Optimization of all activities taking place in container terminal enables - among others - proper design of routes for terminal vehicles transporting containers to and from storage place and performing loading operations on it. Storage place in container terminal is used to store containers which cannot be taken out within short time. Because storage place is one of the parts of the terminal, its simulation should work in a system describing whole terminal. In simulation of storage place there are two crucial points: - synchronization of events, - optimization of vehicles movements. Because some events can occur simultaneously, it is indispensable to introduce priorities in their management. Therefore highest priority has been attached to truck service (i.e. loading containers on trucks), lowest priority - to the transport of containers inside storage place. Optimization procedures ensuring full dynamic evidence of containers being on the terminal enable best use of terminal vehicles. In this paper two quality indices are taken into account - first minimizing energy, second minimizing time of the service. First index is deciding when there is reserve in time and therefore cost of loading is prevailing. Second - when the terminal is almost full of containers waiting for immediate service.
