Major differences between Intermodal and Multimodal transportation of goods by Aroon Aimen, Senior Advisor in Canadian Department of AC Freight Singapore.
1. Shipping has a long history in Africa, dating back to 3000 BC when ancient Egyptians assembled wooden planks for transport.
2. Shipping in Africa has evolved from merchant-dominated operations until the 19th century to today's multi-billion dollar, highly diversified industry integral to African and global trade.
3. Key challenges facing the shipping industry in Africa include piracy, pollution, wildlife collisions, and inefficient ports, though reforms have improved efficiency in many countries.
Difference between intermodal shipping and multimodal shippingHirfan Ullah
Multimodal: Multimodal transport (also known as combined transport) is the transportation of goods under a single contract, but performed with at least two different means of transport; the carrier is liable (in a legal sense) for the entire carriage, even though it is performed by several different modes of transport (by rail, sea and road, for example). The carrier does not have to possess all the means of transport, and in practice usually does not; the carriage is often performed by sub-carriers (referred to in legal language as “actual carriers”). The carrier responsible for the entire carriage is referred to as a multimodal transport operator, or MTO.
Intermodal: Intermodal freight transport involves the transportation of freight in an intermodal container or vehicle, using multiple modes of transportation (rail, ship, and truck), without any handling of the freight itself when changing modes. The method reduces cargo handling, and so improves security, reduces damage and loss, and allows freight to be transported faster. Reduced costs over road trucking is the key benefit for inter-continental use. This may be offset by reduced timings for road transport over shorter distances.

The Navy has included aircraft as an essential resource for over 100 years since shortly after the Wright brothers' first flight. Early aircraft were used for scouting from some ships in 1911, and aircraft carriers that planes could take off and land on were developed by the mid-1920s. The Navy currently operates around 3,000 manned aircraft of various types, including attack planes, command aircraft, and helicopters, though not all are based on aircraft carriers. While some aircraft focus on delivering firepower, the Navy also conducts humanitarian missions. Supporting naval air operations requires not just pilots but over 2,500 personnel per air wing including maintenance crews, weapons specialists, and aircrews.
The Indian shipping industry plays an important role in India's economy as 90% of its international trade is conducted by sea. India has over 1000 ships engaged in coastal and overseas trade. The top shipping companies control 70% of total tonnage, while many smaller companies have just 1-2 ships. India has a long coastline and over 200 ports, with Mumbai being the largest handling 50% of exports. Major reforms are underway to modernize India's shipping industry and ports to better support the country's trade and economic growth.

3.2 - The Cruise Ship Capacity and Economics.pdfRamonJrTiongco
The document discusses how cruise ship size is determined. Cruise ship capacity is expressed as the total number of passengers and crew. Dimension is measured by length, width, and draft. Tonnage is calculated by dividing a ship's enclosed volume by 100 cubic feet. Ships are also categorized by size based on gross tonnage and passenger capacity as small, midsize, large, and mega. The economics of cruising include ticket sales and on-board purchases such as excursions, food and drinks, shops, services, and entertainment.

AN ANALYSIS ON SEABORNE VESSEL TRAFFIC & ECONOMY | Maritime Studies Prayag Mohanty
Maritime trade is an activity that involves the transportation of goods and people on a body of water. It used to be conducted by ships traveling on open seas, but with the advent of globalization, seaways have become more bustling. The global economy has evolved into a massive interdependent system where all countries participate in many facets of our lives. One way for this system to function effectively is for each country to have a strong maritime industry which is capable of offering food products and energy sources, as well as creating jobs.
To find the answer to the question – How do they contribute to more trade, investments and opportunities? We have used our own analysis methods to analyze cargo and tanker traffic data over 14 days and over two years. Also, it is evident that when comparing containerized cargo and tanker movements conveyed by vessels of different sizes (from bulk carrier to container vessel) both have various advantages like enhanced speed (containerized cargo), reduced turnaround time (containerized cargo), etc.
The document discusses the process of marine insurance underwriting. Underwriters evaluate the risks that ship owners may face during marine activities. They determine the appropriate insurance coverage, premiums, and whether to accept the risk. Underwriting involves measuring risk exposure and setting a premium to insure that risk. The underwriter's role is to protect the insurance company by only insuring risks that are unlikely to result in losses, while setting premiums that appropriately reflect the risk exposure.

