Container terminals are very complex and highly capital intensive. They must be well managed to realize their potential capacity and to deliver a reasonable level of efficiency and service performance to their customers. A robust management system cannot be achieved without the IT system(s) – in the case of container terminals; it is usually a TOS system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The advancement of IT provides a wide range of options for the container terminal<\/a><\/a> operator to computerize its management systems. It can range from a simple data entry and retrieval system to a highly sophisticated computer directed real-time operating system with automation options. The choice depends on the size and capacity of the terminal, the operational setup and its projected growth in the medium term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A <\/a>container management system<\/a> is also known as a <\/a><\/a>terminal operating system (TOS)<\/a> which aims to control the overall movement and storage<\/a><\/a> of various types of cargo (in this case container) within a container terminal<\/a><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A container terminal<\/a> system<\/a> enables container terminals to make better use of its assets – labor and equipment – and to promptly (or real-time) retrieve information, which allows more timely and cost-effective decision making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Modern and large container terminals are managed by TOS systems, to cope with the high complexity of business processes and supply chain requirements.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Container terminals are very complex and highly capital intensive.
