The liner transport has brought enormous influence on the liner ship company and the container port. The most obvious change is the arrival time of ships, which is restricted by the corresponding schedule timetables. Based on a hypothesis that ships reach port completely randomly, thus, the traditional queuing model is no longer suit for modern container terminal. Therefore, a new queuing model is suggested in this paper. And a simulation for the service system is also developed. Results of numerical examples show that the proposed queuing model is significant to the construction and operation of container terminals
