Containerization



3. Advantages

ADVANTAGES OF CONTAINERIZATION1. Reduced ship time in Port2. Better berth utilization3. Reduced time between producer and

consumer4. Minimum physical handling of cargo – less

damage5. Good security – less pilferage6. Protection against weather and other

harmful atmosphere7. Less labour & staff cost8. Saving in packaging cost

CONTAINER SYSTEM FACILITIESA : TERMINAL

Quay or Berth Quay Apron or Wharf Yard Control Centre Gate

Types of Container TerminalFeeder

Mainline

Hub

Feeder Terminal Definition: Where vessels directly calling at

POD/POO cannot be supported and so containers have to be handled through smaller vessels for connecting to mother vessels calling at other

ports/terminalsCharacteristics

Shallow berth – less then 10 m draft Low volume Poor/inadequate

infrastructure/equipment Low productivity

Mainline Terminal Definition: Where vessels calling directly at

POD/POO can be serviced Characteristics

Modestly high draft – 12 m Quay length – upto 300 m Good productivity – 50-70 moves/vessel

hour Sufficient exchange per call

HUB TerminalDefinition: Where mega ships (more than

6000 tues) with container for several ports can be serviced

Characteristics Draft more than 14.5 m Quay length in excess of 330 m Equipped with many high capability quay cranes Large backup area (yard) – more than 10000 tue

cap. Good hinterland connectivity Productivity in excess of 120 moves/hour

Receipt / Delivery Operation Sites

Container Freight Station

Inland Container Depot

Container Freight Station (CFS)To provide place for storing import/export

FCL containers

To provide facilities for completing customs/documentation formalities before delivery/shipment

To destuff LCL import containers and to provide space for their storage before delivery

To receive and consolidate individual export consignments and stuff them as LCL cargo

Definition of FCL/LCL

FCL : Full Container Load

LCL : Less than Container Load
