The Protection of the Arctic Marine Environment Working Group (PAME) is one of six Arctic Council working groups. PAME was first established under the 1991 Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy and was continued by the 1996 Ottawa Charter that established the Arctic Council. PAME is the focal point of the Arctic Council's activities related to the protection and sustainable use of the Arctic marine environment. It has a specific mandate to keep under review the adequacy of global and regional legal, policy and other measures, and where necessary to make recommendations for improvements that would support the Arctic Council's Arctic Marine Strategic Plan (2004). PAME carries out activities as set out in bi-annual work plans approved by the Arctic Council on the recommendation of the Senior Arctic Officials. These activities led by PAME include circumpolar and regional action programmes and guidelines complementing existing legal arrangements aimed at protection of the Arctic marine environment from both land and sea-based activities. The Permanent Participants (Indigenous Organizations) of the Arctic Council participate actively in the work of PAME. PAME works in close collaboration with the other five Arctic Council Working Groups.

Since the development of the first commercial safety shield for pipe connections in 1958 by RAMCO® Manufacturing Co., Inc., there has been worldwide acceptance of safety shields on piping systems to prevent personnel injury and equipment damage due to a chemical sprayout. The effectiveness of RAMCO® Safety Shields has been demonstrated in thousands of installations in industrial manufacturing plants, government facilities and on naval and commercial ships. With the growing awareness of the importance of safety in the environment, RAMCO® Safety Shields are a natural fit in processes involving hazardous or toxic chemicals. In addition to their safety features, they permit cost reduction. Shields not only contribute to worker health by minimizing absenteeism due to accidents caused by contact with leaking chemicals but also control costs by eliminating the need for worker replacement training. With the use of safety shields to protect personnel from chemical sprayouts, stable health insurance rates can be maintained and workmen's compensation claims controlled. HOW RAMCO® SAFETY SHIELDS PROTECT... Safety shields prevent sprayouts by interposing an impregnable barrier between the chemical flowing through the piping system and the external environment. To provide this protection, RAMCO® Shields are manufactured in various materials that resist the hazardous or toxic chemicals commonly used in process industries at varying temperatures and pressures. By selecting the appropriate material for an application, virtually all situations can be safeguarded. To select the proper safety shield, it is necessary to be familiar with the physical characteristics of the special materials that are used in the manufacture of RAMCO® Safety Shields and to correlate this information with the chemical, temperature and pressure rating within the piping system. RAMCO® Safety Shields can be divided into three major groups: SPRA-GARD® Shields ECONO-GARD® Shields Metal Safety Shields Each group contains shields that are manufactured from different materials. Each type can be fabricated in any size to accommodate any piping system. While this selection is sufficient to handle most applications, special safety shields also can be customized on request. RAMCO® Safety Shields have been designed and manufactured with many essential quality characteristics. A detailed explanation of these quality features may be found in the RAMCO® SAFETY SHIELD MANUAL. A free copy is available on request. RAMCO® Safety Shields are manufactured for all pipe connections: Flanges Valves of all kinds Expansion Joints Flow Meters Hose Couplings Heat Exchangers Pressure Vessels Elbows Couplings Unions Tees Clamps Pumps Instruments Customized Connections

Welcome to Shell Exploration and Production The Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Companies - usually known as Shell - has grown out of an alliance, made in 1907 between Royal Dutch Petroleum Company in The Netherlands and The "Shell" Transport and Trading Company, p.l.c., in the UK. Today the Group has five core businesses of which Exploration and Production is one. The others are Oil Products, Chemicals, Gas and Power, and Renewables. Shell companies have been exploring for and producing hydrocarbons for over a century. Today, they have interests in exploration and production ventures in 34 countries and employ around 28,500 staff. Exploration and production is the foundation of the petroleum industry. Sometimes known as the `upstream' business, it extends from the search for hydrocarbons, through to the delivery of oil or gas to the refinery. Shell companies continue to face the challenge of exploring for and producing oil and gas against a background of fluctuating prices and have responded with innovative technical solutions. Research efforts are directed towards ever more sophisticated technologies that can increase cost efficiency while improving safety and environmental performance.

