Abstract: | The planning, design and development of a container terminal with optimum size and capacity and with a minimum capital cost
is fundamentally dependent upon the loading and discharging operations at the quayside. Achieving this purpose, terminal operators
have to choose the best operating system in the container yard. The decision on which equipment is used at container terminals
depends on several factors. The purpose of this study is to provide a new decision making tool using the first law of thermodynamics.
It considers a port as a control volume of a fluid system and models the port and its traffic on it. The results of this study
evaluate container yard operating systems and set up a basis for decision making to select the best alternatives. |
