Port Container Terminals Energy Profile
Activity 1: Mapping of Port Container Terminals Energy Profile 12
1 INTRODUCTION
The present document is defined as the Milestone 2 “Report of Port Container Terminals
Energy Profile”, developed within the framework of the TEN-T project “Green Technologies
and Eco-Efficient Alternatives for Cranes and Operations at Port Container Terminals –
GREENCRANES”.
GREENCRANES is a study taking the form of a pilot action. The general objective of
GREENCRANES is to test new technologies (energy consumption monitoring) and alternative
energy sources and fuels (i.e. LNG, Diesel Phase IV, electrification and other eco-fuels)
including pilot deployment in port container terminals (PCTs) contributing thereby to
mitigating the impact on climate change and reducing GHG emissions.
This report presents the results derived from the works developed in the Activity 1 of the
project “Mapping of Port Container Terminals Energy Profile”. As presented in the project
proposal of GREENCRANES, Activity 1 is divided into two sub-activities:
Sub-Activity 1.1 Characterization of PCTs Processes and Activities. Sub-Activity 1.1 is focused
on detailed processes descriptions which take place at PCTs with specific focus on the project
partners (PCTs of Valencia, Livorno and Koper). Characterizations of the different stages of PCT
operatives and the relationships among them have been described in detail so that depicting
real operations as previous phase for the definition of energy consumption maps at PCTs.
Sub-Activity 1.2 Definition of Energy Consumption Maps at Port Container Terminals.
According to the different processes described in Sub-Activity 1.1., methods to describe energy
profiles on footprint impact and energy consumption mapping have been developed. The
objective is to set harmonized parameters to integrate them on the general port-logistic
operational models and on the Energy Efficiency Indicators (EEI) System proposed in the
project.
The report is structured into four sections which present and analyze the operative models of
the three participant port container terminals (Noatum Container Terminal Valencia-NCTV,
Livorno Darsena Toscana-TDT and Koper Container Terminal) as well as detailed energy
consumption data of each terminal. Moreover, the document provides two annexes which
include results from real meters carried out on port machinery at NCTV (Spain) and TDT (Italy).
The main added value of the present report is the provision of harmonized energy
consumption data and carbon footprint indicators which cover the whole operative framework
of three port container terminals from Spain, Italy and Slovenia. These three installations differ
in key aspects like size, type and volume of traffics (export, import, and transhipment) and
operational models, so GREENCRANES represents an outstanding opportunity for introducing
common and standardization criteria in the critical aspects which affect energy efficiency at
PCTs.
The main objective of this Milestone is to set the basis for the next developments planned in
the project, since a detailed knowledge of the energy dimension of a PCT is necessary to
evaluate the specific requirements of the proposed eco-efficient alternatives in
GREENCRANES.

2 PORT MANAGEMENT MODELS
Ports are key nodes within the global logistics and supply chains. In order to efficiently manage
these strategic infrastructures, both the public and private sector develop important functions
with the aim of responding to the demands and requirements of foreign trade agents,
customers and stakeholders. Those functions can be summarized into the following three
categories:
Regulation functions
Port space ownership functions
Port operator functions
Regulation functions have the objective of establishing the framework and conditions to
properly plan and exploit port activities. There are different levels of regulation (international,
European, national, local, etc.) and different instruments according to the competences of the
organisms and agents involved (international agreements, European Directives, national
regulations, laws, etc.) These regulations cover all the management and operative levels of
port and their associated logistical activities.
Port space ownership functions include the most generic planning and management functions
as well as more specific competences such as the provision and maintenance of
superstructures and infrastructures, in particular those related to land and maritime access,
the promotion of the “info-structure” or the commercial aspects of the port.
Operator functions comprise the different services associated to port activities: handling and
storage of goods, technical and nautical services (pilotage, towage and mooring), vessels waste
management, etc.
According to the different roles of the public and private sector concerning the provision of
port services and infrastructures development, four management models can be described
taking into account the existing exploitation and management schemes at international level:
Public Service-Port model
Tool-Port model
Land-Lord model
Private Service-Port model
In the Public Service-Port model, the Port Authority (public figure) invests in all kind of
infrastructures and superstructures and provides all the port services abovementioned (goods
handling and storage, pilotage, towage, mooring, etc.).
Concerning the Tool-Port model, the Port Authority invests in all kind of infrastructures and

The Land-lord model is the most representative port management model in Europe, as the
Port Authority usually invests in maritime accessibility infrastructure and protection works
(dredging, docks, etc.), whereas the private operators invest in superstructure (handling
equipment, installations, etc.) and occasionally in port infrastructures (berths). In the case of
GREENCRANES, the Ports of Valencia and Livorno follow an advanced Land-Lord model. This
evolution of the abovementioned management model introduces the concept of Port Cluster
as a new definition of the different agents, port operators, stakeholders and groups of interest
which integrates the Port Community. In addition, the Port Cluster also includes the exporters
and importers located within the area of influence of the port. According to the advanced
Land-Lord Model, the Port Authority should develop the role of Port Cluster leader.
Finally, the Private Service-Port model, the Port Authority (private figure) invests in all kind of
infrastructures and superstructures as well as provides all the goods handling and technical
port services, in the same way that the Public Service-Port model. Table 1 provides a summary
of the abovementioned descriptions.

The Port Authority of Valencia (APV) is the public body responsible for managing the three
state owned ports located along 80 Km. of the eastern Mediterranean coast of Spain: Valencia,
Sagunto and Gandía.
The APV, like all other Port Authorities, reports to the Ministry of Development. Moreover, it is
governed by Royal Decree 2/2011 of 5th September relating to State Ports and the Merchant
Navy which stipulates:
The role to be played by the APV in fulfilling the functions assigned to it
Its organizational structure
In addition to this, the Strategic Plan of the APV states its future mission and strategic
objectives to be achieved by the year 2020. The 2020 Strategic Plan was drawn up with the
participation of the port community as a result of a comprehensive study of the strategic
scenario which revealed changes in the industry as a consequence of the global crisis. In this
new cycle, the key to strategic planning lies in increasing the focus on sales and financial
management, making infrastructure and services more competitive, and on innovation, under
the aegis of the regulatory, coordinating role of the Port Authority.

PORT OF LIVORNO DESCRIPTION
The port of Livorno overlooking the Upper Tyrrhenian Sea is located in the north-western
Tuscany Italian region, being mainly internal to the coast, well protected from the winds of the
south and west quadrant. The port is divided into the Old Port to the south, New Port and
Industrial Canal to the north and consists of four basins: Outer harbour and Port Mediceo that
characterize the Old Port, Dock S. Stefano and Porto Industrial identifying the Porto Nuovo in
the broadest sense.
The port of Livorno, classified as Big Regional (first level) in the Tyrrhenian Corridor, the Freight
Leaders Club, is a multi-purpose port, provided that the infrastructure and means to
accommodate any type of ship and handle every product category and all types of traffic (LO-
LO, RO-RO stock, liquid and dry bulk, new cars, cruises, ferries, forest products, machinery,
etc.). The infrastructure of the port allows connectivity to the main national road and rail
networks and areas airport of Pisa and Florence. Thank to its hinterland rather large, consisting
mainly of Tuscany, Emilia Romagna, Umbria and Marche, very active in terms of business and
industry, the Port of Livorno handling a large volume of goods.
The port can be accessed through two openings: the mouth between the North West end of
the dam and the dam of Meloria Marzocco, and the Mouth South between the end of the dam
Curvilinear South West and the end of the dam Vegliaia.
The first entrance (North) is oriented to the North West, has a width of about 300 m. and
communicates directly with the Holy Basin Stephen vast expanse of water protected to the
west and north by the dams of Meloria and Marzocco. The other entrance (South), through
which it does all the maritime traffic of the port of Livorno, is oriented to the West and has a
width of about 580 m.
To define, at least legally, the so-called port area, the first point of reference is the Ministerial
Decree 6th April 1994 fixing the territorial limits of the District of the Port of Livorno within
which are included the areas maritime state, harbour facilities and water spaces including the
front in the stretch from the mouth of Calambrone to the marina Nazario Sauro. On land the
coveted District can be identified up to the limit where it is possible to carry out activities or
services in port, of course, consistent with other uses of the land.
This district was later extended by Ministerial Decree of 16th January 2001, the public lands
sea, to the harbour front and the expanses of water in which operations including port on the
coast of the island of Capraia from Punta del Frate in Punta del Fanale.
Since its establishment in 1995, the Port Authority of Livorno has carried out the work of
rationalization and infrastructure of the port areas, providing operators, shipping companies
and port facilities with efficient and competitive tools. This rationalization consisted of the
allocation of space in private terminals specialized in different categories, thus ensuring
conformity of activities in the various zones and avoiding commingling between the different
types of traffic, especially with regard to passengers, in turn divided into cruises and ferries.

