A key issue in automated seaport container terminals is the assignment of transportation orders to automated guided vehicles (AGVs). For AGV dispatching two basic types of strategies can be applied, which differ by the length of the look-ahead period and the rescheduling strategy. The on-line dispatching strategy uses myopic dispatching rules, which have been adopted from flexible manufacturing...

The main goal of modeling and simulation in seaport clusters (and in general) is to research data and information related to behavior of the system based on research of the model, and not by direct insight into the system itself. During the next step of research, after the model is created, it is possible to perform experiments in order to gather more data regarding the existing or future state...

Logistics is a complex set of activities. Hesse and Rodrigue (2004) have developed a much quoted definition that includes a “wide set of activities dedicated to the transformation and circulation of goods, such as the material supply of production, the core distribution and transport function, wholesale and retail and also the provision of households with consumer goods as well as the related i...

On 4 August 2020, a strong explosion occurred near the Beirut seaport, Lebanon and killed more than 200 people damaged numerous buildings in vicinity. As Amonium Nitrate (AN) caused explosion, many studies claimed release of large amounts NO2 atmosphere may have resulted health hazard In order to reasonably evaluate significance released atmosphere, it is important investigate spatio-temporal d...

This study aims to identify and determine species diversity and richness of the Gastropods of intertidal zone of Bushehr seaport coastal field and assess ecological status of the area using Welch index. Sampling was carried out at 6 stations in Bushehr seaport in winter and summer seasons during 2013-2014. Sampling bed sediments was done three times in each station and Gastropod samples were co...

Liman seçimi denizcilik işletmelerinin yanı sıra, tedarik zincirlerinin performansı açısından son derece önemli kararlardan birisidir. Ancak liman alternatiflerinin değerlendirilebilmesi için her zaman net veri mevcut olmayabilir ve karar vericiler eksik bilgiler ile belirsizlik ortamında vermek zorunda kalabilir. Bu kapsamda çalışmada en uygun limanların seçilebilmesi belirsizlikleri dikkate a...
