Container ports are pressured for efficiency while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under decarbonization rules. Simulation-based operational planning frameworks are increasingly being explored for container terminal decarbonization and coordination analysis. This study fills the gap by developing a trace-driven offline digital twin (DT) framework integrated with a discrete event simulation model decision support for ta...

Pipe routing in ship design presents significant challenges because of its time-consuming nature and the need for considerable attention to detail. In recent years, the decreasing number of pipe designers has impacted the quality of pipe-routing designs. However, optimizing pipe routing is crucial for reducing construction costs and ship production time. This study focused on optimizing the procedure and routes, considering ov...

Sea transportation such as that by container ships has an essential role in the economy both locally and internationally. Ships are a major commodity in distributing goods over long distances due to their relatively low price compared to air shipping. The study implemented an optimization method using heuristic algorithms with ship route selection to minimize operational costs based on the parameters of mileage between 12 port...
