Abstract :
The concept of using a simulation model to preview the integrated plan of a container port operation has been developed and tested. The results of the test has been encouraging as it gives the planner an opportunity to see the performance of the proposed plan and make changes to them before committing them to operations. This would result in less changes to the plans, fewer conflicts for resources and a better throughput for the whole port operation.
