• Port warehouses have some unique requirements that inland warehouses do not.

• Warehouses in and around ports often need appropriately surfaced, open yard areas to accommodate the handling of heavy containers. These warehouses frequently specialize in heavy lifts, and abnormal cargo, meaning their architectural design and material handling equipment requirements differ from inland warehouses.

• Forklifts, front-end loaders, reach stackers and gantry cranes facilitate the handling of a variety of commodities at the ports.

A port warehouse needs to consider the use of overhead gantry cranes to lift heavier items and/or containers and it is often necessary for an on-site rigger to be employed to oversee special lifting jobs.

Due to the nature of the goods being imported and exported, fumigation, lashing and dunnaging services are often needed, while private rail sidings are used to assist in the movement of bulkier items.

STORAGE OPERATION

 Warehouse building selection depends on scale and type of storage operation.

 Different methods of storage unit loads imply various levels of efficiency in building volume and accessibility to load.

 This also affects selection of mechanic handling equipment

 Usually 1/3rd area is given to high bay area and 2/3rd is given to lower bay area for order picking and assembly.

A gross area of 70,000 to 90,000 square feet can be provided for a port warehouse.

The width and length can be determined from the dimensions of the site and the space required for access roads and railroad sidings.

A clear height of 22 to 24 ft should be given

It would be ample to allow for automatic sprinklers for fire protection and pendant electric lights .

Bay spacing of 20 to 40 ft appears to be common practice.
