Fremantle Ports Truck Productivity Study – Update for FLC Jennifer Hall, Senior Logistics Analyst 29 August 2013
Contents • Background • Truck Productivity Indicators • Purpose of Study • Key Findings of Data Analysis • Next Steps
Background • Trucking vital to Fremantle container supply chain • Currently handles approx 85% of total Port volume • Even if rail reaches 30% road volumes will increase • Both truck numbers and efficiency are key issues • Truck Survey measures of productivity have shown a stagnation since 2006 and decline over last 2 years • Explanations for this based largely on speculation and anecdotal evidence • A number of other issues need attention: • VBS “Mad minute” • Large number of carriers • Orderly transition to 24x7
Purpose of Study • Develop reliable data on the container trucking industry • Understand what is driving carrier decisions • Identify factors impacting on productivity • Understand impacts of Terminal and Empty Park booking systems • Engage industry in defining issues and identify solutions • Assess feasibility of proposed improvement initiatives • Develop recommendation and strategy for the future • Consideration must be given to impacts on rail of improved trucking efficiency and productivity
Number of Transport Carriers March 2013 October 2012 CMS August 2011 5 9 21 79 88 18 69 17 33 43 6 8 7 125 unique carriers 139 unique carriers 142 unique carriers
Concentration of Carriers • The top 10 carriers handle 50% of the full TEU task • The top 31 handle 75% of the full TEU task, as illustrated • 111 carriers do the remaining 25% • Fremantle carrier numbers high cf other Ports Group D Group A Group B Group C
Import Export Balance • Significant imbalance in im/ex volume in WA: 50A% loaded imports, 25% loaded exports
Time of Day Accessing Terminals (TEUs per Hour, DPW & Patrick Combined)
Two Way Loading - Patrick CMS August 2011 October 2012 March 2013
Two Way Loading - DPW CMS August 2011 October 2012 March 2013
Two Way Loading – Port Precinct • Trucks per 18hr day • Theoretical two way maximum capacity of 66% (when current two way loading is combined with laden inbound) • However, balance of imports/exports per carrier, operating hours of ECPs, and other factors may restrict this August 2012
Improved TTT at Terminals • Significant reductions in average TTT since 2010 • Greater ability for operators to move through facilities quickly • Possible efficiencies gained from one-way movements rather than coordinating Container Terminal & Empty Container Park bookings
