Fontes Genre: Handbook Publisher: WILEY Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 233 Description: Maritime transportation requires large capital investments in ships, seaports and post-port transportation. A small percentage reduction in the expenses of a shipping operator or a seaport authority leads to millions of dollars savings that can be invested in further expansion. Expansion of maritime transportation capacity and world trade development depend on and support each other. Therefore, many planning and scheduling problems need to be addressed in order to use maritime transportation in a more efficient and more cost-effective manner. The recent growth of ships’ size has led to drastic reductions in maritime transportation costs. Nowadays, the largest containerships can carry up to 21,000 TEUs. For such a ship, 9,000 handling moves are expected for a 24-hour cycle time, or 375 handling moves per hour. This is more than twice the current productivity in the major container terminals in the world. Such a doubling of productivity will require dramatic innovation in the handling systems and operational methods. New technologies in the seaports allow the operators to pursue loading and unloading tasks for the ships, simultaneously. Furthermore, the new handling equipment in seaports is capable of handling two or more containers at the same time. However, further technology and equipment innovation is not expected to provide a much higher productivity for the seaports. Thus, innovative planning and scheduling methods are critical for the successful performance of seaports. To add to this, higher environmental concerns by governments and societies all around the world, as well as increasing fuel prices, pressure the ship owners and operators into quicker turnarounds, and more efficient travel. Evidently, all parties involved in maritime transportation are forced (and enthusiastic) to optimize the operations that deal with maritime transportation. This book is dedicated to the major optimization problems related to maritime operations both at sea and in ports. However, problems regarding the transportation from the ports to the final customer are beyond the scope of this book. Most of them are known to be NP-hard problems, and thus a considerable part of the studies addressing them focus on developing (meta)heuristic algorithms.

Description: Maritime transportation requires large capital investments in ships,
seaports and post-port transportation. A small percentage reduction in the
expenses of a shipping operator or a seaport authority leads to millions of
dollars savings that can be invested in further expansion. Expansion of
maritime transportation capacity and world trade development depend on
and support each other. Therefore, many planning and scheduling problems
need to be addressed in order to use maritime transportation in a more
efficient and more cost-effective manner. The recent growth of ships’ size
has led to drastic reductions in maritime transportation costs. Nowadays, the
largest containerships can carry up to 21,000 TEUs. For such a ship, 9,000
handling moves are expected for a 24-hour cycle time, or 375 handling
moves per hour. This is more than twice the current productivity in the major
container terminals in the world. Such a doubling of productivity will require
dramatic innovation in the handling systems and operational methods.
New technologies in the seaports allow the operators to pursue loading
and unloading tasks for the ships, simultaneously. Furthermore, the new
handling equipment in seaports is capable of handling two or more
containers at the same time. However, further technology and equipment
innovation is not expected to provide a much higher productivity for the
seaports. Thus, innovative planning and scheduling methods are critical for
the successful performance of seaports. To add to this, higher environmental
concerns by governments and societies all around the world, as well as
increasing fuel prices, pressure the ship owners and operators into quicker
turnarounds, and more efficient travel. Evidently, all parties involved in
maritime transportation are forced (and enthusiastic) to optimize the
operations that deal with maritime transportation.
