Have you ever wondered how a shipping container port works? Find out in this video! From unloading a cargo ship, to loading containers into a container storage yard, to getting them on the truck, this video explores the processes of intermodal transport.
It also explores how automation might disrupt the shipping industry, and what challenges implementing automation in container ports presents. How container ships work, and subsequently how container ports work is fascinating, so join me to find out!

As someone who has worked in the maritime industry for nearly 15 years, this is a great introduction to the industry.
Showed this to my son and daughter after they asked about containers on a train!
Thanks for the video
Awesome !!! Since I was a child, my dad used to take me from the ports (Long Beach), following the dozens and dozens of trucks North to LA, Industry, and San Bernardino. He’d show me what a distribution facility is, then he’s say ‘those trucks that have names on the (Target, Walmart, grocery stores) are for distribution. Then a few days later, he’d follow the truck that says Target or Walmart on it to the store, where they’d unload it. Then we’d go in the store, ands how me how they stock the shelves. Today, I have a college degree, but I am constantly fascinated by the process (Ports, Distribution, Stores). Of course, there’s manufacturing and sourcing supplies, whether it’s food crops or minerals.
Yeah it’s interesting. I’ve taken a couple classes in global supply chain and for some of our assignments we are required to watch videos like these. I’m impressed by how massive some of the ports are
Shipping container yard simulator 2019 I’d play that game
Lol if that were a thing it'd be a $30 game with $300-worth of DLC. Worth it.

I'm a software engineer/entrepreneur and currently in the process of developing a seaport simulator (tycoon game). Its first feature shall be the full implementation of a container terminal (including intermodal operations to truck/train). As I'm currently researching port operations (for realistic simulation), I'd love to reach out to you and discuss your expectations for such a game.
Note: I'm still gathering requirements. It's going to take me at least 6 months to create something presentable.
@@Sayath2 wonderful
@@Sayath2 how is your project going?
@@jankeessteenbergen I've completed a lot of design documents. I'm currently working on the implementation. Though the last 5 months haven't been as productive as I've hoped. A previous customer (consulting & software engineering) had an urgent situation for which I was paid handsomely to 'fix'. That occupied a lot of my time. On the bright side, it adds some nice cushion in terms of funding.
I work in transport and logistic so I've seen the digitalization and automation process in the course of my career. As of now it has only brought benefits.
Honestly the need for human supervision and decision making will not disappear in the future. There are a lot of technical and legal variables that impact the export and import processes on very short notices where you need someone to take the correct action in a matter of minutes. I talking about normal operations.
When you have emergencies (eg whether, incidents, etc) well human oversight is even more important.
In case compliments for the video, I don't see very often people providing correct info about the magical world of shipping and forwarding
How many are/were actually longshoremen? How much experience? Less than ten years, do some more time and come back to tell me all about it.
I love everything about containers, ports and cargo ships, everything
Thanks for this movie. I will definitely use this several times by speaking with my students.
Education. Homework. Import/Export Fundamentals.
I'm glad I'm not the only one curious about this and there's a whole educational videos on this 😁
I love the fact that im wathcing this the same time the Evergreen got stuck in the Suez Canal
Great video man! I’ve always wondered how these ports were organized.😁
Imagine these containers have graffix arts like Hello Kitty or advertisement on side. That's revenue right there, especially for rails, lol.

Insightful video that doesn't tire the viewer. Excellent work!!
Awesome explained, our teacher showed us your video as educational content.
You've gotten among the finest videos.
Thank you so much! I learned so much in this video! Thx again!!
Well done, and very informative, in a relatively short time span.
I'm watching because I think we should be able to have little cranes inside our homes to transport things between different rooms, like groceries from the garage to the fridge or dinner from the stove to the living room, like the way shipyard cranes work. If you think that sounds crazy, remember that human laziness is an incredibly powerful force.
How will you have the strength to open a jar?
Someone is lazy!!
Wow! That was a fantastic video. Really interesting. I pass by our Sydney, Australia Ports often. I was always curious to know how it works.
