What is container terminal simulation?
simulation: Defining container terminal simulation Additionally, furthermore, this chapter answers a simple question: what is container terminal simulation and why should a terminal manager care. Furthermore, it creates a clear starting point for readers who plan changes and want measurable gains. In short, container terminal simulation is a virtual replication of a terminal’s activity that […]
Best terminal operating systems 2026 – top terminal software
terminal operating system 2026: Overview of TOS in Modern Ports A terminal operating system coordinates the many moving parts of a port and makes day-to-day decisions faster. In 2026 the modern TOS must do more than record moves. It must provide real-time visibility, support equipment control, and offer advanced analytics that help terminal planners make […]
Fumigation planning for containers in inland terminals
fumigation and container fumigation in Inland Container Terminals Fumigation controls pests that may travel with international shipments. First, fumigation removes or neutralizes fumigant gas that protects goods and prevents the introduction of invasive species. Next, fumigation also safeguards workers and prevents the destruction of the cargo by living organisms that can damage plant products or […]
Container terminal lashing constraints optimise yard layout
container terminal fundamentals: lashing constraints in yard layout Understanding lashing forces matters for every container terminal planner and operator. Lashing forces describe the mechanical loads applied by lashing equipment and by stack interactions. They act when a vessel rolls and pitches, and they transfer forces into container stacks and into the yard when containers return […]
Reinforcement learning for terminal operations
reinforcement learning Reinforcement learning defines a class of algorithms where an agent interacts with an environment to maximize cumulative reward. In practice, an RL agent observes a state, chooses actions, and receives feedback through a reward signal. First, the agent explores possible moves. Then, the agent exploits what it learned to improve performance. This learning […]
Port AI for container terminal optimization under EU AI Act
Introduction to AI, port and container terminal optimization Container terminal optimization sits at the crossroads of global trade, technology, and regulation. A container terminal links ships, trucks, rail, and warehouses, and it must move millions of TEU each year. Efficient terminals shorten vessel turnaround, reduce trucking queues, and lower costs for shipping lines. AI helps […]
