Abstract:
The proposed paper discusses multimodal container transport due to savings in external costs. Relevant data have been analysed by reviewing previous research and published works for making a synthesis of one’s own conclusions. The research findings showed that there is no significant difference in the share of external costs of container transport and transport of other types of cargo in great European seaports as well as in energy consumption of multimodal rail-inland ship container transport and the same transport mode of bulk cargo. Intermodal terminals have also their own external costs. In spite of a double railway operational cost, it is important to include the railway in the intermodal terminal. The inland waterway transport has much higher external costs than sea transport. Multimodal container transport does not necessarily lower external costs. The savings are more common if the location and type of intermodal terminal are selected properly, and the sea transportation is involved in the multimodal transport chain.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a simulation model to analyze the handling and the transfer system of containers in Le Havre seaport. The decision variables of simulation are determined by using the CPLEX optimization software. The goal is to determine the least expensive strategy for the transfer of a set of containers between container terminals. The simulation model is developed using an object-oriented approach and Flexsim CT simulation software. The objective is to obtain an efficient operating process for the multimodal terminal of Le Havre which is an intermediate platform for transferring containers (collection and delivery) by rail and river (trains and barges). The goal is to evaluate the performance of the containers transfer by rail shuttles between the future multimodal terminal and the maritime terminals. The aim is to analyze and to evaluate performance indicators of port logistics chain (costs, resource occupancy rate, service rate), and to test several management strategies.

Abstract:
Multimodal transport is still growing sector of economic activity in Poland. In 2015, transported in this way, more than 10 million tons of goods, an increase compared to 2014 by 7.5%. According to the Railway Transport Office (RTO) Multimodal Transportation in Poland constitute only 2.37% of commodity mass transported by rail and 4.53% made by her carriage transport work, which in comparison with other countries puts Poland on one of the last places in Europe. According to the forecasts of the RTO share of intermodal transport in the Polish railway market in the years 2003-2020 will increase from 1% to almost 6%. The increase in the commodity mass passing through the container terminals carries an increased risk of major failure involving dangerous chemicals. The question then arises: how to take care of the appropriate level of security acceptable to the general public.

Abstract:
As the transhipment of goods is a major cost factor within multimodal transport there is high potential in optimizing transhipment processes at container terminals and thus to reduce transportation costs. One aspect thereby is to improve efficiency of ports ́ personnel, optionally by using port vehicle simulators for training. The paper ́s aim is to identify the demand for port-transcending vehicle simulator training at container terminals in the Danube Region and to examine the feasibility of its practical implementation. Results suggest high basic interest of container terminals in simulator training. Currently, simulators were mainly operated by crane and reach stacker (simulator) manufacturers. However, caused by the high technical and organizational expenses it is yet not possible or at least not profitable for container terminals itself to offer port-transcending simulator training.

Abstract:
Globalization is a significant factor for optimization of the existing transport chains. It is a major power for sustainable development of containerized transport, the relevant transport infrastructure and terminal equipment. The development of seaports and inland waterway connections became important part in global supply chain. The transportation models which are using multimodal transport service consist from maritime, port and hinterland parts. Choosing the appropriate strategy allows the shipping companies to reduce the transport cost and helps them to be more competitive on the cargo market. This article aims to identify the challenges and prospects for development of multimodal transport operations with containerized cargoes using of system approach to the each subsystems of the multimodal transport chain. To achieve the scope of the paper, research has been done on the global effects that big shipping companies contribute to the final transport cost; to the organization in container terminals and further influence on the local terminal operators; to the improvement of port infrastructure, including the number of offered services and implementation of innovations for increasing terminal efficiency. As a result, the main parameters for evaluation of the importance of one container terminal in the supply chain are defined.

