Case study: https://www.anylogic.com/resources/ca...

In the Port of Hamburg in Germany over nine million containers are transshipped every year. Till now the early provision of information for both the estimated time of arrival of vessels and containers is not established.

As the research focus is set to import container flow with hinterland mode rail within carrier’s haulage – here the deep sea carrier organizes pre- and on-carriage – the delay of vessel means a delay of containers and at the end a delay of trains or in worst case not transported containers for the hinterland.

Furthermore the terminal has no information about the hinterland mode selected. The objective of the simulation is to compare the effects before and after establishing containerized ETA throughout the transport chain. Within the system dynamics model – for the first time – all relevant actors were modeled. This embraces deep sea carrier, terminal operator, rail operator and railway company.
