摘要：

This study proposes a methodology of utilizing a buffer space as a method to increase the utilization of the material handling equipment and reduce the total container loading time. A simulation model using a graphics simulation system is developed to compare the proposed methodology with the current practice at the Port of Portland. The results from 96 simulation runs show that the use of a buffer space significantly improves the flow of material during the loading operation, resulting in an average of 4% reduction in the total loading time. The methodology proposed in this study can be evaluated and implemented for any transtainer-based container port operation, and is anticipated to make considerable contribution to the planning of future container port design.
