01 / Operational evidence
One year. Three distinct performance measures.
- Yearly average
- 32moves/h
- Reported average across one year of ALP operation.
- Best ship
- 37moves/h
- Reported ship-level result, not the yearly average.
- Peak
- 48moves/h
- Separately reported peak value, not a sustained operating rate.
Already demonstrated without terminal-side process adjustments. These are distinct measures, not a time series or a before/after comparison.
Source: KALP operational performance slides, 2024. Results depend on operating conditions and terminal coordination.
02 / Container flow
Automate twistlock handling within the container flow.
- 01
Horizontal transport
Horizontal transport places the container onto the ALP.
- 02
ALP processing
In the shown loading example, the ALP removes and stores twistlocks. The ALP can also insert twistlocks.
- 03
STS crane
The STS crane picks up the processed container.
Loading example; the sequence does not represent cycle times.
“The ALP eliminates the pinning time from the container handling process.”
This describes automation of the pinning step within the container flow — not zero processing time or the elimination of all manual activity in the terminal.
03 / System coordination
Coordination unlocks higher throughput.
Crane availability, ALP processing and horizontal transport work together. Overall throughput depends on their coordination.
>45
crane cycles/h
Demonstrated during optimally coordinated phases in the loading example.
A phase-specific result, not a guaranteed sustained rate.
40-ft example
45 cycles/h 90 TEU/h
TEU throughput depends on container size and handling configuration; this is not a general yearly performance figure.
04 / Environmental Conditions

Operating experience across heat, humidity, rain, cold and snow.

05 / Terminal integration
Proven today. Integration potential ahead.
The ALP was operated without terminal-side process adjustments. Additional benefits from complete terminal integration were therefore not quantified in the reported operation.
