pioneiro que facilitará o transporte de navios.
The
plan includes the construction of
a tumnel from
which ships will pass by in order to avoid the Stad
peninsula. O plano inclui a construção de um túnel por onde os navios passarão para evitar a península de Stad.
The endeavor has been underway since
2017 and was approved by Norway”s Ministry of
Transport and Communications in late February
2021. O projeto está em curso desde 2017 e foi aprovado pelo Ministério dos Transportes e Comunicações da Noruega no final de fevereiro de 2021.
The waters in the Stad peninsula are dangerous
since it is an exposed area where navigation is
challenging. As águas da península de Stad são perigosas, uma vez que se trata de uma zona exposta onde a navegação é difícil.
Except for the water currents, the
underwater topography creates additional issues
including unpredictable waves which may persist
for
a significant amount of time after
a storm has
passed. Para além das correntes de água, a topografia submarina cria problemas adicionais, incluindo ondas imprevisíveis que podem persistir durante um período de tempo significativo após a passagem de uma tempestade.
The Norwegian Coastal Administration stated
that plans for alternatives such as the one currently underway have been suggested for years. A administração costeira norueguesa declarou que há anos que são sugeridos planos para alternativas como a que está atualmente em curso.
Even the
Vikings used to drag their ships over the land in
order to avoid the dangerous conditions around the
peninsula. During World War II, the Germans also
made plans to construct
a similar project, however,
according to Terje Andreassen, head of the
Norwegian Coastal Administration, “the war didn”t
last long enough to build it”. Até os vikings costumavam arrastar os seus navios por terra para evitar as condições perigosas em torno da península. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, os alemães também planearam a construção de um projeto semelhante, mas, segundo Terje Andreassen, chefe da Administração Costeira norueguesa, "a guerra não durou o suficiente para o construir"
The tunnel will create an alternative, faster
route for ships around the peninsula. O túnel criará uma rota alternativa e mais rápida para os navios que contornam a península.
It will stretch
for 1700 meters and will be 37 and 36 meters in
height and width, respectively. Terá uma extensão de 1700 metros e uma altura e largura de 37 e 36 metros, respetivamente.
The construction
will begin from the two sides of the tunnel
(probably using the drilling and blasting
technique). A construção começará a partir dos dois lados do túnel (provavelmente utilizando a técnica de perfuração e detonação).
The tunnel face will be excavated in
multiple phases. A face do túnel será escavada em várias fases.
The top of the tunnel will be
supported by
a layer of shotcrete. Routes from
which the excavated material will be transported
outside ofthe tunnel will also be established. O topo do túnel será suportado por uma camada de betão projetado. Serão igualmente estabelecidas as rotas a partir das quais o material escavado será transportado para fora do túnel.
The two entrances of the tunnel will feature
walls made from the excavated rocks. As duas entradas do túnel terão paredes feitas com as rochas escavadas.
The interior
of the facility will have led lights that will function
both as an aesthetic and
a navigation tool. O interior da instalação terá luzes led que funcionarão tanto como uma ferramenta estética como de navegação.
The
design aims at making the tunnel fit with the
surrounding nature and not interrupt the natural
environment. O projeto tem como objetivo fazer com que o túnel se enquadre na natureza circundante e não interrompa o ambiente natural.
The total cost of the project is expected to
reach $325MM with officials mentioning that
funding has been secured. Prevê-se que o custo total do projeto atinja os 325 milhões de dólares, tendo os responsáveis mencionado que o financiamento já foi assegurado.
The construction process
is planned to begin in early 2022 after signing
a
contract in 2021. O processo de construção está planeado para começar no início de 2022, após a assinatura de um contrato em 2021.
Officials suggest that the
construction phase will last for 3-4 years, hence, the
tunnel will be completed by 2026. As autoridades sugerem que a fase de construção durará 3-4 anos, pelo que o túnel estará concluído em 2026.
Norway is
a pioneering country for tunnel
engineering and has more than 1,100 facilities. A Noruega é um país pioneiro na construção de túneis e possui mais de 1 100 instalações.
The
rough terrain and the rockmass conditions (which
are generally good) have favored the establishment
of such projects. O terreno acidentado e as condições do maciço rochoso (que são geralmente boas) favoreceram o estabelecimento de tais projetos.
Despite the excitement for the project, not
everyone is in favor of it. Apesar do entusiasmo pelo projeto, nem todos são a favor dele.
