Container terminals in river ports

This paper deals with some problems concerning development concepts and equipment of container terminals in river ports, especially for Serbian ports located on river Danube. Paper discusses comparative data concerning transshipment and flow of containers in selected relevant European ports. The research focuses on the development of Serbian container terminals as parts of logistic systems and gives the basic concepts that should be the basis for river ports terminals in future. Results of simulation model of terminal are presented for two developed concepts terminals. The paper presents the analysis of technical parameters of quayside container crane suitable for Serbian river terminals as a principal subsystem in the whole terminal system, and also gives the proposal for crane’s structure, kinematics of reeving, lifting capacity and some preliminary control tests

Analysis of the potential of the Port of Novi Sad to become a new container terminal on Danube

This paper discusses the possibility the establish and construct a new container terminal in the Port of Novi Sad which has regional and international importance and good geographical position, located in the Serbian Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. The provided analysis presents current container flows in Serbia and the forecast for the next 5 and 10 years (including three scenarios: realistic, pessimistic and optimistic), at first for the whole country, but later on the analysis was focused on the Danube gravitating regions in Serbia and finally to the existing Port of Novi Sad in order to evaluate its potential to become a logistics center. It was concluded that the construction of a new container terminal in the Port of Novi Sad on the Danube aims to bring about a significant change in the container transport system in Serbia, but also in the region or the Danube countries

Analysis of the potential of Serbia to transport containers on Danube

This paper deals with problems and possible solutions for the improvement of container transport of Serbia by using Danube as a waterway. Given the geographical position in relation to the Danube, Serbia has a sufficient number of ports on this river, which could be an element of further development of the economy and therefore can be considered as a great potential. An analysis of import and export of container that was done in this paper indicates that Serbia has substantial potential to transport containers on Danube. Consequently, there are sufficient justifications for the design and construction of a modern container terminal on the Danube which will connected Serbia with main Europian ports and which will contribute to the further progress of the Serbian economy
