This paper discusses the model development of carbon emission cost in container terminal operations planning using a system dynamics approach. Operational planning in a container terminal consists of planning a vessel at berth process, containers loading and unloading processes by quay cranes, containers transportation process by container trucks, containers loading and unloading processes by yard cranes, and containers receiving and delivery processes by container trailers. In each stage, the process will produce carbon gas emissions. A system dynamics simulation model was applied to determine the optimal allocation of the number of used material handling equipment based on the number of handled containers to minimize the total carbon emissions in a container terminal operations planning. The design of a system dynamics simulation model considers the uncertainty in the vessel arrival time and the number of containers that should be handled on each moored vessel at the berth. The system dynamics model had been applied to a numerical example for resulting the optimal solutions of planning decisions at container terminal operations.
