Simplifying your operationS by Setting induStry benchmarkS in conSultancy ServiceS and advanced Software applicationS
tbaba was founded in the nineties of the
previous century as a consultancy firm
focusing on solving logistic problems
with advanced tools.
viSion and miSSion
It is TBA’s vision to improve the cost
efficiency and productivity of container
and bulk terminals world-wide through
consultancy and software. we
distinguish ourselves by state-of-the-
art tools that facilitate decision-mak-
ing such as simulation and emulation.
Our clients include all major container
terminal operators worldwide and
many local port operators.
tba is headquartered in delft (the
Netherlands), has offices in Düsseldorf
(Germany) and Satu Mare (Romania),
and is locally represented in South
America, Australia and Oceania.
Simulation
TBA has worked on over 800 projects,
including the design and improvement
of over 200 terminals in over 75
countries spanning six continents, with
capacities ranging from 50,000 TEU
to 10 million TEU in annual throughput.
Our studies cover all handling systems,
including various state-of-the-art
automation solutions.
Project experience includes key port
development projects in Europe
(Antwerp, London and Rotterdam),
the Middle East (Jebel Ali terminals
and Khalifa terminal), North America
(innovative developments in the ports
of los angeles / long beach, new york
/ new Jersey and virginia) and port
development in Oceania (Auckland,
Sydney, brisbane and melbourne).
also in asia, we have been involved in
the latest developments of automated
terminals (Qingdao, Shanghai, Pusan).
TBA has been involved in the majority
of the most innovative terminal design
projects globally over the last 10 years.
Aside from working on terminal-spe-
cific projects, we are the go-to expert
for the evaluation of innovative new
handling concepts for a number of
major operators as well as equipment
manufacturers.
TBA’s simulations have proven to be
accurate within a bandwidth of +/- 5%,
compared to real operations. Especially
in comparison to spreadsheet
calculations, we distinguish ourselves
as being more accurate, and therefore,
leading to results that can be trusted.

the automated equipment to ensure
smooth, efficient and reliable operations.
TEAMS has been implemented at CTA
(Hamburg), Euromax (Rotterdam),
antwerp gateway (antwerp), apmt
MV2 (Rotterdam), Rotterdam World
gateway (Rotterdam), and soon at
lbct (long beach).
TEAMS controls fleets of automated
cranes and automated vehicles, and
keeps toS and process controller
informed about the status of the
automated equipment in real-time.
TBA’s TEAMS real time control
software plays a crucial role in meeting
the promises of terminal automation,
and guarantees that equipment is used
to its full operational potential.
teamS supports:
z Efficient execution of orders
z Fast, deadlock and colission-free
routes
z Smooth equipment use, to ensure
equipment longevity
z Minimization of down times due to
breakdowns
EMULATIONteSting
As the Terminal Operating System (TOS) is
the heart of the terminal operation, and really
drives the speed at which the operations run,
it is crucial to have a new toS fully prepared
for this task. how to ensure that this is the case
when the terminal is not yet open?
With TBA’s emulation platform CONTROLS,
you can realistically create stress situations and
see how a new TOS performs before go-live:
z Does it run smoothly and is it stable?
z Does it support the performance targeted
under design conditions?
Or before peak-days and special circumstances:
z Is my TOS prepared for peak scenarios?
z How will my TOS perform if our volume
grows or customer requirements change?
tuning
A well-configured TOS is essential for
high terminal performance, and therefore
parameter fine-tuning is required. It is crucial
to have it configured to support a high terminal
performance at low cost.
How to evaluate a change in TOS parameter settings
when the actual operations vary from day to day?
z Equipment scheduling parameters
z Container grounding parameters
TOS tuning with CONTROLS has given terminals
across the globe the competitive edge.
training
A key element in consistently achieving the terminal’s
target productivities over various shifts and under
varying conditions is a well-trained team of planners -
it all starts in the planning department.
TBA’s Virtual Reality TOS Training aims to improve
decisions made by, for example:
z vessel planners
z yard planners
z Equipment dispatchers
We have trained over 250 planners world-wide, using
game-based training

