GRID Solutions Summary GRID Solutions Summary

  • Tw o-three times the storage density of typical port

layout

  • Faster ship-to-shore crane cycle times
  • Faster simultaneous ship load/off-load
  • Few er container transfers than conventional port ops
  • Greater efficiency by parallel loading of trucks and rail
  • Greater efficiency and security w ith 100% en route

scanning

  • Pow ered exclusively by electricity

GRID Solutions Summary GRID Solutions Summary

  • Reduces maintenance and operating costs to only one

type of equipment

  • Eliminates O& M cost for support equipment
  • Drastic reduction in air pollution from diesel exhaust
  • Modular design for retrofitting and expansion
  • Provision for solar panel installation
  • Operating redundancy
  • Increased efficiency and capacity w /o corresponding
  • perating and maintenance costs

Bottom Line to Terminals Bottom Line to Terminals

The BEC GRID System…

  • Maximizes land utilization
  • Reduces operating costs
  • Increases revenues w ithout increasing operating and

maintenance costs

  • Is more profitable than conventional technology
  • Is totally green and drastically reduces air pollution
  • Can meet the U.S. mandate for 100% container
