Due to the variety of technical equipments and terminal layouts, research has produced a
multitude of optimization models for seaside operations planning in container terminals. To …

In this research, continuous and dynamic Berth Allocation Problem (BAP) is studied to
minimize the total weighted flow time. Different from previous studies on continuous BAP, an …

For a container terminal system, efficient berth and quay crane (QC) schedules have great
impact on the improvement of both operation efficiency and customer satisfaction. In this …

In this paper we integrate at the tactical level two decision problems arising in container
terminals: the berth allocation problem, which consists of assigning and scheduling …

This paper examines the allocation of berths and quay cranes for vessels arriving at
container terminals. Previous work in this area has either ignored or deemphasized the …

We consider a container terminal operator who faces the problem of constructing a cyclic
berth plan. Such a plan defines the arrival and departure times of each cyclically calling …

A feedback procedure is introduced to the robust berth allocation problem with stochastic
vessel delays. This procedure emphasizes the interrelationship between the planning stage …

Nowadays, approximately 90 per cent of the world's cargoes are moved by vessels, and the
majority of general cargoes are transported in containers. Accordingly, a container terminal …

Effective scheduling has a significant effect on efficiency in container terminals. This paper
proposes a model of tugboat scheduling and applies an improved Discrete Chaos Particle …

This article provides an overview of operational planning and scheduling problems at
seaport container terminals. It considers problems that deal with the seaside resources of a …
