Port terminal operations cost contribution to the supply chain Tristan Wiggill
Transnet Port Terminals' contribution to supply chain costs is relatively low. The World Bank report found that Transnet's port charges and terminal handling fees combined make up only 15.6% of the total cost of exporting a container from Johannesburg to Rotterdam. Inland transportation and handling costs are much higher, accounting for 60% of total supply chain costs. Compared to other countries, South Africa's port charges are around 12% lower than the global average. While it is expensive to trade from South Africa due to its distance from major markets, Transnet's fees are competitive internationally and not a primary contributor to high supply chain costs from South Africa.

It explores various key performance indicators used to evaluate efficiency related to issues like quay productivity, crane utilization, and ship turnaround times. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of developing a culture of performance measurement in ports using agreed-upon indicators to understand system performance and support decision-making.
The document discusses regulatory authorities and definitions related to maritime shipping to and within Hawaii. The Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC) regulates interisland shipments not covered by federal agencies while the Surface Transportation Board (STB) oversees interstate commerce over seas. Cargo is defined excluding supplies while container cargo uses shipping devices; transshipment cargo arrives via through bills of lading. Matson provides ocean freight and interisland barge services within Hawaii as well as terminal services on several islands.
The Port Authority oversees many transportation facilities in the New York/New Jersey region that were damaged by Superstorm Sandy in 2012, including airports, bridges, tunnels, rail systems, and ports. Nearly 20% of PATH rail tracks flooded, as did tunnels at the Holland Tunnel. The Port Authority, NJ Transit, and MTA received over $10 billion total in federal assistance for storm recovery. In response, the Port Authority issued resilience guidelines in 2015 to design all capital projects to withstand coastal flooding hazards, using a process to cost-effectively integrate resilience measures. For example, a PATH head house would be designed to a flood elevation over 17 feet to protect critical infrastructure.
The Port of Baltimore generates significant economic benefits for Maryland through the jobs and revenues it creates.

Panama Canal Expansion & its Huge Significance for US Trade, Ports, Railways,...Shyam Kumar
The Panama Canal Expansion is due to be completed by the end of 2014 / start of 2015. It will massively affect trade between Asia & the US, given the accessibility larger ships will then have directly to US Gulf and East Coast ports. The expansion will allow Post Panamax ships that can carry up to 12,500 TEU (20 foot containers) to transit the Panama Canal, the current limit for Panamax ships is 4,800. This is basically a 160% increase in the capacity of container ships that can transit the Panama Canal. This also applies to bulk ships used to transit ores, grains & coal, as well as to LNG and Oil tankers. It is going to open up significant traffic for East Coast & Gulf ports. In this presentation the impacts of the Panama Canal on the US, its' ports, supply chains are looked at. As well as importantly the impact it could have for investors in various assets.

Port Development, Review of Maritime Transport 2014Manas Tripathy
Container ports saw growth of 5.6% in 2013 with developing countries increasing their share. The top 20 ports accounted for 46% of throughput and all top 10 ports are in Asia. Terminal operations are still fragmented but the top 10 control 37% of throughput. Port development is important for developing countries' revenue but less so for developed countries. The Panama Canal expansion was completed in 2016 to accommodate larger ships. Future vessels will be bigger, requiring ports to deepen channels and strengthen infrastructure to handle increased cargo volumes while minimizing environmental impacts.
Global dynamics are changing the landscape of cargo flows due to two factors: growth in demand and changes in the nature of demand. Demand growth is slowing while volatility is increasing. Ship sizes are rapidly increasing, with ultra large container vessels dominating new orders and trade routes. This is changing cargo flows and challenging terminal operators with greater peaks and troughs in volumes and an increased need for transhipment capabilities. Terminals must improve performance to accommodate larger vessels while maintaining reliability, productivity and efficiency.

This document discusses the potential for establishing air freight services between Geraldton Airport in Western Australia and destinations in Asia. Geraldton is well positioned as a logistics hub with road, rail and sea transport infrastructure already in place. The region produces significant amounts of fresh produce, meat and seafood but producers face challenges transporting perishable goods long distances to export ports in a timely manner. Establishing air freight services could help exporters access new offshore markets more quickly. Initial services would likely use passenger aircraft belly cargo capacity to Asia with a focus on establishing sufficient import and export volumes and passengers to ensure viability. Upgrades to Geraldton Airport's runway and apron are underway to accommodate larger aircraft in the future.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
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.

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.

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.
The importance of sustainable and efficient computational practices in artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning has become increasingly critical. This webinar focuses on the intersection of sustainability and AI, highlighting the significance of energy-efficient deep learning, innovative randomization techniques in neural networks, the potential of reservoir computing, and the cutting-edge realm of neuromorphic computing. This webinar aims to connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications and provide insights into how these innovative approaches can lead to more robust, efficient, and environmentally conscious AI systems.
