The global clinical trials business worth is estimated $50 Billion in 2008, with a growth rate of 10%.The market will show considerable growth in the future. An increased emphasis has been placed on cost-effectiveness of pharmaceutical R&D, as well as increased productivity to maintain the high output of recent years. Consequently, the pharmaceutical industry has witnessed rapid expansion of outsourced clinical services in both the West and in developing nations, most notably India and China. Importantly, pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies are increasingly delegating the responsibility of clinical trials to contract research organisations (CROs).The majority of the revenues generated by the clinical trials industry are due to large pharmaceutical companies outsourcing clinical research, the most crucial and expensive stage of drug development, to companies specialising in that work. The major challenge for the pharmaceutical companies in the next five years will be to maintain high growth rates. The branded pharmaceuticals market is under substantial pressure due to: Existing generic competition, Impending loss of major patents, and relatively thin pipeline.Because of the nature of the clinical trials industry it will, in turn, experience increasing pressures to deliver a cost-effective service. The demand among drugs companies for a more cost-efficient pipeline has therefore intensified in recent years. The strategy that pharmaceutical companies now seem to be applying to clinical trials mirrors the latest trends in the drug discovery section of development.Contract research organisations (CROs) are playing increasingly vital roles on behalf of manufacturers in the global drug development process, from conducting Phase I trials to post-marketing studies. It is often difficult for pharmaceutical and biotech companies to decide which CRO to offer a contract to. However, the market is undergoing rapid change over the coming years, with different companies approaching the challenges in different ways. The CRO market, however, continues to grow steadily at an average 10% yearly growth rate.Bharatbook.com included a new report “Global Clinical Trial Business Report & Analysis 2008-2018” which investigates the global market for such services, providing forecasts for revenues and expenditure there, as well as a comprehensive examination of principles driving and restraining the clinical trials market worldwide.  In Global Clinical Trial Business 2008-2018 provides the following essential information for understanding the clinical trial business:• The value of the clinical trial business market and its principal market segments from 2008 to 2018

When ship owners and ship officers find themselves in court or even in prison, following discharges of pollutants from their vessels, it does not seem a lot to ask that adeqate equipment is provided to prevent such pollution.

Studies sponsored by the Department of Transport some years ago confirmed this view and identified that only 40% of the oily water separators installed on ships worked within the limits as prescribed y the marine pollution convention.

The Pollution Prevention Handbook will help ship engineers to quickly increase their knowledge of systems, procedures and regulations relating to pollution issues and prevention measures. The handbook describes the fundamentals of pollution prevention prequirements in simple language and includes many practical checklists.

Pollution Prevention Handbook 2006 is a practical handbook which will form an essential reference point for officers and crew, as well as shore based operations teams to ensure that they only comply with Marpol regulations and avoid costly fines and ship detentions.

All of the documents and checklists contained within the publication can be downloaded from the CD ROM onto your PC, enabling you to complete and send them electronically, as well as archiving them for future reference.
