Container handling can be define as an object used for or capable of holding, esp. for transport or storage, such as a carton, box, etc. a large cargo-carrying standard-sized container that can be loaded from one mode of transport to another, a container port, a container ship.

5. The invention of the container is attributed to
Malcolm McLean, who started the movement
of trailers on ships (with the Sea/Land line)
and rail from New York to the Gulf Coast in
1956 (Chadwin et al. (1990)).
Later on, the trailer changed to containers.
The container has increased port productivity
enormously and changed the appearance of
harbors from large areas with break bulk
cargo to long stretches of bulk headed
waterfront with many large cranes serving big
container ships.
6. Container handling can be define as an object
used for or capable of holding, esp. for
transport or storage, such as a carton, box,
etc. a large cargo-carrying standard-sized
container that can be loaded from one mode
of transport to another, a container port, a
container ship.

27. A container terminal is based on a maritime
interface.
It has quays with cranes to load and unload
ships, a stack to store containers and an
interface with inland transportation either by
truck, rail or barge.
A container terminal can have several
interfaces with inland transportation.
28. First, there are transfer points for trucks, which
are then loaded from the stack using straddle
carriers, reach stackers or other cranes.
Next, there can be a rail terminal or service
center, where containers are loaded onto or from
trains.
Finally, there can be a barge service center where
barges are loaded using specific equipment.

30. Decisions on container handling equipment
and its scheduling can be categorized
according to the time horizon involved.
Strategic Tactical Operational
31. There, one makes decisions on the choice of
the handling equipment, on the way (or
concept) in which operations are carried out
as well as on the layout of the terminal.
One decides on capacity levels of equipment
and manning, on layout structures and on
timetables of ships and trains (in terms of
frequency and day of week).
32. Finally, at the operational level, one decides
on the allocation of capacity to the work to be
done.
One may even add a real-time level, where
quite detailed control decisions have to be
made regarding automated equipment, like
which route to take for an AGV, which speed
to use and when to make turns.
38. The trend of increasing ship size is likely to
continue, despite a significant overcapacity in
the market, which is as old as the container
itself.
Together with larger ships, there is also
increasing cooperation between the various
shipping lines.
The next step will be the merger of shipping
lines.
Introduction of larger vessels.
There will be a trend to so-called hub-and-
spoke networks.
Automation of the handling equipment.
