Evaluation of Handling Systems for Container Terminals
Publication: Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering

Abstract
The issue of adopting automated handling systems is critical for both newly developing container terminals and existing ones because related technologies are rapidly progressing. However, this always increases capital burdens on terminal operators and does not always guarantee increased productivity. This general aspect of automated systems is somewhat dependent on terminal characteristics such as labor costs. This paper, therefore, discusses the determination of handling systems, particularly with respect to Korea.
