Towards port infrastructure adaptation: a global port climate risk analysis

Risk Analysis of Port Facilities

During recent earthquakes, seaports have demonstrated that they can be highly vulnerable to seismic motion and associated ground failures. Poor seismic performance of seaports has resulted in billions of dollars of losses. Seaports are critical nodes in regional transportation networks and have an important impact on the economy of the area. Thus, the need for risk analysis of port facilities i...

Port Investment Towards an Integrated Planning of Port Capacity

Port-region linkages in a global perspective

The recent literature on ports and regional development mostly documents the weakening spatial fix of flows and the negative externalities of ports on their surrounding territories. Except for port impact studies that remain difficultly comparable across locations, such observations are mostly based on simplified measures of port activity, such as total port throughputs, and on developed countr...

Analysis of liquids and chemicals costs in a sample port

In recent years, the application of Activity-Based Costing in Port industry has been deeply researched in theory and practice, but researchers only concentrate on the bulk and general cargo’s ABC in loading and unloading operations and there is little about the liquids and chemicals’. Based on the liquids and chemicals’ handling process and the particularity of their cost accounting, the paper ...
