Abstract

Abstract: Combined with the key link of the general cargo loading and unloading operations, the system simulation method is employed to analyze the production efficiency for the general cargo handling operation. The Plant Simulation software is used to design the main modules of the production process such as collection operation, vessel arrival, yard operation, horizontal transportation, ship-loading operation. The simulation model of general cargo handling operation is established based on the whole operation process. The simulation model is running based on the practical production data, and the efficiency of the crane, transitions time and the average storage period are analyzed. The experimental results show that the simulation model is a good reflection of the general cargo handling process. The improvement of crane efficiency can benefit the shipment efficiency and reduce the utilization rate of yard. The increase of the transitions time will lead to the reduction of ship-loading efficiency, the sharp rising of yard utilization and make the yard crowded.
