<content:encoded><![CDATA[If you are interested in words and dictionaries, then you are in the right place because here we'll share something interesting related to four relatively popular in their use words.<a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=Marine" title="">Marine</a>, <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=maritime" title="">maritime</a>, <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=nautical" title="">nautical</a>, and <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=naval" title="">naval</a> are not strictly synonymous terms but are so interrelated that sometimes, this can confuse people.Maritime and Marine both indicate a connection with the sea. There is a difference even though both the words come from the Latin word for 'sea', which is mare. 'Marine' is often used to describe the physical sea or ocean realm and its living resources, while 'Maritime' represent ships, shipbuilding or shipping and their related activities.  Other interpretations say that 'marine' associate with the military while 'maritime' refers to civilian shipping. According to some people, 'Maritime' is anything or anybody connected or related to the sea.On the other hand, 'Marine' is used for what belongs to or is in the ocean.  In simple words - 'marine' is an adjective meaning 'of or about the sea, while 'maritime' means 'of or about objects or actions related to or conducted on the sea. Interpretations depend on which side of a ship's hull we find ourselves. As per the dictionary, the definition of 'Maritime' is:1: of, relating to, or bordering on the sea (example: a maritime province)2: of or relating to navigation or commerce on the sea3: having the characteristics of a mariner As per the same dictionary, the definition of 'Marine' is:a: of or relating to the sea (examples: marine life; marine biology);b: of or relating to the act or practice of sailing over the sea : (example: a marine chart);c: of or relating to the commerce of the sea : (example: marine law)d: depicting the sea, seashore, or ships (example: marine painter)e: of or relating to marines (example: marine barracks) Maritime and Marine are often used interchangeably, especially regarding insurance or law. On the other hand, nautical and naval imply a connection with ships and shipping and, therefore, only indirectly with the sea. Naval generally implies a relation to a navy as distinguished from a merchant marine and composed not only of ships but of men, armaments and supplies.'Naval' in general means :<ul style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"><li style="color: rgb(40, 50, 78); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; list-style-type: disc; font-size: 15px;">of or relating to ships or shipping</li><li style="color: rgb(40, 50, 78); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; list-style-type: disc; font-size: 15px;">of or relating to a navy</li><li style="color: rgb(40, 50, 78); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; list-style-type: disc; font-size: 15px;">consisting of or involving warships</li></ul> Nautical, however, is the usual term in applications where a relationship to seamen or sailors or the sailing of boats or ships is distinctly implied.Nautical is usually the preferred term when referring to the art or profession of navigation is implied.The general definition of 'Nautical' is given below:<ul style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"><li style="color: rgb(40, 50, 78); background: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; list-style-type: disc; font-size: 15px;">of, relating to, or associated with navigation, seamen or ships</li></ul> Indeed, it sometimes can be tricky to find the most appropriate terms.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[In our previous articles, we promised to explain and share more details about the Hotel and Hospitality department on passengers' vessels. Of course, we will mention here the most significant crew positions within the Hotel department and what are the roles of these crewmembers onboard.Service and Hospitality positions are among the essential roles onboard every cruise vessel. The most important duty of the overall service and hospitality onboard is the Hotel Director, also known as Hotel Manager. The  Hotel Manager is the head of the largest department onboard and is in charge of the Hotel and Guest operations, performed by various sub-departments, as explained below. <h2>Hotel and Guest Services sub-departments onboard</h2>Under the responsibility of the cruship's Hotel manager are the following sub-departments, part of the Hotel and Hospitality team onboard.<ul><li>Hotel management and administration. This sub-department, also known as pursers, includes receptionists, bookkeepers, and other office-based staff;</li><li>Restaurants: Maître d'Hotel, restaurant staff, restaurant waiters/waitresses, room service and wine stewards. Here is the place to mention that the Restaurants, Bars and Galley staff and operations are under the direct supervision of the Food and Beverage Manager (F&B manager), however the latter reports to the Hotel Director;</li><li>Bars: bar manager, bar staff, cocktails servers. </li><li>Galleys(Kitchens): chefs, catering assistants. </li><li>Housekeeping: housekeepers, stewards, cleaners, porters, laundry personnel, carpenters and joiners, concierges;</li><li>Hospitality: Guest relations, guest hosts/hostesses;</li><li>Revenues: retail shops, photographers;</li><li>Entertainment: cruise directors, dancers, singers, entertainers, DJs, casino staff. </li><li>Shore excursions: managers, support staff. </li><li>Health and beauty: beauticians, hairdressers, massage therapists, sports and fitness instructors. </li></ul><h2> </h2><h2>Roles and responsibilities </h2>As previously mentioned, the Hotel department onboard a cruise vessel is quite significant in numbers and consists of the following sub-departments. Let us briefly introduce the roles and responsibilities of some crew members from various Hotel and Guest operations sub-departments on board. <h3>Hotel Manager</h3>As a head of the hotel operations, same as it is on ashore, the responsibilities of the Hotel Managers are many. They oversee all staff and operations within the Hotel, Galley, and Bar departments, including cabins, laundry, dining services, bars, theatres, cinemas, galleys, lounges and other areas around the ship. The Hotel Director works closely with other heads of department, such as the leaders of the Engine and Deck teams (see our previous article) and reports to the Captain about the ship's state. In addition, the hotel staff's training and supervision are the hotel director's responsibility. Like every crewmember working onboard, the Hotel Managers must work very hard to ensure the ship's environment and overall quality meets the standards of the cruise company they work for. <h3>Guest Services Officer</h3>The Guest Services Manager (Guest Relations officer) directs, coaches, supports, supervises and evaluates the performance of all Front Office and Concierge staff, in conjunction with the Hotel Director.

The latter means knowing about popular drinks and how they are made. Maintaining the bar area and stock are also a bartender's responsibilities.<img src="https://www.marineservices.ltd/images/Blog/ships-bartender_marine-services-ltd.jpg" style="width: 800px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" loading="lazy"><h3>Wine Steward</h3>The Wine Steward on a passenger ship helps passengers to know which wines would go good with a meal to make it the ideal and complete dining experience.

Of course, among the most significant tasks of every Shop manager is to generate revenue and create conditions for this to happen. <h3>Shore Excursions Manager</h3>The shore Excursions Manager is responsible for presentation, supervision, promotion and arrangement of the shore excursions offered in the various ports of call and onboard the vessel. The shore Excursions Manager reports directly to the Hotel Director. <h3>Photographers</h3>As you can imagine, the photographers take pictures of passengers on various occasions during cruises - embarkation, parties, shore excursions, dinners etc. They must be extrovert sales-focused people, able to sell their service to the onboard guests. <img src="https://www.marineservices.ltd/images/Blog/welcome-onboard-sign_marine-services-ltd.jpg" style="width: 800px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" loading="lazy">The hotel job positions on yachts and super yachts might differ slightly from those onboard a large cruise ship.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Have you wondered what positions are on every ship, regardless of whether we talk about cargo vessels or cruise liners? Here we will explain who does what onboard.There is a slight difference between working structures on merchant and passenger ships. In addition, there are slight differences in ranks, their names, and even the duties of some of the positions, but we'll go through and explain each role for both types of vessels.<h2>Cargo ships hierarchy</h2>Life on board a vessel differs from any other shore-based job or organization. Each crew member has a particular rank and carries specific responsibilities to maintain successful vessel operations.Mainly, the vessel's crew has two types of seafarers: officers and ratings. Both these types of crew members can work either on deck or in the engine room. In general, a large cargo ship has a crew who performs the following positions:The deck department typically includes a Master, Chief Officer (or Chief Mate), Second Mate, Third Mate, Bosun, Able Seamen, and Ordinary Seamen.The engine (or technical) department usually consists of Chief Engineer, Second Engineer, Third Engineer, Fourth Engineer, Fitters (usually one), Motormen, and Wipers (or Oilers). Many large ships also have an Electrician, and tanker ships have also assigned pumpmen. Some ships also have Steward, and there is also a Cook on most ships. On tiny vessels, where the number of the crew is minimal is possible for the cook's role to be assigned to someone from the crew or performed on a rotational basis between each crewmember.