Container terminal simulation analysis

Information

Terminal simulation helps operators of new container terminals, or those who wish to expand or retrofit their current container terminal facilities, or those who wish to optimize their current container terminal operations, because they often need to make decisions on high investments for situations with many unknowns and uncertainties. Portwise aims to mitigate risks that relate to these uncertain factors in its container terminal design projects. For this purpose, Portwise has developed simulation model libraries. The models are tailored for different purposes: models with a longer modeling horizon to validate the quay length, number of berths and service levels for different vessel types; and models with a shorter modeling horizon that mimic the operations to a much greater level of detail and contain both the movements of containers and equipment as well as a detailed representation of the Terminal Operating System (TOS) and equipment control systems.
