CALL FOR PAPERSSpecial Issue on "Maritime and Port Logistics - Operations Modeling and Sustainable Development" of the XXIII International Conference on Material Handling, Constructions and Logistics (MHCL 2019)
As part of the International Conference MHCL 2019, a special session on Maritime and Port Logistics (MPL) is calling for papers on Operations Modeling and Sustainable Development.
This Special Session will be held in Bar (Montenegro) from the 1st to the 2nd July, 2019. The best rated papers from this special session will be selected for the Special Issue.
The area of MHCL has been gaining a new momentum at the beginning of 21st century. Modern machinery, materials handling and logistics systems today employ fast-developing advanced technologies, which require deep interdisciplinary expertise to ensure successful implementation. To addressing these issues, MHCL conferences have become an important academic event of long history, bringing together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on related topics. MHCL 2019 is organized by the Engineering Design and Logistics Engineering, Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), Austria together with Department of Material Handling, Constructions and Logistics, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Belgrade, Serbia. It will be held in Wien (Austria) from the 18th to the 20th September 2019.
It has been a tradition of MHCL since 2009 to organize a Special Session E: Maritime and Port Logistics (MPL), which plays a vital role in the global transportation systems. This MPL session is organized twice a year, e.g. in 2017 the First Part of the MPL was held in Belgrade (the Belgrade conference) and the Second Part of the MPL was held in Bar (the Bar conference). This year the MPL special session, with the theme of Operations Modeling and Sustainable Development (OM&SD), will be organized as two parts again:
1. Bar (Montenegro) from 1st to 2nd July 2019 and2. Wien (Austria) from 18th to 20th September 2019.
MPL–OM&SD will provide an interdisciplinary forum for exchange of ideas and discussion of new results and crucial achievements in the Maritime and Port Logistics field, with respect to better understanding of MPL–OM&SD fundamental properties as well as applications. Novel materials and modeling will receive special attention. This Special issue will gather selected high-quality papers addressing all aspects, not limited to the ones listed below. All works related to developments and applications of logistics and maritime systems are welcome. Authors who cannot attend the conference session are also encouraged to submit their papers directly to the Journal. The special issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
General Study Approach for Maritime & Port Logistics Operations Modeling in Maritime & Port Logistics Maritime Containerization Industry Ports and Terminals Modeling Green Shipping and Ports Digitalization in Shipping Logistics A Sustainable Development in Maritime & Port Logistics Correlation of Port Logistics & Sustainable Tourism Trends in Cruise Shipping, Ports and Marinas Energy Efficiency in Maritime & Port Logistics Ship-Port Interface in Sustainable Development Europe-Asia shipping Logistics Connectivity

a paper related to the special issue on "Global Climate Change & Adaptation" which will be published in the journal AIMS Environmental Science.
Guest Editor:Dr. Samuel Asumadu SarkodieDepartment of Environmental Science, Macquarie University, Australia
Submission due date: 30 December 2019.
Introduction of the special issue:
Climate change mitigation and its impact play a critical role in achieving the global warming target of below 2 degree Celsius expounded in the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (21st session of the Conference of Parties). The adoption of the agenda for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 has established the prefix for the integration and implementation of sustainable climate policies.
The escalation of human activities has been associated with the growing levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, hence, exacerbating climate change impacts such as flooding, cyclones, wildfires, extreme temperatures, among others.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report links the immediate causes of increasing levels of GHG emissions to economic sectors such as energy production and consumption, agricultural, forestry and land use, transportation, industrialization, etc..
While there have been reports of improving environmental sustainability, a recent study by Sarkodie and Strezov on the “Economic, social and governance adaptation readiness for mitigation of climate change vulnerability: Evidence from 192 countries” revealed that climate change vulnerability is high in developing countries like Africa and some part of Asia due to low adaptive capacity and low readiness to climate change mitigation. Hence, studies on global climate change and adaptation are essential to increasing the global debate on environmental sustainability.
In line with the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, we hereby invite scientific papers that address the global climate change and adaptation options on the following subtopics but not limited to Energy Issues, Food, Water, Cities, Oceans, Agricultural, Forestry and Land Use.For more information about the potential topics, please refer to the special issue webpage: Available at: http://www.aimspress.com/newsinfo/1220.html
AIMS Environmental Science is an international Open Access journal indexed by WoS and Scopus and devoted to publishing peer-reviewed, high quality, original papers in the field of Environmental Science.

Special Issue: Design, management, sustainability and evaluation of transportation systems in the Arctic
The Arctic provides numerous benefits and should have promising economic development in the long run. First, it offers a distance shortcut between North America, Europe and Asia. Second, it is an area that includes wide hydrocarbon fields. Third, it has a potential to attract cruisers and passenger vessels during the summer season. Notwithstanding these positive elements, a number of challenges remain ahead.
Analyzing the development of the Arctic and in particular the Arctic economic activities such as shipping, requires to consider numerous aspects (Lasserre, 2014): governance, legal framework, environmental protection and shipping infrastructure. The management, feasibility and profitability of the different development options of the Arctic are impacted by harsh climate conditions, a very low density of population and the remoteness of human settlement. It is
also influenced by the difficulty to reach the oil and gas fields, as well as minerals mines, and to export them to their final markets outside the Arctic zone (Faury and Cariou, 2016).
Severe climate conditions (extreme cold, ice presence, permafrost and long period of darkness) combined with remoteness and low density of human infrastructures also represent a risk for the human activities in this area, both on sea and on land.
Moreover, the extraction of hydrocarbons and minerals, the sustained growth of shipping, the construction of plants and ports entail more risks for the fragile Arctic environment. Whereas the continued investments in Search and Rescue centers, their density is still obviously too weak in regards of the extreme low resiliency of the Arctic ecosystem. Besides, there has been no ban so far either on the carriage or the use of Heavy Fuel Oil and the Arctic is not yet categorized as an Emission Control or Particularly Sensitive Sea Area.
Thus, to offer a sustainable socio-economic development, different policy options and numerous tools are designed to address these issues. From a legal point of view, the recent IMO Polar Code sets out mandatory safety and environmental requirements for Arctic navigation. From a risk management point of view, forecasting the ice conditions via the use of Big Data may avoid the risk of ice related blockages, collision, oil spills, and hull damages. Anticipating the climate conditions may also help the management of mega-projects such as the implementation of new ports or plants and the supply of local communities settled in remote areas.
By positioning itself within the editorial line of Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, this special issue aims to contemplate the numerous aspects related to the Arctic activities, and shipping in particular, in a framework of utmost respect for its fragile and low resilient environment. As such themes of interest include: design of transportation systems, socio-economic development, ports and shipping infrastructures, governance and Arctic shipping law or legal frameworks, risk management.