This was very helpful to me. A middle east port is looking to add quantum computer speed up to their port operations. Whereas I understand quantum computers and how to solve their problem, I learned the and intermodal logistical lingo here.
Very interesting and informative video! Thank you:)
Hi TTK, I'm loving your channel, I'm enjoying all of your videos and I think every video you've made so far is super interesting. I have nothing negative to say about anything you've created so far, Your voice is clear and precise, your information and content is an educational glimpse into relatively untouched territory, which is not only unique in itself but also, I suspect unique to you and the path you're creating for your future. Keep up the great work and keep believing in yourself because I'd hazard a guess that whatever lay ahead for you, will be bright. Looking forward to whatever the next curtain you pull back will reveal.
Thanks Grant! Hopefully you can see some improvement from the first videos to now. Very glad that you've enjoyed it so far, thanks for letting me know!!
@@TicketToKnow Hey TTK. Improvement - Absolutely. You should know you've been good from the start though. Don't let yourself get too caught up in people's random comments about what they expect of you. Just be yourself, grow naturally and learn as you go along. The rest will work itself out. I'm not blowing smoke, what you're doing is really good.
very well explained with good photos,videos and animation. Thank You!
kartika tanwar Hey are you interested in logistics field there are few courses in india
Glad to see this, I thought it was just me having a fascination with container ports. Lol, not sure why, though I suspect it has a lot to do with the coordination and logistics planning. I think I could sit near one and watch the transforming operations for hours. Excellent information, thanks for posting.
Same here, I drove down the coast of Washington and Oregon once when I was like 14 and have been fascinated by these yards and gargantuan ships ever since. I always felt like it was a strange thing to be so mesmerized by so it’s cool to see how many other people are too
I agree, I myself like to look at container terminals from google maps, for example, Sri-Lanka, etc)
@@seezesea5766 Then imagine that the US doesn't even receive the very largest vessels :)
Very informative. Thank you
It is an excellent video that clearly shows that the process of loading and unloading a container requires a great logistical capacity and equipment to be competitive, that many ports and intermodals have, although only some can be considered mega constructions.

Very simple explanation, thx
Thanks for video. Very interesting
I respect the automation reminder at the end
This is a cool video I am a longshoreman and I move cargo
I often wondered just how the containers were stacked, I personally knew nothing I learned today. Thanks for sharing
Nice video man!!
when I'm watching on RUclips it is really make me now about container ship. good video and good voice man. 😊
Great video, but there is a lot more to this. I was tech lead for a intermodal terminal operating and transport system for 3 years. In addition to just stacking the containers efficiently, there is also the problems of responsibility. Often containers are picked up by unknown parties due to the way transport is structured, so knowing where to stack a container becomes a probabilities game. You often don't know till a day in advance whether the container will leave again by ship, train, or truck. And then there is ofcourse bayplanning: you can't just load up a ship randomly since it might topple. You have to load by destination location, container size, and weight. Then there are problems like empty equipment control: empty containers need to be stored and managed. Preferably you want reuse as close to the previous customer as possible, but orchestrating that is also quite an interesting problem. And then there are many smaller optimizations, like trying to optimize loading plans for dual cycling: a crane unloading a container should as many times as possible load a container when moving back to the ship to minimize total loading time. And then I'm leaving out all the administrative problems...
Great video, I wish this had existed back when I started in this sector.
If you ever want to know more about this, I'd be happy to collaborate on a potential follow-up video, or talk to anyone about this really. It's a super interesting business. E-mail me at logistics (at) ricklubbers.nl
Educate the yard planners in some reality and make the operators and yard checkers lives a little easier. Trying to dump 40 moves into one block at once doesn't usually go quick or problem free. Traffic control is everything, if nobody is moving, nobodys happy. Fucking admin...
@@reeferman502 or nowadays yards are already at 90%+ capacity and you really dont have a choice where you wanna dump the containers... just wherever the available space is
Cheers Mate!
Wow! Great video!
So helpfull thanks.
wow thats really cool how that works
Thank you
Fascinating and informative. Cool 😎
Thanks for beneficial information
i beggin to work as a Security yard officer
but im going soon to apply for VST
man i like this job
i hope in the future i get my license for become a Crane container operator
Смотрели всем селом!
