18-425: The terminal, opened in 2001. It covers across 983,500 square metres (10,586,306 sq ft) and can process approximately 3 million TEU 's annually. It extends along a 1,400 metres (4,593 ft) long quay wall. It can load/empty up to four container ships. Maximum draught is 16.7 metres (55 ft). The quay wall has a height of 7.5 metres (25 ft) over NN (mean sea level). With 12 million M3 sand,

36-450: A height difference between dock edge and base of the Elbe river of 24 metres (79 ft) was created. The centric container area has a capacity of 30.000 TEU takes the largest part of the surface with container connections. The area is served by 22 pairs of cranes and 53 vehicles. The terminal has nearly fully automated operations. The ship docks in one of the four couch places. One of

54-490: A maximum weight of 67,200 pounds (30,500 kg), an empty weight of 5,290 pounds (2,400 kg), and a net load of 61,910 pounds (28,080 kg). Deadweight tonnage Deadweight tonnage (also known as deadweight ; abbreviated to DWT , D.W.T. , d.w.t. , or dwt ) or tons deadweight (DWT) is a measure of how much weight a ship can carry. It is the sum of the weights of cargo , fuel, fresh water , ballast water , provisions, passengers, and crew . DWT

72-455: A ship are set so that two standard 20-foot containers have a gap of three inches, allowing a single 40-foot container to fit precisely on top. The 40-foot containers have found wider acceptance, as they can be pulled by semi-trailer trucks . The length of such a combination is within the limits of national road regulations in many countries, requiring no special permission. As some road regulations allow longer trucks, there are also variations of

90-448: A volume range of 680 to 1,520 cubic feet (19 to 43 m ) for one TEU. While the TEU is not itself a measure of mass, some conclusions can be drawn about the maximum mass that a TEU can represent. The maximum gross mass for a 20-foot (6.1 m) dry cargo container is 24,000 kilograms (53,000 lb). Subtracting the tare mass of the container itself, the maximum amount of cargo per TEU

108-468: Is a general unit of cargo capacity, often used for container ships and container ports . It is based on the volume of a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) intermodal container , a standard-sized metal box that can be easily transferred between different modes of transportation, such as ships, trains, and trucks. The standard intermodal container is 19 feet 10.5 inches (6.058 m) long and eight feet (2.44 m) wide. The height of such containers

126-547: Is defined as two TEU. It is common to designate a 45-foot (13.7 m) container as 2 TEU, rather than 2.25 TEU. The most common twenty-foot container occupies a space 20 feet (6.1 m) long, 8 feet (2.44 m) wide, and 8 feet 6 inches (2.59 m) high, with an allowance externally for the corner castings ; the internal volume is 1,172 cubic feet (33.2 m ). However, both 9-foot-6-inch-tall (2.90 m) High cube and 4-foot-3-inch (1.30 m) half height containers are also reckoned as 1 TEU. This gives

144-460: Is most commonly 8 feet 6 inches (2.59 m) but ranges from 4 feet 3 inches (1.30 m) to 9 feet 6 inches (2.90 m). Another standard container is slightly more than twice as long: 40-foot (12.19 m), dubbed a forty-foot equivalent unit (often FEU or feu ). The reason the smaller container is 1.5 inches short of 20 feet is to allow it to be stacked efficiently with 40-foot containers. The twistlocks on

162-421: Is often used to specify a ship's maximum permissible deadweight (i.e. when it is fully loaded so that its Plimsoll line is at water level), although it may also denote the actual DWT of a ship not loaded to capacity. Deadweight tonnage is a measure of a vessel's weight carrying capacity, not including the empty weight of the ship. It is distinct from the displacement (weight of water displaced), which includes

180-465: Is reduced to about 21,600 kilograms (47,600 lb). Similarly, the maximum gross mass for a 40-foot (12.2 m) dry cargo container (including the 9-foot-6-inch (2.90 m) High cube container) is 30,480 kilograms (67,200 lb). After correcting for tare weight, this gives a cargo capacity of 26,500 kilograms (58,400 lb). Twenty-foot "heavy tested" containers are available for heavy goods such as heavy machinery. These containers allow

198-622: Is to continue by truck, it remains on the chassis. In the case of rail transport, it is carried to the station. It is loaded there by one of three manual rail cranes on the train. Drivers receive their driving orders from radio data transmission terminals within the CTA. Before leaving the port, the railway or the road, another tariff control takes place. 53°30′14″N 9°56′03″E  /  53.50389°N 9.93417°E  / 53.50389; 9.93417 Twenty-foot equivalent unit The twenty-foot equivalent unit (abbreviated TEU or teu )

216-418: Is usually measured by mass (the deadweight tonnage ) or by volume (the net register tonnage ). Deadweight tonnage is generally measured now in metric tons ( tonnes ). Register tons are measured in cu. ft, with one register ton equivalent to 100 cubic feet (2.83 m ). As the TEU is an inexact unit, it cannot be converted precisely into other units. The related unit forty-foot equivalent unit , however,

234-439: Is watched by GPS. Pedestrian access to the area of AGV drive is prohibited for security reasons. The AGV parks in front of one of the 26 camp blocks, where a pair of gantry cranes (double Rail Mounted Gantry - DRMG) unloads the container for temporary storage. Each block covers 10 rows of 37 TEU places, at each place can four - in the external rows five containers be stacked. The DRMG consists of two independent cranes, so that

252-555: The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution From Ships , deadweight is explicitly defined as the difference in tonnes between the displacement of a ship in water of a specific gravity of 1.025 (corresponding to average density of sea water of 1,025 kg/m or 1,728 lb/cu yd) at the draft corresponding to the assigned summer freeboard and the light displacement (lightweight) of

270-411: The 14 two-Katz container bridges transports containers. The crane driver in the main cat transports it on the lax platform of the bridge, where lax worker removes Twistlocks . In the port, handling is fully automatic. As soon as one of the 65 AGVs on the land side of the bridge activates, the portal cat reloads the container. The driverless AGV crosses to the destination conveyed by radio waves while it

288-504: The sea-side with the AGV and the opposite side with the trucks can be served simultaneously. Due to their different sizes, two cranes can work simultaneously, the smaller crane drives under the larger one. On the back of the camp 4 tracks for trucks and 6,700 metres (21,982 ft) long railway. The container is loaded from the DRMG on the chassis of the truck by remote control. If the container

306-469: The ship's own weight, or the volumetric measures of gross tonnage or net tonnage (and the legacy measures gross register tonnage and net register tonnage ). Deadweight tonnage was historically expressed in long tons , but is now usually given internationally in tonnes (metric tons). In modern international shipping conventions such as the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea and

324-519: The standard 40-foot container; in Europe and most other places a container of 45 feet (13.72 m) may be pulled as a trailer. Containers with a length of 48 feet (14.63 m) or 53 feet (16.15 m) are restricted to road and rail transport in North America. Although longer than 40 feet, these variants are put in the same class of forty-foot equivalent units. The carrying capacity of a ship
