  • Revisiting Port Capacity: a Practical Method for Investment and Policy Decisions
    Revisiting Port Capacity: A practical method for Investment and Policy decisions Ioannis N. Lagoudis Head of R&D, XRTC Ltd, Business Consultants 95 Akti Miaouli Str., 18538, Piraeus, Greece & Adjunct Faculty, University of the Aegean – Department of Shipping trade and Transport 2A Korai Str., 82100, Chios, Greece and James B. Rice, Jr. Deputy Director, MIT – Center for Transportation and Logistics 1 Amherst Street, Second Floor,Cambridge, MA 02142 Abstract The paper revisits port capacity providing a more holistic approach via including immediate port connections from the seaside and the hinterland. The methodology provided adopts a systemic approach encapsulating the different port terminals along with the seaside and hinterland connections providing a holistic estimation of port capacity. Capacity is defined with the use of two dimensions; static and dynamic. Static capacity relates to land availability or in other words the available space for use. Dynamic capacity is determined by the available technology of equipment in combination to the skill of available labor. With the presentation of a case study from a container terminal the practical use of this methodology is illustrated. Based on the data provided by the terminal operator the results showed that there is still available space to be utilised at a static level and also room more improvement at a dynamic level. The benefits stemming from the above methodology are multidimensional with the key ones being the flexible framework adjusted to the needs of each port system for measuring capacity, the productivity estimation of the different business processes involved in the movement of goods and people and the evaluation of the financial performance of the different business units and the port as a whole.

The following are the FDOT Courtesy Review comments. We look forward to reviewing the final Master Plan in the future. The comments offered are suggested revisions and recommendations that are to be included before an adoption into the City of Fernandina Comprehensive Plan. Previously we provided the Master Plan Consultant comments related to grammar and wording in the document. These editorial comments are not included in this courtesy review letter as they are not substantive changes.

  • 2018 Update of Tables and Figures
    2018 Update of Tables and Figures August 2019 INTRODUCTION This document provides an update to the majority of data tables and figures provided in the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) 2015 Florida Seaport System Plan. The annual updating of seaport system plan data allows FDOT to: implement the plan using the latest industry metrics; provide analysis of long-term trends; and, provide a foundation for future five-year plan updates. The information collected for this update are the 2018 seaport metrics including the number of containers in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), cargo tonnages, total number of revenue cruise passengers, and several other items. The primary source of the data is the individual Florida Seaports and the Florida Seaport Five-Year Mission Plans. In addition, some of the data comes from official government sources. Maintaining this data on an annual basis will lay the foundation of information necessary for the 2020 Florida Seaport Plan to build upon. The purpose statement and vision of the 2015 plan are restated below. The updated Figures and Tables follow. It should be noted, not all tables and figures in the 2015 plan were updated as: some data sources are not updated annually; some source data has not been updated; or, the 2015 data is still up to date. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE This 2015 Florida Seaport System Plan was prepared in accordance with the statutory requirements of Section 311.14(1), Florida Statutes (F.S.). The development of this plan, along with other modal plans developed under the Freight, Logistics, and Passenger Operations (FLP) Office at the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), provides the Department with a cohesive planning process for all the modal offices.

Container ships have been plying the seas for a few decades and we are now seeing large container ships, capable of carrying 8,000 – 10,000 containers, with tiers of up to 8 high. Although this represents a tremendous economy of scale in the transporting of containers, we have seen a number of highly publicized incidents, involving the loss of large numbers of containers of containers overboard, during ocean transit. These incidents have resulted in additional damage to hundreds of other containers aboard the ship, as well as endangering the safety of the ship itself. Further, partially submerged containers pose a hazard to navigation to other vessels, particularly fishing vessels and small craft, as well as a potential environmental hazard. The first generation of container ships provided for carriage of containers on deck in tiers of only two high. The next generation allowed for carriage of containers on deck up to four tiers high.

Executive Summary Introduction Business Research and Economic Advisors (BREA) was engaged by the Canaveral Port Authority (CPA) to conduct an analysis of the economic contribution of Port Canaveral to the state of Florida during 2018. The objective of the study was to quantify employ- ment, wages, expenditures and taxes that were directly and indirectly related to the movement of cruise passengers and cargo through Port Canaveral, the operational activ- ity of tenants who conduct their business on property owned and maintained by CPA, and patrons of CPA parks, recreational facilities and attractions. The major findings of this analysis included: • Port Canaveral welcomed 2.1 million embarking, multi-day cruise passengers in 2018. This was the second-most passenger embarks from a U.S. cruise port and accounted for approximately 16% of total U.S. embarkations. Port Canav- eral also welcomed 355,000 port-of-call passengers and 273,000 single-day cruise passengers who boarded the Victory Casino ships that homeport at Port Canaveral.

  • Processing the Shuttle for Flight
    Processing When taking a road trip, it is important to plan ahead by making sure your vehicle is prepared for the journey. A typical road trip on Earth can be the Shuttle for routine and simple. The roadways are already properly paved, service Flight stations are available if vehicle repairs are needed, and food, lodging, and stores for other supplies can also be found. The same, however, could not be said for a Space Shuttle trip into space. The difficulties associated with Steven Sullivan space travel are complex compared with those we face when traveling here. Preparing the Shuttle for Flight Food, lodging, supplies, and repair equipment must be provided for within Ground Processing the space vehicle. Jennifer Hall Peter Nickolenko Vehicle preparation required a large amount of effort to restore the shuttle Jorge Rivera to nearly new condition each time it flew. Since it was a reusable vehicle Edith Stull Steven Sullivan with high technical performance requirements, processing involved a Space Operations Weather tremendous amount of “hands-on” labor; no simple tune-up here. Not only Francis Merceret was the shuttle’s exterior checked and repaired for its next flight, all Robert Scully components and systems within the vehicle were individually inspected and Terri Herst verified to be functioning correctly. This much detail work was necessary Steven Sullivan because a successful flight was dependent on proper vehicle assembly. Robert Youngquist During a launch attempt, decisions were made within milliseconds by equipment and systems that had to perform accurately the first time—there was no room for hesitation or error.
