This application relates to storage tanks for the storage of solids and liquids and more particularly to tanks adapted to withstand earthquake conditions. Even more specifically, this application relates to liquid natural gas tanks of single-wall and double-wall construction having prestressed tendons connected thereto to assist the tank in withstanding horizontal displacement forces and overturning moments which occur during earthquake conditions.
The problem of designing tanks so that they withstand earthquake loadings has long confronted the art. In particular, the problems of designing liquid natural gas tanks to withstand the peculiar and unique loads which occur during earthquakes has not been satisfactorily solved.
It is known, for example, to stiffen tanks by attaching vertical anchor straps to the sides thereof and securing these in a concrete base for the tank, as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,562,986. This design is inadequate to protect the tank from the stresses caused by an earthquake because it is necessary for the tank to actually be displaced horizontally and vertically and to suffer some overturning displacement before a restraining force is developed in the anchor straps. It is also known to use tensioned guys in connection with tanks as shown, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 2,386,958. This design is also inadequate to protect the tank from the stresses caused by an earthquake because the tendons are not attached to the base and their main purpose is to add stability to the supporting structure, not to provide an initial restraint against earthquake forces.
It is understood that earthquake forces in the environs of a liquid-containing tank generate horizontal and vertical forces on the tank. The horizontal acceleration of a tank generates dynamic forces within the contained solid or liquid which act outwardly on one side of the tank and inwardly on the opposite side. The result is a net force, acting horizontally, which tends to move the tank in a horizontal direction and create a horizontal shear at a section above the bottom of the tank. Since the horizontal force acts at some distance above the bottom it thereby creates an overturning moment as well.
While the overturning moment is to some extent counteracted by a stabilizing moment due to the weight of the tank structure, under certain earthquake conditions this stabilizing moment is insufficient, and potentially dangerous tensile and compressive stresses may develop in the tank walls. The compressive stresses develop in the tank wall on the side that resists the horizontally acting force and tensile stresses develop in the opposite wall. In these circumstances it is necessary to provide external means for stabilizing the tanks and typically anchor straps are used as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,562,986. However, the problems discussed above remain and the tank is still vulnerable to damage under earthquake conditions.
Because the direction of the horizontal force due to earthquake is unknown, and may be from any direction, it has also been necessary to distribute anchor straps around the entire base of the wall of steel tanks in particular. The large number of anchor straps provide a fairly great cross section and where cryogenic liquids are being stored these anchor straps provide a significant heat influx into the tank and create thermal problems in the tank foundation.
It is thus a primary object of this invention to improve the integrity of liquid-or solid-containing tanks under earthquake conditions.
It is a further and related object of this invention to reduce the tendency for such tanks to displace horizontally or to overturn and to mitigate the stresses caused by those forces and moments, respectively, due to earthquake conditions.
It is another related object of this invention to improve the safety of such tanks and to avoid the failures of prior art tank configurations by preventing any displacement or overturning of tanks due to earthquake conditions.
It is a related object of this invention to minimize the heat influx to a cryogenic liquid storage tank contributed by anchor straps or the like as used in prior art designs.
These and other objects of the invention are achieved by adapting a stationary tank which includes a base and side walls for containing liquids or solids with at least one and, in substantially all embodiments, a plurality of tendons, which are positioned and prestressed to restrain a side wall from horizontal displacement and to mitigate the vertical stresses therein caused by earthquake conditions. The tendons act to artificially increase the weight of the tank and thereby increase the stabilizing moment which must be higher than the overturning moment during earthquake conditions. The prestressed tendon is connected at one end to a side wall and at the other end to a fixed anchor. Typically, the base of the tank comprises a concrete footing which extends beneath the tank floor and horizontally outwardly of the side walls and the anchor for the prestressed tendon is fixedly positioned in the concrete footing.
The invention has particular application to tanks which include a concrete base, a vertically-positioned cylindrical side wall and a roof. Such tanks are provided with a plurality of prestressed tendons, each of which tendons is affixed at one end to the cylindrical side wall and at the other end to an anchor which is fixedly positioned in the concrete base at a point horizontally spaced from the side wall. Each of the tendons is stressed. Desirably, each of the plurality of tendons is affixed to an upper part of the cylindrical side wall at a separate connection place and each of the connections are spaced from one another in equal angular increments around the circumference of the cylindrical tank wall. The height of the connection of the prestressed tendon to the cylindrical side wall is determined according to the possible earthquake forces which may be encountered and the details of construction of the tank. Steel tanks will have a connection lower on the cylindrical side wall than prestressed concrete tanks, because of the possibility of the buckling of the thin steel shell in its upper part.
A plurality of tendons may be affixed to a single anchor or desirably each tendon may be affixed to a separate anchor which is fixedly positioned in the concrete base in equal angular increments around the circumference of the tank and horizontally outwardly of the cylindrical side wall. However, the tendons may also be affixed to anchors around the circumference of the tank and positioned horizontally inwardly of the cylindrical side wall.
In the preferred embodiments described in connection with the drawings, the invention is used to adapt a stationary tank for the storage of liquids or solids, having a concrete base, a vertically-positioned, cylindrical side wall of prestressed concrete on the base and a roof. The plurality of prestressed tendons are connected at one end to the upper part of the cylindrical side wall and at the other end to anchors fixedly positioned in the concrete base at a point radially displaced from the connection between tendon and side wall and the plurality of tendons is equally distributed around the circumference of the tank. The anchors may be positioned radially inwardly or outwardly of the connection between tendon and side wall and desirably the tendons include means for varying the tension therewithin.
