Abstract
The configuration of the equipment is essential when designing a container terminal. The quay crane (QC) is one of the most important equipment in the container terminal because it decides the capacity of the quayside operation and berth service. A macroscopic simulation model of the quayside operation and berth service in the container terminal is proposed in this study. An integrated berth allocation and QC scheduling strategy is utilised in the simulation. The long-term simulation experiments considering the annual seasonal variation are conducted. And an appropriate configuration of the QCs is selected according to the analysis for key indicators of berth service and quayside operation. The comprehensive analysis indicates the selected configuration is great when the throughput is 2.5 million TEUs and it also can meet the quayside operation when the throughput increases by 20%.
