ADEMAR - advanced decision-support system for the development of global maritime logistics networks

Tildelt: kr 0,15 mill.

The maritime industry constantly faces a number of commercial, technological and societal challenges. Many current challenges are closely linked to the globalization of world trade which has led to greater value chain complexity, and to new and demanding maritime operations in harsh environments like in the Arctic. Combined with a sharper focus on developing more efficient and robust value chains, this increased complexity is leading to ever stricter requirements being made of the maritime logistics solu tions that are incorporated in these value chains. In order to develop maritime logistics solutions capable of dealing with greater complexity and performance requirements, a precondition will be that developing vessel concepts, fleet design and chain de sign all take place as parts of an integrated process. The Research Council of Norway has launched a set of activities that aim to build up competence in central aspects of this problem. Each of these projects will generate knowledge and methods to tackl e central conditions that are fundamental to the development of efficient and robust maritime logistics systems. These projects however all have a limited focus in that they focus either on vessels, fleets and/or logistics chains, or on individual paramet ers or conditions such as vulnerability, energy consumption or environmental profile mainly in a strategic perspective. The partners in this pilot project are of the opinion that this is an area which currently suffers from a lack of good decision-support tools and methods, i.e. tools and methods that can assist in evaluating a set parameters like the ones mentioned above in a chain-, fleet,- and ship design perspective. The development of such a decision support system will require R&D activities withi n several areas, e.g. to develop the underlying model for the total maritime system, to choose and model the required decision parameters, to choose and model performance indicators, etc.
