Port expansion Shanghai

China's economy is growing rapidly. For 1997 an economic growth of 10.5 per cent is expected (source: Economic pages of de Volkskrant, December 1996). With the economic growth the demand for new industrial zones and harbour areas arises. To facilitate these demands the port authority of Shanghai faces two major problems: the shortage of free...

Combi-terminal: Studie naar het toepassen van het combi-terminal concept op een moderne marine terminal

De kaden bij de marine containerterminals in Noord-Westeuropa hebben een lage bezettingsgraad. De investeringen in de kaden leveren daardoor een laag rendement op. Als oplossing voor dit probleem is het combi-terminal concept naar voren gekomen in de voorgaande studie "Innovatief kade-concept". Bij dit concept worden naast containerschepen ook...

De haven van Rades (Tunesië)

Nabij Tunis, de hoofdstad van Tunesië (Noord-Afrika), bevinden zich drie haventerreinen die gezamenlijk het complex Tunis/La Goulette/Radès vormen. De haven van Tunis wordt binnenkort gesloten voor commercieel scheepvaartverkeer. De in 1986 geopende haven van Radès is opgebouwd uit twee aparte haventerreinen, een gespecialiseerd terrein voor de...

Innovation in shortsea shipping: Self-loading and -unloading unitload shipsystems (S-curve shift in the handling of unitloads)

This book is not about the technology of a selfloading and unloading ship system, but about the constraints and conditions under which shortsea shipping can compete against other modes, on the level of transit time, frequency of departure, quality of service and of course, in price. The environmental benefits will be treated "pro-memorie" in...

Pipavav Port Project: Basic Dimensions of the port facilities, based on the traffic forecast, volume 1

The pipavav port in western Gujarat, India, will be developed in two phases, one projected for 1997 and the second for 2010. In the first phase four terminals are projected on the northern side of the bay. (See appendix II for a map of the project site.) One of these terminals will be a multi-purpose terminal for the handling of bagged rice and...

A computer simulation modelling study for port planning of main public terminal, port of Palembang, South Sumatera, Indonesia

The main problem which will be solved in this study is that concerning the Main Public Terminal (MPT) capacity: berthing, cargo handling and cargo storage capacity within the time span of development plan, up to 2005. The objective of the development plan is then defined, i.e. to provide MPT the least-cost of port operation consisting of port...

Port Development

General handbook for the planning and development of ports in developing countries.

The use of discrete computer simulation models for harbours in developing countries

In the past usually the queueing theory was used to determine the number of berths and with that the quay length. This analytic method can be applied when it is acceptable to create a very simple model by schematization of the so called real life system. In most cases however it is not possible to schematize to such an extend that the model...

Harborsim, a generally applicable harbour simulation model

Every planning of a port development or design of a new harbour is confronted with the unique physical properties and related problems to be solved. On the other hand every port can be defined as a link in the transport chain involved in the transfer of cargo from one medium of transport to another. Every port and its connected transhipment...

Havensimulatiemodellen

Teneinde te kunnen vaststellen op welke wijze de efficiency van een haven op een bepaald moment is te verbeteren of te kunnen voorspellen welke problemen zullen ontstaan in de toekomst wanneer bijvoorbeeld de verkeersomstandigheden zich wijzigen, is het noodzakelijk effekten te kunnen berekenen van iedere verandering in de randvoorwaarden van...
