    One of the main ‘flows’ on transport, are goods (food, objects) that will be traded with other countries. The main improvement that has taken place in recent times is the creation of the freight transport, containerization. These containers can be loaded and unloaded, stacked, transported efficiently over long distances, and transferred from one mode of transport to another—container ships, rail and semi-trailer trucks—without being opened. The system, developed after World War II, led to greatly reduced transport costs, and supported a vast increase in international trade. Because of this increase in trade, containerization has help build a more interconnected world. Better relations are built and more trade is available to ship via this improvement in transport.…

    Demand for dry bulk carriers is determined by the world economy. Over 85% of the capesize vessels are used for shipping iron ore and coal. In a strong economy, production and demand for iron ore and coal increases. In the next few years, Australian production of iron ore is expected to be strong and Indian iron ore exports are expected to grow. These sources of new iron ore supply will increase trading volumes and therefore demand for capesize ships is likely to increase.…

    The shipment size decision is difficult to analyze and to model because of the lack of data. Trade-off between shipment size and operations flexibility depends on key factors: commodity, size and weight, distance, value, desired travel time, costs and service level requirements. In regard to bulk deliveries of items such as iron, steel, cotton, wheat between two destinations – negative effect is observed on large carriers whose logistics dictate to charge clients on “per weight” basis. With each inch of lower water at ports, those carriers lower loads by 1200-1500 tons, which is substantial blow to their earnings and ability to make a delivery in one transaction. This is also not cost-effective from operational perspective – with fuel, labor, HR, insurance cost doubling if another trip is necessary. However, with less weight on the vessel: the speed of delivery, loading, offloading, and insurance cost taken all decrease, thus having a positive effect on the triple bottom line.…

    CTC case study

    • 2492 Words
    • 7 Pages

    CTC’s problem is within its traditional pricing system, with both its inefficiency and lack of flexibility. The worksheets were formatted to show both the “ideal”( unconstrained and realistic ( constrained) circumstances, to analyze them and come for the best possible solution within the boundaries. One big concept that was present in determining which quantities were “optimal” was demand elasticity. Trends were found, and the conclusion that a elasticity with an absolute value of 1, represented an overall revenue maximizing point was discovered. Unfortunately those specific combinations were out of reach due to the fact that they went past the weight capacity of the ships( 24000 tons). Going back to the problem with the pricing strategy, its biggest problem was that in calculating the optimal prices, it took into consideration the weight of cargo and the volume of the port. This meant that for each route, each price or quantity was subject to an individual constraint, and all the other ten routes were not tied to each other in any way. the new pricing model proposed, takes into consideration that there is no individual constraints but rather an overall constraint which is the weight and volume of the ship travelling those routes, so within those constraints what dictates price is the demand. It was clearly stated that 40’ containers were not only preferred but more efficient to be used than 20’ containers, so this new pricing model brings in a higher ratio of the TEU in 40” to 20”, which could not only mean more efficiency , but lower costs in the long run. Finally, while doing the study , it was discovered that the optimal quantities that led to the maximum attainable revenue were not possible to attain due to the overload capacity of the boat, so one of the major recommendations was to loosen the weight constraint during the high season, but also implement a different policy for the…

    Coastal Shipping

    • 2468 Words
    • 10 Pages

    India’s maritime EXIM trade has risen from 544 Mn T in FY 2006 to about 915 Mn T in FY 2011(E) @ CAGR of 11%. In comparison with the overall maritime trade growth, coastal cargo volumes are estimated to have risen by only 5% CAGR between FY06 and FY11E to touch about ~ 160 Mn T. In the past, the flow of bulk goods from west coast hinterlands to the east coast hinterlands always followed the coastal route. For instance, coal from Kolkata was carried in bulk on regular basis by coastal vessels to ports around the country right up to Kandla and Bhavnagar and salt in bulk was carried back to Kolkata either from Kutch ports or Tuticorin. Coastal shipping at a policy level has not received any significant impetus over the past decade because of which the competing modes of transport viz. Rail and Road have been predominant. Primarily the environmental friendliness, safety and cost efficiency makes waterway an interesting and attractive inland transport option as compared to road and rail. Globally, countries such as Japan and USA have realized the cost and environmental advantages of coastal shipping and the percentage of cargo freight moved by this mode is substantially higher as compared to India. Whereas India’s share of coastal shipping amongst modes of domestic freight transport is just 6%, it is 14% in the USA and 30% in China. In case of Inland water ways, share of this mode is less than…
