▼ [pt] Nesta dissertação aborda-se um problema pouco
estudado - o processo de planejamento/programação de saída de
contêineres de importação, movimentados por reach stackers.
Clientes pré-agendam a retirada de seus contêineres em janelas de
tempo de duas horas, sem especificação de horário. Efetua-se a
présegregação dos contêineres na noite anterior à da efetiva
entrega, com a formação de pilhas por faixa de horário e área
buffer para a movimentação. A proposta deste trabalho é identificar
e avaliar comparativamente as variáveis de desempenho envolvidas no
atendimento de um máximo de 30 contêineres em cada janela de tempo,
estruturados em seis pilhas de cinco contêineres de altura cada.
São analisadas duas regras de sequenciamento diversas: (a) Primeiro
a entrar, primeiro a sair (PEPS) e (b) Tempo de processamento
mínimo (SPT) ou Movimentação Mínima (que se confundem neste
problema). O modelo é necessariamente de simulação, uma vez que o
processo em estudo envolve a movimentação de pilhas de contêineres
(formadas aleatoriamente), com acesso por equipamentos stackers
(segundo políticas de acesso típicas), e chegada das carretas com
ordenamento aleatório, segundo distribuição própria. Com a
aplicação do modelo, conclui-se que, num regime de atendimento
PEPS, a janela de tempo de duas horas é insuficiente para atender à
demanda de 30 (trinta) contêineres em um regime de chegada segundo
Poisson. Já no segundo regime de atendimento estudado, com
atendimento seletivo de fila de espera segundo critério decisório
de movimentação mínima esperada, os resultados foram bastantes mais
promissores embora insuficientes ao atendimento das carretas, em
média, na janela de tempo disponibilizada e nas condições
operacionais oferecidas pela instalação. Cenários outros foram
simulados e seus resultados devidamente avaliados.
[en] In this work, the focus is on a rarely studied
problem in the technical literature - the inbound containers
(importation) process delivery, with reach stackers for moving the
containers . In this process, customers schedule their containers
withdrawal in one of the several allowable time windows - two hours
time, without fixed arrival order. Containers pre-segregation
occurs in the night before the effective delivery day. Thirty
containers are stacked by time windows in six stacks five
containers high and a buffer area allocated for subsidiary
movements. The purpose of this work is to identify and to evaluate
comparatively the key performance indicators associated with the
thirty containers maximum delivery levels in each time window. The
model is necessarily a simulation one, because it involves the
container stack packing (random), its access and movement by reach
stacker equipment (with typical access policies) and the truck
arrival for withdrawing the container (also random). Two different
sequencing rules are compared - first in, first out (FIFO) and
smallest processing time (SPT). Solving the model in a FIFO
delivery discipline, the conclusion is that the two hours time
window is insufficient to deal with…

▼ Container traffic has grown exponentially since 1980 and has become a reliable and efficient means of transportation of goods. In addition, world wide containerization and the availability of cheap and frequent container transport to all corners of the world have had a profound influence on industrial production, transport and the environment. All these aspects result in increasing the pressure on container terminals to provide good service to shipping companies. The Royal Haskoning Maritime Division (hereafter, RHMD) deals internationally with development of different types of terminals such as container, liquid and dry bulk. Due to involvement of numerous stockholders in a port planning project, different design concepts may be considered to satisfy interests of different stockholder; therefore, various scenarios should be studied quantitatively. As an international maritime consultant, it is of crucial importance to own a simple and cheap tool to estimate the dimension of a container terminal. The goal of this study is to develop a tool for engineers to prepare concepts of terminal layout, and estimate the required areas of those concepts, for sake of comparison, for design of a new container terminal. Container terminal design is divided into “waterside” and “landside” areas. Waterside consists of a quay for serving vessels. Landside consists of a storage yard for stacking containers and a hinterland area for serving truck and trains. The developed package, in two consecutive steps, first, accepts the waterside, landside and cost estimation information, such as terminal throughput, downtime, stack occupancy, and second, requires the possible equipment concepts, such as ship to shore cranes and reach stackers etc. Based on the above input data, the performance of the terminal concepts is quantitatively evaluated. Eventually, the dimensions of the container terminal yard are presented. The container terminal design tool is verified against two formerly performed projects (in India and Guatemala) that have been successfully designed at RHMD. The validation showed good performance of the tool, with justified differences compared to actual designed values. As a case study, the package is also applied on design of a container terminal for a port in Angola. In this case study, four different scenarios and their impacts on layout dimensions are considered and analyzed.

▼ Container terminals have become important components in global logistics and transportation. The continuing growth of
container transport is adding pressure to
container terminals to improve efficiency. The problem of managing
container terminals has a number of characteristics which make agents a suitable technology to consider applying. There is operation of distributed entities (e.g. quay cranes, straddle carriers) during
container terminal operation; furthermore, the entities are autonomous, and coordinate to achieve competing goals in a dynamic environment.
This research is a joint industry-university project which has explored the applicability of agent technology to the domain of
container terminal management. The aim of this research is to develop an agent-based solution to allocating containers to straddle carriers in order to improve efficiency and reduce the ship turnaround time.
We developed an agent-based mechanism for allocating
container moves to straddle carriers. The mechanism uses a negotiation process to allocate containers to straddle carriers. We have implemented this negotiation-based approach for
container management using of a Tabu Search framework (OpenTS).
The results of the research indicate that the performance of the port can be improved by an agent-based approach. In particular, an agent-based technique is a natural choice for a
container terminal operation which has high level of detail and is a dynamic environment.