The invention can be applied to double-wall storage tanks for cryogenic liquids. Such double-wall tanks include an inner wall as described above and an outer cylindrical side wall of prestressed concrete, in addition. The inner and outer walls are separated by insulation. A first plurality of prestressed tendons is equally distributed around the outer circumference of the inner wall and each of the tendons is connected at one end to a separate upper part of the inner wall and at the outer end to a separate anchor fixedly positioned in the concrete base at a point radially outwardly of the point at which the tendon is connected to the inner wall and radilly inwardly of the outer wall. A second plurality of prestressed tendons is equally distributed around the inner circumference of the outer wall, each of the tendons being connected at one end to a separate upper part of the outer wall and at the other end to a separate anchor fixedly positioned in the concrete base at a point radially inwardly of the point at which the tendon is connected to the outer wall and radially outwardly of the inner wall.
The invention is further described in connection with the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a cylindrical concrete tank adapted according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of a cylindrical steel tank adapted according to the invention;
FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing indicating several of the forces upon the tank of FIG. 1 under earthquake loading conditions;
FIG. 4 is a cross-section view of a double-wall liquid natural gas tank adapted according to the invention;
FIG. 5 is a cross-section view of a detail of a typical connection between prestressing tendon and a steel tank wall according to the invention; and
FIG. 6 is a detailed view of a concrete anchor employed according to the invention.
Turning to FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 identifies a cylindrical tank adapted according to the invention. Tank 10 includes cylindrical wall 12 which is erected on concrete base 14 which extends horizontally outwardly of the circumference of cylindrical wall 12. Reference numeral 16 identifies a plurality of prestressed steel tendons which are anchored at their lower ends 18 in concrete base 14 and which are connected at connection points 20 along the upper and outer side of cylindrical wall 12. As will be apparent to those skilled in the art, tendons 16 may be substantially radial of the tank 10 as shown or may cross as shown by dotted lines 16a, b, c and d or may be in other configurations as dictated by design considerations.
FIG. 2 depicts a steel tank 21 having a steel, cylindrical side wall 23. Attached to wall 23 are a plurality of tendons 25 which extend outwardly of wall 23 in a crisscross configuration and which are anchored in base 27. All of tendons 25 are stressed in accordance with the invention.
Turning to FIG. 3, reference numerals 12, 14 and 16 refer to the cylindrical side wall, concrete base and prestressed tendons, respectively, as discussed in connection with FIG. 1. Reference numeral 22 identifies the force P exerted in a horizontal direction against the left side of cylindrical wall 12 due to the horizontal acceleration caused by movements of the earth under earthquake conditions. Force P acts at a height identified by "h", reference numeral 24, above the base 14 of the tank. Reference numeral 26 identifies the overturning moment Mov to which the tank is subjected due to the earthquake forces. Reference numeral 28 identifies the vertical tension force qstr. in prestressed tendon 16; reference numeral 29 identifies the weight of the tank QT ; and reference numeral 31 identifies the total downward force from the tendons.
As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the tension in prestressed tendon 16 can be adjusted so as to restrain cylindrical side wall 12 from horizontal displacement due to horizontal force P and likewise to mitigate the compressive stresses developed in the left side of cylindrical wall 12 and the tensile stresses developed in the right side of cylindrical wall 12 due to overturning moment Mov. The amount of tension in tendon 16 and the number of tendons is a function of the size and geometry of the tank, the weight of liquid contained therein, the configuration and weight of the side walls, etc., as will be well understood by those skilled in the art. Thus, it will be understood that the overturning moment Mov is Pxh and the stabilizing moment Mstab is (QT +Qstr)R where R is the radius of the tank and n is the number of strands and that proper design must ensure that Mstab >Mov.
Turning to FIG. 4, a double-wall, storage tank for cryogenic liquids is shown there which is adapted to withstand horizontal displacement forces and overturning moments acting upon the side walls thereof under earthquake conditions. Reference numeral 40 identifies a concrete base upon which prestressed concrete inner wall 44 and prestressed concrete outer wall 54, respectively, are erected in substantially vertical, cylindrical configuration. Both inner wall 44 and outer wall 54 have vertical, prestressed tendons 46 and 56, respectively, as well as circumferential prestressing tendons 50 and 58, respectively, as is known in the art. Reference numerals 52 and 60 identify the mortar covering the circumferential prestressed tendons 50 and 58, respectively. Reference numeral 48 identifies insulation blocks upon which cylindrical inner wall 44 is mounted. Reference numeral 62 identifies a roof structure which spans the space enclosed by outer wall 54. The annular space between inner wall 44 and outer wall 54 is filled with an insulating material such as perlite 64. Reference numeral 41 identifies the cryogenic liquid contained within the space defined by inner cylindrical wall 44 and reference numerals 42a and 42b identify pilings beneath base 40 for protecting the double-wall tank from extremely great earthquake loads.
In order to restrain inner wall 44 from horizontal displacement and vertical stresses under earthquake loading conditions, a plurality of prestressing tendons 66 are distributed around the circumference of inner wall 44, substantially as shown in FIG. 1. The prestressing tendons are equally distributed in angular increments around the circular circumference of the inner wall. Each prestressing tendon 66 is connected at its upper end to a connector 68 which is fixed to the upper part of inner cylindrical side wall 44 on the outer surface thereof. The lower part of each of the prestressed tendons 66 is fixed in an anchor 70 set in concrete base 40 at a position outwardly of inner wall 44 and inwardly of outer wall 54. The stress in tendon 66 therefore acts radially outwardly on connector 68 as well as downwardly.
Attached to outer wall 54 are a plurality of prestressed tendons 72 which are in turn connected at equal angular increments around the circular circumference of outer wall 54 by means of connectors 74. The prestressed tendons 72 are attached at their lower end to anchor 70, as described above, and exert their force radially inwardly as well as downwardly on connectors 74.
Means for connecting the prestressed tendons to inner wall 44 and outer wall 54 by means of connectors 68 and 74, respectively, are well known in the art. A typical connection is shown in FIG. 5 for a steel wall tank. Reference numeral 80 identifies the steel wall and reference numeral 82 identifies a steel pipe which is welded at 84 to steel wall 80. The prestressed tendon 85 is retained in pipe 82 by means of anchor element 86 which includes, for example, an annular wedge-shaped gripper 88 which is retained in anchor plate 89. The space within pipe 82 is filled with a grouting or bonding material 92 to secure the anchor elements. In setting the tendons 84 within steel pipe 82, the tendon is anchored to the base, then stressed to a predetermined tension value by hydraulic jacks and the annular wedges 88 are seated to provide a positive, non-slip, fixed-end anchorage.
In FIG. 6, which refers to a concrete wall tank, reference numeral 93 identifies a seven-strand conventional tendon, reference numeral 94 identifies an anchor collar through which tendon 93 passes and reference numeral 96 identifies a wedge-shaped grip which tightly grips tendon 93 and seats within anchor collar 94.