<img src="https://www.marineservices.ltd/images/Blog/bridge-cruise-vessel_marine-services-ltd.jpg" style="width: 8300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" loading="lazy"> <h3>The Deck crew onboard a merchant vessel</h3>The Deck crew is in charge of the vessel navigation, watchkeeping, maintaining the ship's hull, cargo, gear and accommodation, and taking care of the ship's lifesaving and firefighting appliances. The deck department is also responsible for receiving, discharging and caring for cargo. According to the vessel's hierarchy, the deck officers are as follows: Master, Chief Officer, Second Officer, Third Officer and Deck Cadet (deck officer to be).The supreme authority on board a merchant vessel is the Master. The entire crew is under his command. He is responsible for the vessel's safety, use and maintenance and ensures that every crew member carries out his work accordingly. He is also in charge of the following: payroll, the ship's accounting, inventories, customs and immigration regulations, and the ship's documentation. To become a Master, a seafarer must have several years of experience as a deck officer and as Chief Officer.According to the vessel's hierarchy, the first deck officer and the head of the deck department after the Master is the Chief Officer or Chief Mate. He is in charge of the vessel navigation, watches duties, charging and discharging operations. The Chief Officer also directs all the other officers on deck, creates and posts watch assignments and implements the Master's orders to maintain safe operations and the vessel.The second Officer or Second Mate is the next in rank after the Chief Mate and is the ship's navigator, focusing on creating the ship's passage plans and keeping charts and publications up to date. Apart from watchkeeping, the Second Officer may also be designated to train the cadets on board or to fulfil the rank of security, safety, environmental or medical officer.The Third Officer or Third Mate is the fourth deck officer in command and is usually the Ship's Safety Officer, responsible for ensuring the good functioning of the firefighting equipment and lifesaving appliances. He undertakes bridge watches and learns how to become a Second Officer.A Cadet on board a merchant's vessel receives structured training and experience on board and learns how to become a deck officer.Apart from the officers, the deck department crew also consists of ratings, such as AB (Able Body Seaman), OS (Ordinary Seaman) and Boatswain.The AB is part of the deck crew and has duties such as: taking watches, steering the vessel, assisting the officer on watch, mooring and unmooring the ship, deck maintenance and cleaning. The AB also secures and unsecured the cargo and carries our deck and accommodation patrols.OS is the crew member whose primary duty is to maintain the cleanliness of the whole ship and serves as an assistant for the AB. Being an OS is considered an apprenticeship, a period called "sea time" to be allowed to take courses and training for AB.Both AB and OS are usually supervised by a Boatswain, who is also a rating, in charge of examining the cargo-handling gear and lifesaving equipment. The Boatswain usually holds an AB certificate as well.The structure for the deck department on board merchant vessels is mainly the same on all vessel types. <h3>The Engine crew onboard a merchant vessel</h3>The engine crew is responsible for operating, maintaining and repairing the propulsion and support system when required. The engine department is also responsible for repairing and maintaining other systems, such as refrigeration, air conditioning, separation, fuel oil, electrical power, etc.According to the vessel's hierarchy, the engine officers are as follows: Chief Engineer, Second Engineer, Engine Watch Officer, Electrician Officer and Engine Cadet.The Chief Engineer is the first engine officer in charge of the engine department. He takes complete control of the engine room and must ensure that every system and equipment run by the book is suitable for inspection. The Chief Engineer also maintains up-to-date inventory for spare parts, extra fuel and oil and delegates the tasks to the officers under his command. To become a Chief Engineer, a seafarer must first be a Second Engineer with at least two years of sea time experience.<img src="https://www.marineservices.ltd/images/Blog/marine-engineer_marine-services-ltd.jpg" style="width: 800px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" loading="lazy">After the Chief Engineer, in charge of the engine room, is the Second Engineer, who also has a management-level position. He assists the Chief Engineer in keeping the vessel running efficiently, supervises the daily maintenance and operation in the engine room and prepares the engine room for arrival, departure or other operations. He reports directly to the Chief Engineer.The Third Engineer and/or Forth Engineer usually keep the Engine Watch Officer position. This is an operational-level job. The Third Engineer is usually responsible for changing boilers, fuel, auxiliary engines, condensate and feed systems. The Fourth Engineer is the most inexperienced officer, with duties assigned by the Second Engineer. His responsibilities include engine watch, air compressors, purifiers and other auxiliary machinery.Another officer working in the engine room is the Electrical Engineer, overseeing and ensuring the maintenance and proper functioning of all the electrical systems and machinery. The Electrical Engineer responds directly to the Second Engineer and the Chief Officer and has the proper training to do this job.Some merchant vessels also have an Engine Cadet or Electrical Cadet amongst their crew members. They receive structured training and experience on board and learn how to become an engine or electrical officer.Apart from the officers, the engine department crew also consists of ratings, such as Motorman, Fitter, Electrician, Pumpman and Oiler/wiper.The Motorman is the engine rating that keeps watch and assists the engine officers in performing maintenance tasks. He also maintains and repairs the main and auxiliary engines, pumps and boilers.On board vessels, the Fitter carries out daily maintenance and engine cleaning jobs and specializes in fabrication, welding or repairing.The Electrician on board a merchant vessel is the rating working on the electrical equipment and systems, wiring and high voltage panels.Mostly on tanker vessels, we may also find a Pumpman responsible for the liquid cargo transfer system, pumps, stripping pumps, filter valves, deck machinery involved in the liquid cargo transfer etc. His main job is to keep the liquid cargo system on a tanker running accordingly.The Oiler or Wiper on board is the rating in charge of cleaning the engine spaces, machinery, lubricating bearings and other moving parts of the engine. In addition, they assist the engine officers in the general maintenance of the machinery, etcetera.Although the crew structure in the engine room is mainly the same, some vessels only have a part of the mentioned crew. This is due to the size of the boat or financial reasons. <h2>Passenger ships hierarchy</h2>The hierarchy on cruise ships slightly differs from the structure adopted on cargo ships, and here we'll explain the duties of each role.Bear in mind that on a cruise (or passenger) vessel, apart from the Deck department and Technical/Engineering department exist, another one, usually known as the Hotel department. On a typical merchant ship, the Hotel Department consist of the Cook and the Steward (if these roles exist onboard the ship). The Hotel department consists of several sub-departments on cruise ships and large yachts. As a rule of thumb, the Hotel department is the largest onboard, and its sub-departments all form the overall guest service operations. <img src="https://www.marineservices.ltd/images/Blog/cruise-ship_marine-services-ltd.jpg" style="width: 800px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" loading="lazy"> <h3>Deck crew positions onboard a cruise vessel</h3>The Deck Department on a cruise ship is a part of the Marine Operations division. The primary responsibilities of the Deck Officers and Ratings are the safe navigation of the vessel plus all safety and security aspects of the ship's operations, including guests, officers, crew and staff members. Although the head of the department is the Staff Captain, the highest ranking person aboard - the Captain/Master of the ship, is considered a member of the Deck department. The deck department has two different positions - Deck Officers and Deck Ratings.Deck officers include Captain; Staff Captain; First, Second and Third Officers, Safety Officer; Environmental Officer, Security Officer,Deck Cadet. The Deck ratings positions include Boatswain/Bosun,  Able Seaman Unlimited, Ordinary Seaman Entry Level and Deckhand.<h4>The Captain</h4>In-command and overall in charge of the ship.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 id="isPasted">What are the Different Types of Marine Services?</h2>Marine or Maritime services are activities conducted to ensure the safe operation of vessels. They include repair, maintenance, logistics, testing, storage, and transportation services for boats, ships, oil tankers, and other watercraft. <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=maintenance" title="">Marine maintenance</a> and <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=repair" title="">repair services</a> usually operate at boatyards, shipyards, and marinas. Companies offering maritime services perform on-water repairs and drydock maintenance and can overhaul or upgrade boats and ships.  <h3>Logistics</h3><a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=marine+logistics" title="">Marine Logistics</a> services include freight forwarding agencies, freight hauliers, and companies that provide logistics support to the offshore oil and gas industry. Marine storage services usually have dry stack storage buildings and steel boat racks and offer transport. Marine transportation services and other maritime services are also widely available. <h3>Maintenance and Repairs</h3>Marine services related to shipping, yachting or offshore industries provide emergency repairs, periodic maintenance, or complete overhauls. Boats, ships and offshore facilities often require marine services while in operation, at the pier side, and during periods of reduced operating status, such as between charters or operational seasons.  <h3>Fuel and Lubricants Bunkers</h3>Bunkering is the process of supplying fuel to be used to power the propulsion system of a ship. <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=Bunkering" title="">Bunkering</a> service is the supply of a requested quality and quantity of lube oils or fuel bunkers to a vessel. Bunkering is among the most critical services provided to vessels. <h3>Dry or Wet Docking</h3>Most oceangoing vessels require trips to specialized drydock facilities at regular intervals. Drydocks are basins for shipbuilding or repair activities below a vessel's waterline. They are flooded so the ship can be floated in and drained so the boat can rest on a dry platform. Tasks done at drydock include the removal of biological growths from a ship's hull, sandblasting and repainting the hull, replacing the sacrificial anodes used to protect submerged equipment from corrosion, hull repairs, propeller maintenance and more. <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=drydock" title="">Drydock </a>services may also significantly repair a ship's propulsion, steering, and vital <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=electrical+systems" title="">electrical systems</a>. Marine propulsion systems consist of induction motors, generators, switchboards, and integrated automation systems. Marine steering systems include marine products and equipment for hydraulic and mechanical steering, rudders and tiller arms. Marine services companies specializing in drydock repairs and maintenance may provide the repair and maintenance of complete propulsion systems or individual components. Similarly, marine services that repair a ship's electrical systems can maintain either complete or individual sub-systems.<h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>Transportation and Shipping</h3>Some marine service providers offer offshore freight transportation, vessel manning, and brokering services. Offshore services are fabricators for the <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/energy" title="">oil and gas industry</a>. Using sizeable structural steel components, they build various topsides and oil platforms. Oil and freight transportation services use oil tankers and other cargo vessels to transport crude oil and other petroleum products. <h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>Ship Supplies</h3>Ship provisions supplies, also known as Ship Chandling or <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=Provision" title="">Ship Provision services</a>, are one of the essential marine services as it covers the food and beverage requirements of the people on board - ship crew, passengers or anyone else. The supplies include the ship stores, which cover the requirement of housekeeping. Further, the spare parts required for day-to-day maintenance are also covered in the ship stores. There are companies specialized in supplying services, and they can register in the port as a service provider and offer these marine services to the vessels. <h3>Ship Management</h3>Ship management is the activity of managing marine vessels. The vessels under management could be owned by the ship management company or independent vessel owners.  <h3>Vessel Operations</h3>There are various marine operations. Maritime brokerage services may specialize in used commercial vessels or international shipping. Vessel operations coordinators schedule and maintain records of vessels' maintenance. Vessel operators take care of the daily planning and coordination of voyages, load & discharge operations and stowage plans. Checking bunkers requirements, cargo intakes, itineraries and all other matters impact the respective journey.<h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>Crewing Services</h3>Vessel manning services are marine services that provide contract or temporary crew members. Crewing services are also among the most popular services within the maritime industry. The crew management companies are responsible for the manning of vessels under a crew management contract. The contract includes the sourcing, recruitment, selection, deployment, scheduling, training/upgrading programs, and ongoing management of seafarers engaged on vessels under crew management contracts. <h3>Other Marine Services</h3>Other than the discussed primary marine services, there are marine services such as fire fighting, water bunkering, or wastewater discharge facilities. Either port itself provides or facilitates such services, depending on the nature of the marine service. <h3>At the End</h3>In a <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/blog/marine-vs-maritime-and-nautical-vs-naval" title="">previous post</a>, we explained the meaning of "Marine" and "Maritime". Here is an excellent place to mention that the term "maritime services" means port-to-port transportation of cargo by vessels operated by an ocean common carrier.Although some may refer to or define marine services differently, the term is widely used to refer generally to services having a nautical bearing, related to general vessel condition, vessel's efficiency or safety, marine environment protection, logistics and other port services such as port state control, immigration and customs services, security and more. ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[It's well known that most people begin their search for a local business online. <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/" title="">Online business directories</a> are here to stay and have become essential.Even if you recognize the importance of getting online visibility for your company or business on a business listing site, it can be tricky to know where exactly you should be listed. The web can feel oversaturated with choices, from the general to the more niche. From service suppliers to marine business directories, there's something for every brand, company or individual.<h2 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h2><h2>What are the Online Directories?</h2>An online directory is a free or paid submission-based online service. Business owners usually secure their entry by "claiming" their listing. Generally, business listings (also known as <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/blog/what-info-must-exist-on-a-business-card" title="">digital business cards</a>) in an online directory are free, or free to start with a <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/join" title="">paid option</a> unlocking more features for your listing. In short, a directory or, more specifically, an online business directory is an online listing of businesses. The directory listings provide specific information about businesses.Usually listed information includes a company's name, address, phone number, logo, slogan, website, a short description of what the company does, photos, videos, social media accounts, hours of operation and a listing of services or products sold or offered by the company.The businesses listed in an online business directory are typically categorized-by location, size, activity, or another feature. Online directories are also referred to as citation sites or simply "citations". <h2>How do the Online Directories work?</h2>Online business directories work as sort of a middleman connecting businesses and clients. Usually, the company decides to enter its business information and links to its site in the directory.  <h2>How About using Google?</h2>Many people may not be as good with online business directories as with the famous Google. Some often wonder why to bother as they and their customers mostly use Google to search for companies, brands or services they are looking for.Here's the secret.Google, Bing and Yahoo and any other search engine rely on the information you put on your company's website, who has linked to your site, what the online reviews claim about your business, and what exists about your company in the online directories. Google or other popular search engines get information from online directories to help decide what to show in search results. So if the info about your brand in multiple directories is accurate, this gives Yahoo, Google or Bing a positive signal about your business and is another data point to help the search engine show your company in the search results to internet users. <h2>Data Accuracy</h2>All your company information must be updated on every existing directory listing. Failure to do so can lead to confusion for potential customers resulting in less trust and lost sales. <h2>Which Directories?