【 摘 要 】

Inland waterways are presented both as a need and an opportunity for developing anintermodal transport system to boost Colombian economic growth. Riverine transportation aspart of an intermodal system represents conveying a significant amount of cargo at a low costand therefore reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To competitively include this cargotransportation alternative in an intermodal context, the development of effective containervessels is required. Most of the Colombian rivers present sedimentary, high flow, and low depthnature. Then, the design of riverine cargo vessels capable of navigating in shallow waters withless brake power requirements is needed. A synthesis model: an automatic and integrated designprocedure, has been programmed to generate and evaluate feasible vessel dimensions at aconceptual design stage. Through systematic variations of the main dimensions, this procedureallows evaluating a design space in which the most effective concept-vessel solution is selected.At the end of this procedure, the main characteristics for container vessels in the MagdalenaRiver at a conceptual design stage, are defined. Validation of the synthesis model with a riverinelogistic support ship is provided.
