Simulation Study of Container Terminal Performance

Abstract
This paper examines the optimal size for the Gamman Container Terminal in Pusan, Korea, in terms of berths and quay cranes. Computer simulation analyses were performed with four scenarios, representing different operational patterns. The results reveal that sharing quay cranes with adjacent berths can increase productivity, and that the more berths per operator, the higher the productivity achieved. Based on these results, container terminal development and operation policy implications are considered.
