Myth #5: Container scheduling and decking should be done by the TOS
The business impact of RTG-AutoStrad™ terminal conversion
Rubber-Tyred Gantry crane (RTG) terminals are currently the world's most widespread type of container terminals. They offer high capacity with a relatively low initial capital investment, along with a reasonably flexible operation model that allows cranes to moved from stack to stack when needed. However, the traditional model of RTGs served by terminal tractors (TTs) offer limited options for next-generation solutions that utilise the benefits of automation while helping terminals electrify and decarbonise their operations. Kalmar AutoStrad™ automated straddle carriers offer the perfect upgrade path for some RTG terminals, enabling highly efficient use of the terminal land area with an extremely flexible operational model.
