To optimize the flow of the container in a terminal demands an improvement of the efficiency in all the phases, from the ship to the truck. The system - Kho has explained - is planned for all the container marine terminals that intend to reduce the costs and to increase to the productivity and safety of the workers. Using the automation in order to insert and to remove the twistlock semi-automatic on the dock one is reduced of beyond twenty times the time necessary in order to put and to remove the appilaggio cones being diminished it at less than a second. When they are saved about 20 second ones for container is obviously an increment of the productivity, especially when ships with thousands of are unloaded container".
Cargotec has explained that the system developed from the KALP does not demand of being fed from external electric power supplies and is to emissions zero; moreover it can operate currently on the great part of the types of cones of appilaggio in use.
