Abstract
The development of maritime transport and the increasing global movement of containers
brought to the port environment, the logistical challenges of operational planning. To
overcome this challenge, it is necessary to approach the concept of logistical planning for
port handling activity. In this sense, the work will demonstrate the characteristics of
vessels, equipment and implements used in materials handling and make the two cranes
used in the operation of specialized container ships: Portainer and Mobile Harbour Crane.
We will address the technologies employed in the two cranes, as well as operating
conditions and peculiarities of each. Thus, the paper aims to demonstrate the options for
streamlining and proper allocation of resources to the task and therefore increase the
productive capacity of the terminals.
Key-words: Ports, Ports Operations, Port Cranes.
1 Introduo
O avano da tecnologia do transporte martimo e o crescimento da movimentao de
contineres no mundo trouxeram uma nova dinmica no ambiente de transporte martimo
e, sobretudo, na movimentao porturia. Com esse cenrio, o surgimento dos grandes
navios especializados na movimentao de contineres obrigou os terminais porturios a
buscar recursos tecnolgicos que suprissem essa nova demanda, visualizando
principalmente a reduo do tempo de execuo da tarefa, minimizando custos e
aumentando o nvel de servio prestado para os clientes.
A grande novidade no transporte de carga conteinerizada foi a adaptao dos navios para
seu transporte, at o surgimento do navio celular, que modificou definitivamente a forma
de transferncia de carga do modal martimo para o terrestre e vice-versa, introduzindo
