SimPlus customized its Cargo Terminal Simulation (CTS) system for PSA International and used it to evaluate a number of design concepts for their import export terminals.
The new concepts focus on the efficient and effective use of yard space for import and export container operations. The study brings to light how different layouts influence the performance under different scenarios, and eventually help the port operator to choose the right layout for any given setup of terminal operations.
Ms. Stuti Nautiyal, a Director of SimPlus, believes that “this project marks a complete investigation of PSA’s different concepts in yard use, for its transshipment terminals and import-export terminals. We are glad to have worked with the world’s premier port operator to tackle the problems arising from the increasing need for scarce land space to meet the exponentially growing cargo volumes.”
Mr. Chan Tian Heong, Deputy Manager of Group Technical & Operations Development Division, PSA International, thinks highly of the project. He is quoted as saying “I must recommend you on the thoroughness of your analysis and the high level of professionalism shown during the course of this challenging and insightful study on designing optimal yard layout.”