▼ Oxelösunds hamn har identifierat den kombinerade depån och terminalen de driver i Stålhamnen, Oxelösund, som en trång sektor. Depån och terminalen undersöktes med hänseende på hur den fysiska hanteringen påverkar uppfattningen om att de bidrar till att ytan de bedrivs på ses som en trång sektor. Även informationsflödet kartlades för att dels undersöka hur containrar fraktas till och från depån samt hur frakten initieras och hur det påverkar trångheten. Undersökningen tog sin ståndpunkt i ett systemsynsätt genom intervjuer och deltagande i verksamheten som Oxelösunds hamn bedriver på ytan. Genom intervjuer och deltagande i verksamheten har både dokumenterade och odokumenterade aktiviteter identifierats gällande både den fysisk hanteringen och informationsflödet. Under arbetets gång blev det även tydligt att alla personer som kommer i kontakt med antingen den fysiska hanteringen eller informationsflödet inte nödvändigtvis har samma syn på systemet. Ibland saknas en helhetssyn över systemet och man känner endast till sina närmsta parter i kedjan. I dagsläget är det osäkert hur avsaknaden av helhetssyn påverkar den fysiska hanteringen och informationsflödet på och kring ytan. Det är dock ingen fråga om huruvida det påverkar eller ej, för på något vis medför avsaknaden av kännedom om systemet problem i det. Resultatet pekar på att det finns förbättringspotential i både den fysiska hanteringen såväl som informationsflödet mellan de tre företagen som gör att depån och terminalen fungerar som den ska. Resultatet pekar även på att ytan som depån och terminalen idag bedrivs på inte är den trånga sektor Oxelösunds hamn antagit den varit. Depån och terminalen är inte en trång sektor då ytan idag ska ha en överkapacitet gentemot de verksamheter som de servar i antal containrar per år som kan passera.

▼ Bahía Blanca in Buenos Aires province is located 600 kilometres south of Buenos Aires city. The port complex of Bahía Blanca has the second largest throughput in Argentina considering tons, mainly attributed to the agro – and petrochemical industry. The port handles containers as well, however with an average of 30 thousand TEU/year this throughput is rather small. The authority of the Port of Bahía Blanca sees opportunities to increase container throughput in the port due to recent developments in the region. The container throughput is estimated for 2040, considering the petrochemical cluster and fruits. Four different trends show a container throughput of respectively 30, 155, 250 and 360 thousand TEU/year. The capacity of the container terminal is estimated at 50 thousand TEU/year, based on the equipment, the dwell time and the terminal area. The terminal should improve when throughput will increase. To start, number of calls and call size are assumed based on future throughput, decreasing the average dwell time for export containers. Additionally, a larger quantity and more advanced equipment is required to handle the increase in throughput. Lastly, the terminal area itself can be increased significantly from 8ha to 22ha in its maximum configuration. The increase in storage area allows the capacity to grow from 50 thousand TEU/year to 215 thousand TEU/year. It is important to realize that further expansion of the terminal is not possible and a new location has to be considered. A multi criteria analysis in combination with a financial analysis on the possible location showed that two out of four possible new locations are suitable for the development of a new container terminal. The new container terminal should have the capacity to handle the expected container throughput generated locally. The possibility to attract additional cargo to the port was researched as well, since the Port of Bahía Blanca has an advantageous depth compared to the Port of Buenos Aires. However, on the short term it is not expected that Bahía Blanca can profit from the draught limitations in Buenos Aires since port calling cost are almost the same, Buenos Aires is located conveniently and not operating at capacity and current shipping routes are not expected to change their routes majorly.

▼ Terminals are encouraged to redesign their operations to facilitate future growth of container freight. Routing of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) can contribute significantly to this trend. Traditional routing, as implemented in real-life terminals, uses a topology of paths. To improve flexibility and scalability of the AGV system, a promising control method is already proposed in literature that does not require a topology of paths: free-ranging. For local control methods, problems are expected to rise near the cranes where the risk of deadlocks is high due to crowding. A new routing type is proposed in this paper that is aims to combine the benefits of free-range and traditional routing: mixed routing. A topology of paths is implemented near the quay cranes (QCs) to guide the AGV flow, the rest of the terminal is a free-range zone. This study compares traditional, free-range and mixed routing on both routing- and terminal performance for several QC capacities.

▼ New container ports are mostly constructed on low lying coastal areas or in shallow coastal waters. The quay wall and terminal yard are then raised to a level well above mean sea level to insure safety against inundation. The resulting ‘conventional terminal’ requires large volumes of good quality fill material often dredged from the sea which is costly. Royal HaskoningDHV developed the concept of a container terminal with a “polder yard”. The yard would lie below the outside water level and be surrounded by a combined quay wall flood defense structure. A water drainage system is required to drain excess water from the polder. This master thesis investigates the technical and economic feasibility. Important conditions for the feasibility of a polder terminal are low conductive (impermeable) subsoil, which limit the amount of seepage water entering the polder, and high reclamation cost. The polder terminal is technically feasible; a conceptual design is made for a case study in Tuas, Singapore. The ‘polder terminal’ could save 10 to 25% of the total cost (investment and risk) due to the lower reclamation cost. The exact saving depends on the polder depth which is bounded by uplifting failure of the polder yard. The increase in cost due to the risk of inundation and water drainage system is insufficient to counteract the large savings possible. The investments, risk and total cost of both the conventional and polder terminal are shown in the graph, where the minimum total cost of the polder terminal are lower than those of the conventional terminal.

