Abstract

The operators of container crane shipping docks are the first pillar and fundamental to the success of companies handling and transport of containers. The performance and the ability of the operators are the main tasks for the success of shipping companies and thus the success of internal and external trade. The operators subjected to training courses on simulator before and during their practical life. The aim of this paper is to analyze the driving performance of container crane operators working in ALEXANDRIA-EGYPT terminal in daily working and suggest recommendations to improve their performance. Improving operator performance means maximize number of container moves per hour and maximize handling accuracy (or minimizing errors during handling) .To reach  this aim the following steps were done:
1- Analyzing database for the operators subjected to training courses and test before and during their practical life.
2- Analyzing database for the operator during their shifts.
3- Analyzing database for the operators during simulator tests but with no test time duration.
