Using ammonia as an alternative marine fuel has been gaining interest in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime sector. This paper describes the development of a discrete event simulation model for bunker supply chain, emphasising how ammonia bunkering affects the operational and economic performance of the system. The results show that the model is a useful tool for ammonia bunker supply chain management, including the selection of the number and capacity of ammonia bunker supply vessels, bunkering flow rate and ammonia demand. Flow rate has a significant impact on bunkering service time, with an effect of up to 51.3% when it is changed by ±50%. The greater the demand for ammonia, the more significant the impact of ammonia bunkering flow rate on bunkering service time. Moreover, the number of ammonia bunker supply vessels is the most sensitive parameter for annual operational cost, with an effect of up to 15.2%.

使用氨作为替代船用燃料已经引起了海事部门减少温室气体排放的兴趣。本文介绍了燃料供应链离散事件仿真模型的开发，强调了氨加注如何影响系统的运营和经济绩效。结果表明，该模型是氨燃料供应链管理的有用工具，包括氨燃料供应船的数量和容量、加注流量和氨需求的选择。流量对加注服务时间有显着影响，当流量变化±50%时，影响高达51.3%。对氨的需求越大，氨加注流量对加注服务时间的影响越显着。而且，
