CONTAINER TERMINAL OPERATIONS

SECTION 1
  • Containerisation and its Evolution

3
  • Development of Cargo Handling
  • Bulk / Break Bulk
  • Unitization
  • Lash System
  • Palletisation
  • Containerisation

4
Containerisation An innovative concept
Containerisation is a system of intermodal
freight transport using standard ISO Containers
that can be loaded and sealed intact onto
container ships, rail and road trailers.
5
History of Containerisation
  • Initially used by railroads small containers of
    5 to 10 long, wooden and non-stackable.
  • Towards end of World War II, US Army used
    standard containers transporters with
    dimensions of 8.5 feet (2.6 m) long, 6.25 feet
    (1.91 m) wide, and 6.83 feet (2.08 m) high, made
    of rigid steel with carrying capacity of 9000 lbs
  • April 26, 1956 Malcolm McLean loaded the first
    lot of 58 x 35 containers aboard a refitted
    tanker ship named Ideal X from Port Newark to
    Houston. (Large size containers without need to
    open in transit from shipper to the consignee).
  • 1950s - Port of New York Authority built Port
    Elizabeth Marine Terminal Worlds first
    Container Terminal.

6
Classification of Containers
  • By Size
  • 20 Feet
  • 40 Feet
  • By type
  • General Cargo Container
  • Open Top Container
  • Flat Container
  • Liquid / Gas Container
  • Thermal Container

7
Standardisation of Handling Equipment

SECTION 2
  • Container Terminal Operations

CONTAINER TERMINAL
A container terminal is a facility where
containers are received, stored and then
delivered. The containers entry and exit can be
by sea, rail or road.

Typical Container Terminal
Vessel
Operating Zone For Ship
Stacking Area For Import And Export Containers
Special Containers
Empty Containers
Exchange And Transfer Zone

Container Terminal Activities
12
Container Entry / Exit By Road
Container entering / exiting the Gate Complex
and its details entered into the computer
13
Work Queue in VMTs (Vehicle Mounted Terminal)
The software available generates the yard
location of the container and displays it on the
VMT fitted into the Container Handling Equipment

Parameters Commonly Used
  • Permissible Draft indicates the depth available
    at the port.
  • Productivity GMPH (Gross Moves Per Hour), SMPH
    (Ship Moves Per Hour), BMPH (Berth Moves Per
    Hour)
  • Throughput is amount of container exchange
    occurred within a stipulated time frame. Normally
    throughput is calculated with the number of
    working days in a year.
  • Dwell time is the average time a container spends
    in the terminal.
  • Berth Occupancy indicates the percentage
    utilisation of the berth length.
  • Vessel Turnaround Time is the duration of vessel
    arrival at port to its departure.
  • and many others.

Selection of Yard Equipments
System Features Tractor/ Chassis System Straddle Carrier Yard Gantry Crane System (RTGC,RMGC etc.) Front End Loaders (Reach stackers, Top Loaders, Fork Lifts etc.)
Load Utilization Very Poor 185 TEU / Hectare Good 385 TEU / Hectare Very Good 750 TEU / Hectare Poor 275 TEU / Hectare
Terminal Development Costs Very Low High quality Surfacing not Necessary Medium Hard Wearing Surface Needed High High load bearing surface needed for crane wheels High heavy wear on terminal Surface
Equipment Cost High large number of chassis required Moderate six straddle carriers per ship / shore cranes High Moderate cost effective for low throughputs
Equipment Maintenance Cost low High Low Medium
Manning Level and Skill High more men But low skill Required Low less men High Skill Required High more men medium high skill required Medium Men Medium Skill Requirement
Operating Factors Good Accessibility, Simple terminal Operation High Flexibility , Good Stacking Good Land use, Scope For Automation Versatile Equipment

SURVIVAL OF THE LARGEST

6000 Large Post Panamax 6000 8000 Super Post
Panamax 12500 (Mega Vessels) By 2011, Post
Panamax Vessels will contribute 50 of all
container slots
24
SURVIVAL OF THE LARGEST
  • Shipping Economics is driven by need to fill the
    vessel to achieve low unit slot costtherefore
  • More consolidation
  • Slot sharinggradual exit of smaller vessels
  • Increase in bunker prices will accentuate cost
    difference
  • Ship call frequency to decrease due to larger
    ships and bigger parcel size
  • Reduced Port Calls as ports with low load factor
    will be dropped out.

25
SURVIVAL OF THE LARGEST
  • FUTURE SCENARIO
  • Regional Ports (Ports that serve intra continent
    of intra-regional (intra-asia) trades) may become
    regional hubs and attract more transshipment
    traffic
  • Feeder Ports (Ports that feed or receive cargo to
    and from regional port or major hub port) that
    are unable to feed to larger ships will be
    marginalised

26
SURVIVAL OF THE LARGEST
  • FUTURE SCENARIO
  • Ports will have to
  • Review its position as a Regional or Feeder Port
  • Review their hinterland traffic and connectivity
    (rail and road) Is it sufficient and well
    connected?
  • Marine Infrastructure Deep draft, Tugs
  • Container Handling Equipments Twin Lift, Triple
    Lift, Quad Lift.
  • Yard Space Larger space required for higher
    parcel size, especially for transshipment
    traffic.
  • Advance Technology in all aspects Vessel
    Planning, Yard Management, Gate Entry / Exit
  • Administration Bureaucracy, Customs procedures
    etc

Summary
  • Containerisation has brought about the concepts
    of standarisation, fixed schedules, faster
    transit, and safe efficient handling of cargo.
  • Exclusive Container Port Terminal for the
    handling of Specialised Container Vessels with
    state-of-the-art handling equipments.
  • Larger vessel sizes will require Mega Container
    Terminals with advanced infrastructural
    facilities..
