Deutsch: Koch / Español: Cocinero / Português: Cozinheiro / Français: Cuisinier / Italiano: Cuoco
Cook in the maritime context refers to the individual responsible for preparing meals and managing the galley (kitchen) on a ship or other maritime vessel. This role is crucial for maintaining the health and morale of the crew during voyages.
Deutsch: Koralle / Español: Coral / Português: Coral / Français: Corail / Italiano: Corallo
Coral in the maritime context refers to marine invertebrates within the class Anthozoa of the phylum Cnidaria, typically living in compact colonies of many identical individual polyps. Corals are crucial for marine ecosystems, forming coral reefs that provide habitat and protection for many marine organisms.
Deutsch: Korallendreieck / Español: Triángulo de Coral / Português: Triângulo de Corais / Français: Triangle de Corail / Italiano: Triangolo dei Coralli
Coral Triangle in the Maritime context refers to a Marine area in the western Pacific Ocean, covering parts of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and the Solomon Islands. This Region is known for its exceptional marine Biodiversity, hosting the highest number of coral and Reef Fish species in the world. It is often referred to as the "Amazon of the Seas" due to its ecological significance.
Deutsch: Korrektur / Español: Corrección / Português: Correção / Français: Correction / Italian: Correzione
Correction in the maritime context refers to the adjustments or modifications made to Navigational data, charts, instruments, or operational procedures to ensure accuracy, safety, and compliance with regulations. This can involve updating charts, correcting navigational errors, or making changes to ship operations based on new information.
Deutsch: Korrosion und Verschleiß / Español: Corrosión y Desgaste / Português: Corrosão e Desgaste / Français: Corrosion et Usure / Italiano: Corrosione e Usura
Corrosion and Wear in the maritime context refer to the deterioration of materials, particularly metals, due to chemical, electrochemical, and mechanical processes in the harsh marine environment. Corrosion is primarily caused by the reaction of metals with saltwater, oxygen, and other elements, while wear is the result of friction, abrasion, and mechanical stress on surfaces. Both phenomena pose significant challenges to the maintenance, safety, and longevity of ships, offshore structures, and marine equipment.
Deutsch: Korrosionsbeständigkeit / Español: Resistencia a la corrosión / Português: Resistência à corrosão / Français: Résistance à la corrosion / Italiano: Resistenza alla corrosione
Corrosion resistance refers to a material's ability to withstand degradation caused by chemical or electrochemical reactions with its environment. In maritime contexts, this property is critical due to the aggressive combination of saltwater, humidity, and mechanical stress. Without adequate protection, metals and alloys in ships, offshore platforms, and coastal infrastructure suffer rapid deterioration, leading to structural failures and economic losses.
English: International Cospas-Sarsat Programme
COSPAS-SARSAT is a shortcut for --->'International Satellite Search and Rescue System'.
Deutsch: Kosten-Nutzen-Analyse / Español: Análisis Coste-Beneficio / Português: Análise Custo-Benefício / Français: Analyse Coût-Bénéfice / Italiano: Analisi Costi-Benefici
A Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) in the maritime sector evaluates the economic feasibility of projects such as port expansions, shipbuilding, or environmental regulations by comparing monetary costs against quantifiable benefits. This method supports decision-making in an industry characterized by high capital investments and long-term operational risks.
