  • Port of Zeebrugge Is Located in the World’S Most Densely Populated Consumer Area So Your Importing And/Or Exporting Partner Is Never Far Away
    DEDICATED FOOD PORT THE F OOD SECTOR Infrastructure Food cargo travels in many ways: in containers or RORO freight loads, in bulk or reefer ships. That’s why multiple installations for the reception, handling and storage of perishables are found in the port area.

  • Building a Decision Support System
    PIANC-World Congress Panama City, Panama 2018 BUILDING A DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR THE TERNEUZEN LOCKS : COMBINING OPTIMAL MANAGEMENT FOR WATER AND SHIPPING by Chantal Martens 1, Gert-Jan Liek 2, Dré Maes 3, Herman Haas 2, Maarten Deschamps 1, Leen Dekker 2, Harry van ‘ t Westeinde 2, Mario Vermeirssen 2, Harm Verbeek 2, Kees Storm 2 ABSTRACT The Terneuzen lock Complex in the Dutch city of Terneuzen gives access to the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal and thus to the port of Ghent (Belgium) from the Western Scheldt. Currently, the construction of a new lock is being prepared, which is expected to be operational in 2022. In the context of the licensing process for the new lock, how to deal with the available (fresh)water in the most optimal way was examined. The quality values for water (mostly focusing on salt intrusion) must be met, together with the shipping requests and taking into account the daily water management issues of the Canal. Following the conclusions of an expert group, set up to optimize the use of the lock complex, the decision has been made to prepare for a Decision Support System for the Ghent- Terneuzen Canal, in a joint Flemish-Dutch collaboration. This DSS will provide the planners and operators with streamlined and uniform information and support them in the economic and ecologic optimisation of the daily operations of the lock complex. The paper gives an overview of the background and the preparation phase of the DSS. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Ghent-Terneuzen Canal and the Terneuzen Locks The Ghent-Terneuzen Canal is situated on Belgian and Dutch territory and was constructed between 1823 and 1825.

  • From Planning the Port/City to Planning the Port-City Exploring the Economic Interface in European Port Cities Van Den Berghe, Karel*1 & Daamen, Tom*
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography From Planning the Port/City to Planning the Port-City Exploring the Economic Interface in European Port Cities Van den Berghe, Karel*1 & Daamen, Tom* *Delft University of Technology, Department of Management in the Built Environment, Julianalaan 134 2628BL Delft, The Netherlands In last three decades, planning agencies of most ports have institutionally evolved into a (semi-) independent port authority. The rationale behind this process is that port authorities are able to react more quickly to changing logistical and spatial preferences of maritime firms, hence increasing the competitiveness of ports. Although these dedicated port authorities have proven to be largely successful, new economic, social, and environmental challenges are quickly catching up on these port governance models, and particularly leads to (spatial) policy ‘conflicts’ between port and city. This chapter starts by assessing this conflict and argue that the conflict is partly a result of dominant— often also academic—spatial representations of the port city as two separate entities. To escape this divisive conception of contemporary port cities, this chapter presents a relational visualisation method that is able to analyse the economic interface between port and city. Based on our results, we reflect back on our proposition and argue that the core challenge today for researchers and policy makers is acknowledging the bias of port/city, being arguably a self-fulfilling prophecy. Hence, we turn the idea of (planning the) port/city conflicts into planning the port-city’s strengths and weaknesses.

  • Relationships Between Container Terminals and Dry Ports

Supervisor: Leif-Magnus Jensen Jönköping May 14, 2012 INTENTIONALLY BLANK i Acknowledgement _________________________________________________________________________ I would like to thank my supervisor Professor Leif-Magnus Jensen for his support and guidelines. I also want to thank Per Skoglund for his advice and interesting thoughts. Additionally, I want to express my appreciation and gratefulness to all the respondents from the container terminal and dry port industries. Special thanks to the interviewees and respondents of Gothenburg and Jönköping area for their time and valuable contribution to this study. May 2012, Jönköping Robert Castrillón D. ii INTENTIONALLY BLANK iii Master Thesis in Business Administration - ILSCM Programme Title: Relationships between Maritime Container Terminals and Dry Ports and their impact on Inter-port competition Author: Robert Castrillón Dussán Tutor: Assistant Professor Leif-Magnus Jensen Date: 2012-05-14 Subject terms: Container terminals, dry ports, relationship assessment, customer /supplier interaction, inter-port competition, inland integration of port services _________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Globalization of the world’s economy, containerization, intermodalism and specialization have reshaped transport systems and the industries that are considered crucial for the international distribution of goods such as the port industry. Simultaneously, economies of location, economies of scope, economies of scale, optimization of production factors, and clustering of industries have triggered port regionalization and inland integration of port services especially those provided by container terminals. In this integration dry ports have emerged as a vital intermodal platform for the effective and efficient distribution of containerized cargo.

  • 3.1 Hard Coastal Defense
    Ecolas Marine Biology ANALYSIS Chapter 2: Infrastructure in the BPNS GAUFRE: Towards a spatial structure plan for the Belgian part of the North Sea Coastal defense Figure I.2.3b: Illustrative picture of the different beach zones. 3.1 HARD COASTAL DEFENSE ECOLAS Environmental Consultancy & Assistance Bart De Wachter & Annemie Volckaert 3.1.1 Description Along the Belgian coast no natural hard substrates (rocky shores) are found. In the framework of coastal defense several artificial hard substrates have been built. Their most important function is the protection of the hinterland (dikes, groynes), the harbour (piers, moles) or the safeguarding of the shipping (buoys). Furthermore they form a substrate on which specific rocky shore communities can settle. Along the Belgian coast four main types of hard substrates can be distinguished: groynes, dikes, moles and piers. Groynes, dikes and piers are directly exposed to waves, while moles (except the breakwaters of Zeebrugge) are found within the shelter of the harbour. In contrast to dikes that are orientated practically parallel with the wave activity, groynes are placed perpendicular to the waves. Besides, groynes are on base of their morphology differentiated in a rock-fill on the seaward side, a groyne top and two flanks, all subjected to a different hydrodynamic activity. Piers ‘escort’ all a harbour gully and consist of a complex construction of differently orientated balk- or pole-structures. These structures are made of wood or concrete. A further division within the different types can be made on the basis of the following characteristics: • The degree of exposure in relation to the waves.
