In this article indicated the need to include additional hoisting and lowering phases of containers in the ship’s hold between cell guides. This necessity comes from literature studies and long years observations of real container handling processes in seaports. This gave the basis to discussions on the necessity of introducing models in additional phase describing the processes of container handling, what will have the impact on much more precisely way to describe a real object. In addition, this paper presents issues concerning the identification of hoisting and lowering processes on the base of handling of containers into the ship’s hold from the point of view of correlation hoisting speed in relation to the security of the hold, crane and cargo placed inside the container.
