Nästan alla stora företag ger kunderna möjlighet att handla genom elektronisk handel, så kallad e-handel. E-handeln har ökat kraftigt senaste åren och under 2013 ökade den svenska detaljhandelns försäljning över internet med 17 procent. I takt med den ökande e-handeln ökar även konkurrensen, vilket leder till att e-handelsföretagen måste särskilja och positionera sig för att skapa ett starkt och konkurrenskraftigt varumärke. E-handelns fraktförpackningar kan användas som en kanal för att kommuni...

‘Fuerte’ makes up 25% of the avocados exported from South Africa to European markets and requires shipping periods of up to 28 days and a correctly managed cold chain. A temperature of 5.5°C and expensive CA and 1-MCP treatments are currently used to delay ripening over this lengthy cold chain; however, fruit still appear on the European market showing signs of softening and physiological disorders. Increased competition on the global market and the disadvantage of a particularly long distance t...

Bovine respiratory coronavirus (BRCoV) is a group 2a coronavirus expressing both hemagglutinin-esterase and spike (S) envelope glycoproteins. The S glycoprotein is a primary coronavirus virulence factor responsible for both receptor specificity and membrane fusion-mediated entry into host cells. In addition, the S glycoprotein serves as a major antigen targeted by both the cellular and humoral immune responses and, as such, is an important target for antibody-facilitated virus neutralization. Th...

The transportation of organisms in the ballast water of cargo ships has been recognized as a source of invasive species despite current control measures. Pathogenic bacteria in the ballast tank have been studied but the total diversity of the ballast tank bacterial community has not been examined. This study is the first to characterize the total bacterial community within a ballast tank by constructing a clone library from a ballast water sample from a cargo ship in the Port of Houston, amplifi...

The objective of this thesis describes the characteristics that distinguish shipping companies that have a superior safety standard, called blue-chip, from those being substandard. The different characteristics of the companies having different safety standard are important to be aware of, as they indicate how safety may be improved in ship transportation. The scope of the study is limited to focus on recurrent high-risk accident scenarios arising in ship organisations and systems that are assum...

Shortsea shipping promotion and optimization issues have been repeatedly emphasized by the EU Commission and long-term researchers of the segment. The problem we are facing today is, that many commercial players still wrongly approach shortsea shipping with scepticism, as a bit outdated mode of transport; besides there are numerous administrative obstacles and factors involved that impede ultimate integration of shortsea shipping into the existing intermodal and multimodal transport chains. Inad...

In today's market, packaging and cutting of fresh red meat occurs at both the wholesale and retail level. Greater economies could result if the wholesaler prepared all consumer cuts centrally. Despite advantages, meat storage life is inadequate for extensive centralized distribution, however, master packaging in combination with strict temperature control ($\rm {-}1.5 \pm 0.5\sp\circ C)$ increases storage life. Although master packaging technology exists, mechanical refrigerators usually fail to...

Under international law, every state has the sovereign right to establish the conditions under which it will grant its nationality to a vessel. By consequence, different schemes for ship registration have been developed, traditionally the nationalist and open system. While the nationalist system imposes strict requirements regarding national ownership and manning, along with burdensome fiscal regimes for the shipping industry, the open system offered flexible requirements and a friendly ta...

Selecting greenhouse gas abatement measures for a specific fleet of ships is not an easy task and many factors are to be considered by ship operators. Current methodologies for assessing measures are based on cost-effectiveness evaluations. The main aim of this paper is to explore new ways to evaluate and select greenhouse gas abatement measures in shipping. To address this, a case study regarding the open hatch bulk fleet of Grieg Shipping Group is presented in order to illustrate the decision ...

yes / The study examines the impact of liquidity risk on freight derivatives returns. The Amihud liquidity ratio and bid–ask spreads are utilized to assess the existence of liquidity risk in the freight derivatives market. Other macroeconomic variables are used to control for market risk. Results indicate that liquidity risk is priced and both liquidity measures have a significant role in determining freight derivatives returns. Consistent with expectations, both liquidity measures are foun...

This paper applies to the design and simulation of a shipping container made of sandwich panels. The amount of stresses acting on the body of the container is calculated and is optimized to reduce stresses for the better design output of the structure. The design aims to produce an application to reduce the tare weight of the container in order to increase the payload. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is performed to evaluate the strength of structures of both old and new models helps us to compare...

We propose a new measure, called the Container Port Connectivity Index (CPCI), to more accurately reflect the relative importance of container ports within the global network of container shipping. This index is based on both economics and network topology, where the strength of a port is based on its position within the global structure of shipping network and not just on local information, such as the number of TEUs handled or direct links to other ports. As the CPCI produces two separate scor...

<p>Tidally-influenced sandwaves are common coastal features present in various settings, including shipping channels. The main shipping channel in Tampa Bay under the Bob Graham Sunshine Skyway Bridge (a.k.a. the Skyway Bridge) contains such sandwave bedforms. Between the years 2000 and 2017, these bedforms have been surveyed with multibeam echosounders (MBES) on 21 occasions with ranging coverage and quality of returns. Surveys between 2000 and 2009 used a 300 kHz Kongsberg EM3000; surveys betw...
