Given the recent change of container traffic calling on their terminal, the JPPL management requires to evaluate and improve the ITH trucking situation in their daily operations.
Jurong Port’s Container Terminal, which came into operation in mid-2001, has consecutively won the “Best Emerging Container Terminal Operator – Asia” Award at the renowned Asian Freight and Supply Chain Awards (AFSCA) in the past five years. With the increase in container traffic between its terminal and other local ports, there is an urgent need to efficiently transfer these inter-terminal containers. For this purpose SimPlus will develop a planning model specific to the inter-terminal trucking of containers to and from Jurong Port, and use it to evaluate the ITH trucking and propose improved planning strategies.

SimPlus is to develop an anchorage planning tool for Maritime and Port Authority (MPA), Singapore, based on its AnchorageView system. The project is the first step towards efficient sea space planning for the forecasted significant increase in vessel traffic calling on Singapore.
In addition to the land space crunch, the island city of Singapore is also limited in its port waters. It is thus critical that the sea space be partitioned effectively for anchorage, navigation and other purposes, keeping in mind the increase in maritime trade and the consolidation of Singapore’s position as an international maritime centre. This initiative by MPA aims to assess the current anchorage usage and forecast space requirement for the future.
MPA and SimPlus further strengthen their ties with the announcement of this new anchorage planning study. SimPlus will conduct this study for the Port Master’s division of MPA, which is led by Director Capt. M.A. Segar.
