In the 52nd edition of PTI we look at factors affecting the TCO in equipment procurement, draw up safety checklists for quay cranes and mooring operations, and take a look at the Port of Long Beach's new multi-sensor port security system.
Our 51st edition looks at how the expansion of the Panama Canal will affect global cargo flows, and the changing role of the Suez Canal. The edition also contains a focus on optimising automated container terminals, and the most effective use of tandem operation and double cycling in container handling.
Our 50th edition looks at how the Maersk Triple-E vessels will affect the port industry, the integration of maritime and inland freight distribution systems, and the myriad different applications of simulation technology.
In our latest edition, we explore the geographical strategies of global terminal operators; how to recognise the bogus bomb and drug detectors that are finding their way into ports; and look at new innovations in the design of floating bulk terminals.
In this edition, we focus on expansion and diversification; APM Terminals preview their new capacity-boosting STS crane; and we interview the CEO of the Port of Salalah, Peter Ford.
This edition looks in-depth at coal handling, environmentally friendly port development and maximising safety through automation.
Edition 46 has a focus on maintaining steel sheet piling quay walls and preventing corrosion and subsidence; also articles on GPS jamming, and the evolution of sonar technology in port security applications.
Edition 45 looks in-depth at coordinating effective responses to oil spills, how simulation modelling helps terminals plan for the future, and how South African ports are expanding to meet demand.
Articles in this edition include a perspective on port choice from CMA CGM Group, pneumatic self-unloaders for bulk handling, and considering marine spatial planning for seaports.
Edition 43 includes articles on strategic master-planning of port growth and development; implementing TWIC systems, and crane refurbishment.
