Sumario:[EN] The container from its origins, suppose a revolution in maritime transport. In fact, ships are specially designed to house the maximum number of possible containers, adapting its shape and space to devote itself exclusively to it. The competition between ports to attract major container ships brings with it a struggle to offer lower prices in transport, which means looking for costs reduction in the passage of containers through ports. Nowadays, in larger container terminals, the most significant costs are cost of equipment and labour costs. Keeping in mind that the machinery used in ports comes from a very small market, this cost reduction is complicated. However labour costs can be reduced in a simple way. Labour costs can be up to 60% of the total cost of operating, so the most effective way to become more competitive is reducing these costs in order to be able to offer lower prices to larger shippings and get an advantage over other ports. The purpose of this project is the implementation of a semiautomated container terminal, located in the Northern extension of Valencia's Port, including as a novelty automated high-tech systems for storing containers in the yard, in order to get more efficient performance, using less operating labour resources and, of course, obtaining greater profits. Therefore the technical design of the terminal and access to it and the economic study will be done to determine the feasibility of this type of terminal and if it will allow enough cost savings in operating to obtain greater profits than a conventional container terminal.
