Abstract: Quay cranes are essential operating systems at container terminals. Their scheduling involves conflicting objectives, such as minimising vessel handling times, maximising productivity, and reducing the number of required terminal trucks. Logistic Operating Curves, known from production logistics, offer a suitable method for analysing such trade-offs and can be derived and validated through simulation. This paper proposes a simulation model of a container terminal to develop and parameterise characteristic Logistic Operating Curves. The analysis focuses on the conflict between quay cranes productivity and number of terminal trucks. Different assignment procedures for terminal truck are considered to examine their impact on system productivity.
