Are the new fuel-efficient bulkers a threat to the old fleet?

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the headlined eco-bulkers ordered in 2012 and 2013 are posing a threat to the less-efficient ships ordered at the end of the boom in 2008 and 2009. Design/methodology/approach – This paper will first investigate the drivers for the interest in such low-emission, low-speed bulker as well as the more general history of bulker desig…

Assessing the shipping in the Northern Sea Route: a qualitative approach

Purpose – The Northern Sea Route (NSR) could become viable in the near future. If this happens, it will radically reduce sailing times and distances on routes from Asia to Northern Europe. However, although much has been written about the feasibility of the NSR, about the issues involved and about the possible opening of the route, the views of key stakeholders from companies who would potent…

Indonesia Oil & Gas Report Includes 10-Year Forecasts To 2026

Falling production against rising demand will see Indonesia become a larger importer of crude oil, refined fuels and natural gas (in the form of LNG) over our 10-year forecast period. Notably, diminishing gas supplies and subsequent pressure to exports will turn Indonesia into a net LNG importer for the first time by 2021. Realisation of the government's ambitious downstream expansion plans cou…

Port and terminal management

With global trade at unprecedented levels, port and terminal managements are fast adapting to meet rising demand. Globalisation is putting port models under increasing pressure to remain competitive in fickle cargo markets. Increasing productivity ─ through expansion or better utilisation of existing assets ─ is a must for economic survival.

The storage constrained, inbound inventory routing problem

This paper aims to describe the storage constrained, inbound inventory routeing problem and presents bounds and heuristics for solutions to this problem. It also seeks to analyze various characteristics of this problem by comparing the solutions generated by the two proposed heuristics with each other and with the lower bound solutions.

Inland Waterway Freight Transport in the UK

Inland waterways play a much greater role in inland freight carrying in the United Kingdom than is generally realised. The purpose of this article is to show the extent of the underestimation of water transport and to outline the potential for future development and the problems which will have to be overcome to realise that potential.

Green Maritime Logistics and Sustainability

The environmental consequences of international trade and transport have gained importance as a result of the current climate debate. Products are increasingly being produced in one part of the world, transported to another country and then redistributed to their final country of consumption. Since more than 80% of world trade tonnage measured in metric tons is carried by seagoing vessels, mar…

Virtual logistics- transport in the marketspace

While transport seems to be increasingly constrained in its mission to supply services which are continuous, costless and available in all directions, the telecommunications system seems to have no such constraints and to be developing ever more rapidly in terms of inter‐connectivity, falling costs and multi‐directionality. It would seem to be impossible to contemplate the future demand for…

The significant exodus of containers inland due to the container revolution has increased the salience of inland terminals for efficient freight distribution. Further, the migration of containers gradually inland has forced seaports to depend on these inland terminals to determine their competitiveness and offer a mechanism for competitive freight price to the consumer. The performance of dry p…

Ship safety in open ports

Ports and terminals open to prevailing winds can cause problems to moored ships with a high freeboard. Such ships, i.e. ship and berth mooring systems, have to deal with signifi cant aerodynamic loads.Th is paper addresses the theoretical approach of the infl uence of aerodynamic loads on a mooring system for ship and investigates whether windscreens can reduce aerodynamic loads on ships in ports

Seaport resilience to climate change: mapping vulnerability to sea-level rise

This paper examines the likely impact of extreme weather events and rising sea levels on key port logistics operations and infrastructure. It develops a 3D model to assess the vulnerability of seaports vis-a`-vis operational assets to sea-level rise. Key operational assets were first identified and geo-referenced on a high-resolution digital terrain model. In addition, perceptions of threat of …

Port Congestion and Implications to Maritime Logistics

Ports are widely recognised as crucial nodes in international trade and transport. However, for various reasons, capacity does not always match demand: sometimes there is overcapacity, whereas in other cases, demand exceeds capacity and there is a shortage of the latter. This chapter therefore looks at where port congestion occurs, both globally and in the port-calling chain; it analyses actual…
