Abstract
The organizations connected with ocean container freight make own all efforts toenhance their service competences. In this trend, ship's enlarging is one of major measures. Upsized ships require improving port facilities, which contain enlargement and speed-up of quayside container cranes.
In order to seek appropriate measures, I measured motions of the Post Panamax size container crane in the Port of Shimizu. Based on the observation data, I formulated a numerical model on the motions and the cycle times of container crane, and verified that calculated cycle times by the numerical model conformed measured one. We made the sensitivity analysis on the performance indices of the crane and on the pose times in the container handling to the cycle time.