Activity 1: Mapping of Port Container Terminals Energy Profile 18
The Port Authority has the task of policy-making, planning, coordination, promotion and
control of port operations and other commercial and industrial activities in ports, with powers
of regulation and order, including the risks to the safety and hygiene of job. The Port Authority
provides:
The completion of the works in the harbour, including the works of excavation and
dredging
The preparation of the Port Master Plan, identifying the different operational areas
The preparation of the Port Operational Plan for addressing planning and development
The coordination of the activities carried out by public authorities in the port and the
control port services, entrusting them to private concession areas and docks for the
performance of terminal operations in various sectors
The promotion of the port in the world organizing and participating in promotional
activities when upgrading and vocational training of professionals and young people

PORT OF KOPER DESCRIPTION
The Port of Koper lies at the northern edge of the Adriatic Sea and it is the only Slovenian
international cargo port. The port was established in the year 1957. The port lies in the very
proximity of the city of Koper and has spread its activity over the years starting from only one
operational shore to cover now an area of approximately 300 ha.
The Port of Koper is a multi-purpose port where practically any kind of cargo is being handled
and stored – from general cargo, perishable goods and livestock to containers, cars, dry and
liquid bulks.
The management of the area of the Port of Koper has been given through a 35-year long
concession agreement by the Slovenian Ministry of Transport in year 2008 to Luka Koper,
which is operating all the terminals in the port.
The Koper port community is quite a vivid one, compounded besides Luka Koper by a great
number of private entrepreneurs such as forwarders, shipping agents, control houses, ship
suppliers etc. as well as state bodies (Maritime Administration of the Republic of Slovenia,
Customs Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, Police, and inspection offices).
It is estimated that about 5.000 people are directly or indirectly employed by the port
business, which means that the port sector is one of the most important economic activities in
the Coastal-Kart region.
The Port of Koper is a transit oriented port. About 30% of the handled cargo is covering
Slovenian orders, where all the rests are transits for Austria, Italy, and Hungary, Czech
Republic, Slovakia and other Central and Eastern European countries.
The port traffic amounted to 17.9 million tonnes of cargo in year 2012, where about 2/3 of
cargo are represented by imports, 1/3 by exports.
Although the Republic of Slovenia has invested intensively in the construction of the national
highway crossing, which has increased dramatically the quality of road infrastructure in
Slovenia, the port development opportunity is represented by future investments in the
railway since the modal split at the port of Koper is 60% for railway and 40% for road.
Luka Koper, the company operating all the terminals at the port is a shareholding company,
where 51% of the shares are owned directly be the Republic of Slovenia.
Luka Koper is a social and environmental responsible company, where monitoring and
managing environmental impacts has become part of regular activities. In the year 2000 the
Port of Koper was the first Mediterranean port to establish an environmental management
system according to the ISO 14001 standard applying to all port activities. The certificate was
upgraded in year 2010 with the company's certification in accordance to the EMAS scheme.

Taking into consideration the different roles of the public and private sector concerning the
provision of port services and infrastructures development, it can be reasonably stated that at
the Port of Koper the Private Service-Port model fits the most according to the
abovementioned definitions. There is not Port Authority. Tasks that are typical to such kind of
institutions have been distributed between the Maritime Administration of the Republic of
Slovenia and Luka Koper, which is a shareholding company that invests in all kind of
infrastructures and superstructures as well as provides all the goods handling and technical
port services inside the port area.

2.1 DESCRIPTION OF PORT CONTAINER TERMINALS OPERATIVE MODEL
All the containers present at a Port Container Terminal (PCT) can be classified into the three
following types of traffics: export, import or transhipment containers.
The export flow within a PCT starts when the container (full loaded or empty) enters into the
terminal by means of a truck or a train. This container is generally stored at the yard terminal
and after few hours or days is finally moved to the berth for its loading in a vessel.
The import flows follows the inverse process and comprises the phases of container unloading
and its horizontal transport to the yard where it is stored until its delivery to a land transport
operator (road or rail transport companies).
The transhipment is described as the process by which a container is unloaded from a vessel
and stored at the yard terminal until a new vessel arrives. Then the container is again
transported to the berth and loaded on the vessel.
In order to manage the described traffic flows within the terminal, PCTs develop different
types of operatives. They are usually classified into maritime, land and housekeeping
operatives. The maritime operative comprises all the movements oriented to provide services
to the berthed vessels whereas the land operative is dedicated to the movements and
operations related to the road and railway transport modes within the PCT (reception and
delivery of containers). Additionally, there is a specific internal operative usually so-called
“housekeeping” which consists of the intermediate re-location of containers within the yard
with the objective of preparing both the maritime and land operatives, thus allowing greater
efficiency when performing them.
In order to carry out the abovementioned operatives, different sub-systems are considered
within the port container terminal. These sub-systems work in an integrated way, developing
continuous cycles which are interrelated. Figure 4 explain the general operative scheme of
PCTs.

Port Container Terminals Energy Profile
Activity 1: Mapping of Port Container Terminals Energy Profile 22
Loading/Unloading Sub-System1: This sub-system is the one in charge of resolving the
maritime interface. The main infrastructure involved within this sub-system is the berth, where
loading and unloading operations take place. The machinery involved in the loading/unloading
sub-system is basically composed by Ship-to-Shore (STS) cranes. STS cranes are typically gantry
cranes mounted over rails and work with land-based electricity usually provided from the
national grid. The energy consumption of STS cranes is very influenced by the organisational
scheme of the container terminal. Although STS cranes do not produce direct GHG emissions,
the huge amount of electricity needed produce indirect emissions which could be reduced
applying eco-efficient organisational rules. According to the size of the vessels that berth in the
terminal, STS cranes present different typologies in terms of dimensions and capacity. In this
manner, STS cranes can be classified by size into (in increasing size order) Feeder, Panamax,
Post-Panamax and Superpost-Panamax. In the last years a bigger type of STS crane has been
developed, denominated Over Superpost-Panamax size.

Horizontal Transport Sub-System2: The horizontal transport subsystem is in charge of the
container transport between the berth and the yard as well as the internal circulation of
containers within different operatives (land or housekeeping operatives). The machinery
involved in this subsystem is usually the port yard tractor, although other solutions like the
Straddle Carrier cranes or the Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in automated and semi-
automated terminals can be considered. The type of machinery studied in GREENCRANES is
the yard tractor as it is the machine used in the participant PCTs as well as it is widely used in
the Mediterranean, European and American ports.

Moreover, this machine presents important opportunities for its conversion from diesel power
to LNG as the needed modifications are, contrary to other machines, affordable and feasible
from the economical and operational points of view.
Figure 6. Yard Tractor at the Horizontal Transport Sub-System

Delivery / Reception Sub-System: This sub-system develops the operations related to the
external flows associated to road and rail transport with the PCT. A key element in this sub-
system is the dimension and type of the PCT gates, as the number of entrances and exits as
well as the types of technologies deployed (such as RFID, OCR systems, single windows, etc.),
which influence directly in the efficiency of the involved processes. The delivery/reception sub-
system is closed connected with the yard sub-system as the operations and machinery usually
involve yard RTG cranes (for the delivery / reception of containers transported by road trucks)
and reach stackers (for the delivery / reception of containers transported by train).
Yard Sub-System3: This sub-system allows the coordination of the different rhythms of the
loading/unloading and reception/delivery operations. This coordination is possible due to the
existence of the stacking area, which plays the role of a buffer between the berth and the
terminal gates. The configuration of the stacking area (surface, width and height of the
container stacks, separation between lanes, etc.) depends on the type of storage equipment
used at the PCT. In the framework of GREENCRANES, the machinery involved in the study will
be the Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes and the Reach Stackers.
3 Also known in the bibliography as Storage Sub-System
Port Container Terminals Energy Profile
Activity 1: Mapping of Port Container Terminals Energy Profile 24
RTGs are gantry cranes equipped with tyres. This stacking equipment is usually combined with
yard tractors+platforms which transport containers from/to the berth to/from the stacking
area.
RTGs provide a good performance of the available surface at the terminal, being a typical
configuration of a stacking area of 3 to 5 containers of nominal height with a width of 6
containers per block. In regions with high surface restrictions like Asian ports, this
configuration can reach up to 7 stacked containers with 13+1 containers wide per block.
RTGs are yard equipment dedicated to the handling of containers doing vertical, horizontal and
translation movements. RTGs follow work assignment rules defined by the Terminal Operation
System (TOS) of the terminal. They are an important energy consumer centre in a PCT, which
can reach 28 fuel litres per hour, and the elevated number of these machines needed in the
yard so that performing efficient operations.

Reach Stackers are another type of yard stacking equipment widely used in small port
container terminals, although they are also present in big installations developing a wide
variety of operations (empty container stacking, loading/unloading of containers in trains,
etc.). This machine is composed by a mechanical arm and a spreader which fix the container by
its top side. The Reach Stacker is a very flexible machine and can be used in different sub-
systems like the horizontal transport and the delivery/reception sub-systems. They have a
relevant role in loading/unloading operations with trains and empty containers transport
within the terminal.

2.2 TYPES OF OPERATIVES INVOLVED IN THE EXPORT TRAFFIC
The following diagram (Figure 9) shows the generic model which describes the export flow of a
container since its entrance to the terminal until its loading in the vessel.
Figure 9. PCT Operative Associated to the Export Flow. Road Alternative
Source: Own Elaboration – Valenciaport Foundation
In the previous figure, a description of the internal flow that a container performs in a generic
export operation is described. It is important to distinguish the entrance at the terminal by
road truck or by railway. In the case of trucks, the process starts with the entrance to the
terminal through the PCT gates. In this stage the truck driver presents at the gate the transport
order to deliver the container. This information can be processed by different technologies
such as bar codes, RFID tags, etc. With this information the PCT Terminal Operating System
(TOS) provides the location (a position in a certain stacking area) within the terminal yard
where the truck must go to deliver the container. The container delivery is usually carried out
by means of a RTG (1), but it can also be done using a reach stacker (2), or even with an empty
container forklift (3), in the case that the export container is empty. In the three cases the
container is placed in a certain stacking area (4), being positioned in a container block ready to
be transported to the berth.

