This document summarizes a presentation given at Netherlands Maritime University on opportunities for synchromodal solutions in Rotterdam and its hinterland. The presentation discusses how Rotterdam has expanded physically over time to accommodate increasing shipping volumes. It also describes challenges around utilizing infrastructure better and reducing costs and pollution. Examples are provided of initiatives that cluster cargo flows and use alternative transport modes like rail and barge to reduce road congestion. Integrated information systems and cooperation between stakeholders are identified as important success factors for efficient synchromodal transport networks. The role of various players like port authorities, transport companies and shippers is also discussed.
To improve the quality of the access to and from the hinterland, several new concepts are presented and implemented by seaports. One of these concepts is Synchromodal Freight Transport. In this presentation, a clear definition of Synchromodality is presented and the set of decisions needed for the design and operation of a synchromodal freight transport systems is discussed.
I gave this presentation to the department Technology and Operations Management to explain my thoughts on how sea ports act in global supply chains through organisational, logistics, and information networks.
Trade Corridors and Multimodal Transport Corridors in EuropeParadigma Consulting
Trans European Networks (TEN-T) illustrate the concept of trade corridors. The Baltic-Adriatic Corridor in particular which extends to the Nordic countries as well as to the Eastern Mediterranean exemplifies the challenges and promises of such networks.
Multimodal transport is essentially an international through-transport combination with various modes of transport such as ship, rail, truck, airplane, etc., primarily through the use of containers.
Multimodal Transport: Where the carrier organising the transport takes responsibility for the entire door-to-door transport and issues a multimodal transport document.
A multimodal transport operator (MTO) acts as a principal and therefore as a “carrier”, because the MTO contracts with the shipper to carry goods by one or more modes of transport as may be necessary. The MTO has accepted total responsibility and liability to perform the transport contract; he has become the sole interface point for the shipper’s transport function.

The study looked at four off-dock terminals at Tema port using Data Envelopment Analysis to determine
and analyze the efficiency changes using panel data from 2015-2018. The DEA model has commonly been used in
the port sector. DEA window analysis is used to determine the efficiency of ports and to observe the possibility of
changes in the port efficiency over time. labour, forklifts, reach stackers, trucks, and the terminal storage area
were employed as input variables and container throughput as an output variable. Inclusion A.P Moller Terminal
showed the highest efficiency result event its labour variable was less efficient compared to other selected
terminals understudy. On the other hand, Tema Container terminal found to be the least efficient port obtaining
the lowest average efficiency rating over the period under study. Findings from this study showed that some
terminals had excess equipment as well as excess labour. And for these terminals to maintain constant and
improving efficiency, there would need to cut down some labour and also lease out unused equipment.

Masterclass Port Authorities in International PerspectiveMaurice Jansen
In recent years port authorities in the Hamburg-Le-Havre range have actively pursued internationalisation strategies, due in no small part to the evolving role of port authorities.
More and more port authorities consider themselves as network companies aiming to create value for their customers by developing chains, networks and clusters both in Europe and in emerging markets worldwide.
In this masterclass Peter de Langen and Marc Evertse explore the boundaries of the port authority in their quest to add value to their customers’ supply chain and deliver strategic value to their stakeholders at home.
Societal implications of economies of scale in liner shipping by Maurice JansenMaurice Jansen
Year-on-year growth in TEU capacity has led to overcapacity and deterioration of freight rates.
Industry watchers wonder whether a container ship will ever reach a maximum size at all. Does this make sense for the owner or operator? Does it make sense from a society as a whole?
Masterclass Our Oceans Challenge / Thursday 23 February 2017Maurice Jansen
The theme of the Masterclass of Thursday 23 February centered around Our Oceans Challenge, a crowdsourcing initiative of a number of leading Dutch maritime and offshore companies and knowledge partners. The aim is to generate as much as feasible ideas towards five major challenges. In two sequential masterclasses, approximately 100 students and young professionals of Rotterdam Mainport University, Netherlands Maritime University and YoungShip Rotterdam engaged in brainstorm sessions leading to concrete ideas. All of these activities were then posted on the online crowdsourcing platform.
World oceans cover roughly 70% of planet and provide thè source of live on Earth. Following the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) the seabed area and its mineral resources are declared as the heritage of mankind. Despite or maybe because of the common right of access to the sea and its resources, our oceans are under pressure. Ecosystems are slow to recover because of exploitation from activities onshore, offshore or from relentless fishery. And yet, it provides for millions and millions of people’s quality of life, employment and existence. Our Oceans Challenge (OOC) believes that despite the challenges, there are opportunities to balance ocean protection with the responsible use and exploitation of ocean space and resources. OOC calls upon the industry to show its responsibility and time to generate breakthrough ideas. The aim is to accelerate innovative and sustainable ideas into viable business.
As an introduction Dr Luc Cuyvers - with his passion for the sea and track record as a documentary maker, author and ocean and marine researcher – provided the audience with an anthology of the issues that he has witnessed in the past 35 to 40 years in his career. Subsequently to Cuyvers’ introduction presentation, Mattijs Bolk, one of the driving forces behind OOC explained how this crowdsourcing initiative started. The ambition is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, especially Living Oceans. Heerema Contractors took this open innovation initiative last year and this year invited other offshore contractors, knowledge partners and launch partners to join. The biggest challenge for the industry is to develop sustainable business models.
With these challenges students and young maritime professionals went along and engaged in creative brainstorming process, facilitated by people from Our Oceans Challenge. The workshop outputs consisted of various rough ideas that were immediately posted on the OOC open innovation platform. Good ideas are taken further in this platform, enriched with the expertise, insights and thoughts of other industry specialists. From the current 111 ideas, the best ideas will be taken into the development phase, and accelerate into ready-to-use business solutions. All students who are active on the platform will be able to follow how these ideas find its ways to a sustainable offshore industry.

