The Impact of Terminal Operations on Global Supply ChainsDan Gardner, Trade Facilitators
From an operational perspective successful supply chain execution revolves around three areas; reduction of landed costs, lead-time rationalization and inventory management. Ultimately, execution of this "supply chain triumvirate" is what influences the financial outcomes found on a company’s income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement. This presentation will cover how terminal operators contribute to the overall supply chain flow, and more specifically how terminal operation activities like crane productivity, turn-times and yard management resonate across the entire supply chain.
Dan Gardner, Trade Facilitators Dan L. Gardner is President and co-founder of Trade Facilitators, Inc.

Current and Emerging Challenges for Container Terminal OperationsGustaaf De Monie, MSc., Senior Director, Policy Research Corporation
From its inception, containerization has continuously forced stakeholders in the supply chain to adjust strategies and discover new technologies in order to meet unexpected challenges and ever greater demands from the users. With the stakes in container terminal operations becoming ever higher in terms of delay costs, risks incurred and new massive investment needs, it seems an appropriate time to take stock and analyze the current and emerging challenges for container terminal operators. In this presentation, Gustaaf De Monie will first consider world trade context and then look at the degree of realism built into the presently available container traffic and throughput forecasts. Are there any imminent shifts in decision-making powers? What is the future position of shippers and their role in better monitoring of container terminal performance? What are the likely implications of the anticipated changes on container terminal design and operations?
Gustaaf De Monie, MSc., Senior Director, Policy Research Corporation Gustaaf De Monie graduated in 1965 from the University Antwerp with a degree in Applied Economics and started his professional career with a leading Antwerp Terminal Operator. In 1970 he joined the Ports Section of UNCTAD, where he was responsible for research, training and project development. In 1989, Gustaaf established himself as an independent consultant, where he currently manages port and shipping matters and works for international organizations such as the World Bank, European Union and IFC, government agencies, global terminal operators and port authorities. He is Program Advisor to the Le Havre Port Training Institute and Course Coordinator for ‘Terminal Management’ in the ITMMA Master of Science program of the Antwerp University. Last but not least, Gustaaf is Project Director for Policy Research Corporation, an Antwerp-based economic think-tank specializing in transport issues.
