Machinery

The major machinery involved in Container Terminal Tycoon is cranes. Basically there are two types of cranes, one fixed on rails and the other one movable with wheels. In basic version of CTT we are going to focus on cranes fixed on the rail.

Alongside the berth, there are locations where cranes can be installed. The player has to choose among different specifications of cranes. Each crane can serve one ship at a time, and larger crane models could move more containers via a single operation. Obviously, larger models come with a higher installing fee at the upgrade phase and cost more for maintenance during the management phase.

Over the stack of containers, cranes will be used to pile up containers when received ones and dismount them if there are vehicles requesting. Specifications of such cranes are related to the sizes of stacks. So decisions will be made when allocating stacks.
