Network dynamics in container transport by barge
In a time span of twenty years, container transport by barge has acquired a significant share in the hinterland modal split for containers of the load centres Rotterdam and Antwerp. In other European load centres, barge container transport as yet plays a

Mechanical Mechanism and Dynamic Characteristics of Barge–Whole Bridge Collision Behaviours
Collision between a moving ship and a bridge in inner rivers is a frequent occurrence that seriously endanger the safety of the bridge. Existing studies mostly address the action of a ship colliding with a bridge pier that is used as a substitution of ...

Motion Control System Design for Barge-Type Surface Ships Using Tugboats
Barge ships are designed to transport and assemble heavy and massive pieces of equipment at sea. Active propulsion systems are not installed in this type of ship, so the desirable motion and positioning of these ships can only be achieved with the ...

THE SIMULATION OF SKEG EFFECT TO BARGE RESISTANCE CALCULATION USING CFD-RANS OPENFOAM
The paper discusses the significance of different types of skegs in a barge toward the pressure, fluid velocity and the ship total resistance. There are three kinds of skeg configurations: barge without skegs, skegs without deflection, and skegs with ...
