3. What has changed in the “Container
Industry” in the past 50 years ?
16. 2011 : Port of Felixstowe
Outreach : 70m (24 Wide) – Boom Clearance : 46.5 / 49.5m
Rail Gauge : 35m – Hoisting Cap. : 88 T – Weight : 2000 T
SINGLE LIFT

TWIN LIFT ( 2 x 20)
+
TANDEM LIFT ( 2 x 40)

“TWO BY TWO”
TANDEM LIFT ( 4 x 20)
17. And how did all this impact on
Customer Service Levels ?
3 Quotes
18. Quote TOC / 1997 – Barcelona :
“The Challenge for the Container Terminals is to continuously
improve Efficiency and Service Levels and to reduce Costs without
concessions to Flexibility and Customer Friendliness”
Quote CEO Maersk – 26 February 2015 :
“Port productivity as ships get larger is stalled , resulting in ships
remaining in port for longer periods of time , delays to cargo and
higher cost for carriers”
Quote JOC / 18 June 2015 :
“ I have never seen a greater sense of urgency to find ways to get
ships in and out of port faster. It is a simple calculus : The quicker
a ship leaves port , the slower the speed and less fuel is needed to
get to the next port on schedule”
19. Container Hub 1984
Average 15 - 25 Cont. moves / GCH
40 - 60 Cont. moves / GSWH
Container Hub 2010
Average 25 - 30 Cont. moves / GCH
80 - 120 Cont. moves /GSWH
Emphasis on Number of Cranes per
Vessel
Emphasis on Vessel Working
Productivity
20. Quote World Cargo News- 09 June 2011:
“Maersk will be looking for ports handling its forthcoming 18000 TEU
Triple – E ships to achieve 6000 moves in under 24 hours”
Container Hub 2015 +
250 Cont. moves / Gross Berth hr
Average 40 – 50 Cont. moves/ GCH
Emphasis on Berth Productivity