</h2>Not all online directories are created equal. It is a must to ensure that you prioritize adding your business to authority sites rather than choosing "bad neighbourhoods." with low or no reputation at all.The top business directories will help boost your SEO as you associate with trusted brands. Poorly managed, unknown and not regularly updated directories may damage your business ranking through guilt by association. If a company listing looks like it hasn't been updated for years, you may want to ensure its credibility before listing your business. <h2>What are the Niche Directories?</h2>Niche Directories are designed for specific types of Businesses and Companies. Niche Directories offer excellent link value and targeted traffic if you list your brand or business there.For example, there are online niche directories for engineers, doctors, shipping companies, lawyers, sea specialists, <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/blog/what-means-marine-services" title="">marine services</a>, properties, cars, etc.Niche directories are a great way to promote your brand or local business because they have excellent online authority.<h2 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h2><h2>How to Find Niche Directories?</h2>Perform searches on some of your top phrases or unique keywords and record which directories you see in the search results. Perhaps you will notice some of the online directories popping up repeatedly, and there may well be reasons for this. Once you create a list of online directories, look at what other companies or businesses are present there.The listing directories that can be most beneficial to you will feature businesses appropriate for the topic, be that by industry category, location, etcetera.You will probably find some of your top competitors in these online directories, but don't worry; select the appropriate ones for your audience and work with them. Two good directory links are far better than ten bad ones. <h2>Benefits of Registering in a Directory</h2>Business Directories allow owners to expose their business to more traffic, increasing awareness and connecting potential customers to your business. Think about it this way, which brand or a company would be more likely to make a sale - a business with one or two outdated business listings or another company that is present on every important online directory with accurate, up-to-date information? Indeed, there are many other factors, but assuming the businesses are identical in every other way, the brands with multiple up-to-date listings will be much more likely to be found and trusted.An online directory also benefits businesses' Search Engine Optimization (SEO) efforts. The association with trusted internet sites and links, as well as connecting to your website via social media, provides valuable links. <h2>10+ Benefits of Online Business Directories:</h2>Some people hesitate to place their business on business directory platforms because of misinformation that can lead to bad company. However, one online directory offers tons of advantages, and here we'll mention some of them: <h3>1)Website Exposure</h3>You'll gain a lot of exposure by placing your website in directories. Getting your company listed would improve your business's online presence and put you ahead of the competition. <h3>2)Improves trust and credibility</h3>A published site in directory lists is a significant trust factor to customers because you allow your brand to be searched on the Web. Not to mention, some online directory sites have quite complicated business requirements. If your business gets past that, it proves that you're legit. <h3>3)Affordable advertising</h3>You can list your business on an online directory for free or at a very low cost. Advertising your brand or business at this point can be beneficial because you can have optimal results at a low price.<h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>4)Improved Local Visibility</h3>Directory sites can be easily filtered by location; thus, your prospects can see your business near their locality. You connect with people near you and their community, thus boosting your customer visits. <h3>5)Reaching Customers Fast</h3>Online business directories make it easier for consumers to browse through business listings by such parameters as location, a field of service, number of positive customer reviews or experiences, making it simple for businesses and clients to connect. Online business listings serve as a way to introduce consumers to various businesses offering the kind of product or service they need, based on the potential customers' area.<h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>6)Boosts Search Engine Optimization</h3>If you provide helpful information with appropriate keywords, Bing, Google and other search engines can obtain insight into your site and rank you better. Your online business listings can be a perfect way to support existing information about your website, thus, generating more traffic. <h3>7)Networking through "Business to Business."</h3>Other businesses can search, find and do transactions with your company. If you want to be a B2B partner with such organizations, listing your website in online business listings can increase your chances of partnering with such companies. <h3>8) Increased Web Traffic</h3>Studies have found that "organic search drives more than half of all visitors to B2C and B2B websites, trumping all other non-organic search channels.Trusted business listings positively influence organic search, driven purely by visitors' search habits and SEO.By including business listings into your company's SEO, keywords, and backlink strategy, you can utilize the pathway to drive potential customers to your website and social media.<h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>9) Increased Sales</h3>By listing in business directories, businesses of any kind can increase sales.For example, in the case of Google, customers who find a company or business through "Google My Business" listings are up to 50% more likely to make a purchase.In addition -  according to Yelp, 97% of people spend money with a business they find on Yelp, with more than half of users transacting with the company they see within a day and 90% transacting within a week. <h3>10)Boosts the Brand image</h3>The ultimate goal of every type of business is to make money. Still, it's also about ensuring people recognize you as a company and, more precisely - as a brand and an authority.You'll be rewarded with good reviews for your efforts by constantly providing exemplary service to your customers. More people who see those five stars on your account will do more business with you.<h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>11)Use Word of Mouth</h3>Most business directories have a customer reviews component since word of mouth has always been a trusted and reliable source for many consumers. With real-time and sharing capabilities of various mobile devices, clients can publish reviews in no time, even during their present experience. Most people seek out and trust online customer reviews more than ever. Get listed in suitable online business directories, and you'll be placed in a direct channel to your preferred target audience.<h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>12) Your Business doesn't need a website</h3>Don't have a company website yet? No worries - if not, you can still create listings in online directories designed for your B2B solutions.Precious online listings can start working for your business or company immediately. Later on, if your website is up and running, you can easily update your business listings and include your website link. <h3>13)The Social Signals</h3>Social signals are an essential ranking factor for businesses online. As mentioned earlier- the more your brand or company appears around the web, the more significant the trust that is gained, and Social Media is the go-to for trust and recognition.For example, in our online <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/blog/marine-vs-maritime-and-nautical-vs-naval" title="">marine</a> directory, we allow for adding your LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social pages to make a trustworthy and relevant link to your company details on our website directory. This type of linking will send good social signals to Google and other search engines and favour higher rankings due to this trust built through the connections to social media. <h2 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h2><h2>Final Thoughts</h2>Online directory listings should be a part of every brand or company's overall SEO business strategy.Decide carefully where you spend your efforts, time and money listing your business, as not all directories have equal weight. Various types of directories serve businesses differently. Research the popularity of online directories before investing to ensure traffic that might benefit your business.  <h2 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-weight: normal;"> </h2> ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 id="isPasted">Curious Facts about the Marine industry </h3> Shipping is one of the most important and oldest industries in the world.  