Application Of Fuzzy Critical Path Method To Airports Cargo Ground Operation Systems, Tzeu-Chen Han, Cheng-Chi Chung, Gin-Shuh Liang Dec 2006

Application Of Fuzzy Critical Path Method To Airports Cargo Ground Operation Systems, Tzeu-Chen Han, Cheng-Chi Chung, Gin-Shuh Liang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

To cut down cost in a competitive environment, airlines must avoid delays and operation inefficiencies in both airside and landside. However, previous studies have paid little attention to an airlines’ ground operation in airports’ cargo terminals. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how to employ the Fuzzy Critical Path method (CPM) to find out airport’s ground critical operation processes and improve. The result of this study suggests redesigning airports’ cargo handling processes can improve airlines’ freight service performance in terms of freight handling speed, cargo service quality, and freight handling cost in hub airports.

Comparison Between Arpa Radar And Ais Characteristics For Vessel Traffic Services, Bin Lin, Chih-Hao Huang Dec 2006

Comparison Between Arpa Radar And Ais Characteristics For Vessel Traffic Services, Bin Lin, Chih-Hao Huang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

Recently most maritime countries in the world have fitted automatic identification system (AIS) in vessel traffic services (VTS) in compliance with regulations of International Convention in order to identify ship name and collect ship information. Traditionally VTS operators use automatic radar plotting aids (ARPA) to get ship maneuvering information for preventing ships from navigational faults. Although the two equipments can provide similar functions for VTS, the operational theory of them is quite different. In this study an experimental observation was carried out by means of ARPA radar and AIS fitted in the building of Merchant Marine Department, NTOU. The detected …

Behavior Of Ship Officers In Maneuvering To Prevent A Collision, Bin Lin Sep 2006

Behavior Of Ship Officers In Maneuvering To Prevent A Collision, Bin Lin

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

In recent years, increased ship size and traffic density have heightened the risk for collision. When a ship is exposed to such a risk, the officer in charge must take evasive actions appropriate with the circumstances to prevent this from happening. Such actions shall comply with the International Regulations for Preventing Collision at Sea. However, violations of the regulations can usually be found in collision cases. This study is focused on the actions of the officers in charge, and whether or not they obey the rules of the regulations, and what are the reasons for navigational faults. The assessment is …

An Evaluation Of Strategic Alliances In Liner Shipping-An Empirical Study Of Ckyh, Hua-An Lu, James Cheng, Tai-Shen Lee Sep 2006

An Evaluation Of Strategic Alliances In Liner Shipping-An Empirical Study Of Ckyh, Hua-An Lu, James Cheng, Tai-Shen Lee

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

The activities of alliances between liner carriers have increased intensively since the last decade, satisfying a whole new requirement of shippers stemmed from the industrial globalization. The development of strategic alliances is very important to the liner industry, especially based on a perspective of the booming market–Asia. For finding co-operative niches, possible disadvantages, successful factors, and the future development of the alliance co-operation, the investigation in this paper focused on members of the CKYH, a potential strategic alliance group with four major carriers in Asia. We employed the Delphi method to conduct two rounds of survey for procuring the consensus …

Applying Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process In Location Mode Of International Logistics On Airports Competition Evaluation, Shu-Chen Lin, Te-Yan Liang, Kuo-Liang Lee Mar 2006

Applying Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process In Location Mode Of International Logistics On Airports Competition Evaluation, Shu-Chen Lin, Te-Yan Liang, Kuo-Liang Lee

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

This paper has three, main objectives: (a) the establishment of competitiveness criteria for the location mode of the airport; (b) this study first divides international logistics into two stages and four modes of development categories from the viewpoint of value-added. Then, the evaluation criteria for transshipment mode and re-processing export mode are established; (c) and integrates Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) approach to the international competition level for a comparative analysis of the suitable location mode of each airport (Chiang Kai Shek, Hong Kong, and Singapore’s Changi International Airport). The empirical results indicate that the proposed method can be used …

Against Marine Risk: Margins Determination Of Ocean Marine Insurance, Chien-Chung Nieh, Yi-Lin Jiang Mar 2006

Against Marine Risk: Margins Determination Of Ocean Marine Insurance, Chien-Chung Nieh, Yi-Lin Jiang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

As the origin of modern insurance, ocean marine insurance exhibits numerous distinctive characteristics compared with the rest of the property/casualty insurances. This paper originally investigates the determination of the underwriting margin of ocean marine insurance, which is the crucial component of the ocean marine insurance price. Focused on industry-wide level, earlier studies ignored the time series characteristics of underwriting margin to utilize conventional regression, or employed time series methods but were limited with the stationary property of variables. Consistent with prior empirical studies despite of whether considerable variables have unit roots, an ARDL approach for underwriting margins in U.S. ocean …
