SIMULATION MODEL FOR MARITIME CONTAINER TERMINAL

Simulation at a Maritime Container Terminal: Models and Computational Frameworks

NEC-Italy high-performance computing division recognises that computer simulation aided organisation and management is the true challenge for a new generation of advanced decision tools for supporting operations in modern logistic platforms. Collecting academic expertises, research skills, computing machinery and dynamic realities with a significant growth into the field of container terminal l...

An Integrated Simulation Model for Channel Contention and Berth Management at a Maritime Container Terminal

The extension and application of a queuing network model to the management of core logistic processes at the Gioia Tauro marine container terminal is presented. Real features incorporated in the model require simulation to solve it. A manager-friendly simulator is designed for the real case study, under the constraint of guaranteeing a finer representation of: the congestion phenomenon at the p...

Object oriented model for container terminal distributed simulation

In shipping port sector, containers are the most dynamic and complex to manage. To provide adequate strategy for the increasing traffic, ports must either expand facilities or improve efficiency of operations. In investigating ways in which ports can improve efficiency, this paper outlines a container terminal simulation model and gives components architecture that are implemented with Java. Si...

The Quay Crane Deployment Problem at a Maritime Container Terminal

Container unloading/loading at marine container terminals (MCTs) is a key logistic process, to which some research efforts have been addressed by using mathematical programming models formulated in a deterministic-static environment. Vice versa, DES models in a stochastic-dynamic environment are well capable of representing the entire process. Hence, simulation results to be an effective planni...
