NAMING CONVENTION
Communication Designation
Designation of conduits
between Owner (P), Operator
(T), and Crane Manufacturer
(C) is imperative.

Lessons Learned
Paradigm Shift in Container Terminal
Design
Early Expectations from ALL Stakeholders
Crane Equipment, Operations & Civil Design
are Integrated
Development of New Standards
Communication is Key!
