How to Select Three-Phase Folding Containers for Port Terminals

What are the main factors of container terminal planning?

The most significant aspects of operational container terminal planning include berth, yard, equipment (includes vessels, cranes, and vehicles) and workforce planning. In this extended post / whitepaper, we discuss the main factors of container terminal planning and ways to optimize them. Table of contents:

What are the most important aspects of operational planning for a container terminal?

The most significant aspects of operational planning for a container terminal include berth, yard, equipment (including vessels, cranes, and vehicles), and workforce planning.

What is the optimal container terminal design?

The optimal container terminal design is rectangular, but the relationship between water, yard, and gate capacity varies according to the terminal function. Container yards, with aligned rectangular stacks, are the primary explanatory factor for the propensity of container terminals to be rectangular.

Can a floating port terminal expand container handling capacity?

The design and development of an offshore port terminal is a complex task that involves distinctive design and decision challenges. In this paper, we propose the implementation of a floating, modular, platform that can act as an additional terminal of a port, with the aim of expanding its current container handling capacity.
