The main purpose of this study is to estimate the maritime transportation elasticities of the environmental pollution and economic growth in Iran within the short-run and long-run to find out the relationships among maritime transportation, environmental pollution and economic growth. The lagged endogenous model (a dynamic log-linear model that we used) is estimated using two distinctive ...

Vehicle routing problems are an essential element in transportation planning and logistics. In particular, maritime transportation plays a crucial role in international trade, managing most of long-distance shipments. Static and deterministic vehicle routing problems have been extensively studied in the literature and metaheuristics have shown to be capable of providing near optimal solutions f...

Maritime transportation is the most efficient and cost-effective mode of transport. With the appropriate use of advanced technology, the efficiency of the industry can be improved even further. Information systems for the maritime industry have been generally ignored by the IS community. Consequently, we introduce “Maritime Informatics” as a new stream to introduce IS scholars to the many resea...

Maritime transportation systems are essential for world trade; it is crucial to understand how these systems may fail, to be able to maintain their capacity. In this paper, the maritime transportation system is seen as a throughput mechanism; a technical system which serves its purpose by moving goods for its dependents. Understanding which key functions and capabilities are prerequisite for th...

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of maritime transportation instability on international trade instability based on wavelet smoothing and spatial panel data econometric method during the period 1990-2012. The results showed that the spatial effects have an impact on international trade instability. So that a sudden 100 percent increase in international trade in the nei...

INTRODUCTION Prehospital maritime transportation in northern areas sets high demands on hypothermia prevention. To prevent body cooling and hypothermia of seriously-ill or injured casualties during transportation, casualty coverings must provide adequate thermal insulation and protection against cold, wind, moisture, and water splashes. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the the...

the first international convention on maritime transportation is thebrussels’ convention of 1924. this convention was widely acceptedthroughout the world and; thus, lasted for a long time due to the widespreadsupport of the countries possessing fleet for this convention and the lack ofexistence of a legal document in terms of maritime transportation. thepassage of time together with innovations...

This paper aims to present a model to analyze the systemic effects arising from the collaboration policies among the manufacturing industries, which use the maritime transportation to execute the exportation. It was researched about the Collaborative Logistics era and the Collaborative Transportation Management and, in order to validate the study proposal and to obtain data to insert in the mod...
