Storage is one of the main services provided by the container terminals to its customers.
The competition between these terminals is very strong to provide the best services and
efficiency that reduces the time of containers in the yards to the low
est time. This reflects
an increase in productivity and reduction in storage costs, that is very important to the
shipping agents, so it had to work on the continuous re-preparation of the yards and
transport equipment commensurate with rapid changes and the great development in the
number of containers.
The study focused on methods of calculating the theoretical storage capacity of the
container terminals and applying them to the research terminal and comparing the results
with the actual reality and actual productivity of the fully and empty container yards, and
the global values of the modern container terminals, and calculation of the values of one of
the most important indicators of use, that is the indicators of use of yard which reflects the
efficiency of the use of available resources in the yards of the station.
