Terminal conteneur

Résumé

thumb|upright=1.5|Les portiques et le terre-plein du port de Yangshan près de Shanghai. Un terminal conteneur est une infrastructure spécialisée dans le transbordage de conteneurs entre différents modes de transport. Les transbordages sont souvent effectués entre un porte-conteneurs et un véhicule terrestre, camion ou train par exemple ; le terminal sera alors décrit comme un terminal porte-conteneurs. De la même manière, les transbordages peuvent avoir lieu entre deux véhicules terrestres, le plus souvent, des trains et des camions, c'est alors un terminal à conteneurs terrestre. Histoire En , le premier terminal à conteneur terrestre au monde est ouvert par la compagnie Pennsylvania Railroad (une compagnie ferroviaire) à . Le situé sur la baie de Newark, dans le port de New York (aussi appelé port de New York - New Jersey en anglais) est considéré comme le premier terminal conteneur au monde. Le , le bateau Ideal X a été modifié pour expérimenter l'utilisation de cont

International sea-freight container transportation has grown dramatically over the last years and container terminals represent nowadays a key actor in the global shipping network. Terminal managers have to face with an increasing competitiveness among terminals, which require more and more efficiency in container operations both along the quayside and within the yard: the objective is usually to minimize ships turnaround time, one of the main indicators of the terminal performance for the shipping companies. Moreover the minimization of operational costs directly entails the achievement of competitive terminal fares, thus increasing the attractiveness for new customers. Operations research methods and techniques are therefore worth being used in optimizing terminal operations. In this work, we first give an overview of decision problems which arise in the management of a container terminal (e.g. berth allocation, quay crane scheduling, storage policies and strategies, transfer operations, ship stowage planning). Then, starting from a collaboration with some of the busiest ports in Europe, we have identified some critical issues which will be illustrated: in particular, we focus on the impact that gate operations and transshipment operations have on the yard and we propose a new approach to the yard management which takes into account these interactions. We conclude with suggestions of possible research tracks and open issues.

Optimization at Container Terminals: Status, Trends and Perspectives

Michel Bierlaire, Matteo Salani, Ilaria Vacca

Over the last years, international sea-freight container transportation has grown dramatically and container terminals play nowadays a key-role in the global shipping network. The increased competitiveness among terminals requires more and more efficiency in container operations, both along the quayside and within the yard, in order to minimize ships turnaround time. Operations research methods and techniques are therefore worth being used in optimizing terminal operations. In this work, we first give an overview of decision problems which arise in the management of a container terminal (e.g. berth allocation, crane scheduling, storage policies and strategies, transfer operations) and we briefly describe models and methods presented in the literature. Then, starting from a collaboration with some of the busiest ports in Europe, we have identified some critical issues which will be illustrated: in particular, we focus on the impact that gate operations and transshipment operations have on the yard and we propose a new approach to the yard management which takes into account these interactions. We conclude with suggestions of possible research tracks and open issues.
