System dynamics was applied to understand, evaluate and model the operation of a container terminal. A Microworlds or management flight simulator was developed in this study to capture both the operational and strategic level processes of a container terminal. The operational level model was used to evaluate the relationship and interdependency between the berth and yard operations while the strategic level model was used for capacity planning.
