Download or read book Performance Comparison of Crane Double Cycling Strategies written by Anne Victoria Goodchild and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report compares the performance of three double-cycling algorithms used to determine the sequence with which to load and unload containers from a vessel with a quay crane. Double cycling is a technique which can improve the efficiency of a quay crane and container port by unloading and loading containers in the same crane cycle. The three algorithms, the greedy strategy, the proximal strategy, and Johnson's rule, are introduced and results from applying the three strategies to a set of simulated vessels are compared. While Johnson's rule provides the minimum number of cycles required to unload and load a vessel using double cycling, it is operationally less convenient. The proximal strategy is operationally convenient, but provides a smaller benefit when compared to single cycling. All strategies provide significant benefit (about a 40% reduction over single cycling for hatchless ships), and the results are not particularly sensitive to the algorithm used.

Download or read book Reducing Ship Turn-around Time Using Double-cycling written by Anne Victoria Goodchild and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Double cycling improves efficiency by unloading and loading a ship simultaneously; using wasted crane moves to transport containers. This paper demonstrates that double cycling can reduce ship turn-around time through this efficiency improvement. The paper describes the nature of the double cycling problem and, for a given loading-plan, quantifies the benefits using a greedy algorithm. The relationship between the benefits of double cycling, and the problem parameters is analyzed using simple formulas and a simulation program. This paper demonstrates that double cycling can create significant efficiency gains, and should benefit any party interested in improving port operations, and reducing the cost of container shipping.

Download or read book Research on Marine Terminal Logistics written by Dusan Ku and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine terminals are the gateways in global distribution networks and play a vital role in completing the global supply chains. With the rapidly growing level of service requirement that shipping lines make of terminal operators, the efficiency of terminal operation is becoming a matter of business survival. Thus, a substantial amount of investment has been made in port developments, in both facilities and IT infrastructure especially over the last two decades. Pursuant to this inevitable trend in industry, we also observe that a rich body of research has emerged in the academia for the study of optimisation in marine terminal operations. This thesis focuses selectively, among other optimisation problems in marine container terminals, on the seaside planning and optimisation problems. As a viable and economic option to improve vessel productivity, which is regarded as the most critical key performance indicator in marine terminal operations, the crane double cycling strategy has received substantial interests from both academia and industry. However, the practical operation strategy for implementing such concept has been limited to a bare minimum partially due to a lack of practical research or practitioners' fear for a change against the status quo. This is where the motivation for this research has arisen. This research is comprised of three original papers. Paper I provides a comprehensive review of the literature on the quay crane (QC) schedule problem and fills the gap in the literature by providing an exact model for preemptive schedules of bay-wise vessel operation. Paper II provides a comprehensive review on the research of crane double cycling problem and identifies that the next challenge in this research is in the formulation of the multi-quay crane double cycling problem. Thus, it presents the motivations and discussions on future research directions with a focus on practical constraints. Finally, Paper III presents the multi-QC double cycling model that this research is aimed at developing. As a computational study, the models presented in this research are based on computational and optimisation theory. Methodology section in the introductory chapter addresses the relevant theory and implementation perspective applied to each model: In Paper I, the QC scheduling problem is formulated into a mixed integer programming. Due to its - completeness, a relaxed formulation with Lagrangian relaxation is also presented. In Paper III, the multi-QC double cycling problem is formulated into an integer programming. Also due to its -completeness, a meta-heuristic approach is presented to cope with the computational intractability. Computational results are shown for analysis with discussions on the future research paths.

Download or read book Handbook of Ocean Container Transport Logistics written by Chung-Yee Lee and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-13 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is focused on the impact of ocean transport logistics on global supply chains. It is the first book solely dedicated to the topic, linking the interaction of parties along this chain, including shippers, terminal operators and line carriers. While ocean container transport logistics has been greatly studied, there are many important issues that have yet to receive the attention they deserve. The editors and contributing authors of Ocean Container Transport Logistics: Making Global Supply Chain Effective seek to address these topics and shed new light on the subject. The book is divided into three parts. Part I examines the innovation, trends, competition and business model of container terminal operations. In Part II, the book looks at how tactical and operational management is used in shipping liners. The chapters cover topics such as empty container repositioning, slow steaming, routing, network design and disruption management. Finally Part III explores at shippers and global supply chain management, with chapters on transportation service procurement, hinterland transportation, green corridors, as well as competition and co-operation in maritime logistics operations. The eighteen chapters of the book all highlight the immediate effect of ocean transport logistics on global supply chain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containerization provides optimization of handling processes in terms of intermodality and efficient cargo handling, and maritime transport, in particular, it provides further optimization of shipping processes in terms of volume and distance. Containerization has become the most significant factor stimulating the development of modern global trade. With the progress of globalization taken into account (longer distances and increasing cargo volumes), it can be seen that cargo becomes predestined to be transported by sea, which encourages ship owners to enlarge their fleets of container ships. Containerization in Maritime Transport: Contemporary Trends and Challenges addresses the key challenges to maritime transport and containerization, beginning with economic and managerial factors, through organizational, technical, operational, information and IT challenges, and ending with ecological challenges—ideally to lessen the environmental impacts of maritime transport. Features: Discusses the latest technological advances in shipping, including augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), 5G networks, smart camera and computer vision systems, and digital twin technology. Presents ecological considerations and solutions that are indispensable to develop efficient and safe green supply chains. Examines the economic aspects of shipping with regard to transport and container handling costs in international trade.

