  • Despite the significance of ports as critical economic infrastructure, the berth facilities usually deteriorate due to heavy loading, unloading, aging, environmental weather conditions, marine growths, and lack of efficient maintenance management. Marine berths require proactive maintenance management to limit deterioration and defects as no berth facility is maintenance-free. Thus, delay in carrying out maintenance work for the marine berths can be devastating to the operational process involving ship entry, loading, and unloading operations. The aim of this research is to coordinate both operations work, and maintenance works that take place inside the berth of a local industrial port in Saudi Arabia, by developing a novel framework that integrates both works without affecting the efficiency and functionality of the berth. The study focused on defining the operational process of the port and identifying the elements with direct and indirect effects. In addition to determining the priority for the entry of ships inside the berth, it also identified the factors involved in designing a framework that included maintenance work as a component of the monthly berth occupancy schedule. By applying a mathematical model, a framework was established, which includes all the important elements of the process. As a result of the mathematical method formulation process, a database was designed that organizes and coordinates the operations of all berths within the port. This creates time to carry out the required maintenance work monthly as well as ease of coordination with the contractors responsible for the implementation of those works.

  • In these days, there are a lot of studies in the port automation, for example, unmanned container trasporter, unmanned gantry crain, and automatic terminal operation systems and so on. In terms of loading and unloading equipments. we can consider container transporter. This paper describes the automatic control for the UCT(unmanned container transporter), especially steering control systems. UCT is now operated on ECT port in Netherland and tested on PSA ports in Singapore. So we present a design on the controller using neural network PID(NNPID) controller to control the steering system and we use the neural network self-tuner to tune the PID parameters. The computer simulations show that our proposed controller has better performances than those of the other.

  • In this paper, practical problems for current feeder service between Busan port and west coast of Japan were extracted through in depth interviews with Japanese feeder vessel companies, shippers, and port authority based upon which major criteria (elements) for improvement of the feeder network are structured in hierarchic order and weighed relative importance through AHP method. From the questionnaire answered by Korean and Japanese port users and experts the weights of criteria were calculated and the shipping service was ranked the first by both parties with 0.235 and 0.217, respectively. The port service and support system ranked the second and the third, whereas the port marketing was shown to be the lowest of all. Considering the overall weights, the increase in a port loading and unloading speed of port service was followed by provision of dedicated deck for feeder vessel of port facilities for Korean respondents. Therefore, speed up of the port operations and providing docks for feeder vessel are to be firstly provided for more efficient feeder operations, which would be the basis for the construction of optimal transportation network.

  • This study analyzed regular transportation costs between port warehouses and processing plants and between processing plants and central distribution centers and further transportation costs relations according to empty transfer rates in each circulation by examining the distribution routes of imported grain including wheat, barley, corn, and soybean, namely port warehouses, processing plants, and central distribution centers. Based on the results, the study compared and reviewed the logistics transportation costs. The analysis results of the alternative model show that logistics operational costs could be considerably cut down by introducing a flexible vehicle transportation operational method, which is to change the vehicle loading parts for proper substitute transportation after unloading and transport them to other locations such as central distribution centers instead of returning empty, as an alternative to high operational costs deriving from empty vehicle operation in each circulation after unloading items in case of transportation of imported grain and processed items. The results allow for a more realistic approach to general problems with large-scale distribution network operation and provide a theoretical foundation to serve as a guide to establish policies for corporate operation of imported grain logistics systems.

  • In recent years the hatchcoverless(or open-top) containerships have been evolving as a promising new concept for enhanced containership operations. The design concept of the hatchcoverless containership is innovative and appears to be worthwhile. especially from an operational viewpoint. The hatchcover and container lashing system have been eliminated and the containers are stacked in open hold fitted with cell guides. Thus this design concept can provide a more efficient and economically viable fleet due to the reduced time and cost of loading and unloading operations. Therefore turnaround time in port is also greatly reduced. This examination provides. brief background, advantages, brief review of new building containership, highlights of the pertinent areas requiring special consideration and recommendations of possible analyses herein.