The <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/" title="">maritime services </a>began thousands of years ago with seafarers trading various items from different ports of call when they crossed paths. In the logistics industry, freight traffic is the most common choice to move consumer goods since freight shipped in containers can easily be moved by trucks, railroads, and containerships. <h2>The Most exciting things about the shipping, maritime and marine industries</h2>Today, Shipping remains the leading form of transportation for all goods. We collected a list of interesting facts about the marine industry to share with you. <h3>Shipping drives the world</h3>Despite significant advancements in other forms of transportation, a surprising 80% of all goods are transported by ship. People worldwide are hugely reliant on imports and exports via Shipping. <h3>The Container Ships around the World</h3>Worldwide, there are around 55,000 merchant ships on the oceans anytime. They carry a lot of things. As per statistics, between 1990 and 2020, the volume of cargo transported by ships almost tripled, from 4 to about 11 billion tons. <h3>The average age of Ships</h3>As per statistics, the average age of the vessel is around 18 years. <h3>The biggest in Shipping Industry</h3>Japan (3,962 ships), Greece (3,032 ships) and Germany (2,321 ships) are the countries that have the three largest fleets in the world. The fact is based on the total DWT controlled by parent companies in those countries. <h3>Shipping is a Big thing indeed</h3>For instance, the shipping industry accounts for more Gross Domestic Product than civil engineering, takeaway food and restaurants combined in the United Kingdom. <h3>Shipping is reliable</h3>Because of its inherently global nature, Shipping was one of the first industries to adopt widely implemented international safety standards. And to this day, it is still more heavily regulated than most other industries—with agencies such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) setting standards for safer, more environmentally friendly Shipping.<h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>Ocean freight is very cheap</h3>Thanks to containerization, it is very cost-effective to transport huge volumes of goods by sea. For example, it's cheaper for Norwegian salmon fish to be sent to China for filleting and then returned to Norway than it is to pay Norwegian staff to do the same job. We're not sure what that says about wage rates in Norway versus China, but it shows how economically viable Shipping is as a form of transport. Another example - the average costs to ship a can of soda or bicycle are only  $0.01 and $10, respectively.  <h3>The largest Ship's Crew</h3>Onboard the US Navy Nimitz class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, there are 5 680 people, of which 3 200 are seafarers. The other 2 480 come from the Air Wing. Such a vessel carries around eighty aircraft. <h3>The price of the shipbuilding</h3>Some of the world's largest container ships cost over $200 million to construct. But even that seems small compared to the cost of luxury cruise ships, which can be as high as $1.4 billion.<h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>Fuel Consumption</h3>A large cargo ship consumes between 100-250 tons of fuel daily. The shipping industry is so big that it would come in sixth if added to the list of the world's most polluting countries. Almost every nationality has a crew on a shipDo you know that about 1.5 million seafarers are working in the global shipping industry? If you are curious about more details, you should know that 98% of those are male and 2% female.  Communications At SeaEven if we live in the twenty-first century, about a third of ship crews worldwide still don't have a means of communication when on the seas. And only around ten per cent have any internet access.<h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>The Container boxes</h3>The most famous ship container colour is green, and approximately 97% of container boxes are made in China. The American businessman Malcom McLean invented the container ship box about 60 years ago. He wanted to transport goods on trucks by sea. Later, he figured out that transporting just' boxes' would be more efficient. <h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>Container ships are Super Powerful </h3>Such high construction costs make sense considering the power needed to propel vessels. Engines on container ships can exceed 100,000hp in power—roughly 1,000 times more than an average car. <h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>The largest Passenger Ship</h3>The world's largest cruise ship is 1,188 feet long and can accommodate 6,988 passengers and 2,300 crew members.<h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>The role of Shipping</h3>Ocean shipping has been a vital mode of transportation for Europe for centuries. Today, ships carry more than half the value of goods imports to the European Union (the EU) and over 40 per cent of goods exports from the EU. <h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>The largest Fleet</h3>The Mediterranean Shipping Company is currently the largest container ship operator globally, followed by APM-Maersk, CMA CGM, COSCO, and Hapag-Lloyd.If all the containers on an 11,000 TEU ship loaded onto a train, it would have to be 77 kilometres long.Line up the container fleet belonging to Maersk alone, and the ships will stretch nearly halfway around the planet. Stack them up, and they'd reach 7,530 Eiffel Towers. Unload their cargo onto trucks, and the traffic will stretch 60 miles.  <h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>The largest container ship </h3>The world's largest container ships can carry a staggering amount of goods. A 21,000 TEU modern container ship can hold up to 745 million bananas. To put that into perspective, that's roughly one banana for every person in Europe and North America.<h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>Ships travel a Lot</h3>On average, a container ship travels a distance equivalent to two-thirds of the way to the moon and back in a single year. If you add up all the trips a vessel makes across the seas in her lifetime, the distance works out to around ten return trips to the moon.<h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>The largest flag state</h3>According to recent Lloyd's List Intelligence figures, Panama still has the world's most significant registry of vessels. The Marshall Islands and Liberia follow in second and third, respectively. <h3>Shipping has influenced the English language</h3>Although many people may not realize it, many maritime expressions have become everyday language. Sayings such as "at close quarters", "learning the ropes", and "high and dry" all have nautical origins. <h3>The largest Sea Port</h3>Shanghai port is the biggest port in the world today. In October 2020, container throughput in the Shanghai port hit a record of over 43 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent units). <h3>The Six Types of Merchant Fleet Ships</h3>Most countries across the world possess and operate merchant ships. The merchant fleet includes General cargo ships, Bulk carriers, Fishing vessels, Container ships, Passenger ships, and Tankers. <h3>Black Statistics</h3>About 2,000 seafarers die at sea yearly, with more than two ships lost daily.  <h3>The Power</h3>A large container ship engine expends approximately a thousand times more power than a regular family car. Shipping is accounted for almost eleven per cent of all transport-related CO2 emissions worldwide. <h3 style="color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;"> </h3><h3>World Maritime Day</h3>Since 1978, the IMO has implemented World Maritime Day. This festive day is celebrated with events and activities and looks ahead at the industry's future. ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[We often try to choose our words very carefully. However, we rarely consider the sources and origins of the many expressions that litter our conversations. Many phrases that have been adopted into everyday use originate from <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/" title="">seafaring</a> – particularly from the days of sail.  When we delve into this world of words, we discover fascinating and enticing stories full of tradition, history, and valuable advice gleaned from the life experiences of those who helped create them. For instance, terms sourced from a life at sea are as diverse and abundant as the sailors who contributed to their creation.  Do you know that "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" comes from brass ship's fittings and that POSH means "Port out, starboard Home", but neither of these is correct?  This article describes the meanings and origins of various terms, idioms, and phrases whose origins can be traced back to sailors and seafarers of old.  Seafaring has a long and rich history. Many activities involved in life on the ocean have seeded the growth of nautical terms that have subsequently found their way into our day-to-day vocabulary in the form of idioms, phrases, and slang.The term logbook, for example, has an interesting derivation in itself. An early form of measuring a ship's progress was casting a wooden board (the log) overboard with a string attached. The rate at which the line was paid out as the ship moved away from the stationary log was measured by counting how long it took between knots n the rope. These measurements were later transcribed into a book; this is how we got the term 'logbook' and the name 'knot' as the unit of speed at sea. Above board - Anything on or above the open deck. If something is available and in plain view, it is above board. All at sea - This dates to when accurate navigational aids weren't available. Any ship out of sight of land was in an uncertain position and in danger of becoming lost. Aloof means to stand apart or be indifferent, but it came from the Old Dutch word loef, which meant "windward" and was used to describe a ship within a fleet which sailed higher to the wind and was thus drawn apart from the rest of the fleet. At loggerheads - An iron ball attached to a long handle was a loggerhead. When heated, it was used to seal the pitch in deck seams. It was sometimes a handy weapon for quarrelling crew members. Chock-a-block - A block and tackle is a pulley system used on sailing ships to hoist the sails. The phrase describes what occurs the system is raised to its fullest extent – when there is no more rope free, and the blocks jam tightly