...Title: Supply Chain Analysis of Binagol in selected main ports in Leyte Methodology This study was conducted in three major ports in Leyte: Ormoc Sea port Terminal/Landport and, Tacloban Air Port and Terminal/Landport involving 100 key informant (KI) Binagol retailers, processors and main producers from Binagol-producing municipalities of Leyte. This was operationalized by the Supply Chain approach, where its activities transform natural resources, raw materials and components into finished product that is delivered to the end customer. The primary and secondary data was gathered for this study. The primary data was gathered through personal interviews with the Key Informant (KI) respondents, observation of their entire chain or the “Observation Technique” that can get information including the production costs, the sales of the Binagol in their respective main ports in Leyte, the information of the Talyan plantation as well as the farmers involved, and other key players (distributors, suppliers, manufacturers, logistics etc.) who involved in the flow of supply chain in Binagol. The other data which were the secondary one was gathered through Cluster Sampling. This type is more cost-effective to select respondents in groups or “clusters” based on the main ports they belonged. The statistical data will be computed and analyzed through SPSS Statistics, is a software package used for statistical analysis. It is now officially named "IBM SPSS Statistics".

...CCDR's concept of operation. Force closure is that point which the combatant commander determines that an adequate combat-ready force is available. Force closure requires well-defined criteria by which unit commanders can measure their readiness. Assessment of combat power begins with established standards for readiness and is based on unit capability, rather than simple tallies of vehicles and weapon systems on hand. Readiness and reporting are inherently operational matters, normally handled through operations channels. Segments of RSOI 4-2. RSOI operations are necessary for commanders to build combat power. The four segments of RSOI are— Reception. Unloading personnel and equipment from strategic transport assets, managing port marshalling areas, transporting personnel, equipment, and materiel to staging areas, and providing logistics support services to units transiting the PODs. Staging. Organizing personnel, equipment, and basic loads into movement units; preparing the units for onward movement; and providing logistics support for units transiting the staging area. Onward movement. Moving units from reception facilities and staging areas to the tactical assembly areas (TAAs) or other theater destinations; moving non-unit personnel to gaining commands; and moving sustainment supplies to distribution sites. Integration. The synchronized transfer of capabilities into an operational...

...Erik H. Shirreffs Professor Harris IHR 380 17 March 2015 Effect of West Coast Port Gridlock From May 12, 2014 until February 20, 2015, the Pacific Maritime Association was in negotiations with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union in an attempt to come to an agreement on a new contract, which will keep the west coast port facilities in operation. The Pacific Maritime Association represents 72 cargo carriers, terminal operators and stevedores that operate 29 major U.S. ports spanning the west coast from Washington to Southern California (Pacific). The International Longshore and Warehouse Union represents approximately 42,000 members, which includes the 20,000 West Coast dockworkers that process over 340 million tons of cargo per year. This cargo represents over 12.5 percent of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product. The contract in dispute between the Pacific Maritime Association and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union expired on July 1, 2014. Since that time, the port facilities had continued to operate without a contract, but as time passed, pressure from both sides increased in order to reach an agreement. The Pacific Maritime Association claimed that the International Longshore and Warehouse Union had been engaged in a work slow-down that had increased the congestion at west coast port facilities. Although other factors such as increased holiday shipping demands and a shortage of trucks and trailers contributed to the congestion, according...

...It might be chilly outside, but this snowy snap of a penguin couple holding hands is enough to melt even the coldest of hearts. The perfect pair enjoyed a romantic clinch, opting for a moment of solitude while dozens of other penguins gathered nearby. In fact, as one interloper approached the penguins, who looked almost like humans holding hands, appeared to give the freezing cold shoulder - and he continued trudging by. The heart-warming display of affection took place in Port Lockroy, a natural harbour in the Antarctic Peninsula. It was captured on camera by professional photographer Silviu Ghetie. What's going on here then? Oh, not you two again Get over yourselves! 'What are you two up to? Oh, holding hands again': Lonely heart approaches the couple and seeing they are only interested in themselves, moves switfly on The pair stand hand in hand appearing to stare out at the dramatic vista of the frozen Antarctic landscape. Their heads tilted slightly toward one-and-other, they look as if they are feeling the quiet drama that love brings to inner life. Then, still holding each other, they wander down to the icy waters and the rest of their friends. Photographer Mr Ghetie, 43, from Baia Mare in Romania, usually takes pictures of people but he couldn't resist snapping this magic moment while on a polar expedition. More...

...In the beginning of the lab I started by exploring both the tcpClient.c and tcpServer.c code. When I had a rough understanding of how it worked, I tried running it. This caused an error to occur. The problem was I was using Winsock sockets instead of BSD sockets. One, Winsock, is a socket creator for windows, the other BSD socket is an application programming interface for Unix. So, in order to get the application running, I simply had to change WIN to BSD sockets. Next I ran both files again and this time I got back a message from the server saying that it had received a message. Then I opened Wireshark to view what was going on between the client and server. In the top frame, I could see the handshake occurring between the client and server, the client was sending a SYN(Synchronize) and the Server was replying with a SYN-ACK, which means Synchronize acknowledgment. I also noted there was a push function occurring, and when I clicked on the psh function and viewed its output in the bottom frame of Wireshark, I could see the message that has been sent. Next I learnt about how to run the server I had created infinitely, to do this I put the entire code, starting at the #endif underneath “WSAStartup”, in a while loop. This would cause an issue later on in the lab, which I’ll discuss shortly. After putting in the code, I had to compile it again, and then when I ran it, I was able to continuously create a connection via the client. After that I wanted to have one of my classmates...

