  • Ail of the world, unification and extension of market enlarged scale of international commerce. Thus, not only production but also circulation of goods is brought into relief and transportation of most freights is performed using container. Container vessels are equipped with marry kinds of securing equipments such as Lashing, twistlock. Lashing is installed mainly in container vessel for the container stack with more than 3 containers. Damage of containers often arise from irrelevant lashing arrangement and bring economical loss. Much time and cost is requested for the Calculation of forces on container and determination of lashing arrangement In this study, We developed lashing analysis simulator which performs calculation and presenst relevant lashing arrangement. It will provide more convenient and efficient environment for lashing analysis.

  • The recent amount of container freight continuously has been increased, but the low efficiency of container crane causes jamming frequently in transportation and cargo handling at port. It is required that the working velocity and safety are improved by control of moving the trolley as quick as possible without large overshoot and any residual swing motion of container at the destination. In this paper, a LQ Fuzzy controller for a container crane is proposed to accomplish an optimal design of improved control system for minimizing the swing motion at destination. In this scheme a mathematical model for the system is obtained in state space form. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified through computer simulation.

  • Currently, most logistics use containers. The construction of new port and high speed medium size container ship for the transportation of merchandise have become very important. The problem of ship stability is also important because of its direct influence on the loss of human life, ships, and merchandise. The stability of a container ship during its operation is not a large problem because it is well considered in the design process. However, the assessment of ship stability during container loading/unloading in port still depends on the expertise of experienced personnel. In this paper, a model based simulation system is introduced, which is able to assess ship stability during container loading/unloading, using ENVISION, a general purpose simulation system.

  • A satellite shipping container must afford the satellite a relatively benign thermal, vibration, and particle environment that is oblivious to the extreme temperatures, sand, dust, vibrations, and shock that can accompany the transportation. Korea Aerospace Research Institute has developed a new shipping container system that will be used to transport KOMPSAT-2(Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite) from Tae-jon to launch site. To verify the dynamic characteristics, a Finite Element Analysis model and a 1/3 scaled mockup of the container were developed before the fabrication of real one. After fabrication of real shipping container, experimental modal analysis was peformed to identify the dynamic characteristics. This paper presents a series of development process of KOMPSAT-2 shipping container.

  • The traditional measures of a container port (or terminal) efficiency such as crane productivity, cargo throughput, etc. were generally presenting the partial efficiency since they evaluated only each individual factor and based on cross-sectional data. To overcome this problem, and in an effort to help port authorities develop a winning strategy in the increasingly competitive container transportation market, this Paper develops a meaningful set of benchmarks that will set the standard for best practices. In particular, this paper proposed a combined method to merge the DEA and simulation technique over time. To illustrate the usefulness of the proposed combined DEA/simulation model, this paper used the panel data of the four Gwangyang container terminals and seven Busan container terminals in Korea over the four-year period of 1999 through 2002.

  • This paper describes the simulation study which evaluates operation plans of container terminal. The operation plans of container terminal consist of berth plan, load plan, unload plan, yard plan, and equipment plan. It is discussed how to apply the simulation method to evaluate those plans that are interrelated with each other. This paper also deals with the assignment and coordination problems of container-handing equipment such as container cranes, transfer cranes, yard tractors, and trailers used in the transportation of containers. Simulation analysis is bases on data about plans from the operation planning system through an interface program. It is discussed what we should got the statistics about container-handing equipment in the simulation.

  • By the rapid expansion of containerization and intermodal transportation in international shipping since the 1970's, the larger containerships have emerged and concentrated their calls at a limited number of ports. Moreover, large-scale container terminals have been built to accommodate the ever-larger containerships, and the mordernization of terminal facilities and many developments in information technology etc. have been brought out. Thus, unlimited competition has been imposed on every terminal with neighbouring ports in Japan, Singapore, Hongkong and Taiwan etc. The purpose of this study is to suggest how the container terminal operators cope with unlimited competition between local or foreign terminals. The results are suggested as follows: First, transshipment cargoes, which the added value is high, is to be induced. Second, the function of storage is given on On-Dock Yard. Third, Berth Pool Operation System is to be introduced, especially in Gamman Container Terminal and Kwangyang Container Terminal. Fourth, the cargo handling charges is to be decided by terminal operator.

  • Space may be a scarce resource in manufacturing shops, warehouses, freight terminals, and container terminals. This Paper discusses how to locate temporary storage Inventories In limited storage areas. A typical inventory is delivered from the location of the preceding process to the storage area and stored In the storage area during the certain period of time. And it may be relocated from the storage position to another. Finally. it is delivered from the final storage area to the location of the next process. Because this logistic process for an inventory requires handling activities, transportation activities, and storage spaces, the limitation in capacities of handling equipment, transportation equipment, and storage space must be considered when allocating spaces to the inventory. This problem Is modeled as a multicommodity minimal cost flow problem. And a heuristic algorithm for the Problem is proposed. Numerical experiments are presented to validate the mathematical model and the heuristic algorithm.

  • 부산항은 우라나라의 전체 수출입 및 환적 컨테이너 물동량의 약 90%를 처리하고 있기 때문에 지금까지 꾸준한 물동량 증가 추세를 보이고 있다. 컨테이너 물동량의 증가에 따라 정부에서는 항만시설을 지속적으로 확충하여 컨테이너 처리능력을 확대하고 있으나, 컨테이너 물동량의 증가율이 컨테이너 처리시설 확보율을 초과하여 부산항 컨테이너 전용부두의 컨테이너 수용능력은 부족한 실정이다. 이와 같은 컨테이너 장치장 부족문제를 해결하기 위해서 그 동안 부산항의 ODCY에서 처리하였으나, 최근 부두밖 장치장의 단계적 이전 및 폐쇄방침이 결정됨에 따라 부산항의 장치장 부족문제가 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 장치장 부족문제를 해결하고 부산항 컨테이너 유통체제를 개선시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위하여 첫째, 부산항의 컨테이너화물 유통 현황 및 문제점을 분석하고 둘째, 부산항 컨테이너화물 유통체제의 개선대안을 설정하여 분석결과를 제시한다.
