My Academy

There are several educational establishments in Russia which train specialists of Merchant Marine. One of these institutes is situated in Novorossiysk. Its branch is in Rostov-on-Don. It is called the Branch Admiral Ushakov Maritime Academy. It has three departments: Navigation, Engineering and Economics and Management. Every year a lot of entrants take examinations to become the cadets of Maritime Academy.

The cadets wear uniform and have some specific duties. For example, they keep watch, line up every morning, tighten up on discipline and observe Academy Statute.

The course of study lasts 5 years. At the end of study the cadets hold examinations for academy leaving certificates. One of these examinations is English.

Each year has two terms. Cadets attend classes and lectures and at the end of term they have tests and exams where they can demonstrate their progress.

The cadets study various subjects within the period of training. Future transport managers have Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, History, Culturology, Economics, Physical training, etc. As to English, its course is divided into two steps: General Language and Language for Special Purpose. English is closely connected with other subjects such as Port Management, Marketing, Transport Logistics, Transport Law, Theory of Ship’s Construction and others. It is important for marine shipping and commercial practice.

On graduating from the academy cadets will work in ports and other commercial organizations of marine transport as managers, brokers, agents.

Read this and take into cosideration ! A job is the work that a person does regularly in order to earn money. A profession is a job that requires special training, often a university education and brings a rather high social status. An occupation is a job or profession. A career is the series of jobs that a person does in his or her life, usually in one and the same field.

 

2. Some questions you will be interested in!

Who works in the port?

Shipping agents, forwarders, transport managers, economists, tallymen, stevedores, superintendants and surveyors carry out organization of port and cargo operations. All of them have their own duties.

UNIT 2. SHIPPING

1. Read and translate the text:

Shipping together with other means of transport services the branches of economics in sphere of production and commodity circulation. Since natural resources and industrial production are allocated unevenly on the Earth, shipping is a necessary condition of stability and economic development.

Shipping doesn’t create material product, like agriculture, which produces wheat. This product can be exchanged for money or other goods. However, shipping creates the cost in consequence of a shifting the goods from the areas of production to the areas of consumption, where they can be exchanged for money. For example, iron ore, which is in deposits in tropical jungles, has no any practical value. But iron ore delivered to the areas of steel-melting plants gets customer cost.

Shipping is a branch of manufacturing, which provides the society with transport services and ensures needs in transportation. Organization of shipping operation must correspond to conditions of transshipment taking its source from peculiarities of international marine trade. Shippers require not only transportation of goods on particular line, but regular service of reliable voyages according to the firm schedule. Shipowner must meet these requirements, especially as to reliable regular service, since only this quality permits the consumers to get maximum profit from shipping.

Exporters and importers usually do business under terms of supplies agreed before being sure in due delivery of goods. Actually, some commercial enterprises couldn’t be in position to keep in stock a large amount of goods subject to deterioration inevitable while irregular supplies. They objectively depend on regular supply of comparatively small consignments of goods, delivered by the ships at particular intervals.

 

Transportation

A good transport system is needed if goods are to be traded efficiently. A Shipper can choose to send his consignment (the goods) to the Consignee by:

- water, which covers both national and international shipping;

- land, by road or by rail;

- air.

Like all other means of transport, shipping has certain advantages and disadvantages for Shipper and Consignee:

+	-
It is the cheapest form of transport over longer distance.   Unlimited distances can be covered (e.g. between continents)   Large quantities of cargo can be transported.	It is the slowest means of transport.     It may be subject to delays due to weather conditions.   The insurance costs are relatively high.

 

 

There are several types of sea-going ships which carry cargo:

- Liners sail on a fixed route and keep to a schedule. They mainly transport general cargo, containers.

- Tramps take any cargo they can get and sail to any port required. They do not follow a schedule or any fixed route. As a rule, they carry bulk cargo and timber.

- Coasters travel from one port to another along the coast of a country. They are not used for international shipping.

The transport document used specifically for ocean shipping is the Bill of Lading.

When goods are transported, they are called “cargo”. Cargo can be divided into three categories:

- General cargo – goods sent packed in boxes, cases, crates and containers.

- Bulk cargo – large quantities of items such as sand, grain, ore and coal when sent unpacked.

- Bulky cargo – large individual items such as cars sent unpacked.

Liner – линейное судно

Tramp – трамповое судно

Coaster – каботажное судно

Bill of Lading – коносамент (накладная для морских перевозок )

FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Learning a foreign language is not an easy thing. It is long and slow process that takes a lot of time and efforts. Nowadays it is especially important to know foreign languages. Some people learn languages because they need them for their work, others travel abroad, for some people studying languages is just a hobby. Everyone who knows foreign languages can speak to people from other countries, read foreign authors in original. It’s fun. It is not surprising that many intellectuals and well educated people are polyglots. The great German poet Goethe once said: “He, who knows no foreign language, does not know his own one.” That’s absolutely right. If we want to understand ourselves and environment we should study foreign languages.

As for me, I study English. English is an international language, it is the main language of business, science, politics and cultural relations. Nowadays 750 million people all over the world use it. Over 300 million people speak it as a mother tongue. The native speakers of English live in Great Britain, the USA, Australia and New Zealand. Besides, English is one of the official languages of the Irish Republic, Canada, the South Africa, India and many other countries of the world.

