This study aims at newly constructing and evaluating performance of the stevedoring equipment systems in terminals. The stevedoring equipments used in conventional terminals are insufficient in flexibility in their functions or design structure, and most of the stevedoring systems based on such equipments have conventional design, therefore, limited in improving the productivity of terminals both in performance and functionality. The stevedoring equipment systems in terminals, in general, can be subdivided into 4 subsystems of quay, transportation, yard, and gate system, which carry out loading and unloading works with proper facilities and equipments. In this study, a design of next generation stevedoring equipment system comprised of various stevedoring equipments which have superior performance and functionalities to the conventional equipments was proposed, and its performance was evaluated.

This paper deals with High Stacking System(HSS) development to develop a next generation port handling system for accommodating mega-sized container ships. It aims to develop the HSS that maximizes handling capacity within the limited space of the port. The system is expected to resolve the problem of yard space shortage as well as utilize innovative technology to ensure high-performance and automation at the terminal so as to enhance stevedoring productivity. The main objectives of this paper is suggesting the design concept drawing the HSS terminal and simulation analysis was undertaken taking into consideration performance of handling equipment, and port handling system Design concept drawing of the HSS terminal and will be used as base data for basic design and detailed design in actual operations of the terminal in the future. The HSS, to be applied to both conventional and new terminals, is expected to act as a catalyst for enhancing the value-added at ports.
