The Automated Terminal Equipment
Market
INSERT PARTNER LOGO
Overview
Automated equipment market
• History ‐ at first a false start, with implications.
• CTA and beyond ‐ huge growth in the number of automated terminals
• Cranes by the numbers
• Automation has changed the equipment market
• Preparing for the future ‐
automation and the market today
INSERT PARTNER LOGO
A slow start
The 1990s
• Four terminals ‐ Pasir Panjang, ECT, Thamesport, Kawasaki • Cost and productivity issues
• No real competitive market for automated equipment
• Difficult investment environment for manufacturers

A decade of testing
RMGs, OHBCs?
Racking systems and concepts
Remote control STS
Separate cabs
Automated AGV
AGV prototypes
Key terminals changed their mind
• PSA Singapore
• Kwangyang
• Thamesport
Little interest in semi-automation
Very little process automation
All or nothing approach

A changing port equipment market
Huge increase in rail mounted
cranes
In 2003 just 37 RMGs produced,
compared to 421 RTGs.
In 2006 RTG production peaked
when 15 suppliers produced over
950 RTGs
Crane production was a
bottleneck
10
INSERT PARTNER LOGO
In 2014 and beyond
RTGs still dominate - around
550 deliveries in 2014.
ASCs - 430 machines
delivered in 2014 - 2015 to 19
different terminals
Over 100 on order for 2016
and beyond
Mature straddle carrier market
- shift to low height machines

Crane suppliers
Consolidation and scale
ASCs - Crane plus drives
Automation has created a new
bottleneck

AGV market
Initially only Gottwald (TPS)
10 years between first and
generation machines
Now six terminals: ECT 350,
RWG 59, MVII 62, CTA 84,
LBCT 72, Euromax 96
Toyota 33 machines
VDL 87 machines
ZPMC 18 + ?

INSERT PARTNER LOGO
A changed market
Semi-automation with manned
equipment
Cameras
Load control and positioning
Safety, and practicality
Collision avoidance
Integrated process automation

INSERT PARTNER LOGO
A path to automation
A 25 year investment should be
“automation ready”
Infrastructure
RTGs - remote control retrofit?
STS cranes - retrofits.
