The highest move counts I ever saw were in non-automated ports. There was a particular crane operator at the SeaLand/APMT Oakland terminal who regularly moved 50 containers per hour. Yokohama used to consistently move 40 containers per hour per crane. However, when they shifted from straddle carriers to "bomb cars" it dropped off to 30-33 movers per hour per crane. In Busan Newport the non-automated terminal had higher move rates than the semi-automated terminal across the harbor. If you want to improve domestic freight movement get rid of the requirement for eNOA/NOD reports. There is zero reason for a vessel not going to foreign ports to submit them. It kills any chance of an ad hoc port call and is just a PITA for the master
