DISCRETE-EVENT SIMULATION OF A COMPLEX INTERMODAL CONTAINER TERMINAL - A Case-Study of Standard Unloading/Loading Processes of Vessel Ships

Abstract

This paper analyzes the performance of a complex maritime intermodal container terminal. The aim is to propose changes in the system resources or in handling procedures that guarantee better performance in perturbed conditions. A discrete-event system simulation study shows that, in future conditions of increased traffic volumes and reduced available stacking space, more internal transport vehicles, or appropriate scheduling and routing policies, or an increased degree of automation would improve the performance.