According to Knut
Samset, Professor of project management at the
Norwegian University of Science and Technology,
the project is not going to be financially prosperous
due to its high cost, the fact that it will not always
be thefaster route and that modem ships will not be
obliged to use it. De acordo com Knut Samset, professor de gestão de projetos na Universidade Norueguesa de Ciência e Tecnologia, o projeto não será financeiramente próspero devido ao seu elevado custo, ao facto de não ser sempre a rota mais rápida e de os navios modem não serem obrigados a utilizá-la.
“It's
a very expensive thing. É uma coisa muito cara.
Weather permitting, it's as fast to sail around the
cape as it is to sail into the fjord and through the tunnel. Se o tempo permitir, é tão rápido navegar à volta do cabo como entrar no fiorde e atravessar o túnel.
Plus, today”s boats are big enough and safe
enough to handle the choppy waters, which makes
traveling through the tunnel
a moot point.”, Prof.
Samset stated. Além disso, os barcos actuais são suficientemente grandes e seguros para aguentar as águas agitadas, o que torna a viagem através do túnel um ponto discutível", afirmou o Prof. Samset.

What the Ever Given can tell us about mental
health at sea
O que o Ever Given pode-nos dizer sobre a saúde mental no mar
Captain Lee Clarke from Tapiit Live on one of the
overlooked aspects stemming from last month's Suez
blockage. O capitão Lee Clarke, do Tapiit Live, fala-nos de um dos aspectos menosprezados do bloqueio do Suez no mês passado.
Thirty days ago,
a ship named Ever Given was
sailing in relative anonymity. Há trinta dias, um navio chamado Ever Given estava navegando num relativo anonimato.
Twenty-nine days
ago, that same ship found itself splashed across the
front cover of every national newspaper from
London to Lima. Há vinte e nove dias, esse mesmo navio apareceu na capa de todos os jornais nacionais, de Londres a Lima.
In
a matter of hours, the ship and its 25 strong
crew went from highly skilled seafarers to media
targets. Numa questão de horas, o navio e a sua tripulação de 25 pessoas passaram de marinheiros altamente qualificados a alvos dos mídia.
In the maelstrom of social media memes,
newspaper cover stories and “special reports”, one
major thing was forgotten, more likely ignored: the
crew”'s mental well-being. No turbilhão de memes das redes sociais, histórias de capa dos jornais e "reportagens especiais", uma coisa importante foi esquecida, mais provavelmente ignorada: o bem-estar mental da tripulação.
In
a world of social media, everyone is an
expert, and never has that been felt more in the
maritime industry than now. Num mundo de redes sociais, todo mundo é especialista, e isso nunca foi tão sentido no setor marítimo como agora.
A frenzy of blame
erupted almost instantly with little or no merit or
fact-checking, as evidenced by the naming of
a
female officer as the Ever Given's Captain,
regardless of the fact she was over 200 miles away
on another vessel. Um frenesim de culpas irrompeu quase instantaneamente, com pouco ou nenhum mérito ou verificação de factos, como evidenciado pela nomeação de uma oficial como capitã do Ever Given, independentemente do facto de ela estar a mais de 200 milhas de distância noutro navio.
Being
a seafarer is
a stressful job, irrespective
of
a global incident, especially when you factor in
being away from family for extended periods and
working contract to contract with little job security. Ser marítimo é um trabalho estressante, independentemente de um incidente global, especialmente quando se tem em conta o facto de se estar longe da família durante longos períodos e de se trabalhar de contrato em contrato com pouca segurança no emprego.
You also have to cope with fatigue, extreme weather conditions and intense time pressure placed
upon the crew and its Master by multiple state and
global agencies as well as the ship”s own charter. Também se tem de lidar com a fadiga, as condições climatéricas extremas e a intensa pressão de tempo imposta à tripulação e ao seu comandante por múltiplas agências estatais e globais, bem como pela própria carta do navio.
So, add to that taking the “blame” for halting $9.6
billion of trade
a day, understandably, stress levels
rise astronomically. Se a isso juntarmos o facto de sermos "culpados" pela interrupção de 9,6 mil milhões de dólares de comércio por dia, é compreensível que os níveis de stress subam astronomicamente.
As an industry, mental health appears still to be
very much
a taboo topic. Como indústria, a saúde mental ainda parece ser um tabu.
