The proponents of CFAR claim that the fastest way for r…

Efficiency assessment of container operations of shipping agents in Spanish p…

In this paper a two-stage Data Envelopment Approach is used to assess the relative efficiency of container shipping agents operating at Spanish ports, and studying the factors influencing it. In the first stage, an input-oriented, Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) model is used to compute efficiency scores of the different shipping agents. The model considers labor as input, and numbers of loaded…

Assessing a cross-border logistics policy using a performance measurement sys…

For the most rapidly growing economic entity in the world, China, a new logistics operation called the indirect cross-border supply chain model has recently emerged. The primary idea of this model is to reduce logistics costs by storing goods at a bonded warehouse with low storage cost in certain Chinese regions, such as the Pearl River Delta (PRD). This research proposes a performance measurem…

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…

Cargo Work For Maritime Operations

The world of cargo operations has changed considerably from the days of the open stowage of merchandise. Unitized cargoes in the form of ‘containers’ or Roll-on, Roll-off cargoes and pallatization have generated a need for alternative handling methods and changing procedures. The work of the stevedore/longshoreman has moved on to a vastly different role to that previously employed in gener…

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…

A characterization of a business process

Hess and Oesterle (1996) provide a detailed comparison of 12 approaches to business process reengineering (BPR). Common themes to each method are the gathering of information, some characterization of the business process that is being reengineered followed by analysis and process modification. However, techniques for characterizing business processes are not yet well established. This paper ta…

Application of El Farol model for managing marine terminal gate congestio

Truck queuing at marine terminal gates has long been recognized as a source of emissions problem due to the large number of trucks idling. For this reason, there is a great deal of interest among the different stakeholders to lessen the severity of the problem. An approach being experimented by some terminals to reduce truck queuing at the terminal is to provide live views of their gates via we…

Supply chain risks: a review and typology

Supply chain security (SCS), as a component of an organization’s overall supply chain risk management strategy, has become a critical factor for businesses and government agencies since September 11, 2001, yet little empirical research supports policy or practice for the field. Therefore, this paper develops and presents a categorization of SCS based on existing research. This categorization …

In green logistics operation, all logistics processes form a bidirectional closed-loop topology. In order to model and optimize such a kind of structure, a standardized closed-loop logistics operation reference model is built which aims to provide supply chain managers with general analysis. Based on the reference model, potential risks of closed-loop logistics chain can be analyzed including n…

Efficient handling of containers at a terminal can reduce the overall vessel sojourn times and minimise operational costs. The internal transport of containers in these terminals is performed by vehicles that share a common guide path. The throughput capacity of a terminal may increase by increasing the number of vehicles; however, simultaneously congestion may reduce the effective vehicle spee…

An integrated fuzzy risk assessment for seaport operations

Seaport operations are characterised by high levels of uncertainty, as a result their risk evaluation is a very challenging task. Much of the available data associated with the system’s operations is uncertain and ambiguous, requiring a flexible yet robust approach of handling both quantitative and qualitative data as well as a means of updating existing information as new data becomes availa…

Hazards analysis of routine ship towage operations in Indian coastal waters

Main cause of accidents is just not always bad luck. Literature on safety has emphasised on the facts that accident finally leads to unfortunate consequence. The first step of risk assessment is to identify the hazards that are present. The Routine Ship Towage, also called harbour towage, is potentially a hazardous operation. The main objective of this research is to identify and quantify the i…

In our medium-term forecast to 2019, BMI believes the rail and air freight modes will see higher growth than road freight transport, as a result of state and external investment i…

MicroPort: a general simulation platform for seaport container terminals

Seaport container terminals are essential nodes in sea cargo transportation networks. As such, the operational efficiency of container terminals in handling containers passing through them plays a critical role in a globalized world economy. Many models and algorithms have been developed to address various decision problems in container terminals to help improve operational efficiency. These de…
