Abstract

This study aims at newly constructing and evaluating performance of the stevedoring equipment systems in terminals. The stevedoring equipments used in conventional terminals are insufficient in flexibility in their functions or design structure, and most of the stevedoring systems based on such equipments have conventional design, therefore, limited in improving the productivity of terminals both in performance and functionality. The stevedoring equipment systems in terminals, in general, can be subdivided into 4 subsystems of quay, transportation, yard, and gate system, which carry out loading and unloading works with proper facilities and equipments. In this study, a design of next generation stevedoring equipment system comprised of various stevedoring equipments which have superior performance and functionalities to the conventional equipments was proposed, and its performance was evaluated.
