Economic efficiency evaluation system of maritime container terminals

Truck Arrival Management At Maritime Container Terminals

In this work the management of truck arrivals in a maritime terminal is investigated as possible strategy to be used for obtaining a reduction in congestion and gate queues. In particular, a non-mandatory Truck Appointment System (TAS) is considered. Inspired by the work of Zehedner and Feillet 2013, we propose a multi-commodity network flow model for representing a maritime terminal. We solve ...

Automated Technologies in Maritime Container Terminals

The purpose of this article is to investigate the potentials of implementing an integrated Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) and Automated Guided Vehicle System (AGVS) in maritime container terminals. We first define the main components of the proposed configuration and justify the potential impacts of each and that of the integrated system. A 3D simulation (and animation) model is ...

Short-Term Load Forecasting Methods for Maritime Container Terminals

Procurement of electricity gains more and more focus in enterprises especially with the introduction of electric mobility. At a maritime container terminal the electricity consumption is highly related to the number of container movements of each day. Short-term load forecasting (STLF) methods have not yet been systematically researched when applied to container terminals. Therefore it seems re...

Cyber-risks in maritime container terminals: Analysis of threats and simulation of impacts Authors

Container Terminals (CTs) are the transportation nodes at which containerised freight is transhipped between ships and overland transport. CTs are a vital element of a country’s transportation infrastructure and in the UK they are classed as part of the country’s Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). This article explains the dependence of modern CTs on Information and Communications Technolo...
