The port is a convergence point between the
circulation load of two domains: maritime and
land [1]. Port terminals handle more cargo than
other types of terminals; they can be categorized
in public or private, or according to the cargo:
containers, bulk, hazardous materials and liquids.
However, port terminals have to improve their
process in terms of its agility and ability to
respond to unforeseen events. In this context, the
use of management concepts from the supply
chain encourages the flow of information and
resources and strengthens ties between parties in
the port logistics chain.
