Ship design optimization in the context of an integrated system for multimodal transport

Abstract

The methodology developed through this PhD thesis entitled “Ship Design Optimization in the Context of an Integrated System for Multimodal Transport” is dedicated to the identification of the optimum ship design for one or multiple sea routes, when considering the multimodal door to door transport. The objective is to incorporate feasibility study, routing, fleet management, ship design, environmental assessment and economic analysis into one integrated methodology which is able to produce efficiently the Pareto Front of optimal solutions for the set multiobjective-multicriteria transport problem. The methodology is supported by automated software. Demand analysis is implemented by the use of statistical data, in order to estimate the cargo flow in the multimodal network. This is a crucial point which is considered separately. Moreover, the method includes a risk assessment and sensitivity analysis of the solutions, confronting demand uncertainty in a most secure way and further, intro ...
