Studying port selection on liner routes: An approach from logistics perspective

The research aims to study the port selection in liner shipping. The central work is to set up a model to deal with port choice decisions. The model solves three matters: ports on a ship’s route; the order of selected ports and loading/unloading ports for each shipment. Its objective is to minimize total cost including ship cost, port tariff, inland transport cost and inventory cost. The model has been applied in real data, with cargo flows between the USA and Northern Europe. Afterwards, two sensitive analyses are considered. The first assesses the impact of a number of port calls on the total cost which relates closely to the viability of two service patterns: multi ports and hub & spoke. The second analyzes the efficiency of large vessels in the scope of a logistics network. The overriding result of this research is to indicate the influence of logistics factors in the decision of port choice. The research emphasizes the necessity to combine different factors when dealing with this topic, or else a result can be one-sided.     

船舶靠帮补给装置可达空间分析及运动学仿真

针对当前海上船舶间靠帮补给装置的不足，提出了一种混联式靠帮补给装置，使用串联式起重臂和并联式补偿装置的组合，可实现目标船甲板的覆盖以及对目标船的姿态补偿。根据设计的补偿装置结构参数，分析了装置的可达空间约束方程，利用工作空间极坐标搜索法结合Matlab软件得到了补偿装置的实际可达空间。使用三维设计软件进行补偿装置的建模，利用Adams软件的运动学分析模块对允许最大海况下满载的装置进行运动学分析，得到各驱动杆组的运动参数，有利于装置的进一步设计与完善。     

The relevance of international transport costs on food prices: Endogenous and exogenous effects

The paper addresses the problem of transport costs and their influence on food prices for South American imports. While transport does not seem to be in the focus of existing analyses, its impact on food prices might be underestimated and even closely linked to the development of commonly mentioned drivers of food prices. Since transport price formation is a function of demand and supply, drivers of food prices are also expected to impact on transport prices. The authors argue that a number of relevant factors that drive transport costs - and in consequence food prices - can be influenced by policy makers. Based on empirical analysis, the authors explain the functioning of the determinants of transport costs in the segment of international shipping, trying to describe their exogenous and endogenous components. These results are discussed in reference to policy development in the region.     

Demandeur pays: The EU and funding improvements in South Asian ship recycling practices

Questionable practices for dismantling end-of-life ships or ‘ship recycling’ on South Asian countries’ shores have elicited unease given their dominance of this unevenly regulated global industry. International efforts to establish enforceable regulations have met with limited success so far, and yet this limited success may be further eroded as different interests promote their own preferred arrangements—or ignore them altogether. This paper focuses on narrowing differences between the European Union and South Asian ship recycling nations over regulating this trade by sequentially detailing its economic rationales, environmental regimes and relevant sustainability principles. These tasks performed, I deductively build a case for an aid-based, ‘demandeur pays’ approach to meaningfully address this impasse after considering other options to fund improved ship recycling practices in South Asia.

海事地理信息系统的设计与初步实现

海事地理信息系统是在计算机硬件和软件支持下,对空间信息进行存储、查询、分析和输出,并为用户提供决策支持的综合性技术。它能直观地显示重要的统计分析、专题信息,具有强大的辅助分析、决策能力。在介绍了GIS、B/S和C/S结构的技术特点的基础上,探讨了海事地理信息管理系统的结构设计、功能设计和数据库设计,并对系统进行了初步实现。通过对海事地理信息系统的建设,制定海事地理信息标准规范,当前的许多应用系统以及将来要建设的系统都可以而且应该在海事地理信息系统的基础上进行结合、扩展,充分发挥空间地理信息为信息化建设带来的巨大优势。
