Administrative Offences Help is issued for the acquisition of weapons will not do. Said medical certificate is presented as passing the skipper technical inspection of the vessel. According to the adopted changes in the rules of certification of skippers GIFT will not get certification for operators of small boats with motors 5 hp and less That is, owners of electric motors, and outboard engines with a capacity of less 5l.s. seemed to be enough to rub their hands. Now they do not need to spend money on a costly training and to obtain "rights." But do not rush to do so. Here is an excerpt from the changes - "the state inspection certifies the skippers and will issue a certificate of competence for self-propelled vessels of inland navigation tonnage less than 80 tons of the main engines of more than 3.68 and not more than 55 kilowatts or outboard engines power more than 3.68 kilowatts. " The key word here - attests. I would like to draw the attention of navigators that No other regulatory documents that prescribe a skipper's license for the right to control small boat regardless of the type and engine power is not changed. Therefore, representatives of GIFT may require the presentation of the master's "rights" and, accordingly, to impose an administrative penalty for lack thereof, irrespective of the power installed on board the engine. And while there will be added appropriate changes to the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation and Terms of Use small boats on water bodies of the Russian Federation on water conflicts are possible. In addition, in the form and certificate of competence small boat motor power is not specified, and specifies only the type of vessel, skipper who has the right to control - motor boat, boat, jet ski or...

Air Transportation The concept of 'dimensional weight' comes from the fact that the board of any aircraft has a limit of space. For example, a plane carrying capacity is 30,000 kg, and the aggregate amount of its cargo bay is only 120 m3. In this case, it is clear that airlines make air travel more interesting to 30,000 kg heavy goods (eg steel molds) than 120 m3 bulk cargo (eg, diapers). Thus, the term 'bulk load' is introduced to bring ratio weight / volume of goods to a common denominator. Forgetting a "detail" can be significantly go beyond the budget planned for, and without that, not a cheap air travel goods. Coefficient for calculating the amount of weight in air transport: 6 cubic meters per metric ton, ie, 1 m3 = 167 kg pay-weight. Give an outline of the calculation of bulk cargo: 1) You must calculate the volume of each box in meters, ie, length x width x height multiplied by number of boxes - you get the volume of your shipment. 2) Then multiply the volume by a factor of 167 - we get the volumetric weight. It may be more than the actual total weight of the load. If so, the bulk density and will be paid for, that is, for calculate the air fares to deliver the resulting increase in bulk density. For example: the need to deliver three boxes about the size 120h60h90 cm and weighing 40 kg each. Translate size of one box in meters and multiply: 1.2 * 0.6 * 0.9 = 0.648 m3 is volume of a box. 0.648 * 3 = 1.944 m 3 - the amount of three boxes. Multiply the amount on the 167, we get 1.944 * 167 = 324 kg - a unit weight. We see that the weight...
