Purpose: Currently floating offshore wind emerges as a new technology and thus making offshore windfarms in areas feasible where it was due to certain conditions (water depths, soil conditions) not feasible to install fixed offshore wind turbines. The installation process of floating offshore...

Purpose: When container terminals are planned or converted, among others the most suitable container handling system needs to be selected and the appropriate terminal layout needs to be designed. These two planning activities are mutually dependent and affect the costs and future operational...

Horizontal transport on container terminals represents the interface between quay and yard. Efficient transport operations are essential to improve performance and productivity. Thereby, one main decision problem is dispatching the vehicles. Despite the large amount of literature in this field,...

Purpose: While simulation-based optimization has been discussed in theory and practically employed at container terminals, the different publications in this field have not yet been presented and compared in a structured manner. This paper gathers the latest developments and examine the...

Purpose: Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the manufacturing of metal parts and is therefore increasingly important for industry. Unfortunately, the manufactured parts exhibit many imperfections, such as faults or other quality defects. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) allows for the...

The goal of this paper is to provide researchers and practitioners with the required guidance to achieve a better assessment of the sustainability-related performance of an organization and its supply chain (SC). In order to achieve this, standards and guidelines covering three sustainability...

Seaports play an essential role in global supply chains. Incidents and accidents in such ports may lead to service delays, port closure as well as damage to people, property and the environment. Therefore, risk management in seaports plays an important role in mitigating and preventing possible...

The incremental awareness regarding social and environmental issues has pushed organizations to adopt sustainable practices. Over the last few years, organizations are considered to be responsible for their business activities that affect the environment, society, and the economy of their own...

This research article aims to identify sustainability performance indicators (SPIs) and provide practical guidance for assessing organizations and their supply chains’ sustainability-related performances. We conducted a systematic literature review to analyze scientific journal articles...
