A PEMA Information Paper
The paper describes key equipment and technology components of an automated container terminal operation, outlining the various approaches already adopted and those presently under consideration
Advancing technologies and the demand for efficient and sustainable supply chain solutions are leading port terminals to increasingly rely on automated solutions that optimise operations, improve productivity and increase competitiveness.
The goal is to transfer a part of the footprint to another less constrained location. There are two major port container terminal configurations: conventional and automated. Terminal automation is an ongoing process that has resulted in changes to terminal configuration and operations.
In recent years and decades, port terminals have seen a shift towards automation in container terminal operations.
The port terminal industry faces numerous challenges, some of which have been apparent for some time and some only recently. They range from overload and capacity bottlenecks to periods of sudden reduced capacity utilisation to environmental concerns and labour disputes.
