ISPS Measures by fashion of Salalah O02. 2 ISPS Requirements for the Line O03 X-Ray surveillance of Containers Introduction The competition among container ports continues to increase because of di? erentiating factors such as work, repair and fulfila nce. These factors draw and quarter up some of the major key selection criterias international transferral companies consider when selecting a transshipment port. With that in mind we the owners and managers at ARJ Container Terminal forget be trying to attract carriers with our automating handling equipment, the speeding up unthe likes of services, and providing the most current data on the ? w of containers. At the alike(p) cartridge clip, however, we exit reduce cost by utilizing our resources e? ciently, including human resources, berths, container, causes, quay hold outs, and dissimilar chiliad equipment. Our key and optimum advantage entrust be our location. This location in Little Bay, Little London Westmorland Jamaica West Indies lead cause the sufficient harbor water depth and dock space that go forth make it possible to facilitate docking of up to a Super-Panamax vessel.Dredging get out not be ask to accommodate these large draft vessels, indeed no distu rbance or depletion of whatever marine wildlife sanctuaries on the take floor or natural habitat exit be ca utilise. We and our management team argon greatly transportd by this because exterior of us urgencying to take a leak an optimal towering efficiency container destination, we similarly want to know that it is done with little or no impact on the sur bikeing environment and wildlife. ARJ Container Terminal location entrust be 25 minutes from the capital city of Savanna La Mar and 5 minutes from the A2 South Coast Highway.This lead aid greatly in our multimodal transportation grooming for both our clients and ourselves and as well as compliment positively on the domestic distribution side of our spicy society. We ar a limited liability fellowship that specialises in container and general clog handling for transshipment and domestic purposes. The company is owned by Shiek Revalino Bennet, Shiek Andre Gibson and Shiek Jenoir Dick and is manage by our seniors d irectors Oshane Polson, Tandra Morris and Jodian Braham The objective of ARJ is to fork out integrated freight rate service solutions for load ships companies world good.Due to our high-pitchedly competent managers, the company leave alone be able to substantially increase its cargo employee turnover and ensure regular cargo flow, and to compliment our effectiveness we allow be the whole terminal on the island of Jamaica with Sea-Rail transshipment operations. This depart enhance our domestic power and in turn bringing first sept service to the developing nation of Jamaica. Our developed terminal infrastructure, cargo handling technologies and modern equipment pull up stakes definitely ensure ARJs competitiveness and peak position in the transit market.We go forth offer value-added services including customs operations, freight universeity and logistics solutions so this lot basi chew the faty be a one tick shop for our customers/clients. ARJ will employ 111 qual ified specia keys in different handle to ensure the companys operational efficiency and productiveness direct is on par with the major terminals around the world and even outflank if possible. We atomic number 18 predicting from global feedback that our total container flow for 2013 will be slightly 750,000 TEU.

Including our landside operation, an estimate of 34 reachstackers a nd 45 TTUs are needed per STS crane. The specific ac search of TTUs in bumpicular will wager on the hold amongst the berth and the stacking area of the respective operation. The TTUs are used for the transport of the containers in the midst of the vessel and the container yard.Figure 1. 1- Reachstackers and TTU operation A storage energy of approx. 350 TEU per hectare for 3-high stacking and 500 TEU per hectare for 4-high stacking are common figures for our graphic symbol of yard equipment. The maximum stacking height is 5, container overeats can be kept 4-deep due to second row access. In vitrine of re delimittlement of capacities reachstackers are easily transported to an new(prenominal) terminal or used for former(a) cargo handling and because of their easy transportation surrounded by terminals reachstackers can be used to cover temporary indispensabilitys. place Carrier governing bodyThe STS crane will place containers onto the apron from where the SCs transport them to the stacking yard (see Figure 1. 2 and Figure 1. 3) and stack the containers. The SCs are independent from any some different equipment and are able to perform all the different handling operations transport, stacking and the freight rate/ set down of trucks and rail cars (see Figure 1. 3). SC constitutions are the optimal carcass for large size terminals when high flexibility in the yard and accessibility of the boxes are required and thay make it easy to alter the layout of the terminal.A storage capacitance of approx. 500 TEU per hectare stacking 2-high (3-high SC) and 750 TEU per hectare stacking 3-high (4-high SC) can be achieved. The maximum stacking height is 4-high. Including landside operation, an estimate of 45 SCs are required per STS crane without considering specific powers. The system will be supported by container handlers stacking MT boxes and/or RMGs for container handling in the rail yard. Figure 1. 2 Pure SC system Figure 1. 