SICK SOLUTIONS FOR THE PORT
INDUSTRY
SICK provides numerous
cutting-edge solutions for
safety and efficiency in port
applications, based on sensor
technology. These applications
include Container Stack profiling;
Safe access guarding at lashing
platforms; Gantry cranes (RMG/
ASC) collision prevention and
distance measurement; Transfer
area access guarding; Anti-truck
lifting at gantry cranes; and Truck
positioning systems.
However, the Anti-Collision sensor
technologies used for STS quay
cranes and RTG cranes in container
terminals are in particular focus
within the ports industry. Indeed,
according to insurance company
TT Club, crane booms colliding
with the structure or equipment
of a ship is an all-too-common
occurrence at almost every port
around the world, causing serious
injuries to workers and costly repairs
and operational downtime. All quay
cranes are at risk, including those
involved in container, bulk and
general cargo operations. Therefore,
the Club continues to recommend
strongly the installation of effective
boom anti-collision systems to assist
crane operators in avoiding these
incidents.
This is where SICK comes into the
picture, with its unique ADVANCED
OBJECT DETECTION SYSTEMS
(AOS) tailored to provide effective
solutions to help prevent such
collisions.

ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST
With its strong application expertise in
the field, together with local technical
competency and after-sales support,
SICK has supplied its anti-collision
laser-based systems to numerous port
applications across the Middle East
– such as Egypt, through the GCC
countries and including Pakistan.
The latest iterations of the laser-based
scanners, namely the LMS511 and
LMS111, are particularly suited to adverse
weather conditions in this region, and
have been proven to be robust and
resilient therefore providing years of
uninterrupted performance.
Coupled with the safety controller
unique to SICK, called the Flexisoft, this
provides a customized fail-safe laser
detection system with high diagnostic
capability in hot and sandy, or cool
and foggy or rainy conditions, further
enhanced by the 5 Echo Pulse technology
of the LMS511 scanner, which maximizes
penetration of the infrared laser beam
through multiple media.
z Optional gateways ensure
connection to bus systems or
remote diagnostics

automated stacking cranes, in 1990
at the European Container Terminals
site in the Netherlands and automated
RTGs (port of Oslo, 2014). We launched
the first automated straddle carriers
at hoogovens in the Netherlands in
1993. We continue to lead the industry
in equipment automation solutions in
the new millennium, having delivered
the first automated straddle carrier
terminal, in Brisbane, Australia in 2005

CONTAINER HANDLING REFINED AND REDEFINED
imars is a Swedish developer and
manufacturer of container handling
equipment and was founded in year
1976. In the year 1984 Timars produced
their first container spreader which
was a semi-automatic fixed frame
spreader and since then they have
continued to design smart solutions
that have increased efficiency and
safety in ports all over the world.
Timars has always focused on listening
to the customer’s problems and
requirements and from the operators
view trying to develop innovative
products. Always focusing on making
lifting equipment efficient, safe and
reliable. With an engineering team
taking pride in quality in every detail
of the product and with a highly
competent production team, always
trying to find constant improvements.
The result has been a success! Starting
from several types of semi-automatic
spreader and the unique attachment
for handling unevenly loaded
container, Timars Gravity Centralizer.
Developing new generations of
Overheight frames, like Timars OH-
semiautomatic Overheight frame to
the latest version called Timars OHE
– fully automatic Electrical Overheight
frame. And now also the first fully
automatic Offset frames for handling
20ft containers close to the bridge of
the vessels.
To make sure that the customers’
requirements are always fulfilled,
Timars has a DNV-certification
according to the ISO 9001 standard
since 2002. And the company also
takes its environmental responsibility
very seriously and is certified according
to ISO 14001 since 2002.
Recently, Timars has also been
awarded the ISO 3834-2 certification
from DNV, certifying that it can offer
welding services of the highest quality
and standards in the industry.
HigHligHted productsTImARS OFFSET FRAmE
Timars Offset Frame is an attachment
to a container spreader for handling
20ft containers “offset” from the
lifting lugs of the container spreaders.
The Offset frame therefore increases
efficiency, safety and decreases
damage costs for operators who have
a problem with picking 20ft containers
closest to the bridge of a vessel.
The Offset frame is fully automatic and
can be used with any kind of automatic
spreader. The Offset frame is attached
to the container spreader like a regular
20ft container in four top corner
castings. There are no secondary
fixings between the spreader and the
offset frame, which means that the
timarsT

s
crane operator can easily attach and detach the offset
frame without any manual assistance. The twistlocks
on the Offset frame lock and unlock automatically (no
manual operation).
The standard offset is 1500 mm from the spreader,
which means that the crane operator can pick 20ft
containers close to the bridge on vessels. This is
normally a problem with a regular container spreaders
due to the wires.

