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…

Increasing the benefits of product-level benchmarking for strategic eco-effic…

Widely accepted classifications of benchmarking distinguish between different levels of benchmarking. Strategic-level benchmarking is considered to be of a higher sophistication than product-level benchmarking. Such strategic benchmarking would be based on process information instead of product information. The purpose of this paper is to research the possibility of obtaining strategic-level in…

Comparative evaluation of resource cycle strategies on operating and environm…

This paper examines the use of single and dual cycle operations for three types of resources, namely, quay cranes, vehicles, and yard cranes to improve the operating efficiency and reduce the energy consumption in a container terminal. Various cycle strategies are proposed and their corresponding estimation models, describing the stowage distributions of outbound and inbound containers on a shi…

Characteristics of Swedish forest biomass terminals for energy

Forest biomass terminals provide diverse services to the forest industry: buffer storage, transfers of material between different modes of transport, raw material upgrading, etc. Terminals’ operational costs are highly sensitive to their layout and design. In order to design efficient terminals, it will be essential to understand the current state of forest terminals. To this end, a survey wa…

Defining a convergence network platform framework for smart grid and intellig…

The challenges faced by electricity grids suggest smart grids will have to coordinate its operation with other important initiatives in areas such as transportation. The smart grid relies on the use of network platforms where meter readings and data can be transmitted. On the other hand, concerning transportation systems the need to achieve a reduction of road congestion and traffic accidents …
