The article presents the results of the study into the dynamic load of the container during its transportation by the train ferry. The peculiarity of the container is that its walls are made of sandwich panels. Such a solution will help to reduce the dynamic loads acting on the container at operating load modes, including when transported by sea as part of combined trains. To determine the dynamic loads acting on the container, a mathematical model was build that took into account the angular displacements around the longitudinal axis of the system “train ferry – flat wagon – container – freight”. The calculations were made for the train ferry Geroi Plevny. The mathematical model was solved in MathCad. It was found that the value of acceleration acting on the container of the proposed design during transportation by sea was 4.3% lower than that acting on the container of a typical design. The acceleration value obtained, as a component of the dynamic load, was taken into account to determine the stability coefficient of the container in a typical diagram of its interaction with the flat wagon. The roll angle of the train ferry, at which the stability of the container placed on the flat wagon is ensured, was also calculated. The results of the study will contribute to the database of recommendations for the design of modern container structures and their safe operation in international rail and water traffic.
In recent years, various types of commerce including transport have suffered significant damage and costs due to cyber-attacks. The geographic scope of freight transportation has no boundaries, attacks can be launched almost anywhere there is an Internet connection. Therefore, there is no immunity from the failure of computer systems and information of delivery processes in the networks of organizations and companies engaged in maritime transportation. In addition, while the consequences of cyber-attacks on major shipping lines and ports, as well as the digital systems of logistics companies, can be comprehensively analyzed, the vulnerability of ships remains insufficiently studied. This paper offers an analysis of the risks in the field of maritime freight transport and the main factors of influence such as digitization on the safety of the transport process. The basic threats to the information system of the ship are defined and the techniques of risk analysis for the ship information security is proposed.
