Cargo Terminal Simulation (CTS) system mirrors the entire spectrum of terminal operations in a simulation system to answer various ‘what-if’ questions. Berth operations, yard operations and the transport between berth and yard are modeled in a realistic integrated view with diverse modes of synchronization and interaction.

CTS offers a reconfigurable and scalable system architecture to accommodate the complexity of port operations and serve different purposes of planning. In the ports where vessel and hinterland transport tracking is available, it can make use of the real time information to integrate both seaward and landward operations and emulate the activities in a virtual terminal. The distinctive design makes CTS uniquely a handy tool for both long term and day-to-day operations planning.
