Functional Areas of Multi-Purpose Terminals In the scope of this study, a terminal is defined as a single man-made facility that may have several berths for the handling of vessels. Port terminals can be constructed for transhipment of special cargo or vessel types or several types of cargo as well as several vessel types. UNCTAD defines a multi-purpose terminal as a “complex of infrastructure, equipment and services which offers a combined and flexible response to the servicing demand of certain types of vessels and cargo”.1 In such terminals, cargo and vessels within a specified range of properties can be handled efficiently. Properties can be, e.g. the condition (solid, liquid, gaseous) of the cargo, the weight of the cargo, the size of load units, the sensitivity to temperature or humidity. The field of allowed properties can for example include containers and unitized cargo and thus exclude liquid bulk cargo, dry bulk cargo, heavy unitized cargo or rolling cargo. Still, a field of allowed properties means that the terminal cannot only concentrate on handling one cargo but has to provide: Non-specialized equipment for ship-to-shore movement as well as for hinterland transhipment, storage and horizontal transport or different types of specialized equipment Non-specialized berths or different specialized berths and Non-specialized terminal areas or different terminal areas with a specialized function

Description: Goal and Course of the Study
The overall objective of this study is to identify optimization potentials for the restructuring of existing
(brownfield) multi-purpose terminals or the planning and construction of new (greenfield) multipurpose
terminals and to provide recommendations for the improvement of multi-purpose terminals
considering efficient use of financial and natural resources.
To achieve this overall objective, the work is carried out in two consecutive steps.
Additional info: Even though not typically interesting for officers/engineers - reading this high quality paper will give you "the background" of how port is organized. It will broaden your overall knowledge of arrival to port.
