Abstract :
ntroduction:In this paper, Arena software has been used to simulate a complex system, which contains traffic rules, a tidal window, weatherconditions and different fleet types.
Methods:We have determined the capacity of a Y-type waterway intersection with a sailing speed of 10 knots for the Panjin seaport in China.Moreover, we chose a sailing speed of 11 knots, which gives a safe squat value at high tide level whose cumulative frequency forchannel accessibility is larger than or equal to 80%.
Results:The results show that the capacity of the waterway reduced with a sailing speed of 11 knots, because of waiting for a long time tomeet a high tide level.
