      1.1 Terminal , Meaning of Terminal, Ports, Major ports and Minor ports

      Terminal:

      Terminal refers to a facility or location where goods or passengers are transferred between different modes of transportation. It serves as a point of arrival, departure, or transfer, connecting various transportation networks.

      Terminals can be specialized for specific purposes, such as container terminals, ferry terminals, airport terminals, or railway terminals. They are equipped with infrastructure, equipment, and services necessary to facilitate the efficient movement and handling of cargo or passengers.

      Meaning of Terminal:

      A terminal is a designated location or facility where the origin, destination, or transfer of cargo or passengers takes place. It serves as a hub for the interchange of goods or individuals between different modes of transportation.

      Ports:

      Ports are facilities or locations along coastlines, rivers, or lakes that provide harbors, docks, or terminals for ships to load and unload cargo, as well as embark or disembark passengers. They are essential nodes in the global transportation network and play a crucial role in international trade and commerce.

      Ports can accommodate various types of vessels, including container ships, bulk carriers, tankers, and passenger ships. They typically offer a range of services, such as cargo handling, customs clearance, warehousing, and maritime logistics.

      Major Ports:

      Major ports, also known as seaports or gateway ports, are large and strategically important ports that handle a significant volume of maritime trade and cargo. They are usually located in major coastal cities and serve as key entry and exit points for international trade. Examples of major ports include the Port of Singapore, Port of Shanghai, and Port of Rotterdam.

      Minor Ports: Minor ports, also known as secondary ports or regional ports, are smaller ports that handle relatively lower volumes of cargo compared to major ports. They are typically located in smaller coastal towns or regions and cater to regional or local trade needs. Minor ports play a vital role in connecting smaller markets and supporting coastal communities' economic activities.

      The distinction between major and minor ports may vary based on regional or national contexts, as the classification can be influenced by factors such as cargo volume, infrastructure, and economic significance within a particular region or country.

      1.2 Terminal Operation , Forecast, Unit and Factor (TEU)

      Terminal Operation:

      Terminal operation refers to the activities and processes carried out at a terminal, which serves as a transfer point for various modes of transportation, such as ships, trains, trucks, and airplanes. It involves the handling, storage, and movement of cargo, as well as the provision of related services.

      Terminal operations typically include tasks such as:

      Cargo Handling: Loading and unloading of cargo from transportation vessels or vehicles using specialized equipment like cranes, forklifts, and conveyor systems.

      Storage and Warehousing: Temporary storage of cargo within the terminal premises, ensuring proper inventory management and security.

      Customs and Documentation: Facilitating customs clearance processes, including inspections, documentation, and compliance with import and export regulations.

      Terminal Infrastructure Maintenance: Ensuring the proper functioning and maintenance of terminal infrastructure, including berths, storage areas, roads, and other facilities.

      Intermodal Connectivity: Facilitating the seamless transfer of cargo between different modes of transportation, such as from ships to trucks or trains.

      Terminals can be found in various transportation sectors, including maritime, air, rail, and road. Each terminal is designed to handle specific types of cargo and accommodate the requirements of the respective transportation mode.

      Forecast:

      Forecast refers to an estimation or prediction of future events or trends based on historical data, statistical models, and other relevant factors. In the context of terminal operations, forecasting plays a crucial role in planning and decision-making processes. It helps estimate the expected demand for services, such as cargo handling, storage capacity, and transportation, enabling terminals to allocate resources effectively and efficiently.

      Unit and Factor (TEU):

      TEU stands for Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit, which is a standard unit of measurement used in the shipping industry to quantify cargo capacity. It represents the size of a standard shipping container, typically measuring 20 feet in length. TEU is used to calculate the volume or capacity of container ships, terminal storage, and throughput.

      Throughput of Terminal:

      Throughput refers to the total amount of cargo or goods that passes through a terminal within a specific period, usually measured in terms of weight or volume. It represents the operational capacity and efficiency of a terminal and is a key performance indicator in evaluating its performance.

      Water-side Area:

      The water-side area of a terminal refers to the portion of the terminal that is directly adjacent to the water, such as a harbor, port basin, or waterfront area. It is typically where vessels dock for loading and unloading operations. Water-side areas are equipped with berths, piers, quays, and other infrastructure necessary for ship handling and cargo operations.

      Land-side Area:

      The land-side area of a terminal refers to the portion of the terminal that is located on land, away from the water. It includes facilities such as storage yards, warehouses, container yards, trucking and rail facilities, administrative buildings, and other infrastructure needed for cargo handling, storage, and inland transportation.

      Throughput of the Stack:

      The throughput of the stack refers to the rate at which containers or cargo are moved in and out of the container stacking area within a terminal. It represents the efficiency and capacity of the terminal's container storage and retrieval operations. The throughput of the stack is a critical factor in ensuring smooth cargo flow and minimizing container handling delays. It is influenced by factors such as equipment availability, yard management systems, and operational processes.

      1.3 Storage capacity and Technical handling capacity

      Storage Capacity:

      Storage capacity refers to the maximum amount of goods or cargo that a storage facility, such as a warehouse or terminal, can hold at a given time. It
