APM Terminals, Spain. Major capacity increase of existing rubber-tired gantry operation. With its existing operational strategies, this rubber-tired gantry (RTG) terminal was operating at its capacity limit. The terminal experienced a significant decrease in quay-crane productivity as the yard storage utilization increased. Nevertheless, the terminal management expected an increase in demand of 40% over the next 3 to 4 years, and was therefore interested in increasing terminal capacity. Seaport Innovations’ assignment, in collaboration with specialists from various organizations, was to draft a development plan as well as to design the required advanced operations strategies (strategies for container grounding, and pooling of handling and transportation equipment, etc.). Before implementation, detailed simulations validated the design and strategies
