Dalian Port's Container Logistics System: Strategy Study

경제의 글로벌화에 따라 전세계 컨테이너 물동량은 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 특히, 중국은 WTO 에 가입하면서 컨테이너 물동량이 급증하였다. 이에 따라, 중국은 증가하는 수요를 충족시키기 위하여 컨테이너 터미널 개발에 박차를 가하고 있다. 이는 이미 항만이 지역사회에 미치는 경제적인 영향이 크다는 것을 내포하고 있다. 이 논문은 북중국의 대표적인 항만인 대련항의 배후지와 이와 관련된 경제적 발전을 다루고 있다. 먼저, 대련항의 현황을 살펴보고 비교분석을 통하여 장단점을 분석한다. 또한, 대련항의 컨테이너 복합운송시스템의 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어 측면을 바탕으로, 2010 년까지 대련항의 컨테이너 물동량을 예측하였다. 이예측치를 기준으로, 2010 년 대련항의 컨테이너 하역 능력을 검토하였다. 마지막으로 이러한 분석을 통해 대련항의 물류시스템 발전을 위한 목표 설정 및 미래 전략을 계획하고 대응책 및 시사점을 제시하였다.The container transportation of China will have great development, due to the growth of the Chinese economy, globalization process, and joining the WTO. With the increase of handling capacity of container terminal，it puts forward some new demand for container delivery system. As a main port in North China，Dalian port becomes to play a great role in the national economy and social development. This thesis analyses the hinterland range of Dalian port and its economic development. On the base of the hardware and software of container transport system of Dalian port, this thesis aims to forecast scientifically the container handling capacity of Dalian port up to 2010. It refers to the planning of container transportation of Dalian port at 2010. Moreover，it discusses both advantages and problems of Dalian port，assumes the future strategy and overall target, and puts forward some useful countermeasures and suggestions for logistics development of Dalian port.Chapter 1 Introduction = 1 11 Background and Objective = 1 12 Method and Structure = 3 Chapter 2 The Condition and Problem of Dalian Port ‘s Container Transport Systems = 4 21 The Position of Dalian Port among Chinese Ports = 4 211 The Position of Dalian Port = 4 212 Dalian Port Facilities = 6 22 The Problem of Dalian Port Container Inland Transport System = 7 221 Economic Limitations = 7 222 The Furious Competition of Peripheral Ports = 8 223 Under Development of the Modern Logistics = 8 224 Limitations at Hinterland Distribute Systems = 9 Chapter 3 Analysis of Dalian Port’s Competition = 10 31 Current Condition of Foreign Major Ports = 10 311 Pusan Port = 10 312 Kwangyang Port = 11 313 Tokyo Port = 11 314 Yokohama Port = 12 315 Kobe Port = 12 32 Survey of the Main Domestic Competition = 14 321 Tianjin Port = 14 322 Qingdao Port = 14 323 Analysis of Dalian, Qingdao and Tianjin Port = 15 33 Competitors’ Comparison Result = 17 Chapter 4 The Forecast of Dalian Port Container Throughput = 20 41 Qualitative Analysis of Dalian Port’s Container Cargo Volume = 20 411 Dalian Port’s Foreign Trade Container Volume = 20 412 Dalian Port’s DomesticTrade Container Quantity = 21 413 The Prospect of Dalian Container Volume = 22 42 The Forecast of Dalian Port’s Container Throughput = 22 421 MGM(1,n) Mode = l22 422 Prediction of Dalian Port’s Container Throughput = 30 423 Analysis of the Forecasting Data = 31 Chapter 5 The Strategic Plan of Dalian Port = 32 51 The Determination of Strategic Target = 32 52 Strategic Points = 33 521 Strongly Develop Container Handling Capability = 34 522 Speed Up the Deep-water Port Berth Construction = 34 523 Speed Up the Harbor Layout Adjustment and Functional Transformation = 35 524 Enlarge the Intensity of Management Innovation = 35 525 Push System Reform Actively = 36 53 Strategic Development Stage = 36 Chapter 6 Conclusion = 38 61 The Key Problem Encountered in Dalian Port’s Development = 38 62 The Measures for Dalian Port Future Development = 39 63 Some Policies for Dalian = 41 References = 4

Route planning of automated guided vehicles for container logistics

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are widely used in container terminals for the movement of material from shipping to the yard area and vice versa. Research in this area is directed toward the development of a path layout design and routing algorithms for container movement. The problem is to design a path layout and a routing algorithm that will route the AGVs along the bi-directional path so that the distance traveled will be minimized. This thesis presents a bi-directional path flow layout and a routing algorithm that guarantee conflict-free, shortest time routes for AGVs. Based on the path layout, a routing algorithm and sufficient, but necessary conditions, mathematical relationships are developed among certain key parameters of vehicle and path. A high degree of concurrency is achieved in the vehicle movement. The routing efficiency is analyzed in terms of the distance traveled and the time required for AGVs to complete all pickup and drop-off jobs. Numerical results are presented to compare performance of the proposed model. The research provides the foundation for a bi-directional path layout design and routing algorithms that will aid the designer to develop complicated path layouts

Optimization of empty container movements using street-turn: Application to Valencia hinterland

Empty maritime container logistics is one of the most relevant costs for shipping companies. In this paper two mathematical models (based on two different container movement patterns, i.e. with and without street-turns) were defined to optimize land empty container movements among shippers, consignees, terminals and depots, along with minimizing storage costs. One of the proposed optimization models was embedded in a simple Decision Support System (DSS) and then tested with real data, based on the operations in Valencia s (Spain) hinterland. The results obtained confirm the benefits of implementing these kinds of models for the company, and additional experiments assess and quantify the advantage of using the more complex approach that is able to implement street-turn patterns.This research has been funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through Grant DPI2010-16201 and FEDER.Furió, S.; Andrés Romano, C.; Adenso Díaz, B.; Lozano Segura, S.
