AUTOMATIC TRANSHIPMENT SYSTEMS FOR CONTAINER TRANSPORT IN TERMINALS

Abstract

In automated container terminals, containers are transported from the marshalling yard to a ship and vice versa by Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV). In the blocks operate the Automatic Stacking Cranes (ASC). Delivery operations by automated guided vehicles (AGVs) play an important role for synchronizing operations of container cranes with yard cranes in port. These cranes provide transport for the container terminal inside most of the waterfront, which is mainly for loading and unloading containers on a container ship into the predetermined storage terminal sector.
