Modern technologies provide the optimization, the management, and the automation of the port operation and the logistics processes, hence they create an effective advance which strengthens the port's position among the maritime communities. If it is not enough, they also improve the integration of governing bodies to standardize and harmonize the reporting formalities. Ports have been especially challenged during the COVID - 19 pandemic. The port enterprises, which had dynamically introduced innovative solutions, have maintained their position on the market. This means that innovation is the only way to maintain a high position in the international economy. The aim of the study is to present a review of port technologies, which is based on literature. The article was written in accordance with the method of literature analysis.

The aim of the paper is to analyse the length of time that ships spend in the Port of Gdansk. It is based on the examination of the time when ships come into and leave the port. Source of data used in the study is public web platform - Marine Traffic. Analysis which was conducted, enables to get information about duration of ships servicing in the port with a division into dimension, load capacity and type of the ship. Due to that information, it is possible to observe the duration of complete service for each vessel, including entering the harbour, reloading and the departure. Gained knowledge would allow to forecast, plan and model future development operations more properly. In addition, due to the method based on counting the number of hours that ships spend in the harbour, it is possible to estimate the amount of pollution emitted to the air.

The continuing surge in commercial vessel sizes is putting increasing pressures on the world’s port authorities to adopt effective expansion strategies to ensure that their asset is able to meet growing capacity demands. Among the key challenges is to assure that correct strategic planning and operational measures are adopted to guarantee safe and efficient traffic not only through its shipping channel, but also at the port berthing facilities. DHI and FORCE TECHNOLOGY have collaborated to develop a novel physics-based vessel traffic management system named NCOS ONLINE. It is capable of taking into account of any relevant vessel constraints such as under-keel clearance (UKC), maneuverability and berth configuration that may constrict the movement of vessels through the channel or operability at berth, facilitating scenario planning and capacity assessment of proven unparalleled accuracy. The system incorporates the accuracy of high-end Full Mission Bridge Simulators with regards to vessel response under power and at berth. The underlying computational engines uses a powerful 3D panel method for vessel response calculations in combination with highly detailed environmental data such as wind, waves and hydrodynamics (water level and currents) simulated by use of MIKE Powered by DHI’s recognized and scientific based computational models. The modular and integrated framework-based system has already been adopted by numerous port authorities, terminal operators and pilots worldwide for strategic port planning, design and 24/7 operational vessel traffic management. The paper focus on presenting the underlying equational framework and validation of the underlying physical response engines and provide a brief introduction to how they are integrated and operated through a series of user-friendly web dashboards.

Physical scale models have a large range of application in studies of hydraulic works. In port engineering, they can be used to optimize the general layout of terminals, evaluation of protection structures, simulation of vessel maneuvers and investigation of mooring plans for vessels, among several subjects. Once physical modeling allows a high accuracy in the waves and currents representation as well as their interaction with the bottom and the vessels, the studies of mooring systems in coastal and estuarine ports based on physical modeling tests provide greater reliability in comparison with those grounded on distinct types of models. To highlight the importance of this kind of application, this article presents the case study of the Ponta da Madeira Port (PMP), located in the State of Maranhao, Brazil, developed with the support of the 1:170 scale reduced physical model conceived and calibrated for this area. This study analyzed several alternatives to improve the availability of the northern berth of the Pier III of PMP, including new mooring strategies and the construction of a new improvement structure. The results, which concerned on preliminary tests of the mooring lines tensions, evidenced structural intervention could substantially reduce the risk of mooring lines break, indicating that further investigations concerning different layouts for the improvement structure are promising in order to provide an increase of this berth availability.

Automation and digitalization in logistic processes nowadays increase the complexity of logistic systems (supply networks, terminals and warehouses) and leads to highly linked systems. Their dimensioning as well as start-up and optimization of operational processes require technical assistance today. Simulation is used for understanding the behaviour of the seaport terminal and analysing the interaction of the complex processes at the terminal. This paper will show an investigation of the usage of specific port terminal simulator in the education of logisticians at university. It will show the effects of using simulation within the lessons in respect to the understanding of port operation and port simulation.

In recent years, container ships have had to transport more and more goods due to constantly growing demand. Therefore, the container ships for carrying these goods are growing in size, while the harbors fall short in adapting to these changes. As a result, the berthing of these container ships in harbors has become more challenging for harbor pilots. In this work, we identify problems and risks with which pilots are confronted during the berthing process. First, we analyzed approximately 1500 accident reports from six different transportation safety authorities and identified their major causes. Second, we conducted an ethnographic study with harbor pilots in Hamburg to observe their actions. Third, we gained more specific insights on pilots environments and communications through an online survey of 30 harbor pilots from different European countries. We conclude our work with recommendations on how to reduce problems and risks during berthing of container vessels.

Since there is a tendency that new build vessels are increasing in size, dredging has become an important part of the development and maintenance strategy for ports serving the largest ships. The increase in the technical depth of vessels drives additional development of the entire port. However, the effectiveness of this type of project depends heavily on unrestricted traffic and uninterrupted operation of the terminal. This paper presents a modelling of various type of dredging activities in ports based on an existing work schedule. A tool used to queue work activities with a vacation was used in this effort. The methodology of creating a dredging time schedule in the port area depended mainly on disentangling interference caused by the ship traffic and dredgers trying to work at the same time.

Current development of the maritime transportation system, namely fleet and ports specialization, growth of vessel sizes, rationalization of routs, trade regionalization etc., has made many traditional approaches and calculation techniques practiced for many long years in port design procedures to be inadequate and insufficient. A generally acknowledged tool for this task today is the simulation technique. In the same time, modern object oriented simulation approach provides usually only ad hoc solution for a project. It lacks the generality that was the main and natural feature of its traditional analytical predecessors. Very high time and labor consumption of simulation comes to a conflict with a very narrow scope of the resulting model’s application domain. This paper describes a new approach used to create a simulation tool for the port designers and planners combining the universality and generality of the analytical (so called “static”) methods with the efficiency and accuracy of the object-oriented simulation. The concept represented in the paper was implemented in the software product, which enabled to conduct experiments that proved the validity and adequacy of the model. The simulation tool was used in several sea port design project and now is a common instrument of several leading port design and consulting company in Russian Federation.
