Overall impact of increasing ship size

Shipping Lines:
 Benefits of
reduced ship operating costs
lower cost per container moved
improved environmental impact
 Risks of
reduced manoeuvrability & increased ‘windage’
potential single loss of ship and cargo
missing optimum capacity targets

Ports and Terminals:
 Risks of
initial & maintained berth & channel dredging
capex for longer berths, craneage & yard
infrastructure
berthing challenges (tugs, mooring lines &
bollards)
congestion within & outside terminal

Loss prevention actions & Conclusions

Shipping Lines:
 Ensure good master / pilot communications
 Contract for tugs of sufficient capacity & number
 Expect to go to sea when storm forecast

Ports and Terminals:
 Position quay cranes in the centre of the berth
 Specify & maintain cranes appropriately
 Expect & plan for storm conditions
 Consider automation
