  • Abstract
    The overhead bridge cranes (OHBC) at the Pasir Panjang terminal in the Port of Singapore are operated remotely. Each operator can handle up to six cranes. This is possible due to the highly automated system that controls the cranes. This paper describes the control system that is implemented in the terminal.