Abstract:
Multimodal container terminals are an important part of the logistics systems in international trade. Any improvement in the terminal efficiency is likely to reduce the costs of transporting goods, and to strengthen the trading position of the nation. During the import process, containers flow from ships to the storage yard for temporary storage and then are later moved to the hinterland by rail, or by road. The export process is the reverse of the import process. From the marshalling area, it is possible for a yard machine to carry an inbound container to the storage area and back with an inbound container in one round trip. This thesis investigates the inbound and outbound container process of multimodal container terminals in a multi-ship and multi-berth environment. The aim is to develop mathematical models and analytical tools for yard operation and planning. This study concerns the yardlayout, storage locations, operation strategies as well as the sequencing and scheduling of container process. Several models are developed for the scheduling of container process, taking account of planned and unplanned disruptions, and the intermediate buffer at the marshalling area. The problem is NP-hard and real-life problems often involve large number of containers. In addition, many schedules may not be feasible due to deadlock or violation of precedence-constraints. Good results were achieved on benchmark problems using the proposed innovative. In dealing with unplanned disruptions, reactive scheduling approach was found to give the results similar to as if the disruptions were planned in advance. Numerical investigations are also presented on various factors affecting the efficiency of seaport container terminals including the number of yard machines, and the number of quay crane. As with the various yard-layouts studied, it was found that containers are best stored in rows perpendicular to the quay-line with about 10 to 14 bays in each row. For a shorter ship service time, ideally the containers should be stored as close as possible to the ship. The best storage locations, however, are scarce resources and are not always available. Another model is developed for the best storage location as well as the best schedule for the container process. From an initial best schedule with predefined storage locations, the problem is solved by iterating through the refinement of storage scheme and re-scheduling. At a seaport terminal, ships are planned to arrive and leave within a scheduled time window. Nevertheless, a ship may arrive late due to poor weather conditions or disruptions at the previous port. Such delay may also affect its departure to the subsequent port. To minimise the impact of ship delays, port operators must consider alternate arrangements including re-assignment of berths, re-sequencing of ships and rescheduling of the container process. A ship delay model is developed and the problem is solved by combining branching and Tabu Search. The models developed in this thesis establish the relationship between significant factors and the options for increasing throughput by discovering the bottlenecks. The models are applicable as decision tools for operation planning, yard layout, and cost and benefit analysis for investment in infrastructures.

Abstract:
A Multimodal Seaport Container Terminal (MSCT) is a complex system which requires careful planning and control in order to operate efficiently. It consists of a number of subsystems that require optimisation of the operations within them, as well as synchronisation of machines and containers between the various subsystems. Inefficiency in the terminal can delay ships from their scheduled timetables, as well as cause delays in delivering containers to their inland destinations, both of which can be very costly to their operators. The purpose of this PhD thesis is to use Operations Research methodologies to optimise and synchronise these subsystems as an integrated application. An initial model is developed for the overall MSCT; however, due to a large number of assumptions that had to be made, as well as other issues, it is found to be too inaccurate and infeasible for practical use. Instead, a method of developing models for each subsystem is proposed that then be integrated with each other. Mathematical models are developed for the Storage Area System (SAS) and Intra-terminal Transportation System (ITTS). The SAS deals with the movement and assignment of containers to stacks within the storage area, both when they arrive and when they are rehandled to retrieve containers below them. The ITTS deals with scheduling the movement of containers and machines between the storage areas and other sections of the terminal, such as the berth and road/rail terminals. Various constructive heuristics are explored and compared for these models to produce good initial solutions for large-sized problems, which are otherwise impractical to compute by exact methods. These initial solutions are further improved through the use of an innovative hyper-heuristic algorithm that integrates the SAS and ITTS solutions together and optimises them through meta-heuristic techniques. The method by which the two models can interact with each other as an integrated system will be discussed, as well as how this method can be extended to the other subsystems of the MSCT.

