Developments in Container Vessels, Cranes & The Shipping Industry and their Impact on Future Terminal Development Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore IAPH Asia/Oceania Regional Meeting 1st Feb – 2nd Feb 2007
Outline Background Development and Impact: Increase in Ship Size Changes in Terminal Planning Parameters Consolidation in the Shipping Industry Conclusion
Background World container throughput growing in last 10 yrs Corresponding to trends: Increasing Vessel size Changes in Terminal Planning Parameters Consolidation of shipping industry Development of Container Terminal Capital Intensive Long Lead Time
Development and Impact:Increase in Ship Size ? TEU Capacity = 30% 2006 EMMA MAERSK 2004 to 2006 11,000 TEUs, LOA=397m, B=56m, D=16m 2005 9,178 TEUs, LOA=337m, B=45.6m, D=15m 2004 8,468 TEUs, LOA=334m, B=42.9m, D=14.5m
Development and Impact:Increase in Ship Size Current Statistics: Maersk – Deploying 7 (11,000 TEUs) vessels by 2008 CMA-CGM – Ordered 8 (11,400 TEUs) vessels in Sep 06 Samsung Heavy Indus. (SHI) – Developed a 12,000 TEUs ship design SHI and Lloyd’s Register – Developing design for a 14,000 TEUs ship
Development and Impact:Increase in Ship Size MPA’s Findings (in consultation with shipping lines): LOA: Limited by avail. size of dry docks around the world = 400m
Development and Impact:Changes in Terminal Planning Parameters Ship Draft: Based on UKC of 0.3m alongside and 0.9m in the fairway: Max. vessel draft = 15.7m Req’d fairway draft = 16.6m If vessel draft continues to increase: Extensive dredging / upgrading req’d to accommodate the newer vessels Avg berth depth alongside = 16m
Terminal Area per Berth: Depends mainly on yard capacity requirement Development and Impact:Changes in Terminal Planning Parameters Increased no. of boxes per quay length Assuming same yard productivity Larger Vessels Bigger Yard Area Stacking Higher
Quayside Operations Dictate speed of loading/unloading Adopting new technologies Terminal Operating Norms: A set of rules governing the operations in the terminal Larger vessels Review & revise operating norms Development and Impact:Changes in Terminal Planning Parameters
Development and Impact:Consolidation in Shipping Industry Trend: Consolidation of shipping lines Greater bargaining power by such mega carrier operators Terminal operators will have to be prepared to deal with mega carrier operators to design terminals to custom suit their needs
Conclusion Trends expected to continue and should be factored in the development of port master plan. Greater co-ordination between classification societies, shipyards, shipping lines required to project ahead and plan for various scenarios
