  • Downloaded, Is Consistently the Same and Their Facilities Are Accessible Only to the Types of Goods in Which They Manage (Roa Et Al, 2013)
    Running head: THE IMPACT OF VESSEL BUNCHING 1 The Impact of Vessel Bunching: Managing Roll-on-Roll-off Terminal Operations Jonathan E. Gurr California State University Maritime Academy THE IMPACT OF VESSEL BUNCHING 2 Abstract The operations at port terminals are under consent examination, consistently investigating the various operational challenges effecting efficiency and performance. In a study to identify the consequences of vessel bunching, vessels that arrive within a short amount of time between each vessel, this paper presents an approach to forecast Ro-Ro terminal capacity while referencing the various input factors: vessel arrival schedule, inbound cargo volume, and rail or truck out-gate volume. Using a quantitative analysis derived using actual historical data from a Ro-Ro terminal at the Port of Long Beach, California, the proposed approach applied an additional probability factor that vessel bunching would occur. The analysis highlights the effectiveness of using actual historical data when examining a Ro-Ro terminal’s capacity and how the resulting information could be communicated inclusively with all stakeholders involved in port operations as means of performance improvement. Keywords: vessel bunching, ro-ro, terminal, forecast, capacity, risk assessment THE IMPACT OF VESSEL BUNCHING 3 The Impact of Vessel Bunching Seaports remain the most common way to transfer goods from one form of transportation to another. Global ports are responsible for handling over 80 per cent of global merchandise trade in volume and more than two thirds of its value (UNCTAD, 2017). As key nodes in the supply chain, ports are under continual pressure to implement efficiency improvements and cost saving measures.

  • Structural Design of a Container Ship Approximately 3100 TEU According to the Concept of General Ship Design B-178
    Structural design of a container ship approximately 3100 TEU according to the concept of general ship design B-178 Wafaa Souadji Master Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the double degree: “Advanced Master in Naval Architecture” conferred by University of Liege "Master of Sciences in Applied Mechanics, specialization in Hydrodynamics, Energetics and Propulsion” conferred by Ecole Centrale de Nantes developed at West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin in the framework of the “EMSHIP” Erasmus Mundus Master Course in “Integrated Advanced Ship Design” Ref. 159652-1-2009-1-BE-ERA MUNDUS-EMMC Supervisor: Dr. Zbigniew Sekulski, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin Reviewer: Prof. Robert Bronsart, University of Rostock Szczecin, February 2012 Structural design of a container ship approximately 3100 TEU 3 according to the concept of general ship design B-178 ABSTRACT Structural design of a container ship approximately 3100 TEU according to the concept of general ship design B-178 By Wafaa Souadji The initial design stage is crucial for the ship design, including the ship structural design, as the decisions are here taken fundamental to reach design objectives by establishing basic ship characteristics. Consequently, errors which may appear have the largest impact on the final design. Two main aspects related to the design of structures are typically addressed in the initial design: analysis of strength and cost estimation. The design developed in the dissertation is based on the conceptual design of general containership B-178 built in the Stocznia Szczecińska Nowa, providing its main particulars, hull form as well as the general arrangement. The general objective of the thesis is to carry out the hull structural design based on the functional requirements of the containership.

  • Lighter Barges: an Alternative to Servicing Post- Panamax Vessels at the Port of Wilmington, NC
    Lighter Barges: An Alternative to Servicing Post- Panamax Vessels at the Port of Wilmington, NC Jonathan E. Bingham1, Kathryn R. Cyr1, Lawrence B. Cahoon2 1- Marine and Coastal Ocean Policy Program* UNC Wilmington, Wilmington, NC 28403 2- Dept. of Biology and Marine Biology UNC Wilmington, Wilmington, NC 28403; [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION The North Carolina State Ports Authority recently proposed a costly plan to deepen and widen the Port of Wilmington’s navigation channel in order to accommodate large post- Panamax vessels. This paper proposes that there is another, potentially more appealing and affordable alternative: shallow-draft lighter barges. Ports in areas like Hong Kong and the lower Mississippi River use variations of lighter barges to bring cargo to and from ships and ports. Wilmington’s unique location and navigational challenges make lighter barges a viable option that deserves consideration. American port facilities and channels have grown to accommodate Panamax sized vessels over the last century. The existing Panama Canal channels feature a depth of about 40 ft. The channel depth and the dimensions of the first two lock systems (106 ft. width) turned out to be the limiting factors for the Panamax vessel design and size. However, in June of 2016, the situation will change for U.S. harbors when the newly constructed Panama Canal expansion is completed. The project creates a new lane for ship traffic with larger locks than the original channels, allowing for wider ships with deeper drafts (Fig. 1). New construction is expected to double the canal’s current capacity of 300 million tons per year (Dervarics 2015).

  • Potential for Terrorist Nuclear Attack Using Oil Tankers
    Order Code RS21997 December 7, 2004 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Port and Maritime Security: Potential for Terrorist Nuclear Attack Using Oil Tankers Jonathan Medalia Specialist in National Defense Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary While much attention has been focused on threats to maritime security posed by cargo container ships, terrorists could also attempt to use oil tankers to stage an attack. If they were able to place an atomic bomb in a tanker and detonate it in a U.S. port, they would cause massive destruction and might halt crude oil shipments worldwide for some time. Detecting a bomb in a tanker would be difficult. Congress may consider various options to address this threat. This report will be updated as needed. Introduction The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, heightened interest in port and maritime security.1 Much of this interest has focused on cargo container ships because of concern that terrorists could use containers to transport weapons into the United States, yet only a small fraction of the millions of cargo containers entering the country each year is inspected. Some observers fear that a container-borne atomic bomb detonated in a U.S. port could wreak economic as well as physical havoc. Robert Bonner, the head of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has argued that such an attack would lead to a halt to container traffic worldwide for some time, bringing the world economy to its knees. Stephen Flynn, a retired Coast Guard commander and an expert on maritime security at the Council on Foreign Relations, holds a similar view.2 While container ships accounted for 30.5% of vessel calls to U.S.

Abstract This report examines the potential effects of short sea shipping (SSS) development on the Texas transportation system. The project region includes Texas, Mexico, and Central America. In the international arena, the most likely prospects are for containerized shipments using small container ships. In the domestic arena, the most likely prospects are for coastwise shipments using modified offshore service vessels or articulated tug/barges. Only three Texas ports handle containers consistently (Houston accounts for 95% of the total), and three more handle containers sporadically.
