The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and productivity Quay Container Crane (QCC) work through value OEE (availability, performance, quality) identify losses affecting QCC. method used a explorative descriptive analysis, which exposes availability, performance quality based on actual data information by collecting, compiling, classifying analysing about Crane. results are ...

International sea-freight container transportation has grown dramatically over the last years and container terminals represent nowadays a key actor in the global shipping network. Terminal managers have to face with an increasing competitiveness among terminals, which require more and more efficiency in container operations both along the quayside and within the yard: the objective is usually ...

We present a dynamical modeling of integrated (end-to-end) container terminal operations using finite state machine (FSM) framework where each is represented by discrete-event system (DES) formulation. The hybrid model incorporates the quay cranes (QC), internal trucks (IT), and yard (YC) also selection storage positions in (CY) vessel bays. QC YC are connected IT our models. As opposed to comm...

Container terminal (CT) operations are often bottlenecked by slow YC (yard crane) movements. PM (prime mover) queues in front of the YCs are common. Hence, efficient YC scheduling to reduce the PM waiting time is critical in increasing a CT’s throughput. We develop an efficient model for YC scheduling by taking into account realistic operational constraints such as inter-crane interference, fix...

In order to accommodate the growing intercontinental container transport, port facilities have to be up-scaled drastically. The challenge is to develop facilities that can handle a new generation of ships, the jumbo container vessels, with a capacity of 8,000 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) or more. The total in-port time to serve these jumbos is set at 24 hours. This amounts to almost double...
