Marine Vessel Traffic Sample Clauses

Marine Vessel Traffic. In 1994, domestic and foreign ship traffic into the Port of Valdez consisted of 1,799 trips (Table 5-5). Commercial fishing, ferry and cruise ships, tour, charter, and private vessels Passenger and Dry Cargo 0 2 1,065 0 Tanker 550 25 80 0 Tow or Tug 3 0 45 0 operate in the Port, as well as tankers and barges. Vessel traffic enhances the probability of operational or cargo spills. The vessel activity can also physically injure or disturb wildlife, such as sea otters and harbor seals (Xxxxxxx, 1995). The underside of marine vessels are generally painted with antifouling paint to prevent the attachment of organisms, such as barnacles and mussels, to the hull. Antifouling paints are commonly copper or lead based and form a small toxic layer which prevents attachment. One very effective and long lasting antifouling agent is tributyltin (TBT); tributyltin has also proved to be very toxic to mollusks, such as clams, oysters, and mussels. Consequently, the use of TBT has been limited in the United States to vessels larger than 25 m since 1988. Vessel traffic from ports in a different geographical region can also transport non-native species into the Port. If these organisms survive, they may become established and affect local species. Vessel traffic from distant ports in high northern latitudes, is more likely to bring non- native species that could survive in Port Xxxxxx. Lifting of the oil embargo act will allow tankers to transport oil to cold-water ports (e.g., northern Japan, and Russia) and return with ballast water from these regions. These stressors are discussed in more detail in Section 8. Illegal dumping of sewage wastes from boats may also occur in the boat harbor and the Port (pers. comm., X. Xxxxxx Xxxx, USCG, 1995).

Marine Vessel Traffic. Past marine vessel traffic has been associated with subsistence hunting, oil exploration, research, and military activities. Weather and ice have traditionally limited marine vessel traffic in the Noticed Activities Area to July through September. The number of marine vessels in both the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas has increased in recent years due to advances in the technology of ice strengthening and ice breaking capacities of marine vessels, changes in ice cover and classifications of ice, increases in use of both the Northeast Passage over Russia and the Northwest Passage through Canada for commercial and tourist voyages, and increased interest in scientific and economic pursuits in the area. Reasonably foreseeable traffic in the region includes small craft involved in the fall whaling hunt at Barrow and Wainwright; USCG vessels; cargo vessels; other supply ships, tugs, and barges; cruise ships; and vessels associated with scientific endeavors. The USCG estimates that from 2008 to 2010 the number of vessels in the Arctic increased from around 100 to more than 130, and the number of transits through the Bering Strait increased from around 245 to more than 325 (USCG, 2011). The estimated number of miles of non-seismic vessel traffic in the Chukchi Sea for July through October increased from approximately 2,000 miles in 2006 to more than 11,500 miles in 2010 (Marine Exchange of Alaska, 2011). Vessel tracks from 2009 indicate vessel transits in the vicinity of Barrow and Wainwright are traditionally concentrated along the coast (Marine Exchange of Alaska, 2011). Marine vessels are the greatest contributors of anthropogenic sound introduced to the Beaufort Sea. Sound levels and frequency characteristics of vessel sound generally are related to vessel size and speed. Larger vessels generally emit more sound than do smaller vessels. Same size class vessels travelling at higher rates of speed generally emit more sound than the same vessels travelling at lesser speeds. Vessels underway with a full load, or vessels pushing or towing loaded non-powered vessels, generate more sound than unladen vessels in a similar size class. The most common sources of marine vessel mechanical components that generate sound waves are propulsion engines, generators, bearings, pumps, and other similar components. Operations and navigation equipment, including fathometers and sonar equipment, are also inclusive of onboard mechanical components that cumulatively create and propagate so...

  • Local Traffic Traffic that is originated by a Customer of one Party on that Party’s network and terminates to a Customer of the other Party on that other Party’s network within Verizon's then current local calling area (including non-optional local calling scope arrangements) as defined in Verizon’s effective Customer Tariffs. A non- optional local calling scope arrangement is an arrangement that provides Customers a local calling scope (Extended Area Service, “EAS”), beyond their basic exchange serving area. Local Traffic does not include optional local calling scope traffic (i.e., traffic that under an optional rate package chosen by the Customer terminates outside of the Customer’s basic exchange serving area). IntraLATA calls originated on a 1+ presubscription basis, or on a casual dialed (10XXX/101XXXX) basis are not considered Local Traffic. Local Traffic does not include any Internet Traffic.

The Parties agree to enter into traffic exchange agreements with third party Telecommunications Carriers prior to delivering traffic to be transited to third party Telecommunications Carriers. In the event one Party originates traffic that transits the second Party’s network to reach a third party Telecommunications Carrier with whom the originating Party does not have a traffic exchange agreement, then the originating Party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the second Party against any and all charges levied by such third party Telecommunications Carrier, including any termination charges related to such traffic and any attorneys fees and expenses.

For any remaining (up to 5%) calls without CPN information, the receiving Party shall xxxx the originating Party for such traffic at the Traffic Rate applicable to each relevant minute of traffic, in direct proportion to the minutes of use of calls passed with CPN information. 6.1.3 If the originating Party passes CPN on less than ninety-five percent (95%) of its calls and the originating Party chooses to combine Reciprocal Compensation Traffic and Toll Traffic on the same trunk group, the receiving Party shall xxxx the higher of its interstate Switched Exchange Access Service rates or its intrastate Switched Exchange Access Services rates for all traffic that is passed without CPN, unless the Parties agree that other rates should apply to such traffic. 6.2 At such time as a receiving Party has the capability, on an automated basis, to use such CPN to classify traffic delivered over Interconnection Trunks by the other Party by Traffic Rate type (e.g., Reciprocal Compensation Traffic/Measured Internet Traffic, intrastate Switched Exchange Access Service, interstate Switched Exchange Access Service, or intrastate/interstate Tandem Transit Traffic), such receiving Party shall xxxx the originating Party the Traffic Rate applicable to each relevant minute of traffic for which CPN is passed.
