The Application of Simple Simulations of Loading Operations for the Chosen Container Terminal

Abstract

Intermodal transport and especially container shipments have been characterized by a dynamic growth, both in Poland and globally. One cannot ignore the importance of technical preparation and organization of terminals which perform integrated loading units reloading. Various elements of IT infrastructure have been introduced to seaports for the last years and they aim at improving the working conditions. Ground terminals, usually small reloading centres, most often give up any modern solutions and blame it on the lack of appropriate funds. The paper presents the rules of carrying out a simple simulation the results of which can become useful for improving activities at container terminal.
