Freight container terminal operation process

This flowchart outlines the complete terminal operation process for containers from entry to exit. The process covers entry management (appointment registration, container inspection, weighing and data entry, document verification), yard operations (zoned storage according to container type and destination port, classification of loaded and empty containers, monitoring of refrigerated container power supply), in-yard operations (unloading, container relocation, unloading, LCL consolidation and deconsolidation, fumigation and disinfection), exit management (appointment for container pickup, container re-inspection, document verification, and payment settlement), and supporting procedures (equipment maintenance, container repair, and cleaning services). The flowchart also marks key nodes such as customs inspection area operations, overdue container handling procedures, and anomaly handling mechanisms (damage records, delay reporting), covering the entire chain of operations from truck entry to exit settlement, facilitating standardized operations and systematic scheduling management for terminal personnel.