Seafarers are more likely
to be signed off and dismissed for being deemed
“unfit to serve” than they are to receive any form of
support. Os marítimos têm maior probabilidade de serem demitidos por serem considerados “inaptos para servir” do que receber qualquer forma de apoio.
Whilst onboard, the mood will feel
somewhat supportive with the crew banding
together to keep the ship operating, internally, each
and every seafarer, from deckhand to Master will be
worrying about their reputation and thus, their
employability. Enquanto estiver a bordo, o clima parecerá um tanto favorável com a tripulação se unindo para manter o navio operando, internamente, todo e qualquer marítimo, do marinheiro ao comandante, estará se preocupando com sua reputação e, portanto, com sua empregabilidade.
___(I)___ my experience as
a Captain, your
crew is your first line ___(II)___ defence ___(III)___ any major incident. ___(I)___ a minha experiência como capitão, a tripulação é a primeira linha ___(II)___ de defesa ___(III)___ em qualquer incidente grave.
As soon as
something goes awry, they burst ___(IV)___ action,
they're trained to do so, it's instinctive. Assim que algo corre mal, eles entram ___(IV)___ em ação, estão treinados para o fazer, é instintivo.
I have no
doubt, everyone aboard the Ever Given did
everything ___(V)___ their power to protect that
ship and avoid
a major incident, but some things are ___(VI)___ your control. Não tenho dúvidas de que todos a bordo do Ever Given fizeram tudo ___(V)___ o que estava ao seu alcance para proteger o navio e evitar um incidente grave, mas há coisas ___(VI)___ que não se podem controlar.
In reality, they will
never be praised for saving the ship, only criticised
for grounding it. Na realidade, nunca serão elogiados por terem salvo o navio, apenas criticados por o terem encalhado.
This crew is acutely aware of the issues the
incident has caused and they are reminded of it
every time they open their phone or computer to
read the news or speak to their families, and I feel
for every single one of them. Esta tripulação está perfeitamente consciente dos problemas que o incidente causou e é lembrada disso sempre que abre o telefone ou o computador para ler as notícias ou falar com as suas famílias, e sinto muito por cada um deles.
They're now stuck in an Egyptian lake, further
away from their families, without the ability to
defend themselves with the threat of civil and
criminal charges looming. Estão agora presos num lago egípcio, mais longe das suas famílias, sem poderem defender-se e com a ameaça de iminentes acusações civis e criminais.
This downward spiral
will undoubtedly be taking its toll on their mental
health and in the past, there hasn't been much of
a
support system in place to help.
Estão agora presos num lago egípcio, mais longe das suas famílias, sem poderem defender-se e com a ameaça de acusações civis e criminais. Esta espiral descendente estará, sem dúvida, a afetar a sua saúde mental e, no passado, não existia um grande sistema de apoio para os ajudar.
Based on my experience offshore, working for
a
company that provides mental well-being training,
and from all of the feedback, Tapiit has garnered
from its live-streamed mental health awareness
courses, seafarers want and need this support. Com base na minha experiência no mar, ao trabalhar para uma empresa que dá formação em bem-estar mental, e com base em todas as reações que a Tapiit obteve dos seus cursos de sensibilização para a saúde mental transmitidos em direto, os marítimos querem e precisam deste apoio.
Yet,
there's
a deep-rooted fear that admitting they're
struggling and asking for help will be the end of
their careers. No entanto, existe um medo profundamente enraizado de que admitir que estão a passar por dificuldades e pedir ajuda seja o fim das suas carreiras.
Of course, the conversation has advanced
significantly, however, it's still not where it should
be. É claro que a conversa avançou significativamente, no entanto, ainda não está onde deveria estar.
The harsh reality is, the Ever Given and its crew
will be forgotten about in
a month or two”s time,
but this crew is hurting and will continue to struggle
with the mental health issues caused by the incident
for years to come. A dura realidade é que o Ever Given e a sua tripulação serão esquecidos dentro de um mês ou dois, mas esta tripulação está a sofrer e continuará a debater-se com os problemas de saúde mental causados pelo incidente durante anos.

Maersk, the worlds largest shipping company,
says the Suez Canal blockage's economic fallout
will continue into second half of May
A Maersk, a maior empresa de transportes marítimos do mundo, afirma que as consequências económicas do bloqueio do Canal do Suez continuarão na segunda quinzena de maio

Fallout from the Ever Given's time lodged in the
Suez Canal will “ripple” through the economy for
the next few weeks or months, according to Maersk,
the world's biggest shipping company. As consequências da permanência do Ever Given no Canal do Suez vão "repercutir-se" na economia durante as próximas semanas ou meses, segundo a Maersk, a maior companhia de navegação do mundo.