  • This Paper discusses how to estimate the container yard space of a port container terminal as well as how much the Inventory level of containers Is affected by related factors such as allowable dwell time for containers, handling volume per containership, and loading/unloading productivity of a port container terminal. Under the assumption of static relations among the factors, a model for estimating the container yard space is suggested. In terms of arrival patterns of containers, sub-models for export, import, and transshipment containers are constructed separately. A numerical example and the sensitivity analysis for some parameters are provided to help intuitive understanding the characteristics of the suggested model. The experimental results show that the allowable dwell time for containers is the most critical one of the factors to influence on the maximum Inventory level of containers.

  • 본 논문에서는 항만 자동화를 위해 새로이 제안된 리니어 모터 기반 컨테이너 이송시스템에 지능제어기법을 이용하여 그 정밀도를 향상시키고자 한다. LMCTS(Linear Motor-based Container Transfer System)는 스케일의 거대함 때문에 일반 리니어 모터에서 중요시 되지 않는 정지마찰력과 디텐트럭(detent force)이 정밀제어에 큰 문제가 된다. 특히, 컨테이너 적제유무에 따라 시스템 자체가 급격히 변하므로 기존의 PID형 제어기로는 좋은 성능을 얻기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 같은 구조를 갖는 두 개의 DR-FNN(Dynamically- constructed Recurrent Fuzzy Neural Network)를 제어기와 에뮬레이터로 구성하여 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 하였다.

  • 경비, 훈련, 지원 등의 해상 임무를 종료한 해군 함정은 차기 임무를 준비하기 위해 모항에 입항하여 긴급수리, 유류수급, 무장 적하역, 크레인, 태세유지, 수리, 포 배열, 탄약적재, 부식 작업 등의 일련의 서비스를 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 한정된 선석과 설비 자원 하에서 여러 함정에 대한 효율적인 선석 할당 계획의 수립을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 불필요한 선석이동을 줄이고 계획기간 동안 각 함정이 필요로 차는 서비스를 점수화한 총점을 최대화하는 기존의 모형을 토대로, 서비스 지속 기간이 제한적이고 서비스들 간의 전후 우선순위가 존재하는 현실적인 제약을 고려하면서 전비태세를 향상시킬 수 있는 혼합 정수 계획 모형(Mixed Integer Programming)을 수립해 보았다. 효과적인 분석을 위하여 ILOG OPL(Optimization Programming Language) Studio 3.1을 사용하여 모델링 한 후 ILOG CPLEX 7.0으로 최적해를 구해 보았다. 본 연구에서 제시한 모형이 해군 함정의 효율전인 선석 할당 계획 수립에 적용될 수 있다면 해군 부대의 전비태세 향상에 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • 4차 산업의 발전으로 물류 산업은 스마트 물류 시스템으로 진화되고 있다. 그러나 차량을 운송하는 선박 작업은 다양한 문제로 디지털화가 더디게 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 선·하적 작업 시간을 단축하는 차량 운반선의 화물 적재에 사용 가능한 적재 자동화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 적재 자동화 알고리즘은 선박의 구조를 고려하여 선박 내의 적재 가능 공간 및 이동 가능 경로를 탐색하여 최단 거리를 반환한다. 알고리즘은 벽, 램프 그리고 이미 선적된 차량을 모두 인식하며, 무작위로 배치된 구조에서도 동작이 가능하다. 특히 선박의 항해 계획이 모두 담긴 마스터 플랜을 참조하여 항만별 차량 선·하적 공간 탐색과 최단 거리의 이동 가능 경로를 예측할 수 있어 차량 운반선의 스마트 물류 시스템 발전에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 전망한다.

  • This study is to choose the most proper model for AGV throughout simulation of behavior of suspension to reduce trial and error because there is no AGV treating heavy weight at harbor loading and unloading at home. Therefore, we estimate the vibration modes of the various suspensions applied to AGV, which is over 75 ton included the weight of two containers using the Matlab in the case of G and 5G, one of the simulation programs.
