Container Management in the Port of AntwerpContainer Management in the Port of Antwerp
PSA HesseNoord Natie Part of PSA group, a leading global port operator with home base in
Singapore, and an extensive global network of port projects in several countries across China, Europe, India, Korea and SE Asia and Japan
HesseNoord Natie is one of the major container gateways to Europe, operating terminals in the ports of Antwerp, Zeebrugge and Rotterdam.
Processing several million containers in Antwerp per year (7MTEU in 2007 in Antwerp and Zeebrugge)
in a 365/24/7 operation

Improving efficiency and safety in container yard operations at HesseNoord NatieImproving efficiency and safety in container yard operations at HesseNoord Natie
The problem :
keeping track of all containers during moves with straddle
carriers
Container yard = giant open-air warehouse and trans-shipment location Giant cranes for loading/unloading ships; Fleet of mobile cranes (straddle carriers and other) for moving
containers around and onto trains/trucks

Improving efficiency and safety in container yard operations at HesseNoord NatieImproving efficiency and safety in container yard operations at HesseNoord Natie
The problem : keeping track of all containers during moves with straddle carriers even though operation is organized using sophisticated planning
and wharehousing computer system, human error remains important problemEven 0.1% error rate would result in several 1000s of containers “lost” (i.e. whose recorded position differs from real position)
Current solution is manual check possible SAFETY risk (Human operators moving between large
moving equipment) COSTLY (time and labor) Impact on OPERATING EFFICIENCY, punctual operation etc

Automatic logging of pick-up and drop-off points for containers to mitigate human error
Linked to central yard-management SW : Using EGNOS (European satellite augmentation for accuracy
improvement) for accuracies better than ½ container width (standard size 20ft container≈ 6m x 2.5m x 2.3m)
Original implementation in Deurganck terminal with 44 straddlecarriers resulted in 0 “lost” containers; now rolled out on other terminals for >200 straddle carriers
