Abstract

There are several challenges involving the representation of an ore loading port system using a simulation package. This kind of port handles bulk material, much more adequately represented by continuous flow than discrete flow, as in opposite to the case of a container-handling port. This paper addresses specifically the impact of meeting product mix requirements in the delivery and the ship arrival schedules. A method to model this feature is presented. Also, the modeling approach of these aspects is presented, and the experimentation in the case of Porto do Açu, located at Rio de Janeiro, is performed to check the method's efficiency.
