Short Sea Shipping and Innovations for lntermodal Container Logistics in Northeast Asia

Innovations in Logistics and Barge Carrier Vessel Design for Coastal and Inland Waterway Shipping

The Yellow Sea region is becoming an engine of economic growth for Northeast Asia. Its growth and prosperity will depend upon how well it is able to focus on improving the efficiencies of its intermodal transportation system, infrastructure, its connection to other economies and how the system relates to logistics and supply-chain management. The region is moving towards becoming a major world ...

Optimization in container liner shipping

We will gives an overview of several decision problem encountered in liner shipping. We will cover problems on the strategic, tactical and operational planning levels as well as problems that can be considered at two planning levels simultaneously. Furthermore, we will shortly discuss some related problems in terminals, geographical bottlenecks for container ships and provide an overview of ope...

A Strategic Empty Container Logistics Optimization in a Major Shipping Company

Improving Packing Efficiency for Shipping Container

This present paper focused on the efficiency improvement on the container packing. The modified genetic algorithm (MGA) was developed to find the solution of arranging heterogeneous boxes into containers with a standardised dimension. The proposed MGA included an elitist strategy and flexible arranging sequence (FAS). Five instant datasets were used in the computational experiments aiming to be...

Short Sea Shipping route and stowage plan optimization

Short Sea Shipping is the name given to the use of ships to transport cargo within a country, or between neighboring countries. The European Union considers all intra-European sea transport as Short Sea Shipping, and has defined its efficient use as a strategic goal. This form of transport has many recognized advantages over rail and road, but suffers from lack of flexibility. In this paper we ...
