Software Development for the Analysis and Design of Ship Berthing StructuresIDES Editor
The construction and maintenance of berthing
structures are very expensive and therefore the most economic
design should be adopted. To arrive at an economic design the
structural engineer has to repeat the design for different
alternatives for all loading conditions. To minimize his effort
a computing tool has become necessary.
Software BESTDESIGN has been developed using
the computer language Visual Basic and the Database MSAccess
for the analysis and design of ship berthing structures.
The software can be used for the analysis and design of new
berthing structures and can also be used for obtaining the
design aspects while reconstructing an existing structure.
The software developed was tested with the requirements at
Cochin Port. Cochin Port Trust is the authority of a number
of ship berthing structures. Some of them are to be
reconstructed and there are new projects involving the
construction of new ship berths or the extension of existing
berthing structures.

India has a coastline which is more than 7,517 km long, interspersed with more than 200 ports. Most cargo ships that sail between East Asia and America, Europe and Africa pass through Indian territorial waters.
There are 13 major and about 200 non-major ports in the country. The total cargo traffic in India stood at 911.5 million metric tonnes (MMT) during FY12 and is expected to touch 1,758 MMT by FY17. Port traffic at major and non-major ports in India is set to rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22 per cent and 5.5 per cent respectively over FY12-14.
The rising demand for port infrastructure, strong growth potential, favourable investment climate, and sops provided by state governments provide private players with an opportunity to enter the Indian ports sector to serve the spill-off demand from major ports. During FY13, 29 projects are scheduled to be executed adding capacity of 208 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) at the cost of US$ 8.8 billion. Non-major ports are also expected to benefit from strong growth in India's external trade.
The Government of India (GOI) has initiated National Maritime Development Programme (NMDP), an initiative to develop the maritime sector with an planned outlay of US$ 11.8 billion. The government has also allowed foreign direct investment (FDI) of up to 100 per cent under the automatic route for projects related to the construction and maintenance of ports and harbours and a 10-year tax holiday for enterprises engaged in ports.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?
