Some publicity has recently been given to a new plan proposed by Trinity House and the Honourable Company of Master Mariners for the separation of traffic in the Dover Strait. This would reverse the direction of flow established by Imco in 1967 according to which the main streams of traffic between the Channel and the North Sea keep to the right.The authors of the scheme suggest that the number of collisions in the Sandettié-West Hinder area has increased dangerously since 1967 because of an unforeseen increase in the size, draught and speed of ships. Their aim is to prevent, in this area, crossings between traffic coming out of the Scheldt and traffic bound for Rotterdam, Germany, Scandinavia and the Baltic.

Crossing Vessels

As a watch-keeping officer on ships daily crossing the North Sea and English Channel 1 was interested to read Commander Paton's paper on ‘Navigation in the English Channel and the Southern North Sea’ in the January 1978 issue of this Journal. Since the introduction of the traffic separation schemes many of us have been concerned about the possibility of an accident whilst crossing the lanes. It is an almost nightly experience to have ‘near misses’ and occasionally more than one ‘near collision’ inside the hour, with people who appear to think that, because they are in a traffic lane and going the right way, everyone else must keep clear of them. No attempt is made to avoid crossing vessels in accordance with the Collision Regulations and, in spite of flashing the warning five shorts and blowing five shorts on the whistle, we often have ships call us to demand we keep out of their way, contrary to all regulations, and frequently forcing us to take drastic evasive action.

This species was originally found by Ehlers at Spiekeroog, an island off the coast of E. Friesland, in the North Sea. It has more recently been found by Joyeux-Laffuie at Luc-sur-Mer (Normandy), and by Prouho at Roscoff and at Banyuls. Its wide distribution, from the North Sea to the Mediterranean, made it almost certain that it would be found in British waters when looked for in the right place. Ehlers discovered it in the substance of the tubes of Terebella (Lanice) conchilega, while Joyeux-Laffuie and Prouho found it in the tubes of Chætopterus.

The SPO Compact Flange System (SPO CFS) has for more than 10 years proven its ability to fulfil the most severe operational conditions in the North Sea. In view of the good experiences and desire for a wider market application for Compact Flanged Connections (CFC), an agreement for the right to use the patented SPO compact flange was negotiated between SPO and the two Norwegian oil companies, Statoil and Norsk Hydro, in 2001. The agreement also includes the right to establish a Norwegian petroleum industry NORSOK standard for CFC where the dimensional standard is based on the SPO compact flange design. The fact that this compact flange system fully comply with ASME codes and standards, also the ASME B 16.34 valve design standard, may create a significant market for this new standard. This paper describes the new NORSOK standard, which is expected to be published in 2002, and it outlines the advantages of the CFC and the field experience so far.
