Port Services

Port services - essential mechanisms to ensure

the proper execution of the different
commercial activities taking place at every
single port around the globe.
- also include the receiving, handling,
unloading and even additional shipping of
clients' products once they arrive at port and
come off the ship
How do port services help?
- focus only on those specific services.
- allows companies to scale up quickly, and also
allows them to have less variable risk as they
grow.
What Are Port Operations?
- refers to a series of maritime
procedures aimed to ensure the
smooth transition of vessels and their
containers from one terminal to
another.
Operations depends on a wide
number of factors, from geographical
characteristics to architectural
structure of the terminal and ease of
navigation.
Ex: MV Ever Given in Suez Canal
Challenges on ports:
1. Capacity constraints.
2. Technological advancements
3. Environmental concerns
Objective:
1. Minimize disruption in the port.
2. Balance all incoming and outgoing activity,
and to maintain clear communication with
all vessels involved.
Main operational activities performed in a
port?
1. Seaports are strategically built at the edge
of navigable water bodies, such as oceans, seas,
lakes, or rivers, as well as
artificial waterways like the Panama Canal or
Suez Canal.
2. Ports have been developed to accommodate
a wide range of ships of all kinds: cargo vessels,
cruise, and other passenger ships, fishing boats,
ferries, barges, recreational watercraft, and even
military vessels.
Multiple activities take place at the ports
terminal, depending on:
1. Purpose of which port.
2. Characteristics of the ships (passengers)
3. Type of products.
4. Type of condition (PCC, LPG, Ro/Ro, dry
cargo)
A seaport may be divided into various
terminals. Main port operations.
1. cargo loading and discharging;
2. Passenger embarkation and
disembarkation.
3. Ships facilities (mooring)
4. Cargo storage
5. Cargo staging (transfer to transport)
Administrative functions:
1. Control of goods
2. Security control
3. Traffic flow.
4. Stuffing containers
5. Consolidating cargoes
6. Weighing cargoes
7. Industrial activities
Smart ports
- digital port.
- more effective, more performant, and more
economically competitive port.
- use of real-time information, a collaborative
management approach, and essentially provide
more with less.
Common solutions implemented in smart ports
•use of remote-controlled ship-to-shore cranes,
automated guided vehicles, and gantry cranes
for quick and safe handling ;
•real-time information sharing between all
stakeholders for smooth communication and
optimized organization of port operations;
• electronic document interchange for fast
customs formalities and cargo release;
• connected sensors for conditions (weather,
wind, etc.) monitoring, potential sources of
hazards control inside the port and in its
surroundings, and air, water, and noise
pollution measurement.
Port operations contribute to the economy
- through job creation, trade facilitation, and the
movement of goods and commodities.
- ports are key players in global trade and play a
vital role in ensuring the smooth flow of goods
and services.
Maritime Supply Chain
- movement of cargo, and related support,
involving two destinations and using both
maritime (ocean) and land transportation.
- an entire network of interconnecting systems
that involve freight forwarders, shipping lines,
port terminal operators, and land-based logistics
systems
Freight forwarders companies that organize the
shipment of goods.
Shipping lines own and operate the vessels that
transport the goods across the sea.
Port terminal operators own or lease the port
where goods are delivered and then managed
by land-based logistics systems to get the goods
to their final destination.
Bad weather, oversaturated ports, and
crowded shipping routes can throw a
wrench into any shipment if not carefully
planned, observed, and rerouted if
necessary.
Importance of Maritime
Supply Chain
Approximately 80% of global trade per volume,
and over 70% by value are transported by sea
worldwide.
COVID 19 has demonstrated how disruptions
of the global supply chain can create economic
and governmental issues across the board. A
resilient supply chain is essential to a functioning
global economic system.
The maritime supply chain operating efficiently
ensures that everyone from governments, to
corporations, to individuals, receive what they
need when they want it.
Transport Logistics Management
- logistic company = port digitalization =
different skill sets
Challenges faced by MSC
1. Delays and port congestion.
2. Security due huge volume of goods.
3. Sustainable practices
Cargo handling refers to the overall activities
in warehouses and logistics centers, such as
loading and unloading cargo, transporting
cargo, warehousing, picking, and sorting.
- it requires the use of lifting equipment like
wire ropes, wire rope slings, hooks, forklifts,
cranes etc.
Pilotage - used to describe the navigation and
safe conduct of ships into and out of harbors.
- involves the provision of transport and
transfer of licensed marine pilots to and from
vessels
- enhance the safety of vessel traffic and
prevent environmental damage generated by
vessel traffic.
