SCT - Salerno Container Terminal SpA
Salerno Container Terminal has developed a simple and efficient system for movement and allocation of all types of containers. Containers moving through the containes gates are managed by the Gate Allocation System. This system notifies the driver of the location to proceed to and simultaneously updates the Yard Control Computer of the arrival of the container. Radio-frequency is used to update the yard equipment to position the containers at the right stack-location. Salerno Container Terminal has created a quick and simple system for the handling of full import containers stocked under RTGs. After checking the relevant documentation, the Out Gate operator gives the driver an identification plate with a number on it. Meanwhile the plate number is fed into the computer system which automatically converts it into the container number and then transmitts it to the RTG operator via radio-frequency. In the meantime the identification plate has been placed on the truck window, thus allowing the RTG operator to read it. The RTG operator is then able to locate the container by the simple operation of entering the number shown on the plate and the container is then loaded on the truck.
