Question 1

QUESTION 1: Choose 3 departments/ locations that you have have visited in Cat
Lai and state clearly the functions of those places.
The feeder server crane
At Cat Lai port, the feeder server crane, which is totally suitable for feeder ships up to
Panamax capacities, has a considerable advantage. The short cable and low lifting
height make handling products much faster than with other cranes of the same type.
The feeder server can discharge 40 containers every hour, allowing a huge number of
commodities to be loaded and unloaded on tiny ships in a short amount of time.
Vessels frequently stop at the port for a short period of time before having to depart the
port swiftly. Because cargo handling sequences are complex, the crane's acceleration
and speed must be used. maximized in order to cut down on time.
Modern ports increasingly rely on fully electric cranes. The operation of cranes of this
type has special significance for the environment and does not cause pollution.

retrieval of data on exported, imported, and inventory goods. Automatic fire alarm and
extinguishing system, as well as a qualified fire protection system.
Cargo yard with total area: 61,000 m2
Inspection yard: 41,000 m2

Oversized and overloaded yard: 3,000 m2
Closing yard: 17,000 m2.
Barges and rice packing: this is the meeting point for barges transporting rice from the
western provinces to be packed into containers and shipped to other countries. Rice, in
particular, is a heavy commodity that can only be packed into 20'DC containers to avoid
overfilling the containers.

QUESTION 2: Choose 3 typical types of equipment related to logistics activities in

CAT LAI that you were impressive and state clearly the functions of those types
of equipment.
The feeder server crane
At Cat Lai port, the feeder server crane, which is totally suitable for feeder ships up to

Modern ports increasingly rely on fully electric cranes. The operation of cranes of this
type has special significance for the environment and does not cause pollution.
Forklift
It is a type of lifting equipment with a wheel car structure, equipped with a diesel engine
and a hydraulic motor, to lift and lower the container through a fork mechanism
(universal forklift) or a holding joint (forklift truck, side lifter).
Several types of forklifts: fork lift trucks, edge forklifts, universal forklifts, interior forklifts.
Container stacking crane

Is a mobile crane used to arrange containers in the port's container yard (Container
Yard - CY). This type of crane has a structure consisting of a frame with a base
attached to a roller on a rail or a rubber roller and a trolley that moves along the girder
frame.
QUESTION 3: How many types of containers have been shown by the instructor?
State the information to distinguish the difference between those types of
containers.
Container is a large rectangular steel container with a hollow inside and a latch design
to close the door. Containers have extremely good bearing capacity and come in many
different sizes. Container is a large rectangular steel container with a hollow inside and
a latch design to close the door. Containers have extremely good bearing capacity and
come in many different sizes.
Based on the size, there are 2 types of containers most commonly used and commonly
used for sea freight transport: cont 20 and cont 40 or high cont 40.
General Purpose Container
20 feet: Suitable for packaged goods, cartons, boxes, bulk goods, furniture...
40 feet: This is the most common type of container in terms of size for packing and
shipping. Like other dry cargo containers, it is suitable for packaged goods, cartons,
boxes, bulk goods, furniture...
40 feet High (HC): Like other dry cargo containers, it is suitable for packaged goods,
cartons, boxes, bulk goods, furniture... but the volume is 11% larger.
Refrigerated Container (Refer Container)

Refrigerated containers are designed with heat and humidity preservation equipment
suitable for goods that are food, agricultural products, medical drugs or temperature-
sensitive goods that need to be carefully preserved and maintained. during
transportation.
The cold container is completely white, thus one point may differentiate it.
Flat Rack Container (Plat Rack Container)
This type of container is very special when it is designed with no roof and no walls, only
a flat floor which is very hard, solid and durable, used to transport bulky, heavy, difficult
to lift goods. such as machinery equipment, iron and steel. Its structure is
supplemented with strong front and back walls, which can be fixed or folded or
disassembled to support the most convenient loading and unloading. There are now
floor trailers that function almost like this flat rack container.
Opentop Container
Or this type is also known as an open-roof container (OT), which is designed
without a roof and people use a canvas to cover the goods inside. This type of
container is suitable for transporting goods that are machinery, construction
equipment or wood with long bodies, bulky goods and cannot be stowed through
the container door, so people will conveniently get goods through the roof.
containers.
QUESTION 4: Which types of ship that Cat Lai port approves to berth? Why does
Cat Lai port just receive those types of ships?
In Cat Lai port, only container ships and barges can enter the port. In addition, there are
other types of ships available in the port such as: Tugboats, Pilot ships, etc. Only
container ships and barges can enter because they have equipment to support entry,
the rest cannot enter because they cannot enter the port equipment for transportation.
Container ship is a type of ship that is used for packing containers and packing goods.
Packing goods into Container Ship to advertise shipping helps to shorten the queuing
time at the delivery and delivery locations, minimizing damage and loss of goods.
This type of ship usually has a very large tonnage (usually from 1000 to 5000TEU) but
at Cat Lai port there are usually only 2800TEU ships, high speed (over 26 knots). The
feature of this type of ship is that they have an area of the bottom of the cargo hold
equal to or greater than the area of the hatch mouth, and there are ballast water tanks
on both sides of the ship's network to help balance when loading containers into
multiple floors and rows.
Container ships are transport vehicles with special structures, to store a large amount of
goods that are placed in many different types of containers. Today, containers carry
90% of the world's goods.
In addition, barges also play a huge part in transporting goods in the Cua Long River
Delta. Cat Lai port is a trading place to export rice and fruits transported from the
western provinces.
Barges are a type of water transport. The barge is equipped with a rather large engine
used to carry goods of large volume and quantity.
Currently, barges are widely used by business owners in the shipping industry. The
reason barges are used a lot is because of their large cargo area, stable operating
capacity, and flexibility in transportation.
