Exploitabilita of the Port Container Terminal Stacking Area Capacity in the Circumstances of Increased Turnover

Speaking of a port container terminal successful functioning, one of the basic prerequisites certainly concerns appropriate capacity determining for individual elements and their mutual harmonization. Stacking area, a subsystem within the port container terminal system, represents one of essential elements affecting the terminal operation efficiency. Thence the significance of the stacking area capacity dimensioning and the need for consideration of basic features and technological processes going on between the stacking area and the other terminal elements. In determining the port container terminal stacking area optimum capacity, the stacking area efficiency and its static and dynamic capacities represent the basic prerequisite. A stacking area capacity dimensioning should follow the berth capacity, since depending on the type, number and size of containers required to be stacked after unloading. In this paper, authors have carried out a study on the port container terminal stacking area operation indicators obtainable by means of the queuing theory. As a result of the analysis carried out in respect of stacking area capacities and operation indicators based on the existing container terminal turnover, it should be decided whether the stacking area capacity satisfies the existing turnover requirements or its capacity should be extended. An example of the port container terminal stacking area exploitability assessment methodology has been given in respect of the Port of Rijeka container terminal stacking area.
