- PostGothenburg Port Authority - Sustainability assessment of a port(2018) Varvne, Hanna; Tselepi, Evanthia-Gioula; Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för teknikens ekonomi och organisation; Chalmers University of Technology / Department of Technology Management and EconomicsSustainable development is an urgent issue of high significance for modern societies. Ports around the world as well as part of the local societies also deal with sustainability issues. The sustainability work performed by each port needs to be assessed and report. For this the sustainability report can be used. In this master thesis, a sustainability assessment of the Gothenburg Port Authority has been conducted aiming to investigate the link between organisational structure and the sustainability work performed in the organisation. The sustainability report of the Gothenburg’s Port Authority has been used as a tool to assess the organisation’s sustainability work. The two methods chosen for this report have been a literature review regarding sustainability assessments and indicators as well as a series of interviews to get a better understanding of the organisation. The study is limited to sustainability work performed by ports and more specifically the Gothenburg Port Authority. The produced results show that the organisational structure has an impact on the sustainability work. The format of the sustainability report also needs to develop further to become a useful tool for future strategic decision-making processes. Additionally, the organisation’s identity has an impact on the sustainability report. The results have been analysed and discussed and suggestions have been proposed for future improvements to the Gothenburg Port Authority.

- PostManagement of Containers by the Use of Automatic Cranes- New Handling Method(2015) Jasim, Jamil Hassan; Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för teknikens ekonomi och organisation; Chalmers University of Technology / Department of Technology Management and EconomicsThe sea-born trade represents the greatest proportion of the international trade activities, almost 90% of world freight cargoes being carried by sea. This high rate is normally accompanied by regenerating problems. To master the challenges of the steady growth of overcrowding and congestion issues in the world's major ports, we need to maintain a stable balance between supply chain components within maritime transportation. That required overcoming the disparity in performance between the various stages of productivity operations. One of these stages is the stacking yard in the container terminals which suffers from the unintended waste of time. In this research, we are trying to identify the potential causes for this issue. This study does not aim to reinvent the wheel, but to uncover the hidden advantages of the concept of AS/RS in the maritime domain. This concept did not gain its fair share of the tremendous quantity of technical applications. We find it will be of interest to shed some light on this issue from the different point of view by highlighting the non-value added time steps. Especially if it could be done with means at hand and circumstances as they are. The purpose of this research is to highlight the importance of filling the gap between the more efficient mega- ship that use more sophisticated technologies and the performance of the end station of its journey; the port, by finding effective solutions to reduce the time problems arising during the operations within the superior ports, the container terminals which in turn will reduce the cost. Three materials used to produce this study are the statistical tools, literature reviews and one of the most advanced graphic computer software, the 3ds Max®. As a result, the study shows clearly that the causes are a bunch of unnecessary steps leads to time losing.