Activity 1: Mapping of Port Container Terminals Energy Profile 27
When the vessel is ready to receive the container, it is placed in a yard tractor+platform using
again a RTG, a reach stacker or a empty containers forklift, although the most common case is
the use of the RTG for this operation. Then, the container is transported by the yard tractor (5)
to the berth area where a STS crane lifts the container and loads it on the vessel (6).
It is important to remark that, although in this description the three equipments that perform
horizontal transport and storage (RTG, reach stacker and empties forklift) is presented in the
same way of importance, the use of RTGs in the delivery/reception and yard sub-systems is
much more relevant in terms of movements percentage.
The second case of export traffic, showed in Figure 10, refers to the entrance to the terminal
by means of railway. In this case the described process is very similar although there are some
particularities that must be described. The operative associated to the unloading of a train
usually involves RTGs (1) and reach stackers (2) which unload the containers from the wagons
and place them in intermediate stacking areas (3) dedicated exclusively to the railway. After
that, two possibilities concerning the maritime operative operations can be considered. In the
first one, if the maritime operative is ready, the container can be loaded in a yard tractor (4) by
a RTG or by a reach stacker, being transported directly to the berth area and loaded into the
vessel (5).

In the second case (Figure 11), the container may wait in the terminal until the vessel arrives to
the port, so the container placed in the intermediate stacking area (3) can be loaded in yard
tractors (6) by means of reach stackers (4) or RTGs (5) to the maritime stacking area (7) and
wait for the maritime operative. Once the vessel arrives to the terminal and it is ready to start
the loading/unloading operations, the container follows the same sequence as described
previously, being loaded again in a yard tractor (8) and transported to the berth area to be
loaded into the vessel (9).

The above descriptions also depict the sub-system which is involved in each stage of the export
process within the terminal and the operative associated in each phase. The land operative
refers to the entrance and delivery of the container in the stacking area (both for road trucks
and railway), whereas the housekeeping takes place at the yard and stacking areas (for
example, internal transport of container among container blocks or relocation within a
stacking area). The maritime operative involves operations related to horizontal transport and
the loading/unloading sub-systems at the berth side of the terminal.

2.3 TYPES OF OPERATIVES INVOLVED IN THE IMPORT TRAFFICS
In the case of import traffics, the flow diagram is very similar to the export case but the
movement of the containers is performed in an inverse way but using the same equipments,
although some particularities must be pointed out. Figure 12 depicts the import container flow
within the PCT.
Figure 12. PCT Operative Associated to the Import Flow. Road Alternative
Source: Own Elaboration – Valenciaport Foundation
The generic import flow starts with the maritime operative. The STS crane unloads the
container and places it on the yard tractor+platform (1), which transports it to the stacking
area, where a RTG (4) picks it up (another possibility is the unload with a reach stacker (3) or
even with an empty container forklift (2), in the case that the container is empty). Then, the
container is placed in the assigned stacking pile provided by the TOS. At the same time the
yard tractor returns to the berth area in order to start the same cycle with another container.
In the maritime operative, yard tractors are interrelated with STS cranes at the berth and RTGs
at the yard, being a critical aspect the continuous availability of yard tractors at the berth, in
order to keep working the STS cranes without idle times.

Once the container is stored in the stacking area (5), the land operative starts with the
unloading of the container by a RTG (most of the times), a reach stacker or an empty container
forklift. In this case, instead of loading the container in a yard tractor, it is delivered directly in
an empty road truck (6). Again, the most common situation is the load of the container by a
RTG in a road truck which enters in the terminal empty and waits in an assigned position,
although other combinations of loading and transport take place, especially in the case of
import containers which exit the terminal by train.
In this case, when the import container is going to exit the terminal loaded in a train, again two
possibilities can be considered. The most efficient operative consists on the direct loading of
the import container on the train (Figure 13). In this manner, operative and labour costs are
significantly reduced.
Figure 13. PCT Operative Associated to the Import Flow. Railway Alternative (I)
Source: Own Elaboration – Valenciaport Foundation
The direct load in a train starts with the transport of the container with a yard
tractor+platform (1) to the railway area. In this area, depending on the terminal, the container
can be loaded on the train (5) by means of a reach stacker (3) or a RTG (4). In the case that the
container is empty, it can be also loaded using an empty container forklift (2).

The second possibility, showed in Figure 14, involves an intermediate stage where the
container is stored in the railway stacking area, in the same manner as in the export flow.

In this case when de container is loaded on the yard tractor+platform (1), it is transported to
the railway stacking area where a reach stacker (2) or a RTG (3) place the container in an
assigned container block (4). Then, when the train arrives at the PCT and the land operative is
ready to start, the container is unloaded from the block by means of reach stackers (5) or RTGs
(6) and loaded on the assigned wagon of the train (7) for its import.

2.4 TYPES OF OPERATIVES INVOLVED IN TRANSHIPMENT TRAFFICS
Container transhipment is a very common traffic at port container terminals and in some PCTs
it represents the main flow of containers, especially in those dedicated terminals where the
PCT operator and the shipping company belong to the same corporate group (i.e. APM
Terminals and Maersk-Sealand, MSC, etc.), as these companies tend to use their terminals as
transhipment hubs of their main shipping services.
Figure 15 describes the transhipment traffic flow. In transhipment, the container which arrives
at the terminal by vessel is unloaded by the STS cranes and placed in a yard tractor+platform
(1). The yard tractor transports the container to the transhipment stacking area (5), where it is
placed in an assigned position by means of a RTG (4), a reach stacker (3) or an empty container
forklift (2). The container remains stored in the transhipment stacking area until another vessel
comes and the maritime operative is again ready. At this moment, the cycle starts again with
the unloading of the container using a RTG, reach stacker or empty container forklift, placed in
a yard tractor (6) and transported to the berth side in order to load it on another vessel (7).

As it has been remarked before, the operations using RTGs are the most common at PCTs,
being the operatives with reach stackers and empty container forklifts limited to a minor
percentage of movements.

2.5 SPECIAL OPERATIVES
Apart from the described typology of operations in the export, import and transhipment
traffics at PCTs, other special operatives can take place depending on the model of PCT. In this
section specific operatives like shuttle, land transhipment and housekeeping are described.
2.5.1 Shuttle between PCTs
The Shuttle operative consists of the transport of containers between port container terminals
in the same port in order to allow a single call of a vessel when it has to load containers from
two or more different PCTs, thus reducing operative and labour costs. The Shuttle operative
can be considered as a particularity of the maritime transhipment operative. The main
difference in this case is that the entrance and exit of the container is carried out from
different terminals. Figure 16 depicts the shuttle operative between PCTs.
Figure 16. PCT Operative Associated to Shuttle between Port Container Terminals
Source: Own Elaboration – Valenciaport Foundation
The transport of containers between terminals is usually carried out from yard to yard, being
the RTGs and the reach stackers the machinery used to load the shuttle containers on yard
tractors+platforms.
In the case of the Port of Valencia, the shuttle is considered as a profitable operative for the
case of 90 containers or less. In case that this number is higher, the vessel usually berths in
both terminals (MSC and Noatum Container Terminal Valencia).
This operative can also be considered as a special case of housekeeping, due to the fact that
containers are transported and relocated among stacking areas, but from different port
container terminals.

2.5.2 Land Transhipment
Within the transhipment traffic, there is a specific process which consists of the exchange of
containers between both land and railway transport within the port container terminal. This
type of operative is common in Northern European ports. In the Land Transhipment only the
delivery / reception, yard storage and horizontal transport sub-systems are involved. Figure 17
shows the operative associated to land transhipment.
Figure 17. PCT Operative Associated to Land Transhipment
Source: Own Elaboration – Valenciaport Foundation
When the container arrives in a truck and goes out the terminal by train, the container is
usually unloaded by a reach stacker or an empty container forklift (in case it is an empty
container). Then the container is loaded in the assigned location on the train. It is also possible
to use a RTG in the same manner as it has been described in previous sections. In the case that
the container arrives by railway and goes out the terminal by truck, the process in carried out
in an inverse way.

2.5.3 Housekeeping Operative
The housekeeping operative is common in all port container terminals and it is associated to
each type of traffic (export, import and transhipment). The housekeeping supports the land
and mainly maritime operatives, allowing more efficient processes with less time-consuming.
The housekeeping consists of the re-location of containers in the export, import and
transhipment stacking areas in order to prepare the operations for the loading and unloading
of containers into the vessels, trucks and trains. It is normally developed at nights, when the
work intensity is lower in the delivery and reception of containers.
The housekeeping can be performed in any place of the terminal, being involved the storage
and interconnection sub-systems. In this manner, a cycle between RTGs, reach stackers and
yard platforms is defined in order to transport containers from some container blocks to
others.
In general, the housekeeping is developed in order to facilitate the maritime operative,
although it is also possible to perform housekeeping for the land operative.

2.6 THE TERMINAL OPERATING SYSTEM (TOS)
Due to the huge amount of information exchanged within the PCTs, the deployment of
information and communication technologies is mandatory in order to assure the efficiency
and reliability of the operations involved in the container terminal as well as those exchanges
of information with external agents (shipping companies, port authorities, freight forwarders,
shipping agencies, etc.).
At internal level, the key needed information is associated to the containers themselves
(identification, position and transport mode) and the machinery (operative, position, work
orders, etc.) as well.
In order to manage the abovementioned exchange of data, port container terminals have
implemented the so-called Terminal Operating Systems (TOS). TOS are software tools
structured in different modules of information management and control connected to a
general data base.
In general, four main management modules can be considered in a TOS:
Planning and Operations Control Module (land and maritime)
Management Module, which supports the analysis of productivity, costs control and
statistical analysis
Administration Module which is in charge of the invoicing and analytical accounting
Information and Communication Module, responsible for the information exchange of the
terminal with external agents

Port Container Terminals Energy Profile
Activity 1: Mapping of Port Container Terminals Energy Profile 37
Concerning the typology of Terminal Operating Systems, different solutions are provided in the
market, being the terminals able to choose among several options according to their specific
needs and business strategies. Although all the commercial solutions allow some degree of
customization, it is also possible to develop and implement an adapted a tailor-made solution.
The implementation of a TOS in the terminal has the following objectives:
Planning and controlling all movements of containers within the terminal
Increase the efficiency of the yard machinery and equipments
Reduce the waiting and idle times at the container terminal gates
Optimize the available surface of the terminal
Optimize the vessel planning
Improve the precision of the available data
Reduce the operation costs of the terminal
Increase the safety and security of the installation
Although the TOS is an internal management system which facilitates communication with
terminal equipments and machinery, other modules dedicated to the electronic transference
of data with external agents by means of the EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) system are also
integrated.

