Abstract
Port Community Systems (PCS) plays a role in supporting the competitiveness and efficiency of seaports through the reduction in both costs and the time needed for cargo to stay at the port. At seaports, multiple transport providers interact and a transport modal switch may occur. Seaports are therefore especially suited to assist the collaboration between terminals and transport providers. For doing so, a framework for sharing information between partners is needed in order to find transport solutions that can deliver cargo on-time, in a typical win-win situation. In this paper, we discuss a framework for guiding a wise allocation of cargo. The seaport is modeled as a store system, and cargo is categorized according to fixed properties and time varying properties (remaining time until due-time or expiration date). The cooperation is done in real-time and is a step towards synchromodal freight networks.
