This paper deals with intermodal transportation of goods from Europe to the United States. The main objective is the development of a mathematical model called Transatlantic multi-mode container routing problem. It provides a tool for network optimization in transportation science. The developed model enables users to determine the optimal collaborative routing in a network system…
Interaction between freshwater and seawater can significantly influence marine life and create important productive and dynamic natural habitats, such as estuaries. We study such processes and for this purpose we develop a new mathematical model with the system of coupled nonlinear conservation equations that govern the interaction of the two incompressible fluids with different properties.…
Problematika prirodnih potencijala uvijek je interdisciplinarna. Tu činjenicu prihvaća i ovo istraživanje jer, za Hrvatsku izuzetno važan potencijal, pomorsko dobro, promatra s pravnoga i ekonomskog aspekta. Pomorsko dobro ima izuzetan značaj jer predstavlja temelj razvoja hrvatskog turizma, posebice kapaciteta nautičkog turizma u kojem zasad ne sudjeluju sportske luke. Najave promjene statusa dijela sportske luke u…
Otok Hvar jedan je od najvećih hrvatskih otoka. Pripada srednjodalmatinskim otocima te se pruža u pravcu I-Z, što je posljedica promjene u miocenskoj neotektonskog etapi. Prirodno-geografske značajke otoka Hvara odraz su geografskog smještaja i položaja otoka, njegove veličine i prostornog obuhvata, glavnih geoloških i geomorfoloških značajki, morfografskih i morfometrijskih obilježja te osnovnih klimatsko-vegetacijskih, hidrogeografskih i…
Upravljanje kontejnerskim transportom, s krajnjim ciljem optimizacije troškova poslovanja, stalna je težnja suvremenih kontejnerskih (mega i feeder) brodara. Osnovnu obračunsku jedinicu uspješnosti poslovanja brodara predstavlja putovanje broda. Brodari kao temeljni cilj imaju optimizaciju troškova putovanja kontejnerskog broda-matice i/ili feeder broda. Optimizacija troškova putovanja kontejnerskog broda, temeljena na posebnome funkcionalnom modelu, u izravnoj je funkciji uspješnosti…
The paper deals with a description of potential options of the Adriatic Sea ports. It characterizes the importance of international trade in ports on the Adriatic Seanorthern coast, particularly with a focus on the port of Rijeka. This paper also outlines statements that the position of this port would be strengthened by itsinterconnectingwith the Rail…
The paper deals with applications of methods of spherical geometry in naval navigation. It summarises the essential knowledge of spherical geometry and presents some exercises and their solutions. These exercises can be applied in explanations of the basic principles of naval navigation
The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments was adopted in February 2004 and it was ratified by a sufficient number of countries in September 2016. The most important part of the Convention is Regulation D-2. One way to meet D-2 is to retrofit Ballast Water Treatment Systems (BWTS)…
Nowadays, the reduction of the harmful effect on the environment is one of the essential state-level and international challenges. The solution of this problem lies in a worldwide use of concepts and principles of sustainable development, but also in transport and logistics performance by principles and methods of green logistics. The first part of the…
Russia has a rich centuries-old tradition of naval and civilian shipbuilding. Upon the end of the ideological confrontation, the competition of the main sea-faring nations of the world took on the new and at the same time – more traditional form for the market economy. The global economic crisis and the decrease of the freight…
