A Study of Container Terminal Planning

A container port must be planned to satisfy prompt accommodation of ships with minimum waiting time in port, and with maximum use of berth facilities. Somewhere between these opposing objectives each container port must reach a compromise, the number of berths which will achieve the most economical transfer of cargo between ships and shore. Computational experiments were conducted to evaluate t...

The optimal number of yard cranes in container terminal

The aim of this study is to propose a new mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model to find the minimum required number of yard cranes, Rubber tyred gantry cranes (RTGCs), for completion the total amount of works at the end of planning horizon. In other word, we find the optimal number of yard cranes in a container terminal which completes the total amount of works. The paper supports the p...

The Quay Crane Deployment Problem at a Maritime Container Terminal

Container unloading/loading at marine container terminals (MCTs) is a key logistic process, to which some research efforts have been addressed by using mathematical programming models formulated in a deterministic-static environment. Vice versa, DES models in a stochastic-dynamic environment are well capable of representing the entire process. Hence, simulation results to be an effective planni...
