Major Capacity Increase of Existing RTG Operation
Major Capacity Increase
of Existing RTG Operation
|
This RTG (rubber-tired gantry) terminal is with its existing operational
strategies, operating at its volume capacity limit. The terminal experience 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 the volume capacity. Mr. Busk’s assignment has been in collaboration with specialists from various organisations 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 will validate the design and strategies. |
