In order to accommodate the growth in intercontinental container transport, port facilities have to be up-scaled drastically. One of the major challenges is to increase the capacity of the marine operation on a container terminal. In this study the model of a quay transport system using automated guided vehicles (AGVs) is used to deduce logistic principles for the design of a terminal layout an...

Container terminals are designed to provide support for the continuous changes in container ships. The most common schemes used for dock management are based on discrete and continuous locations. In view of the steadily growing trend in increasing container ship size, more flexible berth allocation planning is mandatory. The consideration of continuous location in the container terminal is a go...

Both of berth allocation and quay crane assignment are one of the most complex parts in container terminal operations, which significantly affect the operational efficiency, energy consumption and operational cost of the entire container terminal. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an efficient strategy for integrated berth allocation and quay crane assignment (BACP) from the perspective of ...

We consider the ship planning problem at maritime container terminals where containers are loaded onto and discharged from ships using quay cranes. The container transport between the ships and the yard positions in the terminal is carried out by a fleet of straddle carriers. Based on a stowage plan provided by the shipping company, the dispatcher assigns containers to specified bay positions. ...
