Alphabet of Port Management Flashcards
Expected Time of Arrival
arrival
usually with the representatives of the shipping lines, arrestee and stevedoring contractors, harbor master
berthing meeting
colony of the receival programs
delivery programs
knowing the volume and tonnage of cargoes carried by vessel, provision can be made for adequate equipment to be allocated so as to ensure the smooth discharging cargoes and the loading of exports.
Equipment
The time of the finish for working a vessel must be properly timeframed no to
go beyond the time of departure of the vessel. The Estimated Time of Finish computation
must include both loading and unloading of the cargoes.
Finish
Implied here is manpower allocation. The number and the compositions will
depend on the volume and tonnage of cargoes be unloaded. Labor productivity rate is
the vital concern.
Gangs
stevedoring work.
Hatch Operation
Is the port such as physical plants, transit sheds, warehouse, offices
spaces, container yards freight station, ready-line equipment,
Infrastructure
This kind or types of cargoes and their classification is necessary in
order to make the necessary provision for their handling transfer, storage and delivery.
Kind of Cargoes
help the clients to readily trace the where about
of their importations
Location System
Makes unloading and loading operation more productive
Marshalling
A port is a node of in the International network serving trade and commerce. A
port is a node that serves an entry point for materials, whether finished or raw, needed
by a nation and its people, but which are not produced locally and at the same time

major phases of operation (imports)
Receive
Transfer
Storage
Delivery
major phases of operation (exports)
receiving of cargoes at the gate;
the storage of cargoes at the sheds or even at
the leased areas of shipping companies within the port;
transfer to the marshaling yard
or the loading area; actual loading in board the vessel.
receive
storage
transfer
loading
rate not be
lower than 14 metric tons per gross gang hour in the case of conventional gang cargoes
and less than 22TEU per gross gang hour containerized cargo.
Productivity Rate
The Port Manager must make an evaluation of the service being
rendered to the shipping line and the shippers, from time to time in order to find out if
the resources of the port being used in the maximum advantages.
Quality Service
prepared in advance taking into
consideration the cargoes that are discharge direct to truck, ship side by barge. Over the
quay and those that are for transshipment.
Receival program
This is the 3rd major phase of the port operation in so far as imports are sheds,
in the warehouse, in the open-space, in the refrigerated storage areas, in the bed order
coral or in the special cargo section.
Storage
This represent the 2nd major; phase of the port operation for importations.
Cargoes are transferred from the quay to the transit and not long after from there to the
warehouse.
Transfer
The port manager must ensure that the maximum
utilization of berthing spaces is made. Likewise for container yard occupancy percentages;
also for the servicing and the maintenance of equipment to bring the time down time for them to the minimum.
Utilization of Port Facilities
The port Manager should appraise port users of PPA’s right to make visits or audits.
Visitorial Powers or Prerogatives
The provision of a proper and adequate warehousing facility is a must in port operation. Oftentimes, importers are who cannot afford the put up their
own warehouse of for paying storage fees while they make the necessary negotiations for the sales of their importation.
Warehouse Operation
heavy rain, storm, floods, earthquake, fire, strikes, power failure, equipment breakdown, all of which effect the productivity of the
port but which are force majeure and therefore out of the control of the Port manager.
Unknown factors
It is important that the port be able to provide a sufficient large back-up in order to avoid congestions in the port.
Yards Allocation
Zones must be provided for offices, operation, for storage, for equipment, for empty containers for private cars, for brokerage trucks, for marshalling
yards, for canteen service, for the port police. The Zoning System must be done in
coordination with the Traffic Routing System to ensure the smooth movement of people
and vehicles and cargoes within the port