2.6.1 Noatum Container Terminal Valencia TOS
Noatum Container Terminal Valencia (NCTV) integrates a commercial TOS system named
CATOS (Computer Automated Terminal Operation System). CATOS is structured into three
modules: Planning, Operation and Management Systems.
Figure 21. General Structure of CATOS TOS
Source: Total Soft Bank (www.tsb.co.kr)
CATOS Planning System Module
In order to improve terminal productivity, CATOS deploys four tools oriented to different
planning areas: Berth Planning, Yard Planning, Ship Planning and Rail Planning.
Berth Planning gives support to the Ship-to-Shore sub-system planning, thus organizing the
required human and technical means for each vessel call. In the case of NCTV, berth planning
starts with the reception of the vessel call notifications sent by the Port Authority. With this
information NCTV elaborates a berth call planning, thus assigning berthing slots and number of
cranes per vessel, being this plan available 72h before the so-called ETA (Estimated Time of
Arrival).
Regarding Yard Planning, this module manages the optimization of the storage capacity of the
yard, assigning optimum positions to each container within stacking areas and organizing the
needed equipment to manage the involved containers. The process to assign a container
position within the stacking area is following described:
In a first stage, the Yard Planning module assigns the stacking slots to different types of
traffic (import, export and transhipment).
Port Container Terminals Energy Profile
Activity 1: Mapping of Port Container Terminals Energy Profile 39
The second phase consists of assigning the exact position of the container within the
stacking block. The system uses general stacking rules like stacking height, weight of the
container, equipment availability, priority of loading/unloading etc.
It may happen that the system does not directly assign a definitive location; in that case the
container is placed in a buffer area where it remains until the system decides the exact
position. Then, the container is transported to the assigned position by means of
housekeeping operations.
Ship Planning is another key planning module which is in charge of the vessel call preparation.
This module develops the following processes:
When the shipping company sends the loading/unloading plan and the Bay-Plan, this
information is received by the terminal in form of an archive called BAPLIE which is
transmitted by means of the EDI system.
In the same manner, the COPRAR EDI archive is transmitted through the port community
system of Valenciaport (valenciaportpcs.net). COPRAR contains the list of containers which
will be loaded / unloaded at the vessel call and it is sent by the shipping agent which
represents the shipping company.
With the information contained in the BAPLIE and COPRAR archives, the Ship Planning
module calculates an automated sequence of the loading / unloading operations using
variables and parameters like the weight of the containers, the vessel stability and the
number and availability of STS cranes, among others.

CATOS Operation System
This TOS module is responsible for monitoring and controlling all the operations related to the
containers handling at the port container terminal. CATOS Operation System manages the
different operatives described in Section 2 of the present document (maritime, land,
housekeeping, etc.)
The maritime operative is controlled by means of the Berth Monitoring System, a support tool
that allows the “bay planner” operator to monitor different aspects of the berth sub-system
operations (crane management, priority assignment, loading and unloading operations, etc).
Yard operations are also controlled by the CATOS Operation System by means of the Terminal
Monitoring System support tool. This software monitors all the yard operations in real time,
providing information related to all yard equipment (location, work order, next movement,
etc.). In this manner, external road trucks use a RFID tag to receive by the TOS the location of
the stacking area where they must deliver or receive a certain container.
The module also allows the manual configuration of the work sequence for a certain machine,
thus introducing work orders in real time over the pre-selected sequence. With this method it
is possible to restrict movements or assign new orders in function of the work load of the
moment.

CATOS Management System
The CATOS Management System is responsible for the business and accounting functions of
the terminal (invoicing, analytical accounting, statistics, etc.).

2.6.2 Livorno Darsena Toscana Container Terminal TOS
The TDT operating system, based on Oracle’s SPARCS server architecture, is used for activity
planning (vessel, yard, rail and berth planning) and for the management of yard vehicles and
equipments, in terms of their assignment to work shift pools or maintenance, yard dispatching
and wireless real time monitoring.

The documental workflow is managed by a software component called J.T.I.S., while general
operations real time monitoring is in charge of the T.O.P. system.
J.T.I.S. allows input, editing and retrieving of the following information:
- Containers check-in
- Technical inspections
- Containers Loading / Unloading lists
- Customs controls and auxiliary operations
- Customs Bill data input
- Containers actual loading / unloading confirmation

2.6.3 Koper Container Terminal TOS
The Luka Koper Container Terminal has implemented the terminal operation system Tideworks
in year 2012. This system has replaced the system called Cosmos that was in use since year
2004.
The peculiarity of the TOS of Container Terminal in Koper is the interrelation with the system
TinO, which is a tailor made application used on all the terminals at the Port of Koper which
has been acknowledged by the Custom Administration of Slovenia as the official system that
records the status of cargo at the Port of Koper.
The solution provided by Tideworks offers various modules. Luka Koper has purchased three
modules: Spinnaker (Planning Management System), Mainsail Vanguard (Marine Terminal
Operating System), and Traffic Control (Equipment Dispatch).
Spinnaker (Planning Management System)
Spinnaker Planning Management System fully-integrates vessel, yard and rail planning tools in
one workspace. The TOS sub-module berth planning is not used in Koper for actual planning,
since berth planning is done by the Department of coordination of operations with the support
of TinO, so the Container Terminal is excluded from this phase. Since TOS is interrelated with
TinO, TOS gives visibility to data regarding berthing to planners on the Container Terminal.
Shipping agents are requested to announce vessel arrival 7 days prior the arrival and then
confirm the arrival 48 hours and 24 hours before the arrival through TinO.
Planning of gangs is being done also through TinO.
Vessel Planning enables to seamlessly send and receive pre-stow and stow plans, view and
quickly manipulate real-time, colour-coded container information into electronically
dispatched work orders. Shipping agents send work orders through TinO (so called
disposition), but they have to send BAPLIE to the terminal staff by e-mail that imports data to
the TOS to enable planning of vessel loading/unloading operations.
The vessel window is a weekly schedule containing lists of vessels to be loaded / unloaded in a
certain day of a week, which assigns a certain work order and priority.
Regarding Yard Planning this module automates container location assignments to maximize
space utilization and the effectiveness of vessel and gate operations, manages container
placement exceptions and corrects container locations.
The containers are planned already before their arrival. Reservations are made considering the
container’s destination, weight, size and vessel (in case of export). When the container actually
arrives (independently from the direction) the TOS checks the data to find the target position.
In case of mismatch, human intervention is needed to assign the suitable position.
Port Container Terminals Energy Profile
Activity 1: Mapping of Port Container Terminals Energy Profile 44
Rail Planning is used to plan inbound and outbound trains. Planning of train arrivals and
departures as well as track assignment is being done for the whole port by the department for
internal railway transports through TinO.
Similarly to the vessel window, also a rail window has been established to set on a weekly basis
a list of work for a certain day of the week.
Mainsail Vanguard (Marine Terminal Operating System)
The Marine Terminal Operating System supports complete inventory management of
containers as well as provides the customers access to key terminal data on demand using a
web interface, Mainsail Online.
Traffic Control (Equipment Dispatch)
The traffic control enables to manage rail, gate and yard movements. It enables to view and
assign equipment.
This module allows dispatching work instructions to operators and displaying container move
instructions. The instructions are delivered to handheld computers with touch screen
functionality without the need of paper instructions.

3 DEFINITION OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION MAPS AT PCTS
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The concept of “Energy Consumption Map” has been introduced in GREENCRANES with the
aim of answering to a capital question that many times is not possible to clarify within the
context of port container terminals, that is, where is the energy being consumed at the PCT?
The reality shows that there are important constraints which introduce difficulties in the
knowledge and management of energy variables involved in the operational models of PCTs.
Traditionally, energy efficiency has not been a critical factor on the port industry due to the
relative low weight of the energy cost over the total expenditures of PCTs. However, in recent
years this perception is changing due to different factors like the increase in energy prices, the
adoption of strong environmental regulations which limit the GHG emission levels and the
society awareness concerning sustainability and environmental impact of industrial activities.
At the same time, the technological evolution nowadays allows the transition from a carbon-
based economy model (based mainly on fossil fuels) to a low-carbon productive model (based
on renewable energy sources and cleaner fuels like LNG, bio-fuels or even hydrogen).
In order to facilitate this transition at the port industry, several actions are nowadays under
discussion like, for instance, the adoption of LNG as fuel in vessels and port machinery,
electrification of traditionally fuel-based activities and on-site energy generation taking
advantage of renewable energies (wind, solar, etc.). GREENCRANES aims to foster this
progressive evolution by demonstrating that the implementation of eco-efficient alternatives
based on low-carbon emissions is possible from the economic, environmental and social point
of view.
The following sections provide key information related to the real energy consumption of
three strategic container terminals of the Mediterranean area (Valencia, Livorno and Koper).
The selected installations are reference facilities for the European port sector and the results
obtained can be easily extrapolated to other PCTs in Europe.
In order to obtain comparable and harmonized results, the study covers the three terminals
along the same time period, the years 2011 and 2012 (considering the last available
information at the elaboration of this report). The analysis has been focused on the main
energy sources used at the participant port container terminals: electricity and fuel involved in
PCTs processes and services. The scope of the study has been defined taking into account the
key activities of port container terminals and the operational model described in Section 2.
The analysis of energy consumption (both electrical and fuel) has been disaggregated into
different types of energy consumer centres involving port machinery, offices and other
auxiliary services following a common methodology in the three PCTs.

