container terminal operations

Container terminal operations involve the handling, storage, and movement of shipping containers. When ships arrive, cranes unload containers and place them onto trucks, trains, or storage yards. Containers are then sorted, stored temporarily, and later loaded onto other transportation means for delivery. The process relies on coordinated machinery like cranes, reach stackers, and yard trucks, along with systems for tracking containers. The goal is to efficiently transfer cargo between ships and land transportation, ensuring timely delivery while maintaining safety and organization throughout the terminal.
