As a facility with high capital investment, container terminal tends to be operated with maximum capacity by using high utilization of facilities and equipment rather than a proper throughput. However, a high utilization is leading to the ships waiting time and as consequence lowering the service level. Therefore a study is needed to determine the proper capacity by considering the interest of …
Container terminal performance is largely determined by its design decisions, which include the number and type of quay cranes, stack cranes, transport vehicles, vehicle travel path and stack layout.We investigate the orientation of the stack layout (parallel or perpendicular to the quayside) on the throughput time performance of the terminals. Previous studies in this area typically use deter…
Truck queuing at marine terminal gates has long been recognized as a source of emissions problem due to the large number of trucks idling. For this reason, there is a great deal of interest among the different stakeholders to lessen the severity of the problem. An approach being experimented by some terminals to reduce truck queuing at the terminal is to provide live views of their gates via we…
After the 2010 canal deepening project, the permissible draft through the Suez Canal was increased from 62 to 66 feet. Most types of container ships and bulk carriers can pass through the Canal. The queuing problem at the anchorage of the Canal is worsening because an increasing number of ships are willing to cross the Canal to reach their destination ports. To solve this problem, this article …
Queuing models and simulation are two primary methods applied to container terminal planning. Queuing models tend to result in underestimated outcomes due to ships and berths not being classified by size and length. This paper classified both ships and berths using actual data and then compared the resultant differences of the scenarios with and without classification with the simulation. The c…
Indonesia Kendaraan Terminal (1KT) is dedicated terminal to handling vehicle cargo, currently, IKT has one entrance gate and 14 ground slots for trucks. It causes a queue at certain hours because of the trucks coming at the same time. Therefore a study is needed to determine the proper capacity for Receiving and delivery operation by considering the needed the terminal management who desire to …
Terminal capacity is to be considered by the management to keep terminal services efficiently. Lack of terminal capacity will leverage congestion in the port and in turn will give bad influence for international trading growth. Considering cargo forecasting at Tanjung Priok Car Terminal (TPT), they still have an idle capacity of berth but having a critical point in the yard capacity. Proper thr…
This research paper tries to look at the proper container-handling on port operations including quay crane productivity. There arc single and double cycling model that can be analyzed. Single cycling model is known as a conventional model which operates all unloading and loading sequence separately. Double cycling model is a complex model by combining unloading operation with loading operation …
