Introduction to Maritime ShippingIntroduction to Maritime Shipping Ships carry 99% of overseas trade in volume terms
and 62% in value terms, the remainder beingconveyed by air.
90% of all international trade moves by sea
Globally, the ton-miles of f reight moved by waterare more than twice the total ton-miles moved byroad, railway, and air put together.

Water transportationis less costly andmore energy efficientthan other modes oftransport:

From the port o f Long Beach, containers are either transported by train or by truck to their finaldestination, or to one of several intermediate destinations such as a railyard, warehouse, distribution center,or transload facility ( a sorting, routing and short-term storage building). A containers final destinationdetermine exactly what path it will take once it leaves the dock.

non-local destinations. Containers are delivered here by truck, then sorted andgrouped by final destination. These railyards handle Port cargo as well as domesticcargo from other sources.
6- Transload or storage yard: Shippi ng containers are oftenmoved initially to a transload facility where workers unload thecargo fromthe marine container, sort it and repackage it intolarger-sized truck trailers. The larger trailers are used to transportthe cargo from the transload facility to regional distributioncenters, local stores or off-dock railyards.

Because the United States imports mor e goods than it exports, many empty containers are sent overseas to be refilled with goods. Typically,about a third of the containers loaded onto a ship at the Port of Long Beach will be filled with cargo, while about two-thirds will be empty.

1- Delivery to local exporter : A local
exporter who needs to fill emptycontainers may arrange to receivethem by truck directly from a marineterminal, from an empty containerstorage yard or from a local importer.Direct delivery between importers andexporters is encour aged because iteliminates an additional truck trip to astorage yard or marine terminal.

From thestorage yard, the empty containerscan be transported to a marineterminal for export, or to a localexporter to be filled with cargo.Empty containers are alsotransported from marine terminalsto storage yards, usually when theterminal needs more space for full,incoming containers.

Container Terminal Characterist icsContainer Terminal Characterist icsMost terminals never close workload processed continuously: 24 hours per day, 365 days per year uneven distribution of workload over time (late vessel arrivals, cust. requests)
Highly uncertain equipment processing times truck travel times affected by road traffic conditions inside terminal crane handling times are variable
10,000+ decisions made per day equipment dispatching, container storage location assignment, etc. decision opportunities come with no prior warning decisions made immediately, usually one at a time inter-decision time highly stochastic, avg. as low as 1 sec.
Quay, yard, and gate operations h ighly interconnected bottlenecks in yard late vessel departures few or no inter-equipment buffers

Average vessel turnaround t ime Avg. time it takes to fully process a vessel From time of berthing to time of un-berthing
Average external t ruck (XT) turnaround t ime Avg. time it takes for external truck to be serviced at the terminal Drop-off or pick-up From time of gate entry to time of gate departure
Abil ity to keep vessels and trains on schedule Consistency in performance more important than maximizing avg. performance Another goal: keep operations on-time at minimum cost
Cost per TEU moved between ship and shore USD $150 at U.S. ports

Container Terminal Planning and Design
1. Where should the terminal be located?
2. What kind of cargo will be handled (import, export, transshipment)?
3. What is the planned throughput capacity?
4. How much cargo storage capacity is needed in the yard?
5. Will there be an on-dock rail yard? A large empty container yard?
6. How much land area will the terminal occupy? What is its shape?
7. What type of container handling equipment will be used? Specs?
8. How many work shifts wil l there be per day?
9. Should the yard layout be parallel or perpendicular?
10. How many storage blocks should there be? What are their dimensions?
11. How many vehicle lanes should there be between the blocks?12. How much equipment should be deployed on an average day?
