This paper compares two types of container ships used in maritime transport of containers: Triple-E and Suezmax ships. Unit costs for a selected route are compared and operational effectiveness of large container ships is calculated. Unit transportation costs per TEU transported are compared as well. There is described the importance of these large container carriers for logistics.

Abstract:
Container transport by sea has almost doubled in the last decade. Accordingly, container ships’ size has increased significantly, and the latest container ships carry up to 24000 Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEU). In the near future, the appearance of container ships with a capacity of 25000 TEUs can be expected on the market, because the design is already available. It is known that 10-12% of transported containers contain International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) cargo. The above stated reasons directly impact the frequency of container ship fires in cargo spaces. According to the Insur

Abstract As the maritime transport of containers continues to grow and container ships change in terms of design and construction, it is important to ensure the appropriate level of safety for this type of transport. Over the decades, the size and cargo capacity of container ships have been changing, and so have their manoeuvring restrictions and required stability criteria. It seems that changes in the regulations, technological development and increased stability requirements are not yielding satisfactory results – the causes of container ship accidents continue to show similar patterns.

This paper analyses factors that might cause accidents to the container ships due to containers stacked on deck, and propose applicable actions to minimize these factors. The number, capacity, and speed of hatch-coverless container ships worldwide have increased significantly since the latest decade due to the increase of world trade. There is also a trend of stacking more containers on deck in order to increase the capacity of the ships. This phenomenon makes the number of container ship accidents also increasing; particularly capsize or sink. Even though merchant ships have to comply with sa

These forces and moments cause the moored ship to move. The resulting ship motions due to the passing ship can sometimes be more severe than the ship motions due to ocean waves and can cause serious accidents at moorings such as the failing of mooring lines or even the total break away of the ship from the berth.

Ship convoys in the southern part of the Suez Canal can only travel in a single lane, therefore the grounding of the Ever Given effectively blocked all traffic through the Canal. The six-day blockage exacted a heavy financial price and loss of revenues for Egypt and for consumers worldwide.

Abstract:
Docker is a tool designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers. Containers allow a developer to package and ship out an application with all of the parts it needs, such as libraries and other dependencies. Herein, we investigate using a Docker image to deploy and run our Robot Operating System (ROS)–based payload on a robot platform. Ultimately, this would allow us to quickly and efficiently deploy our payload on multiple platforms.

Abstract:
This report contains two deliverable reports within Task 64/IV Solar Process Heat, Subtask E. After a short introduction in Chapter 2, Chapter 3 presents an update of Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP) technology costs (Deliverable E2), followed by Chapter 4 presenting new trends on business models and financing schemes for SHIP plants (Deliverable E3). In Chapter 5, additional information supporting the main text is annexed.

Gonzalez-Esteban, Cristina. Black Sea Wreck Virtual Reconstruction to Reinvigorate Archaeological Data and Comparative Studies. Honor Frost Foundation, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.33583/mags2021.07.

Abstract:
This short report tests a repeatable methodology for creating detailed virtual reconstructions where the model is a scientific container of the reconstruction information. The project reconstructed a Black Sea shipwreck using a photogrammetry survey and proposed a hypothesis of how it would have looked prior to sinking. To this “shell”, the metadata and paradata were added using BIM: Extended Matrix and Graphic Scale of Evidence. Academically, the “source-based reconstruction” opened a new spectrum of questions related to the ship and its community (chronology, building, propulsion, usage). Th

Abstract:
Mobile Bay is a large estuary located in the southwest corner of Alabama, which connects to the Gulf of Mexico. Mobile Harbor contains the only port in the state that supports ocean-going vessels. Some of the larger vessels calling on the port experience transit delays and limited cargo capacity, so a study was conducted by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District (CESAM), and the Alabama State Port Authority to investigate channel improvements. In 2017, the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) assisted CESAM in screening proposed deepening and widening alternatives i

Abstract:
This project was undertaken to provide the US Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration with a cultural landscape manage-ment plan for Mare Island Naval Cemetery. The approximately 2.5-acre cemetery is located in Vallejo, California, and contains more than 900 burials. Mare Island Naval Cemetery is part of the Mare Island Naval Ship-yard historic district, which was listed concurrently on the National Register of Historic Places and as a National Historic Landmark in 1975.

Full text
Abstract:
This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) documents the development through verification and validation of three instability-suppressing mechanisms in FUNWAVE-TVD, a Boussinesq-type numerical wave model, when modeling deep-draft vessels with a low under-keel clearance (UKC). Many large commercial ports and channels (e.g., Houston Ship Channel, Galveston, US Army Corps of Engineers [USACE]) are traveled and affected by tens of thousands of commercial vessel passages per year. In a series of recent projects undertaken for the Galveston District (USACE), it was discovered tha