▼ This study examines the contribution of a maintenance strategy utilised at the Durban
Container Terminal in meeting in achieving the objectives of the Market Demand Strategy. An organisation’s maintenance strategy needs to be aligned to the firm’s chosen and followed strategy. Poorly aligned, implemented or monitored maintenance strategy, has proven to contribute in the wastage of resources due to poor foresight, poor planning, increases in overtime cost and inferior quality which could affect the customer relations.
The study aims to assess the effectiveness of the maintenance strategy as well as the alignment by concentrating on the following questions namely: 1. Determining the effectiveness of the maintenance strategy used at the
terminal, 2. Comparison of the
terminal maintenance strategy to others, 3. Assess the perception of the employees, 4. Synergy between the Market Demand Strategy and the maintenance strategy, and 5. Factors that may influence the maintenance strategy. Chapter 5 follows each of these questions with discussions and recommendations emanating from the answers given by respondents
The researcher adopted qualitative research approach, aiming to source as much detailed and sufficient information as possible from the respondents. The study targeted mainly the technicians, engineers, supervisors and managers within the maintenance department as these are individuals responsible for the implementation and maintenance strategy. Out of a sample of 50 the study focuses on 16 respondents including two expect advisers from original equipment manufacturers (OEM).
The results from the study show that the organisation lacks in communication as the objectives of the Market Demand Strategy and the maintenance strategy are not known to most people. The study also finds that there is no synergy between the two strategies and that there is management tend to focus on past data analysis and not on future improvements. The organisation needs to conduct skills and resources needed for each task, and then would have to create a framework for both.

▼ Zutphen is a city in the Netherlands, located along the IJssel River and the nautical access of the Twentekanaal. Despite its beneficial location, Zutphen barely uses the inland waterways for freight transport. This lead to the objective of this thesis: To provide insight how a viable inland waterway
terminal be realized in Zutphen’s business park De Mars to improve its freight connection. After analysing the regional and local infrastructure and transport flows, it was found that the best opportunities arise for the development of an intermodal inland waterway transport (IWT) connection, including an inland
container terminal in Zutphen. A reliable intermodal transport service can only be realized if the
terminal operator has access to a sufficient and constant flow of cargo volumes to be transported. Cargo can only be attracted if shippers are willing to make a modal change. A framework consisting of several analyses was presented to assess the feasibility of an inland
container terminal in Zutphen. Based on input from these analyses, three technical designs of proposed
terminal solutions were worked out. A
terminal solution is considered to be feasible if a business can be found for a private investor. For each of these alternatives, a financial assessment was worked out to determine whether a business case can be found. Based on the results of the financial assessment, a recommendation is given to the municipality.

▼ Heavy competition between
container terminals and the increasing volume of world-wide
container shipment force
container terminals to continuously increase productivity and reduce costs. An important condition for optimal operation of
container terminals is that Quay Cranes (QCs) maximize their productive time, which requires a minimal lateness of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) that bring and pick up containers at the QCs. In this research, the AGV driving strategy is investigated in order to reduce the time QCs are waiting for an AGV. A route plan scheduling module for AGVs is developed, in which the central system plans the driving positions of AGVs in advance, and determines in what order AGVs should cross intersections. For priority determination, a first-come first-served strategy is compared with an advanced priority strategy that gives priority to AGVs that are late or have an important job, like bringing a
container to a QC. Furthermore, the impact of AGVs' greediness for crossing intersections is investigated by comparing a greedy strategy with a non-greedy strategy. By testing the priority and greediness strategies in a state-of-the-art simulation environment that was extended with our route plan scheduling module, it is found that advanced priorities reduce QC waiting time and improve QC productivity compared to the first-come first-served priority strategy. The non-greedy strategy gives a small decrease of the AGV driving delay compared to the greedy strategy. To investigate the full potential of using advanced priorities in a system with route plan scheduling, the route plans should better predict the AGV driving behavior, for which we suggest to use a more detailed AGV planning strategy. Finally, we discuss that AGV driving with reduced inter-vehicle distance is a promising approach to improve
terminal performance.

▼ Over the last decades, containerisation became the major way to transport discrete goods replacing a part of general cargo trade and facing the increasing consumer demand of developed and developing world. As a result, container terminals became an important part of a lot of ports worldwide while new technology was developed to encounter the increasing requirements for the operation of container terminals. A container terminal has a quite complicated operation as different kind of equipment and people need to cooperate under a strict timeline that does not tolerate mistakes. The optimisation of a container terminal can be achieved by adjusting different parameters concerning different areas or equipment of the terminal. In this project, the arrangement of the yard layout is analysed focusing on a straddle carrier operation. The comparison criterion is the mean maximum travelling distance that a straddle carrier needs to travel for a seaside job cycle, serving the quay cranes. Considering a rectangular layout, making reasonable assumptions and using simple mathematical relations, the travelling distance of straddle carriers from stacking blocks to the quay is modelled and a proposition to minimise this distance is developed. Then, assuming the speed of straddle carriers for the different areas they move, the mean maximum travelling time for a job cycle is determined. The theory is applied for the container terminal of the port of Thessaloniki in Greece and a rearrangement for its layout is proposed. Using simple mathematics, for a simple yard layout, it is possible to propose changes that, for the port of Thessaloniki, can decrease the travelling time of straddle carriers up to 10%. This result is very sensitive to the assumptions of the driving strategy that straddle carriers follow and to the pooling strategy that is applied for the stacking yard operation.

