Simulation-Based Approach to a More Efficient Handling Strategy for a Container Terminal Storage Yard: Case Study of the Baltic Hub Container Terminal
Abstrakt
The primary objective of this research was to implement a more efficient handling strategy in the container terminal storage yard at the Baltic Hub Container Terminal (BHCT). Following an analysis of the current logistics system associated with starboard-side mooring, an attempt was made to shift the mooring to the port side. Two routing strategies corresponding to the analysed mooring operations were tested using a developed model. Simulations were conducted to enable a comparison of various handling strategies that were suitable for the mooring arrangements and equipment under investigation. This analysis was based on reliable information obtained from a real process. Evaluative criteria for examining the impact of changing the handling strategy of internal movement vehicles (IMVs) in the terminal storage yard in terms of process efficiency included the total time and distance of container transportation and the truck utilisation level. A new route for IMVs was developed to accommodate the changed mooring operation. This adjustment aimed to enhance the discharge process and to reduce the distance travelled, resulting in a reduction in fuel consumption. The shorter travel distance also positively impacted productivity, and contributed to a reduction in operating costs. The changes to the mooring arrangement directly resulted in a 10% increase in the quay crane gross productivity, measured in moves per hour (mph). Given that many ports do not pay attention to how ships are moored, the case study and analysis presented here can help staff quickly improve their handling strategy and productivity, thus increasing the port’s competitiveness.
