Total annual volume of container shipping is continuously

growing since the 80’s

Motivation

Container shipping trade in millions tones loaded (source: statista.com)

Motivation

"The Competitiveness of global Port-Cities: Synthesis Report". OECD, 2014.

The increase will push terminals’ utilization rates to 75 percent

in 2018 from the 68 percent of 2013 (Drewry 2014).

Motivation

Industry intelligence shows that a yard occupancy ratio of

around 70% will allow terminals to work at maximum

efficiency, while working consistently above this threshold will

reduce efficiency (OECD 2014).

Motivation

The usual way for ports to deal with the increasing demand of sea transport

and compete against competitors is to expand the port in the original site.

Motivation

"Port Spatial Development and Theory of Constraints", Wing Yee Tracy Chan and Tsz Leung Yip

The scarcity of land available in densely populated urban areas and the

high investment costs associated with port development.

Service Level GainsPark to yard

Service description Current performance / Limitation Objective / Indicator to measure

Dispatching of job orders to straddle

carriers

The dispatching rules do not take into account the current

position of the straddle carrier and their distance to the origin of

the movement

Reduction of total driven

kilometres

Straddle carrier routing The dispatching rules do not take into account the individual

routing of the straddle carrier to minimise driven kilometres and

maintenance costs

Reduction of Total driven

kilometres

Reduction of Maintenance costs

Combined CHE operations on container

receipt/delivery through the gates

(Double cycling)

Currently the container movement from yard to parking slot is

not combined with a reverse movement to avoid empty returns

of CHE

Reduction of Total driven

kilometres

Increased CHE efficiency (moves

per hour)

24X7 operations Currently – due to personnel shortages – the trucks are serviced

only during working days

Gate throughput increase

Yard to ship

Service description Current performance / Limitation Objective / Indicator to measure

Straddle carrier positioning below quay

crane during vessel loading

Currently the straddle carrier is not aware of the exact position

that it has to deliver the container below the QC (in relation to

the spreader)

QC increased efficiency (moves

per hour)

Container storage

Service description Current performance / Limitation Objective / Indicator to measure

Straddle carrier picks up and delivers a

container

Currently the confirmation on successful collection or delivery of

a container by straddle carrier is based on the input provided

manually by the driver

Minimise errors / Reported

misplaced containers

Straddle carrier positions a container at

the assigned yard slot

Currently the information on delivery of container at the

assigned slot in yard is only based on manual confirmation by

the driver

Minimise errors / Reported

misplaced containers

Straddle carrier picks up the correct

container

Currently this depends on the manual confirmation by the driver Minimise errors / Reported

misplaced containers

Straddle carriers working on same (or

adjacent) rows

Container storage sequencing in order to avoid straddle carrier

movements on same block/row and possible collisions
