BULK PORT SIMULATION METHODOLOGY

Description of a computer simulation methodology for analyzing bulk material handling ports. To analyze the land-side and water-side factors "Soros Associates" developed two basic computer simulation methods: "Portlog" and "Yardlog" and assembled a data bank to supply practical input data to the simulations.
