Cargo handing by stevedoring companies or by other

The ports has played a more and more important role in import and export transportation since we entered into the world trade organization. Recent concerns over the development of the east Asia markets are seen to have been largely groundless. All Chinese ports has experienced stronger than expected growth during this years. Despite the regional downturn at the beginning of the years china see an increasing demand from the market in southeast Asia as well as the united states. And it is believed that building up more ports is also a factor contributing to the growth. Demand is recovering sharping and will continued to absorb planned new large-scale capacity. There development will be most clearly noted in the broader Chinese market, where capacity availability will constrain development and further sustained investment will be necessary. Whereas Chinese port handling capacity has ascended all the time and listed at the top in Asia.

The valid and fast practice of cargo handling promote the development of the cargo transportation industry. Cargo handling by stevedoring companies represent a significant step in the expansion of its marine service operating and it offers great potential for the future. More and more companies from the developed countries, such as Singapore and south Korea have been investing directly or setting up joint vertun stevedoring companies and make the cargo handling an the main item of management. Of course,stevedoring company show their advantages while doing the cargo handling.

First of all, the terminal company has invented a certain amount of fund to equip the port with professional facilities which is unique used for cargo handling. These facilities could provided the shipper with safe handling service. with the development of the technology, many companies has realized that the automatic management shorten the time for handling and bring more convenience. For example, the east-unite stevedoring company make bulk cargoes have become a big prop to its company. The largest vessel that can be anchored at any of the five berths specialized for bulk cargoes is of 55,000DWT. The company possesses thirty sets of fixed and movable bulk cargo bagging equipment for bulk fertilizer aluminum oxide and sulphur. The measurement accuracy of the bagging equipment is not over 3%.And the bagging rate of bulk fertilizer and sulphur and aluminum-oxides over 10,000Tper day. The rate of loading and unloading of bulk cargoes like iron ore and coke ect, is of over 20,000tons.

The Port of Whitby North Yorkshire, UK is a modern port capable of handling your cargo shipping requirements. They handle the usual range of cargoes and are well experienced in grain, steel products, timber and pot-ash. Vessels up to 3000 tonnes DWT can be handled on the Wharf, with the capability of handling two ships simultaneously. There are 5000 sq metres of dock space which can be used for storage of all weather cargo and a 1600 sq metre shed for weather critical goods storage. The port of Whitby is strategically placed for shipping to Europe, with very good proximity to the Scandinavian countries. And also a 25 tonne SWL crane is available on-site and is owned and operated by the port. A range of forklifts (with a similar SWL to the crane) are owned and operated by the port. The company also has the elevated transfer vehicle. The most essential equipment of the high-level cargo handling system is the Elevated Transfer Vehicle (ETV). It is designed to operate continuously and reliably, cargo movement functions include: traveling, lifting, conveying. Using the ETV, the on-board operator store/retrieves air cargo containers and pallets throughout the “container storage system”. Automatic control and absolute positioning enhances the storage and retrieval. And secondly, as the development of the cargo transportation technique, container has enjoyed a popularity in the sea transportation. Only the stevedoring company with the professional equipment can do the cargo handling well. Especially do the vast container handling.

The container express has 5 advantages:

1.     the 1^st is its stable spot(stable spot to  board and unboard );

2.     the 2^nd is its stable line (the line of transportation is stable );

3.     the 3^rd is its stable intervals (the time interv is stable );

4.     the 4^th is stable time (the arriving time of goods is stable);

5.     the 5^th stalbe price (the transportation price is reasonable), it is also quick, convenient, safe, and economic.

As the tendency of doing handling by the stevedoring company is unavoidable, and cargo handling occurred as a new industry. Meanwhile many companies have invested great capital to this item to consolidate the facilities in order to improve their capacity of competition. As we can see from the examples below, it happens both home and abroad. As we can see from the examples below, it happens both home and abroad. As of 6 p.m. Saturday, the Qingdao Port in east China’s Shandong Province had handled 100.05 million tons of cargo, up 14 percent over the corresponding period of last year. Meanwhile, the number of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of containers through the port totaled 3 million, a rise of 26 percent year on year, according to statistics from the port administration. To increase its handling capacity, Qingdao port has, over the past decade and more, expanded a century-old port area and built two modern port areas with advanced port facilities. The port now boasts China’s largest wharves for container, crude oil, iron ore and wharves for coal and grain, of world level. The handling capacity of the port mounted to 122 million tons last year, compared with the former 20 million tons annually. The number of TEUs of containers handled last year reached 3.41 million, compared with more than 20.000 in the past, ranking second in the Northeast Asia region and 14^th in the world.
