Working Group Chair: Michael Schroeder

The Terminal Performance Reporting message is sent from the Terminal to the Vessel Operator and, if agreed, to each Container Operator after vessel departure from a port.

Purpose is to transmit terminal productivity data and equipment movement summary, related to the complete vessel.

The message contains following information items:

• Vessel timesheet
• Crane timesheets, Crane Delays and delay reasons
• Number of Moves per Crane
• Number of boxes load / discharge / restow broken down by Container operator, full/MT, 20’/40′
• Number of hatch cover moves

Based on this information the gross / net productivity by vessel and by crane can be calculated.

Benefits for the Terminal:

• Provide only one standard message to all container operators, versus many individual formats as before.
• To create and send the message electronically saves time and money compared to creating individual reports manually and sending by email.
• For contract negotiations, both partners have the same data source available.

Benefits for the Carrier:

• All TDR in a central database allows structured analyses, e.g. over time series
• Consistency, easy to compare different terminals.
• Save manual workload for Port Ops
• Timeliness
• Accuracy

Any questions and requests should be addressed to the WG-chair.
