In this paper, we are going to investigate the growth of the Iranian maritime transport with a focus mainly on the North - South transit Corridor, review of dry ports in order to support the Iranian container terminals at the south ports in order to increase the volume of container storages at the terminals. For the purpose of assessing the outcome of port operational management, the Balanced ...

Queuing models are introduced for estimating container dwell times at rail intermodal terminals and transit times through rail line-haul corridors. These models are statistically calibrated on industry data. The intent of these models is to estimate changes in container flow times stemming from changes in infrastructure, staffing levels at terminals, or import volumes passing through given infr...

Since the introduction of the maritime container in the mid 1950's, liner shipping groups have migrated from inefficient traditional cargo handling techniques to large cellular vessels which can be seen at any of the world's major ports today. The use of the container improved intermodal productivity and allows for shorter point to point transit times. In addition, cargo damage is reduced. On o...

In this work, a decision tool is developed for a liner shipping company to deploy its fleet considering vessel speeds and to find routes for cargos with transit time constraints simultaneously. This problem is referred as Service level Assignment and Container Routing Problem (SACRP) in the sequel. A Column Generation (CG) algorithm is implemented for the SACRP. Computational experiments are pe...

For decades, trade between Europe and China has grown consistently, which resulted in increased container transportation volumes. Such been dominated by sea-based options. However, over the years, an air-based mode of transport was developed, while it lately become increasingly popular to use railways utilizing Trans-Siberian land bridge. This latter approach boomed amid COVID-19 crisis 2020. r...

Low-frequency ocean ambient noise is dominated by noise from commercial ships, yet understanding how individual ships contribute deserves further investigation. This study develops and evaluates statistical models of container ship noise in relation to design characteristics, operational conditions, and oceanographic settings. Five-hundred ship passages and nineteen covariates were used to buil...

Container transport, an integral part of intercontinental trade, has steadily increased over the past few decades. The productivity of such a system, in part, hinges on the efficient allocation of terminal resources such that the container transit time is minimized. This study provides an analytical framework, which entails efficient scheduling of quay and yard cranes, to minimize the time spen...

Improving the quality of transportation services requires carriers to find better methods optimizing routes and work with containers when traveling from Ukraine EU countries. It has been established that container already occupies a significant share market tendency use it is only increasing. Ukraine, as transit state, great potential for development its own railway system. This article studies...
