  Affairs and Fisheries (MOMAF)
• Pilot using RFID - 6 month test
• Busan to L.A. (export only)
• Hanjin Hyundae Lines
• 1000 rfid on trucks (4000 more after pilot)
• 15,000 active rfid tags on containers (25/tag)

23
Asia Cargo Tracking

• GCTS
• Pre-notify info to terminal
• Read rfid at gate match to pre-notify info
• Send drop-off/pick-up location to drivers
  cellphone via SMS
• Within 2 years all terminals in Busan will have
  RFID.
• (now using bar codes)
• Some Terminal Operators believe OCR is more cost
  effective

24
Asia Cargo Tracking

• Terminal will send info to GCTS website run by
  MOMAF (www.gcts.go.kr)
• Customers can access website to track container
• Public can see it now.

Size Perspective(7500 teu cargo ship)

• To keep the massive size of todays cargo ships
  in perspective, look at the yellow railroad cars
  in the following pictures.
• The yellow railroad car is approx 2 teu (twenty
  equivalent units) in size, i.e., 8x8x40
• The Hamburg Express class ship, is 1050 feet long
  x 140 feet wide (320 x 43 meters) and holds 7500
  teu containers or 3750 yellow railroad cars.
• 3750 (2 teu) containers lined up would be more
  than 28 miles long.
