HIGHLIGHTS
- A complex mathematical model describes the process of container lifting from a ship.
- The power of frictional forces between oscillating ship and container were analyzed.
- Lifting power needs dependency on mass of container and frictional forces was deduced.
- Results can be applied to safety and efficient handling of containers in green ports.

ABSTRACT
The operational problem of container unloading from the ship is analyzed in this paper. Dynamic “crane-cargo-ship” system was investigated, and a mathematical model was created. In the model, the gap between the container and the ship’s cargo hold, the mass of the cargo, the container’s center of the mass, and the frictional forces that may occur during lifting from the cargo hold were estimated. Numerical analysis of the system was performed. Results of numerical analysis were compared with experimental measurements of containers unloading
process in port. Requirement of lifting power was modelled depending on mass of cargo. Additional power needs in case of contact forces between container and wall of the ship’s cargo hold were calculated. Rational lifting conditions could be deduced using a created mathematical model and the reliability of the container and cargo during lifting could be deduced.
