Study on the Queueing Simulation of Lock Gates according to the Functional Rearrangement in lncheon Port

Abstract

Due to the construction of Incheon Grand Bridge, there is driven a necessity for rearranging the function of Inner Port with the development of Outer South Port. In this paper, I'd like to simulate the port operation levels of Lock Gate in Inner Port with estimating the trqffic volumes of 2011 and 2015, which will reveal the Demurrage Cost and the Accumulation Cost of Freight in Inner Port. Finally I will evaluate the economic movement effects of the container ship's calling from Inner port to South Port/Outer South Port from 2011 to 2015. The results are as followings" (1) The average utilization of Lock Gates are reduced by 7-8 percentage point. (2) The mean queueing value are saved by 25 percentage point. (3) The Demurrage Cost and the Accumulation Cost of Freight except Lock Gate charges and the Benefit of Routeing Reduction are saved about 800 million Won annually.
