- Future max draft - Underkeel clearance - Allow for over dredge

Accommodate ship with underkeel clearance at low water

Most hub terminals designing for – 18m or – 19m

How to match crane productivity ? Tractor / Trailer (Single or Trailer Train) AGV (ECT Rotterdam & CTA Hamburg ) Mini straddle or shuttle carrier (SC) How to handle multiple lifts ?

- Import- Export


AGV


Shuttle Carrier


Yard Layout and Equipment Straddle Carrier

- Suits smaller or odd shaped Terminal Yard RTG

- Most used- Flexible – move between stacks- Generally 1 over 6 and 6 or 7+ 1 wide- 9 + 1 wide in Oslo - Full automation unsafe

RMG- Recent adoptions- Generally 1 over 6 and 9 wide- Full automation possible - Cantilever possible for side lift- Cost > RTG

Land

Ports require large areas of land to support their operations- Container terminals - Port related industries- Free Zones, Cargo Villages, IPCs, Distribution Centres & Value-added Industries

Many ports trying to emulate Jebel Ali’s successThe options are

- Create new land by reclamation- Relocate the port to a greenfield site

Karachi has opted for the former with its Cargo Village