Other Means of Transportation
Truck Transportation
In many parts of the world, trucking is a vital way of shipping internationally.
In some areas of the world, it represents 100 percent of the international traffic.
In others, it is a lower percentage, but trucking is still a significant part of the international traffic volume.
Importantly, though, trucking is almost always the mode of transportation for the “first mile” and the “last mile” of a shipment’s itinerary.
Truck Transportation
The critical issues for a shipper using truck transportation are the many different national rules and regulations that govern truck transportation. These rules influence:
The weight that can be placed in the truck
The hours that the truck can operate
The size of the equipment that can be used
The number of hours a driver may work
The training that a driver must have
These differences make for very different trucking practices from country to country.
A European truck is limited to an overall length. The tractor is compact to allow for maximum trailer size.
North American trucks are limited by the size of the trailer, with no constraints on the size of the tractor.
Australian trucks have fewer limitations on the number of trailers, leading to the concept of “road-trains.”
North American trailers are carried over long distances by “piggy-back” trains.
In Switzerland, regulations do not allow international trucks to cross the country. They are transported by piggy-back trains from one border to the other.
In India, congested roads encourage truckers to use piggy-back trains on some routes.
In many developing countries, the maximum weight capacities of trucks are routinely exceeded.
Rail Transportation
Rail transportation is also an important mode of transportation for international shipments, although it is mostly a domestic mode for the United States.
Nevertheless, a significant amount of cargo moves by rail in the U.S. In 2012, more than 40 percent of all ton-miles shipped long-distance in the U.S. was shipped by rail.
Rail transport has an approximate 18 percent market share for international cargo movements in the European Union when measured in FTKs.
Rail Transportation
Rail transportation is dominated by three issues:
The ownership of the railroad, which can be private (the United States) or public (most of the remainder of the world).
The infrastructure, such as issues of gauge (width of the tracks), electrification, curves, maintenance, and so on, which dictates the types of goods shipped and the speed at which they are delivered.
The relationship between passenger traffic and merchandise traffic, and which has priority over the other. In the U.S., merchandise traffic has priority, in many other countries, it’s passenger traffic that has priority.

The document discusses the operations and strategies of Damen Shipyards Group, a major Dutch shipbuilding company. It details how Damen has adapted to competition from lower-cost countries by focusing on specialized, high-tech ships and investing in research and development as well as workforce training. Despite competition, Damen has grown to be one of Europe's largest shipbuilding groups through its standardized designs, economies of scale, and ability to steer toward success.
The document summarizes the history and development of container shipping and the liner shipping industry. It describes how container shipping began in the 1950s and grew to transport about 60% of internationally shipped goods by value by sea. It outlines the benefits of liner shipping such as efficiency in transporting large volumes of cargo internationally and its role in powering global economic activity and trade. It also notes the formation of strategic shipping alliances between major carriers to optimize networks and costs.
The document discusses various modes of international cargo transportation. It introduces maritime transport, air transport, railway transport, and road transport as the main modes. Each mode has different requirements and features that suit different types of freight. The modes can compete or complement each other based on factors like cost, speed, and safety. Maritime transport is then discussed in more detail, covering topics like liner transport, shipping by chartering, and liner freight rates and surcharges.
Shipping plays a vital role in international business by enabling the transport of goods between countries cost effectively. The demand for shipping is derived from the demand for international trade as nearly 90% of global trade by volume is carried on ships. Advances in ship size have increased economies of scale, lowering transport costs. Container ships now carry over 23,000 containers, up from 1,000 in early containerships. The Port of Colombo is a major hub, handling over 1 million TEUs of imports and 300,000 TEUs of exports annually, demonstrating Sri Lanka's importance in global trade flows.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.

Chargeable weight is an important factor :
Sea Freight 1000 KGS = 1 Cubic Meter
Air Freight 1000 KGS = 6 Cubic Meter
Air Freight is approximately 10 x more expensive
port to port but could be only 3 x more expensive
door to door on some routes !
With very tight schedules and obligation to
honor airport slots, Air Freight tends to have a
higher reliability ratio than Sea Freight.
There are 23'600 aircraft in operation while
over 50'000 ships are trading internationally.
There are about 49 Landlocked countries
with no direct access to international waters.
Air Freight operates through more than
17'678 airports while Sea Freight through
more than 8'292 ports worldwide.
The share of World Trade volumes by weight :
Maritime 80% vs. Aviation 0.5%
Annually, Flights produced 815 million tonnes of CO2
vs. 1000 million tonnes for ships.
Maritime is more CO2 friendly and Aviation will be
carbon neutral in term of its growth starting 2020
