We herein propose a new design procedure of a flexible container ship model where the vertical bending and torsional vibration modes are similar to its prototype. To achieve similarity in torsional vibration mode shapes, the height of the shear center of the model must be located below the bottom hull, similar to an actual container ship with large opening decks. Therefore, we designed a ship model by imparting appropriate stiffness to the hull, using urethane foam without a backbone. We built a container ship model according to this design strategy and validated its dynamic elastic properties using a decay test. We measured wave-induced structural vibrations and present the results of tank experiments in regular and freak waves.

Large container carriers are suffering from lack of knowledge on reliable correlation allowances between model tests and full-scale trials, especially at fully loaded condition, Careful full-scale sea trial with a full loading of containers both in holds and on decks was carried out to clarify it. Model test results were analyzed by different methods but with the same measuring data to figure out appropriated correlations factors for each analysis methods, Even if it is no doubt that model test technique is one of the most reliable tool to predict full scale powering performance, its assumptions and simplifications which have been applied on the course of data manipulation and analysis need a feedback from sea trial data for a fine tuning, so called correlation factor. It can be stated that the best correlation allowances at fully loaded condition for both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional analysis methods are fecund through the careful sea trial results and relevant study on the large size container carriers.

The global financial crisis has slowed overall growth in the global economy. In addition, uncertainty is increasing in the world economy due to the Trade protectionism, sluggish world trade, and a rise in the rate of interest caused by expansion of fiscal spending by major countries. In this study, we analyzed various factors affecting the container import and export volume, which has a high correlation with export and import of commodities in international trade. In particular, we will examine how exchange rate fluctuations and domestic and overseas economic conditions affect container imports and exports. For the empirical analysis, monthly time series data were used from January 2000 to January 2017. We use the Error Correction Model (VECM) for the empirical analysis and the GARCH model for the exchange rate fluctuation. As a result, container export and import volume had a negative relationship with exchange rate and exchange rate volatility, which had a positive effect on domestic and international economic conditions. However, the effects are different before and after the financial crisis.

The prediction of the sum of container is very important in the field of container transport. Many influencing factors can affect the prediction results. These factors are usually composed of many variables, whose composition is often very complex. In this paper, we use gray relational analysis to set up a proper forecast index system for the prediction of the sum of containers in foreign trade. To address the issue of the low accuracy of the traditional prediction models and the problem of the difficulty of fully considering all the factors and other issues, this paper puts forward a prediction model which is combined with a back-propagation (BP) neural networks and the support vector machine (SVM). First, it gives the prediction with the data normalized by the BP neural network and generates a preliminary forecast data. Second, it employs SVM for the residual correction calculation for the results based on the preliminary data. The results of practical examples show that the overall relative error of the combined prediction model is no more than 1.5%, which is less than the relative error of the single prediction models. It is hoped that the research can provide a useful reference for the prediction of the sum of container and related studies.

본 연구는 철도물류터미널에서 작업선 배정 및 열차조성을 위한 최적화 모형을 제시한다. 본 연구에서는 하루 터미널 작업 종료시간을 최소화하며 처리 컨테이너수를 최대화하는 다기준 정수 계획 모형을 개발하였고, 의왕ICD로부터의 실제 데이터로부터 구성된 현실 문제에 대해 본 모형을 적용하여 실험하였다. 실험 결과 목적함수의 가중치에 따라 다양한 파레토 최적해를 산출할 수 있었으며, 기존의 해보다 전체 작업종료 시간을 약 6% 감소시켰으며 이러한 결과는 본 연구에서 개발한 최적화 모형을 적용할 경우 설비의 추가적인 확장 없이도, 철도 컨테이너 터미널의 처리효율 향상을 가져올 수 있음을 의미한다.

