Modelling of loading and unloading system of a ship by a mullti-agents system

The advent of containers has changed the world of shipping. In this sense, shipping has been expanding during the last 30 years and it is expected that worldwide traffic of containers (134 millions in 2009) would reach 210 millions of containers by 2015. This article deals with the simulation of mobile ship while loading and unloading containers from a port of origin to a destination port after crossing other ports. We present a cooperation agents based solution in order to resolve this problem. Indeed our study extends from local migration process, in one single port, to cope with the process of migration between multiple ports. In this way, we minimize total running time of this process. Therefore, we implement a management system of shipping (MSS) in order to simulate the problem already mentioned.
