Material Handling in Dry Docks.

Abstract

This is the report of a study of material handling operations in Drydock and Waterfront areas during ship overhauls. The scope of the study was too broad to allow specific recommendations. General Observations and Recommendations include: (1) Evaluation of portal crane usage and recommendations to obtain more economical cranes that are more in line with the lifting demands. (2) Proposals to provide an automated material handling system in the Drylock and Waterfront areas. (3) Proposal to develop an automatic material identification and tagging system. (Author)
