8. Some implications of growth –Vessel visits –Wharf-side performance indicators –Landside of port terminal indicators

9. (1) Growth in ship visits and vessel size: containerised sea freight Source: BTRE Working Paper 65

10. (2a) Wharf-side performance indicators (Waterline) are flattening out Source: Waterline, various issues

11. Source: Sydney Ports Corporation, Logistics Review 2005-06 (3b) Most truck movements occur during the peak day-time period Port Botany container terminal, 2006 Time of day – 24 hour period

12. Source: Sydney Ports Corporation, Logistics Review 2005-06 (3c) Land side of port terminal: Very few trucks pick up/ drop off containers during the weekend

13. (3a) The landside of port terminal: The business/opening hours mismatch. Ship Dock Container yard Gate Road /Rail Government Mon-Fri Day time Customer Day-time Container depot Warehouse Mon-Fri Day time Empty container park 24 hours/ 7 days at major ports The landside of port terminal Intermodal hub Mon-Fri Day time Business practices Pick-up Drop off Exporter/ Importer Mon-Fri Day time

14. Conclusions 1.Strong growth is projected in capital city ports to 2025 –Containerised sea freight – Non-containerised sea freight –Sea passenger visits 2.Implications of growth –Vessel visits are projected to increase at 4.6% pa; Vessels on average are projected to be about 1% larger; –Wharf-side performance indicators are flattening out; –Activities and practices on the landside of port terminal may provide opportunities for future/further reform.
