Het doel van deze studie is om inzicht te verkrijgen in de ontwikkelingen in de binnenvaarttanksector. In een onderzoek naar drogeladingvloot (van Hassel, 2013), werd er vastgesteld dat er sprake is van een zeer grote capaciteitsopbouw van laadvermogen. Deze opbouw vond vooral plaats in het...

De drogeladingvloot in de binnenvaart is van 2007 tot 2013 zeer sterk toegenomen in laadcapaciteit (+20%), terwijl de hoeveelheid vervoerde vracht is afgenomen ten opzichte van 2008 (-10%). In dit artikel wordt uiteengezet hoe deze toename aan capaciteit is ontstaan en er wordt er aangegeven wat...

The main objective of this paper is ‘to assess the conditions, including policy support, under which innovative concepts have a high chance of getting adopted and being successful’. The work will start from the state-of-the-art with the following goals targeted. Firstly, to identify the...

Spurred by the expanding bulk shipping and technological innovations, dry bulk vessels have gained considerable development in ship types, ship design, and operation since the invention of the first specialized dry bulk carrier in the early 1950s. However, questions like: what changes in...

One of the most important decisions for ship owners is to build an optimal ship for a specific business. That often corresponds to finding the optimal ship dimension speed and capacity. This article therefore attempts to construct an interactive logistic scheme including three basic systems,...