“We will see ripple effects continuing into the
second half of May,” Lars Mikael Jensen, head of
Maersk's Global Ocean Network, told The
Financial Times. Veremos que os efeitos se farão sentir na segunda quinzena de maio", disse Lars Mikael Jensen, diretor da Global Ocean Network da Maersk, ao The Financial Times.
The Ever Given, which is among the world's
largest container ships, was lodged in the canal for
six days, effectively closing ons of the world”s most
important trade routes. O Ever Given, que é um dos maiores navios porta-contentores do mundo, ficou bloqueado no canal durante seis dias, fechando efetivamente uma das rotas comerciais mais importantes do mundo.
The Ever Given was operated by the Taiwan-based shipping company Evergreen Group. The
ship was freed on March 29. O Ever Given era operado pela companhia de navegação Evergreen Group, sediada em Taiwan.
The ship was freed on March 29. O navio foi liberado a 29 de março.
Maersk predicted knock-on effects from the
blockage. A Maersk previu efeitos indiretos do bloqueio.
In an updated press advisory posted on
Thursday, the company said it was pleased to see
that the queue waiting at the canal was rapidly
diminishing. Num comunicado de imprensa atualizado publicado na quinta-feira, a empresa afirmou estar satisfeita por ver que a fila de espera no canal estava a diminuir rapidamente.
“For each day that passes we are getting
a
clearer picture of what this incident means for our
customers,” the company said. "A cada dia que passa, estamos tendo uma ideia mais clara, do que este incidente significa para os nossos clientes", afirmou a empresa.
Maersk said about 50 ships had been delayed for
about
a week because of the blockage. A Maersk disse que cerca de 50 navios tinham sofrido atrasos de cerca de uma semana devido ao bloqueio.
Some of
those ships waited on either end of the canal, while
others were redirected around the Cape of Good
Hope. Alguns desses navios esperaram nas duas extremidades do canal, enquanto outros foram redirecionados para o Cabo da Boa Esperança.
The effects of those delays will be felt in ports
around the world, the company said. Os efeitos desses atrasos far-se-ão sentir nos portos de todo o mundo, afirmou a empresa.
Its advisory
warned that delays may vary by location. O seu aviso alertava para o facto de os atrasos poderem variar consoante o local.
Busy
ports and terminals may not have berths for ships
arriving outside their originally scheduled:
windows. Os portos e terminais mais movimentados poderão não dispor de cais de acostagem para os navios que cheguem fora do horário inicialmente previsto: janelas.
The company previously said shipping
backlog may take months to unravel. A empresa disse anteriormente que os atrasos no transporte marítimo podem levar meses a serem resolvidos.
“Even when the canal gets reopened, the ripple
effects on global capacity and equipment are
significant and the blockage has already triggered
a
series of further disruptions and backlog in global
shipping that could take weeks, possibly months,to
unravel,” Maersk said in
a statement back when the
Ever Given was still lodged in the canal. "Mesmo quando o canal for reaberto, os efeitos em cascata sobre a capacidade e o equipamento globais são significativos e o bloqueio já desencadeou uma série de outras perturbações e atrasos no transporte marítimo global que poderão levar semanas, possivelmente meses, a resolver", afirmou a Maersk num comunicado na altura em que o Ever Given ainda estava alojado no canal.

IMO Action Plan to address marine plastic
litter from ships
Plano de ação da OMI para combater o lixo plástico marinho proveniente dos navios
IMO's Marine Environment Protection
Committee (MEPC) in 2018 adopted the
International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Action
Plan to address marine plastic litter from ships,
which aims to enhance existing regulations and
introduce new supporting measures to reduce
marine plastic litter from ships.
Em 2018, o Comité de Proteção do Ambiente Marinho (MEPC) da OMI adoptou o Plano de Ação da Organização Marítima Internacional (OMI) para combater o lixo plástico marinho proveniente dos navios, que visa reforçar a regulamentação existente e introduzir novas medidas de apoio para reduzir o lixo plástico marinho proveniente dos navios.
What is marine litter? O que é o lixo marinho?