3 SC operations Conta iner transport and stacking and Loading / un shipment of rail cars System advantages SCs are able to cover all kinds of horizontal and vertical transports being necessary to perform container moves from the landside terminal interfaces (including truck handling and rail operation) via the container yard to handover positions below the STS cranes at quayside (and vice versa). the containers can be dropped on the ground so that no (or sole(prenominal) short) time lag times for handling equipment occur. This kind of container handover enables STS cranes to operate with a high productivity spot using a comparatively low number of SCs per crane. high number of concurrent container movements the breakdown of one SC has a comparatively low impact on the total handling process compared to the systems with TTUs the push party costs are lower due to the smaller number of vehicles no disturbance of the operation by trucks because these are loaded/unloaded outside the stacking yard th e system is flexible to changes based on operational requirements and terminal layouts can be simply altered as SCs can be easily moved within the terminal since no pre-set routes or tracks are needed Rubber-Tyred Gantry Crane System with Tractor-Trailer UnitsThe STS gantry crane places the container on a TTU unit that transports the container to the storage area where the RTG crane stacks the containers in long blocks (see Figure 1. 4). The RTG can be used for TTUs and road trucks as well. The size and structure of the RTG crane is determined according to the requirements of the terminal operator. The system has a very high stacking assiduousness because of the high stacking capability and the block stacking. Long traveling distances on the terminal are less problematical as TTUs transport the containers.RTG cranes will also be effectively used for the handling of containers on road trucks or rail cars. According to manufacturers, up to four tracks can be covered and containers c an be stored at the side of the rail tracks. They can be allocated from the yard to the landside operation and vice versa, if necessary. Including landside operation 23 RTGs and 45 TTUss (depending on the distance amidst berth and stacking area) are required per STS crane. They stack the container in blocks 1-over-4- to -7-high and 5 to 8 container rows plus 1 lane for container handover laneFigure 1. 4 RTG cranes and TTUs in the stacking yard, rail yard operation by RMGs System advantages low space requirement in the stacking area because of the high storage capacity in a small area (high stacking density). The containers can be stacked up to 8- high (i. e. 1-over-7-high)1 without spacing for traveling lanes between the rows. relatively high flexibility as the RTGs can be transported to early(a) storage blocks Rail-Mounted Gantry Crane System These cranes are mounted on fixed rail tracks with a jut out outside the portal of cranes (see Figure 1. ). Figure 1. 5 RMG cranes with TTUs System advantages RMGs in the main stack higher and span wider, with up to 1-over-7-high and 12 containers wide Stacking density of the yard is higher with RMG cranes and can exceed 1,000 TEU per hectare (stacking 4-high) Automated Guided Vehicles The horizontal transport of the containers will be performed with AGVs. (See Figure 1. 6). The handover positions for trucks are located at the top-end of the stacking blocks. The stacking of the containers is usually carried out by automated RMGs.The ShC is designed primarily to work containers between the shipss side and container stacks served by RMG cranes. As it is able to stack containers two high it will also be used for load and unloading road trucks and rail cars. The shuttle carrier is an substitute(a) aim at more efficiency to handle the container transport between the stacks and the quay cranes, and s bank maintain high density stacking by RTG or RMG yard cranes. Figure 1. 6 RMG cranes with AGVs System advantages ver y low labor costs because of automation high system accessibility very high productivity of horizontal transport The layout and choice of our equipment and their interface will depend on, amongst others, the number of containers to be handled, accessible area type of back country transport. The combining of our terminal equipment to be used will depend on if they are at the vessel, for transport tasks between quay and stacking yard ( or reverse) for container stacking, for transport from stacking yard to and from the landside operation area for landside operation itselfOperational areas 1. The area between quay wall and container yard 2. container yard 3. terminal area of landside operations example the gate, parking, office buildings, customs facilities etc The container yard will be an intermediate storage forwardness significance the containers will remain from a couple of hours to some weeks. There are different possibilities for the layout of our intermediate stor age area. We may have stacking area which is compact, low ground area consuming stack without spacing known as block stack (see Figure 2. 1).In cases like these, yard gantry cranes will be used for the stacking of containers being delivered by terminal equipment of horizontal transport. An choice is the bi business concernar stack (see Figure 2. 2) where the containers are stacked by Straddle Carriers (SC). This type of stacking will have spacing between the container rows and relatively wide terminal roads. Export and import containers will be segregated within the yard area and piled up to 4 containers high and pre-sorted for the various hinterland transport modes.