3.2 NOATUM CONTAINER TERMINAL VALENCIA
3.2.1 Description of the Installation
Noatum Container Terminal Valencia (NCTV) is the main terminal at Valenciaport, the leading
Spanish port in the Mediterranean Sea especially with regards to container traffic. The world's
biggest container shipping lines call at the terminal and there are important connections via
feeder services. It is the ideal maritime gateway for the Iberian Peninsula and its connections
to the centre of Spain make it the natural port for Madrid. Valenciaport's direct area of
influence encompasses a radius of 350 Km., which generates 55% of Spain's GDP and includes
half the entire working population of the country. The proximity of the Suez-Gibraltar axis,
route of the main deep sea shipping lines is also significant.
Noatum Container Terminal Valencia provides a berthing line of 1.780 m. The total yard area
for container storage comprises 93 ha and 7 ha dedicated to container services. Moreover, the
terminal is equipped with 1.020 reefer containers plugs. The terminal equipment is composed
by 19 Ship-to-Shore cranes and 56 Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes for yard container
handling. Moreover, the terminal provides 4 reach stackers, 23 trucks and 66 yard tractors.
Noatum Container Terminal has recently implemented an Automated Gate System with 8
entries and 4 exit gates equipped with optical character recognition (OCR) in order to avoid
trucks queues, thus gaining a significant competitive advantage concerning the level of services
within the land-sea interface.

In this section a description of the electrical energy consumption of the terminal is presented.
For the years 2011 and 2012, the global electrical consumption of NCTV is distributed as the
next table shows:

Table 11 and Figures 32 and 33 show the main electrical consumption of NCTV considering the
period 2011-2012. Electrical consumption is divided into four major categories: STS cranes,
terminal lightning, offices and reefer containers.
The provided data shows that reefer containers and STS cranes are the two main contributors
to the global terminal electrical consumption. Both categories represent 82% of the total
electrical consumption of the terminal. It is important to remark that, whereas STS cranes
receive electrical energy at high voltage, reefer containers work with low voltage, in the same
way as yard lightning and offices. Both categories are also strongly influenced by the level of
traffic on a monthly basis. The electrical consumption associated is 19.203.799 and 19.401.856
kWh for 2011 and 2012 respectively.

3.2.3.2 Fuel Consumption
This section describes a significant contribution of the global energy consumption of the
container terminal, due to the high amount of fuel needed to perform yard operations. The
variety of machinery involved as well as the work intensity of a PCT (24/360) implies the
continuous supply of fuel (mostly diesel petrol) in order keep the terminal running. Fuel
consumption is also a major contribution to direct GHG emissions, and contributes to increase
the global carbon footprint of the terminal. The following tables and figures provide detailed
information about fuel consumption volumes and their relationship with the operational
parameters of the terminal.
Table 12 provides the general figures of fuel consumption according to the different typology
of yard equipment: RTGs, yard tractors, reach stackers and empty container forklifts. The
analysis comprises the years 2011 and 20124. This table shows that the total amount of fuel
consumption directly associated to yard operations reached 6.103.445 litres in 2011 and
6.120.305 litres in 20124. It is appreciated a light increase of fuel consumption in 20124 taking
into account that the available data does not cover the whole year.

In 2011, 63% of the total fuel consumption was associated to the operation of RTGs, whereas
33% was due to the work of yard tractors. These two types of machines represent around 96%
of the total fuel consumption of the terminal, being the remaining 4% divided between reach
stackers (3%) and empty container forklifts (1%). The fuel consumption distribution in 20124 is
quite similar to the case of 2011, as Figure 36 shows. In this case the same percentage
distribution is appreciated with the available data corresponding to the period January-
October 2012.

Figure 37 shows the distribution of fuel consumption of each typology of yard equipment in
2011 and 20124. In the same manner as showed in Figures 35 and 36, it can be appreciated to
great contribution to the total fuel consumption of RTGs and yard tractors in NCTV.
Each typology of machines is composed by different families, thus introducing a bias in the
general analysis (different energy performance, electronic and engine systems, etc.). In the
case of NCTV, three RTG families can be considered where each of one presents two sub-types
of machines. The Paceco family is composed by two types of machines, one equipped with
Volvo engines and the other equipped with Scania engines. The second family corresponds to
the manufacturer Fantuzzi, being divided into other two sub-types of RTG: Fantuzzi equipped
with General Electric and Siemens electronic systems respectively. Finally, the third and
newest family comprises the Konecranes family, which is divided into the Konecranes FSS2
model and the Konecranes equipped with variable speed system. Both systems are energy
efficiency technologies which produce a significant reduction in fuel consumption.
Table 13. NCTV RTG Fuel Consumption by Type of Machine
Source: Noatum / Own Elaboration
Table 13 shows the fuel consumption expressed in litres for each family and sub-type of
machine. It can be appreciated that the Fantuzzi family is the greatest energy consumer in
comparison with the Paceco and Konecranes families. It is obvious that a major use of these
machines instead of the other two families will produce a higher consumption of the Fantuzzi
cranes. This argument is valid when comparing Fantuzzi vs Paceco (976.778 movements in
2011 from Fantuzzi against 48.483 movements from Paceco), as the last family (Paceco) is less
used in yard operations due to its operational obsolescence. The gantry dimensions of the
Paceco machines do not allow a stacking operation higher than 4 containers in a block, being a
physical limit which has been surpassed by the Fantuzzi and Konecranes family in the terminal.

When comparing the Fantuzzi vs the Konecranes family, this operational obsolescence does
not take place as both families offer similar operational features. Moreover, the number of
movements carried out by each family is also similar as it is showed in Table 14: 976.778
movements in 2011 carried out by Fantuzzi against 875.591 movements performed by
Konecranes in 2011 as well. In this manner, It is remarkable the high energy efficiency of the
Konecranes family.

Figure 38 shows the relationship between consumption (litres) and operation (number of
movements) of the different RTG families. It can be appreciated a strong difference between
the Fantuzzi and Konecranes families. Whereas the Fantuzzi family (both sub-types included)
show a consumption rate of 2,98 litres/movement (Fantuzzi GE) and 2,55 litres/movement
(Fantuzzi Siemens) respectively, the Konecranes family presents a lower consumption rate,
being 1,49 litres/movement (Konecranes FSS2) and 1,17 litres/movement (Konecranes
Variable Speed) respectively. More values for this indicator are presented in Table 15.

When considering Yard Tractors, two main families are used at the terminal. The first family is
composed by Terberg manufacturer Yard Tractors equipped with different types of engines
(sub-type Volvo 720-750 and sub-type Cummins). The second family of tractors are road trucks
composed by Renault and Iveco trucks. These machines are ordinary road trucks which are
used at the terminal in peak work hours or when Terberg Yard Tractors are not available. The
figures of fuel consumption of both families are showed in Table 16 and Figure 39.

Terberg family represents a fuel consumption of 1.880.198 litres, being the Volvo sub-type the
most used machine. This wide difference over the rest of Yard Tractors and road trucks can be
clearly appreciated in Figure 39, being this typology of machines the main yard equipment
dedicated to horizontal transport at the terminal.

Reach Stackers are another category of machines although as it was shown in Table 12 and
Figures 35, 36 and 37, they do not contribute to the global amount of fuel energy consumption
in the same way as RTGs and Yard Tractors. In fact only 3% and 4% of the total amount of fuel
consumption is due to these machines in 2011 and 20124 respectively. There are three types of
Reach Stackers at NCTV, providing a total consumption of 193.547 litres in 2011 and 225.976
litres in 20124. A light increase of fuel consumption between these years can be appreciated.
This can be explained by the growth of traffics at the terminal or due to an increase of
housekeeping and railway operations.

Finally, empty container forklifts develop a discrete role in the total distribution of fuel
consumption, as these machines are usually used for transporting empty containers, being
necessary less power to handle them. In the case of NCTV, two types of empty container
forklifts are used, the Luna TH4 and the Ferrari CVS. The total fuel consumption of both types
reached 62.402 litres and 68.094 litres in 2011 and 20124 respectively. In the same manner as
previous machines, a light increase in 20124 is appreciated. In this case, the increase could be
explained by the more intense traffic of empty containers at the terminal.

handling) and the energy involved, the provided map will be used in further stages of the
project. The map classifies the movements by container block into three categories using a
colour code with the aim of identifying the degree of energy intensity performed in each area
of the installation.
In the same manner, Figure 43 provides an “Energy Consumption Map” of the NCTV yard
taking as a reference the movements performed by the RTG fleet of the terminal. As it is not
possible to know exactly which RTG has carried out each one of the movements registered, a
weighted-mean has been defined to obtain a generic fuel consumption for a “virtual” RTG. The
different weights applied in the formula are the percentage of movements of each family of
RTGs present at NCTV. In this manner, the weighted-mean of the consumption results is 2,39
litres/movement.
Using this mixed fuel consumption the energy map also considers the percentage of
movements carried out by each family of RTG in order to reflect that the Fantuzzi and
Konecranes families perform much more movements than the Paceco machines.
The result of this study provides an energy consumption distribution characterized by a
medium-high energy consumption in the central container blocks of the terminal as well as
those located near the berth.
Under these assumptions, container blocks no. 2C, 3ADE, 4AE, 5D, 6DE, 7A, 8C, 10CDE,
11BCDE, 13D and 14ACD are those with greater consumption, over 700.000 kWh per block.
Container blocks no. 1ABCE, 2BDEF, 3BCF, 4BCDF, 5ABCE, 6ACF, 7BCDE, 8AE, 9ADE, 10AB, 11A,
12ACD, 13AC and 15A present a medium consumption, 500.000-700.000 kWh per block.
Finally, container blocks no. 1DF, 2A, 5F, 6B, 7F, 8BF, 9BCF, 10F, 12BE, 13BE, 14E and 15BCDF
present the lowest energy consumption, less than 500.000 kWh.
Container blocks no. 22AB correspond to railway storage containers. Blocks 23AB and 24AB
correspond to empty containers storage. In these areas RTGs are not used for handling
operations.

