Proceedings of HMS: The International Conference on Harbour, Maritime & Multimodal Logistics Modelling and Simulation 2012, p. 11-21 | Abstract: | This paper studies the operations of intermodal barge terminals. The objective is to increase the terminal’s efficiency by supporting the operational planning of the terminal operator. For this purpose a review on general and process specific barge terminal planning problems, discussed in current scientific literature, is provided. This theoretical knowledge is verified in practice by means of a comparison with operational planning realities at Haven Genk, a Belgian trimodal terminal. Finally, a simulation study based on Haven Genk data is performed to investigate whether vessel size and number of vessels in use have an impact on barge terminal efficiency. | Keywords: | barge terminal; operational planning; discrete event simulation | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/14549 | ISBN: | 9788897999119 | ISI #: | 000393067100003 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper | Validations: | ecoom 2019 |