There are several inbuilt safety
systems that ensure safe operation
and the frame is equipped with
LED lights for indicating twistlock
status (locked/open) and fully
landed (with landing probes on
each twistlock).
The Offset frame can also be
equipped with Timars Hoist
Interlock System (HIS), which
requires an installation on the
crane and spreader.
TImARS OHE
The Timars OHE frame is a fully
electric overheight frame with the
latest safety systems. It has been
developed from Timars’ years of
experience in producing the most
efficient and safest overheight
frames, which can be universally
used with any kind of automatic
spreader and spreader brand.
This overheight frame has been
developed to meet the increased
safety demands in ports and
can include a Hoist Interlock

The internal 24V electric
system has a smart sleep-mode
and can therefore significantly
save power consumption and
the batteries are charge by
solar panels.
Every detail in the overheight
frame is top quality and service
and maintenance times are kept
to an absolute minimum.
The connection between the
spreader and the overheight
frame is the same as a regular
container using the twistlocks
of the spreaders. There is no
other mechanical connection
to the spreader and there is no
need of manual operation for
connecting or disconnecting the overheight frame.
It can therefore be left anywhere. This, and the
fast operation, makes Timars OHE one of the most
efficient overheight frames on the market.
Available in fixed 20ft, fixed 40ft or telescopic
20-45ft. With SWL 50T and standard free overheight
at 2.6m.

* TechValidate survey of Navis N4 terminals conducted September 2015
arger ships are pushing supply chain
boundaries and presenting new challenges
for terminal operations.
to maintain performance, terminals need
to rethink how they build and operate their
terminals. as a result, there is a growing
trend for terminals to become more
intelligent with automation technologies
that holistically optimize operations with
reliability and consistency.
For the first time, terminals have been
faced with new operational challenges
due to increased cargo volumes, rising
customer expectations, demands for
faster vessel turn-around times and
thinner it budgets. existing terminal
equipment, people and processes can
only do so much to move the needle on
operations. Instead, software and services
designed to help terminals optimize
operations, gain new efficiencies and
improve customer service have become
essential.
For more than 27 years, Navis has been
partnering with its customers to develop
the functionality of its terminal operating
system into what is today called Navis
N4. The flexibility of the Navis N4
platform enables terminals of all sizes
to improve performance and efficiency,
and grow into automated processes and
systems when necessary. the most recent
version of N4 3.1, was released in October
2015. N4 3.1 supports the industry move
to automation while delivering enhanced
capabilities for rail operations, system
performance and key features to make
it easier for legacy sparcs/express
customers to move to N4.
The N4 system is enhanced by the Navis
Professional Services team whose systems
implementation, integration, training,
support and optimization expertise helps
terminals realize the full value and potential
from their technology investments, pre and
post go-live.
curreNt challeNges of
termiNal operators revealed
as we are all aware, terminals today are
faced with unprecedented challenges
that impact terminal operations on
a daily basis. findings from a recent
Navis customer survey* provides insight
into the challenges and concerns of
terminals worldwide. when asked about
their biggest operational challenges, an
overwhelming majority of customers–82
percent–revealed that optimizing
operations to improve productivity is a
chief concern. Behind that, more than
half—66 percent—also noted the need
to reduce operational costs as another
top challenge. other notable pain points
include high trucker wait times at the
gate (39 percent), training of personnel
to use new technologies (37 percent),
poor yard planning and a high number
of rehandles (34 percent).

