Investments into Port Productivity –
How to do more for less

Why is Investment in Port Productivity important?
Challenges for Maritime Terminals
• Mega-ships create mega headaches
• More cargo is concentrated on a
single ship, leading to peak loads
• Adaptations to infrastructure and
equipment are needed
• Efficient waterside processes need
to go hand in hand with high
performing hinterland systems
Challenges for Inland Terminals
• Higher peak loads across the
entire supply chain network due to
mega ships
• Insufficient terminal and
intermodal infrastructure capacity
to efficiently handle cargo volumes
• Increased network constraints will
affect service and performance

Data Driven Logistics Decision Making
The Challenges
• Individualization: More & more tasks (orders, deliveries,
transports) have to be coordinated at high speed
• Immediateness: Wise decisions need to be taken
despite permanent, erratic & unplannable market changes
• Big Data: It's not the huge amount of data that is
overwhelming but the huge amount of possible actions
• The Unexpected: Taking complex decisions in a quick,
flexible & situational and adaptable way is key to success

Operations Research (OR)
Powered by OR algorithms,
there are many techniques for greatly
speeding up the search for good solutions
Equipment
• Last/current position
• Job suitability
• Availability & time windows
• Driving times/distances
Load Unit
• Size, type, content,
restrictions
• Departure time &
destination
Yard
• Slot suitability
• Slot restrictions
• Retrieval distance
• Operational areas
