Benthic invertebrates are a well-established target in environmental quality status evaluations. The AMBI (AZTI's Marine Biotic Index) was developed to determine the impacts and the quality status of soft-bottom marine benthic communities. The aim of this study was investigating multivariate pattern of benthic invertebrate community and application of AMBI (AZTI's Marine Biotic Index) for dete...

This paper attempts to construct an efficient evaluation for a shipping industry with financial indicators, because sometimes non-financial indicators are difficult to obtain and are doubtful or untrustworthy. So financial indicators are an important method to evaluate performance. A financial statement is audited by CPA and it is easy to gather, so we do not doubt its trustworthiness. The main...

Streaming movies over the Internet has become very popular in the recent years. It is giving a stiff competition to the alternative method of DVD being shipped to the customer, after an order is placed online. It is likely that in future, the online streaming method will displace the DVD shipping method. In this paper, we evaluate the environmental impact of such a paradigm shift in delivering ...

The shipping industry has been placing increasing emphasis on greening issues. Over the past decade, shipping researchers have devoted considerable research efforts to exploring diverse topics relevant to green shipping. The concept of green innovation (GI), however, has been largely ignored. As a result, our understanding of the conceptualization, measurement, and performance implications of G...

The Liner Shipping Fleet Repositioning Problem (LSFRP) poses a large financial burden on liner shipping firms. During repositioning, vessels are moved between services in a liner shipping network. The LSFRP is characterized by chains of interacting activities, many of which have costs that are a function of their duration; for example, sailing slowly between two ports is cheaper than sailing qu...

The shipping sector is a significant contributor to emissions of air pollutants in marine and coastal regions. In order to achieve sustainable shipping, primarily through new regulations and techniques, greater knowledge of dispersion and deposition of air pollutants is required. Regional model calculations of the dispersion and concentration of sulfur, nitrogen, and particulate matter, as well...