why N4?
Around the world, more than 190 terminals have made
the decision to move to the N4 TOS for a variety of
reasons. According to the same survey, 60 percent
of current N4 customers chose N4 in order to update
their tos to a more modern platform. Based on
industry challenges, not surprisingly 50 percent chose
N4 to optimize operational processes while 33 percent
noted selecting N4 to standardize operations across
multiple sites.
Navis customers aren’t just concerned with improving
their own operations—they also recognize how
technologies like N4 can help them achieve new levels
of efficiency that will elevate their positions in the
broader regional and global trading markets. Nearly
half (46 percent) of customers reported selecting
Navis to improve their competitive advantage and
keep up with industry demands.
lastly, terminals are increasingly focused on new
ways they can achieve better outcomes. For many,
process and equipment automation is a consistent
theme to readying terminal operations for
future success. the tos has emerged
as the technology backbone needed
to support key automation-based
initiatives—nearly 40 percent selected
N4 to help prepare for or implement
automated equipment and processes.
ReAl-WORld BeNeFITS
Technology is only as good as the benefits
it delivers to its users. According to Navis
customers, N4 consistently provides
value from initial go-live through to more
mature uses of N4 five-to-seven years
post implementation.
When asked in the survey to rate the degree
of process improvements with N4, almost
all (93 percent) noted improvements to
operational visibility. Additionally, 83
percent identified improvements in gate/
rail and yard processes, respectively, while
77 percent experienced better vessel load
and discharge productivity. lastly, 75
percent reported improvements in IT staff
productivity overall.
going a layer deeper, when asked to
estimate how specific terminal processes
have improved with the use of N4,
respondents noted:
z Gate/rail processes: 75 percent saw
up to a 25 percent improvement
z Yard productivity: 60 percent saw up
to a 50 per cent improvement
z Vessel load and discharge: 56 per cent
saw up to a 50 percent improvement
z IT staff efficiency: 73 percent saw up
to a 25 percent improvement
terminals concerned with lowering
operational costs are also seeing N4
deliver significant value in this regard.
Seventy percent of those polled reported
reduced costs in yard planning efficiency,
42 percent in improving customer
Based on the survey findings, the need to
improve productivity while reducing operational
costs creates a perfect storm for terminal operators
who must essentially do more with less. thus,
advanced technology solutions like N4 become
increasingly important to drive necessary changes
within the terminal, as well as fortify operations for
long-term success.

satisfaction, 40 percent in more effective housekeeping
and 39 percent in crane assignment processes. For
those five-to-seven-years post N4 implementation, even
greater savings were noted in these areas long-term.
iNNovatioN
Continued innovation in technologies, systems and
processes will be necessary to meet the industry’s
ongoing challenges. terminal facilities will need
to continue to advance. More will be focused on
sustainability and safety in their operations. and more
than ever before, technology will continue to disrupt
the status quo, transforming the way cargo is moved
efficiently around the globe.
As terminals look to what’s next in the industry, Navis
continues to move the needle for product and service
delivery to support market needs. In late 2014, Navis
announced the development of XVelA, a cloud-based
carrier-terminal collaboration platform designed to
eliminate traditional communication barriers between
carriers and container terminals, enhancing collaboration
and vastly improving the planning and execution of
critical vessel stowage operations. In addition, the Navis
Business intelligence portal, launched earlier this year, is
helping terminals to improve the reporting and analytics
of their operations to make better, quicker decisions.
And finally, Navis Optimization modules and services
teams are helping more and more terminals to maximize
the effectiveness of the technology investments.
As more advanced technologies continue to infiltrate
all areas of global container shipping, terminals that
upgrade and enhance their technology infrastructures
now will have both operational as well as competitive
advantages against those who do not. Navis customers
prove that operational improvements are possible in the
face of industry challenges, today, tomorrow and well
into the future.

A brighter future
rismalence sell energy efficient heavy-duty lights based
on our own patented lens technology. Giving large energy
savings and comfortable lighting through prismatic light
control. We have developed our lenses since 1990 and we
continuously improve and add new lenses and test out new
light technology.
The company Prismalence AB was started in 2003 to
commercialize patents related to light. Prismalence and all
its related patents are controlled by the original founders. A
strategic partnership is in place with the luminaire producer
Nordic Light.
Prismalence have so far sold more than 100,000 lights and
are continuing to grow in the demanding container terminal
and heavy industry sectors.
Based in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. The company has partners
in The Netherlands, UK, Singapore and China with customers
on all continents.
Our lights are widely used in international container ports
on all types of cranes and hi-masts.
Prismalence is approved supplier to many manufacturers
of STS’s (Ship to Shore cranes) and RTG’s (Rubber Tyre
Gantry cranes) such as: Liebherr Container Cranes, ZPMC,
Trans Gulf Port Cranes, Paceco, Kalmar, Rainbow-Cargotec,
Terex-Noell and Kone Cranes.
We also deliver consistently to large International Container
Terminals such as DP World, PSA, APM and HPH for their
Yard Hi-mast lighting, Cranes and Workshops.
Stockholm, London, Singapore and Dubai are a few of the
more well known ports that we are illuminating. We are a
one-stop solution for all lighting needs on a terminal.
COMPANY VISION
Lighting is a field that is under continuous development,
not least because of our common responsibility for an envi-
ronmentally sustainable society. Lighting is one of the main
energy consuming activities and therefore it is imperative
that we use this energy as efficiently as possible. But at the

