Simulation studies for large infrastructure systems often consists of a large number of experiments. Performing all experiments, and the required adjustments to simulation models, is time consuming. In addition it is difficult to keep track of all performed experiments and compare the outcome of these experiments. These issues can be clearly identified by observing a simulation study at the port of Tanger which is performed in the traditional way. In this paper we describe an alternative approach for performing simulation studies regarding large maritime infrastructure systems. This approach includes the use of a domain specific template developed in the simulation environment Arena and a database tool that enables creation, evaluation and managing simulation experiments.