I have read that soaking seeds in a mixture of peroxide and water speeds the germination process.
I just tried the following mixture for some melon seeds
9 cc of water & 3 cc of Peroxide (a 3 to 1 mixture) after 5 hours I planted the seeds and placed them in a greenhouse how soon should I see the first sprouts (ball park figure)
Peroxide and water mixture
I have read that soaking seeds in a mixture of peroxide and water speeds the germination process.
Sorry, I don't knows melons. Did the seed pkt give a "days to emergence figure?
What kind of melons? I could look up some average numbers in a seed catalog.
BTW, drugstore hydrogen peroxide is usually 3% strength. So your dilution gave you 1%.
(I hope you didn't start with "food service H2O2 - that is around 30%!)
I've seen advice going as low as 1:32 - 0.1% - for soaking seeds, though plenty of people use it as strong as 0.3% and maybe higher. (I would guess that a seed as tough as most melons can really "take it".)
1 ml per ounce
1.5 tsp per cup
I'll be curious to see what others say about how long you should soak various kinds of melon seeds. Sometimes, for thick tough seeds, I see things like "scratch them and then soak overnight.

Today's Two Cents: Michael Crabtree
As if an NFL draft with Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow needed more drama, next year's selection festivities may also include a guy looking to become a repeat first-round pick. With each passing day, it appears more and more likely that Michael Crabtree won't sign with the 49ers. And to think everyone thought the Raiders were the Bay Area team that wasted a pick on a wide receiver.
Pete (Florida)
If he re-enters the draft in 2010, will Crabtree go in the 1st with all the obvious character issues?
Buster Olney
You're talking about him a year away from the game. Mike Williams was away from the game for a year, was the 11th pick by the Lions and was a bust. Time away from the game is important. IF he goes back into the draft, he will be a talent. Sitting out this year, he looses a years salary and he losses a year that would have brought him a year closer to free agency. Both parties took this too far. The 49ers know that they won't get anything out of Crabtree in his rookie season. Full transcript
Andrew (Seattle)
Is Michael Crabtree not about money at all and Crabtree just doesn't want to be a 49er?
Chris Mortensen
Good question. I think if the 49ers had caved and given him "top five" money, then he would already have been signed. But I have sensed that he wasn't thrilled about going to 49ers. That's life. A lot of players would like to be able to choose their teams coming out of college but that's not how the system works. Full transcript