Formation IFSMA was formed in 1974 by Eight European Shipmasters' Associations to unite the World's serving Shipmasters into a single professional co-ordinated body. It is not a trade union. It is a non-profit making, apolitical organisation dedicated solely to the interest of the serving shipmaster. Over 8000 Shipmasters from more than 40 Countries are affiliated to IFSMA either through their National Associations (36) or as Individual Members (55). Purpose IFSMA is a Federation established to uphold International Standards of Professional Competence for Seafarers commensurate with the need to ensure Safe Operational Practices, Preservation from Human Injury, Protection of the Marine Environment and Safety of Life and Property at Sea. IMO Status IFSMA was Granted Consultative Status at IMO in 1975. This Consultative Status enables the Federation to represent the views and protect the interests of the serving Shipmasters unfettered and unfiltered either by National Governments or by Labour Organizations. To enable IFSMA to function effectively at IMO, it is represented in the Four Main Committees (MSC-MEPC-LEG-FAL) by the General Secretary and a team of former Shipmasters who also attend the Nine Sub-Committees (BLG - COMSAR - DE - DSC - FP - FSI - NAV - SLF - STW). When needed serving Shipmasters provide additional expertise in the various Working and Drafting Groups. IMO Involvement Top of Page IFSMA provided a Consultant to assist in the Comprehensive Review and Revision of the 1978 STCW Convention, and actively participated in the Joint ICAO/IMO Group of Experts on the Harmonization of Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue. IFSMA also sat on the Steering Committee on Ro-Ro Ferry Safety which supervised the work of the Panel of Experts and made recommendations to MSC 65. This was without cost to IMO and was, for some two years an additional commitment to our normal work of representing Shipmasters' views on this International Platform. IMO Missions Top of Page IFSMA has now provided TWO MARITIME SPECIALISTS, each forming part of an IMO NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND PROGRAMMING TEAM within the framework of IMO's Integrated Technical Co-Operation Programme (ITCP). The first Mission was to Bulgaria (Black Sea) in December 1995 and the second Mission was to Ukraine and Georgia (CIS/Eastern Europe) in January/February 1996. IMO Studies Top of Page IFSMA prepared papers on the safety of double-hull tankers for both IMO and the USCG when discussions on this subject were at their peak in 1991. It submitted with IMPA a Joint Paper on Bridge Information Display to NAV38 and, with the Government of the Bahamas, it amended Towing Guidelines which had been proposed earlier in 1992 by Germany. In 1993 IFSMA devised a Bulk Carrier Ship-Shore Checklist for MSC62 and submitted a BESMA Paper on Quality Management in Seafarers' Training to STW25. IMO Papers Top of Page In 1994 IFSMA submitted 12 separate Papers on various aspects of Loading and Unloading Bulk Cargoes for the attention of BC33. These produced four MSC Circulars. At the end of 1995 IFSMA, Co-Sponsored by ICS and ICFTU, submitted a paper on Black Sea Search and Rescue to COMSAR 1 while a second paper on amendments to the IMOSAR and MERSAR Manuals was submitted jointly by ICS and IFSMA. A comprehensive ACOMM Technical Paper on Modifications to the Freeboard and Stability Rules of medium sized ships will be submitted to IMO in the Spring of 1996 for discussion at SLF 40 in September this year. IMO and IFSMA Objectives Top of Page IFSMA is a strong supporter of IMO in its quest for safer shipping and cleaner oceans. It is the desire of The Federation to assist IMO in achieving a truly global implementation and rigorous enforcement of its International Treaties so that there is no need for any Country to resort to Regulatory Measures on either a National or a Regional basis. IFSMA has much approved of the Secretary-General's initiative to speed up Entry into Force and Amendment procedures, and continues to fully support his initiatives for a thorough and comprehensive review of Bulk Carrier Safety and Ro-Ro Ferry Safety in all their aspects. Policy Top of Page IFSMA has long held the firm belief that Shipowners and Ship Management Companies should hold a Safety Management Document of Compliance issued by the Flag State Administration before being permitted to operate ships, that increased scrapping of antiquated and sub-standard ships should be speeded up, and that world wide regional Port State Control is now top priority. In particular there should be a total ban, effective world wide, on the re-registration of ships for commercial trading once they have been sold for scrap and demolition. Shipmasters Defined Top of Page IFSMA defines Shipmasters as those who are in possession of an Internationally recognised Certificate of Competency, issued by the Government of an established Maritime Nation who are serving or have previously served, in Command of Seagoing Ships whether or not engaged upon International or Domestic Trade. Shipmaster's Status in IFSMA Top of Page Once a man has risen to the rank of Shipmaster he is forever entitled to belong to IFSMA and there is no requirement in our Statutes for the periodic revalidation of his Certificate of Competency (as there is in the STCW Convention). But if he were to lose his licence due to negligence, incompetence, or misconduct then he would no longer qualify for membership of the Federation. Other Organisations Top of Page Trade Unions, National Associations, Professional Institutes and Learned Societies are all equally welcome as Shipmasters Organizations in affiliation with IFSMA and there is no distinction made between them. 21st March 1996
