A branch-and-price algorithm to solve the integrated berth allocation and yard assignment problem in bulk ports
In this research, two crucial optimization problems of berth allocation and yard assignment in the context of bulk ports are studied. We discuss how these problems are interrelated and can be combined and solved as a single large scale optimization problem. More importantly we emphasize the differences in operations between bulk ports and container terminals which emphasizes the need to devise ...
متن کاملModel and heuristic for berth allocation in tidal bulk ports with stock level constraints
We consider the problem of allocating berth positions for vessels in tidal bulk port terminals. A berth is defined as a specific location alongside a quay where a ship loader is available for loading or unloading vessels, accommodating only one vessel at a time. In tidal ports, draft conditions depend on high tide conditions, since available depth at low tide is not adequate for the movement of...
متن کاملIntegrated Berth Allocation and Yard Assignment in Bulk Ports using Column Generation
One of the primary modes for worldwide trade of goods is maritime transport, which is exposed to rapid growth. In order to handle the increase of the traffic in ports, optimization of port operations has been studied and implemented in the past. In container terminals, significant amount of work has been done in the field of large scale optimization. In published literature, the main focus lies...
متن کاملCombining Heuristic and Exact Methods to Solve the Vehicle Routing Problem with Pickups, Deliveries and Time Windows
The vehicle routing problem with pickups, deliveries and time windows (PDPTW) is an important member in the class of vehicle routing problems. In this paper a general heuristic to construct an initial feasible solution is proposed and compared with other construction methods. New route reconstruction heuristics are then shown to improve on this. These reconstruction heuristics look to reorder i...
متن کاملMinimizing the Total Service Time of Discrete Dynamic Berth Allocation Problem by an Iterated Greedy Heuristic
Berth allocation is the forefront operation performed when ships arrive at a port and is a critical task in container port optimization. Minimizing the time ships spend at berths constitutes an important objective of berth allocation problems. This study focuses on the discrete dynamic berth allocation problem (discrete DBAP), which aims to minimize total service time, and proposes an iterated ...
