Container ship

“Their bodies lie bare and afloat only to announce their coming but never their presence.” The life of an immigrant is often in danger, physically or mentally. Whether crossing the US/Mexico border, barely staying afloat in the Mediterranean, reliving their trauma while applying for citizenship, or leaving their loved ones behind, almost every experience of migration is unimaginably difficult. Refugees and other immigrants though have become a highly scrutinized population in recent years…

Abstract This paper will provide continued research on the impact the United States Border Patrol (USBP) has had on port and maritime security. Additionally, the history and the inception of the USBP has a long and distinguished history of achievements and with the continued support of present and future administrations they will continue to lead the fight. Terrorism and criminal activity is a trend that has plagued the United States since September 11, 2001. With the incorporation of the…

“Traffickers often hide drugs among legitimate cargo in maritime containers, a fraction of which are inspected. Analysis of commercial maritime seizure data for 2004 through 2009 indicates that cocaine and marijuana are most often smuggled in commercial maritime vessels from Caribbean locations, such as the Dominican Republic…

thrive in it. I decide to interview my mother. My mother was a supervisor in environmental cleanup. The job was physically demanding, it required hours of strenuous work. The work was cleaning anything that had hazardous materials, including ships, containers, and buildings. She was in charge of 20 people this includes men and women. She said it was difficult to handle these individuals. She explains, “It wasn’t because I was a woman, but I was their leader.” My mother's example shows that women…

routes; the government learned that there exist more than 500,000 commercial flights, that over 5 million travel by sea or ocean liners and that there exist in excess of 100 million vehicles and over 80,000 merchant passengers’ ships with excess of 7million shipping containers and over 100,000 small vessels. They learned that drugs travel through the Central America – Mexico Corridor and drugs enter the United States from the Jamaica Maritime methods to Canada, Europe and New York, Boston,…

not be shipped out using two factors: a percentage ranging from 10-90% of the number of packages that would be missed and varying the number of shipments that need to be shipped out 1 hour before CPT. For example, one hour before CPT pack needs to ship out 500 singles packages by CPT, assuming we miss 10% will lead to a cost to upgrade. To find this cost to upgrade, I talked to our Senior Leadership Team and was able to find that the average cost to upgrade per package is $2.85. From this I was…

freight and sea freight. When considering shipping costs, sea freight is the obvious choice since it is much cheaper than air freight, especially for large shipments. A Defra study concludes that two tonnes of freight carried for 5000km by a small container ship creates 150kg of CO2e (a measure of relative global warming potential) compared to 6605kg of CO2e if the freight is carried by plane for the same distance (Fijitimes, 2015). Since Fjällräven is focused on being green and has a diverse…

1724. It consisted of four parts all, of which Bernoulli found interesting while in Venice. The first part is of little importance and only showed that Bernoulli was learning about probability. The second part was the flow of water from a hole in a container and talked about Newton’s theories which were wrong. This shows that Bernoulli was interested in pressure and had not yet solved the problem of it yet, but was heading in the right direction. The third part was on the Riccati differential…

water. Water is one of the fundamental needs for life to strive and prosper, but water scarcity and water pollution is a large issue for our lives today. In a direct link to the reading assignment of “The Box”, some ships sometimes leak oil into the ocean and sometimes the containers that they carry can fall into the ocean due to weak securement and could have damaging chemicals that could harm the life that live in that area. Due to the harmful effects of the toxic waste, some areas called Dead…

property that crosses the borders on a daily basis. The Functional Equivalent of the Border concept applies to the need to conduct inspections and searches at other locations other than the actual border. These other locations include the ports where ships dock or at the airports where millions of travelers enter and exit the country.…
