Container Terminal KPI
MEL joins the Hamburg Committee on the development of the
Container Terminal Quality Indicator (CTQI)
The first meeting of the
Hamburg Committee on CTQI took place in Hamburg on the 28th of June
2007. The meeting followed up on earlier discussions with shippers, terminal
operators and carriers since the beginning of the year. MEL was represented by
Michele Acciaro, Assistant Academic Director.
The Hamburg Committee
acts as the advisory group to the principals of the development of the Container
Terminal Quality Indicator bench mark (CTQI).
The CTQI is an initiative
of Germanischer Lloyd (www.gl-group.com)
and of the Global Institute of Logistics (www.globeinst.org)
aiming at setting an audited independent measure of container terminal
efficiency. The proposed index is expected to contribute to an increase in the
transparency of the container industry and provide a meaningful measurement of
container terminal performance.
The meeting discussed the
composition of the index, pointing out to the necessity of always integrating
terminal efficiency measurements in the container supply chain. The role that
CTQI may play in improving transparency in the industry was also stressed and
recognised as an important advantage of the adoption of CTQI. The participants
agreed that the acceptance of CTQI as an industry standard will be beneficial to
all parties involved in the supply chain.
