☆ Lloyd’s of London (LOL) Regulations Seek To Enhance Polar Shipping

News Analysis: World Renowned Insurer Lloyd’s of London (LOL) will be submitting Regulations for Polar Shipping which may supplement any shortcomings in those of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). As an Insurer, the view it takes may be of slightly different perspective than the ‘IMO’. While both are dealing with the Omnipresent Vagaries in the Arctic Environment, the Continuing Dynamics of this Area may present Risks which may be of Inordinate Consequence to all involved: Shipping Company; Freight Owner; Insurance Company; Re-Insurance Company; Government(s); and, the Planet Earth. If a “Negative Event” occurs, the ‘IMO’ does not ‘take the Financial Hit’, the Insurance Company(s) does.

Once Regulations have been decided upon, Shipping Companies will know what Personnel Training, Vessel Improvements or New-Buildings of Vessels will be necessary to traverse the Polar Route safely.

As an example, an improvement to a Vessel or enhancement of a New-Building would be the installation of “Mega-Temp™” Insulation throughout the Interior of the Hull thus keeping it Warmer, Quieter, and certainly Drier. In a New-Building, where temperature sensitivity of Chemicals was important, compartments insulated with “Mega-Temp™” would NOT be affected by the Cold of the Polar Route. Containerized Vessels traversing the Polar Route should have both their Hulls and Containers treated with “Mega-Temp™” Insulation so Electronics being shipped therein are not damaged by the Severe Cold of the Arctic.

Insurance Actuaries will be able to establish rates for coverage once Regulations are decided upon by the “IMO’ and ‘LOL’ pertaining to the Polar Route; much like the Chinese did in 3000 B.C. for traversing treacherous Rivers.

Reality.

Cold Siberian Winters Demonstrate Gross Failure Of Cosmetic Insulations in Structures

News Analysis: Insulations invented using ‘Entrapped Air” as the Insulator, used in 1930’s Style Products Grossly Fail in extremes of Cold or Heat. Outside temperatures of -48C (-54.4F) with an Inside Residence Temperature of 10C (50F) is not safe for human habitation (especially for Children, the Elderly, or People ill). If one presumes that the walls, roof, and floor of the structures provided the overwhelming bulk of protection against the cold, what are the existing insulations doing to protect the inhabitants? The interior temperature written about is only 10C (50F)!

Residences, Commercial and Industrial Buildings in “Cryo-temperatures” any where in the World need the “Cocoon of Protection™” afforded by “Mega-Temp™” Insulation.

A country’s Natural Gas Usage for heating structures would be needed Less in buildings Shielded with “Mega-Temp Insulation™”. Natural Gas not used for such purposes could be exported to other countries.

Countries can expect ‘Climate Change’ to bring about both Colder Winters and Hotter Summers. for Decades, many Climate Scientists agree. “Mega-Temp™” Insulation, the ‘Active Molecular Insulation™” is the latest Technology Invented for Extremes in Temperature endured by Citizens of the World; ‘Tomorrow’s Insulation, Available Today’.

Railway Oil Tank Cars Need To Keep Volatile Contents Cooler

News Analysis: Railway Oil Tank Cars are presently Shipping North Dakota, U.S.A., ‘Light’ “Baaken Crude Oil” to refineries elsewhere. Since this type of Crude Oil contains Propane and Butane along with other flammable hydrocarbons, Temperature Control is a must. Lighter crude oil, such as Baaken have lower “Flash Points” in which vapors given off by the gases it contains may ignite.

The U.S. Government denotes a “Packing Group I or II” for these Light Oils. If it is given a designation of “Packing Group I”, its Flash-point is under 23C (73F)  and the Boiling Point is less than 35C (95F). “Packing Group II” if the Boiling Point is greater than 35C (95F) and a Flash Point less than 23C (73F).

Many Chemical Engineers and Thermodynamicists maintain that Greatest Safety occurs when the “Pressure Vessel” containing  Volatile Compounds are kept cool. Even Solar Radiation Buildup in Railway Tank Cars is ill-advised. 

Spray-On Mega-Temp™ Insulation stops heat build-up from the Sun and keeps temperatures stable. Since it can be applied so quickly, an entire  tank car could easily be insulated during one work shift by trained Applicators. Oil Refineries and Oil Pipelines can benefit from this “Active Molecular Insulation” as well.

Hydrochloric, Nitric, and Sulfuric Acids are inert to one millimeter (.03937″) thin Mega-Temp™ Insulation.

Railway Car Owners or Investors thinking of purchasing new cars need to protect their investments. Mega-Temp™ Insulation is the Product that is Fittest for this task.

When Cold Is Really Cold An Insulation’s Performance Must Be Bold

News Analysis: Cold weather closings of  Oil Refineries, Passengers in both Airplanes and in stranded Railway Cars seeking blankets, Buses with chilled riders, and New Large Buildings, using record amounts of Energy to keep warm; these all demonstrate ‘Cosmetic Insulations'(using Entrapped Air as the Insulator) DO NOT PERFORM IN FRIGID WEATHER!

