OPERATIONAL BENEFITS
The many SIGNIFICANT
OPERATIONAL benefits of operating Technomax ships
& docks :
- Port congestion
is eliminated = JIT always achievable
- Access to small
sea and river ports = more markets in more countries
- Barges are
preloaded at the Technomax docks = significant time saved
loading/unloading
- Barges are
trimmed by ballasting according to its load
- Double or treble
handling of each container eliminated = saving time and
transit cost
- Technomax ship
moors off-shore = zero dock fees
- Hi speed of
loading/unloading Technomax ships at Technomax docks =
less time = lower cost
- Technomax ship
has lower centre of gravity = improved seaworthiness
- Containers are
not exposed to weather = zero loss at sea
- Technomax ship
holds a mix of cargos = greater logistic flexibility
- Barges will
access smaller sea and river ports = more markets in more
countries
- Higher
utilisation of each container = less empty containers in
circulation
- Lower inventory
right through the supply chain = reduction in capital
invested
- Less harmful
emissions less pollution less energy
- Supply chain -
dock to dock shorter by days/weeks = Considerable
time saved and lower transit costs
- Faster overall
time and lower unit cost from supplier to consumer
- Attractive and
rapid return on capital invested
- New global
standard for shipping all cargos = future volume growth
will be easily handled
- Military and
disaster applications in various formats
- Humanitarian
barges, with a fully equipped hospital, positioned around
the world can be quick to reach every emergency
CONCLUSIONS
There has been a huge
growth in the worldwide use of standard containers but only a
gradual development in container ship design over the past sixty
years.
Dedicated container
ships have grown in size and capacity but these have created many
operating issues.
