Abstract

Abstract

During planning and designning the reconstruction project of container terminal, an animated computer simulation model was built, and a series of model experiments were carried out. Experiment results show that maximum annual throughput of the terminal is 1.5×10⁶ TEU, and yard capacity is a bottleneck of the terminal, adding proper number of trailers into the terminal can promote waterfront production. If the terminal operates together with Linhai road container yard, which is used as the terminal's supplement yard for import containers, annual throughput can reach 2.0×10⁶ TEU. The results show that the model is feasible.
