This research resulted Result of economic analysis using payback period shows the development of Gilimas Port need 7 years and 7 moths in optimistic scenario, 8 years and 7 moths for moderate and 9 years for pessimistic scenario. Result of economic analysis by using interest rate return (IRR) shows that for Gilimas port the value of IRR is bigger than the interest, so whether optimistic, m…
The aim of this paper is to develop realistic and relevant investment planning models for inland container transportation systems. The models may be utilized to identify the most eOEective investment plan for inland transportation infrastructure development and to evaluate the inland container transportation system. The procedure enables determination of the optimal locations, sizes and time of…
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…
This chapter reviews and analyses the contemporary development of liner shipping, port development and competition. It begins with a comprehensive review on the latest developmental trends of liner shipping and business strategies, as well as their impacts on port development and competition. Then, it discusses the responses of ports, past, present and (likely) future, in addressing these new d…

This conference has served in the past as an important and internationally recognised platform to disseminate the latest research results in the field of Maritime and Port Technology and Development with strong contributions in the field of efficiency and reliability o…
Since the UNCTAD three generation port development model was proposed in 1990, changes in technology, working practices and the commercial environment have led to tighter and more sophisticated linkages between service providers, facilitators, operators and end customers. This was explored in more detail in the WORKPORT model which highlighted the way in which ports and the services they provid…

In this paperwe argue that much of the literature on port governance takes the embeddedness of the port authority in the public sector as a given, whereas we argue that port development is intrinsically commercial and it is thus appropriate to regard a port authority as a port development company. In line with this, we provide a critique of the term ‘port authority’. Next, we describe the c…
The development of new ports in China and the enhancement of port facilities in Korea will force major Japanese ports, which were the region’s hub ports until the 1980s, to become local feeder ports for entry into East Asia. To consider the integration of cargo flow and liner networks, such Japanese ports need to collaborate with each other rather than compete with neighboring ports on an ind…
The article analyses the changes of cargo flow structures, the distribution by overseas regions and their potential impact on port development. The analysis on how the cargo type and transit regions influence on the vessel capacity has been carried out. A view on the general range of ship size employed on the Baltic is given. The potential of the Klaipeda seaport is approached in respect of cer…