...Port Pricing & Port Tariff Analysis THE PORT PRODUCT A chain of consecutive links, while the port as a whole may itself be seen as a link in a global logistics chain Port costs account for only a fraction of the total costs associated with the logistics chain The prototypical port does not exist. Ports inevitably have an heterogeneous quality, e.g. the large number of possible market players involved (government, port management, shippers, forwarders, agents, shipping companies, trade unions, etc), each of which has specific objectives. Generalized Port Price Port Price per unit of throughput represents prices charged by the port for various port services, e.g. wharfage, berthing and cargo handling charges Ocean Carrier Port Time Price per unit of throughput represents the time-related costs incurred by ocean carriers while their ships are in port, e.g. ship depreciation, fuel and labor costs Inland Carrier Port Time Price per unit of throughput represents the time-related costs incurred by inland (rail and truck) carriers while their vehicles are in port, e.g., vehicle depreciation, fuel and labor costs Shipper Port Time Price per unit of throughput represents the time-related costs incurred by shippers while their shipments are in port, e.g., inventory costs such as insurance and depreciation costs. Port Profit Profit = Port Price*Port Throughput – Minimum Port Costs Port operating objectives of the port operator will differ depending...

...Summary and Conclusion: The Port of Umm Qasr is an outdated, badly operated, insecure small port in Southern Iraq, which will increasingly limit the economic potential of the country. Access to the port is naturally limited by its shallow river location, high silt deposit rates, long approach and international boundaries. Umm Qasr activities are also limited by man-made obstacles such as wrecks, UXOs and minefields encroaching on its single, narrow channel. Despite these limitations, for the next 10 to 15 years Umm Qasr is clearly Iraq's most viable international port and one that is struggling to achieve a small fraction of its potential traffic. Numerous surveys of the port have stated that the currently operating equipment for cargo handling is inadequate for a vibrant, functioning port. However, the capacity of the port with its current equipment is substantially greater than what is being achieved, and additional equipment alone would have little impact on the port’s overall throughput or employment because the current operating systems and procedures are already incapable of productively utilizing and maintaining the port’s quite substantial current assets. In a port suffering from organizational chaos, even manual systems will permit substantially improved port efficiency. Training in systems to minimize cargo handling, documentation management, and customs handing, yard management and the other “software” of port management would not only consume...

...Proposed Sonadia Deep Sea Port – A Future Communication Hub of South-East Asia Introduction 1. Sea ports all over the world act as economic and communicational hubs. The leading sector of a country like Singapore is its deep sea port. Theoretically, deep sea ports can be defined as economic infrastructures at sea having enough space to accommodate and harbor large container vessels with adequate draft. 2. Bangladesh stands on the vertex of the Bay of Bengal, blocking sea access to the entire region lying north, north-east and north-west. This geostrategic advantage could offer Bangladesh real opportunities to play a major role in regional seaborne trade. 3. Sonadia, a small island near Maheshkhali, possesses enormous geographical potentials for developing a deep sea port. Proper utilization of this potential might turn Bangladesh into a communication hub of south-east Asia. With this backdrop, this paper would focus on the requirements of a deep sea port at Sonadia, its prospects as a regional communication hub and challenges on its way. Aim 4. To discuss the prospects of ‘Sonadia Deep Sea Port’ as the future communication hub of south-east Asia. Requirement of Sonadia Deep Sea Port 5. Chittagong and Mongla ports are unable to handle larger container vessels having more than 9.2 meters draft and 1500 TEU capacity. On the other hand, the annual growth trend indicates that in 2020, the total seaborne trade in Bangladesh may rise up to 70 to 80 million tons, which...

...Superior Grain Elevator was located at Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada’s third busiest port. With 14 giant grain elevators, Superior was able to load ships constantly sending grain to all parts of Eastern Canada and the globe. The ships were contracted for by agents who lined up the required tonnage of shipping capacity to fulfill the various contracts held with Superior. Although the agents tried to arrange for ships to arrive at Thunder Bay in a steady stream, the vagaries of lockage transfer times in the Seaway resulted in quite variable arrival times, at times forcing arriving ships to anchor when both wharfs were busy. This resulted in SGE having to incur demurrage charges at a rate of $2000 per day. Mike Armstrong, manager of port facilities for SGE, had just learned that the Canadian Government had negotiated a 5-year contract with Poland, and that Superior had been allocated some of the shipments. However, the two wharfs Superior currently had might not be enough to carry out the contract efficiently, and building a third wharf was being considered. The third wharf was estimated to cost $1,500,000. Superior Grain Elevator needs to consider the pros and cons of building a third wharf and decide if the benefits & savings will offset the cost of the investment. After careful consideration and analysis, using the ROI, NPV, FV formulas and @Risk, we do not recommend for SGE to build a third wharf. Even though the construction of the third wharf will provide the company a mean...

...integral role in companies dealing with tangible goods, both finished and semi-finished products. This ranges from electronic products to computer software and even liquid chemicals. Companies need to ensure their products reach their customers in the right quantity, at the right time and the lowest cost to maximize their profits. Logistics component of a company’s operation can be kept in house, if it is considered a key function; otherwise can be out sourced to an established logistics company, such as Federal Express (FedEx). Goods can be delivered via air, sea or land freight. Long distance deliveries use mainly air or sea fright, with land fright deployed when distance is relatively short or as a transfer of cargoes to and from sea ports or airports to the pick-up points or delivery points. Sea freight is the most common mode for transportation for long distance as compared to air freight, mainly due to cost. However, in the case of transporting of liquids, sea freight is perhaps the only mode for long distance. Tanker is the...
