摘要：This paper shows the application of information and communication technology, as well as the application of software support in tracking and monitoring of cargo container’s and creating cargo plan. Because of the cheapest and easiest transport by ships there has been an increase of container usage. This leads to major problems in manipulating large number of containers in terminals. To increase efficiency and safety in manipulating containers, and to decrease error to its smallest rate, integration information systems are introduced in ports. To increase the efficiency and security of containers in the manipulation and to reduce possible errors to minimum, integrated information systems are introduced in ports, and the appropriate software packages such as Belco, CubeMaster, Cargo Optimizer, SeaGate are implemented. Today’s information communication equipment allows monitoring and tracking of containers by the concept of “door to door”. Implementing information systems decreases issues such as containers not being ready for loading. For successful work it is necessary to have overall coordination, timely, reliable, and accurate information between all participants in container manipulation.