RELIABLE
All our fittings use high grade
materials in every detail with
a very high focus on reliability
under harsh conditions. We
same time, we as humans have physical and
mental needs that must be met by the lighting
for us to work safely and live comfortably.
Not all lights are created equal. The human
perception is an advanced mechanism that
involves so many factors that we must
summarize it by saying that a light must
”feel” right to you. Prismalence takes that
task seriously and embraces the challenge of
remaining at the cutting edge of development.
We are also a strong believer in that the
best for us and the environment is to have
long-lasting light fittings.
Why Choose PrismalenCe? QUALITY LIGHT
We work towards long-term satisfaction and
we have fixtures that are adapted to work
with the human perception and to function
for a long time under all conditions. We have
the least glare among all high-power LED
fixtures with minimum performance loss
through our patented lens system. Our LED
light quality is superior with no flicker, good
color rendering (esp. safety colors) and no
color shift when dimming. We have one of
the longest reaches, furthest throw of light
of any LED fixtures. We use a scientific
approach to choosing the right spectral
output for the job.
ECO FRIENDLY
Our in-house paint-shop does not only give us
corrosion resistant paint, it is Northern Europe’s
most Eco friendly with no chemicals released
to the nature and the process heat is used to
warm our workshop and warehouse. Our fittings
are more than 90% recyclable, being made by
mostly pure aluminium and glas. The electronics
are easily field-stripped for replacement or
recycling.
We have won the European Green Light
Award 2006 and 2008.

installation is very easy with just one type of

use glass lenses that never will

specially hardened to be tough

in trelleborg’s siso system, ultra-high-
molecular-weight polyethylene wear
pads are bolted onto two stainless
steel removable panels. the panels are
then inserted into a guide rail on the
front face of the fixed frontal frame.
the sliding panels can then be
easily lifted out of the frontal
frame and replacements
reinserted within two hours
– reducing downtime on the
berth and keeping operations
running punctually.

InspIred engIneerIng Across the MIddle eAst
avotec is a global engineering group
that enables industries worldwide
to improve productivity, safety and
sustainability. the group delivers
power transmission, distribution
and control technologies that form
a seamless link between fixed and
mobile equipment in the ports &
Maritime, Airports, Mining & tunnelling
and general Industry sectors.
one of the group’s regional arms,
cavotec Middle east, is headquartered
in Jebel Ali, dubai, and works closely
with customers in the Middle east
and beyond to improve operational
efficiency in a variety of sectors.
“cavotec Middle east is one of
the very few companies that was
established in Jebel Ali. We currently
own a 3,600-sqm warehouse and
have offices in Abu Dhabi, Bahrain
and Qatar, enabling us to cover the
entire wider region. our regional
operations are supported by 80 highly
experienced personnel,” says Mr.
Juergen strommer, chief operating
Officer, Cavotec EMEA, (Europe,
Middle east & Africa).
the company places very strong
emphasis on innovation and quality,
ensuring that its solutions help
customers improve their operations
in terms of safety, efficiency and
environmental impact.
“cavotec has nine centers of
Excellence, where we develop new
technologies and products, and have a
truly global presence through our sales
companies located in 35 countries
worldwide. the group is divided into
four market units: ports & Maritime,
Airports, Mining & tunneling and
general Industry. In the Middle east,
we focus primarily on the aviation,
maritime and oil & gas sectors. the
majority of our systems are used to
power and operate mobile equipment.
In the airports sector, we provide
innovative turnkey ground support
equipment which supply aircraft with
essential services such as pre-condi-
tioned air, electrical power, water and
fuel,” adds Strommer.
cavotec has a clear vision for success.
With a global network of highly
experienced engineers, backed by
local expert knowledge, the company
works closely with customers and
industry bodies.
“having started its operations with a
strong ports focus, cavotec Middle
East has since successfully diversified
into a variety of other segments
such as construction. Fundamentally
however, the company has always
remained close to its core clients such
as dp world, dubai Airports, the port
of salalah and Abu dhabi ports. We
are the only company in the region
that offers a complete turnkey service
for the aviation sector – right from the
design phase, production, delivery,

