The document discusses problems at the Port of Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe. Some of the key problems identified include: (1) the complex barge rotation planning and quay scheduling problem due to the large number of terminals and daily barge visits; (2) lack of reliable communication between barge operators and terminals; and (3) increasing environmental pressures on ports from governments and organizations. Other problems mentioned are canal blockages limiting transport, lack of space to accommodate growing world trade volumes, and pressures to adopt greener practices across supply chains. The conclusion states that while Rotterdam is one of the world's largest and busiest ports, the main challenge lies in urgently addressing problems through creative solutions rather than just infrastructure.

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.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. BACKGROUND
• Rotterdam is one of the main ports and the
largest logistic and industrial hubs of
Europe.
• Annual throughput of 430 million tons of
cargo in 2010.
• Gateway to a European market of more
than 350 million consumers.
• The port stretches out over 40 kilometres
and is about 10.500 ha (excluding
Maasvlakte 2 as a new port sides).
4. Continue…
• Provides information about terminals,
services, hinterland connections, doing
business and establishing in the port of
Rotterdam.
• Company goal :
is to strengthen the port of Rotterdam’s
competitive position as a logistics hub
and industrial complex of world
standing.
5. PROBLEMS
1. The barge rotation planning and quay
scheduling problem.
The barge rotation planning and quay
scheduling problem is rather complex.
In the port, there are about 30
terminals, whereas 75 to 100 barges
visit the port daily.
Some of the are closed during the
night, which limits the possibilities to
handle barges.
6. Continue…
2. Lack of communication
takes too much time and due to changes and
disturbances the communication with the
terminals is done by phone, E-mail, and fax.
turns out that information is not reliable since
barge operators try to obtain convenient time
windows.
e.g., lying about the real number of containers
that need to be loaded and unloaded, to get a
preferred or to guarantee enough planned
handling time at the terminal.
7. Continue…
3. Increasing pressure
Governments and international
organizations began addressing
environmental issues last
century, frequently as a result of some
catastrophe such as poisonings by
toxicants, oil spills, and so forth.
Ports are being pressured to respond to
problems related to environmental harm
resulted by shipping activities, whether
moved by ships or trucks.
8. Continue…
4. Canal problems
The canal blockage causes significant
economic loss for businesses, including
Vredestein, Akzo Nobel and Grolsch.
The blockage takes time 6 to 7 weeks
Container train eases canal problems
The train replaces some of the truck trips
that became necessary after the Twente
Canal was blocked.
It is estimated that the rail transport can
compensate 30% of the lost inland shipping
capacity.
9. Continue…
5. Growth in world trade and lack of space
A total of 90% of Europe’s trade with other
continents is carried out by ship; thus, the
ever increasing world trade has huge
implications for the demand for shipping.
Moreover, increasing globalization and
economic growth also has an impact on intra-
European shipping or short sea shipping.
The most important challenge for the Port of
Rotterdam is how to accommodate the
massive growth in trade flowing in and out of
the port in the future.
10. Continue…
6. Spillover effects & timeless
Environmental awareness is cumulative, as green
practices create spillover effects.
Once the company begins to address environmental in
one area, the independents nature of ecological and
physical elements inevitability leads toward ever
broader responses.
They then seek green suppliers and transporter, so that
supply chains become greener.
Second, due to their spatial expansion and functional
‘regionalization’ port are more proximate than ever:
they share overlapping hinterlands and port related
communities, with each of them seeking ways to avoid
lagging behind societal pressure.
11. Conclusion
• Port of Rotterdam is one of the largest ports in
the world. The largest port in Europe and one
of the busiest ports in the world, the port of
Rotterdam was the world's busiest port.
• The problems do not lie in the port’s
hardware, its physical infrastructure. This is
largely a technical matter and can therefore
be solved. The big challenge is the software,
the sense of urgency and the willingness to
solve problems creatively.
