Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this study is to find out the future development of the Panama Canal after opening of the new waterway (third set of locks project), in terms of the change of cargo throughput, further deployment of fleets by the shipping companies and competition for the canal.
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show that constructing magnetic equivalent circuits (MECs) for simulating accelerator magnets is possible by defining a three-port magnetic element for modelling the T-shape field distribution, where the flux leaves the yoke and enters the aperture. Design/methodology/approach – A linear three-port magnetic element is extracted from an analytical fi…
The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code lays out the regulatory framework for all aspects of handling dangerous goods and marine pollutants in sea transport, but does not include all details of procedures for packing of dangerous goods or actions to take in the event of an emergency or accident involving personnel associated with the IMDG Code that cover these aspects of the transport o…
This book completes the trilogy by Robert H. Brown, on the principles and practice of marine insurance, which was commenced in 1968. Volume 3 encompasses the whole range of hull insurance as practised in the London insurance market. This book deals with Hull Practice in the London market, with occasional references to overseas business. The Principles of Marine Insurance were covered by Vulume…
This book describe marine corrosion technology has been preoccupied with the corrosion of ships. Within the last ten years, however the rapid expansion of offshore oil and gas exploitation has changed the course of corrosion research as well as the market for corrosion services and products. So complete has been the change that a new approach, dealing with ship…

The purpose of the IMO model courses is to assist maritime training institutes and their teaching staff in organzing and introducing new training courses, or in enching, updating or supplementing existing training material where the quality and effectiveness of the training course may thereby be improved
Of all the international conventions dealing with maritime safety, the most important is the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, better known as SOLAS, which covers a wide range of measures designed to improve the safety of shipping. The Convention is also one of the oldest of its kind: the first version was adopted in 1914 following the sinking of the Titanic with the loss …

The TransNav 2011 Symposium held at the Gdynia Maritime University, Poland in June 2011 has brought together a wide range of participants from all over the world. The program has offered a variety of contributions, allowing to look at many aspects of the navigational safety from various different points of view. Topics presented and discussed at the Symposium were: navigation, safety at …
The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973 (MARPOL Convention), is concerned with preserving the marine environment through the prevention of pollution by oil and other harmful substances and the minimization of accidental discharge of such substances. Its technical content is laid out in six Annexes, the first five of which were adopted by the 1973 Convention…
The performance of marine terminals has generally been evaluated by comparing their actual throughputs with their optimum throughputs. The engineering approach that generally has been used to determine optimum throughputs may be appropriate when terminals have natural hinterlands. In a deregulated (competitive) environment in which the natural hinterlands of marine terminals have become diffuse…
Long-range visual marine aids to navigation are not required for current marine navigational practices. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop a minimum luminous range for major lighthouses that are still in existence to sustain the operation of the lighthouses in the future. Two steps were involved in the determination of the minimum luminous range, namely the modification of th…

In this paper, we study stacking policies for containers at an automated container terminal. It is motivated by the increasing pressure on terminal performance put forward by the increase in the size of container ships. We consider several variants of category stacking, where containers can be exchanged during the loading process. The categories facilitate both stacking and online optimization …
This study analyses the production and the dispersion of air pollutants produced by ship engines of great displacement during the approaching phase to the seaports. In agreement with the present environmental rules, several scenarios were examined, considering the possibility of fuel switch, from heavy fuel oil to marine gasoil. After characterizing the emissions during this fuel change-over, a…
The book examines how the absence of insurance in the past led to some unique maritime liability law principles such as ‘general average’ (i.e., losses or expenses shared by all the parties to a maritime adventure) and the limitation of ship owners’ liability. In the absence of insurance, these principles served the function of insurance mostly for ship owners. As commercial marine insura…
In 2012, two high profile maritime incidents pushed shipping safety into the public eye once more with the loss of the Costa Concordia off Italy in January followed in February by that of the Rabaul Queen ferry, off Papua New Guinea. Both events caused a tragic loss of life. However, while these incidents have dominated public ship safety discussions, statistics reveal that reported total losse…
Commercial litigators and other users of commercial, insurance and maritime statutes will be acquainted with the occasional irritation caused by not having a relevant statute at hand. The intention of this compilation is to provide a ready reference to all the statutes regularly encountered in the context of commercial, maritime and insurance litigation. The statutes chosen are those which we c…
One of the most important operations in marine container terminals is quay crane scheduling. The quay crane scheduling problem (QCSP) involves scheduling groups of containers to be loaded and unloaded by each quay crane. It also requires addressing practical issues such as minimum spacing between quay cranes and precedence relationships between container groups. This study addresses the QCSP wi…

The changing role of seaports in supply chains has been the subject of extensive research in the recent literature. The strategic development of seaport terminals, responding to the need for closer integration into supply chains, invites a more detailed examination of the influence of the supply chain structures on seaport performance. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the effects of su…
The purpose of this paper is to examine traditional, current and emerging roles played by ports in the context of logistics and supply chain management practice and strategy. The paper also seeks to elaborate the emerging concept of port-centric logistics.
