Considerando que o custo de transporte ou custo logístico chega, em alguns casos, a representar até 30% do valor final de vários produtos agrícolas, verificou-se que a navegação fluvial tornou-se um grande fator de redução no custo dos produtos, que necessitam de transporte em longa distância e, ao mesmo tempo, mantém um fluxo de carga muito elevado. Esta economia no custo de frete pode chegar a valores acima de 30%, quando se utiliza embarcações fluviais de terceiros e uma economia de mais de 40% ao se utilizar embarcações próprias, na fase do transporte hidroviário. Pela metodologia utilizada no trabalho foram identificadas duas regiões distintas: a consumidora e a produtora. Esta condição permitiu que fosse apresentado um estudo logístico específico, com maior detalhamento de rota e melhor especificação de equipamentos a serem utilizados, os quais permitiram obter resultados que possibilitaram otimizar o frete. Comparou-se os resultados desta análise de transporte com finalidade de obter relações entre custos e benefícios observados em outras modalidades de transporte utilizados nesta região, potencialmente rica e carente de transportes eficientes. / The Tietê-Paraná's waterway was analyzed here under the point of view of its use for the commercial sailing; being good for the canal of the products of the rich center-west region of Brazil to Santos' harbour, with objective to show the advance multimodal transporting in grains drainage. Considering that the cost of transporting or logistic's cost reach thirty per cent of the final value of several agricultural products. The fluvial sailing is seen today as a great reduction factor in the costs of products, that need transport of long distance and at the same time it maintains a very high load flow. This reduction of freight may get thirty per cent if used undertaking boat, but forty per cent or more will be get if used self-boat. The work has a sequence that will begin with the general characterization of the area consumer, as well as the location of the producing areas, presenting a specific study where it will consist a larger route specially and the equipments to be it used. This source will show a series of calculations that they will have later as objective to arrive to a freight optimized in this project, which intends to offer the analysis of transport alternative comparable with the costs and benefits of the other modalities of this area, potentially rich and poor of efficient transports.

Infraestrutura de transporte hidroviário de carga no Estado do Amazonas: um diagnóstico a partir das políticas públicas de investimentos

Macedo, Cristianne da Silva 10 January 2012 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2015-04-22T22:10:29Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Cristianne Macedo.pdf: 705142 bytes, checksum: 85ec1fecd1e78bf409c53c34cfcf0c99 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-01-10 / The transportation infrastructure represents a significant role in the logistics process of a given region, for impacts on transportation costs, resulting in barriers to economic and social development. When a company decides to set up a production unit, one of the main criteria is analyzed the situation of local infrastructure of transportation available. The better the infrastructure, the greater the likelihood of attracting new investments. Therefore, the infrastructure can be considered as critical for maintaining the competitiveness of a country or region, which may indicate their level of development. In Brazil, the situation of its highways, railways, waterways and air transport collaborate so that it is classified as a country still in development. In addition, Brazil also has specific geographic, such as the state of Amazonas, where its long rivers, the flow of production become more complex. Given these facts, it is essential to understand how public policies for water transport cargo logistics bottlenecks contribute in the state of Amazonas. Therefore, this paper aims to conduct an assessment of public policies on infrastructure investments in water transportation of cargo by analyzing their contribution to the logistics process in the state of Amazonas. In this sense, we sought to analyze the infrastructure investments in water transportation of cargo in the state of Amazonas and evaluate its relationship with indicators of economic and social development. According to the results obtained, it is found that the concentration of investments in railroads does not mitigate the problems of product flow along the river. The waterway infrastructure is still poor and in need of investment to meet economic and social development of the region / A infraestrutura de transporte representa um papel significativo no processo logístico de determinada região, pois impacta nos custos de transportes, acarretando entraves para o desenvolvimento econômico e social. Quando uma empresa decide instalar uma unidade produtiva, um dos principais critérios analisados é a situação da infraestrutura local de transporte disponível. Quanto melhor for a infraestrutura, maior a probabilidade de atrair novos investimentos. Por isso, a infraestrutura pode ser considerada como elemento crucial para a manutenção da competitividade de um país ou região, podendo indicar seu patamar de desenvolvimento. No caso do Brasil, a situação de suas rodovias, ferrovias, hidrovias e transporte aéreo colaboram para que o mesmo seja classificado como país ainda em desenvolvimento. Além disso, o Brasil também apresenta especificidades geográficas, tais como no estado do Amazonas, onde seus extensos rios, tornam o escoamento da produção mais complexo. Diante de tais fatos, tornar-se imprescindível entender como as políticas públicas de transporte hidroviário de cargas contribuem nos gargalos logísticos no estado do Amazonas. Portanto, este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar um diagnóstico sobre as políticas públicas de investimentos em infraestrutura de transporte hidroviário de cargas, analisando sua contribuição para o processo logístico no estado do Amazonas. Neste sentido, buscou-se analisar os investimentos em infraestrutura de transporte hidroviário de cargas no estado do Amazonas e avaliar sua relação com os indicadores de desenvolvimento econômico e social. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, pode-se verificar que a concentração de investimentos no modal rodoviário não atenua os problemas de escoamento da produção ribeirinha. A infraestrutura hidroviária ainda é precária e necessita de investimentos para atender ao desenvolvimento econômico e social da região

