The yearbook contains statistical indicators derived and compiled from numerous different sources. Every effort has been to provide a collection of data relevant to the analysis of developments within each of the following markets. Shipping, Shipbuilding, ports and sea canals.
Building with nature is a concept that perfectly fits that approach. Where possible we strive to reach our objectives by making use of natural processes, creating integrated solutions that are flexible, that help to safeguard our economy and boost our ecology, that are both cost effective and sustainable, and that make our country safer and more attractive as a place to live.

This book have several chapters become incresingly in need of updating. For example, the chapter on Limitation of Lialibility has, in this second edition, been given greater depth on the 1976 (London) Convention in view of itsnow imminent coming into effect. Also the very significant and controversial, court ruling in The Marion Case (at House of Lords level) has been written into the cahapter.…
The paper aims to identify both the location and severity of damage in complex framed buildings using limited noisy vibration measurements. The study aims to directly adopt incomplete measured mode shapes in structural damage identification and effectively reduce the influence of measurement errors on predictions of structural damage.
The purpose of this paper is to develop a risk assessment method for production processes of large-size steel ship hulls
Case and field research studies continue to be rarely published in operations management journals, in spite of increased interest in reporting such types of studies and results. This paper documents the advantages and rigor of caserfield research and argues that these methods are preferred to the more traditional rationalist methods of optimization, simulation, and statistical modeling for buil…
Argues that logistics networks in the building industry will develop in relation to transaction-specific investments in new information technologies such as EDI and PDI. This is particularly the case where strategic considerations play a subordinate role and efficiency arguments are stressed. The limitations of the transaction cost approach are also discussed. In the building industry, logistic…
THis paper is mainly concerner with the digital manufacturing
Automating the welding process for the shipbuilding industry is very challenging and important, as this industry relies heavily on quality welds. Conventional robotic welding systems are seldom used because the welding tasks in shipyards are characterised by non‐standardised workpieces which are large but small in batch sizes. Furthermore, geometries and locations of the workpieces are uncert…
Korean small and medium sized (SMS) shipyards are facing difficulties getting new orders in the conditions of the marine recession, and many SMS shipyards have gone bankrupt. In general, SMS shipyards have fairly low credit ratings, so it is hard for them to get a Refund Guarantee (RG), which is a necessary document for contracts from commercial banks or the Export Credit Agency (ECA). I analyz…
In this article we derive an equation defining contemporaneous equilibrium prices across the four shipping markets: the newbuilding market, the second-hand market, the demolition market and the freight market. The model requires rather general conditions, namely that (i) all second-hand ships are priced based on linear depreciation down to scrap value, (ii) expectations of the future scrap valu…
The Clyde is famous throughout the world for its shipbuilding. It has been called the cradle of steam navigation and is the birthplace of the Queen Mary and countless other liners, warships and cargo ships. Glasgow was not always a city of industry: its early life was dominated by the cathedral and the university. However, by the eighteenth century the import of tobacco and sugar and the manufa…
The purpose of this paper is to use a theory-based approach to develop a new classification model for disasters that reflects their logistics implications, and to contextualise the findings by applying the model to a particular disaster situation.
Dohwa Engineering has started building a 49.5MW solar array in the Le Thuy district in the central Vietnamese province of Quang Binh. The project is the first phase of the Dohwa renewable energy power complex and requires an investment of more than USD55mn. The overall renewable energy complex will have a 550MW solar power project, 100MW biomass power generation project, vacation resort and wat…
The purpose of this study is to discuss the progress and challenges of South Asia in trade liberalization and facilitation, and to quantitatively demonstrate the potential benefits of trade facilitation in South Asia.
This study analyses how policy measures and technological developments affect the trade-offs between elements of the logistical system of a supply chain. It is assumed that this logistical system consists of the following elements: sourcing, production, inventory, transportation and service. Two cases of supply chains of building materials have been analysed. This analysis results in a matrix i…
Tugboat services are an important part of Indonesia Port Corporation II (IPC) as a port operator. IPC II as the largest port operator in Indonesia that still continue to developing their business would be needs a large number of tugboat in the future for support a port services. In this case the development process of the tugs would be particularly as an important to give a magnitude for IPC I…
The key to successful project control is the fusing of cost to schedule whereby the management of one helps to manage the other. Project Control: Integrating Cost and Schedule in Construction explores the reasons behind and the methodologies for proper planning, monitoring, and controlling both project costs and schedule. Filling a current void the topic of project control applied to the constr…