Abstract:
Computer based simulation models have often been used to study the multimodal freight transportation system. But these studies have not been able to dynamically couple the various modes into one model; therefore, they are limited in their ability to inform on dynamic system level interactions. This research thesis is motivated by the need to dynamically couple the multimodal freight transportation system to operate at multiple spatial and temporal scales. It is part of a larger research program to develop a systems modeling framework applicable to freight transportation. This larger research program attempts to dynamically couple railroad, seaport, and highway freight transportation models. The focus of this thesis is the development of the coupled railroad and seaport models. A separate volume (Wall 2010) on the development of the highway model has been completed. The model railroad and seaport was developed using Arena® simulation software and it comprises of the Ports of Savannah, GA, Charleston, NC, Jacksonville, FL, their adjacent CSX rail terminal, and connecting CSX railroads in the southeastern U.S. However, only the simulation outputs for the Port of Savannah are discussed in this paper. It should be mentioned that the modeled port layout is only conceptual; therefore, any inferences drawn from the model's outputs do not represent actual port performance. The model was run for 26 continuous simulation days, generating 141 containership calls, 147 highway truck deliveries of containers, 900 trains, and a throughput of 28,738 containers at the Port of Savannah, GA. An analysis of each train's trajectory from origin to destination shows that trains spend between 24 - 67 percent of their travel time idle on the tracks waiting for permission to move. Train parking demand analysis on the adjacent shunting area at the multimodal terminal seems to indicate that there aren't enough containers coming from the port because the demand is due to only trains waiting to load. The simulation also shows that on average it takes containerships calling at the Port of Savannah about 3.2 days to find an available dock to berth and unload containers. The observed mean turnaround time for containerships was 4.5 days. This experiment also shows that container residence time within the port and adjacent multimodal rail terminal varies widely. Residence times within the port range from about 0.2 hours to 9 hours with a mean of 1 hour. The average residence time inside the rail terminal is about 20 minutes but observations varied from as little as 2 minutes to a high of 2.5 hours. In addition, about 85 percent of container residence time in the port is spent idle. This research thesis demonstrates that it is possible to dynamically couple the different sub-models of the multimodal freight transportation system. However, there are challenges that need to be addressed by future research. The principal challenge is the development of a more efficient train movement algorithm that can incorporate the actual Direct Traffic Control (DTC) and / or Automatic Block Signal (ABS) track segmentation. Such an algorithm would likely improve the capacity estimates of the railroad network. In addition, future research should seek to reduce the high computational cost imposed by a discrete process modeling methodology and the adoption of single container resolution level for terminal operations. A methodology combining both discrete and continuous process modeling as proposed in this study could lessen computational costs and lower computer system requirements at a cost of some of the feedback capabilities of the model This tradeoff must be carefully examined.

Resumo: O setor de transportes, além de transportar pessoas e mercadorias, promove a integração entre regiões contribuindo, dessa forma, para o desenvolvimento econômico de um país. Em escala mundial, o transporte de cargas tornou-se um diferencial na conquista de novos mercados. Um transporte eficiente, ágil e seguro é fundamental para o sucesso nas relações comerciais. A multimodalidade surgiu da necessidade de se obter um sistema de transporte de qualidade e que atendesse às prioridades do mercado. Para tanto, a multimodalidade promove de forma racional a integração entre diferentes modais, para o transporte de uma mesma mercadoria. Para que o conceito de multimodalidade possa ser aplicado é necessária a presença de terminais multimodais para que se realizem as integrações entre os diferentes modais. Diante da importância do tema, o estudo propõe a identificação dos problemas existentes na infra-estrutura dos terminais multimodais, visando a integração dos modais aéreo e rodoviário no Aeroporto Internacional de Viracopos situado na Região Metropolitana de Campinas. O estudo identifica os problemas existentes nos terminais de importação e exportação do Aeroporto de Viracopos, e por meio da técnica da árvore de causas-raiz ou ¿os cinco porquês¿, consegue chegar a suas causas-raiz, além de contribuir com sugestões para reduzir as conseqüências dos problemas
Abstract: The transport sector besides being responsible for carrying people and goods, promotes the integration between regions contributing, in this way, for the economic development of a country. In a world-wide scale, the freight transportation became a differential in the successful conquer of new markets. An efficient, agile and safe transport is a basic aspect for the success in the commercial relationship. The multi-modal transport was idealized from the necessity of a competent transport system, which contemplated the priorities of the market. For that, the multi-modal transportation promotes, in a coherent form, the integration between different forms of transport, for carrying the same cargo. The multi-modal transport concept requires, for its implementation, the presence of multimodal terminals intending the integration between the different forms of transport. In view of the importance of this subject, this study proposes the identification of the existing problems in the infrastructure of the multi-modal terminals, aiming at the aerial and road transport integration in the International Airport of Viracopos, situated in the Metropolitan Region of Campinas. This study identifies some problems in the cargo terminals of the Airport of Viracopos, and through the method known as root cause or the five why identifies their origins, contributing with suggestions to minimize the consequences of these problems

