With a liquid bulk terminal planned at Jurong Port, it is important to assess whether the expected growth in general and bulk cargo can be adequately sustained in future. SimPlus was tasked to conduct the study for JPPL.
SimPlus’ berth simulator was configured to emulate JPPL’s berth operations setup. Required data analysis was conducted to determine the traffic and corresponding attributes of calling vessels. Future traffic scenarios were then simulated to determine whether target service levels could be achieved in future.
Based on the study, SimPlus put forth certain recommendations which will be used by JPPL when planning their future operations.

SimPlus has been commissioned to conduct a formal safety assessment for a multi-agency project involving Ministry of National Development (MND), Maritime Port Authority (MPA), Jurong Town Corporation (JTC) and Housing Development Board (HDB).
Extending the project completed for MPA, this study is to focus on the traffic in the regions of interest in the Port of Singapore, over the next couple of decades, and assess the risk level under the different peak traffic scenarios. Under IMO’s FSA framework, SimPlus’ Vessel Traffic Management (VTM) system will be used for the purpose.

SimPlus has been commissioned by MPA to conduct a formal safety assessment for port waters around the region where Singapore’s future container port is to be developed. SimPlus has followed International Maritime Organization (IMO)’s recognized FSA methodology as the framework for this study.
The study will highlight areas of concern (if any) due to the development of the future container port and other new marine facilities in the region. Such a study is fast becoming the norm in the face of rising coastal development and rapid increase in the vessel movement in port waters of busy ports worldwide.

Connecting terminal operations and vessel traffic, Berth Capacity Planning Tool (BCPT) is a useful tool in assessing berth capacity of any terminal layout. It is the first of its kind in the market that incorporates berth allocation at the operational level while enforcing vessel navigation in the waterways to comply with COLREGS, so as to evaluate the impact of such behaviors on the berth demand and therefore berth capacity.
BCPT has been customized for use by MPA and a future scenario study has been conducted using the same, to demonstrate the features and utility of the tool.
