To improve port function, logistic activity usage and providing this region in port hinterlands is very important. To provide this center and increase facilities from added value service, there can be a competition for his fact. Logistic parks which are placed in port hinterlands play an important role as a link to attract local and global centers with added value to support port economic development. On this paper, consideration has been taken on effectiveness zones of port logistic center and quantitative function for logistic center on each zone. This process is based on two scenarios: existence and not existence of logistic center in a port. This center has an obvious influence on the circumference, traffic and port service, and can make infrastructures to improve the service. Because of new distribution and public economy, influence of this system on transportation division can be sensible. The function of this center on economic logistic zone can be predicted and evaluated by direct and indirect influence, cost consideration and profits on service level. To provide enough potential to improve traffic level and facility development, logistic center can be a good reason. The system efficiency in road traffic decrease and local transportation and cost decrease in order to invert logistic is emphasized. This paper shows that existence of logistic center can increase port efficiency and income and decrease transportation chain costs.

Maritime industry is one of the most dangerous industries and individuals involved in it are very accident prone. In the recent years, health, safety, and environmental issues have considered by a new approach. By this approach, organizations have aimed to prepare a master plan in order to organize a strategic action.This paper considers the necessity of HSE strategic planning with regard to worldwide HSE strategies. Assessing the countries and external and internal organizations showed that organizations begin to consider HSE by a strategic approach and most of the World Class organizations have prepared a HSE strategic management program and aligned their activities along with it.

To assess the competence of seafarers, a research has been done. Assessment is an important function in training courses. This function could be considered in three areas: 1) training seafarers, 2) improving the professional knowledge, and 3) generating knowledge and facilitating training functions in maritime industry.Therefore, an assessment program is expected to react to the requirements of maritime society in regard to training courses, training programming, and decision makers in training processes. This reaction plays an important role in the sustainable development and content of maritime training. Also, it can affect the maritime workplace by improving the quality of operations. In the other hand, seafaring is an international profession and it is necessary for maritime training centers and management systems to assess their function in the workplace to act properly. Also, it is necessary to completely be aware of the standpoints of the other societies which are in contact with maritime society. This research is a descriptive study and its results include at least 12 processes and 15 indexes -from the beneficiaries, master seafarers, training centers and self-assessment standpoint- for the seafarers who work on under 500 TEUs, 500 to 3000 TEUs, and up to 3000 TEUs vessels. Furthermore, this study compares the function of Iranian and Non-Iranian seafarers.

Modeling and simulation are essential tools for the design and analysis of container terminals. A computer model can emulate the activities at various levels of details and capture the essential interactions among the subsystems. Analysis based on the simulation is particularly useful for designing new terminals, making modifications to existing terminals, and evaluating the benefits of new resources or impacts of operation policies.We present a scalable tool that integrates all the activities of a terminal. The system incorporates methods to generate realistic vessel arrival patterns and can track the moves of millions of containers from their arrival to departure. The simulation system is applied to analyze three container terminals in this region, and it was found to be effective in replicating realistic operations as well as in conducting capacity evaluations.
