Port Pricing Structures and Ship Efficiency
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper discusses port pricing structures that enhance ship efficiency. Traditionally, ports use public infrastructure pricing, which does not take differences in waiting cost into considerations. We present two alternatives, a two part priority pricing scheme and port slot auctions, as alternative scheduling and pricing schemes that enhance ship efficiency.

Environmental cost and eco-efficiency from vessel emissions in Las Palmas Port
This study presents external costs and eco-efficiency parameters associated to exhaust emissions in Las Palmas Port. Emission assessment is based on a vessel emissions inventory obtained from the full bottom-up Ship Traffic Emission Assessment Model and messages transmitted by the Automatic Identification System over 2011. External costs are estimated based on a top-down approach. Results are c...
متن کاملImplementing the most efficient sensor placement methods on the ship structural model
The damage and failure in engineering structures, especially offshore structures, and hull of ship structures, causes economic losses, human disasters, and environmental problems. Therefore, diagnosing and predicting the occurrence of failure in these structures is vital. In this situation, engineers have introduced the use of structural health monitoring operations as a suitable way to prevent...
متن کاملModeling Ship Arrivals in Ports
Ports provide jetty facilities for ships to load and unload their cargo. Since ship delays are costly, terminal operators attempt to minimize their number and duration. Here, simulation has proved to be a very suitable tool. However, in port simulation models, the impact of the arrival process of ships on the model outcomes tends to be underestimated. This article considers three arrival proces...
متن کاملShip Energy Ef fi ciency Management Requires a Total Solution Approach
Ship and fleet operating efficiencies are multifaceted and interdependent. As such, efficiency management must involve an integrated solution that extends across the entire operation of the fleet. No single metric can be used to indicate success or failure of improving overall efficiency. Rather, a comparative analysis of multiple metrics is required. Furthermore, to be viable, efficiency manag...
متن کاملAn Effective Ship Berthing Algorithm
Singapore has one of the busiest ports in the world. Ship berthing is one of the problems faced by the planners at the port. In this paper , we study the ship berthing problem. We first provide the problem formulation and study the complexity of the problem with different restrictions. In general, the ship berthing problem is NP-complete, although, some of its variants may be solved quickly. Wh...
