The paper deals with the methodology for establishing the units of mechanized fleet for operation and handling in container terminals. Selection of the type and number of manipulation equipment is completed based upon the computation (estimate) taking account of the time needed for the completion of individual operation, and setting the time quota for loading and unloading. Also included in the computation is the capacity of reloading equipment from which we are able to work out the utilization-related i.e. actual capacity. By review of dimensions and capacities of container cranes and straddle carriers the methodology for selection of the needed fleet is completed.
