The use of petroleum-based fuels in the shipping sector creates harmful emissions that need to be reduced to reach climate goals. Ammonia is being considered as a possible fuel to reduce emissions, but there exist several challenges that prevent its implementation. Research into these several of these challenges is being done, but there is...

The planning of railway operations is a very complex process, in which timetables and other logistical plans need to be both reliable and robust to effectively prevent and cope with disturbances. However, research in the robustness of initial stabling plans, designed in an earlier planning phase, during the following planning phases, has been...

The research on sustainable energy is growing, among which, wind energy catching growing attention and the potential has been supported by more and more countries. Compared with onshore wind farms, offshore wind farms have more advantages including the abundant wind resource at the offshore location and more possible construction areas. While...

A relatively new concept within demand management for time window assignment is green labeling; time windows which contribute to improving the routing performance in terms of sustainability. Certain time slots are given a so-called green label. From literature, limited information is known about the choice preference with regard to green...

Since the commercialisation of air travel, demand for air transport is increasing. Optimal system capacity utilisation at airports has therefore become crucial. As available resources such as land, buildings and human are scarce and airline tickets need to be financially affordable, airports optimise their system while maximising capacity within...

Until recently, tenders in Europe were awarded to wind farm developers based on the highest auction prices or the lowest subsidized bids. The wind industry has suggested that non-price-related criteria should be considered for tenders, like plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As a result of the sustainable tender criteria, greenhouse gas...

In the global energy transition where the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy is needed, wind energy is a growing industry. In the offshore wind industry, Service Operation Vessels (SOVs) are needed to operate and maintain wind farms. To reduce the environmental footprint of SOVs at offshore wind farms, the possibility of battery...

Break bulk terminal operators are constantly in search for improving the performance of their operations. The logistical processes associated with these operations are complex and identifying where improvements have the largest impact on performance therefore is as well. In this paper a combination of system thinking and discrete-event...

Background: With around 70 supermarkets, Hoogvliet is one of the smaller supermarkets in the Netherlands. During the past years, more companies have become aware of the importance of efficient reversed logistics (Senthil et al., 2018). By optimizing this return flow, the return hall of supermarkets plays an important role. With the expected...

Intralogistics is a crucial part of the supply chain and is continuously influenced by the drivers such as globalisation, mass customisation, and shorter product life cycles. The challenges brought about by the pandemic have accelerated the ’shifting pattern’ towards automation in transport & logistics. With the push towards higher...

With the increasing need for more sustainable transportation, the electrification of IWW shipping becomes of great relevance. There are several ways to achieve this, from which the implementation of an exchangeable battery system is discussed in this research. Several challenges arise from the large-scale implementation of such a system. One of...

In time of fast globalization and urbanization, the volumes of transported containers have significantly increased in the last decades. The challenges of operating with high volumes of containers have propagated from the deep-sea terminals into the hinterland network resulting in extensive use of road transportation, long waiting times and high...

Traditionally, ships are powered by fossil fuels in combustion engines, causing 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Alternative installations have yet to prove their reliability and are currently not as cheap or technological ready. <br/>To enable ship-owners to prepare their ship for the future, but postpone their decision on which...

High-speed rail (HSR) is frequently seen as a promising alternative for long-distance travel by air and road, given its environmental advantages whilst offering a competitive level of service. However, due to a lack of knowledge on the design of HSR specific line configurations and the prioritisation of national and railway company interests, no...