▼ Uspešna podjetja predstavljajo sposobne skupine ljudi, katere odlikuje sposobnost reševanja problemov v težkih časih. Logistika je v takšnih okoljih univerzalno orodje za doseganje višjih ciljev, s čimer pridobiva na pomenu. Rešujemo tako prostorske, transportne, časovne, procesne, kot tudi finančne težave in jih nadomestimo z rešitvami.
Rešitve ocenjujemo na podlagi uspešnosti podjetja v globalnem sistemu in se kritično primerjamo s konkurenčnimi podjetji. Z magistrskim delom želimo doseči do sedaj najvišjo stopničko v slovenskem okolju. Obravnavamo uvedbo kontejnerskega terminala, katerega bi podjetje Gorenje, d. d. imelo kot prvi v Sloveniji izmed proizvodnih podjetij. V trenutno stanje bomo uvedli preproste spremembe, ki imajo velik pomen pri načinu dela. Spremembe bomo preverili, jih podkrepili z dejstvi in osvojenim znanjem ter na razumljiv način predstavili.
Successful companies represent groups of people, who have ability to solve problems in difficult times. Logistics in such environments is a universal tool for achieving higher goals, with which is gaining in importance. We solve spatial, transport, time, process and financial problems and replace them with solutions. Solutions are evaluated on the basis of the company's success in the global system and are critically compared with competitors. With this thesis we want to achieve the highest ever podium in the Slovenian environment. We consider the introduction of a container terminal, which the company Gorenje, d. d. will have the first in Slovenia of manufactoring companies. In the current situation we have intorduced simple changes, which are of great importance in the way we work. Changes will be verified, corroborated by the facts and the knowledge obtained and presented in an understandable way.

▼ Small scale inland shipping, especially in the case of transported containers, is used only marginally compared to its capacity. The small inland waterways have abundant capacity to accommodate up to 700 percent more transport. On the other hand, road based container transport is cause for external damages in the form of congestion, emissions and accidents. All that are of course unwanted. To reduce the overall external damage (monetized into cost) for container distribution a modeshift from truck to small scale inland vessel is worth promoting. This thesis researched the feasibility of designing radically renewing small scale container distribution concepts for both vessel and inland terminal. A scalable container carrier concept series is designed and tested for feasibility. Goal of the concept vessel was to design a dedicated series around its cargo, the container. Existing inland vessels of smaller dimensions have holds of suboptimal dimensions, resulting is excess cost. In parallel with the vessel series a scalable container terminal concept has been designed and tested. Goals for the terminal was autonomous operation and low cost per move as existing terminal fail to operate on competitive cost levels for low volumes. The results showed outperformance of competitor alternatives and economic feasibility for both concepts. Results of a case study show the possibility to ship and transship containers to more local, rural terminals at competitive costs levels. Meaning substantially below the costs of existing competition. In addition is the local terminal allocation leading to penetration of the inland waterway network’s capillaries. As a result, shorter pre- and post-haulage operations by truck are required. This increase in sailing distance share and decrease in haulage distance reduces the overall external cost of transport for those specific containers.

▼ The market of
container shipping industry is significant competitive. Many ultra large
container vessel(ULCV) would increase their loadable slot in order to achieve the maximum of its economic efficiency. The services that
terminal operators provide would benefit ultra large
container vessel(ULCV) in
container handling equipment and utilizing resource to increase
terminal productivity and control
terminal operation cost. Through
Terminal Operating System (TOS), the pre-plans for ship planning and yard planning are adopted in the area which is from vessel berthing to the port terminals. This study asserts that GPS is vital to facilitate the TOS system work efficiently. Because of receiving key information about
container, system will find the optimized path and location and then dispatch accurately
container to selected
container handling equipment with less cost. Clearly,
container terminal definitely would increase their productivity and achieve utility maximum. In addition,
terminal productivity of
container terminal by GPS would lead to the decrease of fuel consumption (saving cost) and CO2 emission (PM2.5).

▼ De nos jours, les plateformes portuaires cherchent à massifier leurs capacités de projection de conteneurs vers et à partir de leurs réseaux hinterland en misant sur les modes ferroviaires et fluviaux. Cela pour évacuer plus rapidement un volume quasi croissant de conteneurs livré par voie maritime et d’éviter les situations indésirables, tels que les situations d'asphyxie. De plus, les plateformes portuaires ont pris conscience que leur attractivité aux yeux des prestataires logistiques dépend non seulement de leur fiabilité et de leurs qualités nautiques mais également de leur capacité à offrir une desserte massifiée de leur hinterland. Contrairement à ce qui a pu être observé en Europe, la part du transport massifié a quasiment stagné au Havre dans les dernières années. A cet effet, le port du Havre a mis en place un
terminal multimodal de conteneurs lié par rail et par voie navigable à un hinterland riche et dense en population (Bassin parisien, Marchés européens), et par des navettes ferroviaires aux autres terminaux maritimes du port Havre. L’intérêt économique et stratégique de ce nouveau
terminal est de renforcer la position du Grand Port Maritime du Havre au niveau national, européen et mondial, et d’un point de vue écologique, diminuer l’utilisation excessive du routier en misant sur les modes moins polluants. Dans cette thèse, les efforts se focalisent sur la modélisation et la simulation du déroulement des opérations de manutention et d’allocation de ressources dans un
terminal à conteneurs et particulièrement l’ordonnancement des portiques de manutention. Étant donné qu’un
terminal à conteneurs est un système complexe, nous avons d’abord défini une démarche de modélisation qui facilite le processus de construction du modèle de simulation. Cette démarche est un processus itératif permettant de raffiner le modèle au fur et à mesure des étapes de développement réalisées. Les différentes étapes de développement sont liées par une série de diagrammes qui permet d’exprimer de façon claire les éléments et les relations formant le modèle de simulation. Ensuite, nous avons intégré dans notre modèle deux stratégies de non-croisement de portiques au niveau de la cour ferroviaire du
terminal multimodal. Le but de ces stratégies est la minimisation des temps et des mouvements improductifs pour améliorer la performance et la productivité des portiques de manutention. La première stratégie est basée sur des règles de mouvement et sur la collaboration et coopération entre agents portiques. Tandis que la deuxième stratégie est basée sur une heuristique. Ces deux solutions ont été testées en utilisant l’outil de simulation AnyLogic et les résultats obtenus montrent la qualité de nos solutions. Concernant le problème d’ordonnancement des portiques de la cour fluviale, nous l’avons étudié en utilisant un couplage Optimisation-Simulation. Dans ce problème les temps de chargement et de déchargement de conteneurs et les temps de déplacement des portiques entre les baies sont considérés comme incertains. Le couplage est composé…

