Rising challenges of horizontal transports on container terminals and of the transports between various handling companies in the port demand a continuous improvement of processes and strategies to meet the requirements by clients and society. A low-risk method to test possible improvements is discrete event simulation. In this publication, horizontal transport on container terminals is compared to drayage transport between different handling companies in the port area. Similarities and contrasts are analyzed to simplify the transfer of knowledge between the two research fields.
