Container terminals are living ecosystems built over complex and large infrastructures with a significant number of parties interacting in a coordinated way to offer highly complex logistic services under strict operational planning and tight cost controls.
Due to the port and shipping industry’s competitiveness, challenging requirements and demanding needs, port operations must be carried out in a very accurate manner to achieve high operational efficiency, while also ensuring safety.
Port efficiency is typically characterised by maximising terminal cargo operations productivity rates and minimising holistic idle time during the end-to-end port call process.
