Analysis of seaport bulk cargo warehouse capacity by using simulation modeling

The article considers the regulatory documents governing rules and regulations for design of commercial ports terminals. It has been shown that logic creating current standards does not meet modern requirements terminals, since concept a standard time margin is disclosed in documents, its relation with uniform operation railway transport, which depend on approach ships or irregular navigation, given. appears all considerations given norms refer only to component storage volume ensures uninterrupted service at berth, i.e. makes up technological warehousing. rear front this case continuous maintenance reserve level excludes failure handling vessel. obvious using existing leads constructing excessive transshipment capacities, increasing cost project longer payback period. At same time, practice shows cargo stored warehouse mostly determined by irregularity ship arrival. advisable use simulation tools calculate capacity. Using method provides more accurate analysis required capacity warehouse, helps avoid additional costs, ultimately positive effect competitiveness projected port.
