The past two decades have witnessed the emergence of a global trading and shipping system, and within this system ports have become key nodal points serving an ever increasing volume of container traffic. The continued growth in trade volume and dynamic aspects of the world's shipping industry, such as the use of distribution channels to permit distant production and in-transit inventory management (Just-in-Time, JIT) strategies demand that ports improve their operational productivity and managerial efficiencies to enhance overall cargo handling capacity and the efficiency of their cargo handling systems.
