A full integrated container terminal operating system customization and process optimization,
serving over seventy over seventy container terminals in the globe.
Intelligent and Optimized Planning System
It is essential to make prudent preliminary arrangements to enhance the productivity of your terminal. Suppose that you need to save time and efforts to adjust your plan to meet real operational situation, even you carry out more detailed and precise planning? Your plan has to be intelligent enough to correspond to diverse alternatives and unexpected factors during operation of the terminal. Exactly, CATOS Planning System can make this real. Let's simply trace the terminal work flow with our Berth Planning, Yard Planning and Ship Planning.
Berth Planning
Before a vessel arrives at your terminal, you can set every environment and resource such as berth, gantry crane, human, etc. ready for operation by simply inputting the relevant information and dragging your mouse across the screen which shows you the berthing schedule in powerful graphics per the period you set. Long-term Schedule Generation, one of the key functions we boast about, plan even automatically makes a berthing plan with the given information of service lane, voyage period, etc. for liners visiting your terminal.
Yard Planning
With CATOS Yard Planning System, you can maximize yard stacking capacity while minimizing time in planning. You can simply follow the planning process of Boundary Plan, Specific Boundary Plan, Positioning Rule, and Planning Pattern according to which information you possess. This intelligent concept becomes remarkable for operators who challenge for bigger volume with small yard spaces. In addition, CATOS’ powerful filtering function will ease your works such as re-marshalling, customs inspection, container damage check, etc.
Even containers that has no pre-planned yard position come into gate can be efficiently managed by CATOS Random Grounding that instantly searches and offers the optimized position where to be stacked in yard with immediate study on the container type and other relevant property as well as yard equipments' availability.
Ship Planning
CATOS Ship Planning is designed for best efficiency in ship planning considering vessel schedule, berthing schedule and any changes thereupon. Advanced features of CATOS Ship Planning include simultaneous Multi-Planning, Automatic load/discharge planning and operation simulation to elaborate crane working efficiency.
Rich in functions and user-friendly in interface, CATOS Ship Planning enables the planners to complete the task at minimum time and effort for maximum operation efficiency.
- AUTO SHIP PLANNING
Auto-Ship Planning enriches CATOS Ship Planning by providing easier and faster expert load/discharge planning. Ship planning requires well defined configuration of planning patterns such as container weight, work direction, ship stability and crane interferences. CATOS Auto-Ship Planning builds automatic crane working schedule and load/discharge planning based on those configured factors of plan patterns and constraints.

- REALTIME PLANNING
Moreover, Realtime Planning enables you to monitor up-to-date situation while you are working on the Ship Planning screen, which helps you make more strategic planning. As it is said that two heads are better than one, you can share these planning tasks with other planners since the progress of your working is reflected to the screen your partners are working on in real time.
- DOUBLE CYCLING & YT POOLING
Double Cycling is designed to minimize empty return trips of a quay crane (GC) and yard tractor (YT) For crane efficiency, the system makes crane schedule automatically that a crane executes loading and discharging job in turns according to its schedule. Double Cycling along with YT Pooling provides most optimized operation and increase quay/yard job performance as well as equipment utilization.
YT Pooling is a tool for equipment operation optimization and productivity enhancement. Instead of assigning number of YTs to specific Quay Cranes, use the YTs as a pool so that the operation allows no idle YTs and supports Quay Crane operation for maximum operation efficiency.
- CATEGORY LOADING
Category Loading is a method to load the best suited container at actual loading time. It doesn’t decide loading container sequence by container number but groups all loading containers by same property at that time to plan loading jobs. This will immensely shorten planning and operation time both. Since specific container’s cell position is decided at actual loading, it gives a lot of flexibility in operation and enhances productivity.