This paper presents an estimation method of container handling capacity and selection of resource allocation strategies of container terminals using the computer simulation models. Simulation models are developed to model container terminal consisting of 4 berths considering the berth allocation strategies, crane allocation strategies and the total number of container cranes using Arena simulation package. The proposed models do not consider the yard operations and gate operations. All the input parameters for the models are estimated on the basis of the existing container terminal operation data and the planning data for the automated container terminal planned by Korean government. Four berth allocation strategies and three crane allocation strategies are considered. The total number of container cranes considered ranges from 12 to 15. Non-terminating simulation techniques are utilized for the performance comparison among alternatives. The performance measures such as average ship turnaround time, average ship waiting time, average ship service time, the number of containers handled per year, and the number of ships processed per year are used. The result shows that the berth allocation strategy minimizing the sum of the number of ships waiting, the number of busy container cranes and number of ships handled performs better than any other berth allocation strategies. In addition, the crane allocation strategy allocating up to 5 container cranes per berth performs better than any other crane allocation strategies. Finally there are no significant performance differences among the alternatives consisting of different total number of container cranes allocated.

항만하역시설은 효율화는 항만 경쟁력의 핵심요소이다. 항만하역서비스강화를 위하여 주요항만 간의 경쟁이 심화되고 있다. 야드장비의 운영은 컨테이너터미널의 운영효율과 비용절감을 결정하는 아주 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구는 컨테이너터미널에 있어서 다양한 야드장비의 효율성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 투입요소는 2006년 2007년, 2008년, 2009년에서 4가지의 겐트리크레인, 트랜스테이너 크레인, 야드트랙터, 리치스태커 탑 핸들러며 산출요소는 환적물동량이다. 컨테이너야드 운용의 효율성을 분석하고 Tobit분석을 이용하여 겐트리크레인, 트랜스테이너 크레인, 야드트랙터, 리치스태커 탑 핸들러가 효율성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 모형1은 겐트리크레인과 트랜스테이너 크레인 두 변수가 투입된 트랜스테이너 크레인은 Tobit I 과 Tobit II 두 모형에서 트랜스테이너 크레인의 증가가 효율성을 증가시키는 요인이며 트랜스테이너 크레인이 겐트리크레인보다 효율성에 더 큰 영향을 준다 모형2와 모형 3은 겐트리크레인과 트랜스테이너 크레인이 겐트리크레인과 트랜스테이너 크레인의 증가가 효율성을 증가시킬 수 있다. 모형 4는 Tobit II에서 리치스태커 탑 핸들러가 리치스태커 탑 핸들러의 증가가 겐트리크레인, 트랜스테이너 크레인, 환적량에 의한 효율성에 영향을 미친다. 모형 5와 모형6은 야드트랙터와 리치스태커 탑 핸들러가 효율성 상승요인이다. 모형7은 리치스태커 탑 핸들러는 리치스태커 탑 핸들러의 증가가 야드트랙터, 리치스태커 탑 핸들러, 환적량에 의한 효율성에 영향을 준다 모형 8과 모형 9는 야드트랙터와 리치스태커 탑 핸들러가 효율성 상승요인이다. 리치스태커 탑 핸들러 계수가 야드트랙터 계수보다 커서 리치스태커 탑 핸들러가 야드트랙터, 리치스태커 탑 핸들러, 환적량을 이용하여 도출한 효율성에 더 큰 영향을 준다. 모형 10에서 겐트리크레인은 5%에서 유의하지 않은데 비해 트랜스테이너 크레인은 Tobit I에서 5%, Tobit 2에서 8% 수준에서 음의 부호로 유의하다. 모형 11와 모형 12는 겐트리크레인과 트랜스테이너 크레인의 증가가 효율성을 증가시킬 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

This paper is concerned with developing a standard costing model based on the case study of PECT and GCT and analysing their profitability in order to improve operation efficiency and design business strategy. In doing so, the model can be a useful tool to analyze current calculation system of lease charge at the two terminals and to judge whether the level of lease charge currently applied to them is justifiable for their profitability. This paper also deals with break-even analysis of container terminal operating companies on the basis of the model and forecast of their profitability. On the top of that, it tries to look into the arguments and to suggest proposals for improving their profitability.

This study determined the ship replacement life expectancy from an economic perspective. There are many ambiguities in the cost for calculation of economic lifespan, and these were expressed as fuzzy numbers. Also, a fuzzy cost model using fuzzy numbers was developed and suggested as a more practical analysis method than the existing cost model. And the suggested fuzzy model was used to determine the economic lifespan for various types of container ships. As the result, Without fuzziness, the economic lifespan of 5000 TEU Ships was found to be 19 years. it was found that the greater the container ship, the greater the economic lifespan was.
