This paper discusses the problem of scheduling quay cranes (QCs), the most important
equipment in port terminals. A mixed-integer programming model, which considers various …

Scheduling problems can be understood in general as the problems of allocating resources
over time to perform a set of tasks being parts of some processes, among which …

The tactical berth allocation problem (BAP) concerns the allocation of favorite berthing
positions to ships that periodically call at the terminals. This paper investigates the tactical …

In the berth-allocation problem (BAP) the aim is to optimally schedule and assign ships to
berthing areas along a quay. The objective is the minimization of the total (weighted) service …

This paper addresses the berth allocation problem in a multi-user container terminal. There
are two typical schemes for berth allocation: one in discrete locations and the other in …
