Initial Model for Simulation of a Seaport Using the Simio Methodology

Abstract

The port sector is considered a vital component in maritime trade and shipping, and therefore improving the performance of these ports is a crucial necessity.

Modern technology such as simio is used to create an initial model for simulating ports, which helps in understanding and analyzing the workflow of ports accurately. This model includes factors such as loading and unloading of cargo, storage management, and many other factors that affect the efficiency of the port.

This study aims to evaluate the performance of port operations using simio simulation technology, through analyzing the data and information provided by the initial model. The performance of different ports will be compared, and the factors affecting their efficiency will be identified, helping in making strategic decisions to improve port performance.

This article will be beneficial for stakeholders in the port sector, including port management and shipping companies, as it will help them better understand port performance and make strategic decisions to develop this sector. Additionally, it will serve as a starting point for the continuous improvement of port operations using the simio methodology and its further development.
