Abstract

Industrial Plants related to Chemical Products such as Ethylene are crucial and requires to properly design dynamic Logistics solutions dealing with Technical Issues, Safety, Risks, Market Demand. This paper focuses mostly on properly define a solution to manage the Marine Logistics between chemical production facilities and the Industrial Plants using it as source material. The paper identifies the crucial aspects of this problem as well as the way to use Modeling and Simulation in this sector in combination with other innovative smart techniques within the framework of the Strategic Engineering
