A port simulation model (Monte Carlo type) is presented to simulate the future economic port capacity to meet projected cargo demand. The first part of the model determines the effects caused by the port capacity expansion. The second part evaluates the port economics due to changes in the port capacity. The simulation model was tested by applying it to the actual port expansion followed at the Port of Mobile in Alabama.
