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).
"The Competitiveness of global Port-Cities: Synthesis Report". 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.
"Port Spatial Development and Theory of Constraints", Wing Yee Tracy Chan and Tsz Leung Yip
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.
Capacity of container ships in seaborne trade from 1980 to 2016 (in million dwt)
Motivation
Technical objectives
• An advanced automated navigation solution based on the integration of GNSS and sensors
• A GIS-based control module compatible with existing Terminal Operating Systems (TOS)
• A security mechanism in order to detect and avoid cyber-attacks

TOS
1. Container Movement Orders (Origin-Destination –Container ID)
2. Decide on SC assignment and routing based on:- Current location/status- Optimal route
3. Send job order:- Origin-destination- Optimal route
4. Receive position & status updates. Possible re-routing
5. Confirm on job conclusion

• Emergency Stop (SIL 3)

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
