Abhishek Rajaram, Abhishek (author)Transshipment is a key component of modern-day shipping logistics. Container supply chains rely on transhipment hubs to access remote locations. With globalisation driving growth in container trade, maritime congestion is rising at container terminals in ports worldwide. This is expected to worsen as demand continues to grow. The ill effects of...master thesis 2023

Nallapeta, Arjun (author)Urban transshipment network is a transshipment solution for last-mile distribution in dense metropolitan regions. In this network, a set of micro hubs located in the urban areas are used for deconsolidating shipments and transferring them from high capacity vehicles to light freight vehicles that eventually deliver to customer locations. Due to...master thesis 2020

Zhang, Y. (author), Atasoy, B. (author), Souravlias, D. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Inland waterway transport is becoming attractive due to its minimum environmental impact in comparison with other transportation modes. Fixed timetables and routes are adopted by most barge operators, avoiding the full utilization of the available resources. Therefore a flexible model is adopted to reduce the transportation cost and...conference paper 2020

Blanker, Folco (author)This thesis investigated the possibility of alternative ways to loading and offloading flexlay vessels and provides a concept design. This was investigated because currently, the vessels designed by IHC, have to sail back to port to restock on pipes. During this time the expensive pipelayer is not laying pipes and thus not making money for its...master thesis 2019

Veldstra, Tijmen (author)In 20 years, from 1996 to 2016, global cumulative container port throughput had an average annual growth rate of 6.3%. Furthermore, the average global transshipment incidence increased from 11% in 1980 to a stable 27% in 2017. This change in transshipment market dynamics has led to opportunities for potential port investments or disinvestments....master thesis 2019

Tawjoeram, Clive (author)For decades crane standards are used to assess crane fatigue making use of a static method in combination with factors to take dynamic load effects into account. This is not sufficient to make more accurate predictions. The proposed method benefits from state of the art Multibody Dynamics simulation tool Msc ADAMS and Finite Element software...master thesis 2017

Kallen, N.A. (author)Amsterdam Airport Schiphol expects growing cargo volumes in the future. At the same time, due to the expansion of passenger terminals, the cargo handling terminals at Schiphol are relocated and bundled on a smaller area at AAS South-East. The question is: how to handle increasing cargo volumes on a smaller area? One of the opted means to reach a...master thesis 2015

Wiegmans, B. (author), Witte, Patrick (author), Spit, Tejo (author)Most scientific attention in freight transportation port studies centers on the characteristics of deep-sea ports, in particular container ports. In our paper, in contrast, we focus our attention on the performance of inland ports in a European context, which is up to now an overlooked part in the scientific literature on port development....conference paper 2015

(D.DudokvanHeel@gw.rotterdam.nl) (author)The increase of global shipping leads to competition between container terminals. In order to meet the demands of the shipping companies (service time < 24h.) innovation is necessary. A new indented berth layout is used at Amsterdam Container Terminals to achieve a berth productivity of 300 moves per hour. Since there is a scarcity of land...conference paper 2010