An Insulation’s Performance Must Be Bold and NOT BE a Fuel Source for Fires. Petrochemicals and entrapped air in Foam Insulations only require Heat for the creation of fire. If a fire does occur, as in an Aircraft or Building, occupants cannot have Glass Particulates be released into the air for their inhalation into their lungs, as can Fiberglass. 

“Mega-Temp™ Insulation” Performs in Frigid Weather and was designed for extreme Cold Weather use such as in Aircraft, or in Arctic Conditions. It is the “Active Molecular Insulation™” which has been performing boldly for MANY YEARS in Siberia, Russia. It does Not Freeze in Liquid Nitrogen at -195.8C (-320.5F).

The Cost for the disruption of  Commercial Commerce throughout the Northern Hemisphere is estimated as Several Trillion Dollars! This can easily be reduced by using Spray-On “Mega-Temp™ Insulation” in Oil Refineries, Aircraft Fuselage Interiors, Passenger Trains, Freight Boxcars, Buses, Buildings (and anywhere else Severe Cold Weather will Impact).

Climate Change is evidencing this year’s Northern Hemisphere Freeze; Weather Experts think this pattern will continue into future Winter Seasons. Being Pro-active, People can stay Safe and Comfortable,  Refineries remain open, and, Energy Bills may plummet by using “Mega-Temp™ Insulation” as needed. It performs Boldly in the Cold.

The Insulations of the Past, which are Widely Advertised, are OBVIOUSLY FAILING EVERYONE TODAY.

A Word To The Wise Is Sufficient.

Reality.

Perth, Australia, is to Have ‘January or February Heat’ in December

News Analysis: Perth, Australia is to Have ‘January Or February Heat’ in December, due,some people say, to Climate Changes Occurring over the Indian Ocean. Temperatures are estimated to reach 35C (95F) or greater, for a number of days. Since this heat level usually comes in later months, people are concerned. What the Future holds Temperature-Wise for them: Global Warming (Earthlings’ Nemesis)  may provide the Answer.

Architects and Construction Companies in Australia should consider using Mega-Temp™ Insulation in their Buildings for Thermal Control. This Product Greatly reduces Solar Thermal Radiation from occurring on Treated Surfaces. Rather than relying on World War 2 Style Insulations a Developer can do much better.  He or She can offer Customers the latest State-Of-The-Art Technology that Performs!

Wasting Energy and Monies on Initially Expensive HVAC Systems and their Subsequent High Operating Costs are demonstrative of poor Economics. Greater Profits are realized, in part, through lessened Expenditures. Wise Businessmen “All Ways and Always Think ‘Bucks'”.

Older Russian Buildings and Homes are Energy Wastrels

News Analysis:  Older Russian Buildings And Homes Are Energy Wastrels which consume up to Double the Energy of their European Counterparts. Relying over the last 30 years on World War II Type fiberglass products, which are more Cosmetic than Functional, unfortunately, vast Energy Losses are common.

The Severe Russian Weather’s Effects can be greatly reduced by installing Mega-Temp™ Insulation in New Buildings and Residential Complexes. Having been used in Russian Mining Trucks for years, Mega-Temp™ Insulation performs in Weather Extremes. The Frigid Temperatures of Oymyakon, Siberia, for example,  which have reached -71.2 C ‘-96.2 F’ are not too cold for Mega-Temp™ Insulation. It does not freeze in Liquid Nitrogen ‘LN2’ at −195.8 C  ‘-320.4 F’. Merely Spray On three very light layers of this product dries to an operational thinness of one millimeter ‘.03937″‘.

The Speed of Installation of this Technology is remarkable. For example, as an illustration from another Applicable Industry, a Boeing 747 could be Insulated in ONE DAY. Another interesting aspect is the blowing wind will not damage Mega-Temp™ Insulation where fiberglass batting would be devastated.

The Billions of dollars spent in Russia Yearly, to keep the people warm, could be greatly reduced by using the Mega-Temp™ Insulation Technology through out its  16,377,742 km2 ‘6,323,482 mi2‘ of territory. The Desired Development of the Russian Far East in particular needs the proven Mega-Temp™ Insulation Technology for the Comfort and Safety of its residents. Reality.

American Railroad Industry Favors Tank Car Safety Improvements

News Analysis:  American Railroad Industry favors Tank Car Safety Improvements partially predicated on two recent Catastrophic Events involving such equipment. Of the 78,000 estimated Tank Cars In-Service throughout America, the majority are liable for possible ignition in an Accident. An estimated $1,000,000,000.00 for their Replacement or Up-grading is required to be spent by Lessors of the Tank Cars to the Railroads.

Investors throughout the World should consider investing in Equipment Trust Certificates for Tank Cars or outright Purchase and Lease to Railroads. These investments  make sense for Railroads world-wide that have Tank Cars. By following America’s Traditional Lead in many areas of Technology, Railroads elsewhere can improve the Safety and Environmental Security of their Equipment.

