Impact of Globalization on Development of Modern Container Terminals

This article presents influence of globalization and container traffic growth on the development of modern and sophisticated container terminals. Due to the fast growing rate of the global container trade, every major port is under the pressure of meeting the projected capacity demand. An increasing size of container ships requires improving the port’ s ground handling and distribution systems. An increase in the efficiency of those systems is mandatory to achieve further reduction of terminal operating costs on the one hand and to ensure sufficiently short lay time for the ships in port on the other.