3.3 LIVORNO DARSENA TOSCANA
3.3.1 Description of the Installation
Terminal Darsena Toscana is the main maritime container terminal of the Port of Livorno. In
the container terminal facility, cargo containers are transferred between different transport
systems using different handling machines. In export/import operations containers are moved
between trains or trucks and ships. Different kinds of container lifting systems are used to
move containers from one transport system to another. The container yard/storage system
has a surface of 386.000 m2. It is a temporary deposit of containers, thus acting as a “buffer”
which compensates the different flows and capacity of the maritime and the land side.

In order to allow a proper container handling operation flow, the Terminal Darsena Toscana is
equipped with different kind of cranes and vehicles as shown in the following picture.

The general system of the Port Container Terminal (PCT) can be divided into four different sub-
systems:
1. Loading/Unloading Sub-System
2. Yard/Storage Sub-System
3. Deliver/Reception Sub-System
4. Horizontal Transport Sub-System
Each one of these subsystems presents peculiar specifications, in terms of processes and
equipments involved, and interact heavily with the others.
The following paragraphs are intended to briefly describe the work flow of each subsystem,
not only for descriptive purposes but also for defining the operational framework in which
each subsystem, and thus the PCT in its entirety, is playing the role of huge energy consumer,
both in terms of electricity and fuel.

Loading/Unloading Subsystem
It is also named “berthing line” and is in charge of linking the maritime and the land interface.
The main infrastructures involved are the 9 ship-to-shore cranes (STS) that are the second
main responsible of electric energy consumption of the terminal. The Loading/Unloading
subsystem is linked with the Yard/Storage subsystem thorough the Horizontal Transport
subsystem. These three interfaces involve the main PCT equipment and are important energy
consumption centres as their concentrate the key processes of the PCT.

Yard/Storage Subsystem
It is the largest subsystem in terms of physical surface and its main function is to establish a
temporary deposit of containers, thus acting as a “buffer” which compensates the different
flows and capacity of the maritime and the land side flows: ships with high volumes of
containers (thousands) and low number of calls in comparison with the high frequency of
trucks and low capacity of loading/unloading per transport unit (one or two).
The equipment involved in this subsystem are Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes that has a
diesel energy generator on board. In this subsystem there is also the “terminal area reefer”,
that is the temporary deposit for reefer container which requires electric energy. The terminal
area reefer has 636 electric plugs and it is the main responsible of electrical energy
consumption in the terminal.

Horizontal Transport Subsystem
This subsystem carries out the internal transport of containers among the different areas
within the PCT (berths, yard, inspection areas, etc.) connecting the rest of subsystems. The
equipment involved in these operations is mostly composed by yard tractors and reach
stackers, both being a high energy consumption machines in terms of diesel fuel.

Activity 1: Mapping of Port Container Terminals Energy Profile 70
Deliver/Reception Subsystem
It is the phase where containers are transferred from the container terminal to external means
of transport (truck and rail). This subsystem should consider both the accesses to the terminal
and the transhipment operations in a separate way. Terminal accesses are characterized by
the use of different gates for trucks and trains, involving different degrees of technologies (ID
controls, OCR systems, RFID tags, etc.). Transhipment operations depend on the type and
number of equipment present at the terminal, management procedures, associated
information, etc. Depending on road or railway transhipment different activities and
equipment will be involved (i.e., some TPCs use reach stackers for loading/unloading trains,
while others use RTGs).

Table 23 and Figure 57 show the main electrical consumption of TDT considering the period
January 2011 – September 2012. Electrical consumption is divided into four major categories:
STS cranes, terminal lightning, offices and reefer containers.
The provided data shows that reefer containers and STS cranes are the two main contributors
to the global terminal electrical consumption. Both categories represent 77% of the total
electrical consumption of the terminal. It is important to remark that, whereas STS cranes
receive electrical energy at high voltage, reefer containers work with low voltage, in the same
way as yard lightning and offices. Both categories are also strongly influenced by the level of
traffic on a monthly basis. The electrical consumption associated is 9.151.837 and 6.238.237

3.3.3.2 Fuel Consumption
This section describes a significant contribution of the global energy consumption of TDT
container terminal, due to the high amount of fuel needed to perform yard operations. The
variety of machinery involved as well as the work intensity of a PCT (24/360) implies the
continuous supply of fuel (mostly diesel petrol) in order keep the terminal running. Fuel
consumption is also a major contribution to direct GHG emissions, and contributes to increase
the global carbon footprint of the terminal. The following tables and figures provide detailed
information about fuel consumption volumes and their relationship with the operational
parameters of the terminal.
Table 24 provides the general figures of fuel consumption according to the different typology
of yard equipment: RTGs, yard tractors, reach stackers and forklifts. The analysis comprises the
years 2011 and 20125, being September the last available data in the last year. Table 24 shows
that the total amount of fuel consumption directly associated to yard operations reached
1.348.571 litres in 2011 and 866.259 litres until September 20125.

3.4 PORT OF KOPER
3.4.1 Description of the Installation
The Container Terminal at the Port of Koper was opened to traffics in the year 1979, but has
witnessed several investments since then. The Terminal disposes today a 596 m long quayside
with 3 berths. The maximum allowed draught is 11,4 m. The total terminal area comprises
270.000 m2, 180.000 of which represent the stacking area. The terminal is divided into two
functional areas: a comprehensive terminal area with the gate and a dislocated area in the
port a container depot for empty containers. The terminal is directly connected to the railway
network. On the right hand side of the terminal there are 5 railway tracks (2 per 671 m, 1 per
647 m and 2 per 270 m). The total estimated annual capacity of the terminal is 790.000 TEUs.
The terminal equipment is composed by 8 Ship-to-Shore cranes and 18 Rubber Tyred Gantry
(RTG) cranes for yard container handling. Moreover, the terminal provides 11 Reach Stackers,
7 Empty Container Forklifts, 3 Forklifts, 3 RoRo Trucks, 10 Road Trucks and 46 Yard Trucks. The
terminal is also equipped with 344 reefer containers plugs.
In the last five years the terminal has increased its traffic from 305.648 TEUS (year 2007) to
589.314 TEUS (year 2011) and expects a throughput of 575.000 TEUS in year 20126. The
terminal is connected by two regular direct weekly lines to the Far East, but it is also well
connected to the Mediterranean area through feeder and intra-med services. The most
important terminal customers are Maersk Line, CMA CGM, HMM, Hanjin Shipping Line, Zim,
Evergreen, UASC, Yang Ming Marine and Hapag Lloyd. Regular block train connections are
established with the main Central and Eastern European trade centres such as Ljubljana,
Munich, Budapest, Zilina, Bratislava, Belgrade, Zagreb, Graz, Villach, Vienna, Sofia, Arad and
Padua.

The container terminal activities are conducted on multiple locations in the Port of Koper. The
main activities of container terminal are powered by two substations, both of which have
individual measuring points:
17 TP Container Terminal (SN)
18 TP Container Terminal 1 (SN)
The substation 17 TP Container Terminal powers 4 old Ship to Shore Cranes - STS (51, 52, 53
and 54) and cathodic protection of piles.
The substation 18 TP Container Terminal powers 4 new Ship to Shore Cranes - STS (55, 56, 57
and 58) and other company activities, including the office building. The building also houses
the company SLOREST. SLOREST electrical energy use is measured using the measuring point:
77 SLOREST – substation CT
The energy consumption of measuring point 77 is deducted from the container terminal's total
energy use.
The measuring point 18 is also used for measuring the energy consumption of FRIGO
containers. The container terminal is charged for this energy consumption, and the terminal in
turn charges container's owners for these services.

Container servicing is also a part of container terminal activities. Energy use for this activity
wasn't measured and wasn't charged to the container terminal.
Table 35 and Figure 64 show the main electrical consumption of the PCT considering the year
2011. Electrical consumption is divided into six categories: STS cranes, reefer containers, yard
terminal lightning, offices, cathodic protection and other.
The provided data shows that STS cranes, reefer containers and yard lightning are the three
main contributors to the global terminal electrical consumption. All three categories represent
89% of the total electrical consumption of the terminal.

3.4.3.2 Fuel Consumption
This section describes a significant contribution of the global energy consumption of the
container terminal, due to the high amount of fuel needed to perform yard operations. The
general system of fuel consumption of the Port Container Terminal (PCT) can be divided into
three different sub-systems:
Yard/Storage Subsystem
o RTG-s
o Reach Stackers
o Forklifts
o Empty Container Forklifts
Horizontal transport Subsystem
o Yard Tractors
o Road Tractors
o Ro-Ro Tractors
Other, Cars, Frigo Genset
Figures 68, 69, 70 and 71 show the equipment involved in Yard/ Storage Subsystem: RTG,
Reach Stacker, Forklift Kalmar and Empty Container Forklift.

