Background: Autonomous ships have the potential to increase operational efficiency and reduce carbon footprints through technology and innovation. However, there is no comprehensive literature review of all the different types of papers related to autonomous ships, especially with regard to...

This study measures congestion in major container ports and investigates how port characteristics and regional factors influence congestion during the COVID-19 periods. We develop port congestion indicators, including vessel arrivals, vessels staying in a period, waiting time, and service time....

Background: Container terminals (CTs) have constantly administered truck appointment systems (TASs) to effectively accomplish the planning and scheduling of drayage operations. However, since the operations in the gate and yard area of a CT are stochastic, there is a need to incorporate...

The ongoing issues in global supply chain disruptions have raised many concerns of port productivity, among which port congestion is a key issue. This article implements an integrated tactical-operational optimization framework which raises the capabilities of port information systems to deliver...

Dry port has emerged as a critical element of transport infrastructure, eliciting substantial research and investment for its development. The strategic selection of dry port locations not only enhances the effectiveness of connections between seaports and hinterlands but also supports the...

The logistics industry is increasingly prioritizing sustainability, requiring a comprehensive approach to carrier selection for transporting tank containers overseas. Current studies often focus only on economic factors, but social and environmental aspects are also crucial for sustainable...
