As we know,Gatehouse (Gate-In /Gate-Out) business is one of the most important sections in the operation of container terminal(CT).On one hand,Gate-In is the first checkpoint for all export container cargoes to CTs,where we should make clear the related responsibilities of container cargoes between shippers and CTs.On the other hand,Gate-Out is the last checkpoint for all import cargoes from CTs,where the relevant liabilities of container cargoes should be distinguished by CTs and consignees,too.The CT where I work now is in Europe and ourlabor costs are much higher than those in China.In this case,in January,2010,we began to study and designanautomatic gatehouse system(AGS) in order to lower relevant costs by accelerating the passage of containers through Gate-In and Gate-Out and reducing the number of container inspectorsas well.
