This paper examines innovations in logistics and container shipping technologies that might be useful in creating a more competitive coastal shipping system in the Yellow Sea region. The float/on float/off (FLO/FLO) container barge carrier is proposed as a good alternative to accommodate the increase in container volumes moving in and out of marine ports without creating larger vessels and ports. Innovative logistics methods such as models for barge framework design and modal transport planning need to be used in a systems approach to solve container transport problems. A hypothetical short sea shipping system using barge carrier and floating marine terminal technology is presented and discussed. This FLO/FLO barge carrier system along with onboard crane technology has application for coastal and inland water transportation, short sea shipping in the Yellow Sea region, and for ocean shipping to and from regions beyond the Yellow Sea.
