Abstract :
An elaborate simulator was proposed about the logistics activities related to the arrival, berthing and departure of vessels in container terminal (CT) for designers and decision-makers to evaluate CT size in terms of berths and quay-cranes and its current performance. The simulator mainly includes simulation scenario generator, berth and quay-crane assignment simulation as well as input and output data planning. The simulator can be used to design additional terminal size, evaluate current terminal performance and analyze its operation cost
