MODEL FOR PROCUREMENT OF PORT’S MODERN EQUIPMENT

Simulators is one option of evaluating port facilities where the actual port operation is simulated by computers and make believe machinery and best method of providing services and purchase ofrelevant equipment can be determined. Shahid Rajaie Terminal as the Country’s largest and most important port terminal and the mainstarting point of import and export containers is simulated by ED system of simulation and its services and operation of modern facilities is evaluated and controlled. By study of efficiency of operators of various equipment, the waiting time of ships and containers are closely monitored andif the waiting period is considerable, the procurement of new equipment is recommended in order to minimize waiting time. Consequently a system to acquire suitable equipment to improve services to ships and cut the time of in-port period, has been established
