In May, the RWI/ISL Container Throughput Index shrank by almost two points from a (revised)
119.8 to 117.9 points. The index thus relapsed to a low level last seen in 2014.

RWI/ISL Container Throughput index
- 81 ports worldwide
- ~ 60 % of worlds throughput
- available 3 weeks in new month (typically on the 19th)

The mission of CHESSCON SHIFT PREVIEW



Check your current shift planning



Based on your current planned data:
Work-queues, Yard allocations, Yard inventory
 Optimize deployment of equipment
 Optimize yard allocations
 Avoid yard clashes

On short-term basis



High-speed calculation: 8 hr shift within minutes

Development funded by:

Cites from NTB – North Sea Terminal Bremerhaven
a joint venture of APM Terminals and the Eurogate group



CHESSCON Shift Preview was developed out of our demands for a fast simulation
of the current state of shift planning.



Together we (NTB) and ISL Applications GmbH defined a module, which is based
on operational as well as IT expertise.



The result is easy to use and supports short term optimisation of the day-to-day
shift planning.

Why Shift Preview ?
 Terminals,
which today are not in the position to analyse their operation predictively,
are living yesterday
Marc Dieterich, Operations Manager at NTB

Conclusion

Simulation to optimise terminal’s processes may be used

© ISL 2015



Within new types of advanced training



To visualise terminal‘s realtime state in 3D



To verify and optimise the current shift planning
