Simulation Suggestion

strategic

What if Mediterranean port terminal capacity expands by 30% post-acquisition?

Simulate the impact of integrating Tarros' 31-port Mediterranean network with Contship's existing terminals, assuming a 30% increase in combined container handling capacity and 2,700 customer base consolidation. Model effects on transit times, port congestion, and service level targets across the region.