From industry experience, I can tell you those automated Bomb Carts and RTG's move less then half the speed of a human operator. Requiring you to own at least twice as many to get the same amount of cans per hour output.
But, they work pretty much 24/7. Slow and steady...
They are probably slower but are more stable in continuous work. For example, an operator "X" can move 25 containers per hour in a shift of 6 hours or say 8 hours, then the operator "Y" has the next shift and moves 20 Containers per hour and if you have a 3rd shift this operator may only move 15 containers per hour. Not to mention if the operator has a headache, or is ill, or has problems at home or need to go to the bathroom on his shift, etc. An automated RTG has none of those. Probably move 18 containers per hour (it move more), but they are constant, at the end of the month, the automated RTG will have moved more containers than the human operators.
The only thing the human can beat is the diagonaal line the software has a problem whit that move.
That is why there are still human crane operators.
The rest is all automated and way faster than human operators.
Automated ones work 24/7/365, no sick no annual leave, no complaining
thanks man!
I loved the video, very useful for my next english class ;)
Definitely
Fascinating
This is a good video i like it.
Very educative 👌👌👌👌
Great video
Excellent.
LA/LB longshoreman here.. good ,informative video. But you forgot the dropping of the lashing, the planning by the clerks, the unloading by the swing men, and numerous other jobs performed by LABOR. But not surprised to see the machines getting all the credit! Even at fully automated terminals like LBCT and Trapac, labor still moves cargo. Still nice to watch a description of an operation that is more complicated than a lot of the general public knows!
Also.. sorry I forgot to describe the problem automation brings by fully automating a port. Like the LBCT terminal I mentioned earlier in Long Beach is currently full and cannot adapt their yard like a non automated terminal can. Once a terminal automates they lock themselves in a system that is no longer flexible and they cannot get out of without having to move a lot of pieces, that weren’t meant for moving. Hire labor to work in an environment they didn’t intend labor to work in. The congestion you hear of in the news right now in LA/LB, is due to this very problem. Wonder if the companies will share this information as quickly as they share news of issues with labor.
@@xtriple0000 atta a boy
Great video. Keep it up. It does look like you mixed up the straddle carrier and the rubber tyred gantry crane though.
Good info
I thought that some ports have rail tracks going right through the port so that the container is removed from the vessel and placed directly on the rail car. This seems like the most efficient process of container movement, but I don't see it mentioned in this presentation.
Interesting!
as a container hauler. Chaos is an understatement lol
As a lasher at DP world London gateway at Coryton. Working on deck all the time. It’s nothing too exciting
May get the off stowaway every now and again but nothing too fun 😂
Like you don't even know. But thank you. Like wow. Thank you.
wtf! why you have less than 500 subs, dude you are so underrated :(
10 months later he got 47.7k
Awesome video.
Great information. Humans will still run this industry even in the years to come.
It is great to have softwares to speed up the process. Furthermore, technology and humans will walk this path for a long time to come.
Great content! But I have a question. What is the difference between a container yard and door?
The containers are locked into place on the bar through Twist locks. They consist of a landing pin that activates to tell the crane it can now lock on, then must receive a 'Lock Light' in order to allow the crane to hoist the container up off the ship. This is to ensure no box is lifted without being safely locked.
I could go on for hours lol, working at a Port the last 4 years and this is what i do 12 hours a day. Repairing/maintaining Wharf(not gantry)/RTG cranes
Do you enjoy it?
In these automated ports surely they would still need human labor for lashing right?
well , just got an offer to be crane opreater , this video helps a lot
"automating a container port is very expensive"... Port Botany in Sydney was automated and the cost was a no brainer compared to the cost of wages in Australia. Every single stevedore lost their jobs while the irony was that port was chosen due to its higher than usual labour cost because their union had given them such good working conditions.
very good, i know some discharging container opreration on the world
3:55 something my workplace needs to focus on cause it aint nice having to dig containers out
Nice video!
How much the pay per load to haul containers?
