4. What is Wrong with Current
Systems + Methods?
Too Fragile
Too Complex
Too Expensive
Rely on Expert Systems
New Facility Designs Repeat the
Errors of the Past
4

5. Why?
Terminal Operations were Sub-
Optimal in the First Instance
Accretion of Methods and Subsystems
Lack of Integration
Piecemeal Solutions
Keeping those Practices in Place only
Embeds them Even Further

6. How to Go Forward
Look Outside the Industry
Stop Trying to Get a Different Result
by Continuing to Do the Same Thing
Example - What was the Response to
Larger Ships?
Add Ship-to-Shore Cranes

7. Large Robust RMGs
CMAA Class F - AISE Sever Duty
Replace Multiple Units
Lower Operational Cost per Unit
Higher Reliability > 99.99999
Higher Availability > 99.99999

8. Lessons Learned in Heavy
Industry
Piecemeal Solutions Do Not Work
Integrated End-to-End Systems are
Required
Automation is Not Justified Through
Reductions in Head Count
Appropriate Automation Solutions
Contribute to the Bottom Line While
Maintaining Stable Labor Environment

Contributes to the Amelioration of the
Other Problems
