Comparison of vehicle types at an automated container terminal

At automated container terminals, containers are transshipped from one mode of transportation to another. Automated vehicles transport containers fromthe stack to the ship and vice versa. Two different types of automated vehicles are studied in this paper, namely automated lifting vehicles and automated guided vehicles. An automated lifting vehicle is capable of lifting a container from the gro…

Comparative North American and European Gateway Logistics: The Regionalism of…

The global freight distribution system has been impacted by convergence in terms of technology, infrastructure, modes and terminals. Still, in spite of strong converging forces, it can be argued that logistical practices are far from being uniform. This paper analyses the regionalism in freight transport systems by providing a comparative analysis of gateway logistics practices in North America…

Bi-objective optimization for the container terminal integrated planning

In this paper, we study the joint optimization of the tactical berth allocation and the tac- tical yard allocation in container terminals, which typically consist of berth side and yard side operations. The studied two objectives are: (i) the minimization of the violation of the vessels’ expected turnaround time windows with the purpose of meeting the timeta- bles published by shipping liners…

Automobile production is a worldwide industry in which quality has always been a very prominent and pertinent issue. There exists, however, certain links in the logistical chain that involve local initiatives in the finishing of the final product – including final testing, repairs to breakdowns and damage that occurred during transport operations. There also exists a group of steps or links i…

Quality assurance in the maritime port logistics chain: the case of Valencia,…

The provision of port services is an important link in international logistics. Historically, ports have constituted a bottleneck in maritime transport. Moreover, the quality of port services has been compromised by the complex internal port organisation and the considerable number of bodies that participate in the transfer of goods between ships and inland transport vehicles. The efficiency of…

Organizing for network synergy in logistics A case study

Synergism can be defined as the co-operative action of discrete agencies such that the total effect is greater than the sum of the effects taken independently. The concept has formed one of the key components of the various strategy formulation frameworks and has been used especially for motivating corporate growth through diversification. However, as many diversification strategies failed and …

Maritime Logistics and Supply Chain Security

Despite a hangover from the worldwide economic crisis, international trade rebounded nicely with a record-level growth in late 2010. A sharp rise in international trade has sparked the international traffic growth. A majority of this traffic growth originated from maritime logistics which could move cargoes in large volume and at cheaper freight costs. Due to its cost-efficiency and easy acces…

Evaluation of alternative logistics operations for the national supply of an …

One result of the continuing current competitive environment in Australia is cost pressure on the supply of manufacturing commodities such as anhydrous sodium sulphate. Commodity suppliers do not have much scope for providing value-added services. Anhydrous sodium sulphate, for example, is mostly brought to the customer’s attention when negative service characteristics occur – stocks run lo…

Assessing the Environmental Impact of Maritime Operations in Ports: A Systems…

This chapter presents a framework which is accessible to port authorities to assess the potential environmental impact of maritime operations. Pursuant on globalisation, increased numbers of shipmovements have generatedmore frequent routine maritime operations in ports but few formal approaches exist for assessing their environmental impact, which potentially could be significant. In a novel f…

PORT OPERATIONS, PLANNING AND LOGISTICS

Ports are critical infrastructure resources and serve a key role in the transportation of freight and people. With more than 80% of international trade by volume being carried by sea, ports are vital for seaborne trade and international commerce. Ports are the critical nodal interfaces where maritime transport connects with other modes of tra sport and where trading, distribution and logistics…

Solving simulation optimization problems on grid computing systems

The optimal assignment of berth slots and cranes to shipping services is the central logistics problem at modern marine container terminals and should be formulated to specifically account for its stochastic nature. We use a computational grid to solve a major seaport logistic problem by a simulation optimization approach centred around a queuing network model of the logistic process of interes…