Βρούβα, Αντιγόνη 14 May 2007 (has links)
Το θέμα των ρωμαϊκών λουτρών προσανατολίσητκε σε δύο κύριες κατευθύνσεις: α)στη μελέτη και την παρουσίαση των συγκεκριμένων κατασκευών γενικά και β) στην εστίαση στις περιπτώσεις που έχουν ανεβρεθεί στον ελλαδικό χώρο. Επιχειρείται μια γενική εισαγωγή σε όρους εξέλιξης των κατασκευών αυτών στο χρόνο, αναφορές στην ορολογία, την καταγωγή τους και στο ιστορικό τους πλαίσιο. Πραγματοποιείται ανάλυση του σχεδιασμού των ρωμαϊκών λουτρών, της οικοδομικής τους και των κατασκευαστικών τους χαρακτηριστικών. Tέλος, υπό μελέτη τίθενται τα ρωμαϊκά λουτρά στον ελλαδικό χώρο, όπου με τη μορφή χαρτών και παράθεσης πηγών για την περιπτωσιολογία, όπως αυτή διαμορφώνεται από τα αρχαιολογικά ευρήματα, αποδίδεται γλαφυρότερα η συνολική εικόνα του θέματος κατηγοριοποιημένα κατά το δυνατόν. / The subject is horiented at two basic directions: a) the study and presentation of roman baths in general and b)the focus in the documented archaelogical cases in Greece. A general approach and introduction is attempted in terms of in-time development of those structures, terminology, origin and historical context. The design of roman baths, their structural elements and building techniques are some focal points under discussion. Roman baths in Greece are beeing studied. In the form of maps and literature connotations for the reported archaelogical evidences the conclusions are drawn under the prism of an - as possible - general categorization, sina que non for a complete study.

[en] WATER TRANSPORTATION OF PASSENGERS IN GUANABARA BAY (RJ): MONOPOLY AND MANAGEMENT OF ACCESSIBILITIES IN A GEOGRAPHICAL PERSPECTIVE / [pt] TRANSPORTE AQUAVIÁRIO DE PASSAGEIROS NA BAÍA DE GUANABARA (RJ): MONOPÓLIO E GESTÃO DAS ACESSIBILIDADES EM UMA PERSPECTIVA GEOGRÁFICA