The PCT consumed 2.349.483 litres (22.835.669 kWh) of fuel in 2011. The graph below shows
the distribution of fuel consumer groups in PCT. The fuel in PCT is used for Horizontal transport
Subsystem, Yard/Storage Subsystem and Other. The largest share of fuel is used for the
operation of the Yard/Storage Subsystem (60,5%), it's followed by the Horizontal transport
Subsystem (37,4%). The consumption of fuel in 2012 for Yard/Storage Subsystem increased by
4% and for other fuel consumers by 16%, while it was reduced for Horizontal transport
Subsystem by 3%, which is a direct result of eliminating road tractors. All road tractors will be
eliminated in 2013.

The physical range of production has to be considered for a more detailed explanation of
energy efficiency trends. The amount of throughput in the terminal was chosen as a basic
production quantity indicator. The amount of throughput in tonnes is only an approximate
indicator, because of varying energy consumption, depending on production type. The
throughput decreased by 0.8% in 2012.

The amount of PCT throughput “hides” some factors, such as the number of container
movements on the terminal, which affect energy consumption. For this purpose, working
hours can be observed for individual machines. The ratio of working hours on the throughput
(h/t) is increasing, by 3% in 2012 based on the previous year. The lack of space and longer
distance needed for storing containers result in an increase of working hours. Increased ratio
of working hours on the throughput also represents an increase in specific energy
consumption.

4 CARBON FOOTPRINT CALCULATION
4.1 INTRODUCTION
In this section the calculation of the Carbon Footprint generated at the participant Port
Container Terminals is provided. Carbon Footprint is a useful indicator for all kind of
organizations to measure their environmental impact in terms of Greenhouse Gas
Emissions (GHG). The carbon footprint, according to the “Guide to PAS 2050” is a term used
to describe the amount of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) caused by a particular activity or entity.
The methodology used in this study is based on the PAS 2050 developed by the British
Standard Institute (BSI), in cooperation with the Carbon Trust and the Department for
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). The 2050 specification is based on the
methodology of live cycle analysis, and in particular in ISO 14040 and 14044:2006, but also
in ISO 14021 eco-labelling. The methodology described in the norm can be used to analyze
GHG emissions of the life cycle of any product.
The approach used to industrial installations is focused on their activities, processes and
services provided during ordinary operations, and this will be the method used at the
present document. In this manner, the Carbon Footprint will be determined taking as a
reference the energy consumption of the terminal, disaggregated by type of energy source
(electricity and fuels). For each type of energy source, emission coefficients are defined in
order to obtain the GHG emissions produced at the consumer point derived from the use of
each type of energy. The proposed methodology is aligned with the guidelines established
in the document Carbon Footprinting for Ports. Guidance Document published by the World
Ports Climate Initiative, International Association of Ports and Harbours (IAPH).
The Carbon Footprint is calculated taking into account greenhouse gas (GHG) emission
factors. GHGs are gases present in the earth's atmosphere that reduce the loss of heat into
space. GHGs primarily include water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous
oxide, (N2O), and certain fluorinated gases used in commercial and industrial applications.
GHGs affect climate as they concentrate in the Earth’s atmosphere and trap heat by
blocking some of the long-wave energy normally radiated back into space. Activities that
release GHGs into the air include those that occur in and around a port setting, such as the
burning of fossil fuels for industrial operations, transportation, heating, and electricity. The
potential consequences of global warming include longer and hotter summers, longer
droughts, more devastating wildfires, and shortages of public water, all of which threaten
public health and the economy.
The used methodology also considers the concept of “CO2 equivalent emissions” or CO2eq.
The equivalent emissions also take into account the contribution of CH4 and N2O which are
other contributors to global warming besides CO2.

The following table provides the emission factors considered for each port according to the
different sources available in Italy, Spain and Slovenia.
Table 51. GreenHouse Emission Factors for Electricity and Fuel Conversion
Source7
GHG emissions also include the effect of other agents like CH4 and N2O. The contribution of
such compounds is expressed in terms of CO2 equivalent emissions, or CO2eq. In the case of
electricity, the formula used is as follows:
CO2 – 104903,3 Kilo Tonne eq CO2 – Ratio 1 (reference)
CH4 – 168,87 Kilo Tonne eq CO2 – Ratio 0,00161
N2O – 730,7 Kilo Tonne eq CO2 – Ratio 0,00696
For fuel consumption, the step coefficients to be considered are as follow:
CO2 – 102395,94 Kilo Tonne eq CO2 – Ratio 1 (reference)
CH4 – 135,43 Kilo Tonne eq CO2 – Ratio 0,00132
N2O – 975,11 Kilo Tonne eq CO2 – Ratio 0,00952
In this manner a final value expressed in terms of CO2eq emissions is obtained. This value
needs to be correlated with the basic production unit of the organization. In the case of
PCTs, CO2eq emissions can be correlated to different production units, being the Twenty-
Feet Equivalent Unit (TEU) the standard indicator which represents the amount of
containers handled by a certain installation referenced to the standard dimension of a
twenty-feet container. Since in a PCT different types of containers are handled, the TEU is
an indicator which harmonizes the total traffic under a common standard unit and it is the
reference in the port sector to measure the throughput of port container terminals.

5 THE ROLE OF PORT AUTHORITIES AS ENERGY MANAGERS
In the last fifty years the energy sector has suffered a deep transformation due to very
different factors such as the geopolitical uncertainty of countries with huge amount of
energy sources (mainly oil), the increase on the environmental awareness and the
technological evolution which has facilitated the development of renewable energy sources
(wind, photovoltaic and thermal solar energy, etc.).
The main challenge nowadays concerning energy is to improve the way that energy is used,
obtaining the same benefits with fewer resources. In this manner, eco-efficiency at ports is
becoming more and more significant in line with other strategic sectors. The main
objectives of eco-efficiency at ports can be described in the following points:
To reduce electrical energy consumption by means efficient equipment with energy
classification A or A+ (lightning, engines, generators, etc.) and to improve the isolation
of walls and glasses in order to reduce losses.
To reduce losses within the electrical distribution network by means of monitoring and
control of installations as well as the operation in real time over the network behaviour.
To plan the development of the different infrastructures and networks within the port
attending to operational and environmental criteria.
To increase the awareness and training of port personnel in order to make a more
efficient use of energy resources.
Electrical energy at ports is essential to develop the great majority of activities related to
cargo handling and logistics, especially with containerized cargo. The evolution of these
activities and their complexity demand nowadays huge amounts of energy. Thus, the
electrical network must provide energy at the right moment and at the right place with high
degrees of quality and reliability, trying to avoid interruptions in the supply which may
cause important economic losses as well as operative inefficiencies.
The key to achieve this high degree of reliability is to deploy redundant elements in the
network which guarantee the supply continuity although one or more of the network
components fail.
Although it is very difficult to reduce the probability of supply interruption to zero,
nowadays the technologies and management controls of the energy supply networks allow
the normal operations under the most complex and hard conditions. The role of the Port
Authority in this manner is to maintain the installations, networks and devices in order to
keep the system running under the appropriate conditions of operation, safety and
security.
The actual trends and developments on renewable energies and other efficient alternatives
like co-generation and the use of natural gas is transforming the energy policy of ports.

5.1 PORT AUTHORITY OF VALENCIA
The electrical network managed by the Port Authority of Valencia (APV) is a three-phase
private network of 20kV and 50 Hz with a redundant supply point consisting in two lines of
the IBERDROLA Company.
The delivery and manoeuvring centre is located in the Av. Ingeniero Manuel Soto. In this
centre four electrical lines arrive from the GRAO substation and two other exit from it
towards the distribution centre. Both lines are controlled by automatic switches. The
energy provided by the supply company is managed in the distribution centre, which is
composed by modular cells. Each module is isolated in SF6 in order to avoid pollution and
salt from the sea as well as floods. With this system maintenance is significantly reduced
and reliability is increased.

The installed system is a single-bar divided into section cabins with the following
specifications:
Two entrance-line cells type CGM-CML in 18 VDC.
Two general protection cells type CGM-CMP with RPGM relay.
Two measurement cells type CGM-CMM which register the energy coming from the
two entrance lines.
Six protection cells for exit lines type CGM-CMP with RPGM relay.
Two cells type CGM-CMIP with capacity to be operated manually.
Inside the distribution centre there are installed two reactive energy compensation
batteries of 2.000 kVAr capacity each one.

The distribution network is formed by two rings denominated as North and South. The
North ring starts from the automatic switch of the bar number 1 and serve the different
APV centres and buildings, finishing its path in the bar number 3.
The South ring starts from the automatic switch of bar number 1 and ends in the two
switches of bar number 3. This configuration allows future expansions of the network
towards the south of the port, where the available spaces for industrial activities are much
higher than in the north.
The rings start always in a bar connected to the deliver line of IBERDROLA and end in the
bar of the opposite line. In this manner, it is possible to keep the system running although
some breakdown appears in some bar, thus applying the concept of redundancy.
The distribution network is composed by single-pole cables with copper conductors of 150
mm2 section, isolated with HEPR and with copper wires of 16 mm2 for a nominal voltage of
12 / 20 kV. The maximum intensity allowed for these cables at 105ºC are:
Section Air or Ventilate Gallery Directly Buried Buried under Tube
150 mm2 Cu 465 A 360 A 330 A
In the last expansion of the network, single-polar aluminium cables of 240 mm2 section are
being used. The maximum intensity allowed for these cables at 105ºC are:
Section Air or Ventilate Gallery Directly Buried Buried under Tube
240 mm2 Al 495 A 365 A 345 A
Both conductor cables are equivalent in transport capacity.