Plastic materials in all shapes and sizes are
omnipresent in our seas and oceans. They break
down extremely slowly in the marine environment,
taking in excess of 400 years. Marine litter
originates from many sources and causes
a wide
spectrum of environmental, economic, safety,
health and cultural impacts. For example, marine
litter can cause harm to sea life if ingested or even
death if
a marine mammal becomes entangled in
litter.
Os materiais plásticos de todas as formas e tamanhos são omnipresentes nos nossos mares e oceanos. A sua decomposição no ambiente marinho é extremamente lenta, demorando mais de 400 anos. O lixo marinho tem origem em muitas fontes e causa um vasto espetro de impactos ambientais, econômicos, de segurança, de saúde e culturais. Por exemplo, o lixo marinho pode causar danos à vida marinha se for ingerido ou mesmo a morte se um mamífero marinho ficar enredado no lixo.
Marine litter has been defined by UN
Environment (United Nations Environment) as “any
persistent, manufactured or processed solid material
discarded, disposed of or abandoned in the marine
and coastal environment. O lixo marinho foi definido pela ONU Ambiente (Organização das Nações Unidas para o Ambiente) como "qualquer material sólido persistente, manufaturado ou transformado, deitado fora, eliminado ou abandonado no ambiente marinho e costeiro".
Marine litter consists of
items that have been made or used by people and
deliberately discarded into the sea or rivers or on
beaches; brought indirectly to the sea with rivers,
sewage, storm water or winds; accidentally lost,
including material lost at sea in bad weather
(fishing gear, cargo); or deliberately left by people
on beaches and shores.” O lixo marinho é constituído por objetos fabricados ou utilizados por pessoas e deliberadamente descartados no mar, nos rios ou nas praias; trazidos indiretamente para o mar pelos rios, esgotos, águas pluviais ou ventos; perdidos acidentalmente, incluindo material perdido no mar devido ao mau tempo (artes de pesca, carga); ou deliberadamente deixados por pessoas nas praias e nas costas".
Marine litter, including plastics and
microplastics, is known to result from land-based
sources in massive quantities but can also
originate from ships. Debris particles have been
observed in coastal areas, in waters far from
anthropogenic pollution sources, in surface waters,
in the water column of deep water and in ocean
sediments, and from the equator to the poles,
including trapped in sea ice. Sabe-se que o lixo marinho, incluindo os plásticos e os microplásticos, provém de fontes terrestres em grandes quantidades, mas também pode ter origem em navios. Foram observadas partículas de detritos em zonas costeiras, em águas distantes de fontes de poluição antropogênica, em águas superficiais, na coluna de água de águas profundas e em sedimentos oceânicos, e desde o equador até aos pólos, incluindo retidos no gelo marinho.
UN Environment estimates that 15% of
marine litter floats on the sea's surface, 15%
remains in the water column and 70% rests on the
seabed. As Nações Unidas para o Ambiente estimam que 15% do lixo marinho flutua à superfície do mar, 15% permanece na coluna de água e 70% repousa no fundo do mar.
According to another study, 5.25 million
plastic particles, weighing 268,940 tonnes in total,
are currently floating in the world”s oceans. De acordo com outro estudo, 5,25 milhões de partículas de plástico, com um peso total de 268 940 toneladas, flutuam atualmente nos oceanos do mundo.
What problems does marine litter cause?
Que problemas o lixo marinho causa?
In addition to the environmental and health
problems posed by marine litter, floating garbage
and plastics pose
a costly as well as dangerous
problem for shipping, as they can be
anavigational
hazard and become entangled in propellers and
rudders. Para além dos problemas ambientais e sanitários colocados pelo lixo marinho, o lixo e os plásticos flutuantes representam um problema dispendioso e perigoso para a navegação, uma vez que podem constituir um perigo para a navegação e ficar presos nas hélices e nos lemes.
Another problem requiring urgent remedial
action is the massive accumulation of plastics, not
only in coastal areas but also in the deep sea. Outro problema que exige uma ação corretiva urgente é a acumulação maciça de plásticos, não só nas zonas costeiras, mas também nas águas profundas.
This litter is harmful to marine life: sea
creatures can become trapped inside containers or
strangled by nets or ropes, and microplastics can
also enter the food chain as they are indigestible
when swallowed. Este lixo é prejudicial para a vida marinha: as criaturas marinhas podem ficar presas dentro de contentores ou estranguladas por redes ou cordas, e os microplásticos podem também entrar na cadeia alimentar, uma vez que são indigestos quando ingeridos.
