Abstract

Port terminals have characteristics of production systems posing the need for optimal configuration of particular components to be determined for the purpose of the system functionality. By applying system engineering and considering the entire life cycle in terminal planning, port performance criteria are set-up for the evaluation of the system functionality performing transport services.
Criteria for the evaluation of the port terminal performance are grouped in functionality and technical quality criteria. System analyses carried out inside major functionality requirement groups have produced objects and their attributes describing functional requirements in more detail.
Within the case study of a new container terminal in the Primorsko-goranska County, 14 objects and 49 attributes of the system are identified describing the terminal functionality criteria. Further 8 objects and 36 attributes of the system describe the terminal technical quality criteria. By using analytical methods, the most important attributes have been evaluated and two functionality thresholds have been determined with respect to the terminal’s estimated life cycle.
