Terminal Planning

Masterplan phase: quay length

terminal surface area

First assessment by applying capacity ratios

(ton/m/year; ton/m2/year) Calculation using parameterized formulae

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

Design by applying queuing theory or simulationmodels

Definitions capacity

Maximum instantaneous capacity

for design internal transport facilities

Optimum capacity ( To )

smooth operation, acceptable waiting times

Maximum annual capacity To x total no. of hrs/ year

Capacity Ratios

Quay length

Conventional Gen. Cargo 500-750 t/m/yr

Containers 3000-10,000 t/m/yr

(300 1000 TEU/m/yr)

Coal 25,000-75,000 t/m/yr

Iron ore 50,000-150,000 t/m/yr

Crude oil/VLCC 700 mt/berth/yr

Capacity Ratios (cont.)

Terminal Area

Conventional Gen. Cargo 4-6 t/m2/yr

Containers 16-20

Coal 15-25

Iron ore 30-40

Crude oil 40-50

NB: m2 = Gross surface area, incl. internal roads,buildings etc.

General Cargo Terminal

1. Quay length:

n = Cs/Cb Lq = 1.1 * n (Ls+ 15) + 15

Cb=p*N*t*mb

2. Terminal area

Per storage facility:O = (f1*f2*Cis*td)/(mis*h**365)

Additional surface area: roads, parking, offices

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
