碩士 === 國立高雄海洋科技大學 === 航運管理研究所 === 96 === Sea transport has made critical changes in the beginning of 21 centuries due to emergence of mega container ship tendency , ship type has been transforming from 5500TEUs in 2000, via 8000TEUs in 2004 and MA MERSK in terms of 11300TEUS in 2007. To allure a mega container ship calling on the terminal requires not only setting up adequate hardware and software facilities but also conquering many issues relevant to massive operational business, hence it is of crucial important to enhance container terminal capacity by upgrading operating efficiency of cargo handling facilities. The purpose of this paper is to explore key impact factors of operating efficiency in the container terminal, and make a comparison between two terminals (including 120W and 70W) being possessed by Yang Ming Line in Kaohsiung based on the AHP and case studying approaches. Our finding was summarized as:(1) Key impact factors are efficiency of cargo handling facilities, transport distance of trailers, moving speedy of gantry crane, number of cargo handling facilities and number of trailer, (2) 120 Wharf is better than 70 Wharf on terminal operating efficiency and transport distance of trailers, (3) Automated stacking crane has existed some bottleneck to confront with but semi-automatic crane is optimal cargo handling facilities in the aspect of operating efficiency being recognized by shipping industry sectors.
