Description: Quay operations are a set of activities carried out at a quay, which is the structure designed to facilitate the loading and unloading of goods from ships and other water transport vehicles. These operations are fundamental in port logistics, as they enable the efficient movement of goods between the sea and land. They include tasks such as loading containers, unloading products, temporarily storing goods, and managing the necessary documentation for the transit of goods. Quay operations require precise coordination among different actors, such as port operators, transporters, and customs authorities, to ensure that goods are handled safely and efficiently. Additionally, these activities are crucial for international trade, as ports are entry and exit points for products on a global scale. Technology also plays an important role in quay operations, with the use of cranes, cargo management systems, and specialized software that optimizes workflow and minimizes waiting times.
