Slow steaming – a viable long-term option?
Background for slow steaming A combination of factors have led to the past two years becoming hugely challenging for certain sectors of the global merchant shipping industry. Th ese factors include: Th e downturn in the global economy, resulting in reduced transportation capacity demand Th e substantial global order book for new tonnage, a legacy from the boom years, resulting in record-high de...
متن کاملExamining the Differential Responses of Shippers and Motor Carriers to Travel Time Variability
Shippers and motor carriers are impacted by and react differently to travel time variability due to their positions within the supply chain and end goals. Through interviews and focus groups these differences have been further examined. Shippers, defined here as entities that send or receive goods, but do not provide the transportation themselves, are most often concerned with longer-term disru...
متن کاملSteaming on Convex Hulls
This is a sea story about using a simple classroom example to save a great deal of money, as well as to convince beginning Postgraduate Naval School operations research students—experienced, skeptical military officers—that mathematical analysis can yield immediate results. The application is planning a ship’s transit from one point to another in a fixed amount of time, given that the ship can ...
متن کاملHuman impacts on open ocean mercury concentrations
[1] We develop an empirically constrained multicompartment box model for mercury cycling in open ocean regions to investigate changes in concentrations resulting from anthropogenic perturbations of the global mercury cycle. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we explicitly consider the effects of variability in measured parameters on modeled seawater concentrations. Our simulations show that anthrop...
