	%X Container handling problems at container terminals
are NP-hard problems. This paper presents an approach using
discrete-event simulation modeling to optimize solution for storage
space allocation problem, taking into account all various interrelated
container terminal handling activities. The proposed approach is
applied on a real case study data of container terminal at Alexandria
port. The computational results show the effectiveness of the
proposed model for optimization of storage space allocation in
container terminal where 54% reduction in containers handling time
in port is achieved.
