Seaport Group contributed to the Port Metro Vancouver’s (PMV) Container Capacity Improvement Program(CCIP) on the planning / design, technology, and cost modelling.

This work carried out by Seaport Group included:

  • Technology review, related to future handling equipment–including future of battery driven lift-AGVs versus AShC, width of yard ASCs, truck and waterside interchange zones, etc.
  • Review of existing container terminal plans, and providing improvements.
  • Detailed dynamic event-based simulation of intermodal rail yard (kombiterminal).
