Abstract

M&S has proved to be a day-to-day tool highly indispensable for complex systems design, management and training. Therefore, the proposed research study aims at developing a simulation model to recreate the complexity of the Algeciras port, one of the biggest container terminals in Spain. The simulation model is developed by using the discrete event simulation software Arena and is validated considering three validation scenarios. Lastly, based on the simulation outputs, a specific analysis about the port management and control policies has been presented.
