Scenario sequence number | Scenario description |
---|---|
SCENARIO 1 | Basic model with 630,000 TEU of annual throughput. |
SCENARIO 2 | The quay of the basic model was extended by 100 m and ships were served by 6 PP and 2 P QCs. The annual throughput remained unchanged. |
SCENARIO 3 | To the previous model a weekly service with a PP ship was added. The annual throughput rose to 689,000 TEU. |
SCENARIO 4 | Another weekly service with a PP ship was added to the previous model, while one feeder service was eliminated. The annual throughput changed to 768,000 TEU. |
SCENARIO 5 | The QC layout was changed to 7 PP and 1 P. The ship schedule changed with one new PP service instead of a small one. The annual throughput rose to 844,000 TEU. |
SCENARIO 6 | The weekly schedule changed with the purpose of increasing the annual throughput to 899,000 TEU. |
SCENARIO 7 | In the last scenario only PP QCs were placed on the quay. The weekly schedule changed in order to increase the annual throughput to 990,000 TEU. |
