2. OBJECTIVES :
 Define and explain the best management of
the port equipment.
 Explain the aspects of the best management
and methods.

3. GOALS OF THE MANAGEMENT
Every management have goals to make:
 Minimize the cost spent on equipment.
 Increase the level of service, speed and
efficiency.
 Decrease the mistakes and the accidents.
 Increase the life-span of the equipment.
 Use the resource in the best way possible.
 Ensure the safety of the operation.

4. DIFFERENT TYPES OF EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP
Before we talk about the first goal lets explain
the aspect of this goal, there are 3 different
ownership types:
 Ports ownership.
 Ports partly ownership (leasing).
 Non-port ownership(hiring).

5. DIFFERENT TYPES OF EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP
 Ports ownership:
Not very common these days, because its an
obstacle of the port development.
 Ports partly ownership (leasing):
its more common, because the port can replace
equipment with new ones same price.
 Non-ports ownership(hiring):
This is the most common nowadays because port
could use the labor and the skill and technology
that this company may have with a reasonable
price.

6. MINIMIZE THE COST SPENT ON EQUIPMENT.
After we discussed the different types of
equipment ownership now we can say that
most important things to consider in case we
want to minimize the cost is the following:
 Getting the best and right type of ownership
of the equipment.
 Negotiate for the best price, and the best
quality.

7. INCREASE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE, SPEED AND EFFICIENCY
To increase the service and the speed and
efficiency in port, management of the
equipment should be at the best possible
way, and for sure that will be a good reputation
for the port.
Equipment should be used at the proper way to
make the port life easier.

8. DECREASE THE MISTAKES AND THE ACCIDENTS.
 Not to mention on the most flaws of the
management is the mistakes and what that’s
lead to in losses and customer unsatisfied.
 We can decrease that mistakes from
happening by hiring the most worthy
company of your trust, that has good labor
and excellent equipment.

9. INCREASE THE LIFE-SPAN OF THE EQUIPMENT.
Since these equipment is very expensive so it
would make sense that the most important
thing is to keep it in great condition for as long
as it can be. No company would want to buy
new equipment every few years.
And there's a lot of factors considering this
goal like the Maintenance and the inspection.

10. THE MAINTENANCE
There are a few types of Maintenance but I will
only mention five of them.
 Preventive maintenance:
It can be described as
tests, measurements, adjustments, and parts
replacement, performed specifically to prevent
faults from occurring.

11. THE MAINTENANCE
 Predictive maintenance :
It is a techniques help determine the condition
of in-service equipment in order to predict
when maintenance should be performed.
 Corrective maintenance :
a maintenance task performed to
identify, isolate, and rectify a fault so that the
failed equipment, can be restored to an
operational condition.

12. THE MAINTENANCE
 Proactive maintenance :
is a maintenance strategy for stabilizing the
reliability of machines or equipment.
 Operational maintenance :
is the care and minor maintenance of equipment
using procedures that do not require detailed
technical knowledge of equipment’s or system’s
function and design. This category of operational
maintenance normally consists of
inspecting, cleaning, servicing, preserving, lubricat
ing, and adjusting, as required.

13. THE INSPECTION
It involves set of things such as :
 Survey and testing of cranes and elevators
 Survey and testing of towers, pullers, rafts
and barges
 Survey and testing of loaders and tractors
 Survey and testing of warehouses equipment
 Survey and testing of containers
 Survey and testing of each other equipment.

14. USE THE RESOURCE IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE.
To manage the equipment in a proper
way is to use every thing in its own
place and in the right time and exactly
how its suppose to me used.
And to use every resource you have to
help managing these functions of the
equipment.

15. ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE OPERATION.
The most important thing after all is the safety
of the men using the equipment and to ensure
that all the safety measures of using it is being
used.
And to ensure that the men working on this
equipment will be completely safe. And to
provide such as Life saving facilities and
equipment along with fire extinguishing
systems.

16. CONCLUSION
