| Summary | We developed a model to simulate international maritime container cargo flow (MICCS: Model for International Container Cargo Simulation), in order to measure the impacts of international transport policy such as port investment. The model can reproduce the current situation, especially at the level of the total amount of container cargo handled by ports. |
