Optimizing Container Terminal Operations

A Discrete Event Simulation Model For The Analysis Of Critical Factors In The Expansion Plan Of A Marine Container Terminal

In this paper we present a discrete event simulation model to approach the decision problems arising from an expansion plan of a marine container terminal. In particular the preliminary study herein presented starts from a collaboration with the Southern European Container Hub (SECH) sited in the Port of Genoa, Italy. The planned expansion will take place from 2010, the terminal area will enlar...

Multi-Agent Systems for Container Terminal Management

An overview of literature is conducted on research focusing on improving the performance of container terminals. The growth of containerization has led to numerous decision problems for container terminal management to consider in operating their container terminals more efficiently, e.g. where to place a ship along a quay, scheduling the resources to work a ship, etc. The research papers revie...

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...
