Abstract

This paper addresses the applications of different techniques for solving container terminals problems. We have built a simulation model that can be used to analyze the performance of container terminal operations. The proposed approach is intended to be applied for a real case study in Alexandria Container Terminal (ACT) at Alexandria port. The implementation of our approach shows that a proposed model increases the efficiency of Alexandria container terminal at Alexandria port.