Vehicle Dispatching Problem at the Container Terminal with Tandem Lift Quay Cranes.

▼ The most important issue at a
container terminal is to minimize the ship’s turnaround time which is determined by the productivities of quay cranes (QCs). The tandem lift quay cranes have 33% higher productivities than single lift QCs. However, the tandem lift operations bring new challenges to the vehicle dispatching at terminals and this has become a big issue in the application of tandem lift QCs. The vehicle dispatching at terminals is to enhance the QCs’ productivities by coordinating the QCs’ operation schedules and the vehicles’ delivery schedules.
The static version of the problem can be formulated as an MILP model and it is a combinational optimization problem. When the type of QC is tandem lift, the problem becomes more complicated because it requires two vehicles side by side under the QC. Thus, the alignments of vehicles have to be considered by coordinating the delivery schedules between vehicles. On the other hand, because the containers are operated alone by the yard cranes, the vehicles could not be grouped and dispatched in pairs all the time.
This dissertation investigates the static and dynamic version of the problem and proposes heuristic methods to solve them. For the static version, Local Sequence Cut (LSC) Algorithm is proposed to tighten the search space by eliminating those feasible but undesirable delivery sequences. The time windows within which the containers should be delivered are estimated through solving sub-problems iteratively. Numerical experiments show the capability of the LSC algorithm to find competitive solutions in substantially reduced CPU time.
To deal with the dynamic and stochastic working environment at the
terminal, the dissertation proposes an on-line dispatching rule to make real-time dispatching decisions without any information of future events. Compared with the longest idle vehicle rule, the proposed priority rule shortens the makespan by 18% and increases the QCs’ average productivities by 15%. The sensitivity analysis stated that the superiority of the priority rule is more evident when the availability of vehicles is not sufficient compared with the frequency of releasing transportation requests.

▼ The current research is conducted in the context of APM Terminals, one of the largest container terminal operators worldwide. As a terminal operator, APM Terminals has detected the opportunity to increase operational capacity by developing container terminal infrastructure. Therefore, APM Terminals has expanded its activities from operations to design and construction. In this process, multiple projects have faced obstacles during the development phase related to the multidisciplinary coordination of stakeholders. This situation has been suspected to generate a negative impact on project performance. In order to optimize the current state of container terminal development it was decided to investigate the potential of adopting Virtual Design and Construction as an optimization strategy for container terminal development. At the moment of conducting this research, there is no existing documentation on the use of Virtual Design and Construction for the development of container terminals and even though there are numerous research papers which provide proof of positive benefits derived from using Virtual Design and Construction (such as reduced change orders during construction ranging from 0.5% to 85%) to this day the adoption rate of Virtual Design and Construction is still only slowly raising across the AEC industry. For this reason, this thesis proposes a new approach to the adoption of Virtual Design and Construction by focusing in stakeholders and their behaviour. As a result of this approach, this thesis developed a change management strategy for the adoption of Virtual Design and Construction focused on creating a positive attitude on stakeholders. The theoretical framework was validated by conducting a Focus Group session which involved eleven multidisciplinary experts on designing and constructing container terminals and two users of Virtual Design and Construction from a construction company and a consulting firm, respectively. A prototype of the building information model was demonstrated to the experts to allow them to develop a personal opinion of the potential benefits that they envision through the adoption of Virtual Design and Construction. With the results collected from the Focus Group, the relevance of stakeholders and their behaviour towards the adoption of Virtual Design and Construction was validated. Finally, this thesis provides an Action Plan to adopt Virtual Design and Construction in the multidisciplinary organization of container terminal development.

