A review of how simulation and optimisation techniques have been applied to help and improve the management of intermodal container terminals is presented. The paper does not provide a detailed list of references and of existing software packages, since it would be very hard for such a list to be complete and exhaustive. This paper aims to identify the major problem classes whose instances can be found in the operations of container terminals, then to discover which approaches have been chosen to solve these problems and, finally, understand why a given solution has proven successful and why some problem classes have not deserved the same attention obtained by some other classes. On the basis of this review, some research directions are proposed towards the application of simulation and optimisation tools and techniques to the problem of container terminal management.