Statement from Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis on
reported decline in workplace injuries and illnesses
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics today announced that nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses among private industry employers declined in 2010 to a rate of 3.5 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers, down from a total case rate of 3.6 in 2009. Nearly 3.1 million injuries and illnesses were reported among private sector industry employers in 2010, down from 3.3 million reported in 2009. Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis issued the following statement:
"We are encouraged by the reported decline in incidence rates for workplace injuries and illnesses, which is reflective of the joint effort of government, business, unions and other organizations. Nevertheless, 3.1 million injuries and illnesses in the workplace is too high. Serious injuries and illnesses can knock a working family out of the middle class. Workers should not have to sacrifice their health and safety to earn a paycheck.
"We remain concerned that more workers are injured in the health care and social assistance industry sector than in any other, including construction and manufacturing, and this group of workers had one of the highest rates of injuries and illness at 5.2 cases for every 100 workers. The Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration will continue to work with employers, workers and unions in this industry to reduce these risks.
"Illness and injury rates for public sector workers also continue to be alarmingly high at 5.7 cases for every 100 workers, which is more than 60 percent higher than the private sector rate. We must continue to work with state and local governments to ensure the safety of our public employees.
"A report like this also highlights the importance of accurate record keeping. Employers must know what injuries and illnesses are occurring in their workplaces in

Khan/Prescott 2 is similar to Cotto/Margarito 2. Prescott is pretty irrelevant right now, but I think Khan needs to exorcise that demon.

Khan would have to fight the fight of his life, i think Khan has a better chance at beating Garcia than Prescott. Prescott has long arms and throws looping punches, his jab was also working well against Alvarado. I think he beats Khan and if they fought i would bet on him KOing Khan again, even if i would be rooting for Khan. Khan needs some more time with Hunter before putting himself in with a banger.

