In the realm of maritime logistics, stevedoring stands as a vital aspect of cargo handling and transportation, encompassing both dry cargo and liquid cargo operations, including the transportation of crude oil. Amidst the complexities of the global supply chain, challenges such as port closures and congestions necessitate innovative solutions. This has led to the adoption of advanced technologies like GPS technology, cameras, and sensors to optimize port operations and enhance capacity utilization. Automated container terminals, driven by robotics and artificial intelligence, offer unparalleled efficiency and accuracy in container freight rates management and marine port services operations. With bunker fuel prices on the rise, the industry increasingly turns to automated container terminal architecture to streamline processes and minimize costs while maximizing space optimization on valuable waterfront property. This integration of technology and automation heralds a new era in cargo handling and port management, driving efficiency and competitiveness in global maritime trade.
The rise in investments in container yard infrastructure is the key factor driving market growth. Some of the major ports are increasing their container handling capacity, owing to the increasing container port traffic, through investments in the expansion and construction of new container yard infrastructure. For instance, Indian ports received a cumulative FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) inflow worth USD 1.63 billion between April 2000 and June 2021.
Similarly, in October 2021, Adani Group announced that it is aiming to make Adani Port a net-zero carbon emitter by 2025 and power all of its data centers with renewable energy by the end of 2030. Thus, such a rise in investments in container yard infrastructure developments is likely to increase the need for various container yard services. This, in turn, will drive the growth of the global container yard services market during the forecast period.
The emergence of new container storage systems is the primary trend shaping market growth. Development in international trade commodities has increased containerization activities. However, this development has led to a lack of space in container yards. Many seaports worldwide are now facing a capacity shortage, which has led to space constraints at container yards. An increase in port traffic can lead to a rise in the stacking of containers in storage yards to utilize the limited space available in the port area. Besides, when the stacking of containers is higher than the overall throughput of a terminal, many port operators focus on possible ways to manage the high volume of container demand.
Furthermore, the new system places each container in an individual rack compartment instead of stacking containers directly on top of each other. In this case, they are stored in an 11-storey rack, creating more capacity than a conventional container terminal and reducing space usage. The racking system can store more than 1,200 TEUs. The emergence of such racking systems will drive the growth of the global container yard services market during the forecast period.
Increasing congestion in container yards is a challenge that affects market growth. At container terminals, a container yard is a place where containers are stored. A container yard serves as a buffer for loading, unloading, and transshipping containers. Container port traffic has been increasing worldwide. A large number of containers moving in and out of container terminals has increased congestion and led to capacity issues in container yards.
Moreover, at container terminals, the berth and yard allocation plan assigns ships to berths and containers to yard blocks. Operations are often slowed down because of overloaded areas in the yard. In addition, an increase in container congestion in the yard adversely affects container yard services such as container handling, loading, and unloading of containers from vessels. This, in turn, will impede market growth during the forecast period.
