Haha bro I am here for same reason

[@Kupkaik]

I study x-ray, i'm not even that interested in this stuff but my adhd decided to watch this and now I'm absolutely fascinated. I'm also thinking about how cool of a video game this would be, like a mobile game, where you have to load up truck by colour coordinating the truck colour with container colour and managing multiple ships coming in and out and having to move around stacks of containers to make room for move containers moving in and having to manage the in and out of containers on ships and trucks.

[@khairiazmiishamuddin2759]

As a Integrated Logistics and Management student, this video really helps me in understanding how the port works. Thanks!

[@learnlogistics]

Thanks for your feedback. We have quite a few courses here: allynintlcatalog.trainlearngrow.com/ - if you think any may help in your studies drop me an email at [e-mail] and I'll be happy to set you up with a discount coupon.

I watched this to find out how to layout a port in TheoTown, and I can say that this is extremely informative and useful.

[@BruceLouthan]

Thank you for this explanation. My only comment is that it would be very unusual for an inbound truck to drop a loaded outbound 40' container and then load 2 x 20' inbound reefer containers since these would likely be loaded containers. Highway weight limitiations in the USA restrict the weight bearing capacity to haul 2 loaded reefers on a single chassis. Also depending on the reefer type you may not be able to move 2 loaded reefers because the generator type may not be configured to do this. (belly mount vs nose mount reefer generators) Lastly, unless you were planning to lift the containers off of the chassis for unloading you could at most only unload the rearmost container at a dock and could not monitor nose mounted reefer controls due to the lack of space between the 2 containers. This is why hauling 2 x 20' loaded reefers is not done. It may also be useful to note that only anysizer chassis are capable of hauling a 40 and combination of 2 x 20' containers. these are not the most common type of chassis and are usually only owned by private carriers not pool chassis providers. Further, anysizer chassis don't claim to be able to handle 2 x loaded 20' containers. Your examples are good for basic port understanding but the complexities of chassis matching are a major issue that is being downplayed and might make a very useful addition to this operations overview.

[@learnlogistics]

A very valid comment - thank you for taking the time to write it. I did simplify a lot of the steps - notably the trucking side of things.

[@TheDaphinator]

This was very helpful. I am writing a story where one of the characters works at a port like this and I wanted to understand how it worked so thank you very much for uploading this.

[@learnlogistics]

Glad it was helpful!

Valid point - thanks

Ship to Train and vice versa are much more interesting

[@moussaomarahmed2766]

[@carolynross3281]

Why does this animation show a reach stacker lifting empties? I thought there were separate vehicles specifically for empty container handling? Can you explain the difference between ECH, loaded container handler, and reach stacker usage?

[@learnlogistics]

Hello, reach stackers can/will also be used in smaller port to move empties - the larger the port the more specialized the equipment will be. If you have a large enough port to justify the purchase of more equipment you may buy/lease some ECH as they are cheaper than stack reacher. But if do not have enough volume to keep the ECH busy most of the time you will prefer a stack reacher due to its polyvalence and capability of handling empties and loaded. And even smaller port may only used a heavy duty forklift and a larger one may rely more on gantry cranes and container chassis, not even using ECH or stack reachers. Hope this helps. We do have a short course on ports here: allynintlcatalog.trainlearngrow.com/product/how-ports-work/ and if you use the coupon you10, you can get it with 10% off.

How do they know which container to taxi to the building give to the buldings

[@simof9292]

i must do watch this video for watching season 2 of the wire hahah

[@scottsmith7051]

No train?

[@learnlogistics]

Not in this simple version, would have been overload - but you are correct than many containers could be delivered to the yard via train - offloaded in the yard by cranes and then move to quay side or vice versa in a similar manner than the animation shows.

[@spiffymagicman7284]

I'm invading Shanghai in 45 days🎉 Thanks for the info!

[@CASCAR6200]

Does each container handling/process (storing place, storing time etc.) follow strict and repetable protocol, of is it affected by human behavior?

[@learnlogistics]

Both - in larger automated ports, it will be strongly process driven [automated] whereas in smaller ports it may be down to a individual human deciding where each container will be stored. Outside factors such as a container being selected for a customs inspection may also be linked to human behavior (spot control) and may impact your otherwise systematic process. Or a container may be damaged during its transport and an individual may be called in to evaluate and decide to where the container should be sent / next steps. Hope that helps.

[@alfredyt]

I would say that is done all manually. For instance, many terminals in Europe doesn't allow cargo without customs clearance at the yard. According to Port of Discharge, type of container, or even transhipments, the stacking of containers is done considering those factors, there are more but just for the sake of explaining. There are automatic cradle carriers picking up containers from the yard, but thats all.

[@edmundengland]

Great video. What is the vehicle called that is in the animation than can lift and move these big containers from lorries?

[@learnlogistics]

Thanks a lot. It is a Reach stacker - I took a picture of one here - pixabay.com/pt/photos/log%C3%ADstica-reach-stacker-5352514/ Or you can check out our Ports training for that and more equipment reviews. allynintlcatalog.trainlearngrow.com/product/how-ports-work/ You can use the coupon "5main" to get it for USD 5.

@@learnlogistics I am developing with a board game. The theme of the game is to load containers onboard a container ship. Do you do animations as profession?

[@learnlogistics]

@@edmundengland I work on logistics eLearning course and training development, I may occasionally include an animation but I'm far from being professional or proficient - I used atomisystems.com/saola-animate/ for this animation. I also potter around with computer game development as a hobby. Nice idea for the board game -

[@sohailkhanahmed4622]

Voice, volume and slow style of speaking in this video is AWFUL so bad, slow and boring

[@howardert5251]

SUGGEST: you ought to hire a better voice actor... plenty of talent available for $200/H... someone... anyone... whose voice is not a verbal tranquilizer... also consider a low volume bass note to encourage attentiveness by viewers... nobody loves training and lessening the dull factor increases the learning... such as applying a brightened border to each object as it is discussed... there's a dozen moving bits... which is centerpoint at any given moment?

[@learnlogistics]

Thanks for the valid suggestions, will take them in consideration for future videos For the voice - I guess at least I have a "soothing voice" and a new possible nickname - The verbal tranquilizer
