Terminal Planning Masterplan phase: quay length terminal surface area • First assessment by applying capacity ratio’s (ton/m’/year; ton/m2/year) • Calculation using parameterized formulae

Fst = α * A * (td /365) * C* f (Ps /Pl /Ptd )

• Design by applying queuing theory or simulation models April 26, 2007

Definitions capacity • Maximum instantaneous capacity Æ for design internal transport facilities • Optimum capacity ( To ) Æ smooth operation, acceptable waiting times • Maximum annual capacity Æ To x total no. of hrs/ year April 26, 2007

Capacity Ratio’s Quay length • Conventional Gen. Cargo • Containers • Coal • Iron ore • Crude oil/VLCC

April 26, 2007

500-750 t/m/yr 3000-10,000 t/m/yr (300 – 1000 TEU/m/yr) 25,000-75,000 t/m/yr 50,000-150,000 t/m/yr 700 mt/berth/yr

Gross surface area, incl. internal roads, buildings etc. 10

General Cargo Terminal 1. Quay length:

n = Cs/Cb Cb = p*N*t*mb

Lq = 1.1 * n (Ls + 15) + 15

2. Terminal area Per storage facility:

O = (f1*f2*Cis*td)/(mis*h*ρ*365) Additional surface area: roads, parking, offices

Upgrading Conventional GC Terminal • Multi-purpose terminal. Combination with container terminal and/or Ro-Ro facilities • All-weather terminal. Handling of paper, steel, etc.

Upgrading Conventional GC Terminal • Multi-purpose terminal. Combination with container terminal and/or Ro-Ro facilities • All-weather terminal. Handling of paper, steel, etc. • Dedicated container terminal, existing terminal geometry inadequate

Required changes • sheds to be removed • more depth of land for terminal yard • very often: more depth of water and width of basin Example: Port of Genoa, Italy
