Ports play a crucial role in global commerce, and efficiency is a key in all aspects of port operations. Rail, as a greener, safer, and cheaper mode of transport compared to trucks, is expected to handle an increasing share of cargo. However, planning and optimizing rail operations in ports is complex. Discrete event simulation (DES) offers a powerful tool for port planners to evaluate and design scenarios in a risk-free digital environment. This paper focuses on the application of DES in optimizing rail operations in ports. It describes real-world projects where simulation has been successfully used to improve rail yard design, analyze train schedules, and assess throughput capacity. These case studies demonstrate the benefits of simulation in providing valuable insights for decision-making in port rail planning, ultimately leading to more efficient and cost-effective operations.