5.2 PORT AUTHORITY OF LIVORNO
Livorno Port Authority is not a direct energy provider, but as port management and
monitoring authority and public investor in port general interest infrastructures, the
policies adopted in the Port Authority’s Port Master Plan and their related decisions can
have a direct impact also in the port energy sector. The port of Livorno, as any other
complex economic system where networks of different production activities are
interoperating, is with no doubt a significant energy consumption centre characterized by
several components, as those referred to ships approaching and mooring, cargo handling
through different kinds of cranes and heavy trucks, yards lightning and buildings powering.
In this context, any action aimed at lowering the energetic dependency, making the use of
energy more efficient and reducing the emission levels, could play an important role for its
future development, especially considering the cost rising trends of fossil fuels and also the
need to comply even more strictly to those regulations devised for bringing down the
environmental impact of production processes and improving their sustainability.
Thus, the Port of Livorno rationalization and growing policies shall foresee also its parallel
energetic development, which has to be based on a real mind-changing in terms of energy
related decisions. On the one hand, Livorno port should gradually change its status from
“energy consumer” to “energy producer” and, on the other, we have to take into account
all the aspects related to energy efficiency, an important concept to be declined not only in
terms of future infrastructure and services development decisions, but also through
implementing real time energy balance monitoring systems and carrying out maintenance
activities focused on a gradual substitution of highly consuming spare parts with their eco-
efficient counterparts.
In order to achieve these mid-to-long terms objectives, all the efforts that will be made in
the port of Livorno for addressing those energetic issues must realize practical results
useful and usable for getting closer to the following key elements:
Creation and/or integration of small-scale renewable energy power plants (“Energy
Districts” and “Smart Grids”), with particular focus on:
Solar energy: individuation and utilization of available areas for installing solar panel
and photovoltaic systems, also through applying specific public concession policies;
Wind power: design and development of small on-shore/off-shore wind power
plants in harmony with the future port expansion plans;
Green Quays: quays adaptation works for their electrification, in view of a possible
cold ironing service activation, in cooperation with shipping companies;
Wave energy: preliminary studies, in cooperation with Research
Centres/Universities, for evaluating the locally available wave energy potential;
Solutions for increasing eco-save/eco-efficiency and real time monitoring of port
energy consumptions;
Fossil fuels need analysis and studies/actions for their gradual substitution, with
periodic updates of energy audits in the port operating companies.

5.3 PORT OF KOPER
Luka Koper is not a direct energy provider. It is at the same time port manager, investor in
port infrastructure and also terminal operator, so its actions have a direct impact on energy
consumption. As it holds true for all ports, also the port Koper is a point of major energy
consumption through terminal activities of handling cargo, internal transportations,
lightning systems, etc.
The electrical network managed by the Port of Koper is a three-phase private network of 20
kV and 50 Hz with a redundant supply point consisting in four lines of the ELEKTRO
PRIMORSKA Company.
The delivery and distribution centre is located in the Port of Koper. In this centre three
electrical lines arrive from the RTP Koper substation and one from RTP Dekani substation.
All lines are controlled by automatic switches. The energy provided by the supply company
is managed in the distribution centre, which is composed by modular cells. Each module is
isolated in SF6 in order to avoid pollution and salt from the sea as well as floods. With this
system maintenance is significantly reduced and reliability is increased.

The electrical network of the Port of Koper has been developed for the last 55 years in
accordance to needs of electricity consumers in the port. In the middle term Luka Koper is
planning to set up of a monitoring system that will enable a real time monitoring of
electricity consumption in the port. The long term plan is on the other hand to take
advantage of all the available surfaces in the port area to build solar power plants and to
assure a high level of energy self-sufficiency.

6 CONCLUSIONS
The present deliverable comprises a detailed approach to the problem of energy
consumption characterization at port container terminals. This study represents a required
input for the next stages of GREENCRANES, as many of technical and operative criteria
considered in the evaluation of eco-efficient alternatives will be affected by the way in that
energy is used. In the same way, a first step has been carried out in the definition of useful
energy efficiency indicators to be integrated into the operative management models of
PCTs.
General Considerations
The first and clearest result of the study carried out is that port container terminals are
huge energy consumers, especially on those energy sources based on fossil fuels. Average
values show a yearly fuel consumption of almost 10 million fuel litres (in form of diesel oil)
including Noatum Container Terminal Valencia, Livorno Darsena Toscana and Koper
Container Terminal. This figure gives the real dimension of the high energy intensity needed
at container handling operations. A great economic, environmental and social impact is
derived from the massive use of diesel oil for developing non-stop operatives at ports.
From the economic point of view, the general increase of fuel prices is affecting port
installations, representing more every day a significant cost which reduces their
competitiveness and forces PCTs to assign economical resources to fuel supply. This fact
increases their opportunity cost and limits the capacity for investing in profitable actions or
areas of the organization.
In terms of environmental impact, the use of the current fuel in a non-stop operative
model generates a great amount of GHG emissions, with an estimation of nearly 25.000
CO2eq tonnes derived from the use of diesel oil at the three participant PCTs in 2012. In this
manner, big port container terminals can be defined as important GHG emitters at the
same level of other heavy industries.
Concerning social impact, port installations are usually located near populated cities and
urban areas, especially in the Mediterranean. This is the case of Valencia, Livorno and
Koper. Impact of port operations affects directly nearby population as direct GHG
emissions (derived from diesel oil) are locally deployed, not only CO2, but also other
pollutant and toxic gases like N2O, Sulphur compounds and suspension particles. These
exhaust emissions are directly linked to respiratory illnesses and represent a public health
issue to be considered and properly managed.
Another important energy source used at PCTs is electricity. Although electricity does not
produce direct environmental impact in terms of emissions at ports, its generation in
power plants produce also indirect GHG which must be taken into account when
describing the energy consumption maps of port container terminals. In the present study,
an aggregated consumption of 33 MWh in 2012 has been calculated for the three
terminals, representing around 15.000 CO2eq tonnes generated. In this manner, a specific
analysis on how electrical energy is supplied and managed at ports can also offer important
improvement opportunities to reduce its degree of consumption.
Report on Port Container Terminals Energy Profile
Activity 1: Mapping of Port Container Terminals Energy Profile 127
Specific Considerations
Concerning the mapping of energy profiles developed at NCTV, TDT and Koper, some
significant conclusions have been obtained. From the point of view of electrical
consumption, Ship-to-Shore cranes and reefer containers are heavy consumer centres,
representing 70-80% of the total electrical consumption in the three terminals. This value
is directly linked with the production of the terminal.
To improve electrical management at port container terminals, a better knowledge about
where and how the energy is consumed is needed. IT supporting systems include the
software that allows managing, interpreting and distributing the data measured. After the
connection of port machinery to the IT system it would be able to provide accurate, true
RMS measurements of voltage, current, power and energy, comprehensive logging and
advanced power quality measurement and compliance verification functions.
With regards to fuel consumption, different considerations can be pointed out for each
terminal. In the case of NCTV, more than 90% of fuel consumption corresponds to RTGs
and yard tractors. When talking about NCTV RTGs, different families of machines work at
the terminal, existing a wide consumption gap between the Fantuzzi and the Konecranes
family. In the case of Livorno Darsena Toscana, reach stackers are the main consumers,
followed by RTGs and yard tractors. Reach stackers are the main equipment used at TDT
yard, with an average consumption of 13 l/h. RTGs present an average fuel consumption of
16 l/h. Finally, Koper Container Terminal presents a similar situation than NCTV, where
RTGs are the main fuel consumption contributors to the total amount. Thus, the
contribution of RTGs jointly with yard tractors surpasses 60% of the total amount of fuel,
followed by reach stackers with a contribution of 20%.
Considering the aggregated carbon footprint generated by the three terminals, the global
value reaches 45,68 Kg. CO2eq / TEU, considering an aggregated traffic of 2.992.073 TEUs
in 2011 (year with complete data for carbon footprint calculation).
According to the results derived from the present energy consumption map of the three
terminals, it can be pointed out that effort to reduce fuel consumption and GHG emissions
produced by RTGs, yard tractors and reach stackers is strongly recommended. In this
manner, Activity 2 will study different eco-efficient alternatives oriented to reduce such
consumption: substitution of diesel oil with LNG for powering yard tractors and RTGs,
implementation of electrification technologies and study of alternative eco-fuels for reach
stackers will be part of the alternatives considered.
Activity 2 of GREENCRANES will evaluate different solutions oriented to reduce energy
consumption and GHG emissions. LNG is a clear candidate for the substitution of current
fuels at PCTs due to its lower emissions rate and price. However, limitations on supply and
availability must be studied and evaluated in order to demonstrate the implementation
feasibility. Electrification is another key alternative, being the main constraint the high level
of investment needed.
Activity 3 of the project, based on pilot demonstrations will clarify the theoretical
assumptions and the estimations considered for defining the feasibility models of each
alternative.

The RTG no.29 was measured during 41 h between the 6th and 7th December 2012. The
genset generated 25,68 kW per working hour in average. The final result is obtained
multiplying the kW generated by the working hours and by the price of the energy. The
value of 178 € corresponds to the energy produced multiplied by an average price of the
energy (market price). The value for the fuel consumed is obtained in the same manner
considering a market price of 0,76 €/L. The difference results in a potential saving of 802 €
for 41 working hours.

9.2 REACH STACKERS FLEET CONSUMPTION DATA ANALYSIS
For each TDT reach stacker the total fuel consumption has been calculated for all the period
from January 2011 to November 2012. Each device has a “working hour counter” that has
been used to calculate the specific consumption: litres of fuel / working hours [l/h]. The
“Availability” of a reach stacker in the period, has been defined as the total number of
hours it was available for working (24 available hours per day). The “% of use” has been
defined as the total working hour of each reach stacker divided by its availability.
The results of fleet consumption analysis are reported in the following table:
