Container Rehandling at Maritime Container Terminals

2011
In this paper, we review recent contributions dealing with the rehandling of containers at maritime container terminals. The problems studied in the paper refer to a post-stacking situation, i.e. problems arising after the stacking area has already been arranged.

The container terminal community

Maritime Policy & Management, 2001
Over the past 30 years, technological developments have not only affected the design and operation of the port function, but also the organizational and institutional relationships within the port community. Two inter-organizational interaction models are presented, drawing on the findings of over 200 in-depth interviews with senior managers ...

An Ontology for Container Terminal Operations

2014
In this paper we describe the desctop ontology for container terminal operations. It is a semantic-based representation of the main functions of a container terminal, in order to formally represent the operational flows which the terminal operators should be supported in.

Container Terminal Operations

2017
Container vessels are scheduled to visit a set of container terminals along their route. Import containers will be unloaded from the vessel while export containers will be loaded at each terminal. Berthing times at terminals are considered as non-value activities and for that reason need to be minimised.

Pavements for Container Terminals

2020
The pavement of container terminals requires high investment costs. In case its design is not appropriate to subsoil conditions and load impacts, any necessary reconstruction is time-consuming and costly. The latter also implies to an overdesign of the pavement. After a compilation of terminal equipment loads, the chapter gives an overview of practical

Dwell times of containers to container terminals

2014
The development of dwell times of imported containers to the hinterland at seaport container terminals is analyzed. A case is developed where containers are transported from a major seaport container terminal in the Netherlands to its nearby hinterland through a multimodal hinterland network controlled by an intermodal inland carrier.

Sea Container Terminals [PDF]

, 2014
Due to a rapid growth in world trade and a huge increase in containerized goods, sea container terminals play a vital role in globe-spanning supply chains. Container terminals should be able to handle large ships, with large call sizes within the shortest time possible, and at competitive rates.