Abstract:
De nos jours, le transport maritime, en pleine évolution, joue un rôle très important dans le monde économique. Face à ce contexte, les différents maillons des chaînes logistiques portuaires sont tenus à améliorer continuellement leur performance pour rester compétitifs. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons une approche, appelée ECOGRAISIM, pour l'évaluation de la performance d'une chaîne logistique portuaire. Elle combine la méthode ECOGRAI et la simulation afin de déterminer et de mesurer les indicateurs de performance. L’originalité dans ce travail est que l’approche ECOGRAISIM offre une étape supplémentaire qui consiste à montrer efficacement comment peut-on agir sur le système à évaluer. Dans notre démarche ECOGRASIM, nous nous intéressons à la phase concernant les variables d'action et nous proposons une nouvelle étape pour réaliser le pilotage par la performance. Nos travaux de recherche concernent tout particulièrement le terminal multimodal du port du Havre. Nous nous focalisons sur les processus de manutention et de transfert massifié des conteneurs par navettes ferroviaires. Le but est d’obtenir un mode d’exploitation performant du terminal multimodal en comparant les différents scénarios de transfert des conteneurs par rapport à la minimisation des retards, des coûts et des émissions de CO2
Nowadays, maritime transport, in full evolution, plays a very important role in the economic world. Against this background, the different seaport supply chains entities must improve continuously their performance to remain competitive. In this thesis, we propose an approach called ECOGRAISIM for evaluating the performance of seaport supply chain. It combines ECOGRAI method and simulation to identify and to measure performance indicators. The originality of the ECOGRAISIM approach is to provide an additional step to show how to act on the system to be evaluated. In this approach, we focus on action variables and we propose a new step to achieve the performance control. Our research works concern the multimodal terminal of Le Havre seaport. We focus on the processes of handling and massified transfer of containers by rail shuttles. The goal is to obtain an efficient operating process for the multimodal terminal by comparing different scenarios of containers transfer according to the minimization of delays, costs and CO2 emissions

Abstract:
This chapter addresses different optimization/simulation approaches for the innovative logistics in Le Havre port in France. These approaches are applied to various decisional problems raised in the maritime terminals (MT) and in the multimodal terminal (MMT). The first problem concerns container transfer by rail between the maritime terminals and the multimodal terminal. The second aims to optimize trains/shuttles parking in the rail yard of the multimodal terminal. The third and the fourth are about rail-rail transshipment of containers. The goal is to elaborate a dashboard for decision makers to analyze and evaluate performance indicators of port logistics chain (costs, resource occupancy rate, service rate) and to test several management strategies.

Abstract:
Recently, seaports have paid much attention to container transportation by rail to evacuate huge container flow received by sea. In this line, Le Havre seaport, as the first French port in terms of containers’ traffic, plans to put into service a rail-road terminal near the Paris region. The main purpose of this new inland terminal is to restrict the intensive use of roads on the Le Havre-Paris corridor and achieve a better massification share of hinterland transportation. Containers are routed by train between Le Havre and this terminal and the last/first mile remains done by trucks. This paper aims to propose a decision support tool based on simulation for the layout design problem of this new terminal. This tool is tested using a set of scenarios and the obtained results are then discussed.

Abstract:
Liuheng LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) terminal is proposed to serve LNG carriers and LNG tank container ships. However, the capacity of this terminal may be limited by the long entrance channel and traffic rules for LNG transportation. Therefore, to evaluate the capacity of Liuheng LNG terminal, we establish an agent-based microscopic simulation model for ship operation (AMic-SMSO) to simulate the whole process of ship operation in and out of a port. We undertake a series of experiment scenarios to identify the bottlenecks and assess the throughput capability by analyzing waiting times, berth occupancies, and explore the effect of modifying the traffic rules on these indicators. The results show that this simulation model is a useful tool in determining whether traffic rules works well actually, especially for LNG terminal berth configuration plan.

Abstract:
The scheduling of quay cranes is a core logistics challenge that affects significantly the loading and unloading time of a vessel berthed at a container terminal. In this paper, we study the Stochastic Floating Quay Crane Scheduling Problem involving cranes situated on the quay of an offshore modular platform. Specifically, we consider the case in which each crane is situated on a different module of the platform, thereby confining its operation range. Additionally, we assume stochastic crane productivity rates due to the effect of the offshore wind. To tackle the problem, we propose a simheuristic framework, which combines Iterated Local Search with Monte Carlo Sampling into a joint collaborative scheme. The main objective is to minimize the expected completion time of the loading and unloading process taking into account precedence, nonsimultaneity, non-crossing, and spatial constraints of the problem at hand. The performance of the proposed simheuristic is investigated on a set of established problem instances across different configuration parameters and under various real-world environmental scenarios offering insightful conclusions.