English is the main language of computers and technology. Three quarters of the world’s mail are in English. It is the language of sports. I should say that English is a wonderful language, it is the language of great literature, the language of William Shakespeare, Jonathan Swift, Walter Scott, Charles Dickens.

There are many ways of learning a language. In order to master English, to brush it up and to keep it up we practise grammar together with vocabulary, we have a lot of drills at our English lessons. Practice helps us to memorise words, up-to-date idioms and phrasal verbs. We also read texts, translate them, write tests and dictations, make up and act out dialogues, speak about different things and we learn social English to know what sort of English to use in different situations. At our English lessons we pay much attention to English intonation and pronunciation because if you get it wrong, people think you are rude. It is important to learn how to ask for information, how to be polite.

I guess it is helpful to read English books, to watch English films, to have private lessons, to use educational computer programmes and it seems to me that the most effective way is going to English speaking country. I want to know English because I like speaking English.

I want to use English in my future job. I want to use computer programmes in English, besides I want to travel to Britain or to the USA and meet a lot of people and to talk to them in English.

Unit 5. Ship’s crew

 

SHIP’S CREW

All people who serve on board a ship are ship’s crew. Master is the head of the ship. He is responsible for ship, her cargo and crew. He has three assistants: the Chief Mate, the Second Mate, the Third Mate. Each of them has his own duties.

They wash and scrub decks, do painting, clean and wash cargo holds and tanks after discharging and prepare them before loading. Proper preparation is essential. The holds and other compartments must be clean, dry and well aired. Boatswain must supervise the sailors’ work.

On board ship the Cargo Officer (or the Second Officer) is responsible for the safe and efficient handling and stowage of cargo. He sees to preparations for loading. Under his supervision the crewmen also get ready the ship’s winches, derricks and cranes.

The Third Mate is responsible for navigational charts. He plots course, takes bearings and defines ship’s position.

Engine Department is the Engine-Room. It is the heart of the ship. Main propulsion power plant, auxiliary mechanisms are in the Engine-Room. The head of the E\R is the Chief Engineer. He has three assistants: the Second Engineer, the Third Engineer, the Fourth Engineer. They maintain E\R machinery and ensure safe operation of main engine.

Catering Department is galley and messroom for officers and ratings. The Head of this department is the Chief Cook.

RUSSIAN MERCHANT MARINE

(from “General course of Transport”)

Modern Russian Merchant Marine includes 200 organizations and enterprises, more than 10 Shipping Companies, 10 seamanships, 21 sea ports, the majority of which are the ports of the 1^st Class, and 11 shiprepair yards.

Today the Russian Merchant Marine is a branch of national economy. There is no coastal country or region in the world with which Russia is unable to carry on trade using its own tonnage.

Russian ships carry a half of the world’s volume of cargo. The turnover of Russia is 290 mln tonnes every year. Vessels carry equipment for engineering industry, mining machinery, machine tools and instruments.

2 mln tonnes of coal, 1,5 mln tonnes of ore, 1 mln tonnes of metals, 8 mln tonnes of oil, 2 mln tonnes of timber, 400, 000 tonnes of grain were transported by the Russian ships last year.

Merchant marine of the USSR had the 4^th place in its tonnage in the world after Liberia, Panama and Japan.

The disorder of the USSR resulted in some geographical changes. So nowadays a number of refrigerated ships belongs to the Latvian Shipping Company and some passenger liners to the Black Sea Seamanship.

But there is also another disadvantage of Russian Merchant Marine. Russian ships are old, their age is more than 20 years. 50 % of them are out of use and not suitable for transportation of cargo.

The Russian Federation is developing. Our economic power is growing. This opens the great prospects before our merchant fleet. We hope, Russian Merchant Marine will be well-equipped and technically advanced in the nearest future.

Our Maritime Education is expanding. A lot of well-qualified specialists will work in Shipping Companies and operate our Russian vessels. Their knowledge and skills will change the situation.

(from “Guide to Port Entry”)

The seaport of Novorossiysk is situated in the north-eastern part of the Black Sea, at the top of the Novorossiyskaya (Tsemesskaya) Bukhta (Bay).

Navigation is year-round. In winter, strong, gusty NE winds (called “Bora”), reaching hurricane force at times, blow from the coastal mountains. Due to these winds, vessels lying at anchor in Novorrossiysk Bay may very quickly become covered with ice when the temperature of the air is cooled below freezing point.

It is impossible to enter the port when “Bora” blows, therefore, all vessels are recommended to leave the Novorossiysk Bay for the open sea beforehand or lay at anchor in the Yuzhnaya Ozereika Roads, at the distance of 8.5 miles westward of the entrance to the port of Novorossiysk.

The port consists of two harbours: Dry Cargo Harbour and Sheskharis Oil Harbour.

The inner roads are situated at the head of Novorossiysk Bay and divided from the outer roads by the Western and Eastern Moles. The outer roads are situated between the moles and the Southern border of the port.

The Dry Cargo Harbour situated inside the inner roads is protected by
2 (western and eastern) moles.

Pilotage is compulsory. Vessels must give the ETA, name of the vessel, gross tonnage, exact draft, description and quantity of cargo, location and weights of heavy lifts (if any), type of engine 96 hours prior arrival.
