Improving straddle carrier safety through operational visibility and transparency

摘要

At the beginning of this paper two questions were posed: 1. How do you achieve the implementation of best practice in a busy container terminal where the operation is spread over a wide area? 2. How do you measure the effectiveness of your efforts? In this paper we have outlined how these goals can be achieved with the assistance of industry specific well written software tools connected to on-board system to harvest the correct data. The systems restrict access to the equipment to only those trained to drive it, automatically report and alert critical situations that may require the implementation of an emergency plan, measuring certain metrics to provide benchmarking to take corrective measures, and continually evaluate the measures using trend analysis tools.