Port paradoxes; what are the paradoxes in the port landscape?Maurice Jansen
Many port-cities around the world have presented ambitious port expansion plans to bridge the infrastructure gap as a way to gear up their economies. At the same time, many ports are troubled by heavy congestion, labour disputes, scarcity of land, negative public opinion, environmental degradation and a fight for talent. Existing models of problem solving and solution design start from a bargaining position, which usually ends up in a trade-off. The value of paradox thinking lies in the acknowledgement that problems are surrounded with ambiguity. Such a mind-set can trigger creativity, out-of-the box thinking, organisational learning and co-operation which can resolve complicated issues. What paradoxes are we facing in the port landscape and how can this creative tension trigger renewal and innovation?
Masterclass Unmanned vessels - vice and virtue for shipping industry?Maurice Jansen
Technological developments relating to unmanned vessels and drones are rapidly progressing. Ship technology companies are already foresee unmanned vessels sailing the world oceans within the forthcoming 10 years. On a smaller scale, more and more start-up companies are experimenting with drone technology as a means to monitor and assess water quality and clean up port basins. In this Masterclass we give insights in what we can expect from the technological developments ahead, and seek answers to the most challenging questions: when can we see the first unmanned vessels entering our ports, what does this means from a legal point of view and to what extent does it require international and national laws and regulations to change?

In a mature port cluster, conflicting interests are usually accommodated in the sense of a settlement of differences. This approach suggests that the quality of cluster performance us a product of the bargaining society. The question is whether bargaining is effective for solving the highly complex challenges of today? It is certainly not the most constructive one. This presentation covers the paradoxes in the port landscape, the existing paradigms towards issue management as well as an alternative approach based on organisational learning, knowledge sharing and collaborative action.

Ship technology companies expect unmanned ships to set sail in less than 10 years from now. On a smaller scale, research is done on drone vessels for various use. What can we expect from this trend? When will we see the first unmanned ship enter the port? What does it mean for the international laws of the seas and for nautical services companies in port, such as for pilots, tugs and VTS services? Our speakers will explore the vice and virtues of unmanned vessels
Masterclass 16 april 2015: Port Innovation: the internet of things Maurice Jansen
On 16th of April, STC-NMU organised a Masterclass for students and young port professionals on the implications of internet of things for the ports and logistics sector. What is it and is it really changing the port and logistics
industry? Speakers from PortBase, UTi Worldwide and RDM Centre of Expertise explored how the connected world is changing the logistics landscape and how it can make supply chains smarter, better and more reliable.
Based on the discussion that followed after the speakers presented their part, innovation on the basis of IoT is not so much a technology issue, but more a matter of innovation of new business models. These propositions will have to be built upon trust and mutual benefits between partners, which will unlock the true value of data in the supply chain.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
