Abstract
The size and capacity of the largest container vessels
continues to increase in response to the economies of
scale in container ship operations, the strong growth
in global container traffic, and the competitive pressures
between shipping lines. This in turn drives the need
for higher capacity terminals to meet the new demands.
In addition, globalization of trade, mergers & acquisitions
among the major shipping players has opened the doors
for shipment of enormous amount of cargo through containers.
This growth has also opened a can of worms for ports
to efficiently manage the load and discharge the cargo
with in the limited space and limited resources.
A closer look at the current state of port throws wide
challenges for port authorities in managing the key
ports more efficiently. This paper addresses the key
trends and challenges for port operations and in particular
about terminal management.
