The simulation modelling of shore-and sea-side port operations constitutes a fundamental
prerequisite for effective project planning in port development, as the influence of numerous …

Simulation has been an integral part of research and development work in container
terminal operations. The sheer size of the facilities and the complexity of equipment used …

Transportation planners often need to justify transportation related investments to public
officials. Besides efficiency measures, the environment protection and sustainability are …

As more and more container terminals open up all over the world, terminal operators are
discovering that they must increase quay crane work rates in order to remain competitive. In …

Due to more and more awareness of environmental conservancy and sustainable
development, automated container terminals (ACTs) have gained increasing attention and …

Block widths ranging from two to fifteen rows in a marine container terminal are evaluated by
a fully-integrated, discrete event simulation model. Experiments consider dozens of yard …

In this paper we consider the performance evaluation of ship-berth link in port. The efficiency
of operations and processes on the ship-berth link has been analysed through the basic …

Seaport container terminals are essential nodes in sea cargo transportation networks. As
such, the operational efficiency of container terminals in handling containers passing …

Simulation of the logistics activities related to the arrival, berthing, service and departure
processes of ships in container ports can be carried out for different goals such as design of …

Due to the asymmetry between the time required to retrieve a container to vessel and the
time required to register a container at the gate, the storage space allocation problem solves …