Pretty sad when a bum is calling you out. Pretty sad on both ends. Prescott who needs attention by facing the man he already brutalized in 1 rd. And Khan who looks like such sh1t these days that Prescott feels he has a chance still to do it again and be back in the big picture. lol

I think Khan could avenge this defeat but he'd have to be smart which he lacks at times, Prescott hasn't got much in way of style, if Khan just nipped in and out all night and stayed away. he could prob do prescott by 7/8 rounds

Khan should take this fight.
Ultimately, if he can't beat Prescott he is not elite anymore. And he needs to consider what he wants out of the sport as he has already made some good money.
It is fair enough matching him with non-punchers but they are few and far between and the fights themselves are uninteresting - like the Molina, McCloskey and even Malignaggi fights.

Another awesome kebob.
Say something!
What? Damn those adds are annoying.
Anyways yay.
what ads?
HAHAHAHAHHA all ive got to say
Yet another fine Kebob!
I loved the menu music <3
This kebob had few parts! But there were good enough to compense the amount =P
King's part was pretty good. The atmosphere was well done, and the drawings weren't bad, but I missed the usual hilarity in King's movies.
Queen got the prize this time. Definately. All the backgrounds were nice, and the characters had this Queen's "special style". I always find Speakonia voices catchy, and this time wasn't an exception. Also, the final touch with the laughing evil wolf made me piss my pants :D
Great job!
To bad about your pants man :p

State must find better way to pay for transportation
A commission has suggested ways to fix the state's transportation problem. Legislators should pay attention.

increasing annual registration fees for commercial vehicles by 73%....Geez, only a 73 percent increase? I already pay $2,100 a year just for the plates for my dump truck. Not to mention all the gas taxes I already pay. How did this comission come up with a 73 percent increase? I wish my take home pay would increse by 73 percent!!Hide replies
How much does your dump truck weigh fully loaded? I bet it does 100 times more damage than my 2,000lb car. Trucks are the most subsidized form of transportation. They don't pay nearly enough for the damage they create.
How has my truck been subsidized in any way? Everything about my truck has been paid for 100 percent by me. I pay a federal heavy usage vehilcle usage tax every year. I've already mentioned the taxes and fees I already pay. Plus I pay 100 percent of my health insurance, I'm not getting help in anyway, just more people wanting to take more money from me. How much should I pay for vehicle registration? $10,000 a year?
Without a regional transportation approach and a more serious commitment to transit we're just, well...spinning our wheels.

Which roads are NOT needed? I'd sure want to put my business in a state where there are poor roads to deliver my products!
This comment has been deleted.Hide replies
And just what is a sustainable means of transportation?
This comment has been deleted.
That's not really an answer. Did you use "breaks" instead of "brakes" to make a point?
There is ample transportation revenue coming in. The problem is the fact that the money has been spent on things other than ROADS. Bike paths? Walking trails? Remeber the handful of Lefties that almost got a whole bunch of state money for another useless bike lane over the hi-rise bridge in Milwaukee? And, dare I bring up the Left's fixation with the never-ridden-by-paying-customers light rail? And, the epitome of the Left's thinking on transportation - that being Tommy's little trolley-to-nowhere! The average citizen pays license plate fees and gas taxes with the intent and the belief that it will be used for ROADS. Keep the money that is raised under the guise of "transportation" for ROADS which will benefit far more people than the Left's bike paths!!
You state that the "state must find a better way to pay for transportation?" Maybe begin with returning the fund that were 'acquired' by the past governor who determined that it has "excessive funds" and used it for "his pet objectives?" If you take all your excess funds for home repair and use them for "vacations and parties" and then when the house needs repair; guess what! More repairs will occur while rebuilding the funds, or you can go without food and heat until you return those funds established for those repairs.
Whaaaa!!!!!! Whaaa!!!!! Crybaby liberals! This is Scott Walkers fault! The Koch Brothers and Alec were in on it too! I know, Dick Cheney and Haliburtion were responsible!
The issues with transportation funding stated when that moron Diamond Jim Doyle raided the state transportation fund for hundreds of millions. It is the Democrats fault on this one. They will NEVER be man enough to admit it. Loosers.
Time to stop funding all the non roadway liberal crap with the tranportation fund. Use it for roads and maintenance and NOTHING else! There will be plenty of money.Hide replies
Yeah, because all those bikes do a tremendous amount of damage to roads...NOT!
Just take it out of the "Surplus", what is the problem?
November 2014 the transportation amendment will be on the ballot, dedicating all gas taxes and registration fees to the transportation fund. The first big step will be to pass this amendment. It guarantees road users that they know the money they pay will go towards roads and bridges.
Future governors should be bared raiding a billion dollars from the fund like sticky fingers Doyle.Hide replies
How about another amendment, that all funds for the Transportation Fund be paid for by users, cars, trucks, etc. My income and sales taxes should not be used for subsidizing highways.
As long the amendment includes a provision that all funds for transit be paid for by users through fares, not sales taxes, not incomes taxes, not gas taxes, etc then the proposal has merit.
I think one of the biggest impediments to rational transportation funding in Wisconsin is the widespread perception that the push for spending is being fueled more by the needs of the road builder lobby than by anything else.
One word to prove my point - "Roundabouts".

