This study aims at calculating berth length required of the given volume of containers. For this, unlike previous studies assuming 300,000 TEU per berth as the capacity of a berth, this study attempts to apply more realistic situation such as the distribution of vessel size, lifts per vessel, berth time by vessel size, and average berth occupancy ratio. the result are compared with that of Pusan New port planning.

KCTA(Korea Container Terminal Authority) is going to introduce automated operating system in the port of Gwangyang container terminal to enhance the efficiency. Prior to developing the container terminal, defining the objective of container terminal operation is essential. This research used AHP technique to define the operation objective of automated container terminal objectively, and the questionnaire to collect the opinions of future customer, operator and research institution. The objectives mix of the automated container terminal are composed of the minimization of initial investments, the minimization of operational expenses, the performance of automation system, the raising of operation efficiency and productivity and the improvement of customer service. The result of the analysis revealed that most important factor among objectives mix was “the minimization of operation expense”. Especially, the user group preferred to select the factor of “the improvement of customer service”as objective rather than select other objectives. The result of this research will suggest some guidelines for deciding the level of investment of terminal construction. information system, automation equipment, terminal worker and etc., which are to be considered in terminal development and the system development hereafter.

As the environment surrounding ports is rapidly changing and ports competition in Southeast Asia has become more severe to secure cargo volumes, ports strive to enhance their competitiveness by improving the efficiency of operations. The operational efficiency of ports, plays a crucial role to improve a nation's. This study aims to analyze the efficiency of container port and its determinants during over five year(2006 to 2010) period using DEA-O and Tobit regression respectively. The results show that firstly, Gamman is the most efficient container terminal, followed by New Gamman container terminal and Hutchison Busan container terminal. Secondly, it is notable that the efficiency of Busan Newport is dramatically increasing, and finally, the yard productivity of the container port is only influencing determinant of all.

The main function of a container terminal is to load container freights into vessels and discharge them from vessels. The container terminal needs to utilize its resources effectively in order to improve the productivity of it. This study deals with the deployment model for yard cranes whose type is RMGC (rail mounted gantry crane). We develop a mathematical model for the deployment of yard cranes. The model considers not only the deployment but also the storage plans. It could be divided into two cases according to whether inter-block movements of yard cranes are allowed or not, during the same period Numerical examples are solved and analyzed to validate the model. Then, additional experiments are performed to compare the performance of the model with that of a previous model without the re-deployment of yard cranes.

As the shipping market deteriorates, shipping companies seek to realize economies of scale by promoting the enlargement of container ships. Container terminal operators are increasingly adopting automated equipment and systems in order to quickly provide services and attract traffic. As such, the competition for each terminal to become a hub port is intensifying. Increased automation of advanced container terminals improves productivity and efficiency In the meantime, Korea remains semi-automated. Therefore, the relevant subject survey through SPSS 23.0 program for analysis of recognition difference, We will check the awareness among stakeholders for the smooth introduction.

The container terminal can be divided into berth-side, yard area and gate. Until now, many studies related to the improvement of the terminal operation efficiency have been focused on berth and yard productivity. With regard to gate operation, existing studies were examined from hardware perspectives such as non-stop system using RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) or OCR(Optical Character Reader). Relatively little research has been curried out on the improvement of the gate in/out process. In this regard, this paper proposes the method to improve the terminal operation efficiency.

In recent years, the busan port is now facing a serious crisis. Exterally, though worldwide economics depression is a serious factor, cuttthroat competition between north port and new port since new port open lead to decrease terminal profitability and busan port image. The essential cause is crowed with terminal operators. therefore, This paper empirically analyze the container terminal integration factor solving busan port problem affecting the competitiveness performance. According to research results, integration between operators will be to acomplish global terminal, and so, contribute to increase service power, port productivity, cargoes and to be hub-port at the north-east asia. These results show political suggestions for importance of repid integration to improve busan port's competitiveness.

In case of Busan Port container terminals scale of a yard device chapter is small and narrow, and redundant works of device chapter facilities ability and transfer cranes are misgovernment occurring very much bemuse of this There is to the misgovernment that cannot support design ability of a container crane of quay because of this There is this in a change of marine transportation harbor environment to cross over to a large easel next of a ship, and a large problem cannot but become. Watched how redundant works were occurring in the second yards, and presented a problem Also, present the hint point tint these redundant works analyze how productivity of quay productivity and container crane is improved if solution works, and face to this.

The production of larger of ships is a survival strategy for global shipping companies to pursue the economics of scale. According to this strategy, to respond to this situation, many containers are loading/unloading simultaneously in the hub port. Additionally, the container terminals are promoting the introduction of automation to expand the terminal facilities and increase efficiency/productivity of the container yards. European ports have introduced automation to address rising labor costs and shortages of labor. Recently, the construction of fully automated container terminals is increasing in the United States and China to resolve problems such as the slow growth of the global economy, the emergence of large ships, air pollution, and safety accidents. Domestic ports are at an early stage compared to the world's advanced container terminals, and countermeasures are being prepared to respond to the changing ports. However, research on the recognition difference analysis that examines the opinions of stakeholders is insufficient. As a result of analyzing the recognition among the groups, it was found that container terminal operators reduced labor costs, improved shipping services for shipping companies, prevented safety accidents for port union labor, and increased service for port authority and government agencies. Thus, to closely examine the perception among the groups, one-way ANOVA was performed, and then the implications were deduced as the basic data for the smooth introduction of automation.

컨테이너 터미널에서는 장치장으로 반입되는 수출 컨테이너의 무게를 몇 단계 그룹으로 나누고 각 무게그룹 별로 모아서 장치한다. 이는 수출 컨테이너를 선박에 싣는 적하 작업 시 선박의 안정성을 위하여 무거운 무게그룹의 컨테이너들을 장치장에서 먼저 반출하여 선박의 바닥 쪽에 놓기 위함이다. 하지만 반입되는 컨테이너의 무게그룹을 결정할 때 사용하는 운송사로부터 받은 무게정보는 부정확한 경우가 많아 하나의 스택(stack)에 서로 다른 무게그룹에 속하는 컨테이너들이 섞이게 된다. 이로 인하여 무거운 무게그룹의 컨테이너를 반출할 때 해당 컨테이너의 상단에 놓여진 보다 가벼운 무게그룹의 컨테이너들을 임시로 옮겨야 하는 재취급(rehandling, reshuffling)이 발생하게 된다. 적하작업 시 장치장에서 재취급이 빈번히 발생하면 작업이 지연되므로 터미널 생산성 향상을 위해서는 재취급 발생을 가급적 줄여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 기계학습 기법을 적용하여 반입 컨테이너의 무게그룹을 보다 정확히 추정하는 방안을 제안한다. 또한 탐색을 통하여 분류기 생성에 관여하는 비용행렬(cost matrix)을 조정함으로써 재취급 발생을 줄일 수 있는 분류기(classifier)를 생성하는 방안을 함께 소개한다. 실험 결과 본 논문에서 제안하는 방안 적용 시 재취급 발생을 $5{\sim}7%$ 정도 줄일 수 있음을 예상할 수 있었다.
