Simulation and scheduling tools a must for busy ports

Two maritime software tools – Amatis, used to undertake traffic simulations, and Seaberth, used for both berth scheduling and berth simulation – are being deployed as part of a major new port development in Qatar. Over the next 10-15 years, Ras Laffan Port will be transformed into the biggest liquefied natural gas (LNG) dispatch point for consignments to the US, the UK and Japan, while also implementing major new container and general cargo terminals.