Capturing what matters and measuring what counts: This is a global leadership imperative. And it is the best--if not the only--way to showcase that managing digital globalization and delivering international experiences effectively pay off. It is all about effectiveness and starts with the early steps in the global content value chain. A number of criteria and indicators should be on the radar screen of anyone willing to define, analyze, and leverage effectiveness holistically. Productivity may not always be at the top of the list in terms of localization benefits although it definitely drives time and cost savings, while enabling to better allocate resources and optimize timeframes. It may come up as a secondary factor or be diluted in other prominent indicators such as content accuracy or consistency.

Samsung targets 5m with solar school project
INNOVATIONS| Oct. 13, 2012, 7:41 p.m.
Samsung says it aims to reach out to some five million students in Africa by 2015 with its Solar Powered Internet School initiative.
Samsung's award-winning Solar Powered Internet School project was first rolled out in South Africa last year. The project takes environmentally-friendly, transportable classrooms equipped with computers to under-served areas.
Because the classrooms are solar powered, Samsung says they "are a perfect fit for Africa as they address one of the region's biggest challenges – providing stable supply of electricity in rural areas."
The 12-meter renovated shipping containers have solar panels installed on the roof. These can generate nine hours of electricity a day, powering the electronic equipment inside the classroom.
Each classroom is equipped with a 50-inch electronic board, Internet-enabled solar-powered notebooks, Samsung's Galaxy tablet computers as well as Wi-Fi cameras – all of which help enrich the learning experience.
Up to 21 students can use the classroom, and the entire curriculums until grade 12 are stored in a central computer server, enabling two-way learning by connecting to the Internet. The school can also be moved easily with a truck so that students in even the remotest of areas can continue their education.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) – the worldwide trade association for shipowners says it has made an important written submission to the United Nations International Maritime Organization (IMO) suggesting a possible way forward with respect to complex discussions about additional global regulations to further reduce CO2 emissions from merchant ships.
In particular, ICS wishes to ensure the primacy of a global IMO framework for addressing the reduction of shipping's CO2 emissions in the face of proposals by the European Commission for unilateral regional regulations that will apply to international shipping trading to the EU.
ICS's main objection to the draft EU Regulation (as currently proposed by the European Commission) is not so much with the objective as with the timing and the level of detail which it contains. If the EU measures on monitoring and reporting ships' CO2 emissions are adopted in advance of IMO developing its own global measure, it may be impossible to have a global regime that will be compatible with the EU approach. "Unless the EU expects the rest of the world to follow its unilateral approach to the letter?" said Mr Hinchliffe.
In what is described as a carefully worded 'political' paper, ICS has suggested that IMO Member States should initially focus on developing regulations for the mandatory reporting of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by internationally trading ships, deferring further discussions on how the information collected might subsequently be used to develop additional efficiency measures.
ICS hopes that if governments can agree to approach their work in distinct stages, IMO Member States can proceed towards the early adoption of mandatory CO2 monitoring and reporting measures that would be enforced worldwide.