More adventurous Entrepreneurs may consider buying or establishing Tank Car Manufacturing Facilities since future business is assured by the Ultimate Customers: The Railroads. If these Entrepreneurs take advantage of Proven Insulation Technology they will benefit even more. To wit: New equipment as well as older Up-gradable Tank Cars can benefit with being protected with Mega-Temp™ Insulation. This NON-Foam Spray-On Product could  protect entire Tank Car Surfaces in about Two Hours of Installation Time! Radiant Heat from the Sun does not raise its temperature and Extreme Cold does not affect it. It can be applied In-Doors or Out. Reality.

Russia’s Far East Aviation Needs Addressed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev

News Analysis: Russia’s Far East Aviation Needs must be promptly developed per the instructions of  Prime Minister, Dmitry Medvedev. Since this rugged area encompasses over five million square miles and has Winter Temperatures that readily exceed -53C [-65F], travel by aircraft is imperative. Aircraft Selection is a very important element for the  proper development desired by the Russian Government. For example, a Turboprop Aircraft, which is less expensive than a Jet, has its Operational Design Parameters suitable for: short runways, adequate rates of climb, and reliability in this type of often frigid environment.

Another benefit of  a metal aircraft is if it  has landing gear failure, the fuselage merely collapses [whereas Composite Craft will Shatter like an Egg Shell [especially when ‘Cold-Soaked’)].

Metal aircraft, for “Siberian” [Far East] operation are the  reliable choice for air transit in the Severe Winter Environment.  “Cold Soaking” is much less of a problem than on a “Composite Fuselage” Aircraft. In any event, by applying Mega-TempTM Aircraft Insulation to the Interior of the Fuselage, the aircraft will consistently stay warmer in ANY cold temperature forecasted. A warmer cockpit will allow for instrumentation to operate properly when cold starting the airplane up as well. If, an aircraft has power loss, passengers will stay warmer inside  the Mega-TempTM Treated Cabin than with other Insulation Products.

Also, to be beneficially installed, application of Mega-TempTM Insulation to new Airport Buildings will keep them warmer in the winter.
Private investors, can successfully create a Business Model that will bring them  into this Major Undertaking. Investments in funding of existing Russian Aircraft Airlines or Operators [large or small] or in Airport Construction are possibilities.

The Russian Far East offers an enormous number of Investment Opportunities for those who want to Economically Prosper. Russia’s able leadership can help facilitate the process for Investors.

Aurora Airlines Debuts Siberia-Wide Travel

News Analysis:  Aurora Airlines debuts Siberia-wide travel for this remote area of Russia.The Russia Far East, with Khabarovsk and Vladivostok, being its important business cities, should see an increase in Russian as well as Foreigners travelers.  The beauty of Siberia along with the graciousness of its residents should act as a ‘Catalyst for Commerce’. Additionally, Aurora Airlines decision to increase its fleet with Safe and Reliable Airbus A319 Aircraft will give passengers Customer  Confidence.

The Challenging Environment of Siberia during the Winter, may be overcome through the use of Mega-Temp™ Insulation in its aircraft, buildings, buses, trains, and such. The Siberian-Proven Mega-Temp™ Technology should  be employed wherever Severe Weather is to be expected. This Insulation has performed extremely well in Siberian Mining Trucks for many years and can do the same for the other mentioned applications.

As more people  visit various areas of Siberia via Aurora Airlines, Foreign Investment should quickly occur. Businessmen with foresight should consider the Russian Far East as a “Honeypot” of Investment Opportunities.

The desire of President Vladimir Putin, along with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, to quickly develop Siberia means Investors will have those  very capable leaders to encourage Government Personnel to move forward. Already, Dmitry Medvedev has assumed the  lead of a “Far East Development Authority”.

Vladimir Putin’s Resoluteness is legendary internationally; A better ally, in a World Leader, it has been said,  one cannot hope to find. As development grows in Siberia, an Entrepreneur can rely on his and Dmitry Medvedev’s leaderships to ‘make things work’ towards Siberia’s future prosperity.

$560,000,000.00 a Year Needed by Mongolia for Its Public’s Weather Comfort

News Analysis: The Asian Development Bank’s estimate of the needs of Mongolia’s  3,226,000+/- population reveals a climatic reality which is developing. The Ulaanbaatar Government, with a Gross Domestic Product of $15,000,000,000.00 has the financial ability to deal with any weather problems promptly.

The acquisition of Proven Technologies for extreme cold in construction, such as Mega-Temp™ Insulation, can make new buildings very comfortable. Where the product is applied, a minimum of gas or electrical energy is then used for building heating. Any special  thermal control such as for a ‘hot house’ built therein, to grow vegetables during the winter, thereafter only use very little energy [because the thermal baseline has been raised]. Also, the huge livestock losses of the past few winters could have been greatly reduced if the Mega-Temp Insulation™ had been applied to the insides of the Husbandry Shelters.

Governments must be responsive to the needs of their citizens. Since more severe winters have started to occur and probably will continue for at least several decades [30 Year Cycle] proven technologies such as Mega-Temp™ Insulation should for thermal control. For flooding and other events associated with weather change, other technologies should be sought on the markets of the world.
