Many researches have been conducted to perform safety measures on ports by creating simulating models to
anticipate the current situation in order to prevent delays and reduce cost. Studies have been conducted in schedule
loading operations in container terminals to integrate optimization algorithms and evaluate performance via
functions in the simulation model. For example, in a research done in [4], the main events are: initializing container
sequence according to some dispatching rule, then the sequence will be improved by a genetic algorithm, and the
objective function of a given scheduling scheme will be evaluated using a simulation model. Another model is
designed to foresee the objective function and to remove poor solutions in order to decrease the simulation model
running time. Many tests have shown that scheduling problem of container terminals can be solved by simulation
optimization methods
