An increase in the number of ships world merchant fleet, their tonnage and speed has significantly enhanced intensity navigation, accident rate. Despite fact that are equipped with latest integrated navigation power systems, improvement shore services quality crew training, rate port waters remains high. The main reason is “human factor”, which understudied. problems potential implementing mana...

we consider the problem of continuous dynamic berth allocation to containerships in a tidal seaport. in some container ports, low water depth in coastal area causes many restrictions on providing vessel's services. therefore, berth allocation planning for relatively large vessels with high draft is subject to tidal conditions when the vessels are in the access channel as from anchorage are...

Experimental results of radio path loss measured at 5.8 GHz in seaport are presented. Results show that within a range of more than 10km, the radio signal attenuates at a rate close to that of the free space and when higher base antenna is used, the attenuation rate approaches that of the free space more. Based on the measured data, a simple path loss model is developed. This study is helpful t...

To decrease fuel-based energy consumption, it is important to investigate the optimal management problem for seaport integrated system in a fully distributed manner. A multi-objective model constructed, considering greenhouse gas emission, and carbon trading, which satisfy sustainable development of international shipping industry advocated by International Maritime Organization (IMO). The exha...

The following work proposes a (max,+) optimization model for scheduling operations on an oil seaport considering flexible maintenance activities on valves. The work is based on previous results for the same case study, where fixed maintenance was studied in the framework of scheduling oil transfer operations through a pipeline network. The case study is a Venezuelan seaport for oil export and r...

Academics and practitioners advocate climate change resilience planning to guide seaport management, business continuity planning, capital improvements, so forth. Yet, questions of whether interventions influence seaports' cultures result in better prepared organizations remain underexplored. Through 10 cases U.S. this research explored the benefits challenges such efforts can enhance adaptive ...
