Modeling and simulation in design processes is traditionally used during the analysis of the future system. However, simulation-based design allows the use of modeling and simulation throughout the synthesis phase which offers greater flexibility to quickly compare alternative designs. In case of container terminals, these alternatives are based on different aspects such as layouts, terminal operating systems, and equipments. Container terminals are characterized by a large number of entity types with multiple instances, interacting in various non-trivial ways. A component-based approach makes the construction of a suitable model easier: the designer can focus on the relevant constructs instead of lower level details. However, much effort is needed to achieve compatibility and modularity between the components. DEVS provides the higher level constructs to conceptualize a complex system independently from the underlying implementation. We present a DEVS component library for container terminal design wherein much attention has been put into the conceptual distinction between control and mechanics. This results in a library that can actively support the design process of containers terminals.
