Abstract
There has been shown to be a tendency towards great numbers of the container throughput as the world trade expands. Mega-containerships with the capacity of over 10,000 TEU are mainly serviced between Asia and Europe. Even now the number of ports where mega-containerships call has been almost same as conventional size ships. However, in the future, the effect on introducing mega-containerships will become apparent. At a terminal where mega-containerships are calling, most cargoes to be handled are transshipments from origin to destination ports via that terminal. There are the scheduling problems in order to optimize quay space use and yard space use, those need the time required for ship berthing and quay crane working, it is difficult for us to acquire the information under the situation in actual port terminal. Thus, in this study, we construct the simulation models by types of machine, obtain the time and the factors influenced to that time from these results. This paper develops the models that estimate the time required for ship berthing and quay crane working.
