Rosyth-Zeebrugge: a potential intermodal maritime logistics corridor for Scottish freight transportation. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, Y., Mathie, I., & Monios, J. (2013, July). Rosyth-Zeebrugge: a potential intermodal maritime logistics corridor for Scottish freight transportation. Paper presented at 26th European Conference on Operation Research

The majority of freight originated from Scotland is trucked south to go via Channel Tunnel or ports in Southeast England. As Scotland’s only ferry connection to mainland Europe, however, the service between Rosyth and Zeegrugge is struggling with ins...

Offshore wind turbines supported on monopile foundations are dynamically sensitive because the overall natural frequencies of these structures are close to the different forcing frequencies imposed upon them. The structures are designed for an intend... Read More about Dynamic soil–structure interaction of monopile supported wind turbines in cohesive soil.

Liquidity risk premium and asset pricing in US water transportation (2013)
