PLANNING, LEASING, AND INTERMODAL FACILITY DEVELOPMENT: PERSPECTIVE OF THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OF SEA-LAND CORPORATION

The key to the future, for the third generation of the shipping industry, lies in effective planning. The traditional view of planning as synonymous with engineering design and with a window of up to 5 years into the future must be abandoned. Instead, planning must be seen as a process, a series of activities that occur in a logical order or sequence. Goals and objectives must be projected into a more distant future, perhaps some 15 or 20 years hence. To be effective, planning must incorporate certain key elements. This input is provided by those who effect, and are affected by, the plan. The complex interactive nature of all of the elements that are involved in a marine or intermodal terminal operation must be considered in developing plans.
