Stacking Activity Modeling in Tanjung Priok Container Terminal Using Discrete Event Simulation

Abstract

Tanjung Priok Port and international trade are two things that cannot be separated. However, the performance of the Tanjung Priok Container Terminal is currently not optimal even though Tanjung Priok is the main port lever in Indonesia in terms of exports to foreign countries. As a result, increasing the productivity of container ports in serving container traffic flows is essential. In order to improve container terminal productivity, this study will create a model and simulation of container stacking in the stacking yard (stacking area). A proper stacking procedure (stacking rules) will limit the amount of reshuffling, which is a waste in container operations. The study's findings are discrete event simulation-based models that may be used to evaluate container stacking options based on container terminal productivity. As a result, it is planned to provide an understanding of the relationship between productivity and container stacking procedures in stacking yards.
