The paper presents a methodology to construct a Discrete Event Simulation model to assess the expansion of a container terminal. The methodology was applied to the Ensenada International Terminal located in Mexico. The simulation integrates all the operations of the container terminal including the arrival of vessels, trucks, and storage of containers. The expansion plan included the addition of anew berth, and additional storage yard space. The expansion model was evaluated under different demand increments. Recommendations were provided on the level of demand that the expansion may be able to serve. As a result, the additional berth will increase the capacity, but the projected storage space will support up to a 140% increase in demand with a 20% in reserve. The terminal must consider additional storage space either in the terminal or at an external facility for additional demand greater than 140%, or for having a larger storage reserve.
El artículo presenta una metodología para construir un modelo de simulación de eventos discretos para evaluar la expansión de una terminal de contenedores. La metodología fue aplicada a la Terminal Internacional de Contenedores de Ensenada ubicada en México. La simulación integra todas las operaciones de la terminal de contenedores, incluida la llegada de embarcaciones, camiones y almacenamiento de contenedores. El plan de expansión incluyó la incorporación de un muelle adicional y espacio adicional de almacenamiento en el patio. El modelo de expansión se evaluó bajo diferentes incrementos en la demanda. Se proporcionaron recomendaciones sobre el nivel de demanda capaz de servir. Como resultado, el muelle adicional aumentará la capacidad, pero el espacio de almacenamiento proyectado soportará hasta un 140% de aumento en la demanda con un 20% de reserva. La terminal debe considerar espacio de almacenamiento adicional, ya sea en la terminal o en una instalación externa para una demanda adicional mayor al 140% o para tener una mayor reserva de almacenamiento
