Building Information Modeling (BIM)

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM)
1. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure

Feeder Vessel and Feeder Ports

1. A feeder vessel is a vessel that “feeds” the large ocean vessels with containers. 

2. A feeder port is a port where the large ocean vessels normally don’t go. Partly because there are not enough containers to load onto a large ocean vessel or because the port is not large enough to handle the large ocean vessels.

3. Feeder ports and feeder vessels play a very important role in the worldwide transportation of containers. 

Freight Village: European Models

1. The “freight villages” (english designation) are called in different ways depending on the country:

“Interporti” in Italy;
“Transport Centres” in Denmark;
“Gunterverkehrszentren” in Germany;
“Zonas de Actividaedes Logisticas” in Spain.

2. The different experiences of achievement show differences in the organization of infrastructure and services that offer the same logistics platforms.

Inland Ports

1. Some countries imports a lot of goods, and these imports must enter the country through a few seaports. Often, these seaports become bottlenecks; in addition to offloading freight, they must function as distribution hubs.
