Info

Cargo off-load of strategic sealift may be conducted by Navy, Marine, Army, or joint terminal forces and be augmented by hostnation support, civilian ship crews, and stevedores, depending on the scenario. The water terminal commander establishes reception and clearance procedures to achieve the combatant commander’s objectives. A key to efficient terminal reception and clearance operations is marshalling yards. Executive Summary commercial hire of or charter service from a third nation. Strategic lift ships will require support upon their arrival in theater. The Port Commander and/or the Military Sealift Representative needs to ensure berths, anchorages, ship arrival meetings, ship chandler services, and ship support services are coordinated for strategic sealift vessels. Based on the vessel manifest and cargo disposition instructions received at the discharge terminal the Water Terminal Commander plans for the discharge of individual ships. This planning is done in advance working closely with the transportation movement team, terminal cargo transfer companies and commercial stevedoring companies. An assessment of MHE requirements is made and the port clearance capability is evaluated. Prior to a ship’s discharge, the Water Terminal Commander will conduct a ship’s meeting with the vessel master and his staff as necessary, having a number of individuals from different organizations attend this meeting, usually calling this the boarding party. Efficient loading and discharging of vessels requires rapid and controlled movement of cargo between ship and shore. Improvements in cargo packaging, particularly containerization, increase ship and cargo-handling productivity. The cargo marshalling yard is an essential part of this shoreside operation, providing a place to hold and process cargo pending further movement. Pier space nearest the discharging vessel must be kept clear of discharging cargo to execute an efficient download, marshalling areas provide a quick means of clearing the immediate pier areas. Marshalling yards are organized to meet operational requirements with available space and are located as near the vessel, rail, air, truck cargo transfer site as practicable. 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. Cargo movement by rail, marshalling yard procedures, and security all help control, maximize, and secure the movement of cargo. CONCLUSION Water terminals are key nodes in the total distribution system that must be established to ensure the success of a military operation. Historically, approximately 85 to 95 percent of the unit equipment and sustainment cargo is moved into a theater using sealift and is off-loaded through existing seaports or water terminals. Water terminals are absolutely vii
Executive Summary viii vital to deploying and sustaining a joint force and could be among the initial key objectives seized during a forcible entry. Water terminal selection must consider all relevant factors, because sustainment will hinge heavily on the water terminal’s effectiveness. Without adequate water terminals, a geographic combatant commander’s deployment, employment, and sustainment concepts may become insupportable. Joint Pub 4-01.5