the technology dramatically
improves safety and operational
efficiency, and also enables ports
to make infrastructure savings. It
has performed more than 100,000
mooring operations at ferry, bulk
handling, ro-ro, container and lock
applications around the world.
cavotec also supports its customers
to reduce environmental impact.
“the Airports and ports & Maritime
segments are both actively taking
steps to become more eco-friendly.
there are dual drivers here to progress:
firstly the willingness to reduce
environmental impact itself, and also the
economic arguments associated with
improving fuel economy and improving
turnaround times. We are working
closely with customers, understand
the challenges that they face and are
tailoring our offering accordingly for
these segments,” he explains.
the airports, ports and energy sectors
have grown substantially in recent
decades. In addition, the Middle east
has not only invested heavily but has
also experienced an upward trend
as far as infrastructure development
is concerned. “If you look at KsA,
oman, UAe, Qatar and Kuwait, all are
expanding their infrastructure to cater
to growing demand. this is as area
where we are especially strong. We
see this as an area with considerable
potential and we will continue to focus
on it in future,” says Strommer.
cavotec’s success is, in part, based on
investing in long-term relationships
“that drive projects forward and
help improve safety, efficiency and
sustainability at a vast diversity of
applications worldwide.”
Strommer concludes: “the Middle
east market has provided ample
opportunities, especially for cavotec.
It is a buoyant market despite all the
challenges and difficulties affecting the
region. considering this, I feel that the
Middle east is doing well, and we hope
to see the region develop strongly
over the next few years.”

AutomAted HorizontAl trAnsportAtion 3.0
o industry would today handle a large amount of unitised
packages without automation. the car industry has used
it for decades, so has the food and beverage industry.
more and more logistic terminals use automation, as well
as airports to handle the baggage. the port industry use
automation for stacking, but why isn’t automation more
frequently used for the transportation between the quay
and the stack, also called the “Horizontal transportation”?
even though the question is rather simple, the answer is
not as easy. there are several factors that need to be
considered, such as:
z CApeX
z opeX
z productivity
z implementation risks
this article will compare existing AGV systems with new
developments.
tHe pioneers (Version 1.0)
in the late eighties, eCt delta terminal in rotterdam took
a decision to build a fully automated container terminal.
they automated rail mounted Gantry cranes (rmG) and
used them as Automated stacking Cranes (AsC). they
combined these AsC with a number of Automated Guided
Vehicles (AGV). The way ECT solved this first version of
the automated horizontal transportation was considered
as the industrial standard for at least 15 years and in some
cases it still is.
today eCt delta terminal is divided in three separated
terminals and together these three terminals use approx.
300 Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV). these vehicles are
carrying the container directly on their back and are usually
called “piggy back AGV”. due to that they are not able to
unload/load any containers by them self, they will need to
wait until the Quay Cranes (QC) or AsC has done the job.
during the last 10-15 years, at least three (3) additional
terminals has been built using more or less the same
concept and another two (2) are on their way to be
commercialised (as per January 2015). the major
difference between the eCt concept and the newer
terminals is that the vehicles no longer operates in-gauge

