Abstract: Due to the complexity and dynamics of container terminal multilevel handlings, the occurrence of uncertain events often leads to the disruption of many operation plans and forms a chain reaction, resulting in economic losses and impacts. In this paper, the uncertain event propagation network model of container terminal multilevel handlings is constructed by using the hypernetwork theory, and the propagation influence of uncertain events between multilevel handlings at container terminals is considered. Through the topological characteristics of the uncertain event propagation network, the risk analysis is carried out for the relevance of nodes and the influence extent of uncertain events, and a simulation analysis is carried out to verify the validity of this model. The simulation results show that the model conforms to power law distribution, and the number of old nodes has an impact on the growth of hyperedge. The research provides a powerful tool for analysing the influence of uncertain events and their derivative events in the multilevel handlings at container terminals and has positive significance for reducing the losses caused by the changes of terminal plans and improving the operation efficiency.
