Abstract
The rate of growth in the number of containers shipped through the world's ports has, in recent years, necessitated the introduction of handling systems which are increasingly sophisticated. Computerisation has brought about a revolution in the efficiency of box handling by speeding communications, smoothing documentation and improving container selection and location. In this paper existing computer packages in UK ports based on simple database management are reviewed. These packages are non-transferrable to any other port. A generalized approach using Relational DBMS available commercially has been considered for possible applications.
