With the steady-state growth of throughput in Tianjin port, it is of great importance to search for the potential bottleneck that restricts its further development. The coordination development of berths and channel plays a vital role in the function exertion for every port. At first the statistical regularity of coming vessel, berthing time and so on are studied. Then the whole process for the vessels from entering the anchorage ground to leaving the port is realized by discrete-time simulation model, which is based on the proposed distributions. The capacity of the main channel in Tianjin port is studied under two scheduling strategies: First Come First Served (FCFS) and Minimum Berth-time First Served (MBFS). At last, some proposals are given to coordinate the development of berths and channel in Tianjin port. Simulation results show that MBFS is better than FCFS strategy and enhancing vessel grade is an effective way to promote the throughput of Tianjin port.
