An Object-Oriented Logistics over the Shore Simulation: An Aid in Throughput Estimation

Abstract

This thesis documents the design, validation, and demonstration of a simulation model for the instream offload of vehicles from a Roll On/Roll Off ship. The model is an object-oriented, discrete event simulation written in MODSIM II. The objective is to design and demonstrate a model that can accurately estimate throughput times for the total offload of a vessel instream using various mixes of lighterage. With this tool, Logistics Over The Shore (LOTS) planners will be better able to estimate throughput and possibly tailor their mix of lighterage to a given set of fixed parameters
