Digital transformation (DX) of ports and harbors has been promoted with the aim of solving the issues of efficiency and decarbonization of port operations. The efficiency of RTGs and other container handling machinery operations is largely dependent on the operator's skill, and there is a lack of visual representation of the technology. There is a lack of efforts to visually express these techniques. On the other hand, it is important to analyze the characteristics of skilled operators' skills and apply them to the development of remote automated loading/unloading machines in order to realize loading/unloading efficiency comparable to that of skilled operators in the remote and automated operation of loading/unloading machines. In this study, we utilized data from the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) that controls the RTG to visualize and compare the characteristics and energy consumption of loading and unloading operations performed by skilled and inexperienced operators.
