Priority control of berth allocation problem in container terminals

Simultaneous Optimization of Berth Allocation, Quay Crane Assignment and Quay Crane Scheduling Problems in Container Terminals

In this work, we focus on the integrated planning of the following problems faced within the context of seaside operations at container terminals: berth allocation, quay crane assignment, and quay crane scheduling. First, we formulate a new binary integer linear program for the integrated solution of the berth allocation and quay crane assignment problems called BACAP. Then we extend it by inco...

Optimal berth allocation, time-variant quay crane assignment and scheduling with crane setups in container terminals

We focus on the integrated seaside operations in container terminals, namely the integration of berth allocation, quay crane assignment and quay crane scheduling problems. We first develope a mixed-integer linear programming formulation. Then, we propose an efficient cutting plane algorithm based on a decomposition scheme. Our approach deals with berthing positions of the vessels and their assi...

Berth allocation in container terminals that service feeder ships and deep-sea vessels

This paper treats a berth allocation problem in dedicated container terminals where feeder ships and container vessels are jointly served. When assigning quay space and a service time to each calling ship particular focus is put on the container exchange between feeder ships and vessels, so that the weighted number of containers delivered by feeder missing their intended vessel is minimized. Th...

Optimal berth allocation and time-invariant quay crane assignment in container terminals

Due to the dramatic increase in the world’s container traffic, the efficient management of operations in seaport container terminals has become a crucial issue. In this work, we focus on the integrated planning of the following problems faced at container terminals: berth allocation, quay crane assignment (number), and quay crane assignment (specific). First, we formulate a new binary integer l...
