چکیده
This paper elaborates the different operations research methods used to solve container terminal operational decisions including terminal design, berth allocation, quay crane assignment, quay crane scheduling, container storage space allocation, container location assignment, retrieval, and premarshalling, as well as resource scheduling and terminal logistics in general. Solution methods including optimization using mixed integer linear programming, heuristic methods and discrete event simulation will be described. Implementing these methods will have dramatic impact on container terminal performance and operating costs.
