This paper aims to use agent paradigm for modeling a Container Terminal Management System (CTMS). Our methodology is organized along three main axes. The first objective is to describe the overall architecture of a Container Terminal (CT), its actors and modeling container?s handling process. The second one addresses the problem of safety in CT and specially the case of hazardous material. The latter proposes an agent approach for the development of CTMSs in an open source environment.
