Methodology for ro-ro ship and fleet sizing with application to short sea shipping

A novel methodology is developed for determining the characteristics of a cargo roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) ship and the fleet size required for a given short sea shipping route. The ship and required fleet size to satisfy the transportation demand (for each pair of speed and freight rate) are determined using a database of existing cargo ro-ro ships to obtain the main technical characteristics of the most suitable ship. The time charter, voyage costs and revenue are then calculated considering the technical characteristics of each ship. Fuel costs are corrected for the actual ship speed and loading condition. A number of restrictions in the transportation problem are considered leading to the exclusion of unfeasible solutions. The maximum profit over the period of a year is identified among the feasible pairs of speed and freight rate. This general methodology is applied in a case study that considers the route between Leixões (Portugal) and Rotterdam (Netherlands). The study allows the identification of the most suitable ship and fleet sizes for different market penetration levels and quantifies the impact on shipping company profit of changes in parameters such as fuel costs, time charter costs, emission control area, installed propulsion power and stacking factor.

滚装甩挂运输牵引车调度优化及作业模式类比分析

针对滚装甩挂运输新船型可“直进直出”条件下的“边装边卸”作业模式，与传统船型“船艉 进出”条件下的“先卸后装”作业模式对比，建立滚装甩挂码头牵引车调度的混合整数规划模型， 并设计遗传算法求解模型。通过对比不同规模算例下CPLEX与所设计遗传算法的实验结果，验证模型的正确性和算法的有效性。结果表明：相较于传统船型“先卸后装”作业模式，新船型“边装边卸”作业模式在运营成本方面可降低约15%；当装卸任务分布密集时，卸船任务靠近船艏运营成本越高，装卸任务分布稀疏时，卸船任务远离船艏运营成本越高；总体而言，“边装边卸”作业模式的运营成本低于“先卸后装”作业模式。研究结论可为“边装边卸”作业模式下的港口滚装甩 挂作业调度提供决策支持。

Ports in Proximity – Competition and Coordination among Adjacent Seaports,edited by Theo Notteboom,Cesar Ducruet,and Peter de Langen

The summer minimum extent of Arctic sea ice shrank drastically in these years, and the opportunity on Arctic international shipping emerged. The Northern Sea Route (NSR), formerly blocked by permanent ice, was completely ice-free in September in the past 3 years. Because this route is much shorter than conventional Asia–Europe shipping lane, many maritime countries have paid attention to exploit the enormous potential of the Arctic Ocean from economical consideration. This study measured the economical advantage of the seasonal NSR by calculating the shipping cost saved.     

客货滚装码头减排设计方案评价方法

提出一种客货滚装码头减排设计方案评价方法.在综合考虑成本属性、环境属性、社会属性构建方案评价指标体系的基础上,引入层次分析法和加权TOPSIS法对客货滚装码头减排设计方案进行综合评价,并以某拟建客货滚装码头为例验证方法的有效性.结果表明,算例中各方案在评价模型下具有良好的区分度,方案从优到劣为岸电、低硫柴油和陆基洗涤器...     

滚装直跳板码头装卸作业潮位预报方法

针对滚装码头装卸车辆的潮位范围选择问题,以滚装直跳板为研究对象,分析跳板技术状态、船的状态、通行车辆性能和码头参数等因素对作业潮位的影响,并将影响情况定量转化为仅以跳板工作角度为未知数的不等式组,采用数值迭代法求解出跳板工作角度范围,进而预报作业潮位范围,并通过工程实例对该作业潮位预报方法进行验证。结果表明,该作业潮位预报方法具有普遍适用性,可用于指导滚装船制定码头装卸作业计划。     

客滚码头港口作业过程中的危险因素及事故预防措施

针对我国客运滚装码头的港口作业安全现状及发展趋势，就作业过程中可能出现的安全问题，如旅客落水淹溺、车辆碰撞、夹带危险化学品进出港区、船舶靠离泊事故、恐怖分子蓄意破坏等，进行危险因素分析和辨识，提出相应的应对措施，最大限度地保证客滚码头安全运营。