together. Predictably this led to its current meaning, "crammed so tightly together as to prevent movement". Clean bill of health - A certificate signed by a port authority attesting that no contagious disease existed in the port of departure and none of the crew was infected with an illness at the time of sailing. Shore-side, it means in good shape. Clear the deck - One of the things done in preparation for battle. Current usage is similar to batten down the hatches. Close quarters - In the 17th century, the barriers sailors laid across a ship's deck to provide a haven from the enemy were called close fights. By the mid-18th century, confined defensive spaces became called 'close quarters', i.e. close dwellings. This eventually came to mean 'near enough to be able to fight hand to hand. Copper-bottomed - described ships fitted with copper plating on the underside of their hulls. The process was first used on ships of the British Navy in 1761 to defend their wooden planking against attack by Teredo worms, a.k.a. Shipworms, and to reduce infestations by barnacles. The method successfully protected ships' timbers, increased speed and manoeuvrability, and became widely used. Before long, 'copper-bottomed' began to be used figuratively to refer to anything sure and trustworthy. Cut and run is often thought to mean cutting an anchor line to make a quick getaway. Hard to imagine that many ship's masters enjoyed routinely losing an anchor or two. Hence, it is probably more likely referring to the practice of securing the sails of a square-rigged ship with rope yarns that could easily be cut away when a quick departure was necessary. Cut off one's jib - warships often had their foresails or jib sails cut thinly so they could maintain point and not be blown off course. Upon sighting thin foresails on an alien ship, a captain might not like the cut of his jib and would then have an opportunity to escape. Deliver a broadside - the simultaneous firing of the guns and canons on one side of a warship. Quite a blow, as can be imagined. Today it means much the same type of all-out attack, though done (usually) with words. Devil to pay - Originally, this expression described one of the unpleasant tasks aboard a wooden ship. The devil was the ship's longest seam in the hull. Caulking was done with pay or pitch (a kind of tar). The task of 'paying the devil' (caulking the longest seam) by squatting in the bilges was one of the worst and most challenging jobs onboard. The term has come to mean a tough, seemingly impossible task. 'The devil to pay and no pitch hot. Landlubbers, having no seafaring knowledge, assumed it referred to satan and gave the term a moral interpretation. Dressing down - Thin and worn sails were often treated with oil or wax to renew their effectiveness. This was called "dressing down". An officer or sailor who was reprimanded or scolded received a dressing down. Dutch courage - Dated to the 1600s, Anglo-Dutch wars and likely British propaganda claimed that the Dutch troops were so cowardly they wouldn't fight unless fortified with copious amounts of schnapps. The term has come to mean false courage induced by drink or the drink itself. Edging forward - This phrase describes inch-by-inch progress and was first used in the 17th century, typically in nautical contexts and referring to slow advance employing repeated small tacking movements. Even keel - A vessel that floats upright without a list is said to be on an even keel, and this term has come to mean calm and steady. A keel is like a vessel's backbone, the lowest and principal centerline structural member running fore and aft. Keeled over (upside down) was a sailor's term for death. Fall foul of/foul up - Foul is an often used nautical term, meaning entangled or impeded. An anchor tangled in line or cable is a foul anchor. A foul berth is caused by another vessel anchoring too close, wherein the risk of collision exists. A filthy bottom offers poor holding for anchors.  Fathom - A nautical measure equal to six feet used to measure the depth of water at sea. The word was also used to describe taking action or "fathom" something. Today when one is trying to figure something out, they are trying to fathom it or get to the bottom of it. Figurehead - An ornamental figure placed under the front of a ship. Originally a religious and protective emblem. The custom continued but for purely decorative purposes. Hence the term figurehead – a leader with no real power or function except to 'look good or appeal to a specific group. Filibuster - Buccaneers were sometimes known in England as filibusters. From the Dutch for vrybuiter (freebooter) translated into French as flibustier. It is now used as a political term to delay or obstruct the passage of legislation (as opposed to sailing vessels) by non-stop speech-making. First rate - Implies excellence. From the 16th century until steam-powered ships took over, British naval ships were rated as to the number of heavy cannons they carried. A vessel of 100 or more guns was a First Rate line-of-battle ship. The second rate had 90 to 98 guns; Third Rates 64 to 89 guns; the Fourth rate had 50 to 60 guns. Frigates carrying 20 to 48 guns were fifth and sixth rated. Fits the bill - A Bill of Lading was signed by the ship's master acknowledging receipt of specified goods and the promise to deliver them to their destination in the same condition. The goods were checked against the bill upon delivery to see if all was in order. If so, they fit the bill. Flotsam and jetsam - These are legal terms in maritime law. Flotsam is any part of the wreckage of a ship or its cargo that is lost by accident and found floating on the surface of the water. Jetsam is goods or equipment deliberately thrown overboard (jettisoned) to make the ship more stable in high winds or heavy seas. (Lagan is interested in cast overboard with a rope attached so they may be retrieved and sometimes refers to goods remaining inside a sunken ship or lying on the bottom.) Flotsam and jetsam shore-side mean odds and ends of no great value. Footloose - The bottom portion of a sail is called the foot. If it is not secured, it is footloose and dances randomly in the wind. From stem to stern - From the front of a ship to the back. Now describes something in its entirety. Flying colours - To come through a battle with flying colours means a ship has come through relatively unscathed and with her colours (flag) flying. Get underway - 'Way' here doesn't mean road or route but has the specifically nautical meaning of 'the forward progress of a ship through the water or the wake the boat leaves behind. A way has been used like that since at least the 17th century. Give a wide berth - To anchor a ship far enough away from another boat, so they do not hit each other when they swing with the wind or tide. Go overboard - The nautical origin of this one should be pretty self-evident. Gripe - A sailing vessel gripes when, by poor design or imbalance of sail, it tends to end up with its bow into the wind when sailing close-hauled. The sails flap around, forward progress is halted, and she is tough to steer. On land, the term means to complain, complain, complain. Groggy - In 1740, British Admiral Vernon (whose nickname was "Old Grogram" for the cloak of grogram which he wore) ordered that the sailors' daily ration of rum be diluted with water. The men called the mixture "grog". A sailor who drank too much grog was "groggy". Groundswell - A sudden rise of water along the shore. It often happens when the weather is fine, and the sea behind it appears calm. Said to occur when undulating water from a far away storm reaches the shoreline, where friction causes the swell. In everyday use, the term groundswell means a growing change in public opinion. Hand over fist - Hand over hand was a British term for moving quickly up a rope or hoisting a sail, which was a matter of pride and competition among sailors. It is thought that American sailors changed this term to hand over fist, which now means to advance or accumulate rapidly. Hard and fast - A ship that was hard and fast was simply one that was firmly beached on land. Has come to mean rigidly adhered to – without doubt or debate". Hard-up - Hard is another often used nautical term. To put the helm hard over is to put it as far as it will go in that direction. Hard and fast describes a vessel firmly aground, unable to make progress, and has come ashore to mean rigid." Hard up in a clinch and no knife to cut the seizin", the term from which hard up derives, was the sailor's way of saying he had been overtaken by misfortune and saw no way of getting clear of it. Shore-side, the term means in need. Haze - Long before fraternal organisations, hazing was the practice of keeping the crew working all hours of the day or night, whether necessary or not, to deprive them of sleep and to make them generally miserable. In the 19th century, many captains used this practice to assert their authority. Hazing has come to mean the initiation of a newcomer to a group by humiliating and harassing them, thereby affirming the group's authority. High and dry - This term originally referred to ships that were beached. The''dry" implies that not only were they out of the water but had been for some time and could be expected to remain so. Hot chase - A principle of naval warfare, though without basis in law, that allowed a fleeing enemy to be followed into neutral waters and captured there if the chase had begun in international waters. The term hot pursuit derives from this principle". Hulk/hulking - A large and unwieldy ship of simple construction and dubious seaworthiness. On shore, it means big and clumsy. In the offing - This phrase is quite simple to understand once you know that "the offin" is the part of the sea that can be seen from land, excluding parts