Cargo Flow Analysis ~ Continued

Reducing move distance by berth proforma

Analyze the Berth proforma with primarily aims in minimizing the move distance, especially to the biggest connection it has, and consideration of choosing the yard layout from overall view including from the connection being discharge from another berth .
ØBiggest connection from IN_BERTH to the same berth of Loading

Reducing move distance by in_berth discharge

Further lookup of reducing move distance by looking at the in_berth discharge of the service and allocating its service (Loading block) closer to the discharge berth, it needs a balance up between the discharge berth and loading berth in order to create win-win situation for both occasions
ØAdjusting IN_BERTH ( Discharge berth ) to be as close with OUT_BERTH ( loading berth )



Combination of build_up discharge

Finding the best combination for each service by taking consideration of discharge build_up together, this intend to reduce the RTG requirement by maximizing the movement in the block

Grouping of top volume service from hauliers to proper export block

Separating high volumes service coming from hauliers to a proper block instead to overflow export block, prime intention is to shift out and reducing the burden of housekeeping along the weeks, this might also increase the requirement for RTGs but no proof yet to have an effect to Hauliers turnaround time, the benefits is no Housekeeping required for this and can be loading directly from this block

Overflow export block

A mean to reduce the total number of housekeeping where through export cargo flow analysis , all the biggest connection of export boxes will be plan at the proper export block ,where then will be loaded directly from this block , it also help the planner to concentrate more to housekeep in the transshipment block


Creating mix section allocation for each service block

Will act as a buffer before more boxes falls to the pre-stacking area. Each service in each block have this given section of at least 1x20 and 1x40 slot .it permits mix section within the slot but no compromise in the stacking factor, instead of diverting boxes anywhere, the mix section (allocation) will try to capture this and no need to housekeep ...as the boxes will still be around in its service block

Pre-stack transshipment block....

A provision for a pre-stack area, advisable that the planner monitored closely the movement here as to avoid tight connection falls here and to avoid "happy dumping"

Nomination of empties to on-carrier prior to discharge.

Plan directly to transshipment stacks.
Based on cargo flow analysis.
Reduction of move distances.
Increase RTG utilization.
Spread out the laden sections to prevent clashes upon loading.
