With the economic growth of recent years, the number of containers in port terminals are drastically increasing in ASEAN regions. However, because of lacking maintenance of harbor facilities, they become old and cause some problems like decreasing the efficiency of labor. The purpose of this project is to bring Japanese harbor maintenance technology into those ASEAN countries that have maintenance problems. Then, we try to extract the problems and put together a complete solution.
