Transportation has become an increasingly important part of the Canadian furniture industry supply chain. Even when different furniture companies ship to the same regions, the same cities and/or the same furniture retailers, coordination between two or more companies is rare. Recently, interest in collaborative transportation planning to support coordination has intensified as important potenti...

The standardised freight container was one of the most important innovations of the 20th Century. Containerised cargoes travel from their point of origin to their destination by ship, road and rail as part of a single journey, without unpacking. This simple concept is the key element in cheap, rapid transport by land and sea, and has led to a phenomenal growth in global trade. Likewise, contain...

Abstract This article tries to see if hydrogen can represent the future of marine transportation. presents all types and ways in which it be produced. Major ship-owners companies’ policy regarding use for ship propulsion is presented as well how P&I Clubs view problem. The conclusion arguments drawbacks this issue. In paper, author analyzes alternative a source energy maritime

The EC funded CyClaDes research project is designed to promote the increased impact of the human element in shipping across the design and operational lifecycle of ships. It addresses the design and operation of ships and ship systems. One of the CyClaDes’ tasks is to create a crew‐centered design case‐study examination of the information that is shared between the Bridge and En...

In this paper, consistently trained Artificial Neural Network controller for automatic ship berthing is discussed. Minimum time course changing manoeuvre is utilised to ensure such consistency and a new concept named ‘virtual window’ is introduced. Such consistent teaching data are then used to train two separate multi‐layered feed forward neural networks for com...

it is well known that, contaminant transportation is a major problem in coastal zones and has to be faced when coastal structures are being planned. sea pollution not only causes environmental damage, but also impacts quality and population of sea resources. oil is the most important pollutant, pollutants emanating from industries, ships, drilling and exploration in the seabed, ship sewage, tox...

Today, along with enhancement of social well-being andeconomic development, demand for transportation is growing increasingly.Many countries are seeking for providing transportation servicesat a reasonable price. Therefore, optimization of carrying goods on nationalor international roads is highly important in terms of costs andtransportation indicator, so that the goods are shipped at minimumc...

The shipping industry is the primary and most significant mode of international cargo transportation. ship must comply with strict rules regarding reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as a dominant transportation mode. Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) alternative fuel option for several companies. In essence, many studies recommend LNG transitional because its emission characteristics are cleaner...

Fast sea transportation of passengers must considered safety and comfort requirements. Due to waves, there are heaving and pitching motions. These motions originate sea-sickness and can have negative effects on the ship. By means of submerged actuators, vertical motions can be smoothed. This paper considers the real case of a fast ferry with a T-foil and flaps. This is a control problem that al...
