2. 1. Capacity utilisation in short sea shipping

   Author : Linda Styhre; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sailing schedule; unutilised capacity; improvement measures; Liner short sea shipping; vessel capacity utilisation; route characteristics; strategies;

   Abstract : Shipping is a capital-intensive industry and is characterised by high fixed costs and economies of scale. Trade imbalances and demand variations, market fluctuations and customer demands for high frequency create a situation where shipping companies tend to operate with a high level of unutilised vessel capacity.

   Abstract : Several factors could improve the environmental performance of European short-sea shipping (SSS) and enhance its competitiveness, and in this thesis, some of those factors are explored. The purpose of this thesis is to both explore factors with the potential to improve the environmental sustainability of European SSS and analyse the industry’s competitiveness. READ MORE

5. 3. Analyzing Logistic Requirements using a Systems Engineering Approach - an initial step towards innovative ship design

   Author : Ingar Malmgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; effectiveness; ship design; innovation; logistic requirements; short sea shipping; intermodal transport chain; method development; systems engineering; transportation; performance parameters;

   Abstract : Transport by road is the most dominant mode of transportation in Europe today. An increased use of short sea shipping can balance the European transport system and contribute to a better environmental situation. Accordingly, The European Commission proposes a shift of transported volumes from road to rail and short sea shipping. READ MORE

6. 4. Liner shipping and general cargo transport

   Author : Christopher von Schirach-Szmigiel; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Liner shipping has traditionally dominated international movements of general cargo. This situation was stable from the middle of last to the second half of this century but in the 1960s a new era of economic and political changes led to far-reaching restructuring of the liner industry on short-sea as well as deep-sea markets.