▼ The Maasvlakte port area in Rotterdam is located in the Netherlands. There are 14
container terminals and empty
container depots located within this area, some are existing and some will be built in the near future. At
container terminals containers are being transhipped between different modalities. At empty
container depots, empty containers are being stored for a certain time. The
container terminals are sharing the same customs facility and empty
container depots. Transport between the
container terminals and these facilities has to be organised. It is also possible that containers arrive at one
container terminal, but have to depart from another
container terminal. This transport between different terminals and depots is called Inter
Terminal Transport (ITT). This ITT has to be organized in the future. The main question of this research is: Which transport system is most appropriate for Inter
Terminal Transport between the terminals and depots at Maasvlakte 1 and 2 in 2030 and why? Previous studies were performed to determine the most appropriate transport system for ITT. This study includes a new simulation model to compare the ITT systems, in which the most up-to-date information can be used for the generation of new ITT
container demand scenarios. The minimum percentage of on-time containers is set as a constraint, which was not done in previous researches. In this way a fair comparison can be made of the ITT systems and they can be evaluated using multiple criteria. In this research the AGV, ALV, and MTS will be compared. The AGV and ALV are automated vehicles, have a capacity of 2 TEU, and are expected to drive with a speed of 40 km/h in 2030. The ALV is able to load and unload containers by itself. The MTS is a manned vehicle, has a capacity of 10 TEU, and is expected to drive with a speed of 30 km/h in 2030. These ITT systems will be compared for three different economic growth scenarios (defined by the Port of Rotterdam): low growth, high oil prices, and European trend. An existing
container generator (which is made in an earlier project) is used to create a table with containers. Each containers has the following properties: start time, origin (
terminal/depot), delivery time, destination (
terminal/depot), and size in TEU. The amount of generated containers for ITT differs per economic growth scenario: - Low growth scenario: 0.70 million containers/1.17 million TEU per year - High oil prices scenario: 0.78 million containers/1.29 million TEU per year - European trend scenario: 0.99 million containers/1.66 million TEU per year The list of containers from the generator is used as input for a simulation model. For this research a dynamic, discrete-event stochastic model has to be built. Multiple simulation software packages exist that are able to build such kind of model, but a choice has to be made. Based on the availability of the programs at the university, the costs, and the user friendliness, Simio is chosen. Containers arrive at the terminals using their start time and origin property. Containers are…

▼ A large increase in containerized maritime transport, bigger ships and bigger call sizes cause the need for
container transhipment terminals to increase the volume they can handle without increasing their handling costs and handling time at the
terminal. This research aims at deepening the understanding of how this goal can be achieved through integration of an inland port and improving information exchange in the
container transport chain. Improving the accuracy of the estimated time of arrival (ETA) and real time sharing of the berth window are selected as the most promising alternatives to improve the
container terminal. A more accurate ETA will improve the productivity of the gangs by reducing the overmanning and undermanning the
terminal and by improving the allocation of the ship to shore (STS) cranes. Real time sharing of the berthing window reduces the waiting time of ships at the
terminal as ships get notified that they can decrease speed when resources at the
terminal will not be available upon arrival. Ships will save bunker costs when reducing their speed. When resources in the
terminal are available earlier than the arrival of the ship, ships will get notified to increase speed, improving the utilization of the terminals equipment and workforce, resulting in less handling costs at the
terminal. Using a simulation model in the context of a transshipment
terminal in the port of Algeciras, the integration of an inland port is designed. Both the effects of this inland port as improved information exchange are estimated. The turnaround time and gang productivity of
container terminals with congested yard can be improved through handling and storing containers at the inland port. This reduces the yard occupancy, improving the productivity of the yard equipment and the STS cranes. A transshipment
terminal can be improved by storing long-stay transshipment
container at the inland port in addition to handling import and export containers there. Customs facilities should only be implemented at the inland port when transhipment containers are stored there. No dedicated stacks in the yard of the deep-sea
terminal for transport towards the inland port should be reserved as it will increase ship turnaround time at the
terminal. Improving the accuracy and real-time sharing of the berth window improves the gang productivity in the
terminal. A more accurate ETA decreases the effectivity of sharing of the berth window. Both alternatives do not improve the ship turnaround statistically speaking. Around 2.5% additional volume can be handled in the deep-sea
terminal through real time sharing of the berth window. A similar results be achieved by integration of inland port where 2.5% of the transhipment containers and import and export containers are stored. Combining the integration of an inland port with sharing of the berth window increases this number further. These results are case specific and dependent
terminal specific properties like dwell times, productivity of the yard equipment and the…

▼ Containers have become the standard for unitised cargo transport. In the past two decades, the emergence of the global economy has caused a boom in the volume of containers transported by sea. Maritime container transport can be divided into a global network of major shipping routes and numerous regional, short-sea services. In ports, container terminals link the different shipping lines and provide the intermodal connection between the maritime and continental transportation networks. On the major shipping routes, very large container ships operate the intercontinental services. Container terminals in gateway and hub ports, along these routes, annually handle throughputs of over 500,000 TEU. The majority of these terminals is owned and operated by so called global terminal operators (GTO) that own and operate many terminals worldwide. Regional and short-sea services between regional and minor ports in the periphery of the network are operated by smaller vessels. For the majority of terminals in these ports, annual throughput is much less. Local, single terminal operators (STO) generally operate these container terminals. Public sector involvement is often large. Shipping lines are pressuring both larger and smaller terminals, to increase the level of services offered and, at the same time, reduce handling costs. Labour expenses take up a large part of those handling costs. For large terminals automated container handling has proven itself as a reliable and effective way to reduce operational costs. Especially in Europe, small and medium sized terminals face heavy competition. The number of ports that compete for the same hinterland is increasing. To stay ahead of the competition, terminals are forced to offer a very high level of services. Meanwhile, flexible routes of regional services makes business development forecasts uncertain. Investment risks are therefore high in this capital intensive industry. As a result conservativeness is considered a virtue among small and medium sized terminal operators, and scepticism towards innovative technology is widespread. The goal of this study is to inventory "off-the-shelf" automated container handling equipment and study the feasibility of automated container handling in small and medium sized terminals.

