What we Delivered
A terminal that looks efficient on paper can collapse under peak load. At ASCELA, we stress-test operations before the first container moves, so decisions on equipment, priority, and layout are grounded in evidence, not assumption.
Discrete Event Simulation Model
A fully integrated Arena-based simulation model replicating yard, rail, and truck gate operations as interconnected processes, capturing equipment interactions, handling times, movement distances, and priority logic derived from the facility's design layout and operational parameters.
Scenario Sensitivity Analysis
Comprehensive scenario testing across variations in Reach Stacker fleet size, handling priority rules, and dedicated resource allocation strategies, providing decision-makers with a clear matrix of operational trade-offs and improvement pathways.
Base Case Assessment
Rigorous simulation of the planned infrastructure configuration, quantifying truck and train turnaround times, Reach Stacker utilisation, hardstand occupancy, gate lane throughput, and queue build-up across peak and non-peak operating windows.
Phased Operational Roadmap
Actionable recommendations on equipment investment, handling priority protocols, truck scheduling adjustments, and layout considerations, structured to guide both near-term operational decisions and longer-term capacity planning ahead of the 2032 demand ramp-up.
