eliminate lost motion, reduce container and cargo handling requirements, and permit a logical flow of containers and cargo through the terminal. a. Cargo can be subdivided into any number of categories. The most widely used are general (breakbulk); containerized (general, vehicle, or refrigerated); RO/RO (vehicles, containers on chassis); and special (oversized, heavy lift, hazardous, or security) cargo. These categories and the volume in each play a significant role in marshalling yard organization. b. All marshalling yards should provide for the activities and functions listed in Appendix B, “Water Terminal Planning Considerations.” c. The organization of and traffic flow through a fixed-port container transfer facility is shown in Figure III-3. 14. Location of the Marshalling Area The marshalling area (general cargo, container, or both) is located as near the vessel, rail, air, truck discharge, or load site as practicable. Enemy capabilities and activities may require dispersion of activities or may otherwise affect selection of marshalling yard location. The marshalling yard in an existing terminal is normally next to the pier area, with sufficient pier apron (100 to 500 feet) between the yard and shipside. These distances will accommodate container discharge and clearance activities and will be more than adequate for general cargo operations. Rail spurs, warehouses, and similar facilities usually exist, but may require rehabilitation. Construction of the marshalling yard should encompass any existing hardstand, structures, and rail lines. Water Terminal Operations Execution 15. Container Stacking Configuration a. Chassis. Containers may be stored in the marshalling yard either on or off trailers (chassis). Retaining containers on chassis reduces container handling and accelerates operations, but requires a one-for-one matching of chassis to containers. Storing or staging containers on chassis also increases space requirements in the marshalling area. When containers do not remain on chassis throughout the system, one chassis for every two to three containers is needed. b. Concept. Loaded containers are stacked, after removal from their chassis, to a maximum of two high using the turret stacking method. Empty retrograde containers can be stacked five high if this height is within the capability of container handling equipment. Another space consideration is stacking collapsed flat racks. Flat racks should be stacked as high as possible by available container handling equipment to ease retrograde backloading. Although stacking containers increases handling, it also requires fewer chassis and reduces requirements for marshalling yard space. 16. Terminal Activities a. Off-load or Backload Operation. The objective of ship discharge operations is to maximize the onward movement of cargo while minimizing the turnaround time of the ship. One way to achieve this is to have the terminal tractors available and positioned properly at the cranes working the ship. To do this efficiently with a minimum of congestion, the tractors should travel the least distance possible. Each stacking area should be divided for import and export breakbulk and container cargo to make it easier to drop III-9

An inbound container should not remain in the marshalling yard longer than 24 hours. This also holds true for retrograde cargo, provided a ship is available for backloading.
