The huge volume of shipping containers leads to seeking a better performance of all container terminals in a seaport. Container terminals are spaces for transiting goods from origin point to a destination point. In recent years, several studies on seaport performance have been done to develop new optimization strategies and decision-making tools. After a description of a maritime environment as a state of the art, follows a flexsim-based simulation model of the flow and the massified transport of containers. This discrete-event Flexsim simulation is proposed to validate the massified transfer scenarios of containers from and to the future multimodal terminal of Le Havre seaport.
