Waigaoqiao Harbour——An Important International Shipping Route

The Shanghai Waigaoqiao Bonded Area Harbour Corporation has been developed for five years. In 1995, the corporation handled 2.26 million tons of cargo including 120,000 containers. The year 1996 also witnessed a sharp increase in cargo turnover. The Waigaoqiao Harbour, situated in the northeast corner of Pudong and facing the mouth of the Yangtze River,

REVIEW THE PAST AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE FUTURE OF INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING MARKET

Ⅰ. Review the past of 1994 international shiPPing market: 1994 saw world economy begin a new cycle of boom. The economy of the West was on the way to a complete recovery, and that of East Asia was keeping up its steady growth. ACCOFding to the estimation 0f International Monetary Fund, the 1994 growth rate of world economy was 3％ and that of world—trade volume was about 5％. Thanks to these factors, the international shipping market had also Undergone considerable changes. 1. In 1994,world dry—bulk shipping market first sagged and thenstiffened. Affected by the negative growth of

The building of Shanghai into an international shipping center will achieve a significant breakthrough——from an Address on 2001 Senior Maritime Forum by Yah Junqi,Vice Mayor of Shanghai

The building of Shanghai into an international shipping center will achieve a significantbreakthrough in the next five years.Under the leadership of the Central Government and withthe support of other Provinces and cities,the construction of Shanghai International ShippingCenter,an important decision made by the Central Government,has obtained much progress in thepast few years:

Development of Taicang Port, Jiangsu Province as a Sub-Central Port in Shanghai International Shipping Center

Taicang port (31°39’N, 121°12’E), located on the south bank of the Yangtze River in southeastern Jiangsu province, is adjacent to Shanghai city, 53 km from Shanghai business center and 46 km from Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport. With over 20 kmof deep-water front (water depth 】10 m) and only 100 km from the mouth of the Yangtze River, it is most favored for the development of ocean shipping. In ancient times, the port, known as Liujia port, was located on the mouth of the Liuhe, a smalltributary of the Yangtze River, east of the present port. During the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), it was an important trading port, famous in the Chinese history especially for the fact that the great Chinese navigator of the early Ming dynasty, Mr. Zheng He (late 14th to early

Train-the-Trainer Course on Energy Efficient Operation of Ships

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) expanded, in 2011, its air emissions control regulations by encouraging energy efficiency and added them to MARPOL Annex VI. To assist national implementation of these new regulations, the IMO-KOICA partnership sponsored the development of a Train-the-Trainer (TTT) project on energy efficient operation of ships. The first project objective was to develop a comprehensive training package, which covers company policy and shipping contracts, port/ship interaction, ship technical solutions and day-to-day ship management. The second objective was to enhance capacity building in developing countries by creating a pool of instructors able to raise awareness in their respective regions using the dedicated training material. During each session, pedagogic support tools backed the content delivery. Forty-one participants from thirty-two countries attended two sessions of the TTT course. The TTT training formula, blending content and pedagogics, demonstrated its efficiency by committing and challenging each participant during the entire course. The outcome of the final day assessment showed that participants captured the essence of the issues and were able to absorb the basics of pedagogy to support the distribution of the training content and spread awareness. Know-how gained through TTT will contribute to the advancement of knowledge in promoting sustainable maritime transport development as advanced by the IMO. It is the authors’ strong belief that the way that the TTT course is designed, developed and delivered provides unique benefits for the participants and their countries.

An intermodal transportation geospatial network modeling for containerized soybean shipping

Containerized shipping is a growing market for agricultural exports,particularly soybeans.In order to understand the optimal strategies for improving the United States’economic competitiveness in this emerging market,this research develops an intermodal transportation network modeling framework,focusing on U.S.soybean container shipments.Built upon detailed modal cost analyses,a Geospatial Intermodal Freight Transportation(GIFT)model has been developed to understand the optimal network design for U.S.soybean exports.Based on market demand and domestic supply figures,the model is able to determine which domestically produced soybeans should go to which foreign markets,and by which transport modes.This research and its continual studies,will provide insights into future policies and practices that can improve the transportation efficiency of soybean logistics.

10th International Workshop on Ship and Marine Hydrodynamics(IWSH 2017)

The 10th International Workshop on Ship and Marine Hydrodynamics （IWSH 2017） will be held in Keelung, Taiwan, China on November 5-8, 2017. It will be a platform for engineers and researchers to keep abreast of the current scientific and technological advancements in hydrodynamics of marine, ship and ocean engineering and other related fields, including theoretical, numerical and experimental aspects.

Call For Paper The 9th International Workshop on Ship and Marine Hydrodynamics

In 1999,the first International Workshop on Ship Hydrodynamics was successfully held in Wuhan,China.Then it was held in Wuhan,Shanghai,Zhenjiang,Harbin,Seoul in subsequent every two years.These Conferences had drawn a variety of international delegates including scientists,engineers and researchers with a common interest in ship hydrodynamics.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND TOPOGRAPHIC INFLUENCES ON ATMOSPHERIC INTERNAL SHIP WAVES

A theoretical model was used to investigate the influences of environmental and topographic parameters on the atmospheric three-layer internal ship waves. The results show that both the wavelength and the wedge angle decrease with an increase in the Scorer parameter, and the rate of changes in the wavelength and wedge angle are also alike. The results also show that the wedge angle decreases with an increase in the width of mountain, but the wavelength varies little with it. It is suggested that the wedge angle is determined by the ratio of the wavelength to the scale of the mountain. Besides, numerical sensitivity experiments were performed to test the former numerical experiments. The simulated results are consistent with the analytical results.
