  abstract = {Container terminals, which are part of the global port system, represent important hubs of this intermodal transport system. Therefore, the need to improve operational efficiency is the most important problem for container terminals from an economic point of view. In this article, the main objective is to simulate a transshipment operation in the port of Tangier. A mathematical model is developed to formulate an integrated processing system and find an efficient solution algorithm for the Rubber-tyred gantry (RTGs) deployment as a handling equipment for container stacking at terminals, taking into account both the loading and unloading times. This model takes into account the loading and unloading operations time as well as quay crane and yard crane (Y.C). This model’s goal is to constitute a cost reduction strategy. By reducing this transshipment equipment use, this model takes into account the specific objective of minimum total cost, including both the optimal RTGs usage and the total operations time for the quay cranes (QC)},