▼ In dit afstudeerrapport komen zaken aan bod die gaan over het gebruik van containerterminals. Als eerste wordt een studie verricht naar de te verwachten ontwikkelingen in de containervaart. Het blijkt dat de afmetingen van containerschepen momenteel fors groeien. Dit komt door de opleving van de economie, de voortschreidende automatisering aan boord van schepen, en de behoefte van de reders om steeds goedkoper containers te kunnen vervoeren. Het grootste schip, dat momenteel vaart, heeft een ladingscapaciteit van 6000 Twenty foot Equivalent Unit ( TEU) . Op zeer korte termijn zijn schepen te verwachten met een capaciteit van 7000 TEU. Door de komst van deze 6000+ TEU-schepen en de snel groeiende containermarkt moeten de containerterminals de containers sneller verwerken. Problemen worden verwacht bij de containerkranen aan de kade met betrekking tot de toename van het aantal overgeslagen containers per schip per tijdseenheid. Om een goed overzicht te krijgen van de werking van een containerterminal, wordt dit eerst bestudeerd. In de literatuur blijkt het overslagprobleem onderkend te zijn, gezien de vele beschrijvingen en studies die de laatste tijd verschijnen. Getracht i s om de meest belangrijke ontwikkelingen te verzamelen, waarbij de voor- en nadelen zijn aangegeven. Uit de literatuurstudie kunnen dan de ontwerpcriteria worden afgeleid. Een belangrijke vraag in het gehele overslagproces is: "Wat mag het kosten". Hoe ver mag en kan men gaan om zo snel mogelijk een container te lossen. Getracht is hier enig inzicht in te geven m.b.v. een economisch "model". Hoewel het model niet geschikt is voor een kostenbepaling, geeft het wel de economische krachten weer, die bij het containertransport over lange afstanden werken. Het blijkt dat de kosten, die gemaakt moeten worden voor alleen het overslaan, ten opzichte van de totale transportkosten gering zijn.

▼ With an increase in amount of container terminals competition between terminals has risen. Therefore it has become more and more important for terminal operators to conduct their work as efficient as possible. Efficient terminal operations are hindered by stochasticity, which is defined as random variation in parameter values. Due to missing information on exact arrival times, requested containers are often stored underneath other containers, which will then need to be reshuffled to reach the requested container. This reshuffling is performed while a hinterland transport mode is waiting for the requested container and therefore increases service times and SC utilisation during peak hours. This research investigates the relation between stochasticity and terminal stacking performance of import containers with a simulation model. Terminal stacking performance is subdivided into the Key Performance Indicators reshuffles per retrieval, truck service time and maximum straddle carrier utilisation per hour. The results show that implementing housekeeping moves can spare the entire import yard up to 639 764 reshuffles per year, 8 854 hours in truck serving per year and 8 minute per peak hour per SC. Even in the experiments where the level of stochasticity is high, a saving of 120 656 reshuffles per year, 883 hours truck service time and 3 minutes per SC peak hour are observed. The higher the level of stochasticity, the smaller the improvement on the KPIs is. Lastly, it can be concluded that stacking performance also deteriorates when the level of stochasticity becomes higher.

▼ The Tanjung Perak harbour ofthe city of Surabaya on the island Java, Indonesia has experienced a considerable growth of
container traffic. In order to adequately deal with the expected continuing increase ofcontainer traffic in the future, the International
container terminal is presently being expanded. In future there will be three independently operating terminals: two terminals for international
container traffic (ICT) and one
terminal for inter island traffic (IIT). The Inter Island
Terminal will handle coasters operating between the larger and smaller (more inland located) ports. The quays of these three terminals will be connected to the
container yards by one bridge. Evidently the expansion ofthe
container terminal will create a new situation on the whole
terminal, in particular on the bridge connecting the quays to the
container yards. The objective ofthis thesis research is to investigate the capacity ofthe future
container terminal and to analyse possible future bottlenecks (with emphasis on the bridge situation). For this purpose computer simulation models have been created of the three terminals and the bridge. The first phase ofthe research concerned the creation of a simulation model ofthe
terminal as it is operating at present. This model was verified and validated using the 1997 data records of the
terminal. Since the operations ofthis
terminal will not change drastically once the expansion ofthe
terminal is completed, this simulation model of the present
terminal has also been used as the basis for the simulation ofthe future terminals. In the second phase three simulation models have been developed: one for the new international
container terminal, one for the inter island
terminal and a model of the bridge. Using above simulation models the future
terminal operations have been analysed and in the process also an indication ofthe capacity ofthe
terminal is obtained. The models enabled a better insight of the possible
container throughput of the
terminal in relation to the efficiency level ofterminal operations and upgrading of equipment. The traffic load on the bridge has been investigated by analysing the varying traffic flows generated by the
terminal models. Concluding it appears that there are two factors that may limit the anticipated
container throughput increases per
terminal: the capacity ofthe portainers and the stacking area ofthe
container yards. In case the
container throughput per
terminal increases as expected and the efficiency levels can not be improved (thus limiting the production of quay cranes), the possibility ofa serious congestion ofthe
terminal may be the result. This would result in increased anchorage waiting times for the vessels and in a further increase ofthe quay occupancy (more than the present 70%). Also the capacity ofthe stacking areas may prove to be insufficient to cope with this increased
container throughput. These effects also imply that the
terminal will not have an adequate safety margin to handle unforeseen delays, for instance equipment breakdown. If on…

▼ The Port of Colombo, Sri Lanka, is an important hub port in the Indian Ocean. A hub port is a port with mainly transhipment (and in this case container) throughput, which means that most of the cargo is not for the country itself, but for countries in the region. The yearly container throughput at the Port of Colombo reached its full capacity of 1.7 million TEU per year in 1997. Increasing waiting times for ships calling at the port are a result of this. Because of the costs of a waiting ship, shipping lines will choose other ports in the region such as Singapore, Salalah (Oman) or Dubai (United Arab Emirates) for their ships to go to. The aim of this study is to develop a plan for a New Container Terminal, which will give the Port of Colombo enough container throughput capacity for the next 25 years: till the year 2025.

