Abstract: Applying the system simulation to the discrete events of something to be modeled, and analyzing the technological process of loading and unloading at a modern container terminal as well as the relevant operational management, a simulation model is developed involving the whole operating process in a container terminal where the container ships, anchorages, berths, quay cranes, gantry cranes, internal and external container trucks, trailers, yard gates, etc., are all taken into account. To solve the block planning problem of container Terminals, the simulation-based optimization (SBO) method is proposed, where the MPI-based parallel cluster computing technique is introduced into the solving process. Thus, the tedious computation for SBO is well improved.
