Europe, Especially Northern Europe
• High labor cost
• Med-high land cost
• Early interest in automation
• Labor unions have generally accepted automation– Low unemployment – Long term population decline
• High interest in sustainable operations
• Historically used straddles, but early adapters of ASC operations

Asia
• High land cost
• Low labor cost
• Low interest in sustainability
• Most terminals are high density conventional operations (RTG) or cantilever RMGs
• Fuel cost is driving switch to ERTGs

North America
• Med - high land cost
• High to very high labor cost (USWC especially)
• High interest in sustainability
• Very powerful unions that oppose automation
• High use of wheeled storage historically to reduce labor cost
• High interest in automation due to quick payback

Developing Nations
• Med - high land cost
• Low labor cost
• Low interest in sustainability
• Weak or no unions
• Ports are often low volume and limited by water depth
• RTG or top-pick operations are common
• Little interest in automation, unless part of global operator portfolio

Automated Terminal Myth-busting
• They are higher capacity? - Storage density is about the same as conventional (RTG+ side-pick) operations
• They are more productive? – Dock crane productivity is no better than good manual terminals
• The are “Greener”? - Zero emission conventional terminals are possible with ERTGs and electric yard tractors
• So why automate? Two main advantages of automation:– Labor cost savings– Increased safety

USWC Automation Issues
• Mix of greenfield and retrofit projects
• Phasing is important
• High rail fraction vs. low rail in Europe
• Ultra high density is not necessarily critical
• High labor costs make end-loaded systems appealing because horizontal transport can be automated
• Transport labor example– 3 autoshuttles replace 7 yard tractors (8 drivers incl. relief)– $4M of capital saves 16 person-years of labor per year (2 shifts per day)– @$150k/year cost per person year, $2.4M labor saved per year– 1.7 year break even on machines that last 15+ years
