Abstract
Currently, container shipping development is directly
associated with an increase of warehouse areas for
containers’ storage. One of the most successful types of
container terminal is an intermodal terminal called a dry
port. Main pollution sources during the organization of intermodal
transport are considered. A system of dry port
parameters, which are recommended for the evaluation
of different scenarios for a seaport infrastructure development
at the stage of its strategic planning, is proposed in
this paper. The authors have developed a method for determining
the optimal values of the main dry port parameters
by simulation modeling in the programming software Any-
Logic. Dependencies thatwere obtained as a result of modeling
experiments prove the adequacy of main selected dry
port parameters for the effective scenarios’ evaluation of
throughput and handling capacity at existing seaports at
the stage of strategic planning and a rational dry port location,
allowed ensuring the improvement of the ecological
situation in a port city.