Download or read book Handbook of Terminal Planning written by Jürgen W. Böse and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-26 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Container Terminals (CT) operate as central nodes in worldwide hub-and-spoke networks and link ocean-going vessels with smaller feeder vessels as well as with inbound and outbound hinterland transportation systems using road, rail, or inland waterways. The volume of transcontinental container flows has gained appreciably over the last five decades -- throughput figures of CT reached new records, frequently with double-digit annual growth rates. Stimulated by throughput requirements and stronger competition between terminals settled in the same region or serving a similar hinterland, respectively, cost efficiency and throughput capabilities become more and more important. Nowadays, both terminal capacity and costs have to be regarded as key indicators for CT competitiveness. In respect of this steady growth, this handbook focuses on planning activities being aimed at “order of magnitude improvements” in terminal performance and economic viability. On the one hand the book is intended to provide readership with technological and organizational CT basics for strategic planning. On the other hand this book offers methodical assistance for fundamental dimensioning of CT in terms of 'technique', 'organization' or 'man'. The former primarily considers comprehensive information about container handling technologies representing the state of the art for present terminal operations, while the latter refers to methodological support comprising in particular quantitative solutions and modeling techniques for strategic terminal decisions as well as straightforward design guidelines. The handbook includes an introductory contribution which gives an overview of strategic planning problems at CT and introduces the contributions of the volume with regard to their relationship in this field. Moreover, each paper contains a section or paragraph that describes the impact of findings investigated by the author(s) for problem-solving in long-term planning of CT (as an application domain). The handbook intends to provide solutions and insights that are valuable for both practitioners in industry who need effective planning approaches to overcome problems and weaknesses in terminal design/development and researchers who would like to inform themselves about the state of the art in methodology of strategic terminal planning or be inspired by new ideas. That is to say, the handbook is addressed to terminal planners in practice as well as to students of maritime courses of study and (application oriented) researchers in the maritime field.

Download or read book Green Transportation Logistics written by Harilaos N. Psaraftis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the state of the art in green transportation logistics from the perspective of balancing environmental performance in the transportation supply chain while also satisfying traditional economic performance criteria. Part of the book is drawn from the recently completed European Union project Super Green, a three-year project intended to promote the development of European freight corridors in an environmentally friendly manner. Additional chapters cover both the methodological base and the application context of green transportation logistics. Individual chapters look at the policy context; the basics of transportation emissions; Green Corridors basics; the concept of TEN-T (Trans-European Network); Benchmarking of green corridors; the potential role of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies); Green vehicle routing; Reducing maritime CO2 emissions via market based measures and speed and route optimization; Sulphur emissions; Lifecycle emissions; Green rail transportation; Green air transportation; Green inland navigation and possible areas for further research. Throughout, the book pursues the goal of “win-win” solutions and analyzes the phenomenon of “push-down, pop-up”, wherein a change in one aspect of a problem can cause another troubling aspect to arise. For example, speed reduction in maritime transportation can reduce emissions and fuel costs, but could require additional ships and could raise in-transit inventory costs. Or, regulations to reduce sulphur emissions may ultimately increase CO2 elsewhere in the supply chain. The book takes stock at the various tradeoffs that are at stake in the goal of greening the supply chain and looks at where balances can be struck.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an increasingly globalised world, despite reductions in costs and time, transportation has become even more important as a facilitator of economic and human interaction; this is reflected in technical advances in transportation systems, increasing interest in how transportation interacts with society and the need to provide novel approaches to understanding its impacts. This has become particularly acute with the impact that Covid-19 has had on transportation across the world, at local, national and international levels. Encyclopedia of Transportation, Seven Volume Set - containing almost 600 articles - brings a cross-cutting and integrated approach to all aspects of transportation from a variety of interdisciplinary fields including engineering, operations research, economics, geography and sociology in order to understand the changes taking place. Emphasising the interaction between these different aspects of research, it offers new solutions to modern-day problems related to transportation. Each of its nine sections is based around familiar themes, but brings together the views of experts from different disciplinary perspectives. Each section is edited by a subject expert who has commissioned articles from a range of authors representing different disciplines, different parts of the world and different social perspectives. The nine sections are structured around the following themes: Transport Modes; Freight Transport and Logistics; Transport Safety and Security; Transport Economics; Traffic Management; Transport Modelling and Data Management; Transport Policy and Planning; Transport Psychology; Sustainability and Health Issues in Transportation. Some articles provide a technical introduction to a topic whilst others provide a bridge between topics or a more future-oriented view of new research areas or challenges. The end result is a reference work that offers researchers and practitioners new approaches, new ways of thinking and novel solutions to problems. All-encompassing and expertly authored, this outstanding reference work will be essential reading for all students and researchers interested in transportation and its global impact in what is a very uncertain world.
