Container Terminal Standard officially launched

Port logistics are more and more challenged: More and bigger containerships than ever before are in operation. For both ships and ports, speed, safety and cost-efficiency of container terminals are key issues. The quality and efficiency of container terminals are of great importance to the smooth functioning of the global supply chain. But how to measure terminal operation performance? In a joint cooperation the Global Institute of Logistics, Germanischer Lloyd and further experts of the international container terminal logistics industry have developed a new benchmark standard to assess the effectiveness of container terminal operations.
