Abstract:Throughput capacity is a vital factor that dominates the suitable time of expansion of container terminals. By analyzing the operation system of container terminals and realizing its complexity, this paper established a simulation model of container terminals to imitate the realistic operation process and determine the throughput capacity of a container berth under various influence factors. The simulation results can be used by decision makers to choose appropriate throughput capacity under required service level and decide the optimal number of berths arranged continuously. The simulation model will be beneficial to guide the construction of container terminals.