near the shore. Early texts also refer to it as "offe" or "offin". A ship about to arrive was "in the offin", therefore imminent, which is how the phrase is used today. Idle/idler - Idler was the name for those members of a ship's crew that did not stand night watch because of their work. Carpenters, sailmakers, cooks, etcetera worked during the day and were excused from night-watch duty. They were called idlers, but not because they had nothing to do, simply because they were off duty at night. Junk - Old rope no longer able to take a load. It was cut into shorter lengths and used to make mops and mats. Land-side, junk is all that stuff in your garage you know you'll need right after you throw it away. Jury rig - A temporary repair to keep a disabled ship sailing until it could make port, such as a jury sail erected when the mast was lost or a jury rudder as an emergency means of steering when the ship's rudder was damaged. Keel hauling - A severe naval punishment during the 15th and 16th centuries. The victim, presumably a delinquent sailor, was dragged from one side of the boat to the other, under the bottom of the ship (keel). Tossed over one side and pulled up on the other, he was usually allowed to catch his breath before suddenly being thrown overboard again. Keel hauling lost favour at the beginning of the 18th century, to be replaced by the cat-o-nine-tails. The term still means a rough reprimand. Know the ropes - This is pretty obvious if you've ever seen a tall ship. It was such an essential skill on sailing vessels that an honourable discharge from service was marked with the term "knows the ropes" at one time. Landside still means a person with experience and skill. Also, learn the ropes and show them the ropes. Leeway - The weather side of a ship is the side from which the wind is blowing. The Lee side is the side of the ship sheltered from the wind. A lee shore is a shore that is downwind of a ship. If a vessel does not have enough "leeway", it is in danger of being driven onto the beach. Listless - When a ship was listless, she sat still and upright in the water, with no wind to make her lean over (list) and drive ahead. Long haul - Operation on the ship requires a lot of line hauling. She was also seen in short-haul, an operation requiring little line. Long shot - In old warships, the muzzle-loading cannon were charged with black powder of uncertain potency that would propel the iron shot an equally uncertain distance with questionable accuracy. A 24-pounder long gun, for instance, was considered to have a maximum effective range of 1200 yards, even though, under the right conditions, a ball might travel some 3000 yards. A short, stubby 32-pounder carronade's lethality faded fast beyond 400 yards. Thus, the odds were against a hit when one fired a long shot. Loose cannon - A cannon loose on a pitching, rolling, and yawing deck could cause severe injury and damage. It has come to mean an unpredictable or uncontrolled person likely to cause unintentional harm. Mainstay - A stay that extends from the maintop to the foot of the foremast of a sailing ship. Currently, a thing upon which something is based or depends.No room to swing a cat - The entire ship's company was required to witness flogging at close hand. The crew might crowd around so that the bosun's Mate might not have enough room to swing his cat" nine tails. On your ends - The beams are the horizontal transverse timbers of ships. This phrase came about with the allusion to the danger of imminent capsize if the ends were touching the water. Currently, it means to be in a bad situation". Over the barrel - Flogging was the most common method of punishment aboard the ship. The unfortunate sailor was tied to a grating, mast or over the barrel of a deck cannon. Overbearing - To sail downwind directly at another ship, thus "stealing" or diverting the wind from his sails. Overhaul - To prevent the buntline ropes from chaffing the sails, the crew were sent aloft to haul them over the sails. This was called overhauling.Overreach - If a ship holds a tack course too long, it has overreached its turning point, and the distance it must travel to reach its subsequent tack point increases. Overwhelm - Old English for capsize or founder. Pipe down - A boatswain's call was denoting the completion of an all-hands evolution, and that you can go below. It was the last signal from the bosun's pipe each day which meant "lights out" and "silence". Pooped - A sailing ship's rearmost, highest deck was called the poop deck. If a ship were unlucky enough to be overtaken by a massive, breaking sea which drenched her from astern, she was said to have been"  "pooped" When you think about it, the sea and shore use of the word isn't that different: in both cases, you're washed out. Press into service - The British navy filled their ships' crew quotas by kidnapping men off the streets and forcing them into service. This was called Impressment and was done by Press Gangs. Scuttlebutt - A butt was a barrel. Scuttle meant to chop a hole in something. The scuttlebutt was a water barrel with a hole so sailors could reach in and dip out drinking water. The scuttlebutt was the place where the ship's gossip was exchanged. Ship-shape and Bristol fashion - A reference to the precise nature of shipbuilding (and maintenance) and the exemplary work that came from Bristol shipyards. Shiver me timbers - one meaning of shiver, which is now largely forgotten, is to break into pieces. That meaning originated as early as the 14th century and is recorded in several Old English texts. So, the sailor's oath shivers my timbers, is synonymous with "let my boat break into pieces". Skyscraper - A small triangular sail set above the skysail to maximise effect in a light wind. Slush fund - A slushy fat slurry was obtained by boiling or scraping the empty salted meat storage barrels. This stuff called "slush" was often sold ashore by the ship's cook to benefit himself or the crew. The money so derived became known as a slush fund. Son of a gun - When in port and with the crew restricted to the ship for extended periods, wives and ladies of easy virtue often were allowed to live aboard along with the staff. Infrequently, but not uncommonly, children were born aboard, and a convenient place for this was between guns on the gun deck. If the child's father was unknown, they were entered in the ship's log as "son of a gun". Probably a sanitised version of "son of a bitch”, despite the various folk etymologies. A square meal - In good weather, the crew's mess was a warm meal served on square wooden platters. Squared away - On square-rigged vessels, the state of the sails when adequately trimmed. Currently, arranged or dealt with satisfactorily. Taken aback - A dangerous situation where the wind is on the wrong side of the sails pressing them back against the mast and forcing the ship astern. This was often caused by an inattentive helmsman who had allowed the boat to head up into the wind. Taking the wind out of his sails - Sailing to steal or divert wind from another ship's sails. Taking turns - Changing watches with the turn of the hourglass. Three sheets to the wind - A sheet is a rope line which controls the tension on the downwind side of a square sail. If the sheets of the three lower course sails are loose on a three-masted fully rigged ship, the sails will flap and flutter and are said to be "in the win". A boat in this condition would stagger and wander downwind. Tide over - At first glance, this would seem to be a nautical term. Today it means to make a tiny bit of something, usually money, last until a supply comes in, as in borrowing some money to tide you over till payday. However, the meaning has changed over the years. A while ago, ships could move under sail power or, in the absence of wind, float along with the tide called a tide over. One could say the floating would tide the ship over until the wind came again to move it along. Toe the line - When called to line up at attention, the ship's crew would form up with their toes touching a seam in the deck planking. True colours - The current meaning," to reveal yourself as you are," came about because of the opposite phrase "false colour" – from the 17th century, referring to a vessel that sailed under a flag, not her own. Almost everyone used this tactic as a ruse de guerre. Still, the rules of gentlemanly behaviour (and possibly actual legal rules) required one to raise one's true colours before opening fire on another ship. Try a different tack - The direction in which a ship move is determined by the position of its sails and the direction of the wind. If one path didn't bring the boat up properly, one could always attempt another. Turn a blind eye - From Admiral Lord Nelson's incredible display of badassery at the Battle of Copenhagen. When the signal was given to stop fighting, Nelson held his spyglass to his blind eye and insisted he didn't see the sign. He then proceeded to kick butt, of course. Under the weather - Keeping watch onboard sailing ships was dull and tedious, but the worst watch station was on the "weather" (windward) side of the bow. The sailor assigned to this station was subject to the constant pitching and rolling of the ship. By the end of his watch, he would be soaked from the waves crashing over the bow. A sailor assigned to this unpleasant duty was said to be "under the weather" Sometimes, these men fell ill and died due to the assignment, which is why today ", under the weather" refers to someone suffering from an illness. A related theory claims that ill sailors were sent below deck (or "under the weather ") if they felt sick. Warning shot across the bow - From the literal practice of firing a warning shot across another ship's bow to encourage the captain to strike without engaging. Windfall - A sudden unexpected rush of wind from a mountainous shore which allowed a ship more leeway. ]]></content:encoded>