on how to handle the transport of containers.
during these years over 50 000 trailers has
been produced and delivered to customers
all over the world.
in 2006 the management took a decision
to redesign the trailers. A complete new
modular design was created and is today
used through their complete portfolio of
port products. in a later stage these trailers
where designed with a driver’s cabin and
exchangeable power-packs. this new
vehicle, also called Automotive terminal
trailer (Att) was presented for dp-World
for the first time already in 2009 and today
approx. 100 vehicles are in operation all
over the world.
too many people are getting injured in our
line of business, which has been something
that these French engineers have tried to
reduce. the cabin of the Att has been
constructed to take a vertical load of 80t
without getting crushed. if a container is
dropped or misplaced, the cabin is been
built to absorb the chock-load cabin
without hurting the driver. it will just be
moving vertically and since it’s placed
in-front of the drive axle, there is enough
space between the cabin and the ground
to handle this movement.
tHe poWer oF your dreAms
The first delivered ATTs were built with
hydraulic drives, using a diesel/hydraulic
power pack. there are today 48 vehicles
operating in the terminal of Apmt in
Tangier, with this configuration. The
terminal operator has also purchased three
extra power packs and by exchanging the
power packs the preventive maintenance
can be perform without having the vehicles
been taken out of operation. the availability
of these fleet of ATTs is close to 99%
(between the legs of the QC), instead the use the
QC’s back-reach and an automated second trolley
that is only loading/unloading AGVs.
deCouplinG (Version 2.0)
As mentioned above, the loading/unloading of
containers on an AGV is always performed by a
crane. However, in 2007 the first “decoupling” AGV
was presented. With a number of fixed steel racks
under the AsC and with a lifting table on top of the
AGVs, the AGVs can now unload or load containers
by themselves (version 2.0).
the AsC places a container on one of these steel
racks located at a transfer points (tp). the AGV
would then enter under the container at the tp
with a lifting table in its lowest position. By raising
the lifting table, the containers would now rest on
the vehicle’s lifting table, instead of the steel racks.
the vehicle drives out of the steel racks, but before
continuing to the holding lanes, it would need to
lower the lifting table due to stability reasons.
the decoupling is however only established under
the stacking cranes and as per today the only
proven decoupling under the QC is done by straddle
carriers. there has been an idea of using AGVs in
combination with pallets. the concept has also been
proven to be highly productive (by simulation),
however never tested in reality.
in 2012 two major terminal operators took the
decision to build one terminal each in rotterdam,
based on this new AGV concept. due to the fact that
these new terminals haven’t started their operation
yet, it’s difficult to see how the new concept
performs. What is known however is that the number
of vehicles needed to keep up the QC productivity
is dramatically decreased, since the AGV’s waiting
time at the AsC is more or less eliminated.
tHe CreAtiVe mind oF FrenCH enGineers
in the small town of Héricourt, in the French country
side outside Belfort, the engineers at Gaussin have
designed vehicles and trailers for more than 135 years.
As one of the first supplier to the container business,
they have during these years an extensive knowledge

and thanks to the “stop and start”
technology the fuel consumption
is been reduced with approx. 40%
compared to traditional prime
movers. last year, Apmt tangier was
appointed as the “the terminal of the
year” within Apm terminals.
BuFFerinG (Version 3.0)
the result of removing the cabin
from an Att lift, is what Gaussin call
an Automated intelligent Vehicle or
what the market call an lift “AGV”.
similar to the lift AGV, the AiV
lift will be able to load and unload
container by itself under the AsC by
means of docking stations. the major
difference between the docking
stations that has been built for ver.
2.0 in rotterdam is their height.
similar to the Att lift, the AiV lift
uses the suspension to adjust the
vehicle height, while the lift AGV
uses a sax-lift on top of the vehicle,
which makes increases the vehicle
height. due to this lifting mechanism
as well as the delta shape frame
construction, the total weight of an
AiV lift is considerably lower than
for a lift AGV and so is the steel
weight of a docking station for a fleet
of AiV lifts.
Another major difference is the ma-
noeuvrability of these vehicles, since
the AiV lift rotates both the front-
and rear axles ± 45°, while the lift
AGV turns its wheels similar to any
ordinary truck.
ControllinG tHe Fleet
An AGV system is never better
than the Fleet management system
(Fms) controlling it. this is why
Gaussin has created a Joint Venture
with BA systemes , located close to
rennes in heart of Brittany, France.
BA systemes has over 40 years of
experience building complete AGV
systems (i.e. both the vehicle and
the control software) and with over
250 different applications worldwide,
they are considered to be one of the
most well established suppliers within
their business field. The new JV will
be called port Automation systems
and will only be focusing on port
automation by using the knowledge
and know-how of BA-systemes.
tHe ConClusion
this article has clearly shown that
there are new available technologies
that are highly productive and to
a much lower operating cost. the
lower amount of vehicles needed to
maintain a high productivity as well
as a lower price on these vehicles,
reduces the capital cost. don’t forget
the increased stacking area that
will increase the terminals yearly
turnover. even if we can present
some great advantages cost wise,
there is always the difficulty for a
newcomer to prove himself in a new
market, especially the conservative
business of handling containers.
Gaussin is aware of this and has
therefore decided to invest in a
demonstration site close to their
headquarters in Héricourt, France.
the size of this demonstration site
will allow a number of lift AiVs
to be operating fully automated,
transporting containers from a
docking station under a rtG, to a
second rtG crane acting as a QC.
The fleet of AIV Lift will of course
be controlled by port Automation
system’s Fms, which will receive
orders from a tos.
the site will also have a number of
lift Atts transporting containers
between the same docking station
under one of the rtGs to a single lane
docking station that is considerably
narrower, where a straddle carrier
will be picking up the container and
load a truck. the demo site will be
ready by the march 2015 and Gaussin
intend to invite the press, customers,
agent, dealers and investors for an
open day in April.
don’t worry if you haven’t received
an invitation, you will be able to see
it all during the toC europe event

