Abstract

In the last decades, advanced brake technology in the port sector follows the global productivity developments of the international maritime trade. Container vessels are getting bigger and bigger and the ship to shore cranes is getting consistently higher. But service, emergency or storm brakes cannot be getting bigger and bigger to meet these increasing demands.

Brakes will invariably insure against those rare, yet potentially catastrophic events that even modern technology cannot defend against.
