The storage yard is the operational and geographical centre of most
seaport container terminals. Therefore, it is of particular
importance for the whole terminal system and plays a major role for
trade and transport flows. One of the latest trends in
container-storage operations is the automated
Rail-Mounted-Gantry-Crane system, which offers dense stacking, and
offers low labour costs. This book investigates whether the
operational performance of container terminals is influenced by the
design of these storage systems and to what extent the performance
is affected by the terminal's framework conditions, and discusses
the strategies applied for container stacking and crane scheduling.
A detailed simulation model is presented to compare the performance
effects of alternative storage designs, innovative planning
strategies, and other influencing factors. The results have useful
implications future research, practical terminal planning and
optimisation.