Today we discuss the business card (printed or digital) that stands out from the crowd and makes a lasting impression and the essential elements to put on a business card. <h2>Why is a business card necessary?</h2>You can use many tools for marketing yourself to employers and clients, but having a physical business card is still an essential business tool for professionals. A business card is vital because it:<ul><li>It helps your target audience, or customers remember you</li><li>Provides your customers, potential partners or customers with your contact information</li><li>Creates legitimacy for yourself or your business</li></ul> <h2>What essential info to include on your business card</h2>Though the information you include on a business card may vary, a business card should include information that identifies your company or who you are as a professional.Consider the following elements as the most valuable for making your business card stand out to your professional contacts: <h3>Name and Contact information</h3>Each business card must include your or the company name and contact information. The primary purpose of every business card is to help people remember your business and to be able to contact you when they need it. Contact information can include a physical address, email address, and phone number. You can include information for several contact methods but always have at least one. <h3>Picture or logo</h3>Pictures and logos can add a visual element that makes your printed and digital business card more memorable. The logo should be unique. <h3>Company slogan</h3>Someone looking at your business card should immediately be able to identify what your company does by your company's tagline on the business card. <h3>Website and Social media</h3>Apart from the basic contact information, you must include the URL for your website, social media pages of your company, or a digital portfolio to showcase your business. <h3>Position or Title</h3>If you are a freelancer or company representative, include your title or position on your business card. <h3>A QR code</h3>Consider adding a QR code so clients or business partners can quickly find additional information about your brand or business.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=boat+strorage&google=boat%20strorage" title="">Boat storage</a> is essential for boaters in both the summer and winter. However, the question raises many questions. What are the best places to store boat gear for you? Are additional storage containers needed for my equipment, or can they be left on the boat? Do not worry, boater; we are here to help you with all your questions regarding boat storage and storage facilities. Let's begin by separating the three main options available for boat storage.<ul style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-top:0in;" type="disc"><li style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Boat storage in-water</li><li style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Outdoor boat storage</li><li style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Dry boat storage indoors</li></ul><h2> </h2><h3>Keep Your Boat in the Water</h3>Many people keep their boats in the water throughout the year, because it is acceptable to store your boat in the water all year in mild climates.<img src="https://www.marineservices.ltd/images/879e91ce6a983711a9c11d89291bdffe576479f2.jpg" style="width: 800px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" loading="lazy" width="800" height="532"> <h3>Dry Boat Storage</h3>It is more popular to store your boat outdoors. It is relatively safe for your boat and protects it well. Also, it is much cheaper than other options. You might ask yourself, "Where is outdoor boat storage near my home?" If price is an issue, perhaps you are wondering, "Where is cheap boat storage near my home?" Unfortunately, we won't be able to answer these questions because we need to know your location. However, we have good news: <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=Outdoor+boat+storage&google=Outdoor%20boat%20storage" title="">Outdoor boat storage</a> is usually very affordable wherever boats are found. It's available at almost all boat yards, marinas, and commercial storage facilities. Plenty of fenced areas are available for boat storage in popular areas and boat trailer storage during summer.<img src="https://www.marineservices.ltd/images/72f5ca69040eb0b7b0a8248c275d0c39963c6a10.jpg" style="width: 800px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" loading="lazy" width="800" height="572"> <h3>Indoor Boat Storage</h3>Although it is more expensive, <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=indoor+boat+storage" title="">indoor boat storage</a> offers the best protection for your boat. Finding indoor storage for your boat can only be easy if you have a covered dry stack facility. This is sometimes called a <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=boatel">boatel</a>, where boats are placed on racks within a protected building. If you don't have a garage your boat can fit into, it is best to keep it at home. If that is not possible, the same question we asked earlier will likely be asked again: "Where is indoor boat storage near my home?" This question may be more challenging to answer.<img src="https://www.marineservices.ltd/images/9e4595dca0b3d78fd685d11b340753df322af397.jpg" style="width: 800px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" loading="lazy" width="800" height="545"><h2>Boat Storage Costs</h2>Two main factors affect the cost of boat storage: where you live and how big your boat is. The local economy influences prices for boat storage. This means that you will pay less in low-cost areas than in high-rent areas. Storage costs are affected by how big your boat is.A small boat that can be towed and stored in a field for the winter will cost you a few hundred dollars. Indoor storage costs are thousands of dollars. Larger boats may need to be kept in a slip. The latter could run into the thousands. For indoor storage, you can pay $50 per foot. However, it might cost $200 per foot in more expensive areas. Keep one thing in mind. Most boats can be stored year-round in indoor dry-stack facilities. You don't need to pay extra for summer storage and your boat will be protected all year. If you keep your boat in a permanent wet slip, you don't need to pay for winter storage. However, there will be annual haul-out fees to maintain your boat.Another factor that could impact storage costs is whether your boat is attached to a trailer. You can park your boat and trailer at a marina with a boat ramp year-round for a meager fee. Just so you know, not all marinas will launch or retrieve your boat. Therefore, you need a tow vehicle to pull the boat to the ramp and back to the spot.  <h2 style="line-height: 1;">Advantages and Disadvantages of the various Boat Storage options. </h2>Slip holders may find it more convenient to store a boat year-round than store it dry through winter. However, there are some risks. The hull can become frozen if the marina loses power or the agitator fails to work. This could lead to ice damage. Most boat owners choose dry storage in the off-season, particularly in areas with severe winters. Slip owners who own a lift might also decide to keep the boat on the lift throughout the winter. You may also find some benefits to storing your boat at a <a href="https://www.marineservices.ltd/sitesearch?q=marina" title="">marina</a>. Many marinas have a swimming pool, a clubhouse, WiFi, and fish-cleaning stations. They also offer boat storage boxes mounted on the pier, commonly called "dock boxes," and other amenities that make boating more enjoyable. Outdoor boat storage has many advantages, including low cost and availability, mainly if the boat is on its trailer. Security is a concern. The facility should be secured, locked, and monitored by video or fencing. Commercial storage is a popular choice in metro areas. Outdoor boat storage involves:<ul style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-top:0in;" type="disc"><li style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Shrink-wrapping your boat.</li><li style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Storing it under a boat storage canopy.</li><li style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26);">Covering it securely during winter to protect it from water intrusion and weathering.</li></ul>The most significant drawbacks to indoor storage are cost and availability. Many boaters prefer to plan for something other than when they will be using their boat. You can call ahead to arrange for your boat to be lifted off the docks. Some facilities do not allow boat owners to work on their boats there, so you might need to hire a professional to perform maintenance such as oil changes. It is a good idea to store your boat indoors. A boat's life expectancy can be extended by complete protection against weathering. <h2>FAQs about Storing Your Boat</h2> <h3>What is the cost of winter boat storage?</h3>The storage cost varies depending on your boat's size and location. For an estimate of costs, it is possible to spend between $50 and $200 per foot indoors and somewhere between $20- $50 for outdoor storage. <h3>How much does boat storage cost?</h3>It is relatively inexpensive to store a boat all year. However, it will cost less to keep in winter than in summer. If you hold your boat on a land surface, these prices can help you understand what you should expect. The cost of keeping your boat in a water slip will vary depending on the location and size. <h3>Wrapping a boat for winter storage.</h3>A professional can shrink-wrap your boat to protect it from the elements.