Best regards,
It can be both chaos and organized. My job has a lot to do with containers. Each container company eg. OOCL, MSC, HAMBURG, etc are assigned vessel's. Sometimes stacks contain more than one vessel so you have to dig through the lot to get to the vessel you need which can take a lot of time. Or a particular container needs to be found and it's buried behind 20 or so other containers. It can get hectic.
Wow!! Thx for telling us this. I learned today.
5:13 OMG
When I first started watching you, your videos were still very rough, but I kept watching because they were interesting. This is starting to really pay off, your videos are really improving fast, I can't wait to see where this is going.
The one thing that still slightly bothers me is the lack of intonation (though this has also improved over time.)
Keep it up, one day it will pay off!
Thanks Mister Eel! As ever I'll keep practicing and hopefully keep improving ;)
While looking at how organised its at other countrys it makes me cry. I work at a such terminal in Ukraine for over 4 years(im 24), videos like this make me understand that we leaves in the 19 or 20 century instead of 21
Logistic must move along closely with corporate business globally to ensure stadiness and remain commpettive in today and future markets. Helmi
Imagine playing shipping container solitaire. I remember how it was with a forklift when you have to move stuff to get what you need. But do you know what astronauts do when they're confronted with space issues? They call Houston.
I Drive a Container Semi truck Here in Germany
My company is based in Hamburg
I have only Seen one Port so far with these robot trucks(CTA container terminal altenwerder Hamburg)
Eurogate Hamburg uses Vancarrier only
And CTT and CTB in Hamburg are using vancarrier + gantry an rail
And unikai in Hamburg is using reachstacker
Both eurogate and NTB in Bremerhaven
And eurogate wilhelmshaven are using vancarrier only
I can just imagine turning left for downtown driving that rubber wheel gantry , top gear. 😂
Domain-driven design CargoShipping example can be better understand after watching this. Tnx.
I was expecting more of definitions of terminology like gates, berths, yards, etc, how they look like, what kind of operations are done there, who is involved, etc. This video has parts of that, but not very specific.

How do you ship containers from port to inland cities?
I am interested in logistics and shipping
I live near a port on Charleston, SC. There are literally tens of thousands of containers there at all times. Question - are they all full and either on their way in or out? Or are some empty and just being stored there?
It's a mix of full and empty boxes. Storage isn't the point of a container terminal empties come in and move out on every ship that comes to port.
haha I go to wando nct and hl everyday for work
This is showing an automated yard. I'm a longshoreman we use yard husslers and bombcarts. Also there is no more paper it's all done electronically and stacked according on when it's leaving the yard
Hi Anthony 😄
@@DevSwe hi 🙋
2:42 oi big up I drive one of them
Thank you that was very informative I wanted those people who think automation is a terrible thing our blue collar workers are the foundation if there's no blue collar workers who's going to shop at the local markets the small restaurants and stuff like that
2:35 rubber tire gantry
Are huge magnets used for unloading containers from ships
I love how it all looks like clock work, then you go to get your container thats "ready" and you sit there for 7 hours
This is the part that is being improved at the moment, also automating the entrance and exit trucks gates. In this way, you can schedule your pick up 2 hours in advance in some cases and take much less time waiting to collect the container.
They do be like that
I'm checking my work tablet now to see what containers I'm transporting tonight from the rail yard. Love this job. And the guys are getting used to seeing us ladies out there too.

What is the operational purpose of container terminal?
now we have a automated terminal at tangier morocco
I got to go to Rotterdam. I'm trying to learn the computer system
*Straddle Carrier. not rubber tyres whatever you said
Rubber Tired Gantry-not a strad.No strad l ever saw comes near even the smallest RTG. Then look at a Rail-Mounted Gantry manual or semi-automated and how much larger those are and then the actual dock gantries are at least 5 or 6 stories tall. And that would be older models, newer ones are 10 stories or higher. I have 40 years service on the waterfront so l like to think l know a bit about moving cargo.
which is that Netherlands software company that does this job?
He got one more subscriber me. Im a crane operator i unload n load container i operate a gantry crane.
Hi how can I call you about an important advertisement matter?
Transmodal also includes barges in countries like Germany or The Netherlands.
