走可持续发展道路，发展绿色内河航运

我国河流众多,可开发的航运资源丰富,但在各类交通运输系统日益发达的今天,我国内河航运却陷入了停滞不前的困境。如何认清我国内河航运的现状,结合绿色航运的理念来开发航运资源,实现内河航运的可持续发展,是本文探讨的主要内容。     

集装箱船舶的大型化提出的新的要求

此文主要讨论了集装箱船大型化对港口基础设施、内陆集疏运系统、保险及环保等提出的新的要求和影响,以及超大型集装箱船的经济性问题。     

我国航运企业人力资源管理研究

面对竞争日益激烈的航运市场,航运企业有必要在人力招募、培训、工资分配、激励和考核等方面做出相应的调整和改革,建立“以人为本”的人力资源管理概念,从而赢得竞争优势。     

内河客船结构防火分级研究

本文采用模糊聚类分析方法中的编网法和ISODATA方法，研究了内河客船结构防火分级问题，其结果可为修改和制订规范提供依据。     

2003年国际干散货运输市场分析与展望

告别了不平凡的2002年,我们走入2003年。2002年之所以不平凡,是因为在一片惨淡之中,国际干散货运输市场一枝独秀,在很短的时间内就完成了结束低谷进入波峰的大动作,并把这种强势带入了2003年。虽然目前受远东地区农历新年的影响,市场出现一定的调整,但仍处于高位,假日过后市场将会重新步入上升区间,总体上今年的市场环境要好于2002年。     

如何从战略上建立集装箱运输的信息管理系统

从集装箱运输现状出发,分析了其存在的问题,指出了从战略上建立集装箱运输信息管理系统的必要性,并提出了相应的解决办法。     

试论《中华人民共和国内河避碰规则》的局限性

在充分肯定了《内河避碰规则》的主体框架的基础上,针对目前反映比较突出的一些问题做了细致的分析,例如一些条款不够全面;有些条款用词陈旧,不够准确;对操限船、限于吃水船及失控船的概念没有提及;将内河的主要运输船型——拖带或顶推船没有纳入操限船的范畴等,对当前内河的航行安全产生了不利影响。针对这些问题,分别提出了新的建议。     

Operational measures to mitigate and reverse the potential modal shifts due to environmental legislation

On 1 January 2015, the sulphur upper limit for marine fuels used within sulphur emission control areas was lowered from 1% to 0.1%, with which vessels can comply only through using pricier ultra-low-sulphur fuel, or investing in abatement technologies. A potential increase of fuel prices could lead to closures of services due to the combined effects of loss of market due to higher freight rates, and increased operational costs. This paper builds on previous work allowing the modelling of modal shifts between sea and land-based options, and assesses the potential of operational measures that ship-owners can deploy to cope with the threat of the low-sulphur requirements. The measures include speed reduction, change of service frequency, use of alternative fuels such as liquefied natural gas, investments in scrubber systems, and improved fleet assignment. The proposed measures are tested on a set of case studies for services that are part of a short sea shipping network of a leading Ro-Ro operator. The results of this work can be useful to practitioners seeking to design new strategies that improve the resilience of their network, as well as to regulatory bodies designing new regulation that could have negative implications on certain sectors.     

Lessons from bankruptcy of Hanjin Shipping Company in chartering

This paper aims to analyze the charter contract management of major container shipping companies in response to fluctuations in shipping market conditions in terms of contract duration using data of containerships between 2010 and 2016. Duration analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between charter duration and shipping market conditions. Moreover, this paper explores the causes of Hanjin Shipping Company’s bankruptcy, drawing managerial implications. Test results from Cox PH (Proportional Hazard) model show that most container shipping companies in Europe having net earnings purchased large vessels instead of chartering vessels, while some ocean carriers featuring poor financial performance, in particular the Hanjin Shipping Company, chartered bigger ships with higher charter rates and longer duration. Contract charter rates and duration of Hanjin Shipping Company featured greater risk compared to competitors.     

Cruise port centrality and spatial patterns of cruise shipping in the Asian market

This paper investigates the centrality of cruise ports in the Asian cruise shipping market while proposing the hubs and authorities centrality (HACC) metric as a directional synthesis of the hubs centrality and authorities centrality to explore cyclical and directional features of centrality in the cruise shipping network. With the development of the cruise shipping industry, research has been actively conducted with a particular focus on identifying the characteristics of hub ports. This paper employs social network analysis to investigate the HACC which is originally developed for analyzing the cruise port centrality problem. Empirical study implies that Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Nagasaki, Penang, Phuket, Port Klang, Shanghai, and Singapore (in alphabetical order) reflects particulars of cruise hub ports. One of the exceptional results of this paper is Ho Chi Minh City, Penang, Phuket, and Port Klang have demonstrated high HACC (refers to hub ports) while limited degree and betweenness centrality. In contrast, Busan and Keelung are not classified as hub ports.
