In shipping port sector containers are the most dynamic and complex to manage. To provide adequate strategy for the increasing traffic, ports must either expand facilities or improve efficiency of operations. In investigating ways in which ports can improve efficiency, this paper outlines a container terminal simulation model and gives components architecture that are implemented with Java. The...

The World Health Organisation has recently acknowledged that contrary to the trend for other environmental stressors, noise exposure is increasing in Europe. However, little research has been conducted on environmental noise exposure to handling activity at shipping ports. This paper reports on research examining the extent of noise exposure for residents within the vicinity of Dublin Port, Ire...

In late 2010, Barbados Port Inc. (BPI) selected the Sugar Point team, a joint venture of SMI Infrastructure Solutions and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (RCCL), to undertake a Front End Engineering Design (FEED) study for a new cruise ship terminal adjacent to the existing Port of Bridgetown. The proposed new facility has been designed to accommodate the largest cruise ships in the world (RCCL’s ...

Synchromodality is a freight transport process in which information exchanged expeditiously order to maximize the benefits of different modes and nodes terms efficiency environmental impact. The aim study analyze problems synchronized intermodal traffic management between main port inland European corridors find reliable solutions these problems. Therefore, purpose this article investigate prob...

This article introduces a formal evaluation methodology for IT investments specifically designed to cope with the needs of port industry. Port industry is a service-oriented industry and, as such, is characterised by the intangible nature of benefits. The goal of this paper is to develop a methodology for the evaluation of container terminal related electronic services that incorporates both st...

This paper focuses on the operational and strategic planning decisions related to the quayside of container terminals. We introduce an integrated operational research (OR) and system dynamics (SD) approach to solve the Berth Allocation Problem (BAP) and the Quay Crane Assignment Problem (QCAP). A BAPQCAP optimization modeling approach which considers practical aspects not studied before in the ...

This paper proposes a novel multi-function isolated three-port bidirectional DC–DC converter for stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system. The proposed topology was composed of unidirectional step-up and step-up/step-down that only required one set complementary PWM signals to control any operation mode used multiple operating stages improve the practicability converter. In addition, had function i...

In this research, the authors aimed to investigate factors affecting competitiveness of container seaports and apply research results case study Port Rijeka. The previous related on topic Rijeka is valuable, however, seaport were not elaborated in detail, which also represents a gap. As first step, identified influencing seaports, using literature review method. Further, conducted Rijeka, follo...

Abstract This paper bridges port governance and stakeholder theory to contribute new understandings of changed relations due the building container terminals. The case newly inaugurated very large high-tech terminal commissioned developed operated by Meridian Port Services (MPS), in Tema, Ghana, provides empirical foundation for investigating engagement. Through focus groups, descriptive statis...

Indonesia merupakan negara kepulauan yang pembanguanan pelabuhan salah satu cara untuk mendukung pertumbuhan ekonomi di wilayah Indonesia. Selain itu berfungsi sebagai infrastruktur konektivitas logistik dapat menunjang arus pergerakan barang. Syarat melakukan kegiatan kepelabuhanan dengan konsesi telah diatur Undang-Undang. Menurut Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan (BPK) saat ini kinerja pengelolaan be...
