Analysis of the Fatality Rates of Boat and Ferry Accident on Inland Waterways...IOSR Journals
This study aims at quantifying the boat and Ferry accident fatality rates on Inland waterways in Nigeria, with a special focus on the waterways of Port Harcourt. With the aid of Simple percentile analysis, a comparative study was carried out to reveal the fatality rate between Boat and Ferry accidents. It was found out that more fatal accidents occurred with the use of Boats than Ferries on the waterways. A total fatality rate of 19% and 6% was derived for Boat and Ferry accidents respectively. The economic effect will be a rise in the patronage of Ferry services on the waterways.

Smart ports: towards a high performance, increased productivity, and a bette...IJECEIAES
Ports are currently competing fiercely for capital and global investments in order to improve revenues, mostly by improving performance and lowering labor costs. Smart ports are a fantastic approach to realize these elements since they integrate information and communication technologies within smart applications, ultimately contributing to port management improvement. This leads to greater performance and lower operational expenses. As a result, several ports in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America have gone smart. However, there are a lot of critical factors to consider when automating port operations, such as greenhouse gas emissions, which have reached alarming proportions. The purpose of this study is to define the most essential tasks conducted by smart ports, such as the smart ship industry, smart gantry and quayside container cranes, transport automation, smart containers, and energy efficiency. Furthermore, it gives a model of the smart port concept and highlights the critical current technologies on which the ports are based. Each technology’s most significant contributions to its development are noted. This technology is compared to more traditional technologies. It is hoped that this effort would pique the curiosity of fresh researchers in this sector.

This lecture looks at shipping today, macro-trends in technology, autonomous vessels and the changes this will bring to future logistics channels and ports.

Introduction to Port Design and Construction Technique and Perspectives
Ports are a link in a total transportation chain for goods and people to flow into cities.
Ports secure links with trade partners around the globle
Ports serve as supply centers and bases for shipping and marine industries (fishing, offshore petroleum).
Port costs – (ships turnaround, rail, cars, trucks, etc) total in excess of 50 % all transport costs of international trade.
55% of are the result of time loss.

Efficiency assessment 2325aEFFICIENCY ASSESSMENT OF OFF-DOCK CONTAINER TERMIN...AkashSharma618775
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.