emiSSionS-free Shore-To-Ship connecTion SySTem
ports are often perceived by the local community as a
source of pollution and noise, and the issue is often linked
to the emissions generated by ships at berth. indeed, ships
account for 6% of Sox, 15% of nox and 2% of global co2
emissions. They will have to meet new regulations outlined
in marpol 6, which was drawn up by the imo and a number
of pioneering countries.
Ships and ports need to invest in new technology to
reduce pollution and to be compliant with these stricter
regulations. a number of solutions are available but the
shore connection technology is the only one that can cut
all emissions from ships at berth.

and quality standards as well as return

Manufacturing a tire is a complex process
that requires remarkable engineering skills
along with advanced technology. Many
different production processes need to be
streamlined: From compounding fabric,
steel cord and inner liner calendering,
bead production and assembling, tread
and sidewall extruding, up to the actual
building of the green tire and final curing. In
BKT’s state-of-the-art production plants,
a high level of automation is applied to
ensure the excellent performance expected
from a premium tire.As a result we are able
to provide tomorrow’s tires today.
TALENT FOR INNOVATION, R&D
DIVISION
In our R&D division, researchers, engineers
and technicians closely cooperate in
several teams and departments across our
production sites.
Talent for innovation is a core competency
of the BKT Research and Development
Division and is one of our company’s strengths.
Investments in R&D are a fundamental key to
success to compete in a complex global
market with rapidly evolving needs. For this
reason, we invest about 3-4% of our annual
sales into R&D.
At our headquarters in Mumbai, all
Research and Development activities
are coordinated. The central R&D
department has modern workstations
for design and advanced software
simulations. These enable us to evaluate
every tire feature down to the smallest
detail.
The R&D Center in Chopanki hosts several
laboratories cooperating closely together
at every stage: An analysis laboratory, a
chemical laboratory, a physical laboratory
as well as an area for rigorous tire testing
including a special facility for All Steel
radial tire prototypes.

ENVIRONMENT AND CORPORATE
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)
Our choice for going green has been
recognized by the Indian Government.
We have obtained for the last three
consecutive years the National Energy
Conservation Award being conferred
to companies that distinguish by their
efficient natural resource management.
Not least, at the new Bhuj site, systems
of reduced environmental impact have
been installed including a combined heat
and power plant (CHP) for regenerating
renewable energy as well as a water
recycling plant.
Since its establishment, BKT has always
felt a great sense of social responsibility
making efforts beyond compliance
with regulations and standards. And
natural consequence of this deeply
ethical attitude and commitment was
the formation of the “BKT foundation”
in 2008. The foundation, chaired by Mrs.
Vijaylaxmi Poddar, provides funding and
support for many charitable projects and
initiatives sustained by the company.

Development Center at the Bhuj
production site hosts a special team
for developing top-of-the-range
solutions. In addition, there is a
modern testing ground for in-depth
tire performance tests simulating

adaptation to always more specific
Off-Highway applications, this new
facility is an important achievement
for our company.
As a result of our extensive R&D
activities, we design, develop and
produce about 60-80 new BKT tires
every year. Presently, the average time to market
for a new BKT tire at global level is 6-8 weeks only.
