Port terminals play a critical role in the context of world trade since they are the main nodes
responsible for connecting sea and land transportation. There are several optimization …

Abstract Container Terminals (CTs) are continuously presented with highly interrelated,
complex, and uncertain planning tasks. The ever-increasing intensity of operations at CTs in …

The economic development of numerous countries is defined by maritime supply chains to a
great extent. Substantial volumes of containerized cargoes delivered by ships are handled …

Improving container ports' operational efficiency to reduce the delays at ports concerns
global port operators significantly. Optimizing the tactical level allocation of quay side and …

The integrated scheduling of quay cranes, yard cranes, and internal vehicles in a port allows
for further optimization of resource allocation on a global scale. Since the scheduling objects …

Berth allocation problems are amongst the most important problems occurring in port
terminals, and they are greatly affected by several unpredictable events. As a result, the …

The limited availability of berths and channels is generally the bottleneck restricting the
capacity of a seaport and thus resulting in traffic congestion. Optimizing the operations of the …

Operations research techniques have helped optimize container terminal operations over
the past decades and have been a regular feature of maritime logistics and maritime supply …

This paper investigates a novel extension of the berth allocation problem (BAP), which
mainly determines berths and times for arriving vessels. Most previous studies on the BAP …

The berth allocation and quay crane assignment problem (BACAP) is an important port
operation planning problem. To obtain an effective and reliable schedule of berth and quay …
