The paper presents: the terminal’s infrastructure, the loading’s plans, the equipment’s details, the operational data onboard, the systemic analysis of the terminal. In order to highlight the operational optimization in the cargo terminal, operating scenarios are proposed, to which simulation models are attached. Enter parameters such as towing units, return / load / unload speed, the distance between parallel and opposite parking rows and the load pick-up time, using working diagrams. It simulates the operability in the terminal. In the analyzed terminal, the expected size of the ship is not found in the equations attached to a simulation model, because the degree of berth occupancy is actually related to the number of access points, where a frame can be placed and not the length available berth. The terminal usually operates by scheduling ships in advance and therefore arrival times are usually planned in advance and follow a strict schedule. The simulation results (performance indicators) lead to the estimation of the values for the optimal quay time, in relation to the number of units for loading in the proposed scenarios. It takes into account whether the arrival pattern is random or scheduled and the time of service provided by the terminal. Also, the different types of goods and their distribution on the quay are identified and taken into account. A methodology for assessing the level of service provided by the terminal under certain operational constraints is also provided, in part, as a by-product of the methodology.