▼ Container terminals are important nodes in the worldwide supply chain. The planning of the daily operations of a
container terminal is a complex task and sub optimal decisions can be made due to interconnected sub processes, interrelated decisions, time and uncertainty. If suboptimal planning decisions are made in the planning, consequences will occur during the operation, which cause a decrease in performance. The perfor-mance of a
terminal is measured in average Quay Crane (QC) performance. The QC performance determines the turnaround time of vessels. A delay in the turnaround time can cause huge financial loses and a decrease in the reliability of the service a
terminal offers. To overcome sub optimal planning decisions, a simulated execution of a planning can be used. If suboptimal planning decisions are made, the consequences will occur during the simulated execution. By analysing the results of the simulation these consequences can be recognised, and thereby the suboptimal decisions can be identified. These decisions should be revised to prevent recurrence of the consequences in the real operation. This can only be done after the planning is finished and before the operation commences, 2-3 hours before the operation. If used not more than 2 Hours are left in the planning process to simulate the planning, analyse the results and revise planning decisions. A simulation takes 15 minutes, including overhead time and performing 3 iterations leaves only around 10 minutes to analyse and 10 minutes to revise decisions. The problem is the lack of a method to use the results of the simulation in such a short time frame. The aim of this thesis is to develop a method that makes it for a planner possible to identify the consequences, define a suitable revision and implement it in the short amount of available time before the operation commences. The research question is stated as follows: How can simulation be used to improve the operational planning of a
container terminal before the real execution? The method chosen to solve this problem is a decision tree, which can reveal patterns, identify an assignable cause and define a suitable solution. The developed decision trees are able to reveal the consequences in the results of a simulated execution by checking statistics of the simulated execution with thresholds. A sequence of checks can lead to 3 types of decisions: i. A revision of a planning decision is proposed if the QC performance is lower than desired, the cause could be identified and a solution is available. ii. The tree proposes to lower the planned performance, if the planned performance could not be reached, but no cause was identified or no solution is available. iii. Do nothing is proposed if the desired QC performance is reached, in this case there is no need to make adjustments. To develop this decision tree seven steps are performed; 1. Analysis of the operation and planning, 2. Define the solution space, 3. Perform a root cause analysis, 4. Connect the causes with solutions, 5. Develop the decision trees,…

▼ Truck queuing at marine
container terminal gates is one of the main sources of delay at terminals and is an area of concern since delays increase the logistical cost of transporting a
container. Idling trucks at the gates are also a source of emissions that are harmful to surrounding environments. With the growing focus on global warming and reducing greenhouse gases, increasing importance has been placed on finding alternative strategies for reducing delays at the gates. Previous studies focused on the performance of strategies such as the appointment system and extended gate hours. However, there has yet to be a study that evaluates the performance of pooling trucks into a single queue at the gates. Previous studies on pooling offer mixed opinions on whether or not it is beneficial, but none of these studies have attempted to model the movements of the entities in the queue. In a human system (no vehicles) the movements are not as important since the time to move up one space in the queue is negligible; however, due to the size and weight of the trucks at the gates, the time to move is significant and should be considered. This study used agent based simulation to model the
terminal gate system with two different queuing strategies, a pooled queue and non-pooled queues, since analytical solutions are not capable of capturing vehicle movements within the queue. Using a car following model, a realistic representation of how vehicles move within the queue is captured. The developed simulation model was used to evaluate queuing strategies under varying conditions. Results indicate that using a pooled queue yields significantly lower average queuing times and variability in queuing times.

▼ Since the start of the containerization revolution in 1950's, not only the TEU capacity of the vessels has been increasing constantly, but also the number of fully cellular
container ships has expanded substantially. Because of the tense competition among ports in recent years, improving the operational efficiency of ports has become an important issue in containership operations. Arrangement of containers both within the
container terminal and on the containership play an important role in determining the berthing time. The berthing time of a containership is mainly composed of the unloading and loading time of containers. Containers in a containership are stored in stacks, making a
container directly accessible only if it is on the top of one stack. The task of determining a good
container arrangement to minimize the number of re-handlings while maintaining the ship's stability over several ports is called stowage planning, which is an everyday problem solved by ship planners.
The horizontal distribution of the containers over the bays affects crane utilization and overall ship berthing time. In order to increase the
terminal productivity and reduce the turnaround time, the stowage planning must conform to the berth design. Given the configuration of berths and cranes at each visiting port, the stowage planning must take into account the utilization of quay cranes as well as the reduction of unnecessary shifts to minimize the total time at all ports over the voyage. This dissertation introduces an optimization model to solve the stowage planning problem with crane utilization considerations. The optimization model covers a wide range of operational and structural constraints for containership load planning.
In order to solve real-size problems, a meta-heuristic approach based on genetic algorithms is designed and implemented which embeds a crane split approximation routine. The genetic encoding is ultra-compact and represents grouping, sorting and assignment strategies that might be applied to form the stowage pattern. The evaluation procedure accounts for technical specification of the cranes as well as the crane split. Numerical results show that timely solution for ultra large size containerships can be obtained under different scenarios.
