SUSTAINABLE OPERATION AS AN INTEGRAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CONTAINER TERMINAL TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEM

It is substantiated that the sustainable functioning of a production enterprise is ensured by the sustainable functioning of its technical and technological system. The conditions for the sustainable functioning of the technical and technological system of the enterprise are formulated. Theoretical provisions are developed to determine the essence, criteria and conditions for the sustainable functioning of the technical and technological system of a container terminal as the basis for the sustainable functioning of the terminal. The technical and technological system of a port container terminal consists of a set of technical means (transshipment equipment of various categories) that form technological lines for carrying out cargo operations. The components of the sustainable functioning of a sea container terminal are determined: the required state of the technical and technological system; the availability of resources of the required quantity and quality (energy resources, human resources); the required depth level near the berths; the required technical condition of the berths. A scheme for forming the throughput capacity of a container terminal as an integral characteristic of the corresponding technical and technological system is developed. A mathematical description of the conditions for the sustainable functioning of the technical and technological system of a sea container terminal is performed based on the corresponding concept. The formalization of the conditions for the sustainable functioning of the technical and technological system of enterprises in general and the container terminal in particular is carried out using probability theory under the assumption that the productivity of technological equipment, the throughput of berths and the terminal as a whole are random variables, the level of which is influenced by many factors, both internal and external. The presented results constitute a theoretical basis for the further development of methods and means of ensuring the sustainable functioning of marine container terminals.
