Posford Haskoning believes that the introduction of POSPORT RTS ro-ro terminal simulation software will greatly assist ro-ro terminal operators and shipping lines, not only in Europe but world-wide, in the optimisation and intensification of their operations to achieve enhanced revenue streams for stakeholders and better levels of service to customers whilst minimising capital expenditure.
is an analytical tool that allows the many and varied features of a ro-ro terminal to be modelled explicitly. The terminal is modelled as a whole to ensure that the interactions between all the activities of a terminal are modelled precisely.

The range of features that can be modelled include physical features such as the layout of the terminal and the performance characteristics of each item of trailer and container handling equipment, and non-physical features such as the arrival and dwell time profiles for various types of freight traffic and the working hours of the terminal berths and gate.

provides the terminal operator with the facility to evaluate options of design and operation to maximise the total operation of their Roll-On Roll-Off terminal facilities.
