Sustainability at Spanish ports specialized in liquid bulk: evolution in times of crisis (2010–2015)

In Spain, 28 Port Authorities of general interest moved more than 168 thousand tonnes of liquid bulk (34% of overall traffic) in 2015. Almost 82% of this amount corresponded to eight ports (G-8) that have a refinery within their facilities. This unique degree of specialization and concentration makes this set of ports an ideal sample to analyse the evolution of their sustainability levels, particularly during the crisis started in 2008 and onwards. A proprietary methodology based on Multidimensional Synthetic Indices has been used. The comparison of the findings obtained for 2010 and 2015 allows a diagnosis of the evolution of port sustainability measured through the economic, institutional, environmental and social dimensions to be established, as well as a study of the patterns of behaviour that each port has followed in this issue.     

公路客运运输枢纽分类分级研究

在分析公路客运运输枢纽影响因素的基础上,采用人口、国内生产总值、公路客运量、交通区位条件和城市等级作为评价指标,分别采用节点重要度法和聚类分析法对179个公路客运运输枢纽进行分类分级研究,并对比分析两种方法的分析结果,进而提出4个层级结构的公路客运运输枢纽分类结果。研究结果表明,该方法具有较好的适应性和实用性。

The Indian dry ports sector, pricing policies and opportunities for public-private partnerships

At the time of writing (2010), the world is witnessing the aftermath of the most severe financial sector meltdown in modern economic history caused by the real estate bubble in the United States. Its consequences on the real economy, especially in Europe, are yet to be fathomed, and this of course includes the longer-term impacts on international ocean transportation, ports and the distribution of global production.The economic recession has left the international shipping and port sectors with substantial overcapacity. This has resulted in drastic cost cutting measures on the one hand, and voluntary, often consensual, and coordinated reduction of supply on the other. These measures, together with a noticeable recovery in demand, are gradually leading again to improvement in prices charged by carriers and other transport service providers.In view of the country’s expanse; size of population; and regional inequalities, India’s dry ports (inland cargo consolidation and distribution centres) are seen by the government as a pivot of export-led growth and economic development (Haralambides & Gujar, 2011). Moreover, public and private sectors alike see the coordinated development of dry ports as the only way forward in terms of easing pressures at congested coastal ports, thus improving supply chain efficiency. In spite of this, dry port development and operations are still dominated by the public sector, under prices, capacity, land acquisition policies and other conditions that make private sector participation risky and comparatively unattractive. In order to rationalize dry port capacity and prices, this paper argues in favour of greater devolution through competition-enhancing Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). The paper puts forward recommendations for the necessary legal, regulatory and general economic policy interventions based on international best practice, while keeping Indian specificities in the right perspective.     

基于uClinux嵌入式系统的GPS技术在浮标定位系统中的应用

以ARM与uC linux嵌入式系统为软硬件平台,对河道上浮标的GPS定位数据的接收和处理作了详细的论述。本系统以三星公司的s3 c44b0x微控制器为核心,GPS模块采用诺瓦泰(NOVATEL)公司生产的OEM板卡superstarⅡ,两者通过串口通讯。用C语言编写的应用程序(运行于uC linux操作系统上)接收从GPS串口发送的浮标定位信息,经过处理,可利用uC linux对TCP/IP的支持,通过无线GPRS网络发送到远端监控中心,重点实现了浮标定位信息的获取。     

考虑船舶航速的集装箱班轮燃油补给策略

针对集装箱班轮运输中船舶燃油补给问题,分析船舶航速变化对燃油消耗产生的非线性影响,推导出船舶航速与船舶往返时间及船舶油耗之间的关系式,以连续多航次船舶燃油补给总成本最低为目标,加油港与加油量为决策变量,建立周计划内考虑航速的集装箱班轮燃油补给混合整数非线性规划模型.根据模型特点,利用分段线性逼近函数对模型进行等价转换.以某航运公司的亚欧单航线为仿真实验,依次分析港口时间窗、船舶类型、燃油价格及船舶油舱容量等因素对船舶燃油补给策略的影响.结果表明:该模型可以同时决策船舶加油港的选择、加油量的大小及航速的调整,比传统模式更能节省油耗和成本.
