Future Port – Australian Port ITS

1-stop Container Terminal Vehicle Booking System (Michael Bouari to speak later)

Containerchain Empty Container Park Notification System (Luke Duffy to speak later)

Integrated Cargo System (ICS) automated customs clearance process = paperless.

Wisetech Global Cargowise and Hi Tech Freight’s Customs Broker/Freight Forwarder systems =

world leading – high levels of visibility of supply chain

Semi automated terminals now in place in Brisbane, and Sydney and developing more in Melbourne

Brisbane example:

All three terminals at Port of Brisbane (PoB) – DPW, Patrick, Hutchison – are semi automated

Two systems– automated unmanned straddle carriers (Patrick) and automated stacking cranes

(DPW, Hutchison )

Autostrads developed by Patrick in Australia at POB. Now also at Patrick terminal in Sydney

Congestion Management System and Queuing Control System to automatically handle queues in

Fremantle

Cargo Movement Co-ordination Centre (CMCC) using Port Botany Landside Improvement Strategy

tailored RFID supported systems in Sydney

General ITS Overview – Australian Ports

Congestion Management System

Further Development - Truck Control System

Performance Indicators (KPIs) include:

Truck Turnaround Times (TTT - with incentive for handling trucks with multiple containers)

Queues on Roads

“Off Peak” (6pm-6am)

operations, etc.

Key considerations include: Safety and Security – trucks on roads, trucks taking too long to perform

certain activities

Other requirements include congestion detection and providing instruction to

drivers

Fremantle Ports provided scope – Industry & consultant = recommendations

Key considerations:

Minimal involvement of Fremantle Ports personnel ongoing

(i.e.: no Vehicle/Traffic Control Centre)

Minimal ongoing cost

Ease of KPI comparison

Current Developments:

In action = Queuing control - Video imaging processing

Programming scope = TTT – likely RFID/ANPR combination

Truck Control System - Queuing Control & TTT

4

Queuing

KPI = No queuing on roads.

Security concerns about certain vehicles in certain areas on roads

No practical means of manually determining this

Port has developed a system using video zoning technology

(in implementation – see photo)

Warnings provided to tenant and port officer

Failure to act = discussions with authorities (security) or with tenants (KPIs)

Vehicle Detection (including Truck Turn Time - TTT)

Security considerations from point-to-point vehicle durations (illicit activity?)

KPI = Site to service truck in given time period (TTT)

ANPR to capture vehicles on entry and exit = verification (security) or audit (TTT)

Significant issues with queuing and congestion at terminals

Concerns on part of industry of no reciprocity in penalties.

NSW Solution – Regulation through Port Botany Landside Initiative (PBLIS)

Road operator gets slots in 1-stop VBS & uses Transport NSW RFID tag

Metropolitan vehicles not to arrive prior to slot opening

If early, enter TMA (e.g. country = anytime / metro = 1 hour before)

RFID system recognises vehicles joining queues too early on external

roads

Reciprocity of penalties:

Transport operators pay penalty if queuing too early/arriving late

Terminals pay penalty if truck turn time exceeds threshold, fail to

service truck in time/at all or cannot find container

Deloitte Access Economics found:

Turn times for trucks have decreased (53 min to, recently 23 min.)

On time running and 24/7 operations increased

Regulation resulted in some rigidities

(e.g. CTOs received more time if vehicle exits

and reenters for back to back slots) – now eliminated

as cross time-zone manifesting now enabled

Transport for NSW – PBLIS Initiative

Developed by PoB in conjunction with supplier

Fully automated 24/7 public weighbridge in Australia

Able to weigh the longest multi trailer multi-axle

vehicles operating at container ports in country

3 types of weighs including individual axle

groups simultaneously

Multiple sensors and signage to ensure proper

positioning for weighing

Weighbridge ticket includes a photo of the

vehicle being weighed

Simple touch-screen operation

Able to use pre-purchased codes

Credit card and billing account also possible

Separate vehicle verification through Automated

Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)

Meets Chain of Responsibility (CoR) and Verified

Export Container Weighing (IMO MO42 VGM

amendment) requirements

Provides auditable records showing vehicles

controlled legal mass to meet CoR Container

Weight Declaration requirements.

Port of Brisbane (PoB) – Fully Automated Weighbridge

Hutchison ASC terminal Brisbane & Sydney

Australia likely has the highest percentage of automated terminals for a multiple, major

container port country in the world (five major, three of which semi-automated container terminal ports).

Port of Brisbane was an early world leader in automation and the Patrick auto-strad operating system is still

an efficient and world-unique terminal operating method, which is now shared in other terminals in Australia.

The three terminal operators in Brisbane and Patrick and Hutchison in Sydney have automated stacking

areas. Indications were that stacking automation is a consideration in other ports’ planning.

Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) = new levels of automation

Weigh in Motion devices at eastern states terminals provide CoR weighs for vehicles exiting

One of the few countries in the world with booking systems to regulate arrivals at both terminals and empty

parks (cannot enter without booking and, in most cases, at time of booking)

1-stop VBS and e-Gate makes paperless flows at both terminals and empty parks

Australia Border Force’s Integrated Cargo System (ICS) one of the most comprehensive, largely paperless,

automated customs clearance systems in the world
