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.
Container transportation is one of the essential elements of modern ren aissance in
shipping business in the world. Due to its extremely important, most countries have
focused (especially the developed ones) on development of their maritime fleets
and ports,
in order to be able to keep up and keep the remarkable development and extremely rapid
progress in containerization technology.
Port capabilities should be commensurate with the developments in maritime transport
fleets and their transport patterns represented by container vessels that require advanced
port services such as high efficiency of workers and cranes, and modern and fast
performance specialized equipments, and modern electronic systems.
The study addressed the basic criteria for the level of services in the container terminals
that have been identified in the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
UNICTAD 2012, These criteria were applied to Lattakia International Container Terminal
(LICT), where the relative waiting time ε and productivity coefficient (P) were
calculated for the duration of the ship's stay in the port, and the statistical indicators of the
times of ships at the Lattakia International Container Terminal and the container handling
rates was studied during the period Extending from 2014 to 2017, The study concluded
that the average wait time relative ε achieved the value of 0.0553, which put it at level B
which is the second level of four levels, A, B, C, D, in addition to the level B is also
achieved by productivity coefficient (P) and the value of 54.4 during the The study period.
Multi-modal transport is a new legal transport system that aims to develop and activate the international transport of goods, it has become an essential part of the global supply chain which is essentially based on safety and quick delivery of the pr
oduct from producer to consumer through a combination of highly efficient operations and logistics services in various countries of the world.
This paper deals with the subject of multi-modal transport and the possibility applied in Lattakia port as it is the first container port in Syria. It also tries to describe the reality of Lattakia port, study and analysis the multi-modal transport elements as a network of roads and railways connecting the port inland areas and free zones to the neighboring states. The research also addresses the technological infrastructure in the container terminal of Lattakia port and focuses on the work of the customs administration, as the reform of the customs work and automatization of the fundamental factors are important for the establishment of an effective multimodal transport. Based on the results, the research presents some recommendations to activate the multi-modal transport and make Lattakia port an essential link in the logistical chain of regional and international transport.
Maritime transport is considered to be one of the most liberal and open industries having really complicated and sophisticated market systems. This sector is prominent in international spread and intensive in capital.
It significantly contributed to
the development of international
economy in general and to economic globalization in particular.
Maritime transport is known for embracing almost all new trends in information technology and telecommunication in which they have become the basic features that characterize the global maritime transport sector and essential factors to enhance and upgrade the capacity of seaports due to maritime need to speed in shipping and the follow up of shipments across the countries as well as accuracy and safety in the completion of loading and unloading inside the ports.
This research deals with information and communication
technology and its application in lattakia port in which study the real condition of IT in lattakia port with an analysis of the information system applied in lattakia international container terminal (Lict) and its utilization in internal and operational processes and the possibility to benefit from it in lattakia port.
Based on the results, this research will offer some recommendations to accelerate the automation of all joints of work at lattakia port to achieve an integrated electronic management of the port of lattakia.
This research addresses an important economic issue, which is the subject of partnership between the public and private sectors in economic facilities management, this research discusses the participatory experience in the maritime transport sector,
specifically in Lattakia port.
The research will address the reality of Lattakia port situation and its role in the Syrian foreign trade and the reasons for the application of participatory management of containers activity and targets set by the port company, and the nature of working in Lattakia container terminal.
The research aims to assess the experience of participatory in Lattakia port, through the analysis the nature of Lattakia international container terminal(LICT (company, and results achieved during the first three years, and the benefits that Lattakia port company achieved by the application of participatory, and will search to the important results and some recommendations for the development experience of participatory in Lattakia port particular, and the maritime transport sector in general.
