MISSION: To deliver a reliable, efficient and cost-effective network of Aids to Navigation for the benefit and safety of all Mariners. The Northern Lighthouse Board's principal concern is with safety: the safety of the mariner at sea; the safety of our own people employed in or around some of the world's most dangerous coastlines; and the safety of environment in which we, and those who come after us, must live and work. The Northern Lighthouse Board has long been at the forefront of navigational technology. The programme to automate all major lighthouses was successfully completed on 31 March 1998. The Board completed the conversion of all its statutory lit buoyage to solar power in 1997. Thereafter, an ongoing programme of modernisation and overhaul will continue well into the 21st Century. The Board has always prided itself on its efficiency and cost effectiveness. For the future, it aims to provide a reliable, low-maintenance and cost-effective network of Aids to Navigation, backed by a safe, efficient and professional support organisation. The joint General Lighthouse Authorities' policy is based on the continuing requirement for the foreseeable future for a base-level of traditional visual aids to navigation, in the form of lights, beacons and buoyage, but a decreasing reliance of these "traditional" aids to navigation and an increasing reliance on high-precision radio aids. The Joint GLAs' policy also provides a mechanism for the ongoing review of tasking and policies.

SKS OBO Limited controls 10 110,000deadweight and 1 96,000deadweight Ore-Bulk-Oil (OBO) Carriers. The concept of ships that are able to load both wet and dry cargoes is not new, however it has been refined in recent years to counter the operational shortcomings of earlier generations of such vessel. The criticisms levelled at older generations of OBOs have been answered one by one by the design of the vessels in the SKS fleet. Technical Management of the SKS fleet is handled by V.Ships Norway in Oslo. Commercial Management with Pine Limited in Bermuda, who through an agency agreement have appointed Pelican Shipping Limited in London as their Commercial Managers. KGJS has interests in other shipping companies, of which Gearbulk is probably the most well known. This makes possible certain economies of scale and a pool of knowledge in specific areas, of which SKS is able to take advantage. Both KGJS and CSAV are visionary companies with plans for the future. KGJS had ordered from Hyundai Heavy Industries in Korea a further two OBO carriers of 121,000dwt as well as a number of 160,000dwt Suezmax tankers for delivery during 2003. These will be commercially managed by Pelican Shipping Limited alongside the SKS OBOs.

The new standard. The original concept of SalvageSale was simple but revolutionary: create an online marketplace for salvage buyers and sellers to come together in a transparent environment and let them determine fair market value; allow product expertise and technology to bring more buyers to each auction. Today, the genesis of SalvageSale has evolved into the gold standard: our nationwide services network, global marketplace and consistently proven results makes us the trusted partner to insurance professionals, risk managers and asset managers. Global reach redefines competition. Historically, salvage auctions were conducted at the local level. This meant a limited number of buyers participated in each sale, often leaving the seller with only a fraction of the product's fair market value. And most salvage and surplus buyers lacked access to a predictable source of supply. By connecting sellers - insurance companies, transportation companies, retailers, corporate asset managers - with a vast source of domestic and international buyers, SalvageSale has created the preeminent salvage and surplus marketplace. By matching a reliable source of salvage and surplus with buyers from all over the world, the SalvageSale marketplace enables free market competition and delivers greater returns. With each sale, SalvageSale applies its proprietary bidXchangeTM auction format, which ensures fair competition among bidders and full visibility for all sellers. First, we create a detailed product listing that showcases the product's features and history. For specialized products, our highly skilled buyer outreach department brings in new buyers by searching for potential markets and product applications. For commodity products, our market makers tap into our global base of buyers who have expressed an interest in a specific product category. In the auction, integrity is the fundamental element. Both buyers and sellers can watch the auction unfold real-time. And when the auction closes, we ensure both the buyer and seller are equally protected by handling all payments through an escrow account. In addition, detailed reporting on the auction results is made available to the seller. Our seller members include: Property and casualty insurance, marine insurance, inland marine insurance, shipping lines, railroads, trucking companies, retail distributors, manufacturers, and corporate asset managers. Our buyer members include: Both domestic and international product end-users, brokers, re-manufacturers, used equipment buyers, distributors, and purchasing managers.
