CONCEPT OF OPTIMIZATION OF SHIP-PORT-CARGO INTERFACE, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT EXISTING RISK ASSESSMENT METHODS AND USE OF ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

Introduction. Cargotrade increased significantly all over the world nowadays. It is not about volumes only, but also about creating many new trades. This causes increasing of the probability of potential problems and delays in delivery of goods. Any delay can cause the breaking of the port operation schedule, cargoes’ delivery schedule and malfunction of other logistic chains. Purpose. There is an analysis of some existing transport process automation systems, which were developed for optimization of ships’ work in liner and tramp mode, in this paper. Also the systems of port automation, using computer situation development prognosis, are overlooked. The purpose is to formulate the concept of development of modern solution for the problems of automation and problems of possible malfunctions in the frames of cooperation ship-port-cargo, using risk assessment methods. Results. Basing on the analysis made, we can assume that existing automation systems are not respond modern challenges, especially regarding pre-calculation of possible malfunctions, which can appear while transporting the cargo. Using advantages of modern computer systems, especially artificial intellect systems, will push the development of all transport industry. It will be even more effective, if we will make prognosis basing not on the background analysis of similar situations, but using methods of risk assessment also. Conclusions. In this paper we show, that according to our views, the most prospective direction of the transport prosess automation development, is using of artificial intelligence elements with wide implementation of risk assessment at all sides of cooperation in the trangle ship-port-cargo. That means, the implementation of particular projects will not bring the significant improvement of all transport complex work, for the stable achieving of this target the close cooperation of all stakeholders is necessary, including cooperation in software development, or development of the common software, which will provide all users with quality data.
