摘要

#$%^&*AU2017100267A420170615.pdf#####Abstract A freight transport system where Melbourne is divided into two. In the southern section shipping freight is handles via a deep water port at Hastings. Shipping freight to and from the western and northern section is transshipped at Hastings into feeder ships that discharged at Swanson dock and a new dock at Altona. The efficiency of the docks is enhanced by the Koch Consulting Group's new generation integrated container terminal (NGICT) container handling system or like system. This overall arrangement circumvents the residual problems from the channel dredging and allows remedial action to be undertaken. It also minimizes the freight traffic on the capacity constrained inner city roads.Ii 2 CarojinV Werribeeral Poic Poi~irllrjttt( CranbOtrne t t I ei~i " tinnngo t 4.b Oeentff Dock 1 Drawing 2/9 Freight distribution southern side of Melbourne
