The berth scheduling problem deals with the assignment of vessels to berth space in a container terminal. Defining berth schedules in container terminal operations translates in …
Berth allocation is one of the crucial points for efficient management of ports. This problem is complex due to all possible combinations for assigning ships to available compatible berths …
This work presents a new approach to the Berth Allocation Problem (BAP) for ships in ports. Due to the increasing demand for ships carrying containers, the BAP can be considered as a …
This paper considers the Dynamic Berth Allocation Problem, in which vessels are assigned to discrete positions in berths. This problem, whose goal is to minimize the total time the …
Abstract The Minimum Cost Hybrid Berth Allocation problem is defined as follows: for a given list of vessels with fixed handling times, the appropriate intervals in berth and time …
The berth allocation problem (BAP) arising in maritime container terminals has received great attention in the literature over recent years. It has been largely modeled as an integer …
This work focuses on comparing the performance of three well known metaheuristics for determining the best berthing sequence in terms of minimization of total penalty cost when …
The increasing volume of maritime freight is presented as a challenge to those skilled terminal managers seeking to maintain or increase their market share. In this context, an …
