Course Description

Introduction

The most significant multimodal transportation method is the use of containers. Resulting from the container revolution Although they make up about one-eighth of the global fleet, container ships are vital to the global transportation of products. Ocean carriers collect and deliver containers from the container yard (CY), which is a physical location, and they also issue and get back empty containers. usually include a deadline in CY for the container's delivery so that it may be loaded onto the planned voyage. 

The goal of this training session on container yard operations is to give the attendees a basic grasp of how infrastructure is driven by container terminal operations and how containerised commerce drives those operations. The syllabus for the Container Yard Operation training course covers the Operations and Management of the yard as a dynamic industry. Participants in the course will gain detailed knowledge of the trends shaping the development of container yards and terminals, including the factors driving the growth in container traffic, the need for new container terminals due to evolving trade routes, larger ships, and innovative equipment.

The main points of this training course on Course N Carry Operating a Container Yard are,

  • The Container Terminal's Function in the Containerisation Industry
  • Container Ship Types and Varieties 
  • Configuration and Characteristics of a Container Terminal or Yard
  • Planning, Operations, and Management of Container Terminals and Yards