ALAN GUSTAVO FERNANDES PACIFICO 03 July 2015 (has links)
[pt] Nos últimos anos, os temas ligados ao transporte, mobilidade urbana entraram, de forma mais significativa, na pauta de discussões das ciências sociais, ganhando destaque nos debates de âmbito político, econômico e social. As grandes cidades brasileiras são profundamente marcadas pelas condições inadequadas de deslocamento de pessoas e mercadorias. Além das más condições de transporte coletivo, já amplamente documentadas, agravaram-se recentemente as restrições às acessibilidades e sustentabilidades nas grandes metrópoles do país, gerando impactos sobre a qualidade de vida das pessoas e sobre as atividades sociais e econômicas. Em linhas gerais, o problema central dessa pesquisa reside na baixa qualidade da gestão do transporte aquaviário de passageiros na Baía de Guanabara, caracterizada atualmente pelos constantes atrasos nos horários das embarcações, pelas altas tarifas, pela superlotação no interior das barcas e pelo número reduzido de linhas regulares e terminais e pela limitação de suas conexões intermodais. A hipótese norteadora desse trabalho argumenta que o fator decisivo para a baixa qualidade desse modelo de transporte possui origem política e econômica e é o monopólio historicamente presente no setor. Nesse sentido, o objetivo geral desse trabalho consiste em analisar a natureza da gestão do transporte aquaviário de passageiros no Rio de Janeiro, avaliando a influência do monopólio sobre a qualidade do serviço e seus reflexos territoriais, como a emergência do transporte aquaviário clandestino na margem leste da baía de Guanabara. / [en] In recent years, issues related to transportation and urban mobility entered, more significantly, on the social sciences discussions, gaining prominence in political, economic and social context s discussions. Brazilians big cities are deeply marked by inadequate conditions of people and goods displacement s. In addition to the poor condition of public transportation, already widely documented, recently restrictions on access and sustainabilities in the large cities of the country worsened, generating impacts on the quality of life and on the social and economic activities. Generally speaking, the main problem of this research lies on the poor quality of the management of passengers waterway transportation in Guanabara Bay , currently characterized by constant vessels delays, high tariffs , overcrowd inside the barges and the few regular and terminals lines and the limitation of their intermodal connections. The guiding hypothesis of this paper argues that the decisive point of low quality of this kind transportation has a political and economic backgrounds and is historically a monopoly in this aera. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to analyze the nature of the management of waterway transportation of passengers in Rio de Janeiro , assessing the monopoly influence on quality service and their territorial reflexes such as the emergence of an underground waterway transportation on the east bank Guanabara Bay

The technology and economics of water-borne transportation systems in Roman Britain

Millar, Roderick J. O. 05 1900 (has links)
The thesis examines a number of questions concerning the design, construction, costs and use of Romano-British seagoing and inland waters shipping. In the first part the reasons for the methods of construction for seagoing and coastal vessels, such as the Blackfriars Ship 1, the St. Peter Port Ship and the Barland's Farm Boat, have been investigated. The constructional characteristics of the two ships are massive floors and frames, with the planking fastened only to the floors and frames with heavy clenched iron nails. There is no edge to edge fastening of the planks, with tenons inserted into mortises cut into the edges of the planks, as is normal in the Mediterranean tradition of ship construction in the Roman period. The Romano-British ships also differ from the Scandinavian tradition of clinker building with overlapping planks nailed to each other along their length. It has been concluded that a natural phenomenon, the large tidal range around the British Isles and the northern coasts of Gaul and Germany, had a dominant effect on the design of seagoing vessels. Deep water harbours, such as Portus, Caesar ea Maritima and Alexandria in the Mediterranean, where ships could lie afloat at all times, were neither practicable nor economic with the technology available. At the British ports, such as Dover, London and Chichester, ships had to come in with the high tide, moor to simple wharves at the high tide level, and then settle on the ground as the tide dropped. At the numerous small havens, inlets and estuaries around the British coasts, ships would come in with the tide, settle on a natural or man-made 'hard' as the tide fell, and discharge cargo over the side to carts, pack animals or people. This mode of operation required sturdy ships that could take the ground without damage, and also withstand a certain amount of 'bumping' on the bottom in the transition period from fully afloat to fully aground. The second part of the thesis investigates the cost of building, maintaining and operating various types of vessels. To do this, a new mode for measuring cost, the Basic Economic Unit, or BEU, has been developed. The probable volume of the various types of cargoes carried has been examined. It appears that grain was the dominant cargo in both coastal and overseas traffic. The total cost of building, maintaining and operating the seagoing and inland water shipping was less than one percent of the gross product of Britain, a small cost for an essential service.
