Pallet Shuttle Barge. A Pallet Shuttle Barge or PSB is a cargo ship designed to operate on inland waterways for the transport of goods on pallets or in big bags. It is a type of catamaran with two parallel hulls supporting a vast cargo deck. It was designed to offer a competitive alternative to freighter trucks to reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions. One PSB has the same loading capacity as 10 cargo trucks cutting carbon emissions by a third.

Compared with traditional freighters the PSB also offers a number of advantages:
 A small draft (2,2 m when fully laden) allowing access to undeep waterways
 A safe and shorter loading and unloading process because the goods do not need to be moved into containers first.
 Goods are transported directly on deck, not placed in a hold. The deck offers space for 200 pallets per layer, stacked up to at least 4 m high.
 Smaller size barges resulting in lower operational costs and allowing access to smaller inland waterways.
 Equipped with its own crane enabling independent loading and unloading, requiring little or no port infrastructure.
 Equipped with Azimuth thruster propulsion and bow-thrusters using less power than trucks to transport the same quantities.
 No living accommodation on board of the barge.
 Operable by single crew.

History 
The Pallet Shuttle Barge was invented by Antoon Van Coillie. The first one was built in 2014 and was commissioned by Blue Line Logistics nv.

Capacity 
It has a carrying capacity of 300 T or 198 euro pallets.

In a further development of the PSB concept, 2 larger units called Maxi ZULU with a carrying capacity of 450T will be built in 2020.

Dimensions 
Its standard dimensions are 50 m long and 6,6 m wide. Its draft is up to 2,2 m when fully laden.

The Maxi ZULU version is planned to be 54 m long and 8 m wide, its draft will still be limited to 2,2 m at full load.

Fleet 
Currently there are two Pallet Shuttle Barges. They carry the name ZULU. The PSB fleet will be expanded to 30 or 40 vessels.

Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – New Crystal Structures. Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – New Crystal Structures is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published in English. Its first issue was published in December 1997 and bore the subtitle "International journal for structural, physical, and chemical aspects of crystalline materials."  Created as a spin-off of Zeitschrift für Kristallographie for reporting novel and refined crystal structures, it began at volume 212 in order to remain aligned with the numbering of the parent journal.  Paul von Groth, Professor of Mineralogy at the University of Strasbourg, established Zeitschrift für Krystallographie und Mineralogie in 1877; after several name changes, the journal adopted its present name, Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – Crystalline Materials, in 2010.

The inaugural editors-in-chief were Hans Georg von Schnering of the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart and Heinz Hermann Schulz of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.  In 2016, the editor-in-chief was Hubert Huppertz (Universität Innsbruck). In the last years the journal sharpened its profile as a journal providing new crystal structure determinations (and redeterminations) together with a short description of the source of the material and the most important features of each structure.

Oil Pollution Act of 1924. Oil Pollution Act of 1924 is a United States federal statute establishing regulations for coastal navigable waters with regards to intentional fossil fuel discharges from seagoing vessels. The Act of Congress grants the Secretary of War authority to evaluate the oil volume discharge from a vessel while assessing if coastal navigable waters have a potential toxicity posing a deleterious condition for human health and seafood contamination. The 1924 United States statute provides judicial penalties encompassing civil and criminal punishment for violations of the prescribed regulations as stated in the Act.

The legislation was passed by the 68th United States Congressional session and confirmed as a federal law by the 30th President of the United States Calvin Coolidge on June 7, 1924.

Provisions of the Act
The 1924 environmental law provided seven codified sections defining territorial jurisdiction for the United States inland navigable waters.

33 U.S.C. § 431 ~ Title of Act
33 U.S.C. § 432 ~ Meaning of terms
33 U.S.C. § 433 ~ Unlawful discharge of oil in navigable waters
33 U.S.C. § 434 ~ Punishment for violation of oil discharge and liability of vessel
33 U.S.C. § 435 ~ Revocation of officers licenses for violations 
33 U.S.C. § 436 ~ Administration by harbor and river officers for arrest of offenders and enforcement
33 U.S.C. § 437 ~ Act is an addition and not a repeal of existing navigable water laws

Amendment and Repeal of 1924 Act
The Clean Water Restoration Act of 1966 amended the 1924 public law requiring vessel ownerships to recover oil discharges in relationship to the adjoining shorelines and navigable waters of the United States. The 1966 amendment designated the authority of the Act to the U.S. Department of the Interior with a provision allowing enforcement activities by the United States Armed Forces. The federal statute was passed by the United States 89th Congressional session and enacted into law by the 36th President of the United States Lyndon Johnson on November 3, 1966.

The Oil Pollution Act of 1924 was repealed by the United States 91st Congressional session enactment of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1970. The United States statute was confirmed as a federal law by the 37th President of the United States Richard Nixon on April 3, 1970.

International Road Federation India Chapter. The International Road Federation India Chapter is a chapter of the International Road Federation, presently headed by Harpal Singh (lieutenant general) as President. The India Chapter of the IRF has been active in India since February 2009 and has taken up road safety as its mission alongside its Geneva based parent body,  International Road Federation, which has worked on Indian road safety programs since 2005.

Activities
The IRF's India Chapter advocates for improved design, maintenance, and management of Indian roads to make them economic, safe, and sustainable. It comprises public and private sector road infrastructure interests. The India Chapter of IRF also works with some entrepreneurs to create examples of best practices in the provision of built-in safety of the highest standards, such as improving the visibility of motorcyclists and pedestrians in traffic. While advocating for a mandatory road safety audit for vehicles, it has supported a mandatory provision of in-vehicle safety devices similar to those in the developed world, and the deployment of appropriate intelligent transportation system devices to assist in enforcement. The organization is funded primarily through member fees.

To that end, the organization, together with the French government and a major Indian automotive organization, also helped develop trauma care and first-aid training for commercial vehicle drivers to assist in road injuries before medical services arrive.

Road safety
India's huge road development program requires road building to be compliant with the highest level of safety. As a consequence, the IRF's India Chapter has garnered support from all related Government and private sector bodies. Particularly, It works closely with the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways to develop solutions for the high number of road fatalities in India.

In 2014 the IRF IC launched a major drive to promote the visibility of cyclists. Since its inception, IRF's Indian Chapter has been actively involved in multiple and diverse areas of work relating to road safety issues. The Indian Academy of Highway Engineers, in association with IRF IC and ARBB organized a two-month course on road safety engineering and auditing in mid-2016. During the same year the IRF's India Chapter participated in a conference hosted by the South African Road Federation.

Conferences
Among its many activities, its annual Conferences on Road Safety themes have attracted global participation and have been lauded for their content and deliberations on strategic issues. Nine IRF Regional Conferences have been organized in India on special themes. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has taken up some of the recommendations of these Conferences, some of which are being implemented in India.

IRF and its India Chapter will together organize the World Road Meeting Conference for 2017 in New Delhi, India.
