Mathematical Models of Seaside Operations in Container Ports and their Solution
… practical problems. Many such problems arise in container ports. Container terminals are important assets in modern economies. They constitute an important means of distributing goods made overseas to domestic markets in most countries. They are expensive to build and difficult to operate. We …

Seaport Vulnerability to Criminal Networks: A Mixed Method Approach to Measuring Criminological Vulnerability in the Top 30 U.S. Container Ports
<p>Seaports form a unique space for criminological examination. As the locus points for the majority of international and domestic trade criminal network access to a port can provide outsized benefits. While ports are physical spaces they are underlined by complex systems incorporating public and …

Game theoretical offshore container port competition
Container ports are indispensable parts of the container transport operations. In terms of container transport operations even better port services are desired to provide viability of reliable liner shipping service. Therefore, port competition to supply better port services is one of the natural …

Port competitiveness in North East Asia : an integrated fuzzy approach to expert evaluations
… had four of the top five and 20 of the top 30 container ports in the world in 2003, can be regarded as holding a central position in liner shipping and the handling of container cargo volumes, very little research has been done into the evaluation of its port competitiveness (EPC). For this …

Economic feasibility of shipping containers through the Arctic
… information pertaining to Arctic conditions, containerships and icebreakers, and container ports was collected and used to build a model that estimates the expense and time of port-to-port voyages through the Arctic. Different combinations of vessels, routes, and speeds through the Arctic were …

Efficiency Analysis of Operational Performance of Container Terminals of Sea Port, the Case of Dar es salaam Port
The growth of containerization in international trade, has created many problems for ports, i.e. higher requirements on terminals and infrastructure. Many container terminals are reaching their capacity limits and increasingly leading to traffic and port terminals congestion. With this in mind, the …

The role of UK container trade flow forecasts in the maritime industry
Containerized cargo growth has underpinned recent seaborne container trade. However published techniques for developing forecasts of containerized throughput at seaports, which are often quantitative, are rarely understood or deployed by practitioners. To fill this research gap, this research aimed …

The Plant Propagation Algorithm for Discrete Optimisation
… problem of Berth Allocation as arises in container ports or BAP. Because PPA is a population-based search heuristic, we devote a chapter to the important issue of generating good and yet computationally relatively light initial populations of solutions to kick start the search process. In …

Inter-Port Competition and Inland Container Transport: A multiple Criteria Decision-Making Approach to Achieve Intermodal Transport System Development Stratergies in Taiwan.
Inland container transport has intensified over the past thirty years in Taiwan. It is closely related to inter-port competition and port selection by container carriers. In the 1980's, large containerships only berthed at Kaohsiung port due to the limit of container terminal operation capacities …

MEASUREMENT, MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF CONTAINER PORT PERFORMANCE
This thesis aims to develop a new framework of container port/terminal performance measurement, modelling and analysis. There is a need for a new performance measurement framework not only to meet the need of port stakeholders, but also to develop diagnostic tools capable of supporting …
