Needs of SSS System in NE Asia

European short sea shipping has achieved great success for last 15 years to shift cargos from road transport

Road congestion results increase of transport cost & air pollution in Europe

Short Sea Shipping is recognized as best practices for users, operators, regulators and infrastructure providers of C-J-K region

Loading

Depth Reducing for loading of barge into the under-deck cargo hold• Pumping out water from the ballast tanks to adjust the height of barge carrier to accommodate the floating barge into the lower cargo hold • Floating and fixing of the barge in cargo hold

Larger Cargo Hold of Barge Carrier

Advantage:Direct floating-in of barge fleet into the carrier

Disadvantage:Great free surface with nagative influence on the ship stability

Types of Mobile Floating Structures

1. Mobile floating ports/terminals

- implementing the nodal point of global and short sea shipping for efficient logistics system - IT based design of future logistics process before implementation

2. Floating Airport

3. Artificial Island : concept for ocean living & tourism

4. Sea based support Platform

- The need for amphibious operations

Strategies in support of its Initiatives

- Understanding scope and complexity of implementation- Lack of internal expertise to implement virtualization- Anticipated costs of implementing virtualization- Demonstrating ROI for virtualization

Challenges in defining and implementing

- Determine need for virtualization- Develop virtualization strategy- Consolidate applications and data- System management and technologies- Safety & Security- VTMIS, EDI, e-Port Clearance, Standardization, etc.

Major Fields for Design and Construction

Structure Mechanics

- Loading and structure response analysis - Safety and reliability of the structures, etc.

Hydrodynamics

- Analysis of relative motion between structure and ships during operation conditions, etc.

Automation & Crane Technology

- Operation of container cranes in the balanced conditions - Energy management system of the structures

Structure Lifetime Management

- Cost-Profit-Analysis
